Some of the services that you reserve and purchase through Southern Travel Int. are being provided to you directly by the supplier of those services ("Supplier") and not by Southern Travel Int. A Supplier is an airline, hotel, car rental company, or other provider of services of a particular STI’s item or component. In addition to the Terms and Conditions contained in the Agreement, your purchases and reservations are also governed by the terms and conditions of the respective Suppliers. Any claims that you may have with regard to the goods and services purchased or reserved through our Agency will be addressed to the Supplier.

Payment in full is required to receive a confirmation. American Express, MasterCard, Discover, Diners Club, Visa or Check payments are accepted. The credit card selected for payment will be charged for the total price of the reservation. If payment is withdrawn through credit card chargeback, the Operator shall be entitled to recover reasonable collection fees, attorney fees, and any other costs associated with recovering the full package price. Such fees commonly add a minimum of 30% to the payment amount due on the booking. If payment is withdrawn prior to travel for any reason, the Operator has the right to cancel the trip. The address requested is the billing address of the credit card that must be issued to a U.S. or Canadian billing/mailing address and issued by a U.S. or Canadian based bank. The cardholder must be a traveler listed on the reservation. To provide confirmation of authorized card use, you may be required by the supplier to present a credit card at time of check-in, rental or pick up.
