Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

1.1 This website is operated by ViaResort, Inc (USA) & Galactic Media Services Pty Ltd ACN 125728627 Trading as ViaResorts. References to “us,” “we,” and/or “our” in these booking terms and conditions shall mean ViaResorts.

1.2 These terms and conditions apply to purchases you make with us (via the website and directly with advertisers).

1.3 ViaResorts advertises vacation deals for selected resorts. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of advertisements, we make no warranties regarding the products, services, or offers promoted beyond the descriptions provided by the advertisers. You are responsible for reviewing the advertisers’ terms, descriptions, and conditions before making a purchase.

2. Service Fees

2.1 ViaResorts charges a service fee for providing a booking desk service. The amounts advertised represent the service fee for processing bookings at the advertised resort. Any additional payments are to be made directly to the resort or hotel as advertised (including upgrades or other services negotiated with the advertising resort).

2.2 The service provided is a holding deposit for the advertised property as a “fee for service” for processing a booking within the resort or hotel reservation system. ViaResorts will issue an electronic confirmation voucher for each service, which must be presented to the advertised property to complete the final reservation and any outstanding payments.

2.3 The terms of service, including booking periods and length of stay, are dictated by the advertised property and communicated in the electronic confirmation voucher.

2.4 The voucher serves as a deposit for the advertised stay and entitles the holder to accommodation per the terms and conditions of the resort. Redemption is subject to availability at the time of booking.

2.5 Vouchers must be redeemed within the advertised travel period. If not redeemed within this period, they shall be considered canceled unless extended at the discretion of the resort.

2.6 While the service fee is non-refundable as it pertains to services rendered, ViaResorts may, at its sole discretion, offer a credit for future use.

2.7 ViaResorts reserves the right to waive fees at its discretion.

4.7 NOTE: Promotional Offers registered in the system attract a minimum $100 cancellation fee to offset the costs of issue, handling, bank, and interchange processing fees. Promotional offers are defined as discounted or subsidized room rates/vacations made available to eligible guests by advertisers on the platform. This cancellation fee is set by the advertiser/promoter.

4.8 In cases beyond the guest’s or property’s control (e.g., natural disasters, pandemics, or border closures), credits for future use or rescheduling will be provided at no cost. Adequate travel insurance is recommended.

4.9 Refunds are not available for deposits older than six months; however, a credit may be applied.
