Applicant should contact OSSN to adjust the "Pro Rated Renewal" date of membership to qualify for this TRUE ID Registration. New and Renewing applicants are required to join OSSN as an "Agency" member to qualify for a TRUE ID# . TRUE Application cannot be submitted to IATA until membership updates are finalized. New and Renewing online member applications can be found on page: http://www.ossn.com/join.asp Contact OSSN at 800 771 7327. 2) Applicant agrees to provide proof of Business Bank Account with this application. 3) Applicant agrees to provide proof of Compliance with "Seller of Travel Registration Laws" if you reside in the following states: California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Nevada, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington State. TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. The Applicant agrees to satisfy all application and registration requirements set by TRUE Systems, including membership in good standing in the Outside Sales Support Network (OSSN) or the Association of Retail Travel Agents (ARTA), proof of a business bank account, and proof of compliance with any applicable seller of travel registration law in the Applicant's home state. Membership in OSSN or ARTA may be prorated to coincide with the renewal date for the Applicant's TRUE registration. If the Applicant is not presently a member of OSSN or ARTA, the TRUE registration will not be processed prior to the issuance of a new membership or renewal update. In the event that the TRUE registration holder ceases to be a member of OSSN or ARTA, the assigned TRUE registration number will be cancelled. The Applicant agrees that the name in which the TRUE registration number is issued will be the name under which the business bank account has been established. Applicants must provide proof of compliance with seller of travel registration laws if they reside in the following states: California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Ohio, Nevada, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington State. TRUE Administration reserves the right to request proof of compliance from any applicant at any time to verify that applicant has registered with other states that require registration from out of state sellers. 2. The TRUE registration number is assigned to the Applicant's place of business to facilitate identification by travel suppliers in processing electronic reservations and commission payments. The Applicant understands that any unauthorized use of the TRUE registration number will result in the immediate suspension of his/her number and appropriate notification thereof to travel suppliers recognizing the TRUE registration numbers. The Applicant agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized use of the TRUE registration number by third parties. 3. The Applicant understands that the assignment of a TRUE registration number does not constitute any endorsement by OSSN, ARTA, or the International Airlines Travel Agent Network (IATAN) or any application for IATAN accreditation. The issuance of an IATA number from IATA through the TRUE ID program differs from the full service or Travel Service Intermediary (TSI) IATAN accreditation program. Details on IATAN accreditation can be found in the internet on page www.iatan.org . The Applicant agrees not to represent himself/herself as an IATAN agent or cause any representation that may create the impression of the Applicant's being an IATAN accredited agent. The Applicant agrees not to hold out to the public or the travel industry that he/she is an IATAN agent unless and until the Applicant actually secures full service or Travel Service Intermediary (TSI) IATAN accreditation status. 4. The Applicant understands that a nonrefundable fee is payable upon submission of the new or renewing application. The Applicant agrees that TRUE Systems has the right to reject any application subject to full refund of same year's annual fee. The nonrefundable renewal fee will be billed to the TRUE registration holder on an annual basis. Failure to pay the annual renewal fee by the due date, as well as failure to maintain membership in good standing in OSSN or ARTA, will result in cancellation of the TRUE registration. Renewing TRUE applicants are required to renew their membership with the original trade association (ARTA or OSSN) that they signed up with in order to continue to qualify for the renewing TRUE code. 5. The Applicant agrees to notify TRUE Systems immediately in writing of any changes to the information provided in this application form or in the event that the TRUE registration number is no longer required. In such case, there will be no refund of the fees referred to in section 4 above. If the Applicant subsequently applies for a new TRUE registration number, a new application including the applicable fees will be required. 6. The Applicant understands and agrees that TRUE may compile and register any information provided on this application form, share any such information with IATAN for purposes of securing a unique IATAN identifier number, and communicate any such information to travel suppliers recognizing the TRUE registration numbers. TRUE Systems will exercise all reasonable and due care in processing this application, any notification of cancellation, or any other information provided by the Applicant. However, the Applicant agrees not to hold TRUE Systems, OSSN, and ARTA responsible if the TRUE registration number is incorrectly assigned, reproduced, or cancelled, or if any information provided by the Applicant is incorrectly processed or represented. 7. The Applicant expressly understands and agrees that, upon signing this application form and accepting this TRUE application, these Terms and Conditions shall become effective and binding. 8. Effective July 1st, 2001 a $25 change fee will be imposed for any changes submitted to IATA for your TRUE profile after your code assignment by OSSN. 9. TRUE Administration reserves the right to deny or cancel any applicant who derives the majority of their business income based upon the recruitment of other individuals as opposed to the income derived from actual travel sales. TRUE reserves the right to cancel an assigned numeric code for any reason or misrepresentation of the TRUE program to the trade or general public that TRUE deems as inappropriate. |
