BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS
These Booking Terms and Conditions, together with our privacy policy and, where your holiday is booked via our website, our website terms and conditions of use, together with any other written information we brought to your attention before we confirmed your booking, form the basis of your contract with Bilyana Golf (UK) Limited, whose registered office is at UNIT 2 The Kathleen Roylance Buildings 90-92 Waters Green Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK11 6LH, Company No: 06130760 (“we” or “us”). Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. In these Booking Conditions references to "you" and "your" include the first named person on the booking and all persons on whose behalf a booking is made or any other person to whom a booking is added or transferred.
By making a booking, the first named person on the booking agrees on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that:
Please Note: We act in the following capacities, as a Package Organiser in the sale of a Package holiday and as a principal in the sale of
a ‘single service’ booking (e.g. accommodation or golf arrangements only).
As a result, our obligations to you will vary depending upon whether you book a Package with us or whether you make a single service booking. We have tried to set out our differing obligations below as clearly as possible.
(A) Section A contains the conditions that will apply to all bookings you make with us;
(B) Section B contains the conditions which will apply when you make a Package booking with us where we act as the Package Organiser; and
(C) Section C contains the conditions which will apply when you make a single service booking with us, where we act as principal.
A booking is made with us when you pay us a deposit (or full payment if you are booking within 56 days of departure) and we issue you with a booking confirmation. We reserve the right to return your payment and decline to issue a confirmation at our absolute discretion. A binding contract will come into existence between you and us as soon as we have issued you with a booking confirmation.
If your confirmed arrangements include a flight, we will also issue you with an ATOL Certificate. Upon receipt, if you believe that any details on the ATOL Certificate or booking confirmation or any other document are wrong you must advise us immediately as changes can not be made later and it may harm your rights if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document within ten days of our sending it out (five days for tickets).
We endeavour to ensure that all the information and prices both on our website and in any advertising material that we publish are accurate, however, occasionally changes and errors occur and we reserve the right to correct prices and other details in such circumstances. You must check the current price and all other details relating to the arrangements that you wish to book before your booking is confirmed.
Adequate travel insurance is strongly recommended. You must be satisfied that your insurance fully covers all your personal requirements including pre-existing medical conditions, cancellation charges, medical expenses and repatriation in the event of accident or illness. We strongly suggest that your insurance policy include provisions relating to Covid-19 covering you for situations including but not limited to, where you have been diagnosed with Covid-19 before your departure or where you have otherwise been in contact with someone that has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are required to self-isolate. It should also cover you for Covid-19 related circumstances during your holiday, for example, where you have been diagnosed or have been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 during your holiday. In these circumstances, your policy should cover you for repatriation where necessary, emergency medical expenses abroad and additional costs of accommodation and/or transport if you need to self-isolate and extend your stay. Please ensure that your insurance policy covers repatriation for you and all members of your party if it is a group policy, otherwise each individual will need their own travel insurance policy to over for repatriation as we will not be liable for any additional costs, fees or charges incurred by you or any member of your party in booking additional transport, including flights. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by any event which we or the supplier(s) of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. These events can include, but are not limited to war, threat of war, civil strife, terrorist activity and its consequences or the threat of such activity, riot, epidemics, pandemics and significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination (including the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic), the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to or remain at the travel destination, nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster,, unavoidable technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our or the supplier(s) concerned’s control. Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute Events Beyond Our Control.
If you are forced to return home early, we cannot refund the cost of any travel arrangements you have not used. If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided, we will not offer you any refund for that part of your holiday not completed, or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.
Any special requests must be advised to us at the time of booking. You should then confirm your requests in writing. Whilst every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met.
We are not a specialist disabled holiday company but we will do our utmost to cater for any special requirements you may have. If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your trip, please provide us with full details before we confirm your booking so that we can try to advise you as to the suitability of your chosen arrangements. We may require you to produce a doctor’s certificate certifying that you are fit to participate in the holiday. Acting reasonably, if we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges when we become aware of these details.
We make every effort to ensure that your arrangements run smoothly but if you do have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant supplier
immediately who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please contact us on info@bilyanagolf.com you can also reach
us by telephone at 01625 800 110 (during office hours) or alternatively via our emergency out of hours contact number on 0090 541 230 7757. If the problem
cannot be resolved and you wish to complain further, you must send formal written notice of your complaint to us at Bilyana Golf, UNIT 2 The Kathleen Roylance
Buildings 90-92 Waters Green Macclesfield, Cheshire, SK11 6LH or by e-mail to info@bilyanagolf.com within 28 days of the end of your stay, giving your booking
reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. This will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed
up our response to you. Failure to follow the procedure set out in this clause may affect ours and the applicable supplier’s ability to investigate
your complaint, and will affect your rights under this contract.

In the event of such termination our liability to you and/or your party will cease and you and/or your party will be required to leave your accommodation or other service immediately. We will have no further obligations to you and/or your party.

Please note we will have no liability for any refunds, compensation, costs, expenses or other losses of any kind incurred by you (including, where applicable, the cost of medical treatment, curtailment
of your holiday, missed transport arrangement and additional accommodation required), in the following circumstances:
(a) Prior to departure, you have been diagnosed or have otherwise been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are no longer
able to travel and/or required to self-isolate;
(b) Prior to departure, you live in a place that has imposed local or national lockdown restrictions and you can no longer travel;
(c) After your departure and during your holiday, you have been diagnosed or have otherwise been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are required to self-isolate.

authority or fail to submit for testing or assessment when requested to do so and as a consequence you are denied boarding,
denied entry to the destination or otherwise denied access to any of your travel arrangements.
If you cancel your booking due to any of the above circumstances, we will do our best to assist you by offering alternative dates for your booking or simply postponing your booking to the same dates for the following year. If the date change means that the cost of your holiday increases, you will be liable to pay this increase. If you choose not to change the dates of your booking and cancel for any of the reasons above, our standard cancellation charges will apply. If the reason for your cancellation or curtailment is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges and we suggest any claim is made directly with your insurer.
In response to the Covid-19 global crisis, each destination has implemented their own health and safety measures and precautions in an attempt to combat the spread of the disease. Specific regions and resorts have also introduced their own health and safety measures in line with government advice (local or national), depending on their capacity and ability to take certain precautions. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of and comply with the measures that are in place at the travel destination, resort or other accommodation you have booked, Health and safety measures and requirements may also vary for each activity, tour and other excursions and travel arrangements you have booked.
Certain measures may be mandatory and it is essential that you and any members of your party comply with and respect any local and national health and safety measures throughout the duration of your holiday as you could face penalties for failing to do so. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, social distancing, the use of facemasks both indoors and outdoors, a maximum number of households or people in the accommodation or other facilities and restrictions on the use of certain facilities. We will not be liable for any costs, fees, charges or penalties you incur from your failure to comply with any mandatory requirements or measures.
Where possible, we will make you aware in advance of any mandatory measures that are in place at your travel destination and/or in place at any of the travel arrangements that you have booked. However, it is your responsibility to check the measures and requirements that are in place at your travel destination and ensure you are checking these regularly before your departure date. For further information we suggest you visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice and search for the country(ies) you are planning to travel to, as well as the website and/or terms and conditions of your specific travel arrangements.
It is your responsibility to check the entry requirement for the destination(s) you are travelling to as many countries have introduced additional entry requirements.
Entry requirements may include, but are not limited to, proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken at a certain point prior to your departure date, additional Covid-19 test(s) taken at certain points during your holiday or proof of a Covid-19 vaccination (or multiple doses of vaccine) from a recognised provider. In addition to these requirements, you may be required to complete and present additional travel documentation beforehand detailing any destination you have travelled through/visited recently and whether you have been diagnosed or been in contact with anyone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 recently. If you fail to complete and/or present the above when required, or if you fail any health check, you may be denied boarding and entry to your travel destination(s). We do not accept responsibility if you cannot travel and we are not liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur if you have not complied with the requirements or if you fail any health check. Unless stated otherwise, you will be responsible for the cost of any Covid-19 tests that you are required to have before and/or after your departure.
Entry requirements are likely to differ for each country and may change before your departure date. Therefore, it is important that you keep up to date with the entry requirements that are in place for your travel destination(s).
Where possible, we will make you aware in advance of any entry requirements that apply to your travel destination(s) and will attempt to notify you without delay if any of the entry requirements change before your departure date but it is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the above and regularly check for the most up to date information up until the point of your departure. For further information on entry requirements, please visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice and search for the country(ies) you are planning to travel to.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) currently advises against all but essential travel to a number of destinations because of COVID-19. The FCDO update the advice on a regular basis and often at very short notice. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of this advice and keep up to date with it and we do strongly suggest you check this advice regularly up until your departure. Please visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice for further information and search for the country(ies) you are planning to travel to.
If the FCDO update their advice after your booking and now advise against all but essential travel to your chosen destination, we will do our best to assist by offering alternative options. For example, if we operate in other destinations then we may offer you the chance of alternative travel arrangements if they are available and subject to additional cost. Alternatively, you will have the choice to change the date of your booking, postpone your booking to the same dates the following year or cancel and receive a full refund from us.
Where your booking is for a Package holiday that we have organised, as defined below, we will act as a “Package Organiser” and you will receive the rights and benefits under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (“PTRs”), as outlined in this Section B of these Booking Terms and Conditions.
A “Package holiday” exists if you book a combination of two of the following separate travel services: (a) transport;
(b) accommodation;
(c) rental of cars, motor vehicles or motorcycles (in certain circumstances);
(d) any other tourist service not intrinsically part of one of the above travel services; provided that those separate travel services are
purchased together from a single visit to our website / during a single phone call with our telephone booking line and are selected by you before you
agree to pay; or are advertised, sold or charged at an inclusive or total price; or advertised or sold under the term “package” or a similar term.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that:
a. where you have booked a Package that lasts for less than 24 hours and which does not include overnight accommodation; or
b. where you have made a booking which consists of not more than one type of the travel services listed at (a) – (c) above, combined with one or more tourist services (as listed at (d) above),
this will not create a Package where the tourist services:
These bookings will be treated as “Single Service” bookings and will not be afforded the benefit of the rights under the PTRs, please see Section C of these Booking Terms and Conditions for the terms applicable to such arrangements.
Where there is a EURO (€) price in your quote, this is the source price from our suppliers and is fixed. We can give a GBP (£) price based on the current EURO-GBP exchange rates but please note that the time you balance payment is due, the exchange rate of that day will be used. Where you see only GBP (£) price quotes, this is a fixed price and will not change according to any exchange rate fluctuation.
1. the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from the cost of fuel; or
2. the level of taxes or fees chargeable for services applicable to the holiday imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes,
landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; or
3. the exchange rates used to calculate your arrangements.
Such variations could include but are not limited to cost changes which are part of our contracts with transport providers and any other suppliers.
We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements. You will be charged for the amount over and above that.
If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your confirmed travel arrangements (excluding any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements), you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us, except for any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 7 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice.
Should the price of your arrangements go down due to the changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. There will be no change made to the price of your confirmed arrangements within 20 days of your departure nor will refunds be paid during this period.
If you wish to change any part of your booked arrangements after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you must inform us in writing as soon as possible. This should be done by the first named person on the booking. Whilst we will do our best to assist, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet your requested change. Where we can meet a request, all changes will be subject to payment of any applicable rate changes or extra costs incurred as well as a £5 per person administration fee and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Where we are unable to assist you and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking we will treat this as a cancellation by you. A cancellation fee may be payable.
Transfer of Booking: If any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else, if that someone else is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the arrangements, if we are notified not less than 28 days before departure and you pay any outstanding balance payment, an amendment fee of £50 per person transferring, as well as any additional costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers and the transferee agrees to these Booking Conditions and all other terms of the contract between us. You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services.
Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended or transferred after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.
If you or any member of your party decides to cancel your confirmed booking you must notify us in writing via email or post. Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us at our offices and will be effective from the date on which we receive it. If you are notifying us of your cancellation, we recommend that you use recorded delivery. Since we incur costs in cancelling your arrangements, you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges as set out below. The cancellation charge detailed is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding amendment charges which are not refundable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling. Please note that some of the suppliers will not cancel bookings if time of travel is less than 90 days
| Period before departure within which notice of Cancellation by you is received |
Amount of cancellation charge |
|---|---|
| More than 56 days prior to departure | Loss of deposit |
| Between 56 to 28 days prior to departure | 40% of total holiday cost |
| Less than 28 days prior to departure | 100% of total holiday cost |
Note: Flight costs are non-refundable in the event that you cancel. Furthermore, certain arrangements may not be amended after they have been confirmed and any alteration or cancellation could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements in addition to the charge above
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.
We will deduct the cancellation charge(s) from any monies you have already paid to us.
You have the right to cancel your confirmed holiday before departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” occurring at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the holiday or significantly affecting the transport arrangements to the destination. In these circumstances, we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against travel to your destination or its immediate vicinity. For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” means warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination.
This clause outlines the rights you have if you wish to cancel a Package booking where we are acting as the Package Organiser. Please note that there is no automatic statutory right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013
As we plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance we may occasionally have to make changes or cancel your booking and we reserve the right to do so at any time.
Changes: If we make a minor change to your holiday, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure but we will have no liability to you. Examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard, changes of carriers. Please note that carriers such as airlines used in our advertising material may be subject to change.
Occasionally we may have to make a significant change to your confirmed arrangements. Examples of “significant changes” include the following, when made before departure:
Please Note: Golf courses reserve the right to make changes to your tee times where they see necessary. If a golf club do cancel or change your tee time, we will endeavour to find you a suitable alternative. You will be charged for any increase in price or refunded any difference from the original cost. Overseeding schedules, course maintenance and operating times may be changed by the golf courses without prior notice which may affect your tee times and/ or dates of play. These changes do not entitle you to cancel an already booked holiday. Apart from scheduled overseeding, continuous maintenance of fairways, greens and tee boxes is an essential part of course presentation. Bilyana Golf Holidays cannot be held liable for the impact of such work on your game.
Cancellation: We will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 56 days before your departure date (unless stated otherwise at the time of booking), except for Events Beyond Our Control or failure by you to pay the final balance. We may cancel your holiday before this date if, e.g., the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of:
1.(for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements;
2.having a refund of all monies paid; or
3.if available and where we offer one, accepting an offer of an alternative holiday (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value).
You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If we do not hear from you within 7 days, we will contact you again to request notification of your choice. If you fail to do so we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements.
In addition to a full refund of all monies paid by you, we will pay you compensation as detailed below, in the following circumstances:
| Period before departure which we notify you | Amount you will receive from us* |
|---|---|
| More than 56 days | £10 |
| Between 56 to 28 days | £20 |
| Less than 28 days | £30 |
IMPORTANT NOTE:We will not pay you compensation in the following circumstances:
If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the services that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and, if appropriate in all the circumstances, will pay you reasonable compensation.
(1) We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an “organiser” under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 as set out below and as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of all travel services included in your package, as set out in your booking confirmation. Subject to these Booking Terms and Conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange the services and we don’t remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of time, and this has affected the enjoyment of your package holiday you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in your package. The level of such price reduction or compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: following the complaints procedure as described in these Booking Terms and Conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees’ or suppliers’ negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your holiday. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.
(2) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description if it results from:
(a) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected; or
(b) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or
(c) Events Beyond Our Control.
(3) We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this clause:
(a) loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money: The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are assumed to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.
(b) Claims not falling under (a) above and which don’t involve injury, illness or death: The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is up to three times the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you or your party has not received any benefit at all from your booking.
(b) Claims in respect of international travel by air, sea and rail, or any stay in a hotel
i) The extent of our liability will in all cases be limited as if we were carriers under the appropriate Conventions, which include The Warsaw/Montreal Convention (international travel by air) and
The Paris Convention (with respect to hotel arrangements). You can ask for copies of these Conventions from our offices. Please contact us. In addition, you agree that the operating carrier
or transport company's own 'Conditions of Carriage' will apply to you on that journey. When arranging transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these
international conventions and those 'Conditions of Carriage'. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those 'Conditions of Carriage' form part of your contract
with us, as well as with the transport company and that those 'Conditions of Carriage' shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract.
ii) In any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you by virtue of EC 261/2004 (denied boarding and flight disruption), any liability we may have to you under our contract with
you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier.
iii) When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question.
(4) It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under this clause that you notify any claim to ourselves and our supplier(s) strictly in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in these conditions.
(5) Where any payment is made, the person(s) receiving it (and their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to ourselves or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require.
(6) Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description: (a) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you; or (b) relate to any business; or (c) is an indirect or consequential loss of any kind.
(7) We will not accept responsibility for services or facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are not advertised in our brochure. For example any excursion you book whilst away, or any service or facility which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you.
(8) Where it is impossible for you to return to your departure point as per the agreed return date of your package, due to “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances”, we shall provide you with any necessary accommodation (where possible, of a comparable standard) for a period not exceeding three nights per person. Please note that the 3 night cap does not apply to persons with reduced mobility, pregnant women or unaccompanied minors, nor to persons needing specific medical assistance, provided we have been notified of these particular needs at least 48 hours before the start of your holiday. For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” mean warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely back to your departure point.
If, whilst you are on holiday, you find yourself in difficult for any reason, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we will provide you with appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and assistance with distance communications and finding alternative arrangements. Where you require assistance which is not owing to any failure by us, our employees or sub-contractors, we will not be liable for the costs of any alternative travel arrangements or other such assistance you require. Any supplier, airline or other transport supplier may however pay for or provide refreshments and/or appropriate accommodation and you should make a claim directly to them. Subject to the other terms of these Booking Terms and Conditions, we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur in the above circumstances, if you fail to obtain our prior authorisation before making your own travel arrangements. Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for our assistance in the event that the difficulty is caused by you or a member of your party, or otherwise through you or your party’s negligence
If You Change or Cancel your single service booking
If, after confirmation, you wish to change your booking in any way, we will endeavour to make these changes if they are possible. Where we can meet a request, all changes may be subject to payment of an amendment fee of £5 per person per change, as well as any costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers in making this change.

Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us at our offices and will be effective from the date on which we receive it. The person to notify us of any cancellation must be the same person that originally signed the booking form.
Should one or more member of a party cancel, it may increase the per person holiday price of those still travelling and you will be liable to pay this increase

We may in exceptional circumstances be required to cancel your booking in which case a full refund of all monies paid will be made to you.
We regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses that you may incur as a result of change or cancellation.
Very rarely, we may be forced due to Events Beyond Our Control to change or terminate all or some of your arrangements after departure. If this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to
pay you compensation or meet any additional costs or expenses you incur as a result.
(1) Subject to the remainder of this clause, we have a duty to select the suppliers of the services making up your booking with us with reasonable skill and care. We have no liability to you for the actual provision of the services, except in cases where it is proved that we have breached that duty and damage to you has been caused. Therefore, providing we have selected the suppliers/subcontractors with reasonable skill and care, we will have no liability to you for anything that happens during the service in question or any acts or omissions of the supplier, its employees or agents.
