Our responsibility for your booking. We act as a booking agent on behalf of the Supplier/Principal. As agent, we accept no responsibility for the acts or omissions of the Supplier/Principal or for the Travel Arrangements provided by them. Our responsibilities are limited to making the booking in accordance with your instructions. We accept no responsibility for any information about the Travel Arrangements that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to the total cost of your booking with us (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the booking is affected).

Payment, Deposit & Balance: Please note for most bookings full payment may be required IMMEDIATELY i.e. before you receive our confirmation invoice/eticket. If this applies you will be advised during the booking process.
