Privacy Policy

No unlawful or prohibited use

As a condition for use of this Website, you agree that you will not use this Website for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of Use.

Hyperlinks to third-party sites

This Website may contain hyperlinks to other websites operated by parties other than Kohano. Kohano does not control such Websites and is not responsible for their contents or your use of them. Kohano’s inclusion of hyperlinks to such websites does not imply any guarantee or endorsement of these websites or any association with their operators.

Software available on this web site

Any software that is made available to download from this Website (“Software”) or through any mobile application store, including the Kohano mobile application (the “Mobile Application”) is the work of the Kohano and/or Third Party Suppliers. Your use of such Software is governed by the terms of the end user license agreement, if any, which accompanies, or is included with, the Software (“License Agreement”). You may not install or use any Software that is accompanied by or includes a License Agreement unless you agree to the License Agreement terms. For Software made available for download which is not accompanied by a License Agreement, we hereby grant to users a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download, install and use the Software and/or Mobile Application for viewing and otherwise using this Website and/or accessing content and information available within the Mobile Application. This includes, without limitation, price and availability of travel services, in accordance with these Terms of Use and for no other purpose.

Any reproduction or redistribution of the Software is prohibited and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties. Violation will lead to prosecution to the maximum extent possible.

You are responsible for all sums your service provider may charge you arising out of the Mobile Application transmitting and receiving data including, but not limited, to data roaming charges. As further described in our Privacy Policy, the Mobile Application may automatically transfer a small amount of data as part of its normal operation, including how you use the Mobile Application, which content is accessed and technical errors which the Mobile Application may encounter whilst being used. By using the Mobile Application, you acknowledge, agree and consent to the automatic collection of this information.

Currency Conversion

Currency rates are based on various publicly available sources and should be used as guidelines only. Rates are not verified as accurate and actual rates may vary. Currency quotes are updated frequently. The information supplied by this function is believed to be accurate, but Kohano and/or our respective suppliers cannot guarantee such accuracy. When using this information, we advise you to check publically published currency conversion rates. This information is for your personal use only and you are expressly prohibited from the resale, redistribution and use of this information for commercial purposes.

Bank and Credit Card Fees

Some banks and credit cards impose fees for international transactions. Your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure to the figure shown on the billing summary page for a reservation booked. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be charged by the bank that issues your payment card. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the bank or card company as Kohano may pass on your payment to an international supplier. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your bank on the day that they process the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your credit card provider or bank.
