      2. UPDATE AND MODIFICATION OF TERMS OF USE

TruTrip reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy at any time without giving prior notice. Users should carefully read these Terms of Use before accessing the Platform. In all circumstances, the acceptance of these Terms of Use is an essential first step toward access to the Services and content available on the Platform. The most current Terms of Use will be available at all times on the Platform.

      3. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1. 1. TruTrip is a travel agent duly registered in Singapore, Licence No. TA03340, and has created this Platform to allow organisations of all sizes to save time and money on managing business travel (such organisations that use the Platform referred to as the “Organisation“). The system created by TruTrip operates as follows:
      1. Travel policy management. By signing up with us, Organisations have the option to provide information about their travel policies regarding their Users’ and/or Travellers’ travel spend (the “Travel Policies“). While TruTrip will implement commercially reasonable measures to encourage an Organisation’s Users and Travellers to comply with the Organisation’s Travel Policies, TruTrip cannot guarantee such compliance. If any Supplier charges TruTrip for any additional services not previously charged on the Platform, TruTrip reserves the right to charge the Organisation accordingly.
      2. Search & Booking. When a User searches for a trip, our system displays available results and highlights the options which are out of the relevant Travel Policies. Such User can be the Organisation’s employee, travel manager or other representative of the Organisation. A User may place a Booking for himself, or on behalf of another employee within the Organisation. In these Terms of Use, the employee undertaking the travel is referred to as the “Traveller“, and may or may not be the same person as the User.

         1. The Platform allows the User to book the selected travel itinerary and pay for it according to the methods of payment available on the Platform.

         2. A “Booking“ refers to the booking of a ticket or other services listed at Annex 3 (as the case may be) booked by the User through the Platform. TruTrip will liaise with the relevant service providers (all service providers listed on the Platform referred to as “Suppliers“) to secure the Booking on behalf of the Traveller upon the User’s confirmation of the Booking. Each Booking will be assigned a unique Booking number upon confirmation of the Booking.
      3. Servicing. In case of cancellation, modification or no-show of the Booking, TruTrip will refund to the User and/or the Organisation (as the case may be) the corresponding Booking amounts less any costs for processing payment on the Platform and any costs applied by the Supplier for such cancellation, modification or no-show (provided that said Supplier expressly allows and actually reimburses such amount to TruTrip). In this regard, TruTrip may, at its sole discretion, credit the corresponding amount to the account of the User and/or the Organisation (as the case may be).
      4. Managing and Reporting. We shall provide data and reports to the Company for compliance, pricing and insight purposes. Users give TruTrip full rights to use the data at a user identifiable level. Furthermore, with some integrations, the Platform can automatically send confirmation e-mails of the travel expenses assumed personally by the Organisation’s employees, to the Organisation’s 3rd party providers (e.g., Expensify). This feature will facilitate the reimbursement process and the Organisation’s control over travel costs.
   2. By using this Platform to make Bookings and/or purchase Services, the Organisation, User and Traveller authorise TruTrip to act as their agent during the booking and purchasing process with the corresponding Suppliers, as well as for the payment of the products or services, to the extent as necessary, in order to ensure that the transaction between the Organisation, User and/or Traveller and the Suppliers, is performed correctly.

      4. RESPONSIBILITIES

1. 1. TruTrip will not be responsible for any damages that may result from interferences, omissions, interruptions, computer viruses, breakdowns and/or disconnections in the operational functioning of the electronic system or User’s devices due to causes beyond TruTrip’s control, which prevent or delay the use of the Platform, nor for any delays or obstructions in the use caused by deficiencies or overloading of the Internet or other electronic systems, nor for the impossibility to provide the service or allow the access for causes beyond TruTrip’s control and due to the Users’, third parties, failures in our partner’s and suppliers’ computer systems or force majeure issues.

   5. Users will be responsible for the Platform use and for any direct or indirect effect arising from the Platform, including but not limited to all economic, technical and/or legal results as well as the non-fulfilment of the expectations generated by the Platform, and they are hereby bound to indemnify TruTrip for any claims arising, directly or indirectly, from said facts.
   6. To the extent permitted by law, neither TruTrip nor any of our officers, directors, employees, representatives or others involved in creating, sponsoring, promoting, or otherwise making available the Platform and its contents shall be liable for (a) any punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damages, any loss of production, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of contract, loss of or damage to goodwill or reputation, loss of claim; (b) any inaccuracy relating to the information (including rates, availability and ratings) of the Suppliers as made available on our platform; (c) the services rendered or the products offered by the Suppliers or other business partners; (d) any (direct, indirect, consequential or punitive) damages, losses or costs suffered, incurred or paid by you, pursuant to, arising out of or in connection with the use, inability to use or delay of our Platform; or (e) any personal injury, death, property damage, or other direct, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages, losses or costs suffered, incurred or paid by you, whether due to acts, errors, breaches, negligence, wilful misconduct, omissions, non-performance, misrepresentations, tort or strict liability by or wholly or partly attributable to the Supplier or any of our other business partners (including any of their employees, directors, officers, agents, representatives or affiliated companies) whose products or service are (directly or indirectly) made available, offered or promoted on or through the Platform, including, but not limited to, any full or partial cancellation, overbooking, delay, damaged or lost baggage, strike, force majeure or any other event beyond our control.
   7. For the avoidance of doubt, TruTrip shall only be liable for wilful intent or gross negligence by its authorised representatives to the extent that such liability is imposed under applicable law. Notwithstanding the above, the liability of TruTrip outlined in this paragraph is limited to pecuniary losses or damage to property suffered by the User or Traveller.
   8. TruTrip is only responsible for passing on the Traveller’s relevant information to the Supplier for the Supplier’s fulfilment of a Booking or provision of the Services.
   9. Once the Booking is made, all terms and conditions and other contractual terms of the respective Supplier shall apply as between the Supplier and the User and/or the Traveller. TruTrip will not be liable for any breach, default or deficiency during the provision of services by the Supplier. TruTrip is not responsible and has no liability to you in respect of any Bookings regardless of any unforeseen circumstances including but not limited to delays, cancellation, force majeure, strike, overbooking. All terms and conditions and other contractual terms of the Supplier between the Supplier and the User and/or the Traveller shall apply in addition to and shall prevail over these Terms of Use. Without limitation to any other term in these Terms of Use, in the event that the relationship between the User and/or Traveller and the Supplier leads to a default or other breaches of the present Terms of Use, TruTrip shall not be liable.
   10. Additionally, the User and Traveller shall jointly and severally hold TruTrip harmless at all times of any claim and/or any damages caused by any Traveller to a third party during the travel, and shall assume all liabilities, damages and/or injuries and/or obligations derived from or caused by the breach of any terms and conditions of the Supplier by any Traveller.

      5. OBLIGATIONS OF USERS

   2. The User and/or the Organisation agrees to pay to TruTrip for all Bookings made by the User on the Platform.

Under these circumstances, TruTrip will attempt to contact the User and/or the Organisation using the e-mail address provided during the booking process, or through the User and/or Organisation’s bank (as the case may be).
