validly issued Travel Reward Card (the “TRC”) have been
offered to you, the customer (the terms “you” or
“customer” in this Agreement refer to the individual or
individuals using this Site and/or redeeming validly issued TRCs) by
Frosch Rewards and Incentives, a division of Frosch International
Travel, Inc. (“Frosch”), conditioned on your acceptance

notices contained herein. Your use of this Site and/or the

conditions and notices contained in this Agreement and the practices
stated in this Site’s Privacy Policy
incorporated herein by reference.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SITE AND THE TRAVEL REWARD CARD
Card Use The TRC may only be redeemed by you for travel package(s) (“Package(s)”)
set forth on this Site and only for such Packages that are affiliated
with the TRC redeemed by you. The TRC has been prepaid and is the
property of and issued by Frosch. Once the TRC has been registered
on this Site, the TRC shall become inactive and you shall have to use
your username and password as created by you during the registration
and redemption of your TRC.
Tax Liability
Federal and state income tax liability, and any other federal state, or local
taxes applicable to you from the receipt of a TRC are your sole
responsibility. The use of the TRC is void where prohibited by
law. The TRC or any travel related activity procured as a
result of the redemption of a TRC cannot be converted to cash.
Loss, Theft or Fraud
Frosch shall not be responsible for the loss of, theft of, or damage to any
TRC and shall not be responsible for the loss of any travel or TRC as
a result of identity theft or fraud.

The TRC is valid for twelve (12) months and two (2) weeks (the
“Expiration Date”) from the date Frosch or any of its
affiliates issues a TRC. The TRC is subject to this Agreement which
is referenced on the TRC and which by accepting the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, you acknowledge you have read and fully
understand. Any TRC must be redeemed and travel completed by the
Expiration Date.
Limitations
The TRC may not be resold, bartered or otherwise transferred to anyone
else at any time. You warrant that by accepting the TRC, you will
not resell, barter or otherwise transfer the TRC, including
reselling, bartering or transferring it on the Internet. Any breach
by you of this provision of this Agreement shall constitute a
material breach of this Agreement and may result in the immediate
termination of the use of the TRC for any purpose or benefit that may
accompany the TRC. The minimum time required by Frosch to process a
travel package as a result of your redemption of a TRC is at least
thirty (30) business days prior to your departure. Packages may not
be broken up at any time.

cards, other travel reward cards, promotions or special offers,
including, but not limited to: upgrades, government fares,
tour-travel packages, group fares, convention/company meeting fares,
bereavement, companion fares, senior citizen discounts, corporate
agreements, student fares, child fares, travel industry discounts,
Internet fares, frequent flyer programs or any unpublished programs.

conjunction with your TRC for any purpose, including but not limited
to upgrades.
Restrictions
All TRC redemption reservation requests must first be made through this
Site and second, with the assistance of an Agent (as defined
hereinafter under the Section entitled “Use of Frosch Travel
Agent”). The TRC recipient is responsible for all
reservations in accordance with this Agreement. You may not
change the format or included feature components of the TRC at
any time. The TRC is not redeemable for cash, credit, or
reimbursement. Frosch is not responsible if the TRC
and/or travel documents are lost, stolen, or expired, and the TRC
and/or travel documents are void if altered in any way. No photocopy
or reproduction of the TRC may be used in place of any TRC at any
time. The TRC is void if sold for cash or other consideration. The
TRC is only valid for recipients of a TRC residing and flying (if the
Package includes air) from the continental United States. It will be
at the sole discretion of Frosch to expand the use of the TRC to
other countries and/or US states and/or territories. If you have to
amend your travel experience once it has entered the Travel Confirmed
Stage, the minimum charge is fifty dollars ($50) per person plus any
charges in line with the individual hotel, airline, and/or other
travel supplier’s specific policy; however, notwithstanding the
foregoing, changes to names of the individuals traveling through use
of the TRC are never allowed. You will be advised of the exact cost
at the time of the revision. Space is subject to availability.
Please note that, depending on when you make the change/cancellation
and depending on the specific travel supplier used for the various
components of your Package, there may be components of your Package
that are completely NON-REFUNDABLE. Other restrictions may apply.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, changes and/or additions may be purchased at an additional
cost to you through an Agent (as defined hereinafter under the
Section entitled “Use of Frosch Travel Agent”). If you
fail to show up on your reserved date of travel without notification,
it may result in the full forfeiture of your Package, without the
possibility of a refund or replacement Package, and the credit card
you used to obtain your reservation will be charged in accordance
with each vendor’s individual cancellation policy.
Transportation
If a Package includes air transportation, travel will be serviced by
American Airlines or as otherwise stated in the Package. All
transportation is subject to availability and other conditions,
including but not limited to, the availability of certain classes of
service. The classes of service that determine whether space is
available for travel using the TRC is determined by each
participating transportation vendor and is at the sole discretion of
Frosch. All transportation tickets issued in conjunction with a
Package will be subject to the individual carrier’s Conditions
of Carriage and any other rules or regulations of the transportation
vendor and/or federal, state or local government agencies. Frosch
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) change
transportation vendors included in a Package up to the time travel
for the Package is booked and ticketed; (ii) use charter airlines for
any Package; and (iii) substitute ground transportation for air
transportation if you reside within 150 mile radius of the
destination set forth in the Package. No open tickets, open returns,
open jaws, stopovers and circle trips are permitted through use of
the TRC.
Lodging
Hotel nights must be used consecutively. Hotel rooms are assigned by the
hotel at the time of check-in. Requests for specific room types or
locations can be requested through an Agent (as defined hereinafter
under the Section entitled “Use of Frosch Travel Agent”)
at the time of reservation, but are not guaranteed. You will be
responsible for charges incurred of a personal nature at a hotel,
including but not limited to: phone calls, tips, laundry, beverages,
meals, taxi and bus fares, passport and visa fees, etc., unless
otherwise stated. You must guarantee hotel reservations with a valid
credit card, and you may need to present a hotel travel
certificate/voucher at the time of reservation. You must present and
surrender the hotel travel certificate/voucher issued to you at the
time of your check-in to your reserved hotel. The number of
occupants and ages of children allowed per room varies by property
according to local fire code and individual hotel policy.
Other Lodging and Transportation Restrictions
Hotels and car rental companies require a valid credit card at the time of
check-in/pick-up. The amount of the deposit (“Deposit(s)”)
varies depending on the hotel/car rental company, and such Deposit
may be as much as $500 or more. Some hotels and car rental companies
may put holds on your credit card for the amount of your total
expected bill. For car rentals at check-in/pick-up, the driver will
need to present his/her own validly issued state driver's license and
credit card, which should both match the driver's name. You will need
to have an amount equal or greater to the required Deposit(s) in
available funds on your credit card to use as a Deposit at
check-in/pick-up. If you will be presenting a valid check debit card
rather than a valid credit card at the time you retrieve your rental
car, the car rental company will place a hold on your card for the
deposit amount, and these funds will not be available until the car
is returned. Note that many car rental companies will not accept a
debit card as a deposit when the vehicle is picked up, and rental
will be denied. International car rental companies accept credit
cards only and require the traveler to have as much as $1,000 in
available funds on the credit card used by you for the Deposit(s).
