ISLAND VENTURES Booking Conditions
 
1. Booking confirmation:
Written confirmation will be made upon receipt of the booking form and appropriate deposit. Telephone bookings should also be confirmed in writing.
2. Balance of payments:
Unless otherwise stated, this will be required eight weeks before the commencement of the Tour.
3. Client cancellations:
Any cancellation must be made in writing and becomes effective from the date of receipt. Cancellations made 56 days
or more before the commencement of the Tour will involve loss of deposit. Thereafter the following scale of charges will be levied:
29-55 days 75 % of holiday price
0-28 days 100 % of holiday price
4. Holiday Insurance:
To comply with EU law, clients must be adequately insured when booking a package holiday. Insurance is available through "WildWings" Tel: 0117 965 8333, unless you already have a policy, proof of which must be provided at the time of booking. A copy of the policy is available upon request.
5. Party size:
The minimum number of persons required for the Tour to operate will normally be eight. If the number is not attained the client will be informed in writing eight weeks before the start of the Tour.
6. Financial Security:
For flights within Britain's Island Tours and all European/long-haul Tours, these will be arranged and bonded through
"WildWings" [ATOL number 5429], for which we act as agents. A contract will exist between you and the ATOL holder and you will receive a confirmation invoice from them. All other arrangements offered are provided by us under a separate contract from the flight arrangements and will be separately invoiced. These monies will be kept in a special bank account and only withdrawn after completion of the Tour.
7. Hotel Accommodation:
Wherever possible we endeavour to use very good quality hotel accommodation. This will inevitably vary somewhat in standard dependant upon the particular location. Single rooms are sometimes available on a Tour. Where a single room supplement is levied, this will be indicated alongside the Tour Price.
8. Tour Cancellation:
Should a Tour be cancelled because the number of persons who have actually booked is less than the minimum number
required, you will be informed within eight weeks of the departure date and a full refund of deposits paid will be made. Alternatively you may wish to book another Tour from the brochure.
9. Flora and Fauna:
For each Tour we have outlined a list of the various birds, flowers, mammals and cetaceans, a very high percentage of which should be seen. The list is however, only a guide. Inevitably some species listed will not be observed, whilst others not mentioned will be seen.
10. Complaints:
Should you have a complaint please bring the matter to your leader's attention immediately, when hopefully the complaint will be immediately rectified. Should this not be satisfactorily resolved, then the complaint should be put in writing within 28 days of completion of the Tour. The laws of England shall govern this Agreement and the English courts shall have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of it.
