In some cases where 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 brought or a suitable alternative (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.

AIR TERMS & CONDITIONS

question as well as to our representative without delay and complete a report form whilst in resort. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract.

11. WHAT HAPPENS TO COMPLAINTS Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be amicably settled may be referred to arbitration, if the customer so wishes, under a special Scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents, and administered independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA website (www.abta.com). The Scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person.

There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking form.

Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The Scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. The application for arbitration and Statement of Claim must be received by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators within nine months of the date of return from the holiday.

Outside this time limit arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if the company agrees, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. For injury and illness claims, you may like to use the ABTA / Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Mediation Procedure. This is a voluntary scheme and requires your tour operator to agree for mediation to go ahead. The aim is to help you resolve your dispute in a quick and cost effective way. Details on request or from www.abta.com.

12. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements.

However we will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. Our liability will be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: (a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and

100

(b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions.

You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices at the address above. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in clause 9. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority on 020 7240 6061 www.caa.co.uk 13. PROMPT ASSISTANCE IN RESORT If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances.

AIR BOOKING TERMS &CONDITIONS CONDITIONS 102

We know your holiday is very important to you. It is very important to us since we want you to enjoy it and continue to travel with Leons Holidays in the future. We also care about our reputation and want to be sure you understand your commitment when making a booking, therefore we would be pleased if you would spend a few minutes reading the booking conditions below as they detail your commitment to us and our obligations to you, when a contract is made between us.

1. HOW TO MAKE A CONTRACT WITH US? You can make the contract in a number of ways, by telephone or visiting our booking office. When making the contract for yourself and the others named in your party, you do so having read, understood and accepted our booking conditions and the Holiday information provided in this brochure. When you make your booking you must pay a deposit for every person named on the booking, details of which are listed below. If you book within the balance due date, which is six weeks before the date of departure, eight weeks on air holidays, you must pay the total price of the holiday (including any insurance premiums) at the time you book.

You must pay the balance of the price of the holiday on or before the balance due date.

No further reminders will be sent. If you do not, we will cancel your booking and you will have to pay the cancellation charges set out in section 5. The contract between us is made when your booking is entered on our computer and a booking reference number is produced. At that moment the contract between us begins. We will send you a confirmation within 14 days of the receipt of your payment. Please check it carefully to ensure all the details are correct.

2. WHAT DO I HAVE TO PAY AND WHEN? When you make a contract we accept it on the terms set out in this brochure, a deposit is required within 7 days, £50 for UK Holidays and £75 for Continental Holidays and £250 Air/Cruise Holidays a; along with the appropriate insurance payment. Leons are also selling agents for Travelwright, Travel Europe, Success tours, Euro tours and Fred Olsen cruises. Separate conditions apply to Air and Cruise Holidays. Your obligation is to pay the price of the holiday and recognise your liabilities if you wish to alter the holiday or have to make a cancellation. On our part we have obligations to provide you with the

holiday you have booked. Our specification of that holiday and our terms are clearly stated in this brochure. Your contract is entered into with Leons Holidays. These booking conditions apply to all holidays sold from this brochure and all supplementary advertising publications.

3. SPECIAL REQUESTS Should you have any special requests (such as low floor rooms, sea view, adjoining rooms) you MUST advise us at the time of booking.

We will then pass on your special request to the hotel(s) concerned. We generally receive many requests, however, and under no circumstances can we guarantee that they will be met or that the hotel(s) is/are able to provide the requested facility. We cannot, therefore, accept a booking which is made conditional upon a special request being satisfied.

4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING If, after our confirmation has been issued, you wish to change to another of our current holidays or change the departure date, we will do our utmost to make the changes, you should notify us in writing, and that request must be from the person responsible for the original reservation. Such a request must be made before the date that the original balance becomes due, and be accompanied by an administration fee of £10 per person.

Any alteration made after the original balance is due, will be regarded as a cancellation, and will be subject to the charges set out in our cancellation terms in paragraph 5.

5. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY You, or any members of your party, may cancel your holiday at any time provided that the cancellation is made by the person who signed the booking form and is communicated in writing, direct to Leons Holidays. As this incurs administrative costs we will retain your deposit and, in addition,

to be visited. You are advised to check with your own doctor before travelling.

8. PASSPORT AND VISA REQUIREMENTS For all Continental Holidays you will require a full 10 year British passport. If you have any doubts about your status as resident British subject or you do not hold a full British passport, you must check with the Embassies or Consulates of the countries to be visited to confirm the passport or visa requirements needed in your particular circumstances. We cannot except responsibility if passengers are not in possession of the correct travel documents.

9. UNREASONABLE CONDUCT Leons Holidays reserves the unconditional right to refuse a booking or terminate a clients holiday in the event of unreasonable conduct which in Leons Holidays opinion is likely to cause damage, distress, danger or annoyance to other clients, employees, property or to any third party. If you are prevented from travelling, or continuing your holiday by such a termination, Leons Holidays responsibility for your holiday ceases.

2. LUGGAGE We ask you to keep luggage to one medium sized suitcase per person weighing a maximum of 15 kilos, but a small bag can also be taken on board the coach.

3. SEAT ALLOCATION AND SPECIFICATION Requests for particular seats can be made on most holidays when booking, but since allocations are made on a first come first served basis, early booking is advisable. When bookings are made with us you will be offered the best seats that are available on the coach at the time. There is a seating plan of the coach for each holiday, but it is possible that, on occasions, for operational reasons a coach of different configuration may be used and we must, therefore, reserve the right to alter a seating plan and allocate seats other than those you have booked, although this will be avoided as far as possible. We shall have no liability in relation to any such change of specification.

4. NON SMOKING COACHES All our coaches are totally non smoking.

5. CARE FOR THE DISABLED The holidays in this brochure have been carefully planned to include as much interest as possible. Inevitably some of the holidays include lengthy periods of travel and some walking on sight seeing excursions, and therefore may not be suitable for everybody.

In the interests of Safety for all concerned, passengers must have enough mobility to board and alight from our coaches, with the minimum of assistance. Additionally, many of the hotels will have steps to contend with and may not possess lifts, and although we will try our best to look after disabled passengers, it is important that you inform our office at the time of booking of any medical condition

that would affect your mobility or diet, in order that we may pass on this important information to whom it may concern.

6. SPECIAL DIETS You may have special needs with regard to diet, if so, please make sure that you inform us when booking. This will be notified to the hotel on your holiday and any extra costs incurred must be paid to the hotel by yourself before departure from the hotel. We cannot guarantee hotelier’s compliance with dietary requests.

7. ROOMS Private Facilities, Single or Ground Floor Rooms. All of our holidays include, within the price, accommodation with private facilities.

There is usually a limited number of ground or low floor rooms available and requests for this accommodation must be made at the time of booking in the “Special Requests” section of the booking form, but this type of accommodation cannot be guaranteed and therefore cannot be a precondition of booking. On any holiday there are only a limited number of single rooms, and if one is available it may be subject to a supplementary charge. Please enquire at the time of booking.

8. ENTERTAINMENT Some of our hotels arrange entertainment which could include music, dancing etc.

However, the nature and frequency of the entertainment presented is at the discretion of the hotel and therefore not guaranteed and could be withdrawn if there is a lack of demand or insufficient numbers in the hotel.
