General Informations
Booking Conditions
In this Booking Form the word 'Organiser' means the person who arranges your transport, accommodation etc., and who offers it as a holiday. 'Consumer' means you, the person who buys or agrees to buy the holiday or any person on whose behalf you agree to purchase the holiday and who is listed on the Booking Form or any other person to whom you transfer a holiday, which you have bought.

1. THE CONTRACT
a) No contract shall arise until the Organiser has received this completed Booking Form together with a deposit or full payment for the holiday and has issued written confirmation of its acceptance to the Consumer. The terms of contract are contained solely in this booking form, the Organiser's confirmation, the Organiser's Brochure or other descriptive material, any airline or sailing ticket issued and the itinerary issued by the Organiser.

b) The Organiser reserves the right to terminate this contract if the behaviour or conduct of a Consumer either prior to or during a holiday is likely to endanger the safety or well being of other Consumers in his company or that of the Consumer himself.

2. DISABLED PERSONS
It shall be the Consumer's responsibility to disclose to the Organiser prior to booking any physical or mental condition of a member of his party, which may be relevant. The Organiser reserves the right to decline or provide a holiday for a disabled person where, in the Organiser's opinion, that holiday would be inconsistent with the special needs of a disabled person.

3. PAYMENT
The holiday must be paid for in full at least 8 weeks before the scheduled date of departure. If it is not paid by that date, the Organiser shall have the option to cancel the holiday. If the Organiser exercises that option or the Consumer cancels the holiday (which cancellation must be notified in writing to the Organiser) the above cancellation charges are payable by the Consumer.

4. SUBSTITUTION

a) Where the Consumer is prevented from proceeding with the holiday, he may transfer his booking, having first given the Organiser reasonable notice in writing of his intention to do so before the departure date. The transferee from the Consumer must sign a Booking Form and comply with any other requirements of the Organiser applicable to the holiday.
b) A Consumer who transfers a holiday booking shall be jointly and severally liable with the transferee to the Organiser for payment of any balance due in respect of the holiday and for a substitution fee of € per person substituted, subject to a maximum of € per person substituted, subject to a maximum of € per booking (or such other greater sum as may be authorised).

5. ALTERATION BY CONSUMER
A request for alteration must be in writing and must be accompanied by a payment of € per booking before ticketing and € after ticketing, which payment is not refundable. If the alteration is impractable the original holiday arrangement shall continue to apply. If only some of the Consumers booked request a change, which is found to be practicable, a price adjustment for all Consumers on the same booking may be payable and must be discharged on the date shown in the Organiser's written confirmation of such change. If the Consumer in complying with the foregoing requirements makes default, the Organiser shall have the rights referred to in clause 3.

6. SPECIAL REQUESTS
Special requests (e.g. porthole, adjacent cabins, adjacent accommodation) shall be communicated by the Consumer in writing to the Organiser at the time of making the booking. The Organiser shall use reasonable endeavour to fulfil such requests. The Organiser shall only be obliged to provide services in accordance with special requests where it specifically commits itself in writing to do so. No liability shall attach to the Organiser for failure to comply with a special request, which has not been confirmed by it in writing.

7. ALTERATIONS BY THE ORGANISER
a) The Organiser reserves the right to alter, change, curtail or cancel a holiday.

b) If as a consequence of ‘force majeure' (as hereinafter defined in sub-paragraph (f) of this clause), the Organiser is obliged to curtail, alter, extend or cancel a holiday, the Consumer shall not be at liberty to maintain a claim for compensation or otherwise for any loss arising as a consequence of the said curtailment alteration, extension or cancellation of the holiday.

c) A minimum number of bookings are required for a programme of holidays. The Organiser's obligation to provide that programme shall be contingent upon the Organiser receiving and maintaining that minimum number of bookings. In the event that the Organiser does not receive the minimum number of bookings or having received such minimum number has that number reduced by reason of cancellations or transfer by consumers or otherwise, the Organiser shall be entitled to cancel or curtail the relevant programme at any time up to 4 weeks prior to the departure date and the Consumer shall not be entitled to make a claim for loss arising as a consequence of cancellation for curtailment in these circumstances. The Organiser shall notify the Consumer within seven days of any cancellation or curtailment necessitated by the foregoing circumstances.

d) If prior to the departure date there is a cancellation, alteration, change or curtailment relating to a holiday, which results in more than 18 hours change in the time of departure, or a change of resort or in the type of accommodation offered, or some other change which fundamentally alters the holiday, the Organiser shall, if practicable, offer an alternative comparable holiday of at least similar standard or shall refund the Consumer all monies paid. Unless within seven days of issue of the offer of an alternative holiday it is accepted by the Consumer in writing, the Organiser shall assume that the Consumer has declined such offer and the Consumer shall only be entitled to return of payments made.

e) Where the Organiser makes an alteration in the holiday as contemplated in sub-paragraph (d) of this clause the Consumer shall be entitled to receive compensation in accordance with the scale set out in this paragraph. No compensation shall be payable where the alteration is for the reasons referred to in sub-paragraph (b) or (c) of this clause or where the Consumer accepts the alteration as provided for in clause (d).

f) In this Booking Form, the terms ‘force majeure' means Acts of God, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, fire or other destruction of any vessel, craft or vehicle to be used in connection with a holiday, riots, acts of war, civil commotion, exercise of legislative, municipal, military or other authority, strikes, industrial action, requisition of equipment, mechanical breakdown, shortage of fuel, insolvency or default of any carrier or service supplier connected with a holiday, fraud perpetrated against the Organiser or any other reason beyond the control of the Organiser.

"The circumstances in which the price may be varied shall only be to allow for changes in: a) transport costs, including the cost of fuel; b) dues, taxes or disembarkation fees at ports and airports, or c) the exchange rates which apply to the particular package."

ARBITRATION ARRANGED BY THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF ARBITRATORS - IRISH BRANCH ON BEHALF OF TOUR OPERATOR (Organiser) MEMBERS OF THE I.T.A.A. (as defined in Section 3 of the Package Holidays and Travel Trade Act, 1995). * Administered under the Rules of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators - Irish Branch.

INTRODUCTION
Most problems related to a holiday are resolved by informal discussions directly between the Organiser/Retailer and the Consumer. Where agreement is not possible, the matter is then to be referred to Arbitration.

DEFINITIONS
Arbitration is the settlement of a dispute by an impartial Arbitrator. Arbitration is a private dispute resolution procedure and is a legally binding means of resolving such matter. An Arbitration Agreement is an agreement to refer a dispute to arbitration, usually in the form of an Arbitration Clause as included in the standard booking conditions of the Organiser. A Submission to arbitration is called a Reference and the decision of an arbitrator is an Award.

APPOINTMENT OF AN ARBITRATOR
If there is a dispute which cannot be mutually agreed, either party may apply directly to the Institute at 8 Merrion Square, Dublin 2, for the form Request for Appointment of Arbitrator. This form sets out the information to be submitted: names and addresses of the parties concerned, copies of the booking form and conditions (including the arbitration clause), details of any legal or other people who are to represent the parties in the arbitration and an administration fee is payable, details of which are available from the institute. For claims involving personal injury, a separate form is required to be completed and a different fee applies, full details are available from the Institute. This form refers to the Institute's Arbitration Rules which will apply to the arbitration and which are briefly summarised as follows (copies of the Rules and the accompanying Guidance Notes on Arbitration are available from the Institute for a fee, details of which are available from the institute).

PROCEDURE
Once an Arbitrator has been appointed he is in complete charge of the reference, deciding the procedure as he considers best, and the Institute's Rules deliberately give him this flexibility.

QUESTIONNAIRE FORM
In this scheme, The Arbitrator will first send out a detailed from for completion by both parties. This will provide him with the details of the actual dispute so he can decide when and where to hold a hearing with both parties to present their cases.

HEARING
While an award may be made by an arbitrator based on the documentary evidence sent to him by the parties, it is open to both parties to present their case to him at an informal hearing.

AWARD
The Arbitrator's decision is made formally in his Award, which is sent to both parties. The Award is a final and binding resolution of the dispute.
