condition of booking with every tour operator that you have adequate
insurance cover. Such insurance will ensure that you are properly
covered 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.
If you
require insurance cover, Holidays Yourway will be pleased to arrange
it at the time of booking, allthough you are free to make your own
arrangements.
Date Of Cover

are covered from the date that the insurance is paid, normally at time

the necessary changes to your documentation where possible, such
notification must be made in writing and may incur a charge from both

addition to the charge applied by your tour operator, supplier or
airline we will apply a charge of £25 per person if an amendment is

applied will be 100% Unless the applicable tour operator, airline
airfare or supplier terms and conditions otherwise state. If a

covered by that insurance, you should be able to obtain payment of
these cancellation charges (after deducting any part of the claim
which the insurance company insists you pay) from your insurance
company. You must pay the cancellation charges first. Please make sure

an immigration requirement for a passport to remain valid for a
minimum period (usually six months) beyond date of entry to the
country. This is a requirement of the county concerned, not the UK
Passport Office. Any questions should be addressed to the relevant
consulate or embassy. Foreign Nationals and all non-UK passport
holders must check with the appropriate consulate or embassy before
travel.

entry visas to be purchased on arrival. If you are not travelling on
an EC passport, other rules may apply. Please check with Holidays
Yourway for advice or contact the embassy of the country you're
travelling to. It is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate
visas for the destination you intend to visit.

certain requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and
your party are aware of, and abide by, all restrictions. You should

cannot guarantee that they will be met. Further, if the accommodation
provider is unable to meet any such request, neither we, nor they, can
have any liability to you in this respect.
Star Ratings

are used to indicate the overall quality and standard of each hotel,
apartment or villa. The ratings are supplied by the accommodation
provider or tour operator and are based on certain criteria including
the overall standard of the hotel, the quality of the furnishings, the
quality of the available food and the range of facilities within the
hotel / complex. We cannot check every one of these hotels every
season, the ratings featured and the descriptions / facilities in our
advertising / on our website are the suppliers own ratings and are
closely based on the official tourist board ratings. It is worth
noting that standards vary from country to country and what may be
considered, for example, 5 Star in the UK, may differ from that in
another country.

before you book. If you have already completed your booking we will
let you know as soon as we can if there is time prior to your
departure. In the unlikely event that your principle provider has to
make a major change or alteration to your booking we will offer you
the option of accepting the change with appropriate compensation as
per the principles terms and conditions. We do not accept any
responsibility for any expenses or costs incurred by you as a result
of the change or cancellations that are due to unusual or unforeseen

Our Liability
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 www.auc.org.uk

Terms and Conditions For Tailor Made
Holidays

conditions. Please ensure that you are fully aware of these conditions
prior to booking.

contracts 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
It is
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 bookings made with Holidays Yourway. The charge is non-negotiable.

aspect of your holiday please contact the Holidays Yourway Customer

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

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. |
