What TripCrafters Does Not Do
TRIPCRAFTERS IS NOT A TRAVEL AGENT. TripCrafters does not endorse or recommend the products or services of any particular Travel Agent. Your interactions with Travel Agents or persons or entities arising out of any dealings from a Travel Agent, this Website or Services ("Other Parties"), including engagement of services, payment and delivery of services, or any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such Travel Agents or Other Parties. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any Travel Agent or Other Party.
TripCrafters does not pre-screen Travel Agents. The Trip Request service relies on statements made by Travel Agents and user feedback and reviews to determine which Travel Agents to include in its database.
