important holiday information ► booking conditions 145The following terms and conditions (‘booking conditions’) form the basis ofyour contract with Kuoni Travel Limited. Please read them carefully as theyset out our respective rights and obligations. By asking us to confirm yourbooking, we are entitled to assume that you have had the opportunity toread and have read these terms and conditions and agree to them.Except where otherwise stated, these booking conditions only apply toholiday arrangements which you book with us in the UK and which we agreeto make, provide or perform (as applicable) as part of our contract with you.All references in these booking conditions to ‘holiday’, ‘booking’, ‘contract’,‘package’, ‘tour’ or ‘arrangements’ mean such holiday arrangements unlessotherwise stated.In these booking conditions, ‘you’ and ‘your’ means all persons named onthe booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date)or any of them, as the context requires and ‘lead name’ means the personwho makes the booking. ‘We’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ means Kuoni Travel Limited.before you book1.1 choosing your holidayThe holidays contained within this brochure are for departures between01 September and 31 December 2013. We hope that your Kuoni holidaywill live up to your expectations so it is very important that you choose theright holiday for you. Space in our brochures to give detailed informationis limited but there is more information online at www.kuoni.co.uk and ourstaff are always happy to advise and give you their professional opinion.1.2 confirming your holidayWhen you decide to confirm your holiday with us, please ensure that youcancel any other flights which may have been held for the same dates/airlines, by other Tour Operators/Travel Agents. Failure to do so, may resultin the airline subsequently cancelling the flights we have booked, andadditional costs being incurred to re-book.1.3 hotel gradingsChoosing the right hotel can be a dilemma, especially when travelling to longhaul destinations and whilst most hotels have official star ratings locally, insome cases official ratings cannot always be relied on. Subsequently we havecategorised all hotels throughout the brochure as three, four or five star togive a general guide. However, standards can vary between hotels of thesame class in different countries, and even in the same country. For examplecity hotels which often cater for business as well as leisure travellers may wellhave generally higher standards than a beach resort hotel where the wholeatmosphere will tend to be more relaxed. It is important to read carefully theindividual hotel descriptions. A comparison of the extra night cost shown inthe price box against each hotel will also give some idea of how hotels in thesame resort/country are likely to compare in terms of general standards.1.4 single roomsIt is an unfair fact of life that single travellers often have to pay over theodds for a room, often up to twice the price each person in a twin roommight have to pay. So we have negotiated some super deals and aredelighted to offer you the widest choice of single saver offers availableon the UK longhaul market today. Please check in the Kuoni Plus box oneach page for these very special offers. However note that the standardand location of single rooms is not always as good as that of twin/doublerooms even when you pay the single supplement.On safari, excursions and touring holidays single rooms cannot always beguaranteed. Supplements paid will be refunded if a single room previouslyconfirmed is not available.i) Why are single travellers asked to pay more for their room?If a single person occupies a double room they will usually be asked to payextra (a single supplement). Hotels price their rooms, as doubles or familyrooms and they do not reduce the rates if it is occupied by a single person.The costs to the hotel of providing the room – heating, lighting, cleaningetc are the same regardless of how many people occupy that room. Thisalso applies to self-catering units where, for example, three people maychoose to occupy accommodation priced for four.ii) Why are single rooms sometimes smaller than doubles or family rooms?Hotel design may mean that single rooms are smaller and sometimes lesswell appointed. While there is normally a supplement for these rooms,the overall cost will usually be less than when a single person occupies adouble room. We do not make additional or excessive profits from thesesupplements. The prices we charge reflect the costs of under occupancy ofthe rooms contracted to us by the hotel.1.5 twin or double roomsAccommodation in all hotels, regardless of the rating, is in standard rooms(sometimes named superior/deluxe) based on twins or doubles unlessotherwise stated.1.6 triple/quad roomsA third or fourth person sharing a room either shares existing beds or hasan extra bed (which may be of camp-bed style) placed in a double/twinroom. As conditions may be cramped you may wish to consider bookingtwo rooms.1.7 travelling with childrenIf you are travelling with young children, it is important to note that childseats are not provided for transfers and the legislation varies from countryto country. If you specifically require a car seat, we advise you to either takeyour own with you, or call our Sales team, and we will do our utmost to tryand arrange this for you - there may well be an additional charge for this.1.8 free child accommodation staysWhere we offer ‘free child accommodation stays’ at many of our hotels,these are generally based on sharing existing beds in the room. If yourequire a separate bed, you must advise us at the time of booking, as theremay well be a charge added to your booking, or this charge may be payablelocally. Any meal plan charges will still apply.1.9 minimum staysMinimum stays are required at certain hotels for certain periods. Whereapplicable these will be advised at time of booking.1.10 booking a room for early arrivalor late departureGenerally hotel rooms will be available between approximately noon and3pm, and are to be vacated between 10am and noon, irrespective ofyour arrival or departure times, unless we have stated otherwise. Shouldyou wish your room to be ready prior to noon on your day of arrival oravailable after 10am for an afternoon or evening departure, it is possibleto reserve the room at the time of booking at a cost no greater than theextra night price quoted on the brochure page.1.11 kuoni plus/room upgrade/honeymoon/anniversary offersWhen the offer of a room upgrade is mentioned in Kuoni Plus, it is notnecessarily an upgrade to the next category featured in our brochure, butusually an upgrade to the next category of room (not suite) available withinthe hotel. We will of course do everything possible to arrange the provisionof a double bed for honeymoon couples but it is not always possible toguarantee this and the provision of a double bed does not constitute a termof your contract with us. Anniversary offers only apply if you’re celebratingyour Silver (25th) or Golden (50th) wedding anniversary while on holiday.Remember to advise us if it your honeymoon or Silver/Golden anniversaryand to take a copy of your marriage certificate with you on holiday. Inorder to qualify for a Kuoni Plus offer, your stay and/or holiday must bestarted and completed within the date band specified, under the individualoffers as stated. For hotel sale discounts and free night offers, where thereis a minimum stay requirement, the nights spent at the hotel must beconsecutive. The Kuoni Plus offers shown are correct at the time of printingthis brochure, but they may change at short notice, and not all offers can becombined. These offers are frequently updated so for the most up to dateand available offers, please contact your travel agent and/or our sales team,or check on-line to check which offers apply to your holiday.1.12 tours - general health requirementsMost of our tours are not suitable if you have any disability or have reducedmobility (including being confined to a wheelchair). Therefore, in theinterest of safety and comfort for all groups as a whole, you must be fitenough to participate or alternatively you must have an able bodied carer toassist you on the tour’.1.13 free extrasAt certain hotels we offer a free lunch, dinner, or hotel bar credit and atother hotels we may offer up to a 20% discount on food and/or beverageextras usually payable at the end of your stay. This offer is not available ifyou pay by credit card, nor is a cash alternative available.1.14 free night offersWhere we specify free night offers this will not necessarily mean free nightsare multiplied if you book a longer duration, therefore, please ensure you askat the time of booking to clarify the number of free nights you will receive.1.15 all inclusive and hotels for couplesSome hotels specified ‘for couples’ cater for mixed sex couples only and insome countries, such as Sri Lanka and Dubai same sex couples are illegal.We recommend that if you are a ‘same sex’ couple, you thoroughly researchyour chosen hotel/destination before you book, to ensure it is suitable. Hotelsoften place restrictions on restaurants and meal arrangements. All Inclusivedoes not necessarily mean that unlimited food and beverages are available24-hours a day. Individual hotels operate different policies and full details willbe provided locally.1.16 passports/visas/healthYou will need a full 10 year passport to travel to the destinations we featurein this brochure. Some destinations also require visas. You should contactyour GP or a specialist vaccination centre for details of the measures youwill need to take prior to departure. Please read page 149 for more detailsprior to booking your holiday. Many countries including USA now requirechildren to hold their own passports and additional countries are adoptingthis policy on an ongoing basis. We therefore recommend that all childrentravel on full passports.1.17 experiencesExperiences which form part of your package: We are pleased to be able tooffer various ‘experiences’ and activities, such as diving, which you can prebookin the UK and pay us as part of your holiday arrangements. Some ofthese experiences and activities may require you to be in good physical andmental health and, by booking with us, you confirm that you and your partyare in good health with no medical history that would make it dangerous foryou to participate. You must observe safety instructions at all times. We willonly accept responsibility for these experiences and activities in accordancewith these booking conditions. The experiences and activities are subjectto minimum numbers, and may be cancelled at short notice. In suchcircumstance, you will receive a full refund of monies paid for the excursionor activity in question.Experiences which do not form part of your package: We are also able tooffer assistance and reserve certain experiences and activities for you, forwhich you pay locally. In these circumstances, we only act as a bookingagent for the operator or the excursion or activity concerned. Your contractwill therefore be with the local operator which provides it and it does notfrom part of your contracted holiday arrangements with us. The contractwill be subject to the local operator’s terms and conditions, some of whichmay exclude or limit its liability to you, and will be governed by local lawand jurisdiction. Kuoni accepts no liability for any breach of contract ornegligent act or omission of any excursion/activity provider.1.18 children on holidayOffers are subject to availability of triple or quad rooms. Infants underthe age of 2 years on the date of return flight pay from £45 for Europeanflights, £199 for longhaul flights and £249 for Australia/New Zealand flightswhen travelling in economy. Please note meals are not provided for infants.Infant charges are based on an infant sitting on an adults lap and additionalcharges will apply for infants requiring their own seat. Any charge for ababy cot in the room and food are paid by the guest direct to the hotel andthere is no entitlement to a separate seat on the aircraft if the flight is full.International airline regulations allow only one infant per adult. We do notallow holidays for children under 10 on escorted tours, coach tours or onsafari (unless in private minibus). Some destinations, owing to their lackof special child or medical facilities are also not suitable for very youngchildren but we would be happy to advise which hotels or resorts we thinksuit your requirements best. See the relevant price box where any specificminimum age restrictions are given.1.19 public holidaysVirtually all countries have public holidays, religious or otherwise. Thefestivities may temporarily disrupt your holiday and some religious holidayssuch as Ramadan, which affects many Muslim countries may result in areduction of facilities and entertainment. Others are somewhat chaotic butgreat fun to be a part of. We suggest that you take this into considerationwhen selecting your departure date. The dates known to us at the time ofgoing to press, are:Ramadan: 09 July 2013 (approx. for one month)Chinese New Year: 10 February 2013Hindu Holi Dye throwing feast (India & Nepal): 27 March 2013Sinhala & Tamil New Year (Sri Lanka): 13 April 2013Diwali (India): 03 November 2013King’s birthday (Thailand): 05 DecemberThe appropriate Tourist Offices are happy to supply more detailedinformation or you may wish to refer to the internet.1.20 local festivalsVarious events are organised in most towns throughout the season, and wetherefore suggest that you thoroughly research your chosen area beforebooking.1.21 other hotel guestsMany hotels, especially in cities and major resorts, accommodateconventions and conferences. Also, at certain times of the year, somedestinations have an influx of groups such as students, associations or clubs.The hotels we feature are shared with guests from many countries withdifferent cultures and customs. We have no control over the acceptanceof bookings at the hotels we feature other than our own. We are thereforeunable to accept any responsibility for any inconvenience caused by suchgroups or their activities.1.22 holiday seasonsMost of the destinations we feature in this brochure are available all yearround. Some do have quieter ‘off peak’ periods when you can take advantageof uncrowded beaches and more personal attention from hotel staff atexcellent prices. At this time it may be necessary for hotels to scale downthe size of some of their facilities, such as restaurants, to match demand.Similarly, during peak periods hotels experience full occupancy which mayresult in a livelier atmosphere and slower service in busier facilities.1.23 mealsMeals if included are based on table d’hôte menus, or a meal vouchersystem unless specified otherwise in the text. Holidays which include mainmeals generally commence with dinner on the day of arrival at your hoteland terminate with breakfast (on half board) or lunch (on full board) onthe day of departure. All Inclusive packages generally finish at check-outtime on your day of departure between 10am and noon. After this time,payment for any additional meals must be made direct to the hotel. Norefunds on meals not taken can be given. Special diets of any kind (includingvegetarian) can seldom be catered for adequately within the constraints of atable d’hôte menu and cannot be guaranteed.We would therefore strongly recommend that anyone with specialrequirements takes a holiday where no meals (or only breakfast) areincluded and simply buys the most acceptable dishes from the à la cartemenu available locally.Where breakfast is included this will more commonly be continentalbreakfast, although full breakfasts are provided at certain hotels. Please askat the time of booking if this is important to you.Supplements shown in our brochures for optional meal plans offer you theopportunity of being able to budget for extra costs before you go. In somecases you may find the cost of the meal cheaper locally, however we regretthat it will not be possible to refund the difference either during or after yourholiday. Pre booked meals may be subject to dining in the main restaurantonly and on occasion it may be necessary to be seated with other hotel guests.If you have paid a half board supplement it may be possible in some hotelsto ask for a credit from the table d’hôte dinner to be used against a mealin an à la carte restaurant. However the value of the voucher will generallybe considerably less than the half board supplement included in yourholiday price.1.24 upgrading your flightA longhaul flight is generally not a joyride when flying in economy classon scheduled or charter flights. Flights are often full, your choice of seatsmay not be available, and it may not be possible to obtain seats together.In many cases a choice of upgrade options may be available, to give you amore comfortable journey at a reasonable supplement.

146 important holiday information booking conditions► www.kuoni.co.uk1.25 flight seat requests, airlines and aircraftWe strongly recommend (particularly if you are flying economy class), thatyou check in early if you have particular seat requests.Kuoni has no control over the allocation of seats by the airline and even ifa request has been made with the airline to prebook seats, no guaranteecan be made that they will still be available on departure. The provision ofparticular seats does not constitute a term of your contract with us. Pleasenote airlines operate both older and more modern aircraft within their fleet.We regret we cannot guarantee the type of aircraft you will travel on as thismay be subject to change and general availability. Although some airlinesoffer the facility to book seats online, this is not always possible whenbooking a holiday through us, as the holidays we offer are based on specialTour Operator fares.In accordance with EU directive (EC) no. 2111/2005, we are required tobring to your attention the existence of a ‘Community List’ which containsdetails of air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the EUCommunity. The Community list is available for inspection at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/list_en.htmWe are required to advise you of the actual carrier(s) (or, if the actualcarrier(s) is not known, the likely carrier(s)) that will operate your flight(s)at the time of booking. We do this by listing carriers to be used or likely tobe used on the relevant brochure pages and/or your holiday confirmationinvoice. Any changes to the actual airline after you have received yourtickets will be notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-inor at the boarding gate. Where we are only able to inform you of the likelycarrier(s) at the time of booking, we shall inform you of the identity of theactual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of this. Any change to theoperating carrier(s) after your booking has been confirmed will be notifiedto you as soon as possible. If the carrier with whom you have a confirmedreservation becomes subject to an operating ban as above as a result ofwhich we/ the carrier are unable to offer you a suitable alternative theprovisions of ‘If we change or cancel your holiday’ will apply.1.26 direct flightsThe flight routings used in connection with our holidays may be used onspecial fares which do not necessarily take the most direct route. Someitineraries require a change of aircraft en route.

Any request for changes must be made in writing bythe person who made the original booking, or his or her travel agent. If it ispossible to make the change, it will be subject to an administration chargeof £50 per booking, and payment of any further costs incurred as a resultof the change. If we agree that you may change your booking to a holidayof lower value, and then you cancel that holiday, we reserve the right tolevy cancellation charges on the value of the original booking. Scheduledairlines normally regard name changes as a cancellation and rebooking,and any alteration may incur a 100% cancellation charge in respect of theair fare. Please note that save for the transfer of a booking (see below), orthe addition of any offers made by Kuoni in the brochure which were notrequested at the time of booking, it will not be possible to make changeswithin 28 days of your scheduled departure date.3.2 transferring bookingsIf any person named on a booking is prevented from travelling as a resultof illness, the death of a close relative, jury service or other significantreason, we will agree to that person’s booking being transferred to anotherperson (introduced by you) who satisfies all the conditions applicable tothe package, subject to both persons accepting liability for full payment ofthe holiday cost and all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurredor imposed by any of our suppliers in order to make the transfer.

An administrationcharge will be made of £50 per person for requests made more than61 days before departure, and £100 per person within 61 days beforedeparture. For flight inclusive bookings, you must pay the charges levied bythe airline concerned. As most airlines do not permit name changes aftertickets have been issued for any reason, these charges are likely to be thefull cost of the flight. If you request to change all names on a booking, thiswill be considered as a cancellation and new booking and full cancellationcharges will apply’.3.3 cancelling your holidayIf you or anyone on your holiday booking decides to cancel the holiday,the lead name must notify us of the decision as soon as possible. Anynotification by telephone must also be confirmed in writing or by e-mailwithin 24-hours by the lead name.

You may also check your booking has been cancelledon our web-site, www.kuoni.co.uk.

The following scale of charges will be payable depending on when thenotification of cancellation is received. Insurance premiums and amendmentcharges are are not refundable in the event of cancellation. References to thedeposit include all sums paid or payable at the time of booking.Period prior to departure noticeCancellation charge perof cancellation is received byperson cancellingus or your travel agentPrior to 61 days:loss of deposit60 – 42 days: 50% of total holiday cost41 – 33 days: 60% of total holiday cost32 – 15 days: 90% of total holiday cost14 days or less: 100% of total holiday costNB In certain cases the airline may have applied certain ticketing deadlinesto your booking and this may result in higher cancellation charges. This alsoapplies to certain hotels, who may often charge a higher cancellation feeregardless of the above-mentioned timeframes, and you may therefore becharged a higher amount than detailed above. It is therefore important toenquire for details at the time of booking and cancellation.We would strongly recommend that you take out appropriate travelinsurance which provides cover against loss of deposit or cancellation fees. Ifyou have taken advantage of an airline offer as detailed on the relevant pageand paid a higher deposit, the cancellation charge payable by you will be thehigher of this deposit or the appropriate cancellation charge detailed above.if we want to change or cancelyour holiday4.1 brochure accuracyWe rigorously check the information given in our brochure aboutaccommodation, resorts, itineraries etc., to ensure it is correct to the bestof our knowledge at the time of going to press (May 2012). However,as brochures are prepared well in advance, advertised descriptions andfacilities may change before and after you book. Please check the up todate position at the time of booking. Please bear in mind that hoteliers,restaurateurs, night club owners etc., may wish to maintain or improvetheir facilities, or even take a break themselves. Flight times, carriers androutes in the brochure are given for guidance only as there may be changes.Final details will be shown on your tickets. Tour, excursion, cruise or safariitineraries may change as a result of local conditions.

When weare told of any significant or long term changes we will always endeavour toadvise you prior to your departure.4.2 building and development workMany hotels and resorts are continuing to develop, sometimes rapidly andintensively and often with little or no advance warning. Whilst we haveno control over such work, as a responsible tour operator, it is importantto us that you are aware of any significant building/refurbishment workthat may be going on during your stay. General refurbishment at hotels isnecessary to maintain standards but if we are informed of such work wewill endeavour to notify you of as soon as possible, however near to yourdeparture this may be.4.3 flight changesThe flight timings shown in our brochure, on our website and/or detailedon your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are subject toalteration and confirmation.

Should the changes involve a reduction in the duration ofyour holiday, we will offer you a refund of any applicable costs. Any changein the identity of the airline, flight timings and/or aircraft type (if advised) willnot entitle you to cancel or change to other arrangements without paying ournormal charges except where specified in these conditions.4.4 if we change or cancel your holiday beforeyour departureWe hope and expect to be able to provide you with all the services we haveconfirmed to you at the time of booking.We plan arrangements a long time in advance of your holiday usingindependent suppliers such as airlines, hotels etc., over whom we have nodirect control. On occasions changes do have to be made, and we reservethe right to make these. Most of these changes are minor. However,occasionally, changes are significant.A significant change includes a change of accommodation to that of a lowercategory and/or price for the whole or a major part of your time away, achange of flight time of more than 12 hours, a change of UK departureairport (except between London airports), or a significant change of resortarea. Similarly, we do our best to avoid cancelling holidays but we mustreserve the right to do so. However, we promise we will only cancel yourconfirmed booking after you have made full payment where we are forcedto do so as a result of ‘force majeure’ as defined below or lack of minimumnumbers. Please note, some of our holidays require a minimum numberof participants to enable us to operate them. If the minimum number ofbookings required for a particular holiday has not been received, we areentitled to cancel it. We will notify you or your travel agent of cancellationfor this reason no later than 61 days prior to departure.If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soonas possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you thechoice of the following options:-(a) (for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements; or(b) purchasing an alternative holiday from us, of a similar standard tothat originally booked if available. We will offer you at least one alternativeholiday of equivalent or higher standard for which you will not be asked topay any more than the price of the original holiday. If this holiday is in factcheaper than the original one, we will refund the price difference. If you donot wish to accept the holiday we specifically offer you, you may choose anyof our other then available holidays. You must pay the applicable price ofany such holiday. This will mean your paying more if it is more expensive orreceiving a refund if it is cheaper; or(c) cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive afull and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us.If we have to make a significant change or cancel we will, wherecompensation is appropriate, pay you the compensation payments set outin the table below depending on the circumstances and when the significantchange or cancellation is notified to you subject to the following exceptions.Compensation will not be payable and no liability beyond offering the abovementioned choices can be accepted where (1) we are forced to make achange or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstancesbeyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoidedeven with all due care or (2) we have to cancel because the minimumnumber of bookings necessary for us to operate your holiday has not beenreached (see above). No compensation will be payable and the above optionswill not be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply withany requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such aspaying on time) or where a change is a minor one. A change of flight time ofless than 12 hours, airline (except where otherwise stated), type of aircraft (ifadvised) or destination airport will all be treated as minor changes.Period before departure within which aCompensationsignificant compensation change or cancellation Per Personis notified to you or your travel agentMore than 60 days:NIL60 – 42 days: £2041 – 28 days: £3027 – 15 days: £4014 – 0 days: £504.5 changes due to circumstances beyondour controlExcept where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions,we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where theperformance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contractwith you is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage,loss or expense of any nature as a result of ‘force majeure’. In these bookingconditions, ‘force majeure’ means any event or circumstances which we orthe supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care,foresee or avoid. Such events may include, whether actual or threatened,war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nucleardisaster, adverse weather conditions, epidemics, fire and other situationswhich are outside our control.4.6 if we change your holiday accommodationWe do not control the day to day management of your accommodation,and in exceptional cases it is possible that we may be advised that thereserved accommodation has been overbooked or your accommodationmay have to be changed for other reasons. If this happens beforeyour departure or on arrival in resort we will endeavour to provideaccommodation of at least the same standard in the same resort area. Ifonly accommodation of a lower standard is available we will refund thedifference of the brochure price between the accommodation booked andthat available, and will pay up to £50 per person for any inconvenience.4.7 if we curtail your holiday after departureVery rarely, we may be forced by ‘force majeure’ (see 4.6) to change orterminate your holiday after departure but before the scheduled end ofyour time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur,we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain anyrefunds from our suppliers), pay you any compensation or meet any costs orexpenses you incur as a result.

148 important holiday information booking conditions► www.kuoni.co.uk4.8 minimum numbersPrice boxes on relevant pages will indicate whether a particular holidayis subject to a minimum number of participants for its operation. Pleasecontact us at the time of booking should you require details regarding thenumber of people on your tour. We will advise you at least 61 days beforedeparture if minimum numbers have not been reached.You will then have the choice of booking an alternative holiday with us,changing your departure date at the appropriate additional cost, or having arefund of monies paid. No compensation will be payable and we are unableto offer refunds of any associated costs ie visas etc.4.9 toursWhilst every effort is made to operate a tour as advertised, on occasionit may be necessary to make changes to the accommodation, the routingor order of an itinerary. Unless the change significantly alters the holiday,compensation will not be payable for minor alterations to the itinerary ornightly accommodation.on holiday5.1 flight delaysIn the event of a flight being delayed, we will arrange for the following to beprovided, whenever practical, and subject to the airport being able to caterfor this:- over 4 hours, an appropriate meal, and for delays of at least 8 hoursextending beyond midnight, overnight accommodation will be providedwherever possible. However, this will depend on such factors as the expectedlength of delay, local availability of accommodation, immigration rulings etc.Where long flight delays result in lost holiday time, no refunds are given byhotels for unused accommodation, as rooms are held for delayed arrivals,not re-let.5.2 water/electricity suppliesIn many of the less sophisticated destinations we feature, the water andelectricity services struggle to keep up with the increased demands fromtourism. Limited rainfall can put further pressure on their provision. Hotelsdo everything possible to maintain full services. However, occasional powercuts and/or water restrictions may be experienced.5.3 accommodation in the tropicsIn many hotels, especially beach resorts ‘insects’ in the rooms (eg.cockroaches etc) are almost inevitable. It should by no means be taken as asign of dirtiness, simply a fact of life in these destinations. Views from somehotel rooms may be partly obscured by palm trees and other vegetation thatcan grow very quickly in tropical climates.5.4 watersports and other activitiesMany hotels offer watersports and other sporting activities, in some casesthese may be free of charge. Please note that in the interest of your personalsafety, the operators of these activities may require that you demonstrateyour competence (for example a swimming test) prior to commencementand reserve the right to refuse participation for any reason if they feel thismay compromise your or another guest’s safety. Please note there may becertain age restrictions for children/adults to do certain activities so pleaseensure you enquire locally.5.5 behaviourMost people go on holiday for rest and relaxation, so if in our reasonableopinion or in the opinion of any airline pilot, hotel manager, tour leaderor other person in authority, your behaviour is causing or is likely tocause danger, upset or damage to property or is persistently affecting theenjoyment of others, we reserve the right to terminate your holiday. Shouldthis happen no refund or compensation would be paid and we will have nofurther responsibility for your holiday arrangements including return travel.5.6 personal belongings and lost itemsFor security reasons valuables should be kept to a minimum and packedin your hand luggage along with your medicines, camera, film, electricalor battery-operated appliances, as well as basic essentials such as achange of clothing and toiletries. It can be easy to lose items but it is yourresponsibility to look after your property at all times and you must ensureyou are adequately covered by comprehensive insurance. If you lose anypersonal items whilst on holiday, please obtain a written report from a localrepresentative, or police, to help with any insurance claim upon your return.5.7 if you have a complaint while you are onholidayIf you have cause for complaint whilst on holiday, you must bring it to theattention of our local representative or agent and the hotel immediately. Theywill do their best to rectify the situation. It is unreasonable to take no actionwhilst on holiday, but then to write a letter of complaint upon return. If you donot raise concerns immediately, this may affect our ability to investigate andtake remedial action and it may impact on the way your complaint is dealt with.5.8 kuoni duty officerKuoni operates a 24-hour emergency duty officer system, and the contactnumber for this will be provided with your itinerary.5.9 conservationIt is becoming ever more important to conserve the world’s natural resources,its landscapes, flora and fauna. Someone coined the phrase ‘Take onlyphotographs; leave only footprints’ and a number of countries now use thisto promote conservation. It would be hard to improve on this statement.5.10 our commitment to you for your holidayarrangements(a) We promise to make sure that the holiday arrangements we have agreedto make, perform or provide as applicable as part of our contract with youare made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care.

Please note, it is your responsibilityto show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to makea claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what ouremployees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the timeacting within the course of their employment (for employees) or carrying outwork we had asked them to do (for agents and suppliers).(b) We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for exampleloss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of anydescription whatsoever which results from any of the following: -- the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or any member(s)of their party or- the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with theprovision of your holiday and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable or- ‘force majeure’ as defined in 4.5(c) For claims which do not involve personal injury, illness or death, themost we will have to pay if we are liable to you is twice the price, theperson affected, paid for their holiday (not including insurance premiumsand amendment charges). We will only have to pay this maximum amountif everything has gone wrong and you have received no benefit from yourholiday. Where enjoyment of only some days has been affected, we willrefund reasonable related expenses and pay a daily sum of compensation upto £50 per day per person affected.(d) Subject to (b) above, if you are killed, injured or become ill duringor as a result of, carriage (including the process of getting on and/or offthe transport concerned) by aircraft, ship or train forming part of theholiday arrangements booked before departure from the UK and to whichany international convention or regulation applies, our liability to paycompensation and/or the amount of compensation we will pay is limited.The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim ifwe are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier concernedwould have to pay under the international convention or regulationwhich applies to the travel arrangements in question (for example,the Warsaw Convention as amended or unamended and the MontrealConvention for international travel by air and/or for airlines with anoperating licence granted by an EU country, the EC Regulation on AirCarrier Liability No 889/2002 for national and international travel byair, the Athens Convention for international travel by sea and COTIF, theConvention on International Travel by Rail). Where a carrier would not beobliged to make any payment to you under the applicable internationalconvention or regulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, wesimilarly are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim orpart of the claim. When making any payment, we are entitled to deductany money which you have received or are entitled to receive from thecarrier for the claim in question. Copies of the applicable internationalconventions and regulations are available from us on request.e) Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/orcompensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation ordelay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airportsand will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in suchcases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday costfrom us. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made toyou by the airline will be deducted from this amount. If your airline doesnot comply with these rules you should complain to the CAA on 020 72406061 www.auc.org.uk(f) Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which donot form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additionalservices or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to providefor you where the services or facilities are not advertised by us and we havenot agreed to arrange them as part of our contract and any excursion youpurchase in resort. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on ourwebsite, in any advertising material or elsewhere, we only promise to usereasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater ordifferent liability to you.(g) The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed toprovide or arrange as part of our contract – and the laws and regulationsof the country in which your claim or complaint occurred – will be used asthe basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properlyprovided. If the particular services which gave rise to the claim or complaintcomplied with local laws and regulations applicable to those services atthe time, the services will be treated as having been properly provided.This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws andregulations of the UK which would have applied had those services beenprovided in the UK. The exception to this is where the claim or complaintconcerns the absence of a safety feature which might lead a reasonableholiday maker to refuse to take the arrangements in question. Please note,however, our obligation is to exercise reasonable skill and care as referred to(a). We do not make any representation or commitment that all services willcomply with applicable local laws and regulations and failure to comply doesnot automatically mean we have not exercised reasonable skill and care.(h) Our suppliers (such as airlines, accommodation or transport providers)have their own booking conditions or conditions of carriage, and theseconditions are binding between you and the supplier. Some of theseconditions may limit or remove the relevant transport provider’s or othersupplier’s liability to you. You can get copies of such conditions from ouroffices, or the offices of the relevant supplier.(i) If we make any payment to you or any member of your party fordeath, personal injury or illness, you must give us or our insurers therights you may have to take action against the person or organisationresponsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness and you mustco-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of any payment we make.(j) Operational decisions may be taken by air carriers and airportsresulting in delays, diversions or rescheduling. Kuoni has no control oversuch decisions, and is therefore unable to accept responsibility for them.Where, as a result of force majeure we are obliged to change or end yourholiday after departure, but before the end of your holiday, we will not paycompensation or reimburse you for expenses incurred. You should haveadequate travel insurance for your holiday and claim via your insurancecompany for any loss or damage to luggage and/or personal possessions.In the event that any claim is made directly with us, our liability to paycompensation and/or the amount of compensation will be limited inaccordance with the conventions referred to in (d) where applicable.(h) Locally Booked Excursions/Activities Whilst you are away on holiday youmay be offered the opportunity to buy optional excursions and activities.These are provided by independent local companies, which are neitherowned nor controlled by Kuoni, and for whom Kuoni acts only as an agent(if we make a booking for you).
