9. If we change or cancel

It is unlikely that we will need to make changes to your travel arrangements, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, we may have to make changes and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as possible. We also reserve the right in any circumstance to cancel your travel arrangements. For example, if the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached, we may have to cancel it.However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 60 days before the departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or for not paying the final balance.

Most alterations will be minor and while we will do our best to notify you or your travel agent of any changes as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure, we will have no further liability to you. Examples of “minor changes” include the following when made before departure: 
– A change in departure time or the total length of your vacation of twelve hours or less. 
– A change of accommodation to another of the same level or classification.

Occasionally, we may have to make a major change to your confirmed arrangements. Examples of “major changes” include the following, when made prior to departure; 
– A change of accommodation area during all or a significant part of your free time. 
– A change of accommodation to one of a lower level or classification during all or a significant part of your free time. 
– A change in the departure time or the total duration of your arrangements of twelve or more hours. 
– A significant change in your itinerary, missing one or more destinations completely.

If we have to make a major change or cancel, we will inform you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so prior to departure, we will offer you the option to: 
a) (for major changes) accept the modified arrangements, 
b) receive a refund of all money paid; or 
c) accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of lesser value).

You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If you do not, we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements.

If we make a major change or cancel, less than 60 days prior to departure, we will also pay compensation as detailed below:

Period before departure when a major change is notified and compensation per adult is paid: 
More than 84 days $ 0.00 USD 
29-84 days $ 25.00 USD 
15-28 days $ 35.00 USD 
7-14 days $ 40.00 USD 
Less than 7 days $ 50.00 USD

The compensation we offer does not preclude you from claiming more if you have the right to do so. We will not pay you compensation when we make a major change or cancel more than 60 days prior to departure or in the event that we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not having avoided it even with due care or if we cancel your arrangements because the minimum number of participants has not been reached to execute the arrangements. (We will inform you if we have to cancel for this reason no less than 45 days before departure).

The foregoing establishes the maximum extent of our liability for changes and cancellations and we regret that we are unable to cover any expenses or losses that you may incur as a result of the change or cancellation. Please note: where we offer accommodation priced higher than the original accommodation and you accept it, the price difference will be deducted from any compensation payable. In no case will we pay compensation if we offer accommodation and you accept it with a price higher than the one originally reserved in the same location where you do not make any additional payment.

We will not pay you compensation and the above options will not be available if we make a minor change or cancel as a result of your failure to pay in full on time or when the changes or cancellation by us arise from alterations to the confirmed reservation requested by you.

On very rare occasions, we may be forced by “force majeure” (see clause 10) to change or terminate your agreements after departure. If this situation occurs, we regret that we will not be able to make any reimbursement (unless we obtain one of our suppliers), pay you compensation or cover the costs or expenses that you incur as a result.

If we are unable to provide a significant proportion of the services you have booked with us after your departure, we will make alternative arrangements for you at no additional charge and, if applicable in all circumstances, we will pay you reasonable compensation.
