AMENDING YOUR BOOKING |
---|
If after our confirmation invoice has been issued you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date, accommodation or name change, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible.Any request for changes must be made in writing by the person who made the hooking or by your travel agent.
You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £25 per person named on the booking form (max of £50 per booking) in addition to the increase, if any, in the costs of the revised arrangements. For name changes (of some of the party members) notified to us no more than three weeks prior to departure a charge of £25 per name change will apply. Please note changes made within 3 weeks prior to departure could incur charges up to £200 per person, certain travel arrangements (e.g. Apex tickets) cannot be changed after a reservation has been made, and any amendment request will incur a 100% cancellation charge. “Your Financial Protection” When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. “We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).” “If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.” |

ACCOMMODATION DESCRIPTIONS |
---|
All accommodation is licensed and classified according to International standards. Where a room is described as -Sea view’ you will be able to view the sea from your balcony. If none is provided, the sea will be visible from the window. However, there may be some properties where the balcony or windows are angled or the view partially obscured – especially on low floors – by trees or buildings. Our accommodation descriptions list all the facilities provided by relevant managements. However these may require annual maintenance or may be non-operational due to adverse weather (e.g. sporting facilities) or they may be withdrawn at short notice and without reference to us by the hotelier. Our prices have been adjusted to reflect such an eventuality, but if their withdrawal materially affects your enjoyment, it is in both our interests for you to advise the management and contact our resort representative immediately, so that corrective action can be taken during your stay. |
HEATED SWIMMING POOLS |
---|
You will understand that the hotels only heat their swimming pools during cold weather and subject to the number of clients in residence. The decision must, of course, rest with the management of the establishment. |

We will do our best to ensure that the management of your accommodation meets any specific requests, but we cannot guarantee or confirm these prior to your departure. While we will request an extra bed, for a third person to share a twin room – and offer a reduction – you may find space limited. We will not accept liability or responsibility should you then consider the accommodation to be overcrowded. NOTE: Beds for children may not be full size and could be folding or camp bed in style.

HOLIDAY DURATIONS
|
---|
The price panels show the number of night’s accommodation, which can be booked. If you book a night flight, you arrive in the early hours of the morning, but as accommodation is booked from mid-day on the day of travel, this always counts as the first night of the holiday. Similarly, 7 or 14 nights later, though your flight may not leave until the early hours of the morning, you will be expected to Check-Out by mid day. If you wish to keep accommodation until you leave for the airport, you should add one extra night to the holiday and book accordingly. |

OUR RESPONSIBIIITY
|
---|
We try to ensure that every holiday in our brochure has been properly arranged and that all components conform to reasonable standards. If any segment is not as advertised and it can be proven this has affected enjoyment we will pay appropriate compensation providing you comply with our “Complaints Procedures”. We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that all suppliers contracted by us are efficient, safe, and reputable and comply with English laws and regulations. However, though we have no direct control over their operations, we will compensate you for any acts and/or omissions should services be proven to be deficient or below reasonable standards. Similarly, we will accept responsibility for personal injury (including illness and death), which results from the proven negligence – (as defined in English law) of our employees or those of our contracted or sub-contracted suppliers who, whilst acting in the course of their employment, provide any segment of holidays in this brochure. However, in the cases of air or sea transport our liability will be limited to the relevant International Conventions, which relate to the method of travel and the conditions of carriage of the relevant carriers (copies of which are available on request from our office). Note:
If a personal injury -including illness or death – result from any activity which does not form part of the booked holiday yet is the responsibility of a third party; we will in our discretion provide reasonable assistance to help resolve a claim against such persons. This subject to our spending as appropriate, no more than £5000.00 on behalf of any or all parties named on the booking form. Note: if covered by TravelUp Ltd T/A Bravo Travel insurance you will be required to claim any legal fees incurred during your vacation from insurers under the “Legal Expenses” clauses of the policy. If you have your own policy, you should ensure this makes provision for such expenses. We reserve the right to decline anyone as a client, or to terminate their holiday should their behaviour in our reasonable opinion be disruptive or likely to affect the safety or enjoyment of others. We will not accept liability for any costs or consequential losses incurred by a client should we or our representatives, have to take any necessary action in such situations. Similarly we do not accept responsibility if authorities at your destination or the Captain of your aircraft refuse entry or permission to board an aircraft. If such circumstances arise, we will not accept liability for refunds, costs or losses, which result from such actions. |
COMPLAINTS |
---|
We accept there may be occasions when a segment of your holiday causes a problem. Where we are aware of developments, these have been indicated in the resort descriptions in our brochure. Similarly, when we become aware of a specific development which could affect a holiday, we will advise travel agents and affected clients as soon as is reasonably possible, preferably prior to departure. If this has not been possible and there is a reasonable, valid complaint the facts must be reported to our local representative immediately. (A contact telephone number will be included with your travel documents). Should the problem remain unresolved you must ask for a Report Form, so that the complaint can be formally recorded. You should then follow up your complaint by writing to our Customer Relations Department, (quoting your Booking and Report form numbers) within 28 days of return. If a complaint is not notified in this way, we will be unable to investigate or accept liability. Normally we aim to reach an amicable settlement on a valid complaint but if this is not possible, the matter can be referred to ABTA (The Association of British Travel Agents) for independent arbitration by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The Scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA website (www.abta.com). The Scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £15,000 per booking form. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. The application for arbitration and Statement of Claim must be received by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators within nine months of the date of return from the holiday. Outside this time limit arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if the company agrees, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. |

Even in this case, we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the holiday price which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges Only amounts in excess of this 2% will be surcharged but where a surcharge is payable there will be an administration charge of £1 together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means paying more than 10% of the holiday price, you will be entitled to cancel your holiday with a full refund of all money paid except for any premium paid to us for holiday insurance and amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel because of this, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on the invoice. |
