WHEREAS, Lux Grand Travels is organized and operated in the State of California, providing customized travel planning services for leisure travel, acting solely as an intermediary between clients and third-party suppliers;
WHEREAS, the Website serves primarily as an informational resource, offering consultation booking functionality and access to travel-related content, but does not facilitate direct online purchase or booking of travel services, which are governed separately under the Company's Booking Terms and Conditions;
WHEREAS, the Company is committed to ensuring that all users understand and comply with the rules, limitations, and disclaimers applicable to the use of the Website, including restrictions on certain information technologies, intellectual property rights, third-party link disclaimers, limitations of liability, prohibition of class actions, use of California law and dispute resolution by binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California;
AND WHEREAS, these Website Terms of Use are intended to govern the relationship between the Company and Website users, in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including those of the State of California;
NOW, THEREFORE, the following Website Terms of Use apply to all access and use of the Website; they remain in effect as long as the Website is publicly accessible, and may be amended or terminated at the sole discretion of the Company as detailed herein.
1. Introduction And Acceptance Of Terms
By accessing or using the Website, the User agrees to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use, which are effective as of August 29, 2025. These Terms constitute a legal agreement between the User and the Company, governing the User's access to and use of the Website. If the User does not agree with any part of these Terms, they must not use the Website. The Company reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Website following any changes signifies acceptance of the updated Terms. These Terms apply exclusively to the use of the Website and do not govern the actual travel bookings, which are subject to separate booking terms and conditions outlined by the Company.
2. Scope Of Website Use
This section outlines the specific activities and interactions on the Lux Grand Travels Website that are governed by these Terms of Use. Primarily, these Terms apply to all visits, navigation, and utilization of the Website’s informational content and features, including the consultation scheduling tool which allows users to book Zoom consultation calls. Users acknowledge that the Website is not designed for the booking or payment of travel services. Should online booking functionality be introduced in the future, any transactions completed through such features will be subject to Lux Grand Travels’ Booking Terms and Conditions and the relevant supplier’s terms. It is expressly acknowledged that use of the Website, including clicking the 'Book Now' button, does not constitute the formation of a travel services contract; such contracts are only formed once bookings are confirmed through a supplier and governed by separate booking terms.
3. Informational Purpose Only; No Formation Of Contract For Travel Services
The information presented on the Website is provided solely for informational purposes and does not constitute an offer or agreement to create any contractual relationship for travel services between users and Lux Grand Travels. The 'Book Now' feature available on the Website is intended exclusively for scheduling consultation calls and does not facilitate direct booking or purchase of any travel services. All travel service agreements are governed separately by the Company's Booking Terms and Conditions, which come into effect only after a booking is confirmed through a third-party supplier. Consequently, users are advised that no contract for travel services will be formed through interactions or functionalities available on the Website.
