Occasionally, it may be necessary to make changes to your holiday, and the Company reserves the right to do so at any time. You will be notified of any changes at the earliest possible opportunity. If a major change to your tour is necessary, and it does not arise from circumstances beyond the Company's control, you may choose:
- to accept the change of arrangements;
- to purchase another holiday from us;
- to cancel your holiday.
- Compensation may be payable in cases of major change as detailed below:
- No compensation will be payable for minor changes. Minor changes include minimal changes to departure and arrival times, changes to the type of aircraft used, and restaurant and accommodation changes to a comparable or superior standard.
- Major changes include cancellation, changes to your airport, delays in departure or return by more than 12 hours, and accommodation changes to an inferior standard.
- Compensation will not be paid for changes or cancellations caused by Acts of God (Force Majeure), war, threat of war, riot, civil strike, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or man-made disaster, fire, technical problems with transport, closure or congestion of airports, strikes or other industrial action, adverse weather conditions, or any other event beyond the Company's control. It is essential that you take out adequate travel insurance.
- The Company reserves the right to cancel your holiday at any time before the date of departure, even after a confirmation notice has been sent. If your holiday is cancelled, the Company will refund in full the money you have already paid. No compensation will be payable.
- Transportation is subject to the conditions of carriage of the carrier, some of which may limit or exclude liability. These conditions are often the subject of international agreements between countries, and copies of the conditions that apply to your holiday journey will normally be found on the carrier's tickets.
- If you fail to pay the balance of the holiday price at least 30 days before departure, the Company will treat the booking as cancelled and levy the cancellation charges set out below:
- The Company also has the right to refuse any person as a member of the tour if, in their opinion, that person could endanger the health, safety, and enjoyment of others on the tour. In any of the events mentioned above, the Company-s sole liability and the client's sole remedy will be limited to a refund of any monies paid, less the amount for services already utilized plus administrative fees.
