Quick Facts — Travel Services Agreement Lawyers

What is Travel Services Agreement Drafting?

A travel services agreement is a legal contract between a client and a travel agency. It outlines rules and responsibilities for the booking of trips and travel. It needs to be clear about what’s expected of both parties and how they can achieve their goals.

Read the rest of this article for information about how to draft a travel services agreement, such as the core components to include in it, and why you should consider hiring a qualified lawyer for help with the process.

What are Key Terms in a Travel Services Agreement?

A travel services agreement usually contains the following information:

  • Services scope. Detail the services provided by the travel agent, such as booking flights and hotels.
  • Payments. Include information about the service fees, payment deadlines, and how refunds apply.
  • Term. Mention the start and end dates of the contract.
  • Termination. If either party wishes to cancel the contract early, state how they can do this.
  • Liability limitations. For clarity, explain which party is responsible if something goes wrong, such as if travel plans are delayed.
  • Confidentiality. The agreement must specify how to protect the client’s information, such as credit card details.
  • Exclusivity. Mention if the travel agency is the only official travel provider for the client.
  • Duty of care. Outline how the travel agency will ensure traveler safety, such as by providing details for how emergencies are handled.
  • Dispute resolution. Mention a dispute-resolution method for resolving conflict between parties, such as arbitration or mediation.

How Do You Draft a Travel Services Agreement?

You want to be accurate and clear when outlining terms in your travel service agreement to prevent disputes. Here are some things to consider when drafting the contract.

Define the Services Scope

Explain the payment deadlines and amounts required so there’s no ambiguity. You also must clarify how deposits and any third-party supplier payments will be handled.

Clarify Liability

To protect the travel agency’s interests, you should mention that they’re not fully responsible for third-party suppliers’ underperformance or any forces outside of their control, such as dangerous weather.

Explain the Client’s Responsibilities

It’s important to specify what the client needs to do, such as get vaccinations if required, take out travel insurance coverage, comply with local laws, and provide the travel agency with accurate traveller information. This prevents issues during the parties’ working relationship.

Include Safety Provisions

To protect the client and ensure a supportive relationship between parties, the travel services agreement should describe all health and safety provisions. This can include emergency procedures and activity-related risks. You can list the client’s travel manager as the designated emergency contact for travel-related issues.

Should You Hire a Lawyer to Draft a Travel Services Agreement?

If you need to draft a travel services agreement, a lawyer can assist you. This will give you peace of mind that the agreement isn’t lacking any important information which can result in hidden legal or financial risks.

A lawyer can help you during the drafting of your travel services agreement by:

  • Considering the travel agency’s business model. This will help them customize the agreement to the agency’s specific requirements and clients.
  • Clearly defining the services the agency provides. They’ll accurately describe what services are included and excluded so there’s no confusion.
  • Structuring payment terms so that there’s no ambiguity regarding when payments are due, what deposits and fees must be paid, and how refunds work.
  • Writing cancellation provisions. A lawyer establishes the rights to cancel and what consequences occur after cancellations, such as refunds or penalties.
  • Allocating responsibility between parties. This includes considering and defining third-party duties.
  • Addressing liability concerns. This can include adding clauses such as indemnities, disclaimers, and liability limitations to the agreement.
  • Ensuring that all terms are legally compliant. This can be challenging to do if you don’t have a legal background. A lawyer will check all agreement terms against applicable laws and regulations.
  • Reviewing the agreement for you. If you’ve drafted a travel services agreement, let a lawyer review it so that you feel confident all its terms are clear, specific, and legally valid.

"It is not easy to find a lawyer that knows Offshore Asset Protection Trusts, which own a foreign LLC, which owns a USA LLC. Fines could reach $100K if the tax forms are incorrect, or not filed. He was able to review my draft returns and provide memos with required changes (many, many changes), after 1 follow-up everything was basically done other than a few tiny edits. I really appreciated how he worked me in, right in the busiest time of tax season, to ensure there were no errors. Would definitely hire again."
