You pay a deposit

When booking a holiday, you must sign a booking form accepting on behalf of all your party the terms of these conditions of booking and pay the appropriate deposit shown on the booking form per person for all holidays. The deposit paid in respect of each holiday is accepted as a first instalment of the charge. The receipt or banking of a deposit or the making of a provisional reservation does not imply final acceptance of the booking; neither is a verbal quotation confirmation of final cost. If a booking cannot be accepted, notification and refund of any deposit will be sent as soon as possible. If accepted a confirmation invoice will be forwarded to you normally within 2 weeks of receipt of your signed booking form. The contract is made between us when we send this confirmation. You pay the balance The balance of the price must be paid 4 weeks before the holiday departure date.

If you change your booking

If after your booking has been confirmed you wish to transfer to a different holiday or departure date, we will make every effort to satisfy your requirements provided that written notification is received at our office from the person who signed the booking form, not later than the date on which balance of the original holiday price is due for payment. Alterations made within the balance due period will be regarded as a cancellation by you of the original holiday and a new booking for a different holiday, and the cancellation charges set out in paragraph 4 will apply.
