LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

Unless ixigo explicitly acts as a reseller in certain scenarios, ixigo always acts as a facilitator by connecting the Customer with the respective service providers like airlines, hotels,  bus operators etc. ixigo’s liability is limited to providing the Customer with a confirmed booking as selected by the Customer.

Any issues or concerns faced by the Customer at the time of availing any such services shall be the sole responsibility of the service provider. ixigo will have no liability with respect to the acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches or negligence on part of any service provider.

Unless explicitly committed by ixigo as a part of any product or service:

·   ixigo assumes no liability for the standard of services as provided by the respective service providers.

·   ixigo provides no guarantee with regard to their quality or fitness as represented.

ixigo doesn’t guarantee the availability of any services as listed by a service provider.

By making a booking, Customer understands ixigo merely provides a technology platform for booking of services and products and the ultimate liability rests on the respective service provider and not ixigo. Thus, the ultimate contract of service is between Customer and service provider.
