Please read them carefully as they set out your respective rights and obligations.

 

References to "you" and "your" in these Terms and Conditions mean all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date) or any of them. References to “Travel Arrangement(s)” in these Terms and Conditions are to the accommodation, transport, activities, excursions and other services we can arrange for you. References to “Supplier/Principal” means the third-party supplier of the Travel Arrangements including, but not limited to, accommodation providers, transfer providers, car hire companies and attraction providers.

a) has read these Terms and Conditions and has the authority to and does agree to be bound by them; 

b) consents to our use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is authorised on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose their personal details to us, including where applicable, special categories of data (such as information on health conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements and passport information) and that where necessary we may disclose such personal data to our suppliers;

Please Note: We act only as an agent in respect of all bookings we take and/or make on your behalf however, our obligations to you in relation to your booking depend on what you book with us. 

 

In order to maintain our customer services standards and to assist with the on-going training of our staff, we may record or monitor our telephone conversations or emails with you.

You can book accommodation with us as a single component booking. This will not be a package holiday and as such does not have any of the rights or protections afforded to package holidays under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. For single component bookings, we will always act as an agent on behalf of the Supplier/Principal of the accommodation. As a result of the above, our obligations to you may vary depending upon which Travel Arrangements you book with us and we have tried to set them out below as clearly as possible: 

 

(a) When making your booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable Supplier/Principal of the Travel Arrangements, as specified on your confirmation invoice. Your booking with us is subject to these Terms and Conditions and the specific terms and conditions of the relevant Supplier/Principal(s) you contract with and we advise you to read both carefully prior to booking. The Supplier/Principal’s terms and conditions may limit and/or exclude the Supplier/Principal's liability to you. Your supplier’s terms and conditions are available on request and you may be required to sign their contract separately. Your booking is confirmed and a contract between you and the Supplier/Principal will exist when we send you a Confirmation Invoice on their behalf.

 

(b) As an agent we accept no liability or responsibility for the acts or omissions of the Supplier/Principal or for the Travel Arrangements provided by the Supplier/Principal.

 

(c) If your booking is made through a travel agent, the Company will address all communications to that travel agent, who will act as agent for you in regard to all communications from us to you. All monies paid by you to a travel agent under or in contemplation of this contract will be held by the travel agent for the Company until such monies are forwarded to the Company. Any money paid to a travel agent in respect of a booking is held by that travel agent on behalf of and for the benefit of ABTA’s Scheme of Protection at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail financially. If we do fail financially, any money held at that time by the agent or subsequently accepted from you by the agent, is and continues to be held by that agent on behalf of the Company and for the benefit of the ABTA’s Scheme of Protection without any obligation to pay that money to the Company.

 

(a) When you make a booking, you will have the opportunity to review/confirm all the details of the booking before making payment. Once you have reviewed and confirmed these details and made payment, we will proceed to make the booking with the Supplier/Principal.

 

(b) Please check that all names, dates, accommodation details are correct on receipt of all documents and advise us of any errors immediately. Any changes to these details will incur the charges stated below. The booking information that you provide to us will be passed on only to the relevant Supplier/Principal of your Travel Arrangements or other persons necessary for the provision of your Travel Arrangements. The information may be provided to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. This applies to any special category (sensitive) information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary and religious requirements and passport details. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons. Certain information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies. If you are travelling to the United States, the US Customs and Border Protection will receive this information for the purposes of preventing and combating terrorism and other transnational serious crimes. If you travel outside the European Economic Area, controls on data protection may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant Supplier/Principals, whether in the EEA or not, we will be unable to provide your booking. Please click here for full details of our Privacy Policy. 

 

(a) In order to book your chosen Travel Arrangements, you must pay a deposit or full payment as required by the Supplier/Principal of the Travel Arrangements. You must also pay all applicable booking fees. Payment can be made by cheque or by most major credit cards in favour of Abercrombie & Kent Limited. (payment can be made in British Pounds, US Dollars or Euro’s. If for any reason we do not accept your booking, your deposit will be returned. Some suppliers and departures over peak seasons may require higher deposits at the time of booking. You will be notified of these requirements before you pay your deposit. If you are due a refund, the Company will return the amounts due to the same bank account or credit card that was used when the original payment was made and in the same currency that the Company originally received the funds.

 

(b) If you have paid a deposit, you must pay the full balance by the balance due date notified to you. If full payment is not received by the balance due date, we will inform the Supplier/Principal(s) who may cancel your booking and charge the applicable cancellation fees (as set out in the Supplier/Principal’s terms and conditions), and you will also be required to pay an administration charge to us of £50 per person.

 

(c) Except where otherwise advised or stated in the terms and conditions of the Supplier/Principal concerned, all monies you pay to us for Travel Arrangements will be held on behalf of the Supplier/Principal concerned.

 

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any information, photographs, or any other details about Travel Arrangements featured on the website, described over the telephone or featured in any of our marketing publications is accurate. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of all information and prices displayed on this site, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. In the event that an incorrect price has been entered in error, any booking made based on such incorrect price will not be valid. You will be advised of the mistake at the earliest opportunity and you will then have the option either to pay the correct price for the travel arrangements or to cancel and receive a full refund of any monies you may already have paid. We make no warranties or promises as to the availability or suitability of any Travel Arrangements advertised. We reserve the right to change or vary the price, accommodation, or any other arrangements featured on our website, discussed with you over the telephone or printed in any of our publications at any time without notice. You agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that all the details of your chosen accommodation are confirmed with us at the time of booking.

 

We reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time. We also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur. You must check the price of your chosen Travel Arrangements at the time of booking. 

We cannot emphasise enough the importance of purchasing comprehensive travel insurance prior to date of travel. This insurance should be commensurate to the value of your booking, and cover cancellation and curtailment, all medical expenses including evacuation/repatriation, personal baggage, personal liability, death and permanent disability, and travel document insurance. If you suffer from a disability or medical condition you should disclose this to insurers. For those who participate in sports and activities while on holiday that have been organised and arranged independently of us, it should be understood that participation is at the individual’s own risk and it is your responsibility to obtain the relevant insurance. Note that special insurance may be required if you intend to scuba dive or undertake any other dangerous or sports activities. Please keep your insurance details with you while on holiday. 

 

If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, neither the Supplier/Principal nor we will be liable to you for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.

Special Requests, such as diet, room location, twin or double-bedded room or a particular facility which are an important factor in the choice of holiday, should be indicated in writing at the time of booking. We will pass your request on to the hotel/villa/supplier but cannot guarantee that it will be accommodated. We will also pass on any dietary requests but we recommend that you check directly on arrival. The Company will try to arrange for Special Requests to be met, but cannot guarantee that they will be, nor will the Company be liable if any Special Request is not met. The provision of any Special Request does not constitute a term of your contract with us unless we have confirmed in writing that your requirement will be met.

Please note that when you book an excursion locally you contract with the local company providing that excursion and not us. We have no legal liability for anything that goes wrong on such an excursion and any claim which you might have arising out of the excursion will be against the relevant local company and subject to the local company's terms and conditions. We will, at our discretion offer advice, guidance and assistance if you or any member of your party suffer death, illness or injury arising out of an activity which does not form part of your holiday with us, or an excursion arranged locally. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. Our consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs, or benefits received and any relevant insurance policy to us. We limit the cost of our assistance to you or any member of your party to £5,000.

 

(a) If you or any member of your party suffer from a disability or other medical condition, please tell us before you book. The Company is happy to give you advice and to try to assist you in choosing a holiday that will meet your requirements. However, many of our accommodations can be in destinations which are off the beaten track and lack even the simplest facilities for disabled guests such as ramps for wheelchairs, lifts, and so on. Medical facilities may not be readily available. In order to assist you we must be provided prior to booking with full written details regarding your medical condition and any special requirements which result from this. An appropriate medical form will be sent to you for this purpose.

 

(b) You should consult your doctor for advice before you book and in good time before your departure. We cannot accept any liability if we are not told about any mobility/medical issues before travel. You must advise us of any changes to your level of mobility or medical condition which may affect your holiday between the point of booking and when you travel. Acting reasonably, if we are unable to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking and we are not able to properly accommodate the needs of the person(s) concerned, we reserve the right to cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges when we become aware of these details.

All cancellation requests must be in writing, by the person who made the initial payment. Cancellations are effective on the day they are received by the Company. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, the following cancellation charges will be payable, depending upon the number of days prior to departure the Company receives your notice of cancellation. 

 

There is no automatic statutory right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (Directive 2011/83/EU).

 

Requests for an amendment must be in writing and signed by the person who made the initial payment. Whilst we will try to assist, we cannot guarantee that the Supplier/Principal will meet such requests. Amendments and cancellations can only be accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Supplier/Principal of your Travel Arrangements. The Supplier/Principal may charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their terms and conditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the Travel Arrangements and will normally increase closer to the date of departure). If it is possible to make the amendment, it will be subject to an amendment charge of £50 per person, together with all communication charges or other expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the change. These charges will be payable whether or not the Company succeeds in confirming your requested amendment. We will notify you of the exact charges at the time of amendment or cancellation.

 

Please note that save for the transfer of a booking, it will not be possible to make changes within 28 days of your departure date. Your request may be treated as a cancellation and re-booking and the normal cancellation charges detailed in clause 10(e) below will apply dependent upon the conditions imposed by our suppliers. Where we are unable to assist you and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking, we will treat this as a cancellation by you and the cancellation charges detailed in clause 10(e) will be payable by you. 

 

Should you wish to amend the date of departure of your trip this will follow the rules outlined in part 10(e) above. The new departure date must be initiated within six months of the original date of departure. If travel commences after six months of the original holiday departure date this will be treated as a cancellation and re-booking and the normal cancellation charges detailed in clause 10(e) will apply. If the amended date of departure increases the price of your trip, this increase will be payable by you.    

 

 

We will deduct the cancellation charge(s) from any monies you have already paid to us. Amendment charges are not refundable in any circumstances.  

If you are forced to return home early, the Company cannot refund the cost of any travel arrangements you have not used. If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided, the Company will not offer you any refund for that part of your holiday not completed or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.

(a) Great care is taken to ensure that the description and prices given on our website are accurate at the time of publication. However, changes can occur, and the Company reserves the right to change any of the details in company literature, including prices, in which case the Company will advise you of any such change before accepting your booking. After a Confirmation Invoice has been issued, the Company makes every effort to operate all accommodation as advertised. We plan arrangements a long time in advance of your holiday using independent suppliers such as villa/chalet owners, hotels, local transport operators and guides, over whom we have no direct control. In very rare circumstances, the Company may have to modify a holiday before you depart. Most of these changes are minor. If we make a minor change to your holiday, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure but we will have no liability to you. Examples of “minor changes” include: change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard; and changes of tour carriers. 

 

(b) We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if the Supplier/Principal needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Travel Arrangements or to cancel them. We will also liaise between you and the Supplier/Principal in relation to any alternative travel arrangements offered by the Supplier/Principal, but we will have no further liability to you.

 

(c) We also deem certain Covid-19 related travel and destination requirements as minor changes in that we do not expect these changes to significantly affect the performance of the holiday or your overall holiday enjoyment. Such changes may include the requirement to wear face masks, make regular use of sanitising stations and maintain social distancing. Some changes may also affect the availability of certain services and facilities. We expect all guests to adhere to the local and national guidance that is in force at the destination and whilst travelling to and from the destination. Please see clause 17 for more information

 

(a) If you are unhappy with any aspect of the arrangements while you are on holiday, you must address your complaint immediately to the suppliers local representative (or, if none, to the Company by contacting the Duty Manager on +44 20 7998 4141) and to the management of the villa/hotel or other supplier whose services are involved. They will do their best to rectify the situation. It is unreasonable to take no action while on holiday, but then to write a letter of complaint upon return. If the problem cannot be resolved locally and you wish to complain, full details must be sent to the Company in writing to arrive ideally within 30 days of your return. We will do our best to investigate and reply to you within 28 days of receipt of your letter. Failure to take either of these steps will deny the Company the opportunity to resolve the problem immediately and/or investigate it properly. In consequence, this may affect your rights under this contract.

 

(b) In the rare event of a dispute which cannot be amicably settled, you may (if you wish) use ABTA’s approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme, available through abta.com which, though devised by arrangement with the Association of British Travel Agents, is administered quite independently by Hunt ADR. The scheme (details of which will be supplied on request) provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone, with restricted liability on holidaymakers in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person or £25,000 per party, neither does it apply to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury, illness, nervous shock, death, or their consequences. The scheme can, however, deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,500 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Application for arbitration under this scheme must be made within 18 months of the date of return from the holiday, otherwise it will only be available if we agree, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement from us. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation.

If, while you are on holiday, you find yourself in difficulty for any reason, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we will provide you with appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and assistance with distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements. Where you require assistance, which is not owing to any failure by us, our employees, or sub-contractors, we will not be liable for the costs of any alternative travel arrangements or other such assistance you require. Any supplier, airline or other transport supplier may however pay for or provide refreshments and/or appropriate accommodation and you should make a claim directly to them. Subject to the other terms of these Term and Conditions, we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur in the above circumstances, if you fail to obtain our prior authorisation before making your own alternative arrangements. Furthermore, we reserve the right to charge you a fee for our assistance in the event that the difficulty is caused intentionally by you or a member of your party, or otherwise through your or your party’s negligence.

(a) Your contract is with the Supplier/Principal and its terms and conditions apply. As agent, we accept no responsibility for the actual provision of the Travel Arrangements. 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 twice the cost of the commission we earn on your booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the booking is affected).

 

(b) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any personal injury or death unless you are able to provide that it was caused by our negligence or the negligence of our suppliers. 

 

(c) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense cost or other claim of any description if it results from:

a. the acts and/or omissions of the person affected; or 

b. the acts and/or omissions of a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable; or 

c. force majeure (See clause 16)

 

(d) We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money. The maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind. The maximum amount we will have to pay for any other claims which don’t involve injury, illness or death is up to three times the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you or your party has not received any benefit at all from your booking. 

 

(e) When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question.

 

(f) If we make any payment, the person(s) receiving it (and their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to us or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of any payment we make and any other assistance we may reasonably require.

 

(g) Please note, the Company does not accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum of any description which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you, if it relates to any business or if it is an indirect or consequential loss of any kind. 

 

(h) Please be aware that we accept no responsibility or liability for any destination that imposes access restrictions or otherwise hinders peaceful enjoyment of destination services and facilities based upon race, gender or sexual preference. We will provide general information in line with our obligations, however, you accept that it is your responsibility to thoroughly research your intended destination to ensure that it satisfactorily meets your holiday needs and requirements 

 

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Terms and Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by “Force Majeure”. For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, Force Majeure means any event beyond our or our supplier’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as pandemic, epidemic or the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or the departure destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination,  the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, labour strikes, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our or the supplier(s) concerned’ s control.

 

These Terms and Conditions and any matters arising from it are governed in all respects by the laws of England and Wales. We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter which arises between us out of or in connection with your contract or booking will be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales. You may, however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you live in those places and if you wish to do so.

 

All ratings are as provided by the relevant Supplier/Principal and may not be the official rating. These are intended to give a guide to the services and facilities you should expect from your accommodation. Standards and ratings may vary between countries, as well as between suppliers. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any ratings given.

 

All descriptions and content on our website or otherwise issued by us is done so on behalf of the Supplier/Principal in question are intended to present a general idea of the services provided by the Supplier/Principal. Not all details of the relevant services can be included on our website. All services shown are subject to availability. If you require any further details, in respect of any Travel Arrangements or any other services please contact us.

(a) Make yourself travel aware. Before making a booking, please consult the travel advice produced by the government of your home jurisdiction, the government who issued the passport and/or visa you intend to travel under, and the government of your destination.

 

Also ensure you make yourself familiar with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advice on staying safe and healthy on your trip\: www.gov.uk/travelaware. Advice can change, so always check regularly for the latest updates.

 

(b) If the Foreign Office advises that people should not visit a particular country, we will act on this advice. 

 

(c) In the event of active government advice and warnings against travel to a specific destination or location(s) of a trip, should the traveller still choose to travel, notwithstanding such travel advisory or warning, the traveller assumes all risks of loss, personal injury, death, or property damage from any event that may arise out of or associated with the travel advice or warnings given. 

Most people go on holiday for rest and relaxation, so if in our reasonable opinion or that of any hotel manager, tour leader, or other person in authority, your behaviour is causing danger or damage to property, or persistently affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve the right to terminate your holiday immediately. In the event of such termination our liability to you and/or your party will cease and you and/or your party will be required to leave your accommodation or other arrangements immediately. We will have no further obligations to you and/or your party. No refunds for lost accommodation or any other arrangements will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of termination. You and/or your party may also be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by your actions and we will hold you and each member of your party jointly and individually liable for any damage or losses caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or losses must be paid directly to the hotel manager or other supplier prior to departure. If you fail to make payment, you will be responsible for meeting any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us as a result of your actions together with all costs we incur in pursuing any claim against you. The Company cannot be held responsible for the actions or behaviour of other guests or individuals who have no connection with your booking arrangements or with the Company.

(a) It is important that you check the details on your Confirmation Invoice when you receive it. In the event of any discrepancy, you should contact the Company or your travel agent.

 

(b) If you lose any personal items while on holiday, please obtain a written report from the police, to help with any insurance claim upon your return.

 

(c) You are responsible for the costs of any damage to the accommodation and/or any extra charges incurred with our suppliers during your holiday. Should you fail to make such payment at the time the charges and/or costs are incurred, you will be liable to reimburse us for these and you authorise the Company to automatically debit your credit card to the value instructed by the supplier for any such costs and/or charges.

There are no transfers included in your holiday cost unless otherwise stated. If you have not booked a transfer, on arrival at your destination you will normally find taxis just outside the terminal building. To avoid getting overcharged, it is advisable to agree a cost before you take the journey. If you would like to add transfers to your holiday, please contact your travel consultant.

 

Please note that if you are hiring a car then you will need to supply a credit card as security when you collect the car. No money will be taken from the card without your consent (all details will be covered when you sign your agreements before taking the car). In most destinations, you need to be over 21 to hire/drive a car. It is always best to double check the age limit before booking. 

 

(a) As between you and the suppliers of the transport, accommodation, and other components making up your holiday, the conditions of the supplier will apply. These conditions may be subject to international Conventions which limit and/or restrict the supplier’s liability. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from us or the supplier concerned.

 

(b) Some activities carry inherent risks and if you are participating in such activities you may be asked to sign an additional form by the local supplier. In rare cases beginners may have to take lessons at a charge before being permitted to use hotel equipment otherwise offered for free.

(a) Guests must sign an acknowledgement attesting to their fitness to travel and agreeing to comply with all health protocols as directed by the Company’s staff during their journey. 

(b) The Company will have no liability for any refunds, compensation, costs, expenses or other losses of any kind incurred by you (including, where applicable, the cost of medical treatment, curtailment of your holiday, missed transport arrangement and additional accommodation required), in the following circumstances:

a. Prior to departure, you have been diagnosed or have otherwise been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are no longer able to travel and/or required to self-isolate;

b. After your departure and during your holiday, you have been diagnosed or have otherwise been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are required to self-isolate.

c. You fail any tests, checks or other measures imposed by a supplier, airline, port or airport, border control authority or any other government body or local authority or fail to submit for testing or assessment when requested to do so and as a consequence you are denied boarding, denied entry to the destination or otherwise denied access to any of your travel arrangements. This includes any requirement to be fully vaccinated (including any and all necessary boosters) and for that vaccination to be valid, in-date and accepted by the country(ies) which you are travelling to.

(c) In response to the Covid-19 global crisis, each destination has implemented their own health and safety measures and precautions in an attempt to combat the spread of the disease. Specific regions, resorts, event organisers and suppliers have also introduced their own health and safety measures in line with government advice (local or national), depending on their capacity and ability to take certain precautions. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of and comply with the measures that are in place at the travel destination, resort or other accommodation you have booked, Health and safety measures and requirements may also vary for each activity, tour and other excursions and travel arrangements you have booked. 

These measures may be mandatory and it is essential that you and any members of your party comply with and respect any local and national health and safety measures throughout the duration of your holiday as you could face penalties for failing to do so. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, social distancing, the use of facemasks both indoors and outdoors, a maximum number of households or people in the accommodation or other facilities and restrictions on the use of certain facilities. They may also include a requirement for you to take a specific Covid-19 test and show a negative result or proof of recent recovery of Covid-19 or show proof of being fully vaccinated (including any and all necessary boosters) and for that vaccination to be valid, in-date and accepted by that specific supplier, destination, resort etc. We will not be liable for any costs, fees, charges or penalties you incur from your failure to comply with any mandatory requirements or measures. 

Where possible, we will make you aware in advance of any mandatory measures that are in place at your travel destination and/or in place at any of the travel arrangements that you have booked. However, it is your responsibility to check the measures and requirements that are in place at your travel destination and ensure you are checking these regularly before your departure date. For further information we suggest you visit https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice and search for the country(ies) you are planning to travel to, as well as the website and/or terms and conditions of your specific travel arrangements. 

(d) It is your responsibility to check the entry requirement for the destination(s) you are travelling to as many countries have introduced additional entry requirements. Entry requirements may include, but are not limited to, proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken at a certain point prior to your departure date, additional Covid-19 test(s) taken at certain points during your holiday or proof of a Covid-19 vaccination (including any and all necessary boosters) and for that vaccination to be valid, in-date and accepted by the country(s) which you are travelling to. In addition to these requirements, you may be required to complete and present additional travel documentation beforehand detailing any destination you have travelled through/visited recently and whether you have been diagnosed or been in contact with anyone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 recently.
