5. Accommodation Booking – Travelers.

Travelers who request a booking hereby authorize RAL, in its sole discretion, to obtain a preauthorization of the Traveler’s credit card for the Charged Fees (as defined below) and/or to charge such credit card a nominal amount to verify its validity.

However, RAL reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to charge and collect such listing fees from Lodging Companies. Any changes to these Terms of Use to allow for such listing fees shall be implemented through the amendment process described above

7. Cancellations and Refunds.

If a requested booking is rejected pursuant to Section 4 above, any amounts paid by the Traveler to RAL for the cancelled booking will be refunded to the Traveler and any credit card preauthorization for the cancelled booking will be cancelled. In all other cases, the Charged Fees are non-refundable. If a Traveler cancels an accepted booking (if applicable pursuant to the Lodging Company’s separate agreement, terms or conditions referenced in Section 9 below) or a Lodging Company cancels a booking, refunds shall be governed by the applicable Lodging Company’s refund policy, and the Traveler must be pursue any refund through the applicable Lodging Company pursuant to such policy and not through RAL; provided that in no such event shall the Service Fee be refundable.
