against unexpected cancellation charges, medical costs that might be
incurred while you're away, loss of money, or belongings, or personal
liability claims. Please note that the cover offered by most credit card
companies is not normally adequate for package holiday or holiday flight
bookings.

Our Liability
to You If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly
performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate compensation if
this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements. However we will
not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due
to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel
arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or
unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences
of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been
exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care,
could not foresee or forestall. Our liability, except in cases involving
death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of [one] times the
cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in
accordance with and/or in an identical manner to (a) The contractual terms
of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel
arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and (b) Any
relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in
respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea,
the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention
in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of
compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and
loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all
benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any
conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies' contractual
terms, or the international conventions, from our offices (Address &
Telephone). Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some
circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of
denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these
rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from
airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle
you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or
compensation from us is set out in clause 6. If any payments to you are due
from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this
amount. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain
to the Air Transport Users' Council on 020 7240 6061

that you enter into for flights and accommodation are separate transactions,
with separate suppliers and have no relationship with one another. Should
either element of your travel arrangements be amended or cancelled by the
supplier, Holidays Yourway will make every effort to provide suitable
alternative arrangements on your behalf, but cannot accept any financial
responsibility.
Data Protection

necessary for us to take certain information from you, including your name,
address and financial details in order to confirm your booking. With the
exception of your name and any medical/dietary requirements that you
disclose to us, Financial and contact information will not be passed on to
any third party.
Pricing
Whilst we
endeavour at all times to keep our pricing as accurate as possible, and
while all our prices are updated regularly, usually on an intra-day basis,
and displayed in good faith, prices displayed by our flight locator and
accommodation search engine should still be seen as guide prices only. All
accommodation and flight details are subject to availability and price
variation. A final costing will be given when you call us, or when you reach
the final stage of the online booking journey prior to your bookings being
confirmed.
Booking Fees
Credit Card
fees equal to 2.00% of the total transaction costs are payable on all

please contact the Holidays Yourway Customer Services department on 01633

What’s Included In A Tailor Made Holiday
Booking?
Booking
flights and accommodation separately will often mean that each component of
your holiday is supplied by a different company. Typically this means that
you will not have a holiday representative in attendance at your
accommodation to respond to questions or problems. In the event of any
difficulties you should contact the supplier directly by telephone. Please
make sure that you are aware of the supplier’s contact details prior to
travelling which can be found on your accommodation voucher/invoice.
Tickets
The supply of
flight tickets will vary depending on the supplier. Tickets will normally be
sent approximately 2 weeks prior to travel. However, for bookings made
within 21 days of the departure date, tickets will need to be collected from
the airport. Some airlines now issue e-tickets for online bookings and you
will be advised of this at the time of booking. Any queries regarding your
booking should be directed to our Customer Service department on 01633
627599. You will receive separate confirmations for each element of your
booking and each element will be charged as a separate transaction.
Documentation
Holidays
Yourway will issue you with a booking confirmation document for your
reference, which will normally reach you within 7 working days. Please check
the documentation carefully as soon as it is received and advise us of any
errors immediately. Confirmation of your booking may also be issued by the
supplier (subject to a minimum period between booking and departure dates).
A summary price may be displayed on the booking confirmation, which will
include booking fees and any additional administrative costs and charges.
The total price shown will be the same as your original quotation.
Accommodation Ratings
The
accommodation ratings are provided by the supplier and there is no guarantee
either stated or implied by Holidays Yourway as to the accuracy of the
ratings given. It is important to note that ratings may vary between
countries and also between suppliers and therefore accommodation ratings
should be considered only as a guide to the standards of accommodation.
Cancellations/Amendments
To cancel or
make amendments to your booking you will need to notify Holidays Yourway in
writing by post, fax or e-mail. The postal address is: Holidays Yourway, 6th
Floor Gwent House, Gwent Square, Cwmbran, Gwent, NP44 1PL. e-mail:
customersatisfaction@Holidays Yourway. Holidays Yourway is not able to
accept verbal requests for amendments or cancellations. Proof of posting is
not proof of receipt and therefore it is in your interest to confirm all
requested changes by telephone with our Customer Service department.
Administration charges will be incurred where changes are requested. Some
suppliers will also charge their own administration fee for changes and a
penalty fee for cancellation, which will vary according to the supplier.
Cancellation fees may differ from the deposit paid and may be dependent upon
the date of the cancellation in relation to the date of departure.
Cancellation
fees must be paid in full with immediate effect. Some tickets may not allow
changes to be made. You will be advised of any charges or penalty fees at
the time the amendments are made. Once changes have been made you will be
notified in writing to confirm the changes prior to your date of travel.
Additional persons will be added to a booking on the express understanding
that they have read, understood and accepted all terms and conditions
associated with the booking. Requested amendments or cancellations are made
only at the discretion of Holidays Yourway. |
