Any correction to the misspelling of name is subject to change and/or cancellation penalties imposed by the Supplier.

Suppliers retain the right to refuse service obligation if the traveller’s name indicated in the booking fails to match that of which is stated on the traveller’s passport or travel document. Pacific Arena will not be held liable for circumstances due to such errors.

The User may access or book travel related services on our Site. We facilitate bookings with travel suppliers ("Suppliers") such as airlines, General Distribution Systems (GDS), hotels, property owners, cruise lines, rail providers, insurance providers, car rental providers, ground transportation providers, tour operators, online travel agencies, and intermediaries who will fulfil the User’s travel reservations. These Suppliers are independent contractors and not agents or employees of Pacific Arena. We are not responsible and have no liability to the User in respect of such bookings regardless of any unforeseen circumstances including but not limited to delays, cancellation, force majeure, strike, overbooking. Each Supplier may also have different policies regarding cancellation, modification and refunds for bookings and reservation. It is the User’s responsibility to read the full terms and conditions issued by the Supplier, which can be found on the Supplier’s website. The User agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom the User elects to deal with, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the Supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products, or services. We reserve the right to cancel a booking if full payment is not received in a timely fashion.

Some hotels and cruise lines may require the User to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover additional expenses during the User’s stay. Such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by us or payable for the booking made.

6. Fares, Currency Conversion and Fees

Flights purchased on the Site is only confirmed upon successful payment receipt and ticket issuance to the User. Hotels purchased on the Site is only confirmed upon successful payment receipt and voucher issuance to the User. 

Selected prices may be quoted in foreign currencies (i.e. non-Singapore dollar). Our exchange rates are subject to daily currency fluctuations and processing fees. In calculating the amount payable Pacific Arena retains the right to round up nominal amounts for each line item to account for variances in the way we and our Suppliers handle currency conversions. The amount rounded-up will be to the nearest five Singapore cents.

If the Supplier’s terms and conditions allow for amendment or cancellation of a reservation, Pacific Arena reserves the right to charge an administrative fee on top of any existing amendment or cancellation fee charged by the Supplier.

If the Supplier’s terms and conditions allow for refund or travel credit on a cancelled reservation, Pacific Arena reserves the right to charge an administrative fee for facilitating the issuance of the refund or travel credit from the Supplier. Supporting documents are required for submitting an appeal. The appeal process requires a minimum turnaround time of two months from the first date of submission. In the event of a successful appeal, any refund amount will be credited to the original payment mode used for the said booking.

For payments taken at the time of booking, the Merchant of Record will be: (1) Pacific Arena Pte. Ltd., 200 Cantonment Road, #04-05 Southpoint, Singapore 089763, or (2) the Supplier directly.

Many bank and credit card companies charge their account holders a transaction fee when the card issuer and the merchant location (as defined by the card brand e.g. Visa, MasterCard, American Express) are in different countries. The currency exchange rate, if applicable, and any transaction fee are determined solely by the bank or other agency processing the transaction. These fees may be applied by the card issuer as a charge to the cardholders account. This means the amount listed on the User’s credit or debit card statement may be a different figure than the figure shown on the billing summary page for a reservation booked on this Site. Questions relating to such fees or exchange rates applied should be directed to the User’s bank.

8. International Travel

The User is responsible for ensuring that his/her travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order and any other foreign entry requirements are met.
