1. BOOKING AND
DEPOSIT |
|
In order to
make a booking you must accept our booking conditions and pay a
deposit of £30.00 per person. If part of your holiday is travel
by air, rail or sea, the conditions of that carrier will apply
to our contract. They may include limitations on your right to
seek compensation. Copies of these conditions are available from
the Company and will be provided to you on request. |
|
2. CONFIRMATION OF
BOOKING |
|
The Company
reserves the unconditional right to refuse a booking or
terminate a passenger's holiday if that passenger's conduct is
considered to be unreasonable by the driver or courier or other
representative of the company. Examples of unreasonable conduct
are set out in paragraph 13.2 When the Company has checked that
it has available space on the holiday of your choice a
confirmation invoice will be forwarded to you. This is normally
within three weeks of receipt of your signed Booking Form and
deposit and the contract is made when the Company dispatches
this confirmation. |
|
3. BALANCE OF THE
COST |
|
The balance of
the cost must be paid to the office at which you made the
booking at least 6 weeks before the holiday departure date. If
you book within 6 weeks of departure you must pay the full cost
of the holiday at the time of booking. If you do not pay the
balance of the cost within the time limit stated above the
Company may cancel your holiday and retain a proportion of the
cost as shown below |
|
4. PRICE
|
|
Holiday costs
include all coach travel, hotel accommodation and meals as
specified in the holiday description and VAT where applicable.
Some hotels may make a small additional charge for tea and
coffee served after lunch and dinner. Unless specifically
indicated in the tour itinerary or holiday description, entrance
fees, guide fees, and city sightseeing tours are not included in
the holiday cost. Some excursions are included in the price of
holidays and refunds cannot be made for passengers not wishing
to go on those excursions |
|
5. AMENDMENTS TO
YOUR BOOKING BY YOU |
|
If, after your
booking has been confirmed, you wish to change to an alternative
holiday or change your departure dates, the Company will try to
make the changes as long as you write to the Company and your
request is received at least 6 weeks before the departure date.
The Company may charge an administration fee of £5.00 per person
per change. However, if the Company is unable to make your
requested change, you may either continue with your unchanged
booking or cancel your holiday. If you choose to cancel your
holiday, the Company may retain a proportion of the cost as
shown below |
|
6. CANCELLATION OF
YOUR BOOKING BY YOU |
|
If you wish to
cancel your holiday for any or all persons after your booking
has been confirmed, you must write to the Company. Cancellation
incurs administrative costs. The Company may retain your deposit
as a contribution towards those costs together with a sliding
scale of the costs of your holiday, depending upon the date of
cancellation and the date of departure. You may be able to
reclaim any amount retained by the Company from your holiday
insurers. The non-refundable part of the cost of holiday will
not be more than the amounts shown below: |
|
7. AMENDMENTS TO
YOUR HOLIDAY BY THE COMPANY |
|
The
arrangements for holidays shown in our publicity material are
made many months in advance and changes are sometimes
unavoidable. Most of these changes are minor but the Company
will notify you as soon as it is reasonably possible. A
"significant change" is one that involves changing your
departure date (but not time), resort area, reducing the rating
of your main hotel (but not single overnight hotels on touring
holidays) or changes to the itinerary which involve a
destination being totally removed from the revised itinerary. In
the event of a significant change you may decide to: 7.1
continue with the holiday as amended; or 7.2 accept any
alternative holiday offered to you by the Company; or 7.3 cancel
your booking |
|
8. CANCELLATION BY
THE COMPANY |
|
Some holidays
will only take place if a minimum number of passengers have
booked. If the minimum number has not been reached six weeks
before the departure date, then the Company may cancel your
holiday. If so, you will be notified as soon as possible, and
you may choose another holiday or accept a refund in accordance
with paragraph 9. |
|
9. REFUNDS |
|
If a change to
(or cancellation of) the booked holiday was caused by an event
beyond the control of the Company, (including hostilities, war,
riots, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural
disasters, fire, flood, epidemics or on advice from any
government or other official body, transport breakdown, port
closures, or adverse weather conditions) then the Company shall
have no liability to you. In other instances the Company will
pay compensation of up to [110%] of the cost of the holiday. You
are strongly advised to obtain holiday cancellation insurance. |
|
10. INSOLVENCY |
|
In accordance
with the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours
Regulations 1992 all passengers booking with the Company are
fully protected for the initial deposit and subsequently the
balance of all monies paid to the Company including repatriation
if required, arising from cancellation or curtailment of your
travel arrangements due to the insolvency of the Company. There
is no requirement for financial protection for day trips and
none is provided. A certificate detailing this cover will be
given to each passenger as evidence of cover. Please ensure that
you have been given the appropriate certificate(s) at the time
of booking. The insurance has been arranged by the Company
through International Passenger Protection Limited and
underwritten by insurers who are members of the Association of
British Insurers. |
|
11. COMPLAINTS
|
|
11.1 If you
have a complaint during your holiday please bring the matter to
the immediate attention of our courier/driver, hotel manager or
resort representative who will do their best to help you
straight away. 11.2 If you are still dissatisfied you must write
to the Company within 14 days of the completion of your holiday.
Please quote your name, holiday reference number, departure date
and forward all relevant information. 11.3 All complaints
received are thoroughly investigated and you will be kept
informed at each stage of the investigation. Sometimes the
investigations can take time awaiting response from hoteliers. |
|
12. LIABILITY OF THE
COMPANY |
|
12.1 We make
every effort to make proper arrangements for all holidays
advertised in our publicity material and that the suppliers of
the services you enjoy during your holiday are efficient and
reputable. In order to keep holiday costs low, we limit the
compensation you can claim from the Company. 12.2 Nothing in
these conditions excludes or limits the liability of the Company
for death or personal injury caused by the Company's negligence
or fraudulent misrepresentation. 12.3 The Company will not be
liable for any loss or damage in circumstances where there is no
breach of a legal duty of care owed to you by the Company, its
employees or agents or if such loss or damage is not reasonably
foreseeable. |
|
13. GENERAL |
|
13.1 -
Departure points and times: You are responsible for making sure
that you are at the correct departure point at the stated time.
It is important that you make yourself conspicuous at the
departure point as occasionally we may use other companies'
vehicles on transfer services including taxis, feeder coaches,
private hire cars etc. If any departure is more than 12 hours
late, and the delay is within the Company's reasonable control,
the Company will pay reasonable expenses resulting from its
failure to keep to the specified timetable. 13.2 Holiday
prohibitions: During the holiday you may not: 13.2.1 smoke at
any time on the coach; 13.2.2 behave in an unreasonable manner
which may upset or jeopardise the safety of other passengers;
13.2.3 bring a pet or any other animal (other than a guide dog
by prior arrangement); 13.2.4 play a radio or cassette player on
the coach. 13.3 Hotel accommodation: Our reference to "hotel"
covers all accommodation and does not necessarily distinguish
between local class |
|
14. INSURANCE
|
|
Insurance is
desirable on all holidays. The Company will not accept bookings
for Continental and Channel Islands holidays in excess of three
days duration unless you have arranged travel insurance. The
Company offers a special insurance which will enable the
driver/courier in most situations to deal with any emergency
promptly and without the need to initially check the
documentation. If you do not take out our recommended insurance
for these types of holiday you must state your insurer's name,
policy number and emergency telephone number. We reserve the
right to refuse any booking if we are not satisfied with your
insurance policy. Should no insurance cover be shown on the
Booking Form with regard to Continental and Channel Island
holidays of more than three days duration we will charge you for
providing cover in accordance with our recommended policy. |
