The balance of the price of your holiday must be paid at least 8 weeks before your departure If you book within our balance due period, you will need to pay the total holiday cost at the time of booking If the balance is not paid in time, we reserve the right to cancel your holiday, retain your deposit, and apply the cancellation charges set out in the paragraph below The date of cancellation will normally be the date we receive your written confirmation that you intend to cancel or 15 days after the balance due date, whichever comes first

Where optional items are purchased as part of the holiday, these are payable on the balance due date except where items, such as theatre tickets, have been specifically purchased for you In this case the cost will be payable at a separate date notified to you and will not normally be refunded unless we obtain a refund from the supplier we use

3. Brochure accuracy

Although “Voel Holidays Limited” make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the brochure information and pricing, regrettably errors do sometimes occur You must therefore ensure you check the price and all other details of your holiday with us at the time of booking and when you receive our confirmation invoice

4. Our Pricing Policy

“Voel Holidays Limited” endeavour to ensure that the most up to date and correct prices are shown in our brochure Occasionally, an incorrect price may be shown, due to an error When we become aware of any such error, we will endeavour to notify you at the time of booking (if we are then aware of the mistake) or as soon as reasonably possible We reserve the right to cancel the booking if you do not wish to accept the price which is applicable to the holiday Local Authorities in many towns and cities throughout Europe have introduced new tourist taxes which must be paid directly to the hotel by all guests in person These taxes are not included in our prices, but we will notify you when applicable

Holiday prices include all travel, hotel accommodation and meals as specified in the holiday description and VAT payable in the UK where applicable The price of the holiday will not be subjected to any surcharges except those arising from exchange rate changes,

transportation including the price of fuel, air & ferry operator fares and tolls, embarkation or disembarkation fees at terminals, duties and taxes (including the rate of VAT) Even in these cases we will absorb the cost equivalent to cost of the first 2% of the holiday price

Amounts more than this plus £1 administration fee and Travel Agents commission will be surcharged to you If this means the total cost of the holiday increases by more than 8% then you are entitled to cancel your holiday and receive a full refund of all monies paid except any insurance premium and amendment charges We will communicate the options with you either through email or letter, with a reminder if necessary If you exercise the right to cancel, we must receive written notice within 20 days of the date of the surcharge invoice

If, after our confirmation has been issued, you wish to change to another of our holidays or change departure date, we will do our utmost to make the changes, but we cannot guarantee to do so

However, notification must be received in writing at our offices from the person who made the booking, at least 8 weeks before departures

This must be accompanied by a payment of £10 to cover our administrative costs, plus costs we incur in making the amendment

Alterations cannot be made within 6 weeks of departure and any such request for an alteration will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and will be subject to the cancellation charges set out in paragraph below Some arrangements cannot be changed without paying a cancellation charge of up to 100% of the ticket cost

6. Transferring your booking

You can transfer your booking to somebody else, but the person must satisfy all the conditions of the holiday and you must inform us either by letter or email no less than 7 days before departure This transfer will cost £10 plus reasonable costs to make the transfer You will remain responsible for ensuring payment before the balance due date
