These terms and conditions (collectively, hereinafter referred to as the "Terms") govern your ("User") access to and use of the website, www.avrotravels.lk ("Website"). The Website is owned, managed and operated by Avro Travels & Tours (Private) Limited. Please read these Terms carefully before using the Website, which is an online marketplace. For the purpose of clarity, it is hereby stated that the Website is not engaged in providing any services by itself but is a platform, which merely connects the bus operators with the bus travellers.
Access to and use of this website is conditional upon your acceptance of these terms and conditions. Please read the following terms and conditions closely before using our website. If you do not agree with any part of these terms and conditions, you must not use this website.
Any use of the www.avrotravels.lk website, or written communication with Avro Travels & Tours, for the purposes of travel arrangements, confirms that you are aged 18 or over and that you have read and fully accept these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions are devised for the protection of all parties.
AVRO Bus is an online bus ticket aggregator, which merely connects the bus operators with the travellers. In light of the foregoing, AVRO Bus wishes to state the following:
The Website is a marketplace, which merely lists the inventory of bus operators who are registered with the Website, but does not own the services per se. Hence, the limited role of the Website is to connect You with the bus operator and vice versa. You understand and agree that the fare of the bus tickets listed and/or offered for sale by the bus operator on the Website, is solely determined by the respective bus operator, and AVRO Bus, as an aggregator has no control over the fare of the tickets listed on the Website. In the event, the minimum and/or the maximum fare of the tickets, is in contravention of any law and/or any order or judgment of any regulatory authority/Tribunal/Court, it shall be the sole responsibility of the respective bus operator to ensure that such fare is in compliance with the law/order/judgment, and redBus shall in no way be liable for such contravention of the law/order/judgment.
In light of the foregoing, You agree that any liability in relation to any services being offered on the Website in accordance with the applicable laws shall be that of the bus operator and not AVRO Bus. In case of any deficiency of service, You agree to pursue any such action arising from such deficiency of service against the bus operator and not the AVRO Bus.
You further agree and acknowledge that the AVRO Bus is only a facilitator and is not and cannot be a party to or control in any manner any transactions on the Website. Accordingly, the contract of sale of services on the Website shall be a strictly bipartite contract between You and the bus operators listed on the Website.
You further agree and acknowledge that all the 'discounts/coupons (if any)' on the Website/prices at which the tickets are being sold by the bus operator on the Website is merely an “invitation to offer” in accordance with the applicable law and shall not be construed to be an “offer” in accordance with the applicable law. Hence, in light of the foregoing, when you agree to purchase the bus tickets listed on the Website by the bus operator, that would be termed as a 'valid offer' under the applicable law and after doing so it is upon the bus operator to accept the said 'valid offer' or reject the 'valid offer'. In this regard, note that if the bus operator accepts the said 'valid offer', only then would it tantamount to be a 'valid contract' as per the applicable law.

Nature of Overseas TravelHolidays offered by Avro Travels & Tours can range from luxury itineraries to programmes for the more budget-conscious. We will make every effort to ensure that our planning is meticulous. But amenities and infrastructure in Sri Lanka can at times be comparatively underdeveloped. Delays, moments of discomfort and risk can naturally occur in all travel. In the tropics, insects in rooms are common. Tourists booking any of our arrangements implicitly accept this as a fact of life. Clients are advised to take sensible precautions at all time, and before booking a holiday should take steps to familiarize themselves with up-to-date information.
ShoppingAvro Travels & Tours, under no circumstances, recommends or guarantees the value or the quality of any additional product not clearly itemized on the Travel itinerary which may be purchased during an itinerary arranged in part or whole by US, even in the case where the product may have been discussed between a client and an employee or representative of Jetwing Travels.
Determining the value of a product is entirely the client’s responsibility. Jetwing Travels has no duty to intervene in such circumstances and cannot be held responsible for subsequent complaints.
