It is advisable that the passenger acquires adequate insurance coverage to secure their life, health, and property. Additionally, for Your protection, Mondee encourages the purchase of trip cancellation and travel accident protection. No representation or description of the protection made by Mondee to You constitutes a binding assurance or promise about the protection. Mondee is not an insurance company and has no responsibility for the submission, payment or adjustment of any insurance claims. Any claims that may fall under the relevant travel protection policy must be submitted to the third-party insurance company identified in the policy. You can purchase trip cancellation and travel accident protection through the Services.

All online payments that happen for any of the offerings booked via the Services are secured by third-party payment systems. Mondee does not store the credit card details of any customer in Our database or in any data backup system or retrieval systems. Once You are ready to transact You are transferred to the third-party payment system portal. The card details are captured on the third party payment processor’s portal and not Our Services hence We cannot be held responsible for any misuse of credit card whatsoever. If Mondee incurs any costs, including attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by a credit card company, You that You will be liable for these costs. If the credit card is declined, You guarantee that You will settle any amounts owing to Mondee immediately.
Mondee charges $35.00 per airline ticket for exchanges (outside of 24 hours from the time of booking); this is in addition to the airlines’ exchange fees (the airline rules will be quoted to the You before initiating an exchange). Mondee will void a ticket canceled within 24 hours from time of booking, but will retain the original ticketing fee. Any amendment or any changes to a reservation (date change, rerouting) constitutes a cancellation. If, after a booking has been confirmed, You wish to cancel or change Your booking, Mondee will make a commercially reasonable effort to satisfy Your request provided written notice is received by Mondee. A cancellation will take effect from the date that the written notice is received by Mondee. The applicable Travel Service Provider’s policy will apply with regard to refunds and cancellations of bookings and reservations. Carefully read such policies prior to booking or making any reservations. In all cases, where Your booking involves a special fee or charges levied by an airline, hotel operator or any other Travel Services Provider, the You will be responsible for all cancellation charges levied by the airline, hotel operator or any other Travel Service Providers. Cancellations incur charges imposed by the airline or tour operator which can be up to 100% of the total fare purchased.

Where Mondee incurs any liability for a cancellation fee or charge for any cancelled booking, You agrees to reimburse Mondee for the amount of that fee or charged. Refunds from suppliers will be made only after Mondee has received the money from those sources (supplier rules and restrictions will apply).
