(b) By accessing and/or using the Site you:
(1) warrant to us that you have reviewed these terms and conditions (Terms) and you have read our Privacy Policy (available on the Site);
(2) warrant to us that you have the legal capacity to enter into a legally binding agreement with us; and
(3) agree to use the Site in accordance with the Terms.
(c) You must not place an order for Services through the Site unless you are at least 18 years old.
(d) These Terms will commence on the date on which you accept these Terms and will continue until the date the Services expire, unless these Terms are terminated earlier in accordance with the Termination clause below (Term).
2 Site and Services
(a) We work with certain airports to provide customers with digital queuing services, skip the line passes and other services as set out on the Site that can be purchased on our Site and redeemed at the relevant airport (Services).
(b) Depending on the Service you purchase, you will be able to access certain airport areas through exclusive queues with the benefit of digital queuing technology.
(c) While our Services make access faster and more efficient, you agree that we do not make any representations, warranties or guaranties as to, and you waive and release us from and against any Liability connected with, you being granted access or how long this will take. You agree that this is because whether you are granted access, and how quick or efficient this is, will depend on many third party inputs that we cannot control (including you, your interaction with, or the conduct of, any third party at the airport, including the airport itself, any security systems and/or any airline).

(b) You agree that we may place a limit on the number of Services you can purchase at once, as set out on the Site.
(c) We may, at our absolute discretion, accept or reject an order (including if we cap the number of Services we sell at a particular time). We will endeavour to notify you of a rejection at the time of the order or within a reasonable time thereafter.
(d) Each order that we accept results in a separate binding agreement between you and us for the supply of Services in accordance with the Terms.
(e) It is your responsibility to check the order details, including selected Services (such as an instant or pre-booked pass), inclusions and pricing, before you submit your order through the Site.
(f) When you order and pay on the Site and your payment has been validated, we will provide you with a QR code to redeem the Services purchased.

(g) The Services that you order will be valid from the time set out on the Site and will continue to be valid for a period of 90 days [WM1] (or as otherwise extended by us).
