Scope and nature of our Service

Through the Platform, we (travcal.com and its affiliate partners) provide an online platform through which travel specialists – in their professional conduct of business (i.e. B2B) – can advertise, market, sell, promote and/or offer (as applicable) their products and service for order, purchase, reservation, hire, and through which relevant users of the platform can discover, search, compare, and make an order or reservation, by using or utilizing the platform. (e.g. by making a Reservation through the platform), you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the SP with which you make a reservation or book a product or service (as applicable). From the point at which you make your reservation, we act solely as an intermediary between you and the SP, transmitting the relevant details of your request through the respective local DMC to the relevant SP(s) who will then liaison back to the travel agent via the DMC on the platform. (Liaising from top to bottom or vis-à-vis works through a funnel formation enabling the smooth transitional flow travcal is known for) When on the platform, the information that we disclose is based on the information provided to us by the users. As such, the users that market and promote on the platform are given access to our systems and extranet through which they are fully responsible for updating all rates/fees/prices, availability, policies & conditions and other relevant information which is displayed on our Platform. Although we cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of our platform or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information. Each SP remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the (descriptive) information (including the rates/fees/prices, policies & conditions and availability) displayed on our platform. Our platform does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification or (star) rating of any SP (or its facilities, venue, vehicles, (main or ancillary) products or services) made available. Our Service is made available for commercial use only. Therefore, you are not allowed to re-sell, deep-link, use, copy, monitor (e.g. spider, scrape), display, download or reproduce any content or information, software, reservations, tickets, products or services available on our platform for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose. Travcal Global (Pvt) Ltd will have access to and occasionally may use the information on the platform for statistical data collection for the improvement and added benefits that can and may be provided over the course of time.

Pricing Structure

The prices are made available on the platform by the SP(s) as per the respective DMC or market in question. (e.g.: British / Australian / Far East etc) These prices in turn with the respective mark-ups are made visible across the globe to registered (on travcal) Travel Agents who sell Sri Lanka. Travcal Global (Pvt) Ltd will not take any responsibility for any prices that appear on the system as portrayed by the Travel Agent, SP(s) or local DMC(s) since travcal.com is simply a facilitator and not a moderator of the information displayed by registered users. The currency converter is for information purposes only and should not be relied upon as accurate and real time; actual rates may vary. The system price regulator works on the manual input of the respective local DMC.
