All products and services provided by the Suppliers are subject to the terms and conditions established by the Suppliers and may be changed without notice at any time.

CAA Travel shall not be held responsible for the accuracy of the information supplied by the Suppliers.

• Insufficient or unacceptable passport, visa and other travel documentation;

• Weather, fires, quarantines or other public health advisories, or other natural or national disasters;
• Strikes, lock-outs or bankruptcies relating to or disrupting the product or service delivery of any Supplier;
