Terms of Service
Last updated: 11 June 2018
Who are we?
MonsterFlights Limited (hereinafter “MonsterFlights” or “us” or “we” as the context requires) is a private limited company, registered in the UK, Edinburgh. We are a global provider of flight and travel search services, serving millions of users every month with instant online comparisons for millions of flights on over a thousand airlines, as well as car hire and hotels. When our users find a deal they want, we connect them to the relevant airline or travel agent to make a booking direct with that third party. We do not take bookings ourselves or hold any details of bookings or payments.
These Terms
These terms and conditions govern your access to and use of this website and any other ‘MonsterFlights’ branded or controlled website or section of a website (including, without limitation, a MonsterFlights Facebook page or Twitter account) (the “Website“) and any ‘MonsterFlights’ branded applications (the “Apps“), as updated from time to time. Other services or materials operated or provided by MonsterFlights (including, without limitation, the ‘Skytools’ branded widgets) or by third parties (including, without limitation, the “Booking via MonsterFlights” service) may be subject to other terms and conditions, which will be indicated to you prior to use.
These terms and conditions constitute a legal agreement between you and MonsterFlights (the “Agreement“). Please read them carefully before using the Website or Apps. By downloading, accessing or using the Website or Apps in any way, you are confirming that you have read and understood these terms and conditions and have agreed to be bound by them.
MonsterFlights may amend these terms and conditions at any time at its discretion. If these terms and conditions are amended, MonsterFlights shall display the revised terms and conditions on the Website and the Apps. You will be deemed to have accepted any amendments if you continue using the Website or Apps after the amendments are displayed.
If you do not agree to comply with these terms and conditions or any amendments to them, please stop using the Website and Apps immediately.
‘Booking via MonsterFlights’
The ‘Booking via MonsterFlights’ service (the “Booking Service”) allows you to book and pay for certain travel options offered by our participating third party travel partners (“Booking Partners”) and is provided, operated and controlled by the relevant Booking Partner and not by MonsterFlights. Your use of the Booking Service, and the collection, processing and storage of any personal data (including payment details) provided by you pursuant to that service, will be governed by the relevant Booking Partner’s terms of service and privacy policy as notified to you via the Booking Service. You understand and agree that if you encounter any problems with the transaction or with the reservation you book in that transaction, you must resolve your dispute with the Booking Partner and that your sole remedy in such circumstances, including any refund, lies with the Booking Partner and not with MonsterFlights.
