requirements) and hidden-city ticketing (purchasing tickets including
segments which the purchaser does not intend to use in order to circumvent
an air carrier's pricing structure), is prohibited by many air carriers. The
use of prohibited ticketing practices may result in the air carrier taking
actions including the cancellation of the ticket, denied boarding,
revocation of frequent flier miles and other benefits, additional charges to
the purchaser's credit card, additional charges collected at the airport, or
future invoicing. You are responsible for ensuring that your purchases abide
by the terms or conditions of purchase imposed by any third party with whom
you elect to deal, including terms or condition of purchase set forth in an
air carrier's fare rules or contract of carriage
