2. Basis of contract

2.1 These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that you may seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.2 The Order constitutes an offer by you to purchase the Products and Services in accordance with these Conditions. You are responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate.

2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when we issue a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.

2.4 The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of us which is not set out in the Contract.

3. Products and services

3.1 The Products and Services are described on the Website. We are acting as an agent for the Organiser and on acceptance of an Order will provide the Retailer’s Services.

3.2 The Retailer’s Services are:

• (a) To contact the Organiser to arrange for the Products and Services to be provided to you;
• (b) To provide to the Organiser your details to enable the Organiser to provide the Products and Services to you.

3.3 The Organiser may provide its own set of terms and conditions relating to the provision of the Products and Services and you are advised to ensure you are happy with these additional terms. A copy of the terms and conditions of any Organiser will be provided by us on request.

3.4 We reserve the right to amend the specification of the Products and Services where the Organiser informs us of any change or if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

4. Delivery/Completion

4.1 Delivery/Completion of our services shall be when we have contacted the Organiser pursuant to clause 3 above. Delivery/Completion shall be within 48 hours of acceptance of the Order but time is not of the essence.

• (a) a Force Majeure Event;
• (b) your failure to provide us with adequate instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Products and Services; or
• (c) the Organiser’s failure to respond to us or to you in a timely manner.

5. Right to Cancel

5.1 You will not be able to cancel the Contract under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling Regulations) 2000 once the performance of the Services has begun. For the avoidance of doubt, the performance of the Services has begun when we accept an Order made by you.

6. Quality

6.1 We make no warranty in relation to any of the Products and Services provided by the Organiser.

7. Price, payment, and deposit

7.1 The price of the Products and Services shall be the price set out in the Order, or, if no price is quoted, the price set out in our published price list in force as at the date of delivery.

7.2 You will pay a deposit to secure a booking of the Products and Services on such terms as shall be set out on the Website. If you fail to pay the full price by the date indicated by the Organiser or by us, you will forfeit the deposit monies.

7.3 The price of the Products and Services is subject to any increase that is due to:

• (a) any factor beyond our control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);
• (b) any request by you to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Products ordered, or the Specification; or
• (c) any delay caused by any instructions from you or your failure to give us adequate or accurate information or instructions.

7.4 The price of the Products and Services is inclusive of amounts in respect of value-added tax (VAT) where applicable.

7.5 Payment is to be made immediately, but if you fail to make payment due to us under the Contract for any reason, then you will pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above Barclays Bank Plc’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You will pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

7.6 You will pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law). We may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies you may have, set off any amount owing to us by you against any amount payable by us to you.

8. Refunds

8.1 Any deposit paid is not refundable unless an event in clause 13 occurs, excluding any Covid-19 events.

8.2 The payment of deposits may also be subject to additional restrictions or conditions required by the Organiser. We will inform you before contracting of any such restrictions.

8.3 Any cancellation by you is subject to a 20% cancellation fee. In addition, if a service provider or the Organiser charges us for the cancelled travel, you must also pay us the amount that we are charged on your behalf by the service provider or Organiser. It is, therefore, possible your cancellation fees could be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced (for example, cancellations made within 24hrs of travel). These can be found on the Organiser’s website, or you can ask us for the full information at any point during the booking process.

8.4 In the event of a refund, you are responsible for any banking fees and/or costs required to complete the refund. All credit/debit card fees are non-refundable.

9. Insurance

9.1. It is a condition of your Contract with us that you and all other members of your party, including any infants and children, are sufficiently insured from the time of booking and for the duration of your holiday. You must ensure that this insurance fully covers all your personal requirements, including, but not limited to, the cost of medical expenses, any pre-existing medical conditions, full Covid-19 cover, personal belongings, loss or theft of baggage and money, cancellation charges, repatriation and assistance costs in the event of accident or illness and any activities that you have booked or may book (including, without limitation, any additional cover for scuba diving or surfing). Please read and take your policy documents with you on holiday.

9.2. We shall not be liable for any refusal to offer the Products and Services by the Organiser due to failure to obtain adequate insurance.

10. Termination

10.1 If you become subject to any of the events listed in clause 10.2, or we reasonably believe that you are about to become subject to any of them and notify you accordingly, then, without limiting any other right or remedy available to us, we may cancel or suspend all further deliveries under the Contract or under any other contract between you and us without incurring any liability to you, and all outstanding sums in respect of Products and Services delivered to you shall become immediately due.
