Definition of confidential information. The agency may use the Alaskan name for internal communication with its employees. Any other use of the Alaska name or logo must be approved in writing by Alaska. Even if the host agency belongs to your best friend, you want to make sure that there is a contract between your agency and the host agency (do you want to know who all these host agencies are? Look no further.) To protect your company`s autonomy, make sure the contract wording recognizes you (or your agency) as an independent contractor. If you are considered an employee in the eyes of the IRS, there may be problems for you on the road. Not all independent travel agency contracts are created equal. Like any business, hospitality agencies vary in size and amount of resources at their disposal. They may not spend most of their time creating the perfect contract for their integrated circuits. Independent travel agency contracts are not universal (just like hosts!).

If you think your host has defaulted on their commissions, the cost of continuing a dispute (lost time, travel expenses, hiring an out-of-state attorney) may very well exceed the amount of reimbursement you are (may or may not) be granted to you if the jurisdiction is outside the state. Failure to obtain or provide proof of insurance will be deemed the reason for termination of this Agreement at the Company`s discretion. The parties agree not to transfer or sell any part of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the party requesting such action.
In the event that the Company becomes aware of a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement, it has the right to terminate this Travel Agency Agreement in its entirety. It is not uncommon for agents to cooperate with host agencies outside their country of residence. For this reason, it is important to understand what your contract provides in relation to the state responsible for any controversy arising from the treaty. Often, but not always, the state of jurisdiction is where the host is located, because it is the host who drafts the contract. That is, if you have to take legal action against the host agency (or vice versa), the host may have the house advantage. Non-exclusive equitable remedy. Each party acknowledges and agrees that due to the uniqueness of the Confidential Information, there can be no reasonable remedy for any breach of its obligations under this Agreement, that such breach or threat of breach may allow either party or third party to engage in unfair competition with the other party, causing irreparable harm to that party. and therefore, that in the event of a breach or threat of such breach, each party shall be entitled to fair and unjust reasonable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, without the need to prove actual loss, in addition to any remedies that either party may have before an arbitrator prior to arbitration or equity under the arbitration provision of the Travel Agency Ticketing Contract. Any breach of this provision constitutes a material breach of the Travel Agency Ticketing Contract and constitutes immediate termination of the Travel Agency Ticketing Contract at the sole discretion of the non-infringing party. For all trips, we strongly recommend that you take out appropriate travel insurance to cover your travel arrangements.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have valid travel insurance that covers and suits your needs. Travel insurance is a mandatory part of some travel arrangements.

But if you are the exception, not the rule (you rebel, you), the rental price must be clearly indicated in your contract, with a breakdown of equipment (desk, chair, etc.) and services (e.B. internet). According to Anita Pagliasso, President of PATH: “To the extent required by PATH in an IC agreement, there are model contracts published by ASTA with guidelines that contain terms, conditions and commission details that are clearly stated. We have provided PATH members with a copy of the agreement recommended by ASTA.
