How does the Website Work?

The Website enables anonymous visitors to the Website ("Visitors") to browse the Website, and Visitors who are at least eighteen (18) years of age and not a minor in their state or residence, and who register with us (“Registrants”), to purchase certain of our Services. The terms “you”, "your" and “yours” when used herein refer to either Registrants or Visitors, or to both Registrants and Visitors collectively, as applicable; provided that such terms will refer collectively to both Registrants and Visitors unless the context of this Agreement indicates otherwise. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions which govern your use of the Website and our tour packages and other services offered for sale through the Website or otherwise by us (the “Services”). Your use of the Website is subject to our Terms of Use agreement, which can be found at www.grouprentals.com/terms-of-use.

NOTE: By enrolling to receive automated communications from Group Travels upon registering with us or otherwise, you acknowledge and agree that you will receive solicitations from us and/or third party entities with whom we contract, including without limitation by means of telephone calls or text messages using any automatic telephone dialing system(s), artificial voice(s), pre-recorded call(s), and/or pre-recorded voice(s) (in each case to your mobile, home and/or office phone numbers), email blasts, robocalls and otherwise by postal mail. If a third party violates the law in contacting you, then you agree that this third party, and not us, is the responsible party. You agree and understand that purchase is not a condition of your consent.

You can make general use of the Website without providing any PII to Group Travels. However, you will need to provide us or third parties with certain of your PII in order to use certain of the Website’s functionality, such as purchasing any of the Services or otherwise becoming a Registrant.
