Here's a polished and concise reformatted version:
3. Agency
BYD Holidays acts solely as a travel agent, offering products from various suppliers, including airlines, holiday packages, group bookings, accommodations, travel insurance, and airport transfers. We operate under the terms and conditions of our Travel Partners, which apply from the time of booking.
Our role is limited to facilitating bookings and arranging contracts between you and service providers. We are not responsible for the delivery of services by these providers. If a travel service provider cannot fulfill their obligations, your legal recourse is directly with them, not BYD Holidays.
4. Reviews
User and accommodation reviews featured on our platform are sourced from third-party platforms, which operate under their own publication, scoring, and ranking policies. These reviews are provided for informational purposes only, and we do not monitor their accuracy or reliability.
5. No Recommendation or Endorsement
BYD Holidays does not endorse or recommend any specific travel service, supplier, or third-party product. We make no representations about the quality, amenities, or features of any service or product on our platform.
6. Prices Subject to Change
All prices are subject to availability and may change without notice. Prices are only guaranteed once your booking is fully paid. Factors such as currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes, and airfare increases may affect pricing.
We strive to ensure pricing accuracy; however, as an agent, we rely on information from suppliers. If a price change occurs before your booking is finalized, we will inform you. Note that some suppliers may adjust prices due to airfare, accommodation, or currency fluctuations after booking.
