Where we can, an amendment fee of £100 per person/per booking (as applicable) per amendment will be payable together with any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure 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.

Examples change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard, changes of tour route.

16. Force Majeure
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss (as more fully described in clause 10(2) below) as a result of “force majeure”. In these booking conditions, “force majeure” 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. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strike, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serous disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions 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) concern’s control.
17. Insurance
We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential. Please ensure you purchase a policy which is suitable for your particular needs as soon as possible and ideally at the time of booking so that you have protection in the event that you need to cancel for a reason which is covered by the policy. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday.
18. Your Obligations
You shall at all times behave in a safe, responsible and courteous manner; comply with all instructions; cultural and dress code of the country, regulations and codes of practice issued by us or our suppliers; ensure that you comply with all age restrictions imposed by our suppliers; ensure that you comply with all arrival times, and dress appropriately for the event. If you breach these obligations, we may cancel or curtail the event or any part of it and in those circumstances you shall not be entitled to any refund. You shall take out insurance suitable for your needs (including delays for events involving travel by land, sea, or air) before the event.
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you. Full payment for any such damage or loss (reasonably estimated if not precisely known) must be paid directly at the time to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier.
If the actual cost of the loss or damage exceeds the amount paid where estimated, you must pay the difference once known. If the actual cost is less than the amount paid, the difference will be refunded.
You will also be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us and all costs incurred by us (including our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. You should ensure you have appropriate travel insurance to protect you if this situation arises.
We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If in our reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in authority, you behave in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the accommodation or other service. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.
19. Conditions of suppliers
Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions.
18. Our Responsibilities
(1) We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an “organiser under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 as set out below and as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of all travel services included in your package, as set out in your confirmation invoice. Subject to these Booking Conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange those services and we don’t remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of time, and this has affected the enjoyment of your package holiday you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in this package. The level of any such price reduction or compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: following the complaints procedure as described in these Booking Conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees’ or suppliers’ negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your holiday. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.
(2) We will not be responsible or pay you any compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from
(a) the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected;
(b) the acts and/or omissions of a third party unconnected with the provision of and the services contracted for which were which were unavoidable and extraordinary
(c) -‘Force majeure’ as defined in clause 9 above
(3) We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this clause:
(a) Claims which don’t involve injury, illness or death: the maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is up to three times the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong, and you or your party has not received any benefit at all from your booking.
19. Excursions, activities and general area information
We may provide you with information (before departure and/or when you are on holiday) about activities, excursions and other services which are available in the area you are visiting. We have no involvement in any such activities, excursions or services which are not run, supervised, controlled or inspected in any way by us. They are provided by local operators or other third parties who are entirely independent of us. They do not form any part of your contract with us even where we suggest particular operators/other third parties and/or assist you in booking such activities or excursions in any way or they can be booked through your hotel or our local agent. We cannot accept any liability on any basis in relation to such activities, excursions or services.
Also We cannot guarantee the accuracy of information given in relation to such activities, excursions or other services or about the area you are visiting generally or that any particular excursion, activity or other service which does not form part of our contract will take place as these services are not under our control. We can advise you of the latest known situation at the time of booking on request.
20. Golf Reservations, Golf Buggies & Maintenance at Golf Courses
We endeavour to book you good tee times at the time of booking, which are confirmed by our suppliers in each destination. Golf courses however from time to time have the right to change tee times because of the flexibility they need to organise members competitions, we will in such circumstances let you know of the impact this may have on the original tee times you have had confirmed and we will do our best to find a good solution, but do not accept liability for such a change. An air of flexibility is thus required.
Furthermore, golf courses do have the right to carry out emergency maintenance work if they feel the need to do this and providing that we have not had advanced warning from the golf clubs we cannot accept any liability for the condition of golf courses in such circumstances. In such circumstances golf courses may offer free buggies or a credit on the green fee paid in resort to make up for the change of condition.
However, most golf courses do map out their maintenance programme several months in advance, which we will advise you about at the time of booking, or later if not known or available at time of booking, this gives you the opportunity to change courses or days of play at any given point that we know about the works being carried out.
Similarly, in terms of the availability of golf buggies we cannot accept responsibility for buggies being available or not, unless they are an integral part of the package, and it is then our duty to inform you. Obviously, we will try and inform you if you have stated at the time of booking you can only play with a buggy. The reality is buggies are rarely a problem accessing and paying for locally. However, weather conditions also play a part in golf course closures and sometimes the non-availability of buggies at short notice can be a reality. Clients need to understand that these things can happen. No refunds or compensation is valid in these situations.
21. Customer Feedback
In the unlikely event that you have a problem whilst on your holiday then you must contact the appropriate person(s) at the earliest opportunity, for example accommodation/restaurant manager. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to the supplier as soon as possible. Until we know about a problem or complaint, we cannot begin to resolve it. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. If you remain dissatisfied, however, you must write to us within 14 days of your return to the UK, giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint. Only the party leader should write to us. If you fail to follow these simple complaints procedure, your right to claim the compensation you may otherwise have been entitled to may be affected or even lost as a result. We will acknowledge all correspondence within 5 working days and endeavour to deal with the complaint as quickly as possible.
22. Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
No part of this agreement shall confer on any third party any benefit or right to enforce any terms of this agreement.
23. Special requests and medical problems
If you have any special request, you must advise us in writing at the time of booking.
Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met unless we have specifically confirmed this. For your own protection, you should obtain confirmation in writing from us that your request will be complied with (where it is possible for us to give this) if your request is important to you.
Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met.
Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability.
We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e., any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests.
If you have any medical problem or disability which may affect your holiday or any special requirements as a result of any medical condition or disability (including any which affect the booking process), please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements.
In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking and whenever any change in the condition or disability occurs. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday develops after your booking has been confirmed.
24. Passports, visas and health requirements
The passport, visa and health requirements applicable for Non-Pakistanis and Pakistanis living overseas are provided under travel advice. If you do not hold a Pakistani passport or a NICOP, you will need to get a visa, which you can get from the Pakistani High Commission in the UK or Pakistan embassy if residing outside of the UK, please go to their website for details. In failure to have any necessary travel or other documents results in fines, surcharges or other financial penalty being imposed on us, you will be responsible for reimbursing us accordingly.
If travelling on a British passport, it will need to be valid for more than 6 months, a full British passport presently takes approximately 2 to 6 weeks to obtain. If any member of your party is 18 or over and haven’t yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least 6 maaka kafaza sane halldon The 11 Bassman Pandan manat aantiems save identiku kafara laulaa nane Beat nasanad and will make van to attend an WOOLS DCIVIe your Uy. The UN russpurs device must on your entity vervreissung your mat pussport und win us you suen un interview in order to do this. Requirements may change and you must check the up-to-date position in good time before departure.
Information on health is contained in the Department of Health leaflet 17 (Health Advice for Travellers) available from your local Department of Health by telephone on 0870 1555455 and most Post Offices. It is the party leader’s responsibility to ensure that all members of the party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you.
We regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry correct documentation.
25. Prices and Website Accuracy
Please note, the information and prices shown on our website may have changed by the time you come to book your holiday. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the website and prices at the time of printing, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at the time of booking. This website is our sole responsibility. It is not issued on behalf of and does not commit any independent organisation/carriers whose services are featured in it.
26. The cost of your holiday
The price of your travel arrangements has been calculated using exchange rates quoted on EX.com or Barclays Bank, in relation to the following currencies: USD, GBP, PRS, EUROS and RNB.
We reserve the right to amend the price of unsold holidays at any time and correct errors in the prices of confirmed holidays. We also reserve the right to increase the price of confirmed holidays solely to allow for increases which are a direct consequence of changes in:
(1) the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from the cost of fuel or other power sources;
(ii) the level of taxes or fees chargeable for services applicable to the holiday imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; and
(iii) the exchange rates relevant to the package.
However, if this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your confirmed holiday (excluding any insurance premiums, amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements), you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday 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 could show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.
Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you less an administrative fee of £10. 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 holiday within 20 days of your departure nor will refunds be paid during this period.
27. Prompt Assistance
If, whilst you are on holiday, you find yourself in difficulty for any reason, we will offer 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 assistance with distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements.
Where you require assistance which 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, 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. Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for your assistance in the event that the difficulty is caused intentionally by you or a member of your party, or otherwise through your or your party’s negligence.
28. Safety standards
Please note, it is the requirements and standards of the country in which any services which make up your holiday are provided which apply to those services and not those of the UK. As a general rule, these requirements and standards will not be the same as the UK and may sometimes be lower.
29. Foreign Office Advice
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office publishes regularly updated travel information on its website www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo which you are recommended to consult before booking and in good time before departure. As a rule foreigners are advised by the FCO to travel to Pakistan, only if necessary as it is deemed that there is a high risk of terrorism. However many trips made by foreign tourists are trouble free and many local residents are going about their daily lives with no threat. We will endeavour to keep you abreast of the political situation and ensure that only areas deemed safe by the Pakistani government are visited, should there be any risk of riots in the days you plan your visit, we will offer you alternative dates of travel or a full refund. In the unfortunate event of a terrorist attack, whilst out there, we cannot be held responsible.
30. Jurisdiction
This agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any disputes arising between you and us or our suppliers.
31. Changes to these Terms and Conditions
We may need to make changes to these terms and conditions. Any changes can only be made by us and not any third-party member. We reserve the right to amend or improve these terms and conditions without prior notification. When it is necessary for changes to be made, we will forward you a copy of these changes. All reservations will abide by the amended terms, with the exception of reservations already made.
