SECTION A – APPLICABLE TO ALL BOOKINGS

This section applies to all bookings made with us. Please read this section in conjunction with the relevant section below which is applicable to your booking.

1.) Booking and Paying for Your Arrangements

A booking is made with us when you have accepted a booking form sent from Go Privilege. Unless a deposit value has been agreed with your sales agent at point of sale and subsequently added to your booking form you will be invoiced for full payment due upon booking which are Go Privilege’s standard payment terms. We reserve the right to return your deposit and decline to fulfil your order at our absolute discretion. A binding contract will come into existence between you and us as soon as you accept your booking form which confirms the details of your booking.

Before accepting your booking form if you believe that any details are incorrect or if any other documents are wrong you must advise us immediately as changes cannot be made later and it may harm your rights if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document within ten days of our sending it out (five days for tickets).

If a deposit had been agreed with your sales agent and added to your booking form the following balance for the cost of your arrangements (including any applicable surcharge) are due not less than 12 weeks prior to scheduled booking date (unless specified otherwise if full payment is required upon booking regardless of when the booking is made). If we do not receive this balance in full and on time we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you in which case the cancellation charges set out in the applicable sections will become payable.

2.) Accuracy of Advertising Material

We endeavour to ensure that the descriptions information and prices both on our website and in our advertising material are accurate; however occasionally changes and errors occur. If an error is discovered after you have received your booking confirmation we will notify you as soon as possible. We reserve the right to correct prices and other details in such circumstances for insignificant price increases of less than 5%. If the error is greater than a 5% increase you have a right to cancel your booking without penalty or accept the corrected price and proceed with the booking.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of such information and prices at the time of publishing/printing regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen arrangements (including the price) with us at the time of booking.

3.) Travel Insurance

Adequate travel insurance is a condition of your contract with us. You must be satisfied that your insurance fully covers all your personal requirements including pre-existing medical conditions cancellation charges medical expenses and repatriation in the event of an accident or illness. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available. Failure to obtain such travel insurance may result in you bearing all costs that would have been otherwise covered.

4.) Events Beyond Our Control

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by Events Beyond Our Control. For the purposes of these Booking Conditions Events Beyond Our Control means any event beyond our or our supplier’s control the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

Any special requests must be advised to us at the time of booking (e.g. diet room location a particular facility at a hotel etc.). You should then confirm your requests in writing by email sent to bookings@goprivilege.co.uk. Whilst every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your reasonable special requests we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed by us. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met.

6.) Cutting Your Booking Short

If you are forced to return home early we cannot refund the cost of any travel arrangements you have not used. If you cut short your booking and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of the travel services provided we will not offer you any refund for that part of your holiday not completed or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.

7.) Accommodation Ratings and Standards

These are intended to give a guide to the services and facilities you should expect from your accommodation or other travel arrangements. Standards and ratings may vary between countries as well as between suppliers. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any ratings given and no warranty is given or implied.

We may require you to produce a doctor’s certificate certifying that you are fit to participate. Acting reasonably if we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned we will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking we will cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges when we become aware of these details.

10.) Your Responsibilities

All our customers are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly and acceptable manner and not to disrupt the enjoyment of others. If in our opinion or in the opinion of any hotel manager or any other person in authority your behaviour or that of any member of your party is causing or is likely to cause distress danger or annoyance to any other customers or any third party or damage to property or to cause a delay or diversion to transportation we reserve the right to terminate your booking with us immediately. In the event of such termination our liability to you and/or your party will cease and you and/or your party will be required to leave your accommodation or other arrangements immediately.

11.) Excursions

Please note that we do not provide or arrange excursions other than those listed in your itinerary and form part of the arrangements booked and paid for in the UK. Our local representatives or guides may put you in touch with local organisers of excursions if you request but we can have no liability for such excursions as your contract for such excursions will be with a local company providing the services and not with us.

We can only provide general information about this.

15.) If You Change or Cancel Your Single Service Booking

Changes:

If after confirmation you wish to change your booking in any way we will endeavour to make these changes if they are possible. Where we can meet a request all changes will be subject to payment of an amendment fee of £30 per person per change as well as any costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers in making this change.

Note: Certain single service arrangements may not be changeable after confirmation and any alteration may result in a cancellation charge of 100%.

Cancellations:

If you or any member of your party decides to cancel your booking you must notify us by recorded delivery post or by email. Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us at our offices and will be effective from the date on which we receive it.

However we pay our suppliers in advance and will only refund costs which we are also able to recover from our suppliers.

Therefore any alteration or cancellation after you receive your confirmation invoice could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements in addition to the charge above. Please note that amendments charges are not refundable in any circumstances This clause 23 outlines the rights you have if you wish to cancel your single service booking. Please note that there is no automatic statutory right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

We may in exceptional circumstances be required to cancel your booking in which case a full refund of all monies paid will be made to you. We regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses that you may incur as a result of change or cancellation.

Very rarely we may be forced due to Events Beyond Our Control (please see clause ) to change or terminate all or some of your arrangements after the booking date. If this situation does occur we regret we will be unable to make any refunds pay you compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

• A.) loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money - The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind.
• B.) Claims not falling under (a) above and which don’t involve injury illness or death - The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is twice the price paid by you in total.

18.) Insolvency Protection

If you book arrangements other than Package Holiday from us your monies will not be financially protected. Please ask us for further details.

SECTION C: PACKAGE HOLIDAY BOOKINGS

This section only applies to Packages booked with us where we are acting as the Package Organiser (please see clause 19 for further details of when this will be the case). Please read this section in conjunction with Section A of these Booking Conditions.

19.) Definition of a Package Holiday

Where your booking is for a Package that we have organised as defined below we will act as a “Package Organiser” and you will receive the rights and benefits under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 as amended (“PTRs”) as outlined in this Section C of these Booking Terms and Conditions.

A “Package” exists if you book a combination of at least two different types of the following separate travel services for the purpose of the same trip or holiday:

• transport;
• accommodation;
• rental of cars motor vehicles or motorcycles (in certain circumstances); or
• any other tourist service not intrinsically part of one of the above travel services;

provided that those separate travel services are purchased together from a single visit to our website / during a single phone call with our telephone booking line and are selected by you before you agree to pay; or are advertised sold or charged at an inclusive or total price; or advertised or sold under the term “package” or a similar term.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that:

• A.) where you have booked a Package that lasts for less than 24 hours and which does not include overnight accommodation; or
• B.) where you have made a booking which consists of not more than one type of the travel services listed at (a) – (c) above combined with one or more tourist services (as listed at (d) above) this will not create a Package where the tourist services:
  • do not account for 25% of the value of the combination and are not advertised as and do not otherwise represent an essential feature of the package; or
  • are selected and purchased after the performance of the transport accommodation or car rental has started.

These bookings will be treated as “Single Service” bookings and will not be afforded the benefit of the rights under the PTRs please see Section B of these Booking Terms and Conditions for the terms applicable to such arrangements.

20.) Pricing of Package Holiday

We reserve the right to amend the price of unsold itineraries at any time and correct errors in the prices of confirmed itineraries. We also reserve the right to increase the price of confirmed itineraries solely to allow for increases which are a direct consequence of changes in:

• the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from the cost of fuel or other power sources;
• the level of taxes or fees chargeable for services applicable to the itinerary imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the itinerary including tourist taxes landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; and
• the exchange rates relevant to the package.

Such variations could include but are not limited to airline cost changes which are part of our contracts with airlines (and their agents) cruise ship operators and any other transport providers.

You will be charged for the amount of any increase in accordance with this clause. However if this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your confirmed Package (excluding any insurance premiums amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements) you will have the option of accepting a change to another Package if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price) or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us except for any insurance premiums and any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements. Should you decide to cancel for this reason you must exercise your right to do so within 7 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.

Should the price of your Package go down due to the changes mentioned above then any refund due will be paid to you less an administrative fee of £30. However please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

There will be no change made to the price of your confirmed itinerary within 20 days of your booking date nor will refunds be paid during this period.

21.) If You Change or Transfer your Package Holiday

If you wish to change any part of your booking after our confirmation invoice has been issued you must inform us in writing as soon as possible. This should be done by the first named person on the booking. Whilst we will do our best to assist we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet your requested change. Where we can meet a request all changes will be subject to payment of an amendment fee of £30 per person per change as well as any costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers in making this change. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the booking date date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Where we are unable to assist you and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking we will treat this as a cancellation by you. A cancellation fee may be payable in accordance with clause 21.

Transfers of Package Booking:

If you or any member of your party is prevented from travelling that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else subject to the following conditions:

• A.) that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the itinerary;

Otherwise no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services.

22.) If You Cancel Your Package Holiday

Period before booking date date within which written notification is received at our offices	Cancellation Charge
More than 12 weeks prior to booking date	Deposit only*
12 weeks or less prior to booking date	100% of total cost of Package Holiday

Cancellation By You Due To Unavoidable & Extraordinary Circumstances:

You may terminate the package travel contract at any time before the start of the package without paying a cancellation charge in the event of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” occurring at the place of destination or its immediate vicinity which will significantly affect the performance of the package or carriage to your holiday destination. In these circumstances we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable to pay you any additional compensation.

In some cases where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL Scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services including any claim against us the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable).
