Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: 25th February 2025 | Effective Date: 01st March 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Bulatrips.com ("Bulatrips," "we," "our," or "us").  We're delighted to be your trusted travel partner, connecting you with exceptional travel experiences worldwide.  These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our website, mobile applications (if available), and services (collectively, the "Services").  By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms.


2. Definitions

Throughout these Terms and Conditions, unless the context requires otherwise:

"Account" means your registered account with Bulatrips.  "Booking" refers to any travel reservation made through our Services.  "Content" includes all information, text, images, data, links, software, or other materials accessible through our Services.  "User," "you," or "your" refers to any person accessing or using our Services.  "Website" means Bulatrips.com and all associated web pages.


3. Acceptance of Terms

By using our Services, you confirm that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not barred from receiving our Services under applicable laws.  If you are using our Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms.  Your access to and use of our Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy.


4. Our Services

4.1 Service Description

Bulatrips operates as a travel technology platform, facilitating the connection between travellers and travel service providers.  We provide comprehensive travel services, comparison, and booking capabilities, along with related travel services designed to enhance your journey planning experience.  As your travel partner, we strive to deliver accurate, real-time information and seamless booking functionality.

4.2 Platform Functionality

Our platform enables you to search, compare, and book travel services from various service providers globally.  Our search results are displayed based on factors including, but not limited to, your search parameters, current availability, and real-time booking conditions.  Results may be ordered based on relevance to your search, including factors such as total pricing, journey duration, destinations, travel sectors, and other applicable criteria.  While we make every effort to display accurate, real-time information about travel services, prices, and availability, we rely on information from third-party providers.  As both prices and availability are dynamic and controlled by service providers, the information displayed may change between your initial search and booking completion.  Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of all displayed information, and final pricing and availability are only confirmed once your payment is processed and the booking is confirmed by the service provider.  


Our platform may utilize automated systems and artificial intelligence technology to process searches, display results, and optimize pricing.  While these systems enhance our service delivery, all displayed information and automated decisions are provided on an 'as-is' basis and may be subject to real-time adjustments by service providers.  Our search results represent available options at the time of search but may not be exhaustive of all possibilities.  While we strive to display comprehensive results, we do not guarantee that all service providers or available options are shown.  Search results and pricing are time-sensitive and subject to change until booking confirmation and payment.

4.3 Booking Process

When you make a booking through our platform, you authorize us to act as your agent in procuring travel services from relevant providers.  We will facilitate your booking and handle payment processing, but the actual travel services are provided by the respective service providers.  Each booking is subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant service provider.

4.4 Website Use and Restrictions

When using our Services, you agree to access and use them only as intended and in accordance with these terms. Specifically, you agree not to:

  • Use any automated systems, software, bots, or scraping tools to access our Services or extract data 

  • Make speculative, fraudulent, or false bookings

  • Attempt to circumvent our platform's technical limitations or security measures

  • Modify, decompile, or reverse engineer any part of our Services

  • Engage in systematic data collection or extraction

  • Use our platform in any way that could damage or overburden our systems

  • Share, reproduce, or commercially exploit our content without authorization

  • Engage in prohibited booking practices such as back-to-back ticketing or hidden-city ticketing which violate service provider policies

We reserve the right to deny access to our Services if we detect any unauthorized or prohibited activities.


5. User Accounts and Security

5.1 Account Creation

Creating a Bulatrips account provides you with personalized features and enhanced booking capabilities and management.  When establishing an account, you must provide accurate, current, and complete information.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

5.2 Account Security

We implement robust security measures to protect your account, but we rely on you to take reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized access.  You must promptly notify us of any suspected unauthorized use of your account or other security breaches.  We reserve the right to disable any user account for security reasons or violation of these terms.


6. Booking and Payment Terms

6.1 Pricing and Fare Display

All prices displayed on our platform include base fares plus applicable taxes and fees as required by law.  Additional service fees, baggage charges, or other optional extras may apply and will be clearly disclosed before booking completion.  Prices are dynamic and subject to change until payments are confirmed and tickets are issued.  We display total fares, including applicable taxes and fees, prior to booking confirmation, though final pricing remains subject to real-time availability and may vary until payment is completed and the booking is confirmed.

6.2 Payment Processing

We accept various secure payment methods and process all transactions through encrypted, PCI-compliant systems.  For your security, all payment card information is handled and stored exclusively by our authorized Internet Payment Gateway provider, and Bulatrips does not collect, store, or maintain any payment card information within our systems at any time.  To protect against sophisticated fraud and technological threats, our system requires fresh entry of payment card details for each booking, eliminating any risk of stored payment information being compromised and enhancing security against unauthorized access.  Payment must be completed at the time of booking to secure your reservation.  By providing payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method and agree to pay the total amount specified, including any applicable fees and charges.

6.3 Currency and Exchange Rates

When available on our platform, currency conversion features are provided for guidance only, and such conversions are not real-time.  Prices may be displayed in various currencies for your convenience.  However, the final charge will be processed in the specified transaction currency.  Exchange rates are determined by our banking partners and may fluctuate.  We are not responsible for any additional charges imposed by your payment providers.


7. Changes and Cancellations

7.1 Modification of Bookings

Changes to confirmed bookings are subject to the policies of the relevant airline or service provider.  Our platform provides a "Manage Booking" section where users can modify their bookings or submit requests directly.  Users can access this section either through logging into their account on our website or via the “Manage Booking” link provided in their booking confirmation email together with their unique booking reference number.  The system is designed to be self-service, and modifications must be made by following the prompts and procedures provided.  Additional fees may apply based on the airline's policies, and the availability of changes cannot be guaranteed.  We recommend initiating any modification requests as early as possible through the "Manage Booking" section.

7.2 Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation terms and conditions are strictly governed by your booking type and the respective service provider's policies. Before confirming your booking, you acknowledge and accept that:

(a) Each booking carries specific cancellation conditions that may result in the booking being:

  • Non-refundable

  • Partially refundable with cancellation penalties

  • Subject to administrative and service provider fees

  • Restricted by specific cancellation timelines

(b) It is your responsibility to:

  • Review all cancellation terms displayed during the booking process

  • Understand that these terms are set by the service provider, not Bulatrips

  • Accept that terms cannot be modified once the booking is confirmed

(c) Refund Processing:

  • Refunds are processed according to the service provider's policies

  • Processing times depend on both service provider and payment processor timelines

  • Refund amounts will be reduced by applicable cancellation fees

  • Currency exchange rates may affect final refunded amounts

Bulatrips facilitates the cancellation process through our platform but cannot override service provider policies or expedite refund processing. We strongly recommend reviewing all booking terms, particularly cancellation policies, before completing payment.

7.3 Schedule Changes and Service Disruptions

Service providers may occasionally modify schedules or experience disruptions. When we receive such notifications from our technology partners, this information will be conveyed to you through our platform's notification system or via email.  The ultimate responsibility for schedule changes and disruptions lies with the service provider, and any resolution will be subject to their policies and applicable regulations.  Please note that processing of such changes may take time as we rely on official communications from multiple parties. 


8. Travel Requirements and Documentation

8.1 Travel Documents

You are responsible for ensuring that you and all passengers in your booking possess valid travel documents, including passports, visas, and any required health certificates.  Travel documents must be valid for the entire duration of travel and meet all requirements of the destinations, including transit points.  We recommend checking official government sources for current entry requirements.

8.2 Health and Travel Insurance

While health and travel insurance is optional, we strongly recommend obtaining comprehensive coverage to protect against unexpected events.  If you choose to purchase these through our platform if available, the coverage will be subject to the insurer's terms and conditions, which will be provided for your review before purchase.
