Its function is to arrange services that airlines, hotels, operators, cruise companies and/or any other independent firm provides.
GOTOLATIN TRAVEL S.A. does not control these Businesses, and therefore, cannot be responsible for their acts and omissions. At the same time, it does not assume
responsibility for injury, losses, accidents, damage, delays, inconveniences or any other type of irregularity that may occur from defects of any kind or through any situations of omission,
carelessness or negligence of any Company or person contracted by the same, to fulfill or carry out any tourist service or part thereof presented in this web site, such as resulting from acts
of vandalism, strikes, war, governmental actions, weather conditions, acts of God or any other factors which imply additional expenses caused by delays, itinerary changes or other causes.
GOTOLATIN TRAVEL S.A. reserves the right to accept or reject any reservation request, coming from any traveler, for any tour or tourist program, or to cancel or
change a tour or tour program, if the circumstances so merit. The application for any kind of service requested of our Company shall be understood as a consent to these conditions. Our Company
specializes in providing information for the travelers that choose a country as their travel destination, whether it be for business, education, special interest or simply pleasure. In the
same manner, we are legally authorized to exercise commerce as a Travel and Advertising Agency. In the tourism environment we act as a center for reservations and sales of hotel services,
flights, tours, transportation, cruises, and auto rental.

Methods of Payment
Our Company accepts three different methods of payment from the customer in order to pay off the requested services
- Info-mediation
- Charging the customer's credit card
- Direct deposit from the Customer to the checking account of the Company's bank with posts in Chile or New York, USA.
As Info-Mediator
In this case, we ask the traveler for his/her credit card information as a guarantee of reservation. This does not mean that the card will be charged, rather, the information is transferred
to the company lending the tourist service (accommodations, flight ticket, cruise, tour or car rental) that the customer has selected, as a way of guaranteeing reservation, this being the
final entity that charges the traveler for services rendered.
Credit Card Use
The Credit Card number is essential to process, guarantee or pay for a reservation.
Charging the Customer´s Credit Card or Direct Bank Deposit to the
Checking Account
In the event that the reservation requires a prior payment, the traveler will be notified beforehand and the card holder will be asked to fill out an Application of Charge Authorization,
which must be signed and sent with the purpose of authorizing GOTOLATIN TRAVEL S.A. to carry out the pertinent charge, for the authorized sum.
