How we write, what we can and cannot do, and how to handle complaints with a provider.
Our matrix is designed for travellers: it starts from scenarios and leads to a small set of sensible options for a typical itinerary. The checklist below is intentionally concrete. When your itinerary changes, you will be glad you saved a PDF or screenshot and noted the date and time of purchase. In practice, that means reading the confirmation text twice. Many sites use similar buttons and icons, so our content focuses on checks you can repeat, not on promises you cannot verify. That is why we keep a glossary and link definitions. Drivers entering Austria often underestimate how much the wording on a website matters when you later need to prove what you bought. In practice, that means reading the confirmation text twice.

A common confusion is equating an email confirmation with validity; always confirm when the digital product actually activates. The checklist below is intentionally concrete.
