Most customers most of the time will find lower fares, not because of web fares, and not because we will have access to fares that other channels (CRS''s and the sites and agents that rely on them) do not have access to, but because we will do a better job of searching the fares everyone has access to. This will be because we have opted to do what the others have not, which courtyard by marriott providence downtown and providence is invest in new technology computers able to do far bigger searches, using search software that that was independently developed and is designed to search all fare and schedule possibilities comprehensively and without bias, and in telecommunications capacity ri that will provide absolutely the most current information on seat availability. it is expected that more than 99% of the time that we come up with a better fare, it will not be marriott because we had access to any fare that its competitor did not. it will be because we did a more providence comprehensive and unbiased search of all the fare and schedule possibilities that are available to all channels. it is absolutely clear that airlines do not have the ability to drive consumers to channels which the airlines, rather than consumers, prefer. if one or more airlines attempted to do so, the others would increase ri their market share by appealing to those same consumers through the channel those consumers prefer. no airline can afford to turn its back on any subgroup of consumers. no airline can afford to be anything other than as competitive and as attractive as it can possibly be through each channel to the consumers that marriott prefer that channel. this is a reality that grows ultimately out of the fact that providence the airline business is a very low margin business - any airline that lost even a small group of passengers would be at risk of swinging from profitable to money-losing in an instant. airlines scrap for every last passenger because they have to. you may only use our site if you are at least 18 years of age and can enter into binding contracts (our site is not available for use by minors). you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy ri of your passwords, login and account information. marriott you will be financially accountable for all uses of our site providence by you ri and anyone using your password and login information. you may only use our site to make legitimate reservations or purchases. you marriott may not use our site: to make any false, fraudulent or speculative reservation or any providence reservation in anticipation of demand; to post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, indecent, inflammatory, pornographic or profane material or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law; or for any other purpose that is unlawful ri or prohibited by these terms.
