Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/08/03) */
Dear Mr.[redacted]
The Revdex.com has shared your recent correspondence pertaining to the cancellation and general customer service from [redacted] Airlines. I appreciate the opportunity to review your account and respond to your...

concerns.
From your complaint, a ticket was booked on July 6, 2015 for travel on August 2, 2015 with[redacted] Airlines for Ms.[redacted] The concern was a flight cancellation; you believe that since the passenger was a minor, certain accommodation should have been made. You believe that Orbitz should be aware of the type of practice [redacted] Airlines operates as you booked the ticket via the website. Furthermore; your perception of Orbitz has become discontented due to the service you have received.
Mr.[redacted] I do understand your concern in this matter; you in good faith booked a trip, confirmed all the necessary flight times, only to have changes made to your booking which you did not request. Travel can be a hectic experience, and Orbitz does try to meet the expectations of our customers with terms and conditions associated with ticket bookings along with retailers.
We understand your dissatisfaction; however, carriers reserve the right to change their flight schedules at any time, with or without notice. During the booking process, Orbitz presents and customers must agree to the airline fare rules and Ticket Terms and Conditions. This policy is consistent throughout the airline industry, and the same rules would apply if you had booked the ticket directly from the airline or another travel agency.
Please understand Orbitz is only a purveyor of tickets for airline carriers we display on our site. If you review your credit card statement, on the date of purchase, all funds collected for the ticket were charged directly to [redacted] Airlines for payment, not Orbitz.
Orbitz did charge a service fee of $21.99 to use the website; our fee is similar to other industries as a way of generating revenue.
On your behalf, I have contacted [redacted] Airlines regarding the complaint; the airline did refund the ticket in the amount of $153.09 on August 2, 2015. The airline does advise a 7 to 10 business day timeframe for the refund to process. This is the stipulation and policy of the airline, not Orbitz.
The change to your itinerary was due to operational needs by the airline, [redacted], not Orbitz. These types of delays are administered and controlled by the airline, not Orbitz. These would include the gate changes, airline personal along with baggage reconciliation. Unfortunately, we are not able to account for the airline's choice of operations or staff at specific airports. This is left to the particular airline, not Orbitz.
As the airline has refunded the ticket; Orbitz will refund the service fee. This will process today, August 3, 2015. Please allow a 3 to 5 day timeframe for the credit to appear on the statement. This will appear as an Orbitz credit, not [redacted] Airlines.
Therefore, the total amount of $175.08 has been refunded.
We take our customers' comments very seriously, and I thank you for your honest feedback albeit the result was not what you were expecting.
Mr.[redacted] we thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Your business is truly valued, and we hope you will provide us with a future opportunity to serve you with your travel planning needs.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Re: Orbitz Case #: O-[redacted]
 
Dear Revdex.com,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Orbitz regarding an issue from our customer.  We appreciate the Revdex.com allowing us to address the comments and concerns which have been brought to our attention.  Orbitz is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you.
Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from [redacted] (Revdex.com case number [redacted]) regarding hotel reservations. We understand the customer is requesting a refund of $1,075.50 for his hotel reservations.
Our records indicate that on June 25, 2016, the customer booked hotel reservations – itinerary [redacted] – using the self-service tool on the Orbitz website. Hotel accommodations were at the [redacted] Inn San Jose/Milpitas, checking in June 25, 2016, for four nights.
Upon further research, on July 13, 2016, Orbitz advocated on the behalf of the customer with the [redacted] Inn San Jose/Milpitas, who advised that the customer arrived on June 26, 2016, and stayed one night. The hotel advised that they will refund for the three unused nights, however, they are unable to refund the room night that was utilized by the customer. As such, on July 13, 2016, Orbitz processed a refund for the three unused room nights in the amount of $823.15.
We hope that with the information provided, we have addressed all of the customer’s concerns and look forward to assisting them further with their future travel needs.
If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.
 
Sincerely,

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:    HELLOOOOOOO!!!!   There were numerous times that Orbitz COULD have told me about EACH change!!   They did NOT!!   The first time being only 4 days after I purchased the ticket....back in December!!   This change is when they changed the city and the time by one hour.   The next change...30 days later...they made it closer to the original time that it was first purchased at.  IF the airline had NOT done so...she would have missed her flight.   Because...REMEMBER...I received an email 3 hours before the flight was ready to leave, and it was still listed at the time when I had originally purchased it.  So you had a BIG failure of communication with your system and myself, which was 5 months in the making.   Five months for Orbitz to figure this out!!  Five months!!  If you are not doing anything else for me, then, as the airline customer service person told me, I will in the FUTURE, book directly with the airlines, as they did send the notices out to Orbitz, but Orbitz FAILED to communicate those changes with me.  In fact...remember....3 hours before...and it was all a GO at the original time and stopover city, in the email that ORBITZ sent me!!!!.   A lot of good it did me to book with you.   EVERYONE....do yourself a favor...and skip Orbitz...which is now bought by [redacted].   I have given you 4 different chances with phone calls...and now thru the Revdex.com.    I am very disappointed with your lack of seeing your inner communication issues.   I trusted your information that you gave me with the last email you sent out ...3 hours ahead of her flight....with the WRONG information.   SHAME on you Orbitz.  PBORB [redacted]  And [redacted] who called me on the 6th, (as she couldn't find my confirmation number...which again...I don't understand....what is wrong with your record keeping??!)  , didn't have the guts to tell me this over the phone.  I know that great customer service is NOT your motto.  SAD.
Sincerely,

Dear [redacted]
The Revdex.com has shared your recent correspondence pertaining to your cancelled bookings. I have also found that you posted your concerns on social media. On behalf of Orbitz, I apologize for any confusion,...

and appreciate the opportunity to review your account and respond to your concerns.
I have reviewed your reservation history to better understand the nature of your concerns. Upon reviewing your account, our records show you made 3 reservations on our website, using the same name. Furthermore, you feel this was a website error, and your bookings were partially refunded. Please know I have found that each booking was reserved via our website, under the name of[redacted] that is associated with the email address of - [email protected]. Orbitz has confirmed your reservation history in our website logs, as well as the underlying airline reservation system. We have found that the name was added correctly, and does not show that there were any website errors during your booking process.
You also go on to say that you did not request your tickets to be refunded. However, our Customer Service agent refunded your tickets per British Airways rules stating because the date of births in the two bookings did not match, and your only option was to have the tickets refunded. As an agency, Orbitz needs to abide by the airline's rules. I do understand that you did not request the refund, but Customer Service was doing all possible to resolve your case. We regret that the one good ticket was also refunded during the process and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Nevertheless, I see there is a resolution to your case. I found that you contacted Orbitz Customer Service on September 23, and they have issued new tickets for[redacted] and [redacted] and that Orbitz Customer Service will refund you the difference of the fare increase. However, Orbitz is not the position to offer any compensation for the third booking.
We certainly regret your disappointment in our services, but we were making every effort to assist with your request. I look forward to hearing back to you and assist with your booking needs.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Dear Ms. [redacted]
Thank you for contacting Orbitz regarding your recent hotel booking and the problems you encountered with the rate of your booking. On behalf of Orbitz, I sincerely apologize for this disappointing experience.
During...

the booking process, Orbitz presented to you the amount you would be charged for your booking, which was $179.56 USD. All prices on our website are listed in USD unless otherwise noted. You agreed to this price, and that is what Orbitz charged you.
Orbitz negotiates rates with hotels and these rates are not available for the public to book. The negotiated rates for hotel inventory available for booking on our site is confidential financial information that only Orbitz and that specific hotel's management team are to have knowledge of, is not available to the public, and was disclosed to you by the hotel in error.
Regrettably, Orbitz is not in a position to issue you a refund for the amount that was agreed upon during the booking process. As a gesture of goodwill, Orbitz has issued you a $50 promotion code to use on your next Oribtz.com prepaid hotel booking. Our promotion code is meant to emphasize our commitment to you and we remain hopeful you will continue using (BRAND) for your travel planning needs.
Here are the instructions for redeeming the promotion code:

Below are the Terms and Conditions associated with the Promotion Code:

The value of the hotel booking must be greater than the value of the promotion code.

Ms. [redacted] Orbitz values your business, and we look forward to serving you with your future travel planning needs.

and concerns which have been brought to our attention. Orbitz is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you. Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from [redacted] (Revdex.com case number [redacted]) regarding a hotel reservation. We understand from Ms. [redacted] complaint she is requesting a travel credit due to missing her trip to Huston.Our records indicate on July 16, 2016 the customer self-booked a hotel reservation for two travelers using Orbitz.com. The customer purchased a one night hotel reservation at [redacted] Houston Bush Intl, checking in on July 19, 2016, and checking out on July 20, 2016.We are able to confirm that during the booking process the customer reserved the hotel as a “pay now” reservation. After further research the specific room that the customer reserved is available as a “pay later” reservation but after reviewing a screen-by-screen record of the customers booking process we are able to verify that the customer booked the hotel reservation to be paid for at the time of booking.Our records reflect on July 16, 2016 the customer went on Orbitz.com and utilized our self-service tools to cancel her reservation. Per the hotels cancellation and change policy “Cancellations or changes made after 5:00 PM local hotel time, Tuesday, July 19, 2016 are subject to a hotel fee equal to 1 night(s) plus taxes and fees.” Since the customer canceled the reservation on July 16, 2016 an automatic refund of $104.11 has been processed back to the customers original form of payment. The amount of time it takes the customer to receive depends on the customers banking institution. At this time we are unable to provide any additional forms of compensation to Ms. [redacted].We sincerely regret that we are unable to offer a more satisfactory response or resolution to the customers concern. At Orbitz we try as much as possible to provide not only excellent customer service but we also try to exceed what is expected of us. However we know that there are some instances when policies associated with the purchases made on our website cannot allow for a resolution that is more favorable to our customers. We are not trying to discharge ourselves from any responsibility; we only want to convey that we were able to provide Ms. [redacted] with the necessary information related to the hotel purchase before our system asked Ms. [redacted] to complete the reservation online.We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues, brought to our attention.

allowing us to address the comments and concerns which have been brought to our attention. Orbitz is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you. Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from Tiffany [redacted] (Revdex.com case number 11495248) regarding a package reservation. We understand from the customers complaint she is requesting a refund to use her flight credit.Our records indicate on April 4, 2016 the customer called customer service and purchased a package reservation for four travelers. The customer purchased a seven night hotel reservation at ME Cancun - Complete ME All Inclusive, checking in on July 26, 2016, and checking out on August 2, 2016. The customers round trip flights were operated by [redacted] Airlines, departing from Richmond, VA to Cancun on July 26, 2016, and returning on August 2, 2016.On June 7, 2016 the customer called Orbitz in regards to canceling the package reservation after being notified that the hotel is under reconstruction. As Orbitz was unaware of this reconstruction an agent called the hotel to verify the information. Upon speaking to the front desk agent at the hotel we were advised the hotel would be closed due to renovations. As Orbitz serves as a third party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines we obtain all of the information directly from the vendors. During the call our agent was able to fully refund the hotel reservation. Also during the call Ms. [redacted] was advised she would retain an airline credit with [redacted] Airlines, in the amount of $451.80 per passenger.We would like to apologize for the inconvenience Ms. [redacted] has experienced, and that our regrets that we are unable to offer Ms. [redacted] a more satisfactory solution to this problem. It is disheartening when our clients feel that we have not met the standards to which we hold our organization and employees, as we attempt to provide the most efficient, quality service available.Orbitz serves as a third party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. Based on [redacted] Airlines fare rules the customer agreed to at the time of booking, the tickets were non-refundable and non-changeable.As an effort to advocate on the customers behalf Orbitz contacted [redacted] Airlines and was advised that the customer is able to utilize the credit for the unutilized flights for each passenger but due to the circumstances they are not able to waive any change fees that may be associated with using the remaining credit. Unfortunately, Orbitz is not authorized to refund this reservation in full.Since Orbitz serves as a third party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. Based on the fare rules the customer agreed to at the time of booking, the tickets were non-refundable with a change penalty fee of $200 per passenger would be charged. In addition, the customer would be responsible for any difference in fare. Ms. [redacted] flight credit validity states, that travel must commence within one year from the original ticketing date of April 16, 2015.We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues, brought to our attention.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2014/06/05) */
Dear Ms.[redacted]
The Revdex.com has shared your recent correspondence pertaining to the possible refund of a ticket due to a missed flight. I appreciate the opportunity to review your account and respond to your...

concerns.
From your complaint, you booked a ticket on February 5, 2014 for travel on May 23, 2014. This was with Air France from London to Paris. Due to connection delays, the flight was missed; the airline Air France would not assist you to re-book the flights, resulting in additional costs. You attempted to contact Orbitz, without success. You believe that Orbitz should refund the ticket as this was booked via the website. Furthermore; your perception of Orbitz has become discontented due to the service you have received.
Ms.[redacted] I do understand your concern in this regard; travel can be a hectic experience, and Orbitz does try to meet the expectations of our customers with terms and conditions associated with ticket bookings.
According to my research, the ticket was booked privately, meaning there was no assistance from a telesales representative to book the ticket over the phone. The ticket was generated correctly, and the confirmation emails were sent. The airline, [redacted] acknowledged the booking and there were no schedule changes or service disruptions.
Orbitz has established a procedure for the situation which you have presented, that has been in place since 2009, stating if the travel is less than 24 hours prior to departure, the airline is responsible regarding changes and re-accommodations such as the one you have presented.
According to my research, the first contact regarding the issue was the escalation to the Revdex.com.
Under the rules of the ticket, if a passenger does not utilize the outbound segment of the ticket, and no prior notification is given to the change flights or dates. The ticket becomes void, including the return portion. This policy is consistent throughout the airline industry, and the same rules would apply if you had booked the ticket directly from the airline or another travel agency.
While I recognize your disappointment and regret any inconvenience this may have caused, please understand that all travel agencies are required to follow the rules of the carrier. This entire fare was paid to [redacted] and Orbitz is required to adhere to all the airline's rules and restrictions.
Although I understand your frustration and dissatisfaction; we are confident that all pertinent information about the cancellation policy was presented to you during the booking process.
Regrettably, Orbitz is not in a position to compensate for any additional expenses due to the situation presented.
Ms.[redacted] I understand this may not have been the answer you were looking for; however, we hope this explanation clarifies the reason Orbitz will not refund the amount desired of $1,142.97.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

I accept their policies.
I do not accept their process in offering a phone number to international travelers which is incorrect/unavailable during certain hours. Hours that are not stated. (Find the number- I found [redacted]- and call it.)
I concede but I hope Orbitz can at the least offer better customer support.

The flight reservation was operated by Air China, with flights from Seoul Incheon to Washington Dulles departing on June 24, 2016.We can confirm that Mr. [redacted] contacted Orbitz on June 24, 2016 regarding canceling his flight. During that call the agent was able to successfully cancel the customers flights Since the flights were successfully voided within 24 hours of purchase, the authorization of $756.16 should have been released back to the customers card. These authorizations typically release within 24-48 hours. We recommend that Mr. [redacted] contact his bank for more information regarding these authorizations and timeframes for their release.It is disheartening when our clients feel that we have not met the standards to which we hold our organization and employees, as we attempt to provide the most efficient, quality service available.

Dear Ms. [redacted], Thank you for contacting Orbitz regarding your seat assignments for your [redacted] Airlines flight. It is my understanding that you are not confirmed in the seats...

you requested. I appreciate the opportunity to review and respond to your concerns. On behalf of Orbitz, I sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience and the frustration this caused you. Please know when booking a reservation via the Orbitz website, all seats are only on request. We must receive confirmation from the airlines stating seats are confirmed or under airport control. Every airline reserves the right to control their inventory and re-accommodate travelers (i.e. schedules/flights, aircraft type/equipment, and seats). Pre-reserved seating is dependent upon several factors: the specific airline; the type of ticket (not necessarily the cost); customer’s frequent traveler status/level with the specific carrier; airline restrictions and policy. Any option for seating via Orbitz.com would be dictated by those factors as well as the airline seat availability/inventory at the time of selection/request. In addition, even after “confirmation” any airline would be able to rearrange seat assignments for a variety of reasons (i.e. security, ADA, family/minor, aircraft weight/balance, overbooking, cancellations/delay, FAA rules, etc.). Nonetheless, please keep in mind regardless of where a ticket is purchased, every airline reserves the right to move or remove passengers from flights/seats/aircraft type, etc. Seat assignments are ultimately the decision of the airline, and we advise our customers that if they have special needs, it is always best to check with the airport directly so that the airline may accommodate those needs. Ms. [redacted], we value you as a customer, and as a gesture of goodwill, Orbitz has issued you a $100 USD future travel voucher to use on your next Orbitz.com prepaid booking. Our voucher is meant to emphasize our commitment to you, and we remain hopeful you will continue using Orbitz for your travel planning needs. Here are the instructions for the future travel voucher: When you make your next booking on Orbitz.com, please forward a copy of the Orbitz Travel Document e-mail to us at [email protected]. Please reference case number 5764091 and my letter offering the $100 future travel voucher in your request. Orbitz will then issue a credit to the card used for the new booking. This offer is valid for one year from the date of this letter, until March 21, 2017. Ms. [redacted], thank you allowing me to review this with you. We appreciate your business, and we hope to have an opportunity to serve you in the future. Sincerely, [redacted]

Dear [redacted]   The Revdex.com has shared with us your correspondence regarding your recent Orbitz experience. It is my understanding you are upset with the service you received when contacted Orbitz regarding a name correction. I appreciate the...

opportunity to review your account and respond to you.   On behalf of Orbitz, I would like to apologize for any frustration this has caused you.   Each airline provides Orbitz with their own set of rules regarding name corrections, including if they are allowed and if they charge a fee for the correction. In this case, [redacted] Airlines has stated name corrections are not allowed if there is another carrier on the ticket. Unfortunately, as [redacted] Airlines was also on the reservation, [redacted] Airlines would not allow Orbitz to process a name correction to your reservation.   [redacted], it is the responsibility of the Orbitz member or the person using the account on the member’s behalf to confirm all travel specifications before completing the booking process.  Orbitz is explicit in the importance of reconfirming the traveler and itinerary selections.  Throughout the booking process and prior to the final selection, the website recaps the selections made by the member.  The traveler name is highlighted above the purchase button on the final ‘Review and purchase’ page.   Please know per the fare rules placed on your ticket by [redacted] Airlines the reservation is non-refundable; therefore, Orbitz is not in a position to process a refund for your reservation.  Nevertheless, we do value you as a customer, and as a gesture of sincerity for your disappointing experience we would like to offer you a $300 future travel [redacted] to be used towards your next Orbitz.com booking. Our [redacted] is meant to emphasize our commitment to you, and we remain hopeful you will continue using Orbitz for your travel planning needs.
                Here are the instructions for the future travel [redacted]:                 When you make your next booking on Orbitz.com, please forward a copy of the Orbitz Travel Document e-mail to us at [redacted]@customercare.orbitz.com.  Please reference case number [redacted] and my letter offering the $300 [redacted] in your request.  Orbitz will then issue a credit to the card used for the new booking.  This offer is valid for one year from the date of this letter, until March 5, 2017.   [redacted], we wish our response could be more favorable. We appreciate your business and hope you will continue to use Orbitz in the future for your travel needs.   Sincerely, [redacted] Orbitz Customer Relations Chicago, IL

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: it does not resolve my conflict. However, I do not wish to push the issue further, I will simply discontinue my use of the services of Orbitz from this point forward and will advise my fellow travelers to do the same. Thank you very much, Revdex.com for your assistance in this matter.

June 28, 2016Revdex.comComplaint Department – OrbitzRe: Orbitz Case #: O-[redacted]Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for taking the time to contact Orbitz regarding an issue from our customer. We appreciate the Revdex.com allowing us to address the comments...

and concerns which have been brought to our attention. Orbitz is disheartened the customer felt their concerns were not resolved adequately by our company prior to seeking further actions from you. Orbitz is responding to the consumer complaint from [redacted] (Revdex.com case number [redacted]) regarding a flight reservation. We understand from Mr. [redacted]’s complaint he is requesting a new ticket to be issued at the rate at which it was booked.Our records indicate on June 9, 2016 the customer self-booked a round trip flight reservation for two adults. The customers flights were operated by LOT-[redacted] Airlines, they were scheduled to depart from Chicago, IL on September 9, 2016 and return to Warszawa, Poland on September 16, 2016.We have confirmed that due to a system error the customers tickets were unable to be successfully issued. Due to this by the time the customer was notified about his unconfirmed flights LOT-[redacted] Airlines had canceled the customers flights and the fare associated to the customers flights had increased. Our records reflect multiple calls being made into customer service by Mr. [redacted] in regards to his canceled flights. Due to the fact that the fare for the customers flights had increased our agents were unable to reissue the customers tickets with the fare that they were originally reserved at.Orbitz serves as a third party intermediary with travel providers such as hotels, car rental agencies and airlines and is subject to the rules and restrictions of those providers. We utilize a real-time airline reservations database that contains current ticket prices and availability. The database is updated regularly as fares change and seats are sold. In addition, the airline limits the number of seats available for discounted fares; as the discounted seats sell out fast, those airfares are no longer available. Consequently, it is possible that a specific fare that is available when customers book their reservations will no longer be available when it comes to ticketing the reservation. Airfares are subject to change until the tickets and the reservation is confirmed. Orbitz is unable to change or alter the fares provided by the airlines therefore we are unable to book Mr. [redacted] ticket at the rate originally quoted.When finalizing a reservation on Orbitz.com, the user agrees to the specific rules and restrictions provided during the booking session. As set forth in the Orbitz Terms of Use:SUPPLIER RULES AND RESTRICTIONS:Additional terms and conditions will apply to your reservation and purchase of travel—related goods and services that you select. Please read these additional terms and conditions carefully. In particular, if you have purchased an airfare, please ensure you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the Supplier, which can be found on the Supplier’s website. You agree to abide by the terms and conditions of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier's rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products, or services. Airfare is only guaranteed once the purchase has been completed and the tickets have been issued. Airlines and other travel suppliers may change their prices without notice. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if full payment is not received in a timely fashion.We thank you for allowing us the opportunity to address the issues, brought to our attention.

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2014/05/22) */
Dear [redacted]
The Revdex.com has shared your recent correspondence with Orbitz, so we may assist you further. I understand you booked a reservation on our website then realized it was for the wrong date. So you booked another...

reservation for the correct date. You are requesting a refund for the reservation booked with the wrong dates. I appreciate the opportunity to review and respond to you.
After reviewing your account, I show your reservations. Due to the circumstances, I have spoken with the hotel on your behalf. Since the reservation was not canceled, they held the room, and the hotel was sold out for that night. The Hampton Inn Beloit has charged Orbitz in full for that night. Unfortunately, if the hotel will not refund your money to Orbitz, we are unable to refund you.
However, as a gesture of goodwill, Orbitz has issued you a $75 USD future travel voucher to use toward your next Orbitz.com prepaid booking. Our voucher is meant to emphasize our commitment to you, and we remain hopeful you will continue using Orbitz for your travel planning needs. Here are the instructions for the future travel voucher:
When you make your next booking on Orbitz.com, please forward a copy of the Orbitz Travel Document e-mail to us at [redacted]@Orbitz.com. Please reference case number XXXXXXX and my letter offering the $75 future travel voucher in your request. Orbitz will then issue a credit to the card used for the new booking. This offer is valid for one year from the date of this letter, until [redacted] 22, 2015.
[redacted] we appreciate your business, and we hope to have an opportunity to serve you in the future with your travel planning needs.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
