These services are provided by independent companies, herein known as service providers/suppliers, over which we have no control. Halcyon Travel Company’s obligation toward the traveler is to make a reservation with the service provider and issue the payment for the service when due prior to the traveler’s arrival. Since we have no control over the service provider, we cannot assume responsibility for any errors, acts, or omissions by the service providers, their employees, nor any other person over which Halcyon Travel Company has no direct or immediate control. We will, however, give assistance in good faith to resolve any such disputes you may have.  In return, you agree that Halcyon Travel Company will have no liability for inconvenience, injury, delay, airline schedule changes or cancellation due to war, riot, terrorist activity, natural disaster, sickness, weather conditions, airport regulations, or other circumstances considered acts of God.
