What is ABTA?

Formerly known as the Association of British Travel Agents, ABTA has been a trusted travel brand for over 70 years, offering advice and guidance to the travelling public, as well as leading the travel industry in supporting high service standards. We provide full financial protection for non-flight package holidays by way of a bond held by ABTA. If you buy other travel arrangements such as ‘ferry only’ this protection doesn’t apply. For more information visit www.ABTA.com

You will be reassured to know that package holidays that have been sold to you in the European Economic Area (EAA) by ABTA Members are protected financially in the event of a company failure; this means that in the unlikely event your travel company goes out of business, there will be a quick, clear and simple process for you to follow, so you’ll be able to continue your holiday as planned or get your money back. For more information visit www.abta.com.

How to book

By phone

You can book your holiday by calling our Travel Team on 01342 488 711. Remember to have your membership number handy, as well as details of your outfit and everyone travelling, including dates of birth.

Payments

You can pay a deposit or the full amount by Visa/Mastercard debit or credit card. The deposit required for your tour is £150 and you will need to pay the balance by the date given on your confirmation document.

Ferry fares

Ferry and Eurotunnel fares are valid only at the time they are given, and may change if the booking is not made immediately. Similarly, special offer fares may have limited capacity, with the full fare being payable once capacity has been reached. However we will always do our best to find you the lowest possible fare.

What happens next

Tickets and confirmation

Once you’ve booked your holiday we will email or post your travel confirmation out to you (postal confirmation is not available if you book online). Your travel confirmation is your ticket, so please keep it safe!

At the port or Eurotunnel terminal

On arrival at the ferry port you will either be asked for your ferry reference number (which is printed on your travel confirmation) or your number plate will be automatically recognised. Eurotunnel check-in uses number plate recognition. It is advisable to retain your travel confirmation until you have returned home.

At the campsite

Your travel confirmation also contains details and confirmation of your tour booking. Some sites may ask for this when you check in, so it is a good idea to have it handy when you arrive. For full terms & conditions please turn to pages 56-58.

These booking conditions, together with our privacy policy, essential information, booking information, the advice and information section and any other written information we have brought to your attention before we confirmed your booking, set out the details of your booking with The Caravan Club Limited, trading as the Caravan and Motorhome Club, Registered Office: East Grinstead House, East Grinstead, RH19 1UA, England (“we”, “us” or “The Caravan and Motorhome Club”). Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. In these Booking Conditions, “you” and “your” include the first named person on the booking and all persons on whose behalf a booking is made or any other person to whom a booking is added or transferred.

By making a booking, the first named person on the booking agrees on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that:

1. He/she has read these terms and conditions and has the authority to and does agree to be bound by them;

2. He/she 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);

3. He/she is over 18 years of age and resident in the United Kingdom (if you are not a resident of the United Kingdom, you must advise us prior to booking) and where placing an order for services with age restrictions declares that he/she and all members of the party are of the appropriate age to purchase those services;

4. He/she accepts financial responsibility for payment of the booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking.

Our obligations to you are as a package organiser in the sale of a package holiday.

1. Making A Booking

When we receive your booking and all appropriate payments, we will (subject to availability), confirm your booking by issuing a confirmation invoice.

A binding contract between you and us comes into existence when we dispatch the booking confirmation to the party leader. Please check this invoice carefully as soon as you receive it. You must contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later.

We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within 7 days of our sending it out. We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved in doing so.

All documents (e.g. confirmation documents/holiday packs) will be sent to you by post or e-mail. Once documents leave our offices we will not be responsible for their loss unless such loss is due to our negligence. If tickets or other documents need to be reissued all costs must be paid by you. You can ask for delivery by other means subject to the charges.

The booking information that you provide to us will be passed on only to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements or other persons necessary for the provision of your travel arrangements. The information may therefore be provided to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary and religious requirements. Certain information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies.

2. Payment

You will be required to pay a deposit or make full payment for your booking at the time of booking. Where you only pay 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 may cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out below.

To confirm your booking, you must pay a deposit at the time of booking. The deposit will ordinarily be £150 per outfit. However, some ferry operators and Eurotunnel may require a higher deposit at the time of booking or may require full payment if you are booking more than ten weeks before departure. You will be advised of the exact amount payable at the time of booking.

Full payment of the balance must be received by the ‘Balance Due’ date shown on your booking confirmation, which will be 10 weeks before your departure date. If full payment is not received by the balance due date, we may cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out below.

When accepting any booking within ten weeks of the departure date we reserve the right to ask you to pay the full cost of your booking.

We accept the following methods of payment: Visa/MasterCard debit or credit card authorisation.

NB: No confirmations or other documentation will be forwarded until all invoiced balances have been paid.

3. Accuracy

We endeavour to ensure that the tour descriptions, holiday information and prices both on our website and in our brochures is up to date at the time of going to press but it is possible (for example) for a campsite to change hands or for certain facilities or services at the campsites to be altered and we therefore must emphasise that the contents of our brochure/website represent the detail available at the time of publication.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of such information and prices at the time of printing, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen arrangements (including the price) with us at the time of booking.

4. Special requests

If you have any special requests (for example pitch location), please let us know at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the supplier/representatives but we do not guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed by us. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met.

5. Insurance

Adequate travel insurance is a condition of your contract with us. You must take out a policy of insurance in order to cover you and your party against the cost of cancellation by you; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money; and other expenses. Failure to disclose relevant information may affect your insurance. If you fail to travel with adequate insurance cover we will not be liable for any losses in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available. For some Package holiday bookings where we act as Organiser, if you do not take our own Red Pennant Holiday insurance we may require you to provide details of your alternative insurance cover, the benefits

of which must be at least as good as those offered by Red Pennant. Where you are asked to provide such details, we will not check the suitability of the policy and it will remain your responsibility to ensure your chosen insurance policy is adequate for your needs. Details of the policy we offer are shown in our brochures and on our website, www.caravanclub.co.uk/insurance/overseas-holiday-insurance

Premiums must be paid as soon as possible as cover will not be effective until we receive all applicable premiums in full. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on your break. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs. When purchasing insurance, either by way of our own Red Pennant Holiday insurance or your own personal policy, please ensure that all relevant information has been provided by you (e.g. pre-existing medical conditions). Failure to disclose relevant information will affect your insurance.

6. Ratings & Standards

All the ‘star’ and category ratings given in our brochures or on our website are those granted to the campsites by the authorities of the countries in which they are located. These are not grades awarded by our personnel and in no way represent comparisons with our own sites in the UK.

We also publish member ratings for the campsites that we promote. Please note that such ratings are simply an amalgamation of the reviews that we have received for the applicable campsite from our members and do not present ratings that we have set or imposed ourselves. We have no control over such ratings or the reviews provided by our members and no warranty is given or implied in respect of the same.

Standards and ratings may vary between countries, as well as between suppliers. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any ratings given and no warranty is given or implied. Please note that as a general rule, the requirements and standards of the country you visit will not be the same as the UK and may sometimes be lower.

7. Behaviour

Please be aware that the booking conditions of the supplier will normally state that your holiday arrangements can be terminated, with no refund, if the behaviour of your party falls below an acceptable standard. Suppliers will also often require you to pay for any damage you cause to the accommodation or services in resort. We are under no obligation to you if any event such as this occurs. You agree to indemnify us for the full amount of any claim (including all legal costs) made against us by the supplier or any third party as a result of your conduct.

In order to maintain the security and safety at all of our sites we prohibit users who have been convicted of, or received a police caution for, a sexual offence (listed in Schedule 3 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003) and have been made subject to the notification requirements under the sexual offenders register or a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. If we are made aware that either yourself or a member of your party are subject to these provisions then we reserve the right to terminate your booking in advance or whilst on site during your stay, without a refund.

8. Entry, Passport, Visa and Immigration & Health Formalities

It is your responsibility to check and fulfil the entry, passport, visa, health and immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary. If you or any member of your party is 16 or over and haven’t yet got a passport, our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least 6 weeks before your arrangements but preferably as far in advance as possible. We can only provide general information about this. You must check requirements for your own specific circumstances with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates and your own doctor as applicable. Requirements do change and you must check the up to date position in good time before departure.

Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 3 or 6 months after your return date. If your passport is in its final year, you should check with the Embassy of the country you are visiting. For further information contact the Passport Office on 0870 5210410 or visit https://www.gov.uk/browse/citizenship/ passports.

For European travel you should obtain a UK Global Health Insurance Card (UK GHIC) prior to departure unless you are able to rely upon an existing European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). For travel to Switzerland there are different rules for using your UK GHIC or EHIC and if travelling in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, UK GHIC and EHIC can not be used for medical treatment. Passengers to these destinations should obtain comprehensive medical insurance prior to departure, including cover for emergency medical treatment and associated costs.

Up to date travel advice can be obtained from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, visit https://www.gov.uk/travelaware.

Non British passport holders, including other EU nationals, should obtain up to date advice on entry, passport, visa, health and immigration requirements from the Embassy, High Commission or Consulate of your destination or country(ies) through which you are travelling,

We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel, or incur any other loss because you have not complied with any entry, passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. You agree to reimburse us in relation to any fines or other losses which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any entry passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities.

Please note: The impacts of Brexit may change your visa, ticket and health requirements. Third country nationals may require an airport transit visa when passing through EU Member States. There is the potential for disruption at borders when travelling between the UK and EU Member States and you should allow sufficient time for this when planning any onward travel. You should check any impacts of Brexit on your travel, in advance of your departure, to ensure that you fulfil the requirements post-Brexit, including any passport validity requirements. You can find UK Government information from the Foreign,Commonwealth and Development Office here: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

9. Force Majeure

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking 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 Booking Conditions, Force Majeure means any event beyond our 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 the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination (including but not limited to Covid-19

or future strains of Covid-19 and the ongoing effects of Covid-19), epidemic, pandemic, 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 control or the control of the supplier concerned.

10. Law & Jurisdiction

These terms and conditions are governed by English law and we both agree that any dispute arising between the parties is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales (unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case you can bring proceedings in your local court under Scottish or Northern Irish law, as applicable).

11. Conditions Of Suppliers

Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions which will form part of your contract with us. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from us or the supplier concerned.

12. Data protection and privacy

We may use your details in order to send you information about other products and services provided by the Caravan and Motorhome Club, or to carry out research. We may contact you by letter, telephone or email. Telephone calls to the Club may be monitored or recorded for training purposes only. Please be reassured that we will not make your personal details available to any organisation or person outside of the Club to use for their own marketing purposes. If you would prefer not to receive any further information or participate in research, simply tell us when you next call or write to us.

Please see our data protection and privacy policy www.caravanclub.co.uk/privacy-policy/ for full information regarding the way in which we use and store your personal data.

13. Services

Unless otherwise stated in the campsite or tour description, all members must settle any bills directly with the relevant site administration. This could include, but is not limited to, any bills for water or sewage connections, tourist tax, registration fees, Eco tax, rubbish tax and pet charges.

14. Your Property

You must pay all due care and attention to your personal belongings. We cannot accept any liability if they are lost or damaged. Unattended caravans, motorhomes or any other vehicles and their contents are the sole responsibility of their operators.

15. Campsite Facilities & Activities

Our brochures and website describe the facilities and activities normally available at each campsite during the main part of the season, which is commonly national holidays and school holidays specific to the countries advertised in our brochures and on our website. Please note that facilities and services are generally available depending on the number of people participating. These services will not be offered if there are insufficient numbers.

At many sites not all facilities and activities will be operating during the early and late season (e.g. as a result of lack of demand, weather conditions, maintenance and repair etc.) and we cannot be held liable for nonprovision of any service. In some cases only a bare minimum of facilities and no activities will be open during the low season.

16. Definition Of Package

Where your booking is for a Package Holiday that we have organised, as defined below, we will act as a “Package Organiser” and you will receive the rights and benefits under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (“PTRs”) as amended, as outlined in these Booking Terms and Conditions.

A “Package Holiday” exists if you book a combination of at least two of the following separate travel services for the purpose of the same trip or holiday:

(a) transport;

(b) accommodation;

(c) rental of cars, motor vehicles or motorcycles (in certain circumstances); (d) any other tourist service not intrinsically part of one of the above travel services; provided that those separate travel services are purchased together from a single visit to our contact centre or website and selected by you before you agree to pay; or are offered, sold or charged at an inclusive or total price; or advertised or sold under the term “package” or a similar term.

17. Pricing Of Packages

The prices stated in our brochures and on our website are exclusively available only when booking in advance with the Caravan and Motorhome Club.

Our prices were calculated on the basis of then known costs and exchange rates. We reserve the right to increase or decrease the prices of unsold arrangements at any time. We also reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your arrangements are confirmed. The price of your chosen arrangements will be confirmed at the time of booking.

Once the price of your chosen arrangements has been confirmed at the time of booking, then, subject to the correction of errors, we will only increase or decrease the price to allow for increases which are a direct consequence of changes in:

(i) the price of the carriage of passengers resulting from the cost of fuel or other power sources; (ii) the level of taxes or fees applicable to the holiday imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; and (iii) the exchange rates relevant to the package.

Such variations could include but are not limited to ferry cost changes and any other transport providers. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements. You will be charged for the amount over and above that. You will be charged for the amount of any increase in accordance with this condition. However, if this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your confirmed holiday (excluding any insurance premiums, amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements), you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us, except for any insurance premiums and any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 7 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy.

Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, then any refund due will be paid to you less an administrative fee of £20. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place.

There will be no change made to the price of your confirmed holiday within 20 days of your departure nor will refunds be paid during this period.

Please Note: Many transport operators are now using ‘Flexible Pricing’. This effectively means that prices can and do vary on a daily basis for the same arrangements.

Consequently, where we give a quotation for a particular journey, this is only valid at the time of quoting.

Any booking made at a later time may be at a different rate. We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error. Please note, changes and errors occasionally occur. You must check the price of your chosen arrangements at the time of booking.

18. Cutting Your Package Holiday Short

If you are forced to return home early, we 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, we 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.

19. Changes By You & Transfers Of Bookings

If you wish to change any part of your booking arrangements after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you must inform us in writing or by telephone as soon as possible. This should be done by the first named person on the booking.

Whilst we will do our best to assist, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet your requested change. Where we can meet a request, all changes will be subject to payment of an administration fee of £20 per change as well as any applicable rate changes or extra costs incurred as well as any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible.

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. A cancellation fee may be payable.

Transfers Of Bookings:

If any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else subject to the following conditions:

1. that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the holiday;

2. we are notified not less than 7 days before departure;

3. you pay any outstanding balance payment, an amendment fee of £20 per person transferring, as well as any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer; and

4. the transferee agrees to these booking conditions and all other terms of the contract between us.

You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out in condition 20 will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services.

Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended or transferred after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.

20. If You Cancel Before Departure

If you or any member of your party decides to cancel your confirmed booking you must notify us in writing or by telephone. Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received by us at our offices and will be effective from the date on which we receive it.

As we and our suppliers incur costs from the time we confirm your booking, the following charges will apply: If cancellation is received prior to or on Balance Due Date, your deposit will be retained. Except in the case where a non-refundable fare has been booked, when the entire fare amount will be retained. If cancellation is received after Balance Due Date, then the cancellation charges set out in the table below will apply. In the event that only one element of a confirmed booking is cancelled a £20 cancellation charge will be applied to your booking together with all costs and charges as detailed above.

Period Cancellation charge

More than 70 days (Balance due date) before departure Deposit Only 70-31 days before departure Deposit + 25% of the Balance 16-30 days before departure Deposit + 50% of the Balance 8 -15 days before departure Deposit + 75% of the Balance 1-7 days before departure or after departure Deposit + 100% of the Balance

Claims may be made on the Red Pennant Service (if purchased by you) if the reason for the cancellation is covered (see Red Pennant policy wording).

Where any cancellation reduces the duration of stay or number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places and/ or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly.

Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended after they have been confirmed and any alteration or cancellation could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements in addition to the charge above.

21. Cancellation By You Due To Unavoidable & Extraordinary Circumstances

You have the right to cancel your confirmed holiday before departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” occurring at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the holiday or significantly affecting the transport arrangements to the destination. In these circumstances, we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office advises against travel to your destination or its immediate vicinity. For the purposes of this condition, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” means warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination.

This condition 21 outlines the rights you have if you wish to cancel your Package booking. Please note that there is no automatic statutory right of cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

22. If We Make A Change Or Cancel Your Package Holiday

We start planning the arrangements that we offer many months in advance. Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors in our brochure and other details both before and after bookings have been confirmed, and can cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. However, we will only cancel your confirmed arrangements after the date the balance of the cost of your holiday is due where you have failed to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time), where we are forced to do so as a result of Force Majeure as defined in condition 9, or where minimum numbers for any tour or other arrangement as advertised in our brochure or on our website, are not reached by 10 weeks prior to the date of departure.

Changes: If we make an insignificant change to your holiday, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure but we will have no liability to you. Examples of “insignificant changes” include the following when made before departure: any change in the advertised identity of the carrier(s), Eurotunnel / ferry timings, and/or ferry type; a change of outward departure time or overall length of your holiday of twelve hours or less; a change of accommodation to another of the same standard or classification.

Occasionally, we may have to make a “significant change” to your holiday. “Significant changes” include the following changes when made before departure; a change of accommodation area for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of outward departure time or overall length of time you are away of twelve or more hours, or a change of UK departure point to one which is more inconvenient for you.

If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:

(a) For significant changes accepting the changed arrangements or

(b) accepting an offer of alternative arrangements from us, of a similar or higher standard, if available (at no extra cost); or

(c) if available, accepting an offer of alternative arrangements of a lower standard, with a refund of the price difference between the original arrangements and the alternative arrangements; or (d) Cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and prompt refund of all monies you have paid to us.

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

In addition to a full refund of all monies paid by you, we will pay you reasonable compensation, in the following circumstances:

- If, where we make a significant change, you do not accept the changed arrangements and cancel your booking;

- If we cancel your booking and no alternative arrangements are available.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not pay you compensation in the following circumstances: - where we make an insignificant change; - where we make a significant change or cancel your arrangements more than 70 days before departure; - where we make a significant change and you accept those changed arrangements or you accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements; - where we have to cancel your arrangements as a result of your failure to make full payment on time; - where the change or cancellation by us arises out of alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you; - where we are forced to cancel or change your arrangements due to Force Majeure (see condition 9).

If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the services that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will, if possible, make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and, where those alternative arrangements are of a lower standard, provide you with an appropriate price reduction.

23. Our Responsibilities To You In Respect Of Package Holidays

1. We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an “organiser” under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, as amended as set out below and as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of the travel services specifically included in your Package, as set out in your confirmation invoice, brochure, website and the information we provided to you regarding the services prior to booking. Please note that we shall not be responsible for any additional services provided to you, whether provided by the travel service providers or otherwise, which are not set out in your confirmation invoice, brochure, website and the information we provided to you regarding the services prior to booking.

2. We will not be responsible nor pay you compensation for any personal injury or death unless you are able to prove that it was caused by our negligence or the negligence of our suppliers.

3. 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 unavoidable and extraordinary; or c) Force Majeure (as defined in condition 9).

4. We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this condition: a) 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.

b) Claims not falling under (a) above and which don’t involve injury, illness or death: the maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims 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.

c) Claims in respect of international travel by air, sea and rail, or any stay in a hotel:

i. Where applicable, the extent of our liability will in all cases be limited as if we were carriers under the appropriate Conventions such as The Athens Convention (with respect to sea travel) and The Berne/Cotif Convention (with respect to rail travel). You can ask for copies of this Convention from our offices. Please contact us. In addition, you agree that the operating carrier or transport company’s own ‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to you on that journey. When arranging transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those ‘Conditions of Carriage’. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ form part of your contract with us, as well as with the transport company and that those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract.

ii. Where applicable, in any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you by virtue of EC 261/2004 (denied boarding and flight disruption), any liability we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier.

iii. Where applicable, 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.

5. Subject to these Booking Terms & Conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange those services set out in the confirmation invoice, brochure, website and the information we provided to you regarding the services prior to booking and we don’t remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of time, and this has affected the enjoyment of your Package travel arrangements you may be entitled to an appropriate price reduction or compensation or both. You must inform us without undue delay of any failure to perform or improper performance of the travel services included in this Package. The level of any such price reduction or compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: following the complaints procedure as described in these Booking Terms & Conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees’ or suppliers’ negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your trip. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.

6. It is a condition of our acceptance of liability under this condition that you notify any claim to us and our supplier(s) strictly in accordance with the complaints procedure set out in these conditions.

7. Where any payment is made, 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 provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require.

8. Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description:

a) 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; or b) relate to any business:

c) indirect or consequential loss of any kind.

9. We will not accept responsibility for services or facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are not advertised on our website or in any printed material we may produce. For example any excursion you book whilst away, or any service or facility which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you.

10. Where it is impossible for you to return to your departure point as per the agreed return date of your Package, due to “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances”, we shall provide you with any necessary accommodation (where possible, of a comparable standard) for a period not exceeding three nights per person. Please note that the 3 night cap does not apply to persons with reduced mobility, pregnant women or unaccompanied minors, nor to persons needing specific medical assistance, provided we have been notified of these particular needs at least 48 hours before the start of your trip. For the purposes of this condition, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” mean warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely back to your departure point.

24. Delays

We do not offer flights and we are not responsible for any flight you may otherwise book. In the event that you make such a booking with another supplier, please read those terms and conditions carefully. You may have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from the airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Contact your airlines or the third party you made a flight booking with for more information.

If you or any member of your party misses your transport arrangement, it is cancelled or you are subject to a delay of over 3 hours for any reason, you must contact us and the transport supplier concerned immediately. Please note, where you have booked transportation separately and delays etc. affect the booking made through us, this does not give the customer the right to claim a refund for any nights missed nor amend their booking with us.

Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of your transport arrangement and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday price from us. A delay or cancellation to your transport arrangement does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other part of your itinerary with us even where those have been made in conjunction with your flight.

25. Insolvency Protection For Packages

We provide full financial protection for our package holidays by way of a bond held by ABTA Ltd, The Travel Association 30 Park Street London SE1 9EQ www.abta.co.uk.

You agree to accept that in the event of our insolvency, ABTA may arrange for the travel services you have booked to continue, or for a suitable alternative to be provided at the same cost of your original booking.

You also agree to accept that in circumstances where the travel services supplier provides the services you have booked, you agree to pay any outstanding sum under your contract with us to that alternative travel service provider. However, you also agree that in some cases the services will not be provided, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under ABTA’s Scheme of Protection (or your payment card issuer where applicable) for a refund of the monies you have paid.

26. Location Of Pitches

We cannot guarantee that members will be allocated pitches all together in the same area of the campsite. However, campsite operators will be requested to arrange this wherever possible.

27. The Caravan Code

Members are required to adhere to and abide by The Caravan Code as set out in the Caravan and Motorhome Club’s UK Sites Directory and Handbook. Parents have responsibility for their children at all times unless placed in the care of a duly authorised person. Particular care should be taken on sites with lakes, swimming pools and children’s playgrounds.

28. Unused Or Additional Nights

No refunds can be made for any nights not spent at campsites booked in the holiday itinerary. Where members want to stay extra nights, please contact us and we will attempt to extend your booking, subject to payment by you of any additional charges that may apply.

Members are responsible for paying any campsite fees in respect of night halts which are not included in a booking itinerary.

29. Holidays Including Ferry or Eurotunnel Travel

Members must travel out and back on the ferries/Eurotunnel at the times booked by us. Members who travel with any other ferry operator and/or at a different time than the booked sailing will be liable for the full cost of the alternative arrangement.

If an outbound ferry or Eurotunnel crossing is not used then the inbound will automatically be cancelled by the ferry operator or Eurotunnel.

No reduction in prices can be granted to shareholders of the ferry companies utilised. Any ferry offers published in Club publications, or on our website, may be restricted by booking type, date, etc.

30. Prompt Assistance for Packages

If, whilst 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 Booking 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 travel 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.

31. Complaints

Where you have booked a package holiday with us, please inform the relevant supplier immediately and contact us at our European Tours Department at East Grinstead on 01342 316 101 during office hours or on 01342 336 606 in cases of emergency.

If your complaint is not resolved locally, please follow this up, ideally within 28 days of your return home, by writing to our European Tours Department giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services in question without delay. If you fail to follow this procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract.
