If a complaint cannot be resolved amicably between us, the matter will be referred to arbitration.

10, HOLIDAY INSURANCE It is a condition of your contract with Yorkshire Rose Holidays that you should take out adequate insurance to cover you in the event of illness, personal injury or death during the course of your holiday.

We cannot accept no responsibility if passengers are not in possession of the correct travel documents.

12, HEALTH AND SAFTY In some foreign countries, standards of infrastructure, safety and hygiene may be less than what are used to within the UK. You should exercise greater care for your own protection. Under normal circumstances most Western European countries do not require visitors to be vaccinated. However we will indicate any known vaccination or other health requirements where possible for each country to be visited. If you are not sure of health requirements of the country you are visiting you are advised to check with your own doctor well in advance of travelling.

YORKSHIRE ROSE HOLIDAYS CUSTOMER PROMISE

2, THE PRICE OF YOUR HOLIDAY The price of your holiday is guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharges except for those resulting from fuel costs, government action, including additional bonding or licensing requirements and VAT. In all cases we reserve the right to pass these amounts on in full. Holiday prices include all coach travel, hotel accommodation and meals as specified in the holiday description and VAT at the current rate where applicable.

Morning coffee, afternoon tea and other refreshments are not included unless otherwise stated. Some hotels may make a small additional charge for any porterage and tea or coffee served after a meal. Gratuities to the hotel staff and driver/courier are discretionary.

3, IF WE CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY It is necessary for there to be a minimum number of passengers on a tour in order for the tour to operate. In certain circumstances, therefore, we may have to cancel your holiday, and if this should occur we will return to you all the money you have paid to us, or offer you a suitable alternative. However we will not normally cancel your holiday, a) immediately prior to the departure date unless you have not paid for your holiday in full. b) After the balance due date, except as a result of hostilities, political unrest or other circumstances amounting to force majeure, also including strike action. If we have to cancel your holiday at any time, Yorkshire Rose Holidays are liable only for any monies you may have paid to us at the time of cancellation.

4, OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU We accept responsibility for ensuring that all component parts of your holiday as described in our brochure are supplied to you to a reasonable standard. If any such part is not provided in the advertised manner, we will pay you reasonable compensation unless the non-provision was due to circumstances which we could not predict and which were beyond our control such as adverse weather, road or traffic conditions. Please remember that some amenities (e.g. hotel lifts, swimming pools, etc.) require servicing and cleaning and may not therefore be available at all times. Some services may be affected by weather conditions and their availability is entirely at the discretion of the provider of the service. Entertainment provided by hotels is frequently subject to demand and its nature and/or frequency may be varied if there is a lack of demand or insufficient numbers staying at the hotel. The published running times of services are estimates only and we will not be liable for any loss (howsoever caused) arising from delay or failure to operate services in accordance with published timings.

HOLIDAY INFORMATION 1, CHILD REDUCTIONS On most holidays, reductions are available for children aged between 2 and 14 providing the child shares a room with 2 full fare paying passengers, although there are some variations. Please enquire at the time of booking.

2, LUGGAGE We ask you to keep luggage down to one suitcase per person measuring no more than 26in x 8in x 15in and weighing no more than 33lb (15kg). In the interest of the health and safety of employees we ask clients to strictly observe the weight limit. Porter age facilities for suitcase’s which exceed this limit will be refused. A small holdall can be taken on board the coach.

3, WHEELCHAIRS / DISABLED PASSENGERS Wheelchairs must be flat folding due to space limitations. If you intend to take a wheelchair notification must be made to our office at the time of booking. Some tours include lengthy periods of travel and some walking or sightseeing excursions. Also some hotels will have steps to contend with and may not possess lifts, and although we will try our best to look after wheelchair / disabled passengers it is important for you to notify us at the time of booking under the special requirements header on the booking form so that necessary arrangements can be made to minimise discomfort.

4, SEAT ALLOCATION AND SPECIFICATION Seat requests for particular seats can be made on most holidays when booking. However, since allocations are made on a first come, first served basis, early booking is advisable for preferred seats. 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 amend 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. Specific seats will not be allocated on feeder vehicles.

5, SMOKING All coaches/tours are none smoking. Courtesy stops will be made on route.

6, TRAVEL DOCUMENTS When you have paid the balance we will send all the necessary labels, so that you receive them in good time before the holiday departure date. Certain documents, for example theatre or boat tickets, may have to be retained and your driver will then issue them to you on the tour departure date.

7, DIETARY REQUIEMENTS Any special dietary requirements must be specified under the special requests section on the booking form at the time of booking. On occasions hotels charge an additional cost for this service. Any extra costs incurred must be paid to the hotel by yourself before the departure from the hotel.

8, SEAT BELTS New legislation has been introduced regarding the use of seat belts. It is now your responsibility to ensure your seat belts are securely fastened at all times whilst travelling.

9, ROOM AND FACILITIES All our hotel accommodation has private facilities included with the price of the tour. On all holidays we have availability on a number of ground floor and single rooms available on a first come first serve basis. Requests for this accommodation must be made in the special requests section of the booking form, as stated this type of accommodation cannot be guaranteed. If lifts are available at a hotel the facility will generally be shown on the holiday page.

10, DRIVERS AND COURIERS Gratuities are not included for your driver/courier. We feel that you would rather deal with this personally, but for good service we would suggest £1.50 per day from each passenger.

11, CUSTOMS REGULATIONS Duty paid/free allowances are available to passengers over the age of 17 years (where applicable). It is the passengers’ responsibility to understand the current allowances. For a passenger(s) detained by customs officials for over-exceeding current allowances or disobeying the rules, the company will have no choice but to continue the journey and will accept no responsibility for travel or any other expenses incurred.

12, CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES Yorkshire Rose Holidays’ conditions of carriage require that no person may be permitted to drink alcoholic beverages at any time aboard the coach. Failure to comply with this may result in the clients’ holiday being terminated.

13, FINANCIAL SECURITY To ensure our clients are fully covered in the unlikely event of the insolvency of the company we have all clients funds entrusted within a clients account. This means any money paid to Yorkshire Rose Holidays is put directly into the account and cannot be retrieved by Yorkshire Rose Holidays until the completion of your holiday. Thus ensuring that 100% of all clients money is safe in the event of insolvency.

1, RESERVING YOUR HOLIDAY When we have confirmed that we have available space on the holiday of your choice, a confirmation/invoice will be sent to you normally within 7 days of your signed booking form and the contract is made between us when you receive this conformation.
