Once the contract is made we are responsible for providing the travel arrangements you have booked and you are responsible to pay us for the arrangements. In parties of two or more people the person who makes the booking, by signing the booking form or otherwise contracting as telephone order with us, accepts responsibility for making payments to us for all members of the party.If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. 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). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.
Payments: Full payment for all products including promotional and offer fares based on foreign currency are required at the time of booking regardless of the product arrangements being confirmed. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain confirmation and cannot offer an alternative, a refund will be issued. The Company will not accept responsibility for cash sent through the post. The company reserves the right to pass on any charges relating to returned cheques and credit card charge backs. Taxes and fuel surcharges do fluctuate and all bookings are subject to additional charges as these are consolidated contract fares with special conditions. You will be advised if additional monies are due. Payment can be made by all major Credit Cards. The Company reserves the right to charge you in addition for any handling fees incurred by us in relation to bookings made by credit or charge card. You will be notified of the relevant charges prior to issue of a confirmation invoice. If your travel documents are being paid for with a third party credit/debit card we will require written authorization to be provided by the cardholder. We would also like to draw your attention to the purchase of products by credit or debit cards where payment does not take place in person. In accordance with mail order regulations, all documents will be posted to the billing address of the credit/debit cardholder and not the address of the passenger (unless they are one and the same).

The Company will not accept responsibility for documents mislaid or lost by the Royal Mail.
Deposits:At the time of booking you must pay a deposit, the amount of which varies from £150 per person up to the total holiday cost, depending on the type of booking, and pay any balance of the cost of the holiday no later than 10 weeks before departure. If you book is inside 10 weeks of departure full payment is required at time of booking. If you do not make the required payments your booking will be cancelled. If you have paid a deposit and fail to pay the balance on time, the deposit paid will be forfeited. Fares are not guaranteed until full payment has been received.
Balance:You need to pay the balance by the due date. It is very important that you pay balance payments when due because failure to do so may lead to the cancellation of your holiday/flights and still leave you liable to pay cancellation charges. Where an extra "booking charge" applies it will be advised at the time of booking. Until full payment has been received the price of your booking may increase as a result of fuel or other surcharges which may be imposed by suppliers.
