I . PARTICULAR TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1 – Booking and Payment
The booking of a Golf & Co holiday package means that the user had agreed to the terms and conditions of Sale.
For any booking made less than 30 days prior to the departure, the confirmation comes into effect as soon as the full amount due has been paid, insofar as there are still availabilities and that Golf & Co can materialize them.
For any booking made more than 30 days before the departure, the confirmation comes into effect as soon as a deposit of 30% of the total cost of the travel arrangements, insofar as there are still availabilities. The balance of the cost of your travel arrangements must be paid within 30 days before the departure date.
2 - Travel
It is each traveller’s responsibility to ensure that they comply with the police and health regulations that the Tunisian Authorities request and have all necessary documentation. Golf & Co cannot be held responsible for the traveller(s) failure to comply to those regulations.
British citizens need to ensure that they have the necessary valid passport with at least six months validity before they travel to Tunisia. For more information go to the « Passport » section on http://ukintunisia.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-british-nationals/.
3 - Modifications / cancellations
Golf & Co reserves the right to cancel a holiday package up to 21 prior to the departure if circumstances are not favourable and will either refund the full amount of monies paid out by the customer or offer an alternative package.
In case of a cancellation by the customer, a cancellation fee will be retained :
- more than 30 days before the date of departure : 20% of the total cost of the travel arrangements with an excess of 250€
- between 30 and 21 days before the date of departure : 35% of the total cost of the travel arrangements.
- between 20 and 14 days before the date of departure : 50% of the total cost of the travel arrangements.
- between 13 to 5 days before the date of departure : 75% of the total cost of the travel arrangements.
- less than 5 days before the date of departure : 100% of the total cost of the travel arrangements.
Exceptions :
• Because of the schedules of some airline companies, we sometimes have to issue your plane tickets a long time in advance and sometimes even as soon as you book your travel arrangements. As soon as the plane tickets have been issued and regardless of the date of cancellation, you will be charge a cancelling fee equal to 100% of the price of the plane ticket.
• When several customers book travel arrangements as a group but one of them cancels, the cancellation fees are taken off the monies paid out to Attitude Consulting for these travel arrangements, regardless of whom paid the monies out to us.
4 - Flights
The liabilities of airline companies are described in their terms and conditions accessible on their website or on request by contacting us. The booking of travel arrangements means that you agree to comply with the airline company’s terms and conditions. An airline company may modify the flight’s schedule, itinerary, airports of departure and arrival without prior notice.
In the case when the customer decides to cancel his travel arrangements because of such modifications or technical problems or political or climatic issues, delays, cancellations or strikes, extra stopovers, change of planes or course of flight, the cancellation fee described in the above article 3 will be charged.
5 - Golf
Golf & Co cannot be held responsible if you cannot play the round of golf you have chosen because of bad weather conditions.
However, Golf & Co will inform the customers directly if the game conditions on the chosen course were modified significantly.
6 - Insurances
The prices offered do not include any insurance policy. We therefore recommend that the customer subscribes to an insurance policy that will cover you in the event of a cancellation from you and arrangements for any accident, medical emergency or evacuation.
It is advisable to take out insurance suitable for your needs before you travel. Subscription to an insurance policy must happen on the date when the booking is confirmed at the latest.
7 - Tarrifs
When the booking is confirmed, the final fixed price is given in euros. It includes all the services described in the personalised quote you have received. However, in accordance to the law, we may have to modify our prices and our packages in the following cases :
• changes in airline fares, including when due to fuel cost.
• changes in charges and taxes related to the services offered, such as airport, landing and boarding taxes.
• changes of more than 5 % in currency rates.
In the case of a booking by several individuals under a single booking reference number, the price per person may be different depending on the number of people and the services and activities chosen. Consequently, in case of cancellation by one or several customers, the price for the remaining customers who have not cancelled might itself be different from the initial quoted price. Any refusal from the remaining customers to pay the new price will be considered as the customers themselves cancelling and will be liable to the cancellation fees described in article 3.
8 - Responsibility
According to the article L.211-17 of the Tourism Code, Attitude Consulting cannot be held responsible for the consequences of the following events :
• Loss or theft of plane tickets (the airline company do not issue duplicates).
• No presentation of the identity and/or health documentation (Identity Card, Passport, Visas, Immunisation Certificate...) or of expired documentation or of documentation whose validity does not cover the whole duration of the holiday or that do not comply with the landing card instructions or the check-in or border control requirements. If you fail to check in (and this include if you are too late to board), the whole amount for your travel arrangements will be withheld.
• Accident or unforeseeable events affecting a third party independent of Attitude Consulting such as wars, political turmoil, strikes, technical problems affecting a third party independent of Attitude Consulting, saturated airspace, bankruptcy of one of the service providers, bad weather, delays (including postal delay of the travel tickets), breakdown, loss or theft of luggage or other belongings. The delays caused by the above causes and the modifications they may generate will not entitle the customer, in any case, to a compensation, even if the length of the total travel arrangements has been affected or if they caused the customer to be late for a connecting flight. Any additional cost related to a disruption (tax, hotel, parking,...) will be the customer’s responsibility.
• Cancellation caused by circumstances of force majeure and/or related to the customer’s security and/or requested by an administrative authority. Attitude Consulting reserves the right to modify the planned dates, times or itineraries if they deem the security of the traveller endangered.
9 - Complaints
Unless in a case of force majeure and without excluding a possible legal arbitration, any complaint must be sent with proofs by recorded post with proof of delivery to Attitude Consulting within 10 days of your return.
