Booking Conditions 1. Booking: When your holiday is confirmed verbally, you must send us your completed booking form accepting our booking conditions on behalf of all your party. This forms the contract between you and Frontier Travel Limited. These conditions come into force on receipt of your deposit which is usually 100 per person plus any insurance premium, or the full payment if departure is within 8 weeks. If you are booking through a travel agent, you should pay the agency who will hold your money on our behalf. Your money is completely safe as Frontier Travel Ltd is bonded both with the CAA and ABTA. 2. Payment: The balance of your holiday must be paid at least 8 weeks before departure date. If the balance is not paid in time we reserve the right to cancel your holiday and retain your deposit. Payment of the balance by credit card incurs a 2% surcharge (2.5% on AMEX). 3. Changes or Cancellations by you: If, after our confirmation has been issued, you wish to change or cancel your booking we will do our utmost to help you, provided that notification is received at our offices from the person who signed the booking form, or from their travel agent. Notice of alteration must be accompanied by a payment of 50 to cover our administration costs. Please note that certain arrangements cannot be changed after reservations have been confirmed and any alteration request will incur a 100% cancellation charge. If you do have to cancel your holiday, we will retain your deposit and insurance premium and in addition may apply cancellation charges up to the maximum shown below. 56 days or more Deposit only 31 days to 55 days 30% 15 days to 30 days 60% 2 days to 14 days 90% Within 2 days 100% Holidays taken over Christmas and New Year are subject to more stringent conditions according to the hotels chosen. Further details will be given on request. 4. Disputes Procedure: If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant supplier (e.g. hotel) and our resort representative, or this office if representative not available, immediately and we will endeavour to put things right. It is a condition of this contract, that if you wish to claim compensation, a written report is sent to us within 28 days of your return home. If you fail to follow this procedure this may affect your right to claim compensation, as we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. It is unlikely that you will have a complaint that cannot be settled amicably between us. However, disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract, which cannot be amicably settled, may be referred to arbitration under a special scheme, which, though devised by arrangement with ABTA, is administered quite independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. This scheme (details on request) provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. Alternatively, either side may call on AITO¹s Independent Dispute settlement Service (details on request) to bring the matter to a speedy and amicable solution. Whichever option you choose, neither scheme applies to claims for an amount greater than 5,000 per person, or 15,000 per booking form. This claim can include a claim for injury or illness up to an amount of 1,000. It does not apply to claims that are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequences of such an injury or illness. If you elect to seek redress under either scheme, written notice requesting Arbitration must be made within 9 months after the scheduled date of return from holiday.
5. Price Policy: Prices shown in this brochure are based on known costs as at 14 June 2002 and the exchange rate of pound sterling CA$2.21. The price of your holiday is subject to surcharges on the following items. Exchange rates, fuel, increases in scheduled airfares, overflying, airport charges and government action. Even in this case, we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the basic holiday price. Only amounts in excess of 2% will be charged. If this means paying more than 10% on the holiday price you will be entitled to cancel your holiday with a full refund of all monies paid except for insurance premiums and amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel because of this, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on the invoice. We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised prices and other holiday details. We will do so as soon as we are aware of the error. We also reserve the right to alter the brochure prices and will advise you of any changes at the time of booking. 6. Changes by us: It is unlikely we will have to make any changes to your holiday, but occasionally changes have to be made, which we reserve the right to do at any time. Most of these changes are minor, and we will advise you or your travel agent at the earliest possible date. When a major change occurs, provided it does not arise from circumstances amounting to force majeure (see below), you will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, purchasing another available holiday from us, or cancelling your holiday. In all cases we will pay compensation as detailed below: Period before departure within which a major change is notified to you or your travel agent Compensation per person More than 56 days nil 31 days to 55 days 15 15 days to 30 days 25 under 15 days 35 Important note: Compensation will not be payable if we are forced to cancel, or in any way change your holiday due to war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions. 7. Cancellation by us: We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday. However, in no case will we cancel your holiday less than 56 days before the scheduled departure except for reasons of force majeure or failure on your part to pay the final balance. In circumstances where we are unable to provide the holiday booked, we will return to you all monies paid, or offer an alternative holiday of comparable standard and if a cancellation occurs within 56 days of departure, compensation on a similar scale to that shown in paragraph 6. 8 Our responsibility: (i)we accept responsibility for ensuring the holiday that you book with us is supplied as described in this brochure and the services offered reach a reasonable standard.
