Section 5
How We Share Your Information
Wyta shares personal information only as described below and only to the extent necessary for each purpose.
Service Providers & Vendors
We use trusted third-party vendors for payment processing, website hosting, email delivery, customer support tools, and analytics. They are contractually required to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.
Travel Suppliers & Partners
To complete bookings, we share relevant information such as name, contact details, and travel dates with airlines, hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, and other travel suppliers as needed to fulfill your reservation.
Legal Obligations
We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, or government regulation, or when needed to protect the safety, rights, or property of Wyta, our members, or the public.

If Wyta is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you by email or a prominent notice on our website if this occurs.
No Sale of Personal Information
Wyta does not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes. This prohibition applies regardless of any future change in applicable law unless we first give you notice and the opportunity to opt out.
Section 6
Membership, Payments & Billing
Recurring Billing
Membership fees are billed on a recurring basis, monthly or annually, depending on the plan selected. Your payment method on file will be automatically charged at the start of each new billing cycle unless you cancel prior to renewal.
Cancellation Policy
Members may cancel at any time by emailing careers@wytagroup.com. Cancellation requests must be received at least 3 days before the next billing cycle begins. Cancellations submitted after a new cycle has been charged will take effect at the end of that billing period.
No Refund Policy
All membership fees are non-refundable under any circumstances, including but not limited to partial use, dissatisfaction, account inactivity, technical issues, or failure to cancel before renewal. This policy applies to all membership tiers and no refunds or credits will be issued for any reason.
Authorization to Charge
By enrolling, you expressly authorize Wyta to charge your payment method on file on a recurring basis until cancellation is confirmed in writing.
Important: To avoid being charged for the next billing cycle, you must submit your cancellation request to careers@wytagroup.com at least 3 days before your renewal date. No charges will be made after a confirmed cancellation.
Section 6 Continued
How to Cancel Your Membership
Once your cancellation is confirmed, you will receive a written confirmation via email. We recommend retaining this confirmation for your records. Your access to membership benefits will continue through the end of the current paid billing period.
Cancel Before Renewal: Written cancellation requests must be submitted to careers@wytagroup.com at least 3 days before your renewal date. Verbal or informal requests are not valid. Wyta cannot issue refunds for charges already processed.
Section 7
Advisor Payment & Commission Practices
Commission Disbursement
Independent travel advisors affiliated with Wyta receive commissions in accordance with their advisor agreement and applicable supplier terms. Commission payments are processed on a schedule disclosed in the advisor agreement and are subject to supplier payment timelines.
Wyta is not responsible for delays caused by third-party suppliers withholding, adjusting, or reversing commission payments due to client cancellations, chargebacks, or supplier policy changes.
Advisor Membership Fees
Travel advisors who pay a membership fee to affiliate with Wyta are subject to the same cancellation and no-refund policy as all members. Membership fees do not guarantee a minimum level of bookings, commissions, or earnings.
Chargebacks & Disputes
Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting Wyta in writing constitutes a material breach of this agreement and may result in immediate and permanent termination of membership and advisor status, referral to collections, and legal action to recover amounts owed plus attorneys' fees and costs.
No Earnings Guarantee
Wyta makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of commissions, bookings, or income an advisor may earn, and past results are not indicative of future performance.
Section 8
Client Travel Payments & Refunds
1
Supplier-Controlled Refunds
Refunds for travel products are governed by the policies of the individual travel supplier, such as an airline, cruise line, hotel, or tour operator, not by Wyta. Wyta acts solely as an intermediary and will advocate on your behalf, but refund eligibility, amounts, and timelines are determined solely by the supplier. Wyta bears no financial liability for any supplier refund decision or outcome.
2
Wyta Service Fees
Any service, planning, consultation, or booking fees charged directly by Wyta or a Wyta-affiliated advisor are non-refundable once any planning, consultation, or booking activity has commenced, regardless of whether the underlying travel booking proceeds or the final outcome of the trip.
3
Travel Insurance Recommendation
Wyta strongly recommends that all clients purchase comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking. Travel insurance may protect against cancellation penalties, medical emergencies, trip interruption, and other unforeseen circumstances. Purchase of travel insurance is voluntary but highly encouraged.
4
Limitation of Wyta Liability for Travel Losses
Wyta is not liable for any loss, injury, damage, delay, cancellation, or other harm arising from travel services provided by third-party suppliers, and clients assume all such risks.
Section 9
Data Retention
How Long We Keep Your Data
Wyta retains personal information only as long as necessary to provide services, maintain active accounts, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and resolve disputes or enforce our agreements.
When information is no longer needed, Wyta will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with its retention schedule. Wyta may retain data beyond the stated periods where required by law, regulation, or ongoing legal proceedings.
