Our site provides links to other sites. When you click on one of these links, you are leaving our site and entering another site that we do not control and for which we cannot be responsible.

If we remove your Personal Information you will not be able to use our services available unless you re-register.

Similarly, we will remove all of your travel records within seven (7) months after receiving a request to do so.

This seven (7) month period is necessary to ensure that travel arrangements made through our site are properly accounted for as well as allowing for the redundancy of our CD-ROM data back-up system.
