For our day trips and UK holidays

These Booking Conditions form the basis of your contract with us. Please read carefully as it applies to all bookings you make with us unless otherwise specified. All trips arranged by us are operated in accordance with The Package and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (“PTRs”). In these Booking Conditions, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ reference Just Days Out, “You” means all persons named on the booking including anyone who is added or substituted at a later stage (or any of them as the context requires). References to “departure” are to the start date of the trip arrangements booked with us. For online and telephone bookings, we will communicate with you by e-mail if you have provided us with your e-mail address for this purpose. You must check your e-mails on a regular basis. We may also contact you by telephone and/or post if we cannot, for whatever reason, contact you by e-mail or we consider it appropriate to do so. Travel documents are sent by post or by e-mail. Except where otherwise stated, you may contact us by e-mail for any of the reasons mentioned in our Booking Conditions providing you contact us at sales@JustDaysOut.co.uk. On sea/river cruising trips, the terms and conditions of the cruise operator apply in addition to these conditions. Copies of these terms and conditions are available on request. Where there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the cruise operator and these Booking Conditions, the relevant provision of these Booking Conditions will take precedence. Your contract for all sea/ river cruising trips will be with us.

 

BOOKING PAYMENT

You must pay a deposit per person (as shown in our applicable brochure and on our website) together with all applicable insurance premiums (if you wish to purchase the travel insurance we offer) at the time of booking. The balance of the price of the trip is due for payment no less than 28 days before departure for all non-package bookings unless otherwise stated. For bookings made on or after the balance due date, the full amount is due at the time of booking. The person making the booking accepts responsibility for paying for all the people on the booking. You must be at least 18 years old to make a booking with us.

 

OUR AGREEMENT

A contract is made when we verbally confirm your booking or, if you make your booking online, when it is confirmed by the issue of an electronic confirmation and invoice at the end of the booking process. For all bookings (other than bookings confirmed online), we will endeavour to email/post our confirmation to you within 7 days of confirming your booking for all bookings. You must check all documents we send you carefully as soon as you receive them and advise us immediately if anything appears to be inaccurate or incomplete. We cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy (for which we are responsible) in any document within 14 days of us sending it out (or in the case of travel documents/tickets, 5 days). We both agree that English law will apply to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description which arises between us (“claim”) except as set out below. We both also agree that any claim (and whether or not involving any personal injury) must be dealt with by the courts of England and Wales only unless, in the case of court proceedings, you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the courts of your home country or those of England and Wales. If proceedings are brought in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may choose to have your contract and any claim governed by the law of Scotland/ Northern Ireland, as applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply).

 

CANCELLATION BY YOU

You may cancel your confirmed booking at any time before departure. You may also transfer your booking as referred to below. If you want to cancel your booking after we have confirmed it, you must do so by email or in writing by posting or hand delivering it to us. Your notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is received in writing by us at our offices. We will ask you to pay cancellation charges per person on the scale shown below based on your original booking departure date. Any payment received in excess of the applicable cancellation charge will of course be refunded.

Cancellation prior to the balance due date will incur a loss of deposit including any pre-booked excursions, insurance and/or amendment fees.

Cancellation 28 days or less prior to travel will incur 100% cancellation fee

You may be able to make a claim under your travel insurance policy if your cancellation falls within the conditions of the policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned. Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price and/or any concessions (including free places for group bookings) agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly.

 

TRIP ALTERATION BY YOU

You may transfer your booking or your place on the booking to someone else (introduced by you) without payment of our cancellation charges provided the person to whom you are making the transfer satisfies all the conditions which form part of your contract with us. Requests for a transfer must be made in writing at least 7 days prior to departure and must be accompanied by the name and other applicable details of the replacement person. Where a transfer to a person of your choice can be made, all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers as a result, together with an amendment fee of £25 per person, must be paid before the transfer can be implemented.

Should you wish to make any other changes to your booking, please advise us as soon as possible. Whilst we cannot guarantee changes can be made, we will endeavour to meet requests if we can. Where we are able to do so, there will be an amendment fee of £25 per person.

 

ALTERATIONS AND CANCELLATIONS BY US (1)

Changes to confirmed trip arrangements sometimes have to be made and we reserve the right to do so in accordance with this Clause 5. Most changes will be insignificant and we have the right to make these. Where an insignificant change is made before departure, we will notify you in writing. No compensation is payable for insignificant changes. Occasionally, before departure, we may be constrained by circumstances beyond our control to make a significant alteration to any of the main characteristics of the travel services which form part of your confirmed booking or to any special requirements which we have accepted as referred to in Clause 11. Where we have to do so, Clauses 5(4) and 5(5) will apply. (2) All alterations which are not significant in accordance with Clause 5(1) will be treated as insignificant changes. (3) Many of our trips require a minimum number of bookings to enable us to operate them and we reserve the right to cancel any trip where this minimum number is not achieved. The minimum number applicable to any particular trip depends on a number of factors. Failure to achieve the applicable minimum number does not, however, oblige us to cancel. (4) In the event we have to significantly alter any of the main characteristics of your confirmed arrangements or accepted special requirements, we will provide you with the following information in writing as soon as possible: (i) the proposed alteration and any impact this has on the price; (ii) in the event that you do not wish to accept the alteration, details of any substitute package we are able to offer (including the applicable price); (iii) your entitlement to cancel your booking and receive a full refund if you do not want to accept the alteration or any substitute package offered; and (iv) the period within which you must inform us of your decision and what will happen if you don’t do so. (5) If you choose to cancel your booking in accordance with Clause 5(4), we will refund all payments you have made to us within 14 days of the date we receive your instruction to cancel. If we don’t hear from you with your decision within the specified period (having provided you with the above mentioned information for a second time), we will cancel your booking and refund all payments made to us within 14 days of our doing so. No compensation will be payable or other liability accepted where a change results from unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see Clause 6). (6) Occasionally, it may be necessary to cancel confirmed trip arrangements. We have the right to terminate your contract in the event (i) we are prevented from performing your contracted trip arrangements as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see Clause 6) and we notify you of this as soon as reasonably possible or (ii) we have to cancel because the minimum number of bookings necessary for us to operate your trip has not been achieved and we notify you of cancellation for this reason as referred to in Clause 5(3). Where we have to cancel your trip in these circumstances, we will refund all monies you have paid to us within 14 days of the date we inform you of the cancellation but will have no further or other liability to you including in respect of compensation or any costs or expenses you incur or have incurred. We will of course endeavour to offer you comparable alternative arrangements where possible which you may choose to book in place of those cancelled. We also have the right to cancel if you fail to make payment in accordance with the terms of your contract in which case Clause 3 will apply. (7) If we have to make a significant alteration as referred to in Clause 5(1) or cancel as referred to in Clause 5(6), we will, where compensation is appropriate, pay you compensation subject to the exceptions to the payment of compensation referred to in Clauses 5(5) and 5(6). (8) In the event that unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see Clause 6) occur in the place of destination of your tour or its immediate vicinity which significantly affects the performance of the contracted arrangements or the carriage of passengers to that destination, you will be entitled to cancel prior to departure without payment of cancellation charges. We will notify you as soon as practicable in the event of this situation occurring.

 

UNAVOIDABLE AND EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance, or prompt performance, of our contractual obligations to you is prevented or affected, or you otherwise suffer any damage, loss or expense of any nature, as a result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. In these Booking Conditions, unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances mean a situation which is beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Such situations are likely to include (whether actual or threatened) war, riot, civil strife or unrest, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions (including flooding and exceptionally high or low water levels on rivers), coach breakdown or accident, fire, pandemics/epidemics, closure, restriction or congestion of airports, ports, stations, other transport hubs or airspace, flight or port restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority or other third party and volcanic activity. Unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances will also include the UK Foreign Office advising against all travel or all but essential travel to any country, region or destination where relevant to your trip. River and Coastal Cruises Occasionally, water levels may vary to the extent that the operation of the cruise ships on our river or coastal cruising programme is affected. It is ultimately the Captain’s decision regarding the running order of the itinerary and any changes which may be necessary. This situation constitutes unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances. In the event that any resulting change is significant or the cruise has to be cancelled, Clause 5 will apply. However, no compensation will be payable and we will not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred as a result.

 

ITINERARY CHANGES

It may be necessary, sometimes at short notice or without any prior notice, to make changes to an itinerary due to weather, traffic or road conditions and other circumstances outside our control. Regrettably, coaches, trains, and ships do occasionally break down or suffer mechanical or technical problems, or certain facilities on board a coach, train or ship may become faulty/unavailable. Every effort will be made to rectify such issues as quickly as possible. In some instances it may be necessary to replace the vehicle or aircraft which cannot be repaired. We cannot accept any responsibility for delays caused by any form of breakdown.

 

TRAVEL DELAY (1)

Whilst we try to avoid delays to your sea crossing/tunnel crossing, unfortunately, they occasionally happen. If there is a delay, we will endeavour to minimise any discomfort by providing extra services to you (in the event of delay to your rail/ferry/cruise departure, responsibility for any refreshments, meals and where necessary, overnight accommodation, rests with the carrier). These additional services, as shown below, are subject to availability and the prevailing circumstances. We shall not be responsible for reimbursement of any payment you have to make unless we have given our agreement beforehand. (2) If your ferry or cruise ship is cancelled or delayed the operator of the services, be required to pay you compensation within the EU under EC Regulation 1177/2010 – the Passenger Rights Regulations 2010. Where applicable, you must pursue the carrier for the compensation or other payment due to you. All sums you receive or are entitled to receive from transport represent the full amount of your entitlement to compensation or any other payment arising from such cancellation or delay applicable. This includes any disappointment, distress, inconvenience or effect on any other arrangements. The fact a delay may entitle you to cancel the transport arrangements concerned does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with those transport arrangements. We have no liability to make any payment to you in relation to any ferry or cruise delay or cancellation. If, for any reason, we make any payment to you or a third party which the ferry or cruise operator is responsible for in accordance with the Passenger Rights Regulations, you must, when requested, assign to us the rights you have or had to claim the payment in question from the ferry or cruise operator.

 

ARTISTS, CONCERTS, ENTERTAINMENTS AND RIDES

We cannot accept responsibility for the non-appearance of any artist or the cancellation / withdrawal / closure / curtailment / other change of any concert / event / parade / play / entertainment / ride / swimming pool for whatever reason. Should any such situation arise, the trip arrangements will still proceed. We will not always be in a position to advise you in advance of any such cancellation etc. Such situations will not constitute a significant alteration to your trip arrangements entitling you to cancel or change to another trip without paying our normal charges.

 

CONDITIONS OF SUPPLIERS

Many of the services which make up your trip are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable international conventions (see Clause 15 (6)). Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from ourselves or the supplier concerned.

 

SPECIAL REQUESTS

We will endeavour to pass on any reasonable requests to the relevant supplier (e.g. dietary, cots, ground floor accommodation), but cannot promise that any request will be honoured. We may not always be able to tell you before you leave if the supplier cannot meet your special request. For your own protection, you should obtain confirmation in writing from us that your request will be complied with (where it is possible for us to give this) if your request is important to you. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier, or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation, is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed in writing, all special requests are subject to availability. Any special requirement which we have accepted will be specifically confirmed as accepted on your confirmation invoice.

 

COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

Should you have a complaint about any aspect of your trip, you must notify one of the coach crew, or one of our representatives, together with the supplier of the services in question, immediately so that the problem can be quickly resolved during your trip or alternatively contact our 24 hour emergency number whilst on tour as shown on your travel documents. Failure to report any issues in resort could invalidate any claims made upon your return. If the matter cannot be resolved to your satisfaction straight away, you must immediately email us with details of your complaint.

 

TRIP INSURANCE

We fully recommend that you have adequate insurance for all bookings. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs.

 

PRICING POLICY

The prices shown in our media are regularly updated on the basis of known costs and exchange rates. Once the price of your chosen trip has been confirmed at the time of booking, we guarantee not to increase it.

 

OUR LIABILITY (EVENTS CONNECTED WITH YOUR BOOKING)

(1) We promise to make sure that the booking arrangements we have agreed to make, perform or provide as applicable as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that, subject to these Booking Conditions, we will accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal injury, or your contracted booking arrangements are not provided as promised, or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted trip arrangements. PLEASE NOTE: it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what our employees, agents and suppliers do, or do not do, if they were, at the time, acting within the course of their employment (for employees), or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for agents and suppliers). (2) We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example, loss of enjoyment or loss of possessions), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any nature or description whatsoever which results from any of the following: the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected; or the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your trip and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances as defined in Clause 6. (3) We cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised in our relevant brochure or on our website as forming part of the trip you have booked and we have not agreed to arrange them as part of our contract and any excursion you purchase during your trip. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any of our brochures or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you. (4) The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract, and the laws and applicable standards of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred, will be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided. If the particular services which gave rise to the claim or complaint complied with the applicable local laws and standards, the services will be treated as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and standards of the UK which would have applied had those services been provided in the UK. The exception to this is where the claim or complaint concerns the absence of a safety feature which might lead a reasonable trip maker to refuse to take the trip in question. Please note, however, our obligation is to exercise reasonable skill and care as referred to in Clause 15(1). We do not make any representation or commitment that all services will comply with applicable local laws and standards and failure to comply does not automatically mean we have not exercised reasonable skill and care. (5) Your luggage and other personal possessions are your responsibility and you must look after them at all times. You must ensure they are protected by an appropriate travel insurance policy which provides a suitable level of cover given the nature and value of your possessions. All valuable and important items (including money, jewellery, medicines, cameras, phones, i-pads / tablets and other electronic equipment) must be carried by hand and not packed in your luggage and/or left unsecured on the coach or in your accommodation. Please consider carefully whether you need to take such items with you at all. You must ensure that all luggage which is to be carried in the luggage hold of the coach is properly loaded and promptly collected. Train companies and other carriers have their own terms and conditions which include procedures for reporting lost or damaged luggage and limitations and exclusions of liability, usually in accordance with international convention. You must make a claim for any loss or damage directly to your insurance company or to any carrier (where applicable). We do not accept liability for any luggage and personal possessions unless you are able to demonstrate that any damage or loss was caused intentionally or negligently by our employees or suppliers. Except as set out in Clause 15(6) or as otherwise permitted by English law, we do not limit the amount of damages you are entitled to claim in respect of personal injury or death which we or our employees have caused intentionally or negligently. For all other claims, if we are found liable to you on any basis, the maximum amount we will have to pay you is three times the total tour cost (excluding any insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total, unless a lower limitation applies to your claim under Clause 15(6). This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from your trip.(6) Where any claim, or part of a claim (including those involving death or personal injury), concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including without limitation, the process of getting on and/or off the transport concerned) provided by any sea, inland waterway or rail carrier to which any international convention or EU regulation applies where we have arranged that travel as part of our contract, our liability (including the maximum amount of compensation we will have to pay you, the types of claim and the circumstances in which damages / compensation will be payable) will be limited as if we were the carrier in question as referred to in this Clause 15(6). The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier concerned would have to pay you under the international convention or EU regulation which applies to the travel arrangements in question (for example, the Warsaw Convention as amended or unamended EC Regulation 392/2009 on the liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents and the Athens Convention relating to the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea (as amended by the 2002 Protocol), the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims as amended by the 1996 Protocol or the Convention of 1980 concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) as amended). Where a carrier would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the applicable international convention or EU regulation (including where any claim is not notified and issued in accordance with the time limits stipulated in the applicable convention or EU regulation), we, similarly, are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim, or part of the claim. When making any payment, we will deduct any money which you have received, or are entitled to receive from the carrier for the claim in question. Copies of the applicable international conventions and EU regulations are available from us on request. Please note that strict time limits apply for notifying loss, damage or delay of luggage to the cruise operator. Any proceedings in respect of any claim (including one for personal injury or death) must be brought within 2 years of the date stipulated in the applicable convention or EU regulation. (7) We cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description which (a) on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not reasonably have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (b) did not result from any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our suppliers or (c) relate to any business (including without limitation loss of self-employed earnings).

COVID-19: LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

All parties acknowledge the ongoing COVID-19 global crisis and accept our obligations to comply with any official guidance from governments or local authorities, both in the UK and whilst abroad. Please note that 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), in the following circumstances: If you, or anyone in your booking party, test positive for Covid-19 and have to quarantine for a period of time, or are notified or otherwise become aware that you have, or suspect you may have, come into close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19 (or where they otherwise suspect they may have Covid-19) and have to self-isolate for a period of time. If this happens within 14 days of your departure date, you must contact us as you may no longer be able to travel. We will offer you the following options where possible and subject to availability: Postponing your trip to a later date. We will notify you of any impact on the price the postponement may have (please note that you may have to pay full cancellation charges on some elements of your trip, such as the flight, as well any increase in cost imposed by other suppliers); If not everyone on the booking is affected, you will have the right to transfer your place on the trip to another person nominated by you, subject always to the requirements of clause 3; Cancelling your trip, in which case we will impose our standard cancellation charges as at the date of cancellation by you. You may be able to claim these costs back from your travel insurance. If this happens whilst you are on your trip, please notify us without delay and we will provide such reasonable assistance as we can in the circumstances. However, we will not be responsible for covering the cost of any curtailment of your trip, missed transport arrangements, additional accommodation required, or other associated costs incurred by you. You must ensure you have travel insurance which covers these costs for you. You fail any tests, checks or other measures imposed by a supplier, airline, port or airport, border control authority or other government body or local authority or fail to submit for testing or assessment when requested to do so, and as such you are denied entry to board the flight, entry to the destination, access to the services or you are otherwise unable to proceed with the trip or that portion of the trip. You also acknowledge that the suppliers providing your trip, including airlines, hotels and excursion providers, will need to comply with national and/or local guidance and requirements relating to Covid-19, and have implemented certain measures as a result. This will likely include specific requirements regarding personal protective equipment, such as use of face-masks by staff (and you may be required to wear a face-mask as well), social distancing, maximum number restrictions on the use of certain facilities, designated alternative entrance and exit routes, mandatory hand sanitisation, limited entertainment options and limited food/drink availability. We do not expect these measures to have a significant impact on your enjoyment of the trip and all measures will be taken with the purpose of securing your safety and those around you.

 

PASSENGERS WITH HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS / DISABILITIES / REDUCED MOBILITY

Our trips may not be suitable for people with certain disabilities, medical conditions or significantly reduced mobility. Before you make your booking, we will advise you as to whether the proposed trip arrangements are generally suitable for someone with reduced mobility. However, reduced mobility of course means different things to different individuals as we fully appreciate that individual capabilities, restrictions and requirements are likely to vary considerably. When we refer to reduced mobility, this means any material reduction in mobility whether this is permanent or temporary and whether caused by age or by physical or mental disability or impairment or other cause of disability. If you have a disability or significantly reduced mobility, coaches/other forms of transport can be difficult to get on and off and some of our hotels do not offer ground/lower floor/step free accessible accommodation or lifts/easy access. Many of the excursions on our tours visit places of interest and public buildings. These may not be able to accommodate people with walking difficulties. Excursions which include sightseeing tours may involve walking long distances and sometimes over cobbled or uneven surfaces. We always endeavour to assist if we reasonably can where additional equipment needs to be transported in relation to a disability, medical condition or reduced mobility. However, please bear in mind that coaches are subject to overall weight restrictions and have limited space to accommodate the luggage of all passengers. If we have already agreed to transport such additional equipment for an earlier booking, we may be unable to do so for a later booking for the same coach. This is particularly the case where any such equipment is relatively bulky or heavy. We will not usually be able to carry more than one mobility scooter on a coach. Carriage of any equipment is subject to its individual size, weight and other details, full details of which must be provided at the time of booking. Rail, ferry and cruise operators have their own restrictions on the carriage of such equipment. Should you suffer from any disability, medical condition or significant reduction in mobility which may affect your or other passengers’ trips, you must provide full verbal and written details at the time you book the trip, including any specific requirements you have. Additionally, at the time you book the trip, you must provide verbal and written confirmation that all assistance required will be provided by your travelling companion(s). You must also notify us of any adverse changes or deterioration in the disability or medical condition, or development of any disability or medical condition or material reduction in your mobility after booking. In view of the nature of our trips, we regret we must reserve the right to decline any booking or cancel (in the event of the development, deterioration or adverse change of any disability or medical condition or material reduction in your mobility occurring after confirmation) whenever we reasonably feel unable to accommodate the needs or restrictions of any particular customer or where, in our reasonable opinion, the medical condition, disability or reduced mobility of the customer concerned is likely to have a significant adverse effect on other customers taking the same trip. We further reserve the right to cancel any trip and impose cancellation charges if we are not fully advised of any relevant disability or medical condition or significant reduction in mobility at the time the booking is made and/or promptly notified of any development, adverse change or deterioration occurring after booking. On occasions, the decision to cancel can only be made at the time the person concerned joins the coach/trip for the first time as it may only be apparent at this stage that their disability, medical condition or reduced mobility cannot be accommodated. Any customer affected by a disability or medical condition must ensure they have notified this to their travel insurers, and that their travel insurance provides cover.

 

ASSISTANCE WHILST AWAY

In the event you experience difficulties (of any sort) during your trip, we will provide you with appropriate assistance as soon as reasonably possible including by the provision of appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance and by assisting you to make distance communications and to find alternative travel arrangements as may be applicable. Where you are in difficulty as a result of your negligence, we may charge you a reasonable fee for this assistance which will not exceed the costs we actually incur.

 BEHAVIOUR

When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be paid direct at the time to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier. If the actual cost of the loss or the damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded. You will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. In the event of any customer behaving in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause (in our reasonable opinion or the reasonable opinion of any person in authority) offence, danger, damage or significant discomfort or distress to others, we reserve the right to terminate that person’s trip arrangements. In this situation, we will not be liable to complete your trip arrangements (including return travel arrangements) and will not pay you, nor be liable for, any refund, compensation or costs you have to pay. We cannot accept liability for the behaviour of others staying at your accommodation, or if facilities are withdrawn as a result of their action.
