Purpose of the site; reservations and transactions.

All reservations and transactions made through the Site are subject to Alamo’s acceptance, which is in our sole discretion.  Without limitation, this means that Alamo may refuse to accept or may cancel any reservation or transaction, whether or not the reservation or transaction has been confirmed, for any or no reason, in our sole discretion, and, unless you select the prepayment option (if available), without liability to you or any third party.  By way of example and without limitation, We may refuse to accept or cancel a reservation due to inventory shortages, inventory constraints and manufacturer recalls.

You may cancel a reservation at any time, regardless of whether or not the reservation or transaction has been confirmed, for any or no reason.  The cancellation is without liability to you, unless you select the prepayment option (if available).
