Please Note: We act only as an agent in respect of all bookings wetake and/or make on your behalf. However, where you make a booking of multiple Travel Arrangementsin such a way as to create a package holiday, we will accept responsibility forthat as a “Multi-Contract Package” in accordance with the Package Travel andLinked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (please see clause 2 below forfurther information as to the circumstances in which we will be acting as aPackage Organiser).

As a result of the above, ourobligations to you may vary depending upon which Travel Arrangements you bookwith us, and whether you book a “Single Component Booking” or a “Multi-ContractPackage” and we have tried to set them out below as clearly as possible:

(A)       Section A contains the conditions that will apply to all bookingsyou make with us;

(B)       Section B sets out the additional terms and conditions that willapply when you make a booking with us for a Multi-Contract Package.

SECTION A – TERMS WHICH APPLY TO ALL BOOKINGS

1.    YOUR CONTRACT

Whenmaking your booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with theapplicable Supplier/Principal of the Travel Arrangements, as specified on yourconfirmation invoice. Your booking with us is subject to these BookingConditions and the specific terms and conditions of the relevantSupplier/Principal(s) you contract with and you we advise you to read bothcarefully prior to booking. The Supplier/Principal’s terms and conditions maylimit and/or exclude the Supplier/Principal's liability to you.

Yourbooking is confirmed and a contract between you and the Supplier/Principal willexist when we send you confirmation on their behalf.

As an agent we accept no responsibility for theacts or omissions of the Supplier/Principal or for the Travel Arrangementsprovided by the Supplier/Principal, unless we have sold those TravelArrangements in such a way as to create a Multi-Contract Package (please seeclause 2 for further information), in which case wewill accept responsibility for those Travel Arrangements in accordance withSection 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 therights and benefits under the Package Travel and Linked Travel ArrangementsRegulations 2018 (“PTRs”), as outlined in Section B of these BookingConditions.

A “Multi-ContractPackage” exists if you book a combination of at least two different types ofthe following individual travel services, for the purpose of the same trip orholiday:

(a)  transport; or

(b)  accommodation; or

(c)  rental of cars, motor vehicles or motorcycles (in certain circumstances);and

(d)  any other tourist service not intrinsically part of one of the abovetravel services, provided that those travel services are purchased together from a single visit to ourwebsite and selected by you before you agree to pay; or are advertised, sold orcharged at an inclusive or total price; or advertised or sold under the term“package” or a similar term.

This is called aMulti-Contract Package as you still have contracts with each of the individualSupplier/Principals providing the Travel Arrangements, however Mr ChristopherBordessa (Sole Trader), will accept responsibility for this booking as aPackage Organiser.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that where you havemade a booking which consists of not more than one type of travel service aslisted at (a) – (c) above, combined with one or more tourist services as listedat (d) above, this will not create a Multi-Contract Package where the touristservices:

-      do not account for 25% of the value of the combination and are notadvertised as, and do not otherwise represent, an essential feature of thepackage; or

-      are selected and purchased after the performance of the transport,accommodation or car rental has started.

These bookings willbe treated as “Single Component” bookings and will not be afforded the benefitof the rights under the PTRs.

Where you have bookeda Multi-Contract Package, we still act as agent on behalf of theSupplier/Principals of your chosen Travel Arrangements but we will comply withour legal obligations under the PTRs as your Package Organiser and these areoutlined in Section B of these Booking Conditions. This does not prejudice orotherwise affect our agency status with Supplier/Principals.

Please note we may also book a package on your behalf through aTour Operator, where all of the elements of the package will be booked with thesame Supplier/Principal. In this case the Tour Operator will be the PackageOrganiser. We will make this clear to you when you book.

3.    BOOKING

Full details of our data protection policyare available upon request.

4.    PAYMENT

If we have issued your policy please check it carefully toensure that all the details are correct and that all relevant information hasbeen provided by you (e.g. pre-existing medical conditions).

We will pass on all such requests to the Supplier/Principal, but wecannot guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you ifthey are not. The fact that a special request has been noted on yourconfirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed onto the Supplier/Principal is not confirmation that the request will be met.

We will also liaise between you and theSupplier/Principal in relation to any alternative arrangements offered by thesupplier but we will have no further liability to you.

Pleasecheck at the time of booking that hold baggage is included within your booking.It is your responsibility to ensure you have sufficient baggage allowance.Please be aware that hold baggage weight restrictions may also vary betweenairlines.

It should be noted, that “No Frills” airlines are normally quiteinflexible, often charging more for amendments and cancellations.

Unless you have pre-booked your seats (where this facility isavailable), it may not be possible to obtain them together. Please bear in mindthat even when you do pre-book seats, in most cases we will not be able toconfirm the actual seat numbers or position on the aircraft. Where possible, wewill offer you a further range of upgrade options designed to give you a morecomfortable journey at a reasonable supplement.

The flight routings used in connection with our holidays may be based onspecial fares which do not necessarily take the most direct route. Someitineraries require a change of aircraft on route.

Generally, your accommodation will be available from 2pm on the date ofarrival , and is to be vacated between 10 am and noon on the date of departure,irrespective of your arrival or departure times and unless we have statedotherwise. Should you wish your room to be ready prior to this time frame onyour day of arrival or available after 10 am for an afternoon or eveningdeparture, it may be possible to reserve the room at the time of bookinghowever this will be on a “subject to availability” basis.

No refunds on meals “not taken” can be given. Special diets of anykind (including vegetarian) can seldom be catered for adequately within theconstraints of a table d’hote menu and cannot be guaranteed.
