We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept, decline, or limit your order for any reason, whether or not your credit card has been charged. If your credit card has been charged and your order is canceled, you will receive a prompt refund credit to your account.

5. Changes in Products and Pricing
We are constantly updating and revising our offerings of products and services, and we may discontinue products and services at any time without notice. To the extent that we provide information on availability of products or services, you should not rely on such information, and we will not be liable for any lack of availability of products or services that you may order through our site.
All pricing for the products and services available on our site is subject to change. For all of our prices and products, we reserve the right to make adjustments due to changing market conditions, product discontinuation, manufacturer price changes, errors in advertisements and other extenuating circumstances.
In the event the amount you pay for a ticket or voucher is incorrect, regardless of whether such error is due to an error in a price posted on this site or otherwise communicated to you, or due to a human error or a transactional malfunction of this site or other BestOfNewYork.com operating system, then BestOfNewYork.com shall have the right to cancel the particular ticket, voucher or reservation (or the order containing such ticket, voucher or reservation), and refund to you the amount that you paid.
6. Taxes & Fees
a. The following information explains what taxes and fees apply when you purchase your tickets, vouchers, hotel reservations, or other travel arrangements with us, and we hope that you find this explanation helpful. In order to provide one of the most comprehensive listings of offers with the most competitive prices, our "pre-paid" model consists of securing the travel products as inventory from our Providers and then providing this wide array of travel products to you, our customers. We charge your credit card the full amount of the transaction at the time of the reservation, including any taxes and fees. The term "taxes and fees" means, generally, that we collect an amount from you equal to the amount that we expect our Providers to bill us in order to pay any applicable taxes, governmental fees, or any other charges remitted to the applicable state or local government, plus taxes that would apply to the specific nature of your transaction and the services we provide. This means you will be charged sales tax based on the goods or services you are purchasing or based on the reservations booked (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, value added tax, etc.), or a "tax recovery charge." A tax recovery charge is a fee charged to us by our Providers who have an obligation to charge any such applicable taxes, governmental fees, and other charges; and is equal to the estimated amount billed to us by our Providers to reimburse them for the taxes, governmental fees, and other charges paid. Any remaining amount after sales tax and/or the tax recovery charge effectively represents a service fee charged by us. For a detailed breakdown of taxes and fees, you may request one from us at any time.
b. What does all this mean to you? Just keep in mind that when you see the words "taxes" or "fees" on our site, it may mean a tax recovery charge, and the percentage will vary based on multiple variables including the local city, county, or state taxes, fees, and based on the good or service being purchased or reservations booked. As an example, when we purchase tickets and other travel from our Providers, often times we have to pay sales tax or applicable hotel and lodging taxes on the purchase and such taxes are charged to you, the ultimate consumer. Therefore, what we're collecting from you are these taxes specifically or a tax recovery charge that is equal to the amount we expect our travel suppliers to charge us. In most cases this ranges from 6% to 10%. When you purchase a hotel reservation, the combined taxes for hotel reservations may range between 10% and 14%. When we present the breakdown to you, we make our best efforts to list the items of the base sales price and taxes/fees separately for you in a similar manner. The total price of your transaction, for ticket orders, hotel reservations, and vacation packages, will include all amounts payable to us and will be displayed before you make your purchase.
c. Tickets and Travel. Unless otherwise noted, prices shown for travel packages are in United States Dollars for one adult, and if the travel package includes a hotel, based upon double occupancy, unless specified otherwise. Prices are subject to change based upon your choice of travel dates, number of travelers, and your choice of hotels or other items, and may require a minimum nights' stay. For all hotel reservations, ticket orders, or any other transactions, the product information and all other terms and conditions regarding the items in your order, other than those terms and conditions of purchase specific to the particular Provider, will be listed on the site for you to review prior to purchase. You are strongly encouraged to research the particular Provider in your order to determine if there are any terms or conditions unsatisfactory to you. Amounts displayed in the "Taxes and Fees" line for transactions consist of the amount that we expect the relevant hotel/attraction/event/travel supplier or aggregator to bill us for any applicable taxes, tax recovery fees, governmental fees and other charges, as outlined above plus an additional processing service fee that we retain as described below.
d. Hotel Transactions. In order to provide you with the best offers available, we provide and market hotel rooms on the site on a "prepaid" model, where we collect the full amount from you up front and handle the payments to the hotel or hotel supplier. Amounts displayed in the "taxes and fees" line for these hotel transactions consist of the amount that we expect the relevant hotel, hotel aggregator, or source of hotel inventory to bill us for any applicable taxes, tax recovery fees, governmental fees, service fees, and other charges.
e. Additional Information. Information regarding taxes, governmental fees and other charges on any travel-related transactions not discussed above will be calculated and displayed to you prior to check-out. Also, remember that you may incur other charges while traveling that are not payable to us and are not included in the quoted price, such as hotel extra-person or extra-bed charges, resort fees, gratuities, parking fees, telephone fees, room service, movies, mini-bar, or rental car insurance, gasoline, and other incidentals. Such fees, if applicable, shall be charged by the applicable Provider.
f. Shipping Fees. Some ticket transactions require the delivery form of shipping. All packages that require shipping that are over $125 are required to be shipped by UPS to ensure delivery. The shipping fees are standard fees that are delegated to us by our suppliers.
g. Miscellaneous Other Fees. Most transactions are available for electronic ticket delivery and various payment options may be available based on supplier availability. Various service fees and/or restrictions may be applicable. This information will be displayed prior to all purchases and additional delivery options are for your convenience.
7. Refunds and Exchanges Fees
In order to offer the most competitive pricing and product selection, we eliminate excessive service fees by relying on our database to connect directly to most of our Providers. This prohibits us from being able to offer refunds and/or cancellations, and in most instances, tickets or vouchers are non-refundable and non-transferable. Policies set forth by our clients, partners, or Providers, including but not limited to venues and hotels, generally prohibit BestOfNewYork.com from issuing exchanges or refunds after a ticket has been purchased or for any lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets. AS SUCH, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES AFTER AN ORDER HAS BEEN PLACED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXCEPTING THOSE ORDERS FOR TICKETS TO A SHOW OR EVENT WITH SPECIFIC TIME AND DATE, IF ANY SUCH SHOW OR EVENT IS CANCELLED. Before purchasing tickets or vouchers, carefully review your event and seat selection, or other pertinent information to your purchase, as may be applicable. Changes, cancellations and refunds, if permitted for the transaction, and only in exceptional circumstances and in BestOfNewYork.com's sole and absolute discretion, may carry a fee of 10% of your total order price for ticket orders. Hotel cancellations or changes can be made at anytime for FREE outside of 48 hours before your Arrival Date; however any changes for different dates will be based on availability and prices may change based on available inventory at the time of the change request. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the arrival date will incur a minimum of one night room and tax, plus any fees charged by the specific hotel. Unused rooms and no-shows are non-refundable. Arrivals made on the check-in date are considered no-shows if you arrive after 11:59pm per local time at the hotel you booked. Please note that these fees may vary by product, carrier and specific rules and may not be applicable. Additionally, we may occasionally offer products at a discount after the original on-sale date and will not refund the difference between the original price and the sale price.
You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets or vouchers you purchased, or reservations booked. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not contact BestOfNewYork.com to seek a refund or exchange from BestOfNewYork.com when BestOfNewYork.com is prohibited from providing one by its clients, vendors, or Providers, and that you will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets or vouchers from this site. Should you do so, your tickets, vouchers or reservations may be cancelled or inactivated, and BestOfNewYork.com may, in its sole and absolute discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket, voucher or hotel reservation purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all users in whose name the credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using the site.
If, for any circumstances, a ticket, voucher or reservation is refunded, such refund will be issued using the same method of payment that was used for the purchase. If a credit card was used to make the refunded purchase, then only that credit card will receive the credit for the refund. BestOfNewYork.com will not be liable for travel or other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a cancelled or postponed event.
