That user has 1 and only 1 post. Let's say for the moment Eric is who he claims he is. That doesn't change what I'm seeing on the agency booking login or main page after login. There is no terms of use/user agreement etc.
Hard for me to accept an unpublished user agreement. Eric's comment also illustrates that KVS "passed" on the "user agreement violation" to the donor as KVS didn't create any GTC accounts. He merely provided instructions to the donors.
KVS should stop hiding behind his "specialized" web browser defense as we all know it if not. Instead he should just call it what it is. A travel tool that presents data from 3rd party sites in a layout/format inconsistent with the 3rd party sites' intent and put a clear warning that by using this tool, the donor is possibly violating the terms of use on some of those sites.
