Booking
Conditions
When you book a
flight, tour or holiday including accommodation from
this website a contract is formed between us when we receive your payment
and confirmation is issued. Details are outlined below.
Consumer
Protection
The
air holidays and flights on our website are "ATOL Protected", since
we hold an Air Travel Organiser's Licence granted by the Civil Aviation
Authority. Our ATOL number is ATOL 2742. In the unlikely event of our
insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and
will arrange to refund any money you have paid us for an advance booking.
For further information visit the ATOL website at http://www.atol.org.uk
1.
Booking Form
A booking
form must be signed by one member of the party, on behalf of everyone
named on the booking form who accepts the terms and conditions laid
out here. The very nature of our holiday places additional obligations
on the company and therefore it is essential that the form is accurately
completed in order to provide the best possible service. Where information
is incorrect or withheld we will be absolved of any liability.
2.
Payment
If
you book more than 2
months prior to departure
a deposit is required as shown on the price information page for each
destination with the balance due at 2 months. No reminder will be sent
and we reserve the right to cancel your reservation, if the balance
is unpaid at 2 months, and cancellation charges, as shown in part 4,
will apply.
3.
If you change your booking
We will
do our best to make changes requested. If changes are made more than
2 months prior to departure, a fee of £25 per traveller will be
made. A change of name or changes within 2 months of travel will be
treated as a cancellation and the fees in part 4 will apply. Where you
are booked on a scheduled flight higher fees may apply. Some airlines
do not permit name changes.
4.
If you cancel your holiday
If
you wish to cancel your holiday, this must be done in writing by the
person who signed the booking form. The date of cancellation is the
date it is received in this office. The minimum charge is the deposit
amount.
Days before departure
date within which notification is received by us:
Cancellation charge/Holiday
cost
More than
2 months deposit
Between 2
months and 35 days 40%
Between 34
and 22 days 70%
21 days and
8 days 90%
Less than
7 days 100%
When the price of
your holiday is based on the number booked and a cancellation alters
that number, then we will recalculate the invoice, based on numbers
actually travelling.
No refund will be
given on any unused portion of the booking and no booking is transferrable.
5.
The Price
Prices
shown are based on the exchange rates shown on each price information
page.
Any significant
variation in exchange rates or the cost of avaiation fuel or increase
in Government charges or levies will affect the prices shown and we
reserve the right to levy any additional charge. We guarantee not to
increase prices less than 4 weeks prior to travel.
6.
If we change your booking
It is
unlikely that we will have to make changes but we do reserve the right
to do so at any time. Most of these changes are minor and any changes
will be advised by us as soon as possible. Flight timings, carriers
and aircraft types in the brochure are subject to change as a result
of Airline procedures. Within 2 months of departure should we change
the Airport of departure, the resort, time of departure or time of return
by more than 12 hours or it is necessary to provide accommodation at
a lesser category rating than booked then you have the right to accept
or receive a total refund of all monies paid.
7.
If we cancel your booking
We reserve
the absolute right to cancel your booking. However, in no case will
this be cancelled within 4 weeks of departure except for reasons of
"force majeure" and/or Act of God. in this event we will refund
any monies paid less our reasonable expenses.
8.
Our responsibility and conditions of carriage
All descriptions
are made in good faith and every care is taken to ensure their accuracy.
However in view of the detail contained and the fact that descriptions
are prepared some time in advance of holidays, advertised facilities,
amenities, entertainments and schedules may on occasion be changed or
cancelled. We have taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that
proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays, which are advertised
on this site and that the suppliers of the various services which will
be provided to you as part of the inclusive holiday, are efficient,
safe and reputable businessess, and that they comply with the local,
national laws and regulations of the country in which they provide those
services. We have no direct control over the provision of services to
clients by suppliers. However, subject to the Note below, we will pay
to our clients the equivalent of such damages as they would be entitled
to receive under English law in an English court for any personal injury
to the client including illness or death, caused by negligence, as understood
in English law, of the servants or agents of ourselves or of any of
our suppliers contracted or sub-contracted by us to provide any part
of the arrangements for your holiday as described on this website. Our
liability in respect of carriage by sea or air is limited to the terms
of the international conventions covering sea and air travel.
If you have any
dispute with such persons we will of course give you such reasonable
help as we can in resolving this.
Other
conditions which apply
When you travel by air the conditions of carriage of the carrier apply.
Some such conditions may exclude liability and are subject to international
agreements between countries. These conditions are usually shown on
your ticket and are available from this office for inspection. If you
are prevented from travelling because in the opinion of any person in
authority you appear to be unfit to travel or likely to cause discomfort
or disturbance to other passengers our responsibility for your holiday
will immediately cease. We will not be responsible for any costs you
may incur or make any refunds to you. Valuable items are at all times
at the customers own risk and should be covered by insurance. Your attention
is also drawn to the relevant section of the insurance for purchase
of emergency clothing and personal requirements.
If any client suffers
personal injury, including illness or death whilst overseas arising
out of an activity which does not form part of the inclusive holiday
arrangements, or excursions as described above, and which is the responsibility
of a third party, we will give you help in you resolving any claim you
may have against that third party. This help will include the provision
of translation services, communications with authorities and other in
foreign resorts, the recommending of foreign lawyers, (if needed) explanation
of procedures to be followed and the notification to you of any time
limits, subject to our spending on all such activities on behalf of
yourself and your party a maximum of £5,000 in total.

If you wish to complain
If you have a complaint this must be reported to the local agaent to
allow them to try to resolve the matter on the spot. Any further complaint
should be in writing and must be received within 28 days of your return
to the UK. We regret we cannot consider complaints outside this period.
