English term or phrase: except that

except that在此句里应该怎样翻译，个人认为翻译为“如果”比较合适，但except that这个词组本身并没有“如果”的意思，如果翻译为“除过”那么此句话似乎逻辑上不顺畅，请高手指点。谢谢！

你那段话的意思是，如果责任不在旅客身上的话，旅行社会给你重新安排行程并提供旅行费用的优惠，但有个前提条件，这个前提是，如果在到达终点之前，还没把生活费付清的话，旅行社就不会给你重新安排，也不会给你价格优惠。

Example sentence(s):

I would buy the suit, except that it costs too much.
