References to “Supplier/Principal” means the third party supplier ofthe Travel Arrangements including but not limited to accommodation providers,transfer providers, car hire companies, airlines, tour operators and attractionproviders.

Please Note: We act only as an agent in respect of all bookings wetake and/or make on your behalf. However, where you make a booking of multiple Travel Arrangements in such a way as to create a package holiday, we will accept responsibility for that as a “Multi-Contract Package” in accordance with the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (please see clause 2 below forfurther information as to the circumstances in which we will be acting as a Package Organiser).

As a result of the above, our obligations to you may vary depending upon which Travel Arrangements you book with us, and whether you book a “Single Component Booking” or a “Multi-Contract Package” and we have tried to set them out below as clearly as possible:

(A)       Section A contains the conditions that will apply to all bookingsyou make with us;

(B)       Section B sets out the additional terms and conditions that willapply when you make a booking with us for a Multi-Contract Package.

SECTION A – TERMS WHICH APPLY TO ALL BOOKINGS

1.    YOUR CONTRACT

Whenmaking your booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable Supplier/Principal of the Travel Arrangements, as specified on your confirmation invoice. Your booking with us is subject to these BookingConditions and the specific terms and conditions of the relevant Supplier/Principal(s) you contract with and you we advise you to read both carefully prior to booking. The Supplier/Principal’s terms and conditions may limit and/or exclude the Supplier/Principal's liability to you.

Your booking is confirmed and a contract between you and the Supplier/Principal will exist when we send you confirmation on their behalf.

As an agent we accept no responsibility for the acts or omissions of the Supplier/Principal or for the Travel Arrangements provided by the Supplier/Principal, unless we have sold those Travel Arrangements in such a way as to create a Multi-Contract Package (please see clause 2 for further information), in which case we will accept responsibility for those Travel Arrangements in accordance with Section B of these Booking Conditions.

2.     MULTI-CONTRACT PACKAGE BOOKINGS

Where your booking is for a Multi-Contract Package,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 (“PTRs”), as outlined in Section B of these Booking Conditions.

A “Multi-ContractPackage” exists if you book a combination of at least two different types ofthe following individual travel services, for the purpose of the same trip orholiday:

(a)  transport; or

(b)  accommodation; or

(c)  rental of cars, motor vehicles or motorcycles (in certain circumstances);and

(d)  any other tourist service not intrinsically part of one of the above travel services, provided that those travel services are purchased together from a single visit to ourwebsite and 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.

This is called a Multi-Contract Package as you still have contracts with each of the individual Supplier/Principals providing the Travel Arrangements, however Mr Christopher Bordessa (Sole Trader), will accept responsibility for this booking as a Package Organiser.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please note that where you havemade a booking which consists of not more than one type of travel service as listed at (a) – (c) above, combined with one or more tourist services as listed at (d) above, this will not create a Multi-Contract Package where the tourist services:

-      do not account for 25% of the value of the combination and are notadvertised as, and do not otherwise represent, an essential feature of thepackage; or

-      are selected and purchased after the performance of the transport,accommodation or car rental has started.

These bookings willbe treated as “Single Component” bookings and will not be afforded the benefit of the rights under the PTRs.

Where you have booked a Multi-Contract Package, we still act as agent on behalf of the Supplier/Principals of your chosen Travel Arrangements but we will comply withour legal obligations under the PTRs as your Package Organiser and these are outlined in Section B of these Booking Conditions. This does not prejudice or otherwise affect our agency status with Supplier/Principals.

Please note we may also book a package on your behalf through a Tour Operator, where all of the elements of the package will be booked with the same Supplier/Principal. In this case the Tour Operator will be the Package Organiser. We will make this clear to you when you book.

3.    BOOKING

When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of all members of your party, the terms of these Booking Conditions. The first named person on the booking will be the party leader and will be responsible for making all payments due to us.

When you make a booking, you will have the opportunity to review/confirm all the details of the booking before making payment. Once you have reviewed and confirmed these details and made payment, we will proceed to make the booking with the Supplier/Principal.

Please check that all names, dates and timings are correct on receipt of all documents and advise us of any errors immediately. Any changes to these details will incur the charges stated below. Please ensure that the names given are the same as in the relevant passport. The booking information that you provide to us will be passed on only to the relevant Supplier/Principal of yourTravel Arrangements or other persons necessary for the provision of your Travel Arrangements. The information may be provided to public authorities such ascustoms or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. This applies to any special category (sensitive) information that you give to us such asdetails of any disabilities, or dietary and religious requirements. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons. Certain information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies. If you are travelling to the United States, the US Customsand Border Protection will receive this information for the purposes of preventing and combating terrorism and other transnational serious crimes. If you travel outside the European Economic Area, controls on data protection may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we will be unable to provide your booking. Full details of our data protection policy are available upon request.

4.    PAYMENT

In order to book your chosen Travel Arrangements, you must pay a deposit as required by the Supplier/Principal of the Travel Arrangements (or full payment if booking within 14 weeks of departure or as requested by the Supplier/Principal). Final balances are due approximately at 14 weeks before departure depending upon the Supplier/Principal on your booking.

If you have chosen our split deposit plan then we will take an initial deposit from you at the time of booking, and further deposit payments will be payable as agreed at the time of booking. If you pay the deposit by card, our bank will retain your card details and take the further deposits according to the schedule agreed with you at the time you booked. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree that if you cancel your holiday before the deposit is paid infull then you are still liable to pay the remaining amount of the deposit.

You must pay the full balance by the balance due date notified to you.If full payment is not received by the balance due date, we will notify the Supplier/Principal who may cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out in their booking conditions.

Except where otherwise advised or stated in the booking conditions ofthe Supplier/Principal concerned, all monies you pay to us for Arrangementswill be held on behalf of the Supplier/Principal, with the exception ofbookings covered by an ATOL. Any money paid to us in respect of a booking covered by an ATOL is held by us on behalf of and for the benefit of theTrustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to our obligation topay it to the ATOL Holder for so long as the ATOL Holder does not failfinancially. If the ATOL Holder does fail financially, any money held at thattime by us or subsequently accepted from the consumer by us, is and continuesto be held by us on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the AirTravel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to the ATOL Holder.

5.    PRICES

We reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time.  We also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur.  You must check the price of your chosen Arrangements at the time of booking.

6.    INSURANCE

Many Supplier/Principals require you to take outtravel insurance as a condition of booking with them and where you have bookeda Multi-Contract Package, it is a condition of booking that you take outsuitable travel insurance. Your travel insurance must cover you and your partyagainst the cost of cancellation by you; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money;and other expenses. If we have issued your policy please check it carefully to ensure that all the details are correct and that all relevant information hasbeen provided by you (e.g. pre-existing medical conditions). Failure todisclose relevant information will affect your insurance.

If you choose to travel without adequate insurancecover, neither the Supplier/Principal nor we will be liable to you for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwisehave been available.

7.    LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Booking Conditions are governed by Englishlaw and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales have exclusivejurisdiction over any dispute, claim or other matter which may arise between us(unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case you can bringproceedings in your local court under Scottish or Northern Irish law, asapplicable).  

8.    SPECIAL REQUESTS

If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements, cots or room location), please let us know at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the Supplier/Principal, but we cannot guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed onto the Supplier/Principal is not confirmation that the request will be met.

9.    MEDICAL CONDITIONS

We are not a specialist disabled holiday company but we will do our utmost to cater for any special requirements you may have.If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability whichmay affect your trip, please provide us with full details before we confirmyour booking so that we can try to advise you as to the suitability of yourchosen Travel Arrangements.  We may require you to produce a doctor’s certificate certifying that you are fit to participate in your chosen tour.

Acting reasonably, if the Supplier/Principal isunable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we willnot confirm your booking on the Supplier/Principal’s behalf or, if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will inform the Supplier/Principal who may cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges, when we become aware of these details.

10. CHANGES OR CANCELLATIONS BY YOU

If you wish to change any part of your holiday arrangements we will do our utmost to make that change, however, we would like to advise you that it may not always be possible. Any request for changes must be made in writing by the person who made the original booking. Please ensure that you have receivedwritten confirmation of any changes to your booking prior to travel. If it ispossible to make the change, it will be subject to an administration chargewhich will be notified to you at that time together with any costs or charges incurred or imposed by the relevant Supplier/Principal. Amendments andcancellations can only be accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Supplier/Principal of your Travel Arrangements. The Supplier/Principalmay charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their bookingconditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the Travel Arrangementsand will normally increase closer to the date of departure). No Frills Airlines and/or Chartered normally regard name changes after tickets have been issued as a cancellation and rebooking, and any alteration may incur a 100% cancellation charge. Please note, it may not be possible to make changes within 28 days ofyour scheduled departure date without incurring 100% cancellation charges. We will however, do our utmost to accommodate your requested change or addition.

Please note:some Supplier/Principals do not allow changes and therefore full cancellationcharges will apply.

11.  CHANGES ORCANCELLATIONS BY THE SUPPLIER/PRINCIPAL

We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if the Supplier/Principal needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Arrangements or to cancel them. We will also liaise between you and the Supplier/Principal in relation to any alternative arrangements offered by the supplier but we will have no further liability to you.

12. INFORMATION ACCURACY

Pleasenote, advertised information and prices may have changed by the time you come to book your holiday. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of information and prices when published, regrettably errors do occasionally occurand we reserve the right to correct prices and other details in suchcircumstances. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosenholiday (including the price) at the time of booking.

Please bear in mind that accommodation owners, restaurateurs, night clubowners etc, may wish to maintain or improve their facilities, or even take a break themselves. Flight times and carriers are given for guidance only as there may be changes. Circumstances such as these, or weather conditions, time of year etc., may cause some of the amenities we have described to be unavailable or different from those advertised. When we are told of any significant or long term changes we will always endeavour to advise you priorto your departure. There may also from time to time be general refurbishment at these establishments. These are necessary to maintain standards but if we are informed of such work, we will endeavour to notify you of any activity as soon as possible, however near to your departure this may be.

14. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR BOOKING

Our responsibilities are limited to making the booking in accordance with your instructions. We accept noresponsibility for any information about the Arrangements that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to twice the cost of the commission we earn on your booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the booking is affected). We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of theiremployment.

Please Note: Where you have booked a Multi-Contract Package we will accept responsibility for that Multi-Contract Package as a package organiser and additional terms and condition apply. Please see clause 28 for further information.

15. FORCE MAJEURE

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by “Force Majeure”. For the purposes of these Booking Conditions, Force Majeure means any event beyond our or the Supplier/Principal’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weatherconditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination,  the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, labour strikes, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our or the supplier(s)concerned’s control.

Brexit Implications: please note that certain Travel Arrangements may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’sdecision to leave the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens travelling to, within or through the EU.Please rest assured that this is something we will continue to monitor and will advise our customers as soon as possible if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected. However, since this is something which is completely unprecedented and outside our control, we would treat any such changes as Force Majeure, and whilst we will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, we will not be liable to pay you anycompensation.

16. IMPORTANT FLIGHT INFORMATION[NG9] 

Please note that most airlines do not include hold baggage within the cost of their flights. Where this is the case extra charges will apply. Please check at the time of booking that hold baggage is included within your booking. It is your responsibility to ensure you have sufficient baggage allowance.Please be aware that hold baggage weight restrictions may also vary betweenairlines.

It should be noted, that “No Frills” airlines are normally quite inflexible, often charging more for amendments and cancellations.

Unless you have pre-booked your seats (where this facility is available), it may not be possible to obtain them together. Please bear in mind that even when you do pre-book seats, in most cases we will not be able to confirm the actual seat numbers or position on the aircraft. Where possible, we will offer you a further range of upgrade options designed to give you a more comfortable journey at a reasonable supplement.

The flight routings used in connection with our holidays may be based onspecial fares which do not necessarily take the most direct route. Some itineraries require a change of aircraft on route. A flight that is described as direct is one where there is no need to change aircraft during the journey.However stops may be made en route for re-fuelling or to let passengers onand/or off. Details of any stops will be given on your itinerary. However,should you require this information at an earlier stage, please check with your travel advisor at the time of booking.

The carrier(s), flight timings and types of aircraft shown on ourwebsite and detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and aresubject to alteration and confirmation. We shall inform you of the identity ofthe actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of it.  The latest flight timings will be shown onyour tickets which will be despatched to you approximately two weeks beforedeparture.  You should check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct flight times.  If flight times change aftert ickets have been dispatched we will contact you as soon as we can to let you know.

Please note the existence of a “UK Air Safety list” (available forinspection at https://www.caa.co.uk/commercial-industry/airlines/licensing/requirements-and-guidance/third-country-operator-certificates/) detailing air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the

17. TRAVEL SERVICE VOUCHERS[NG10] 

Please note where applicable vouchers may be issued for your Travel Arrangements. If these have been issued to you, please make sure that you takethe vouchers on holiday with you to hand over to the relevant Supplier/Principal. Please note the voucher also provides details of the process to obtain the service which must be adhered to.

18. ACCOMMODATION RATINGS AND STANDRDS

All ratings are as provided by the relevant Supplier/Principal. These are intended to give a guide to the services and facilities you should expect from your accommodation. Standards and ratings mayvary between countries, as well as between suppliers. We cannot guarantee theaccuracy of any ratings given.

19. BOOKING A ROOM FOR EARLY ARRIVAL OR LATE DEPARTURE[NG11] 

Generally, your accommodation will be available from 2pm on the date ofarrival , and is to be vacated between 10 am and noon on the date of departure,irrespective of your arrival or departure times and unless we have statedotherwise. Should you wish your room to be ready prior to this time frame onyour day of arrival or available after 10 am for an afternoon or eveningdeparture, it may be possible to reserve the room at the time of bookinghowever this will be on a “subject to availability” basis. This could incuradditional cost and is normally paid locally. Should we not be able toaccommodate your request, you may also ask at reception (if applicable) on yourdate of arrival or at any time during your stay.

20. MEALS[NG12] 

Meals if included, are based on table d’hote menus, or a meal voucher system unless specified otherwise. Holidays which include main meals generallycommence with dinner on the day of arrival at your accommodation, terminatingwith breakfast (on half board) or lunch (on full board) on the day ofdeparture. No refunds on meals “not taken” can be given. Special diets of any kind (including vegetarian) can seldom be catered for adequately within the constraints of a table d’hote menu and cannot be guaranteed. We would therefore strongly suggest that anyone with special requirements takes a holiday where no meals (or only breakfast) is included.

Please note, if you book accommodation on an “all-inclusive” basis,accommodations differ in their “all-inclusive” offerings including the time allinclusive options are available. Assumptions should not be made thataccommodations booked on this basis will include for example “branded” spiritsas they may offer local alternatives.

21. BEHAVIOUR

You are expected to conduct yourself in an orderly and acceptable manner and not to disrupt the enjoyment of others. If in the Supplier/Principal’s opinion or in the opinion of any other person inauthority, your behaviour or that of any member of your party is causing or islikely 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, the Supplier/Principal reserves the right to terminate your booking immediately with no further liability to you.  You and/or your party may also be required topay for loss and/or damage caused by your actions and you and each member of your party will be jointly and individually liable for any damage or lossescaused. Full payment for any such damage or losses must be paid directly to the Supplier/Principal prior to departure. If you fail to make payment, you will be responsible for meeting any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us because of your actions together with all costs we incur in pursuing any claim against you.

We cannot be held responsible for the actions orbehaviour of other guests or individuals who have no connection with yourbooking arrangements or with us.

22. COMPLAINTS

As the contract for your Travel Arrangements is between you and the Supplier/Principal, any queries or concerns about your Travel Arrangements should be addressed to them in the first instance. If you have a problem with your Travel Arrangements whilst using them, this must be reported to the Supplier/Principal immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Supplier/Principal to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to may therefore be reduced or extinguished as a result.

If you wish to complain when you return home, write to the Supplier/Principal. You will see their name and contact details in anyconfirmation documents we send you.

If you remain unsatisfied, you can inform us, via bordessaholidays@outlook.com as soon as possible and, in any event, within 28 days of your return to the UK whereby we will endeavour to assist in our capacity as an agent by liaising with the Supplier/Principal on your behalf.

23. PASSPORTS, VISAS AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS

It is your responsibility to check and fulfil the entry, passport, visa, immigration requirements, safety and health formalities applicable to your itinerary. We can only provide general information about this. You must check requirements for your own specific circumstances with the relevant Embassiesand/or Consulates, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (‘FCDO’) and your own doctor as applicable. Requirements and the safety of the countries and areas in which you will be travelling to, do change and you must check the up to date position in good time before departure in order to make your decisions accordingly.

Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. If your passport is in its final year, you should check with the Embassy of the country you are visiting. For further information contact thePassport Office on 0870 5210410 or visit https://www.gov.uk/browse/citizenship/passports.

Special conditions apply for travel to the USA, and all passengers must have individual machine readable passports. Please check https://uk.usembassy.gov.  

For European travel you should obtain a UK Global Health Insurance Card (UK GHIC) prior to departure unless you are able to rely upon an existing European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

For travel to Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein andSwitzerland, UK GHIC and EHIC can not be used for medical treatment. Passengersto these destinations should obtain comprehensive medical insurance prior todeparture, including cover for emergency medical treatment and associatedcosts.

Up to date travel advice can be obtained from the FCDO, visit https://www.gov.uk/travelaware.  

Non British passport holders,including other EU nationals, should obtain up to date advice on entry,passport, visa, health and immigration requirements from the Embassy, High Commission or Consulate of your destination or country(ies) through which you are travelling,

We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel, or incur any other loss because you have not complied with any entry, passport, visa, immigrationrequirements or health formalities. You agree to reimburse us in relation to any fines or other losses which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any entry passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities.

Please note: The impacts of Brexit may change your visa, ticket and health requirements. Third country nationals may require an airport transit visa when passing through EU Member States. There is the potential for disruption at borders when travelling betweenthe UK and EU Member States and you should allow sufficient time for this when planning any onward travel. You should check any impacts of Brexit on your travel, in advance of your departure, to ensure that you fulfil the requirements post-Brexit, including any passport validly requirements.

If you have booked a Multi-Contract Package and whilst you are on holiday, you find yourself in difficulty for any reason we wil loffer you such prompt assistance as is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we will provide you with appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and with distance communications and finding alternative Travel Arrangements. Where you require assistance that is not owing to any failure by us, our employees or sub-contractors, we will not be liable for the costs of any alternative Travel Arrangements or other such assistance you require. Any Supplier/Principal,airline or other transport supplier may however pay for or provide refreshments and/or appropriate accommodation and you should make a claim directly to them.Subject to the other terms of these Booking Conditions, we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur in the above circumstances, if you fail to obtain our prior authorisation before making your own Travel Arrangements.

31. DELAYS & MISSED TRANSPORT

If you or any member of your party misses your flight or other transport arrangement, it is cancelled or you are subject to a delay of over 3 hours for any reason, you must contact us and the airline or other transport supplier concerned immediately.

Under UK Law, you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensationfrom the airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at UK airports and will also be available from airlines. If the airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority at www.caa.co.uk/passengers. Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday price from us. If, for any reason, you do not claim against the airline and make a claim for compensation from us, you must, at the time of payment of any compensation to you, make a complete assignment to us of the rights you have against the airline in relation to the claim that gives rise to that compensation payment. A delay or cancellation  to your flight does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with your flight.  

We cannot accept liability for any delay which is due to any of the reasons setout in clause 15 of these Booking Conditions (which includes the behaviour of any passenger(s) on any flight who, for example, fails to check in or board on time).

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).
