Booking Terms and Conditions

The following Booking Conditions together with our privacy policy and, together with any other written information we brought to your attention before we confirmed your booking govern your booking with 1Golf Ltd, a company registered in Norway with Company No. 995459892 and registered office address of Sorbyhaugen 7, 0377 Oslo (“1Golf”, “we” “us” and “our”). Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. References to "you" and "your" in these Booking Conditions mean all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date) or any of them. References to “Travel Arrangement(s)” in these Booking Conditions are to the accommodation, flights, transport, and other services we feature on our website. References to “Supplier/Principal” means the third party supplier of the Travel Arrangements including but not limited to accommodation providers, transfer providers, car hire companies, and airlines. 
By making a booking, the first named person on the booking agrees on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that he/she: 
  • has read these Booking Conditions and has the authority to and does agree to be bound by them;
  • consents to our use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is authorised on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose their personal details to us, including where applicable, special categories of data (such as information on health conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements);
  • is over 18 years of age and where placing an order for services with age restrictions declares that he/she and all members of the party are of the appropriate age to purchase those services;
  • accepts financial responsibility for payment of the booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking.
Please Note: We act only as an agent in respect of all bookings we take and/or make on your behalf. However, where you make a booking of multiple Travel Arrangements in such a way as to create a package holiday, we will accept responsibility for that as a “Multi- Contract Package” in accordance with the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (please see clause 2 below for further information as to the circumstances in which we will be acting as a Package Organiser). 
As a result of the above, our obligations to you may vary depending upon which Travel Arrangements you book with us, and whether you book a “Single Component Booking” or a “Multi-Contract Package” and we have tried to set them out below as clearly as possible: 
A. Section A contains the conditions that will apply to all bookings you make with us, whether Single Component or Multi-Contract Package; 
B. Section B sets out the additional terms and conditions that will apply only when you make a booking with us for a Multi-Contract Package. 

SECTION A – APPLICABLE TO ALL BOOKINGS 

1. Your Contract 
When making your booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable Supplier/Principal of the Travel Arrangements, as specified on your confirmation invoice. Your booking with us is subject to these Booking Conditions and the specific terms and conditions of the relevant Supplier/Principal(s) you contract with and we advise you to read both carefully prior to booking. The Supplier/Principal’s terms and conditions may limit and/or exclude the Supplier/Principal's liability to you. 
Your booking is confirmed and a contract between you and the Supplier/Principal will exist when we send you a booking confirmation email with a booking reference number. 
As an agent we accept no responsibility for the acts or omissions of the Supplier/Principal or for the Travel Arrangements provided by the Supplier/Principal, unless we have sold those Travel Arrangements in such a way as to create a Multi-Contract Package (please see clause 2 for further information), in which case we will accept responsibility for those Travel Arrangements in accordance with Section B of these Booking Conditions. 
2. Multi-Contract Package Bookings 
Where your booking is for a Multi-Contract Package, 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 Section B of these Booking Conditions. 
A “Multi-Contract Package” exists if you book a combination of at least two different types of the following individual travel services, for the purpose of the same trip or holiday: 
  • transport; or
  • accommodation; or
  • rental of cars, motor vehicles or motorcycles (in certain circumstances); and
  • any other tourist service not intrinsically part of one of the above travel services,
    provided that those travel services are purchased together from a single visit to our website and 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.
This is called a Multi-Contract Package as you still have contracts with each of the individual Supplier/Principals providing the Travel Arrangements, however we, 1Golf Limited, will accept responsibility for this booking as a Package Organiser. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that where you have made a booking which consists of not more than one type of travel service as listed at (a) – (c) above, combined with one or more tourist services as listed at (d) above, this will not create a Multi-Contract Package where the tourist services: 
- do not account for 25% of the value of the combination and are not advertised as, and do not otherwise represent, an essential feature of the package; or
- are selected and purchased after the performance of the transport, accommodation or car rental has started. These bookings will be treated as “Single Component” bookings and will not be afforded the benefit of the rights under the PTRs. 
Where you have booked a Multi-Contract Package, we still act as agent on behalf of the Supplier/Principals of your chosen Travel Arrangements but we will comply with our legal obligations under the PTRs as your Package Organiser and these are outlined in Section B of these Booking Conditions. This does not prejudice or otherwise affect our agency status with Supplier/Principals. 
3. Booking 
When you make a booking, you will have the opportunity to review/confirm all the details of the booking before making payment. Once you have reviewed and confirmed these details and made payment of the appropriate sum, we will proceed to make the booking with the Supplier/Principal. 
Please check that all names, dates and timings are correct on receipt of all documents and advise us of any errors immediately. Any changes to these details will incur the charges stated below. Please ensure that the names given are the same as in the relevant passport. The booking information that you provide to us will be passed on only to the relevant Supplier/Principal of your Travel Arrangements or other persons necessary for the provision of your Travel Arrangements. The information may be provided to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. This applies to any special category (sensitive) information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary and religious requirements. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons. Certain information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies. If you are travelling to the United States, the US Customs and Border Protection will receive this information for the purposes of preventing and combating terrorism and other transnational serious crimes. If you travel outside the European Economic Area, controls on data protection may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant Supplier/Principals, whether in the EEA or not, we will be unable to provide your booking. Please click here for full details of our privacy policy. 
Airport/Train Station Transfers: unless you have reserved a transfer separately during the booking process or subsequently, no flight or accommodation booking includes a transfer. Please ensure that the accommodation you have selected is accessible from the airport you have chosen to fly to. At times the accommodation suppliers or airlines involved in your booking may offer a free of complimentary resort transfer. We will pass on this offer to you however the provision, delivery and services standards of this transfer are the responsibility of the accommodation/airline provider and the third party involved in their delivery. 
4. Payment 
In order to book your chosen Travel Arrangements, you must make payment as outlined in this clause, or otherwise requested by the Supplier/Principal of the Travel Arrangements. You must also pay all applicable insurance premiums and booking fees. 
Payments 
Except where otherwise advised or stated in the terms and conditions of the Supplier/Principal concerned, all monies you pay to us for Travel Arrangements will be held on behalf of the Supplier/Principal concerned. 
Taxes 
The local authorities in certain countries may impose additional taxes (tourist tax, etc), which may have to be pre-paid or paid locally (e.g. at the accommodation). You are exclusively responsible for paying such additional taxes. 
5. Failure to make payment 
Should we be unable to collect all outstanding instalments from you before the date on which you are due to travel we reserve the right to cancel the booking made on your behalf and you will forfeit all monies paid by you for such booking. In addition, if for any reason we do not receive payment, we may be required to notify the other Supplier/Principals who may take the decision to cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out in their terms and conditions. In these circumstances you will be liable of a loss of all monies previously paid. 
6. Accuracy 
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 Travel Arrangements that you wish to book before you make your booking. Where the Travel Service or price has been listed incorrectly and the booking has already been confirmed, we reserve the right to cancel the booking and refund all monies paid to you. 
7. Prices 
We reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time. We also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur. You must check the price of your chosen Travel Arrangements at the time of booking. 
8. Insurance 
Many Supplier/Principals require you to take out travel insurance as a condition of booking with them. In any event, we strongly advise that you take out a policy of insurance in order to cover you and your party against the cost of cancellation by you; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money; and other expenses, as well as ensuring you have cover for any activities you have booked, including additional cover for skiing/extreme sports/adventure travel and all other activities you have booked. 
If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, neither the Supplier/Principal nor we will be liable to you for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available. 
9. Special Requests 
Any special requests must be advised to us at the time of booking e.g. diet, room location, a particular facility at the accommodation etc. You should then confirm your requests in writing but 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/Principal is not confirmation that the request will be met. 
10. Fitness to Travel and Medical Conditions 
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 Travel Arrangements. We may require you to produce a doctor’s certificate certifying that you are fit to participate in your chosen tour. 
Acting reasonably, if the Supplier/Principal is unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking on the Supplier/Principal’s behalf or, if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will inform the Supplier/Principal who may cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges, when we become aware of these details. 
11. Changes and Cancellations by You 
Any cancellation or amendment request must be sent to us as soon as possible. Please ensure that we have received written confirmation of any changes to your booking prior to travel. 
Whilst we will try to assist, we cannot guarantee that the Supplier/Principal will meet such requests. Amendments and cancellations can only be accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Supplier/Principal of your Travel Arrangements. The Supplier/Principal may charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their terms and conditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the Travel Arrangements and will normally increase closer to the date of departure). In addition, you must pay us an administration fee as set out in the table below. We will notify you of the exact charges at the time of amendment or cancellation. 
Requested Change 
In flight extra requests after booking confirmation e.g. pre booking seats or adding hold baggage 
Change of hotel 
Change of dates 
Change of title, initial, first name or surname after booking confirmation 
Add Passengers to the booking 
Remove Passengers from the booking 
Please note: 
Administration Charge 
Supplier/Principal’s Charge + £30.00 administration fee per booking to 1Golf 
Cancellation of original hotel + cost of new hotel + £80.00 administration fee to 1Golf 
Cancellation of original holiday + cost of new holiday + £80.00 administration fee to 1Golf 
Supplier/Principal’s Charge + £30.00 administration fee per person to 1Golf 
Supplier/Principal’s Charge + £50.00 administration fee per person to 1Golf 
Supplier/Principal’s Charge + £30.00 administration fee per person to 1Golf 
- Some Supplier/Principals do not allow changes and therefore full cancellation charges will apply; 
- Administration fees are non-refundable in the event you cancel your booking. 
12. Changes and Cancellations by the Supplier/Principal 
We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if the Supplier/Principal needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Travel Arrangements or to cancel them. We will also liaise between you and the Supplier/Principal in relation to any alternative travel arrangements offered by the Supplier/Principal but we will have no further liability to you. 
Where you have booked a Multi-Contract Package, additional terms and conditions apply to your booking, please see clause 27 for further details. 
13. Complaints 
As the contract for your Travel Arrangements is between you and the Supplier/Principal, any queries or concerns about your Travel Arrangements should be addressed to them in the first instance. If you have a problem with your Travel Arrangements whilst using them, this must be reported to the Supplier/Principal immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Supplier/Principal to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to may therefore be reduced or extinguished as a result. 
Important: claims/complaints about injuries or illness 
In the unfortunate event that you suffer an injury or an illness while you are on holiday, and you believe this is the fault of one of the Supplier/Principals, it is very important that you notify the Supplier/Principal while you are on holiday. 
Accommodation providers will not accept claims for illness or injury unless the issue is reported to the accommodation provider at the time whilst in the accommodation. You will often be asked to sign a document agreeing to a specific claims process when you arrive at the accommodation. This is as a result of an increasing number of fraudulent claims being received. 
Since 2013, there has been more than a 500% increase in the number of compensation claims for holiday sickness with tens of thousands of claims in the past year. Evidence suggests many of these claims may be exaggerated or fraudulent. If we believe any claim to be fraudulent then action may be taken in the hope of protecting those with genuine claims. 
If you remain unsatisfied, you can inform us, in writing by emailing 1Golf on admin@1golftravel.com immediately on return and, in any event, within 28 days of your return whereby we will endeavour to assist in our capacity as an agent by liaising with the Supplier/Principal on your behalf. 
You can also access the European Commission Online Dispute (ODR) Resolution platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. This ODR platform is a means of registering your complaint with us; it will not determine how your complaint should be resolved. 
14. Our Responsibility for your Booking 
Your contract is with the Supplier/Principal and its booking conditions apply. As agent, we accept no responsibility for the actual provision of the Travel Arrangements. Our responsibilities are limited to making the booking in accordance with your instructions. We accept no responsibility for any information about the Travel Arrangements that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to twice the cost of the commission we earn on your booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the booking is affected). 
We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment. 
 
Please Note:Where you have booked a Multi-Contract Package we will accept responsibility for that Multi-Contract Package as a package organiser and additional terms and condition apply. Please see clause 28 for further information. 
15. Force Majeure 
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 “Force Majeure”. For the purposes of these Booking Conditions, Force Majeure means any event beyond our or our supplier’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, avalanches, landslide, rock falls, or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, labour strikes, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport, air traffic control strikes, flight cancellations and all similar events outside our or the supplier(s) concerned’s control. 
Brexit Implications: please note that certain Travel Arrangements may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens travelling to, within or through the EU. Please rest assured that this is something we will continue to monitor and will advise our customers as soon as possible if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected. However, since this is something which is completely unprecedented and outside our control, we would treat any such changes as Force Majeure, and whilst we will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, we will not be liable to pay you any compensation. 
16. Visa, Passport and Health Requirements 
It is your responsibility to check and fulfill the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary. We can only provide general information about this. You must check requirements for your own specific circumstances with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates and your own doctor as applicable. Requirements do change and you must check the up to date position in good time before departure. 
Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. If your passport is in its final year, you should check with the Embassy of the country you are visiting.
Special conditions apply for travel to the USA, and all passengers must have individual machine readable passports. 
We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel, or incur any other loss because you have not complied with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. You agree to reimburse us in relation to any fines or other losses which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. 
17. Law and Jurisdiction 
These Booking Conditions are governed by Norwegian law and we both agree that the courts of Norway have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim or other matter which may arise between us. 
18. Accommodation Ratings and Standards 
All ratings are as provided by the relevant Supplier/Principal or are 1Golf’s own average ratings based on our industry knowledge and customer feedback. Our own ratings are clearly marked and are intended to give a guide to the services and facilities you should expect from your accommodation. Standards and ratings may vary between countries, as well as between suppliers. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any ratings given. We have made reasonable efforts to establish the official rating of the accommodation and include this within the description of the accommodation on our website. 
19. Documentation & Information 
All descriptions and content on our website or otherwise issued by us is done so on behalf of the Supplier/Principal in question are intended to present a general idea of the services provided by the Supplier/Principal. Not all details of the relevant services can be included on our website. All services shown are subject to availability. If you require any further details, in respect of any Travel Arrangements or any other services please contact us. 
20. Foreign Office Advice 
You are responsible for making yourself aware of Foreign Office advice in regard to the safety of the countries and areas in which you will be travelling and to make your decisions accordingly. Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute Force Majeure (see clause 15). 
21. Your Behaviour 
You are expected to conduct yourself in an orderly and acceptable manner and not to disrupt the enjoyment of others. If in the Supplier/Principal’s opinion or in the opinion of any other person in authority, your behaviour or that of any member of your party is causing or is likely to cause distress, danger or annoyance to any other customers or any third party, or damage to property, or to cause a delay or diversion to transportation, the Supplier/Principal reserves the right to terminate your booking immediately with no further liability to you. You and/or your party may also be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by your actions and you and each member of your party will be jointly and individually liable for any damage or losses caused. Full payment for any such damage or losses must be paid directly to the Supplier/Principal prior to departure. If you fail to make payment, you will be responsible for meeting any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us because of your actions together with all costs we incur in pursuing any claim against you. 
We cannot be held responsible for the actions or behaviour of other guests or individuals who have no connection with your booking arrangements or with us. 
22. Flights 
Flight times and tickets 
Flight times shown are provisional and may be subject to change, as per the booking conditions. You should ensure that you have your flight reference number which will be required for check-in. The flight reference and check-in procedures are included in the booking confirmation email we send to you. Some flight providers will require this check-in procedure to be carried out online. Failure to check-in online will result in check-in fees at the airport which you will be liable to pay for. 
Data 
The flight information advertised comes from all the major airlines. The data is regularly updated. Seat availability and pricing is at the operator's discretion and is subject to availability. Please be aware that prices can fluctuate. 
Luggage and other flight extras 
All airlines have a standard hand luggage allowance which is included in our online prices. Allowances differ significantly from airline to airline. The allowance you are entitled to will be shown in the booking conditions of your airline which are displayed at the bottom of your documentation. Where you require additional luggage allowance this can be added to the booking prior to checkout and paid for. 
Certain airlines consider hold luggage to be an optional extra. When you are booking with an airline that does make a charge for luggage it is not included or displayed in our head line prices and the option to add this extra facility will be offered to you at the time of booking. The luggage allowance will be dictated by the airline in question and can again vary. Should you choose not to take any hold luggage on your trip then you will receive the standard hand luggage allowance as detailed in the airlines booking conditions. This will normally be between 5 and 10kgs. Bags must be no larger than the dimensions allowed by the airline in question for carry-on luggage. For further information please refer to the airline booking conditions. 
In the main, our online prices do not include in-flight meals. Please check with the airline. 
Please note where flight extras (such as bags and meals) are added at or after the time of booking they cannot be removed, cancelled or refunded. 
Please note, generally airlines have a policy that bookings are non-refundable. 
We will purchase the flight seats on your behalf directly from the airline. In the case of some airlines, we will use the payment details you provide to purchase the flight seats on your behalf and you agree that we can use the payment details you provide to do so. Where this is the case, you will see two separate transactions on your card statement; one will be for the cost of your flights with the airline and the remainder will be your payment to 1Golf including our service fees. 
Multiple airlines, triangular flights and 2 x one-way flights 
Where we book a multiple airline, triangular flight (e.g. different UK airports for outbound and inbound e.g. fly out of Manchester and fly in to Liverpool) and or 2 x one-way flights on your behalf we might be making two separate flight bookings with two separate flight suppliers or at times the same flight supplier. In certain cases in order to ensure our prices are as competitive as possible for all customers, we will book a return flight (same airline, same route) as 2 one- way flights - one booking will be for the outbound leg of your flights and another for the inbound leg of your flights. When making a multiple airline or triangular flight booking the different airports will be displayed throughout the booking process and a multiple airline logo will be shown. 
You could see two flight vouchers displayed on your paperwork, two flight references and at times two separate flight suppliers booking conditions. This does not affect your travel arrangements in any way and you simply use the correct voucher to check-in for each leg of your journey. 
Scheduled flights 
Our website offers scheduled flights from all the major airlines. Please note that in certain cases these flights may be indirect and fly via other airports. The flight display will show the take- off time from the departure airport and the landing time into the destination airport correctly. Where an in-direct flight is offered full details of any flight stopovers will be made clear to you at the time of booking. Please note many scheduled flights are non-amendable and non-refundable once booked. 
Ryanair Seating Reservations 
Ryanair have introduced a policy of mandatory seat reservations for parties travelling with one or more children under the age of 12 on the date of travel. This means that for every four children (or less) on a booking, one adult MUST have a reserved seat at a cost of £4. The children will then also be allocated a reserved seat at no additional cost. 
1Golf will implement this policy by booking a single seat reservation on the flight for ONE adult in a party and up to four children. Parties with more than four children will have an additional adult seat reservation made for a further £4. 
23. Hotels 
Hotel Booking Procedure 
Unless otherwise requested at the time of booking, standard internationally accepted practice dictates that your accommodation will be booked from the day that you depart the UK for the required duration. The dates and times of your accommodation booking will be included on your booking confirmation (please check this carefully). After registration, on arrival at your accommodation, you will be allocated a room. When travelling on flights departing the UK after midnight, your room will be reserved from the previous day. You must normally check- out of your room by 11am on the day before a night flight home or on the departure date for an evening flight. We can request a late check-out for the room, however this is not guaranteed. Most hotels provide this late checkout facility. This will usually incur a small charge payable on the spot (it is impossible for us to prepay this charge) and should be requested at the start of your stay so as to avoid disappointment. 
Non-Refundable Rooms 
If you book a non- refundable room you will not be able to cancel nor amend your booking and no refund will be available. Deposit payment options are not available on bookings which include non- refundable rooms. Full payment is required at the time of the booking. 
SECTION B: MULTI-CONTRACT PACKAGE BOOKINGS 
This section only applies to Multi-Contract Packages (please see clause 2 for further information) and should be read in conjunction with Section A of these Booking Conditions. 
25. Transferring Your Multi-Contract Package Booking 
If any member of your party is prevented from travelling on their Multi-Contract Package, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else, subject to the following conditions: 
  • that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the Travel Arrangements making up the Multi-Contract Package;
  • we are notified not less than 7 days before departure;
  • you pay any outstanding balance payment, an administration fee of £30 per person
    transferring as well as any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer; and the transferee agrees to these Booking Conditions, the Supplier/Principal’s terms and conditions and all other requirements applicable to the Travel Arrangements making up the Multi-Contract Package.
  • 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 accordance with clause 11. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services.

    26. If You Cancel your Multi-Contract Package due to Unavoidable & Extraordinary Circumstances
    If you have booked a Multi-Contract Package, you have the right to cancel your confirmed Multi-Contract Package 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 Multi-Contract Package or significantly affecting transport 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 compensation.
    Please note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the Foreign 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.

    27. If the Supplier/Principal Changes or Cancels your Multi-Contract Package
    Where you have booked a Multi-Contract Package and the Supplier/Principal makes a significant change to or cancels the Travel Arrangements which form your Multi-Contract Package, the provisions of this clause 27 will apply.
    Changes: If the Supplier/Principal makes an insignificant change to your Travel Arrangements, 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 insignificant 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 or minor changes to services available at the hotel. Please note that carriers such as airlines may be subject to change.
    Occasionally the Supplier/Principal may have to make a significant change to your confirmed Travel Arrangements. Examples of “significant changes” include the following, when made before departure:
  • A change of accommodation area for the whole or a significant part of your time away.
  • A change of accommodation to that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a significant part of your time away.
  • A change of outward departure time or overall length of your Travel Arrangements by more than 12 hours.
  • A change of UK departure airport except between:
o The London airports: Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Stansted, London City and 
Southend
o The South Coast airports: Southampton, Bournemouth and Exeter
o The South Western airports: Cardiff and Bristol
o The Midlands airports: Birmingham, East Midlands and Doncaster Sheffield o The Northern airports: Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds Bradford
o The North Eastern airports: Newcastle and Teesside
o The Scottish airports: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Prestwick and Aberdeen. 
• A significant change to your itinerary, missing out one or more destination entirely. 
If the Supplier/Principal has to make a significant change or cancel your Travel Arrangements, 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 Travel Arrangements; or
  2. having a refund of all monies paid; or
  3. accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable or higher standard if available (at no extra cost); or
  4. if available, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of a lower standard, with a refund of the price difference between the original Travel Arrangements and the alternative travel arrangements.
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 respond again we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative travel arrangements. 
28. Our Responsibilities in Respect of Multi-Contract Packages 
1. Where you have booked a Multi-Contract Package where we are acting as a Package Organiser, although we still act as agent for the Supplier/Principals of your chosen Travel Arrangements and your contract will be with the Supplier/Principals, we will accept responsibility for the Travel Arrangements making up your Multi-Contract Package as an “organiser” under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 as set out below. As such, we are responsible for the proper provision of all the Travel Arrangements included in your Multi-Contract Package, as set out on your confirmation invoice. Subject to these Booking Conditions, if we or the Supplier/Principals negligently perform or arrange those Travel Arrangements and we don’t remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of time, and this has affected the enjoyment of your Multi-Contract Package you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. The level of such 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 Conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees’ or the Supplier/Principal’s negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your Multi-Contract Package. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or the Supplier/Principals have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us. 
  1. 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 forming part of your Multi-Contract Package and which were
    unavoidable and extraordinary; or
    c. Force Majeure (as defined in clause 15).
  2. We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this clause: 
    • 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 required to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.
    • Claims not falling under (a) above and which don’t involve injury, illness or deathThe 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.
    • Claims in respect of international travel by air, sea and rail, or any stay in a hotel 
      1. 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); The Athens Convention (with respect to sea travel); The Berne/Cotif Convention (with respect to rail travel) and The Paris Convention (with respect to hotel Travel Arrangements). You can ask for copies of these Conventions from our offices. Please contact us.
