Terms and Conditions

Please read these terms and conditions of use carefully before accessing, using or obtaining any materials, information, products or services. By accessing, the FindOptimal website and mobile or tablet application (collectively “Our Website”), you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept all of these Terms, then you may not use Our Website. In these Terms, “we”, “us”, “our” or “FINDOPTIMAL” refers to FindOptimal, LLC., and “you” or “your” refers to you as the user of Our Website.

THESE TERMS INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT.

We may modify these Terms, for any reason at any time, by posting a new version on Our Website; these changes do not affect rights and obligations that arose prior to such changes. Your continued use of Our Website following the posting of modified Terms will be subject to the Terms in effect at the time of your use. Please review these Terms periodically for changes. If you object to any provision of these Terms or any subsequent modifications to these Terms or become dissatisfied with Our Website in any way, your only recourse is to immediately terminate use of Our Website.

We do not sell Travel Products

Our Website is a travel search engine. FINDOPTIMAL does not provide, own or control any of the travel services and products that you can access through Our Website, such as hotels, flights, or rental cars (the “Travel Products”). The Travel Products are owned, controlled or made available by third parties (the “Travel Providers”) either directly (e.g. hotel operator) or as an agent (e.g. online travel agency). The Travel Providers are responsible for the Travel Products. The Travel Provider’s terms and privacy policies apply to your booking so you must agree to, and understand those terms. Further, the terms of the actual travel provider (hotel operator, airline, car rental company, etc.) apply to your travel, so you must also agree to and understand those terms. Your interaction with any Travel Provider accessed through Our Website is at your own risk and FINDOPTIMAL does not have any responsibility should anything go wrong with your booking or during your travel.

The display on Our Website of a Travel Product or Travel Provider does not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute a recommendation by FINDOPTIMAL of that Travel Product or Travel Provider.

FINDOPTIMAL hosts content, including prices, made available by or obtained from Travel Providers. FINDOPTIMAL is in no way responsible for the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of such content. Since FINDOPTIMAL has no control over the Travel Products and does not verify the content uploaded by the Travel Providers, it is not possible for us to guarantee the prices displayed on Our Website. Prices change constantly and additional charges (e.g. payment fees, services charges, checked-in luggage fees, local taxes and fees) may apply, so you should always check whether the price asked for a booking is the one you expected. Some Travel Products may also be sold in another currency than the one preset or chosen by you for the display of the search results. Our currency conversion is for information purposes only and should not be relied upon as accurate and real time; actual rates may vary and your payment provider (e.g. your credit card company) may charge conversion fees and apply another date’s currency rate.

Booking through FINDOPTIMAL

If you make a booking through Our Website for Travel Products, that booking is made with the Travel Provider named on the booking page and Our Website only acts as a user interface. Accordingly FINDOPTIMAL has no responsibility for the booking or the Travel Product because FINDOPTIMAL has no involvement in creating the description of the Travel Product, in defining the price and any fees, and in providing the Travel Products that you book. If you have any issues or disputes around your booking and/or the Travel Product, you agree to address and resolve these with the Travel Provider and not with us.
