1. Booking and payment process
1.1. One reservation must be completed for each Group. You must use the form provided on the website.
1.2. We will quote a price for your selected arrangements. The price does include services stated at the website and in quote.
1.3. You will then be presented with the option of making a reservation.
1.4. Your contract with us will only come into existence when you accept the reservation and we receive your deposit. Until that time, acceptance of your reservation is at our absolute discretion. We may refuse to accept it for any reason. By making your reservation with us, you will be regarded as having had the opportunity to have read and understood our Terms and Conditions and to have actually done so before a contract between us came into existence.
1.5. A deposit of up to 15% of the total cost of the booking is required. This is used to safeguard your reservations of activities and accommodation with our suppliers. We accept payment by all the major credit and debit cards and you can pay in Euros, alternatively in Pounds, U.S. Dollars or local currency. We use a company called Paypal to process your payments securely online. You can read more about them via their website www.paypal.com. We never come into contact with your card at anytime and we will never know any details of the card(s) you use to pay us with.
Payment can only be made by the Group Leader, or someone nominated by the Group Leader. Individual payments cannot be accepted.
1.6. Once we receive your deposit we will send a confirmation to the Group leader by email. We will not supply you with paper copies of any such documentation. Should we acknowledge your reservation prior to sending a confirmation letter, such acknowledgement will be an indication that we are dealing with your booking and not a confirmation of it.
1.7. Payment of the outstanding balance of the total cost quoted must be made to us no later than when the Group is met at your holiday destination by the our representative. In exceptional circumstances, we reserve the right to request earlier payment.
1.8. If you wish to alter your travel arrangements after the confirmation was sent, the Group Leader must notify us by email. Variation of the travel arrangements is at our absolute discretion. Any such variation will give rise to a recalculation of the total cost originally quoted. If this should result in an increase in the deposit payable, we will not confirm the variation until payment of the increased deposit has been received.
1.9. We reserve the right, without giving you notice, to vary any part of your booking, at any time, where such changes are minor.
