Liability

The suppliers liability to tour members carried in its own vehicles is governed by the laws of the country in which the tour takes place.  All claims are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the country in which the cause of action arises.  Save where the suppliers provide their own vehicles for the transportation of tour members, the suppliers and their agents act only as agents of the passenger in all matters relating to hotel accommodation, sightseeing, tours, and transport, whether by aircraft, rail, road, motor coach, ship, boat, or any other means - and shall not be liable for any failure to perform, injury, delay, loss, or damage arising from or in connection with the provision of such hotel accommodation, sightseeing, tours, and transport save where such failure, injury, delay, loss, or damage is caused by the negligence of the suppliers.  The supplier's maximum aggregate liability to each tour member for the negligence of or breach of contract by the suppliers shall not exceed the tour price.

Alteration

The suppliers reserve the right to cancel or alter the whole or any part of any tour at their sole discretion should circumstance or events make this necessary in the supplier's reasonable opinion. On such occurrence, a suitable alternative will be offered and, if appropriate, a proportional refund will be made. The supplier's liability to tour members for breach of contract or in the event of services not being provided as a result of negligence of the suppliers or their staff, is limited to the actual cost of such services to tour members. Any consequential or indirect costs resulting therefrom are excluded. The suppliers will use all reasonable endeavors to provide an alternative arrangement of equal value, subject to availability.

Complaints

It is likely the tour member's complaint will be satisfactorily resolved there and then. If, however, this is not the case, and the tour member wishes to pursue the matter on his/her return from holiday it is essential the complaint is communicated in writing to the relevant travel agent within 14 days of his/her return, quoting holiday references, departure date, and destination. If a tour member is unfortunate enough to have personal property stolen or sustains injury or any disruption to his/her arrangements, the matter must be reported to the local agent/supplier immediately Where necessary the matter should be reported to the nearest police station, and a police report should be obtained which can be presented to the tour member's insurance company if he/she intends to claim on his/her return home.
