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 behavior 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, the Organiser, or that of the Organiser’s representatives, contractors, agents or employees and the cancellation charges as provided for in Clause 10 of this Booking Form are payable by the Consumer. Further, where, as a result of the Consumer’s actions or the actions of any other person who is listed on this Booking Form either or both of the following incidents occurs:
(i)
There is a delay or diversion to the means of transportation the subject of this contract;
(ii)
The accommodation in which the Consumer is staying is damaged; the Consumer, hereby agrees to indemnify the Organiser against any claim (including legal costs) made against the Organiser in relation to the occurrence of such incidents.
2. PERSONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
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 and no liability shall attach to the Organiser for the provision of an unsuitable holiday for a person with disabilities where disclosure of the special need has not been made to the Retailer or to the Organiser where the booking has been made directly with the Organiser. The Organiser reserves the right to decline to provide a holiday for a person with special needs where in the Organiser’s opinion that holiday would be inconsistent with the special needs of a person with disabilities.
3. PAYMENT
The holiday must be paid for in full at least 10 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 cancellation charges detailed below are payable by the Consumer.
Cancellation for Non-Payment. If the holiday is not paid for by the due date, the Organiser shall have the right to cancel the holiday. If the Organiser, at the request of the Consumer or Retailer, agrees to delay cancellation of the holiday, then if the Organiser subsequently cancels for non-payment, the cancellation charges set out in this Clause 10 shall apply and be payable by the Consumer.
Because of the ever changing nature of airfare structures and the increasing availability of instant purchase air fares most of the flights which we sell must be paid for in full at the time of booking together with our normal deposit. Such airfares are non refundable and accordingly cancellation of holidays involving instant purchase/ticketed flights will incur loss of airfare together with our standard cancellation charges as detailed in this Clause 10.

(ii) such failures are attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of these services contracted for, and are unforeseeable or unavoidable; or
(iii) such failures are due to:
