Our G.O®s at reception are always there to answer any questions you might have. The main information boards are normally displayed in both French and English. Plus there are English-speaking staff members on hand throughout the day and evening across the Resort.
We pay particular attention to ensuring that your children feel immediately at ease and included. We do our best to ensure that they take part in the activities on offer with other English-speaking children and are supervised by English-speaking G.O®s.

IMPORTANT Some Club Med® services (such as Club Med Passworld® and Juniors’ Club Med®) are only available on certain dates, whether during or outside French school holidays. In exceptional cases, some of our Resorts, during the local school holidays (i.e. the school holidays of the country in which the Resort is based), may offer services that, at any other time of the season, would not be available. To find out the services that will be available in your chosen Resort during your stay, you are advised to consult your travel agent or visit www.clubmed.co.uk NEW At Valmorel, for children ages 2 to 7 inclusive, there is a morning shuttle service, supervised by G.Os®, between the Chalet Apartments and the Resort.
Registering your children On arrival at the Resort, parents or guardians must see the G.O® team at Baby Club Med®*, Petit Club Med®* or Mini Club Med® to register their children on the appropriate site list. At this point it is also vital that you inform them of any allergies or habits that your child may have. Supervision • The G.O®s supervising your children at Baby Club Med®*, Petit Club Med®* and Mini Club Med® are all qualified (in France, they either are qualified to look after very young children or have BAFA (children’s group leader) certification, depending on the age of the children they are supervising, and in other countries, they have the equivalent local qualification or are significantly experienced in looking after very young children). • Quality standards apply when supervising children, particularly with respect to the number of children per G.O®. Under no circumstances will this quota be exceeded at Baby Club Med®* and Petit Club Med®*. To ensure the highest level of safety for your children, G.O®s never work alone and are assisted by other G.O®s if necessary. • G.O®s are responsible for children during the opening hours of Baby Club Med®*, Petit Club Med®* or Mini Club Med®, on condition that their parents or guardians have correctly filled in the attendance register provided, stating in particular (next to their signature) the time at which their child has been left and will be collected, and where the parents or guardians can be reached. • All children remain close to their parents or guardians, and can see them at any time of the day. Safety • The equipment in the children’s clubs complies with French and American safety standards (e.g. use of safety glass etc.). • All children under G.O® supervision wear a wristband so that they can be easily identified and accounted for. A contact log is used to keep parents informed of what their child gets up to each day. • Parents or guardians are fully responsible for their children’s welfare outside of any activities organised by Baby Club Med®*, Petit Club Med®*, Mini Club Med®, Juniors’ Club Med® and Club Med Passworld®. This applies in particular to the swimming pools, where access is prohibited to both adults and children outside the times when a lifeguard is present, and the beach. Health • In accordance with the French legislation currently applicable to companies and other concerns providing supervision to children aged under 6 years, children in this age group will only be admitted to Baby Club Med®*, Petit Club Med®* or Mini Club Med® children’s clubs upon presentation of a medical certificate, issued immediately prior to your arrival at the Resort, stating that your child is in a fit state of health for participation in children’s group activities:
1/ For Baby Club Med®* at Chamonix Mont Blanc and Valmorel. 2/ For Petit Club Med®* at La Plagne 2100, Peisey-Vallandry, Serre-Chevalier and Valmorel. 3/ For Mini Club Med® at Serre-Chevalier for children from age 4 to 6. • In addition, in order for children to gain admission to all Resorts with Baby Club Med®* and Petit Club Med®*, their parents or guardians must be able to prove that all their children’s vaccinations are up to date (medical certificate or health record). In the case of Baby Club Med®*, the vaccinations must include the child’s first jabs against diphtheria, tetanus and polio. • Please ensure that there is no medical reason why your child should not take part in the sports activities offered in the Club Med Resort. • Access to the children’s clubs is reserved only to children deemed able to cope with life in a group environment and who are free of infectious or contagious illnesses or fever. This restriction continues to apply until all visible signs of illness disappear. If there are signs of infectious illness, Club Med reserves the right to demand that the child be taken back home, or at least kept in strict isolation away from contact with other children (all communal areas). This precaution also applies to all stages of chicken pox (varicella). • Depending on the local medical services available, a nurse will be on hand in the Resorts with Mini Club Med®and Petit Club Med®*. A doctor will also be on hand in some of our Resorts with Baby Club Med®*. Their role is limited to detecting, advising, recommending a course of action and giving therapeutic or first aid treatment. However, for ethical reasons, under no circumstances can they take the place of a local doctor, who is the only person authorised to prescribe medicine and/or administer treatment. Furthermore, under no circumstances are G.O®s permitted to administer medicines to children. If a child is on medication, only the parents or guardians are allowed to administer this. Under no circumstances are the children’s club G.Os® authorised to replace the parents in this instance. This could preclude your child attending the children’s club (e.g. children carrying Epipens). • We do not have the facilities in place to take responsibility of children requiring special medical supervision (especially monitoring) or one-to-one special care from a third party. These children shall remain under the sole responsibility of their parents or guardians. Meals for children suffering from food allergies can only be given by their parents or guardians. • Any consultations or visits to/from a local doctor must be paid for by the parents or guardians.
*At extra cost.

Snow sports practical information IMPORTANT • We advise you to start your week’s skiing holiday on the Resort’s main change-over day. This will allow you to use your ski pass and to take part in your first ski classes on the day after you arrive. NB: there are no ski classes on the Resort’s main change-over day. • Throughout your holiday, stick to the winter sports activity you chose at the time of enrolment as this will assure you of the best possible conditions for making progress. Classes are only available for Alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing(1) and snowshoe walking, Nordic Walking and hiking(2), with no option available to combine these three different winter sports. • Do not forget the ID photos for yourselves and your children required for ski passes in some resorts. • Other winter sports (snowblades, monoskis, skwal etc…) are not accepted in our lessons. • You are welcome to arrive at your Club Med Resort on the first day any time from 3pm onwards. If you arrive early, lunch on your first day will be at extra cost. • You must request your ski pass on your day of arrival as it takes half a day for them to be issued. If you lose your ski pass, you will not receive a refund unless you have taken out Zéro Souci (Fully Comprehensive) Ski Insurance.
PROFESSIONALISM AND INFORMATION: THE COMMITMENT OF CLUB MED • The Club Med policy with regard to sports activities is based on specialist training of our entire team of G.O® staff, and on the regular provision of information to our resort management staff and their teams. This strategy is the result of many years of experience at your service in the world of sports. • You are strongly advised to follow the safety rules and instructions given by the ski instructors, and those posted on billboards around the Club Med Resorts, close to the entrance points to installations or at the foot of the ski lifts. YOUR HEALTH COMES FIRST • To take part in any sports activity, you should be in good physical shape (please see the chapter on Health). You should only engage in sports that match your physical capabilities, and you should never overestimate these, particularly if the activity is liable to cause you muscular or heart problems. • Make sure you take plenty of fluid on a regular basis. You should not wait until you get thirsty before getting something to drink. Before any strenuous exercise, it is advisable to eat slow-metabolising sugars (bread, pasta, rice, cereals, etc.). • If you feel any discomfort or pain, no matter whether you are an adult or a child, you should take it as a warning and slow down straightaway, change activity or stop altogether. SAFETY, AN IMPORTANT FACTOR AND A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY Even though safety management in these ski areas is improving all the time, a mountain environment remains a potentially dangerous one and you should, therefore, take great care when taking part in winter sports. For your own well-being, please follow the guidelines below to avoid injury or discomfort: • get into good physical shape before going on holiday; • warm up before setting off on your day on skis. Do the same again after any extended periods spent on ski lifts; • make the most of the stretching classes offered in our Resorts to relax your muscles at the end of the day; • check your bindings every morning or better still, get a specialist G.O® to look at them for you; • wear your sunglasses, gloves and hat at all times; • the safety of everyone on piste depends on people following all the safety rules; • it is strongly recommended that both children (compulsory in Cervinia and Sahoro) and adults wear helmets*;
• Great care must be taken when skiing off-piste and a professional skier must always be your guide. Rigidly follow the code of conduct given to skiers on the slopes (which can be accessed on the site www.mdem.org). Dangers are always present no matter the weather conditions. Off-piste skiing requires a certain level of aptitude and a good knowledge of the mountain environment and it is essential that you take with you an avalanche search and find system (ARVA type), which must be hired* at the ski resort, a snow shovel, a probe, a torch, etc. Off-piste skiing is available on expert and level 3 courses. • Depending on the weather conditions and the requirements of its guests, Club Med expressly reserves the right to make changes with regard to the type and quantity of sports equipment detailed in the Brochure. CHILDREN WITH ADULTS At Club Med Resorts for Everyone, teens can take part in the same lessons as adults and at the same time from the age of 12 (access to the weights room for ages 16 and over only). As the organisation of sports activities varies from one Club Med Resort to another, you should ask your travel agent for information, either visit www.clubmed.co.uk, or check the table at the back of the current Trident Brochure to see which activities are on offer and the levels available at each Club Med Resort. *At extra cost.

Travel Information TRAVEL FROM THE UK Club Med works in partnership with several scheduled, charter and low-cost airlines to offer you the best possible travel options. Whilst our holidays are priced on London departures, many regional departures are available on request and may be subject to a supplement charge. Travel arrangements shown in this brochure are made many months in advance. Flight schedules, as well as transfer and flight durations are provisional and subject to change. A confirmed itinerary will be sent to you or your Travel Agent with your travel documents approximately 2-3 weeks before departure. Flight schedules may change up to the point of departure. Should you arrive late or depart early due to flight schedules, Club Med will not offer any compensation to you as long as the number of nights spent in the Resort corresponds to your booking. In the event of any changes prior to departure, we reserve the right to change carriers, aircrafts and airport as necessary. Where a flight is described as direct, this means that no change of aircraft is necessary. Stops may be made en route for refuelling or to pick up/set down passengers. We do not however provide details of such stops where applicable.
TAILOR-MADE HOLIDAYS AND UPGRADES
see any discrepancies. Certain electronic tickets may be e-mailed to you within 2 weeks of departure. If your booking is made within 3 weeks of departure, tickets may need to be collected on departure. Important: please contact us on 08453 67 67 67 if your flight documents are not received 7 days before departure.
E-TICKETS AND TICKETLESS
For all scheduled airlines, we must issue Electronic Tickets (E-tickets). Some charter airlines and low-cost carriers operate on Ticketless flights. In these cases, your sales voucher which includes your flight itinerary shall become your ticket confirmation which you need to present at check-in along with your passport. The advantages of e-tickets and Ticketless are as follows: • E-ticket and Ticketless confirmation can be sent to you immediately by e-mail. • You no longer have to wait for tickets to come through the post. • You can check-in with your passport only. • You do not need to worry about losing your tickets.
EXTRA CHARGES
We would be happy to arrange your itinerary with flights and duration of stay tailored to your requirements. We have very good negotiated rates in Premium Economy, Business and First Class cabins to most of our destinations. We can arrange an upgrade for you at a supplement.
Please note that some airlines charge extra for ancillary services such as meals, extra luggage, seats together, priority boarding, extra leg room, sport equipment, etc. and such charge(s) are not included in the flight price. We are happy to check with the relevant airlines for the costs of these charges on request at the time of booking or prior to booking confirmation.
INDEPENDENT TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
SPECIAL REQUESTS
Please note that on selected dates, we are only able to offer Packages with transportation included. If you are arranging your connecting flights to connect with flights arranged by Club Med, you should allow plenty of time in the event of unforeseen delays or late change of schedule, airport or terminal changes on the date of departure. We strongly recommend that your independent travel arrangements are flexible to allow for any changes if necessary. If you have booked your own flights independently, check-in time at the Resort will be 3pm if you arrive on the main day of arrival, or 5pm if you arrive on any other day of the week. In addition, if you are taking a short stay/weekend, the arrival time in the Resort is 5pm. Please note: Club Med will not be held responsible for any consequences or extra costs should there be any delay or cancellation of your flight or other travel arrangements made by you. Check-out time is usually 10am depending on the Resort regardless of your departure time so you will be asked to vacate your room(s) by this time. Day rooms will be on offer but are subject to availability/cost and should be arranged locally with the reception. If you check-in immediately after a night flight this would normally count as one night’s accommodation. You are responsible for your itinerary and no transfers to the Resort are included if you choose to travel independently.
FLIGHTS FROM UK REGIONAL AIRPORTS
As well as flights from London, we can also arrange flights from a range of regional airports throughout the UK. Here is just a selection of the regional airports we offer – Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool John Lennon, Manchester, Newcastle plus many more… For more information and other airports, please enquire.
FLIGHTS FROM PARIS
Flights from Paris, if required, are available to most Club Med destinations. Flight timings will be given to you within 2 weeks prior to departure. Connections to Paris can be arranged, subject to availability once timings from Paris are known. Should this involve transfers between airports and/or overnight in Paris this will have to be arranged, and paid for by you. Flight tickets from Paris to your destination will be handed to you on checking in at the Club Med desk at the Paris airport of departure.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND TRAVEL DETAILS
At the time of booking, you must provide us with full names as they appear on your passport. Upon receipt of full payment, your travel documents and final itinerary shall be sent to you approximately 2-3 weeks before departure. Please check your itinerary as flight schedules and airlines may have changed from details published in the brochure or your earlier booking confirmation. Please ensure that your ticket shows the correct name as written on your passport and that all your flight details are correct. Please contact us immediately if you
Please notify us of any special requests (special meals, baby basinet, wheelchair assistance, sports equipment, special seats, etc.) at the time of booking. Club Med will endeavour to deal with your requests, however, we cannot guarantee that the facilities will be available, therefore we may not be able to confirm your requests prior to departure. We regret we cannot accept any booking conditional to fulfilment of a particular request. Please note that some ’low cost’ carriers do not allocate specific seats for any passengers at check-in and instead choose to adopt a ’free seating’ policy. Meals and drinks may be purchased at your cost onboard the aircraft on most airlines travelling on short and medium-haul flights. Most long-haul flights offer a complimentary meal and drinks. Please check with our Reservations Team upon booking.
INJURY AND RECENT OPERATIONS
Any passengers travelling with an injury or who have had an operation within 6 months before travel must inform us of the extent of such injury or operation upon booking. A full medical clearance must be requested from the passenger’s doctor or physician and their insurance company to confirm that they are fit to fly/travel.
PREGNANCY
Expectant mothers who are more than 33 weeks pregnant on their return date cannot travel on our charter flights and on most scheduled flights. Expectant mothers who are more than 28 weeks pregnant are advised NOT to travel on a Club Med holiday especially if flights are required. A medical certificate showing “Fitness to Fly/Travel” must be obtained within 7 days before travel. Please check with your insurance and airline’s policy for any restrictions.
INFANTS
Infants are classified as under 2 years of age. Infants are not allocated seats on flights and transfers and will need to sit on a parent’s/guardian’s lap. A basinet may be arranged with certain scheduled airlines for smaller infants. This must be requested upon booking and subject to availability, possible supplement and restrictions of the airlines. Basinets are normally available only on long-haul destinations. Should an infant turn 2 years of age during the holiday, then a child price (aged 2-3 years) must be applied. Should you wish to arrange for your infant to have a seat on the flight and transfer, a child price must be applied. Some low-cost carriers do not allow infants to have a seat. Please note that most airlines do not offer any baggage allowance for infants.
PASSPORT AND VISA REQUIREMENTS
For all UK citizens, a valid passport is essential when you travel abroad. A full 10-year passport is required for holidays to all countries featured in this brochure. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date. Make sure that your passport is valid and check if you need a visa for your chosen destination. It is vital that the name given when booking your holiday (printed
85
Travel Information on the ticket and itinerary) is exactly the same as written on your passport. Any child, however old, must have his/her own passport. In the past babies and children could be included on a parent or guardian’s passport. However, the law has now changed and babies and children up to 16 who are not already on a parent’s or guardian’s passport must have their own child passport if they are going to travel abroad. For further information, please refer to p. 88.
BEFORE TRAVELLING TO THE AIRPORT
If you do not have a valid passport, visa or entry permit, you may be refused travel, either by us or by the airline. Please be aware that if this happens, we are unable to assist you in any way. Please ensure that you have all necessary passport, visa and tickets with you before heading to the airport.
AIRPORT CHECK-IN
It is important that you check-in for your flight and get to your gate in good time. Check-in is always a minimum of 2 hours before departure. It is equally important to make sure that you are at the boarding gate no later than the gate closing time as written in your boarding passes or as mentioned at the check-in desk to avoid missing your flight.
LUGGAGE ALLOWANCE
Most carriers allow 1 piece of baggage weighing 20 kilos per passenger (except infants). Baggage allowance may vary between airlines and is subject to change. Full details shall be added into your itinerary. Please note that carriage of sporting goods/equipment may incur an additional charge depending on the airline. Please ask our Reservations Team upon booking for more information. Excess baggage weight will be charged at the airline’s discretion. No flammable and dangerous articles must be carried in the baggage. In the event of damage or lost baggage, please ensure that you request a “Baggage Irregularity Form” from the relevant airline you flew with and make all necessary reports before leaving the airport.
HAND LUGGAGE/CABIN BAGGAGE
For more information visit www.dft.gov.uk. Information can change at any time, therefore we strongly advise you to check with the departure airport or visit the Department of Transport website mentioned, for a full guide to the security requirements when departing from UK airports.
Where flight delays result in unused accommodation or in lost holiday time, no refund will be given as rooms are held, not re-let. Airlines do not usually offer compensation for flight delays, however you may be able to claim for significant delays under your travel insurance policy. Please note: no further compensation will be offered for transport delays experienced for reasons completely beyond our control. If you arrive late at the airport and subsequently miss your flight, you must present yourself at the check-in desk or ticket desk to inform them. They may need to rebook you on another flight which will incur an extra charge. Please note: that if you do not turn up for a booked flight or if you miss your flight, you will be noted down by the airline as a “no-show” and all other future flights you hold in the same booking may be automatically cancelled. If you missed your flight and the airline has put you on another flight, please ask the airline to ensure that they protect any future flights you have on the same booking from cancelling automatically. You can also contact your travel agent or call us on 08453 67 67 67 for assistance. If you have made changes to your travel arrangements directly with the airlines, please contact us to let us know of your new flight information.
TRANSFERS
Groups transfers to and from your Club Med Resort are included with all our flight Packages, unless advised to the contrary at the time of booking. For details of transfer times, please see the relevant Resort pages. Transfer times shown are approximate. Some journey times can vary due to a number of reasons, e.g. weather, road works, traffic, etc.
NOTES
Club Med reserves the right to change or alter flights, flight timings and routes up to the date of departure or to book passengers on a carrier other than the one stipulated.

Terms of Carriage CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT AND OTHER IMPORTANT NOTICES Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure are advised that international treaties known as the Montreal Convention, or its predecessor, the Warsaw Convention, including its amendments (the Warsaw Convention system), may apply to the entire journey, including any portion thereof within a country. For such passengers, the applicable treaty, including special contracts of carriage embodied in any applicable tariffs, governs and may limit the liability of the carrier.
NOTICE OF LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
The Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention system may be applicable to your journey and these Conventions govern and may limit the liability of air carriers for death or bodily injury, for loss of or damage to baggage, and for delay. This information notice summarises the liability rules applied by Community air carriers as required by Community legislation and the Montreal Convention. Where the Montreal Convention applies, the limits of liability are as follows: 1 There are no financial limits in respect of death or bodily injury. For damages up to 113,100 SDRs (approximately £111,793) the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation. Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that it was not negligent or otherwise at fault. If a passenger is killed or injured, the air carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs, within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16,000 SDRs (approximately £15,815). 2 In case of passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to £4,694 SDRs (approximately £4,639). 3 In case of baggage delay, the air carrier is liable for damage unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1,131 SDRs (approximately £1,118). 4 The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to baggage up to 1,131 SDRs (approximately £1,118). In the case of checked baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the case of unchecked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault. 5 A passenger can benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at check-in and by paying a supplementary fee. If the air carrier actually performing the flight is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier. EC Regulation No. 889/2002 requires European Community carriers to apply the provisions of the Montreal Convention limits to all carriage by them of passengers and their baggage by air. Many non-European Community carriers have elected to do so in respect of the carriage of passengers and their baggage. Where the Warsaw Convention system applies, the following limits of liability may apply: 1 16,600 Special Drawing Rights (approximately £16,408) in respect of death or bodily injury if the Hague Protocol to the Convention applies, or 8,300 Special Drawing Rights (approximately £8,204) if only the Warsaw Convention applies. Many carriers have voluntarily waived these limits in their entirety, and US regulations require that, for journeys to, from or with an agreed stopping place in the US, the limit may not be less than US $75,000. 2 17 Special Drawing Rights (approximately £17) per kg for loss of or damage or delay to checked baggage, and 332 Special Drawing Rights (approximately £328) for unchecked baggage. 3 The carrier may also be liable for damage occasioned by delay. Further information may be obtained from the carrier as to the limits applicable to your journey. If your journey involves carriage by different carriers, you should contact each carrier for information on the applicable limits of liability. Regardless of which Convention applies to your journey, you may benefit from a higher limit of liability for loss of, damage or delay to baggage by making at checkin a special declaration of the value of your baggage and paying any supplementary fee that may apply. Alternatively, if the value of your baggage exceeds the applicable limit of liability, you should fully insure it before you travel. Time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived. If the baggage is damaged, delayed, lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as soon as possible. In the case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger must write and complain within seven days, and in the case of delay within 21 days, in both cases from the date on which the baggage was placed at the passenger’s disposal.
NOTICE OF CONTRACT TERMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE 1 Your contract of carriage with the carrier that provides you with carriage by air, whether international, domestic or a domestic portion of an international journey is subject to this notice; to any notice or receipt of the carrier; and to the carrier’s individual terms and conditions (Conditions), related rules, regulations and policies (Regulations) and any applicable tariffs. 2 If your carriage is by more than one carrier, different Conditions, Regulations and any applicable tariffs may apply for each carrier. 3 The Conditions, Regulations and any applicable Tariffs of each carrier are, by this notice, incorporated by reference into and made part of your contract of carriage.
4 The Conditions may include, but are not restricted to: • Conditions and limits on the carrier’s liability for the bodily injury or death of passengers. • Conditions and limits on the carrier’s liability for the loss of, damage to or delay of goods and baggage, including fragile or perishable goods. • Rules for declaring a higher value for baggage and for paying any supplementary fee that may apply. • Application of the carrier’s Conditions and limits of liability to the acts of the carrier’s agents, servants and representatives, including any person providing either equipment or services to the carrier. • Claims restrictions, including time limits by which passengers must file claims or bring actions against the carrier. • Rules about reconfirmations or reservations; check in times; the use, duration and validity of air transportation services; and the carrier’s right to refuse carriage. • Rights of the carrier and limits on the carrier’s liability for delay or failure to perform a service, including schedule changes, substitution of alternative carriers or aircraft and re-routing, and, when required by applicable law, the obligation of the carrier to notify passengers of the identity of the Operating carrier or substituted aircraft. • Rights of the carrier to refuse carriage to passengers who fail to comply with applicable laws or who fail to present all necessary travel documents. 5 You can obtain more information about your contract of carriage, and find out how to request a copy, at places where transportation on the carrier is sold. Many carriers also have this information on their websites. When required by applicable law, you have the right to inspect the full text of your contract of carriage at the carrier’s airport and sales offices, and upon request, to receive a copy by mail or other delivery service from each carrier free of charge. 6 If a carrier sells air transportation services or checks baggage specifying carriage on another carrier, it does so only as agent for the other carrier. 7 Certain governments forbid interchanging on charter flights, this means that you must travel both ways with the same party regardless of how many trips your group has booked. The carrier cannot entertain requests for changes on return flights or be held responsible for passengers either missing flights or wanting to return earlier than planned for any reason whatsoever. You cannot travel if you do not have all required travel documents, such as passport and visa. Governments may require your carrier to provide information on or permit access to passenger data. DENIED BOARDING: Flights may be overbooked, and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight even if you have a confirmed reservation. In most circumstances, if you are denied boarding involuntarily, you are entitled to compensation. When required by applicable law, the carrier must solicit volunteers before anyone is denied boarding involuntarily. Check with your carrier for the complete rules on payment of denied boarding compensation (DBC) and for information on the carrier’s boarding priorities. BAGGAGE: Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles. Carriers may apply special rules for fragile, valuable, or perishable articles. Check with your carrier. Checked Baggage: Carriers may permit a free checked baggage allowance, which is set by the carrier and may differ by class, and/or route. Carriers may apply extra charges for checked baggage in excess of their permitted allowance. Check with your carrier. Cabin (Unchecked) Baggage: Only ONE small item of cabin baggage per passenger will be allowed into the aircraft (subject to space availability) MAXIMUM SIZE: 17” x 11” x 9” (43cm x 28cm x 23cm) MAXIMUM WEIGHT: 11lbs (5kg). It is recommended that cabin baggage be kept to a minimum. Check with your carrier. If more than one carrier is providing the transportation for your journey, each carrier may apply different rules on baggage (both checked and cabin). SPECIAL BAGGAGE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS FOR US TRAVEL: For domestic travel wholly between US points, federal rules require any limit on a carrier’s baggage liability to be at least US$3000.00 per passenger, or the amount currently mandated by 14 FR 254.5. Your carrier has no liability for loss or damage to valuable or fragile items packed in hold baggage however caused. You must not include in Checked Baggage money, jewellery, precious metals, computers, personal electronic devices, negotiable papers, securities or other valuables, business documents, passports and other identification documents or samples. Written confirmation of any baggage irregularities must be obtained from the carrier before leaving the airport. CHECK-IN TIMES: The time shown on the itinerary/receipt is the departure time of the aircraft. Flight departure time is not the same as the time you must check- in or the time you must be available for boarding. Your carrier may refuse you carriage if you are late. Check-in times, as advised by your carrier, are the latest times at which passengers can be accepted for travel; boarding times, as advised by your carrier, are the latest times at which passengers must present themselves for boarding. DANGEROUS GOODS (HAZARDOUS MATERIALS): For safety reasons, dangerous goods must not be packed in checked or cabin (unchecked) baggage except as specifically permitted. Dangerous goods include but are not limited to: compressed gases, corrosives, explosives, flammable liquids and solids, radioactive materials, oxidizing materials, poisons, infectious substances, and briefcases with installed alarm devices. For security reasons, other restrictions may apply. Check with your carrier.

visa information A valid passport is essential for travel. Please check with your destination country’s consulate or embassy for information. Please also check that your passport is valid according to the requirements listed in the table.
TRAVEL ADVICE ON YOUR HOLIDAY DESTINATION The ‘Foreign and Commonwealth Travel Advice Unit’ may issue information about your holiday destination. You are advised to check this information on BBC2 (Ceefax) page 430 onwards or on the Internet under the address http://www.fco.gov.uk/. Alternatively, you can contact the ABTA Information Department on 0901 201 5050 (calls charged at 50 p/minute).
CLUB MED DOCUMENTS Please bring your Club Med sales agreement (holiday invoice) and itinerary with you. You may be asked to produce these two documents during your journey or your stay. If any of the details on the sales agreement sent to you prior to your departure are incorrect, please contact us immediately. This is particularly important if you have booked flights with us as your ticket will only be valid if the name and title featured on it correspond to the name and title on your passport. On some flights, name changes or amendments will not be allowed once the booking is made, or you may have to pay a fee to correct.
PASSPORT AND VISA REQUIREMENTS (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY) Each country has different visa regulations so make sure you check well in advance prior to travelling whether a visa is required. Some countries issue visas upon arrival into the country, which may be subject to certain charges however, others require you to purchase a visa prior to departure. We advise you to check at least 6 weeks before your departure date. Many countries require a Machine Readable Passport (MRP) which must contain a digital photograph. Please refer to page 88 for more information. Important: Passport and visa regulations and requirements may be subject to change at short notice and you are responsible for contacting the appropriate diplomatic or consular authority before finalising travel arrangements to check on requirements for departure/arrival point, transit and stopover points. We accept no liability for clients who have incorrect or insufficient documentation. Holders of non-British passports and passports issued by the Channel Islands or Isle of Man authorities should check current regulations with the relevant Tourist Office or Embassy.
OR 2) A valid passport. AND A valid visa which must be obtained before travel from the US authorities. Note: if you want your child to travel with a Visa Waiver form, they must hold their own Machine Readable Passport or e-passport.
ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR TRAVEL AUTHORISATION TO THE USA – (ESTA) If you are travelling under the Visa Waiver Programme from early 2009 you must also have Travel Authorisation. You can receive Travel Authorisation by completing the online form at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov and a decision will normally be made within seconds. Please note that the Travel Authorisation is now compulsory. The Travel Authorisation is then valid for multiple entries to the US for two years, unless any answers to the YES/NO questions on the form change or a new passport is required. NEW E-passports from 26 October 2006 you must have an e-passport to travel to the US on the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP) if your passport is issued on or after 26 October 2006. An e-passport contains an integrated computer chip that is capable of storing information from the bio data page. E-passports are easily identified as they all have a symbol on the front cover to indicate that the document contains an integrated chip.
ADVANCED PASSENGER INFORMATION (API) All passengers travelling from and into the UK are now required to provide Advanced Passenger Information (API). You must provide us with the following passport information at least 2 weeks before departure. If your booking is within 2 weeks before departure, you must provide this information at the time of booking. • All given surnames as written in your passport (this should be the same as your booking), all given names as written in your passport (this should be the same as your booking), passport number, passport expiry date, passport country of issue, country of citizenship/nationality, date of Birth and gender. If travelling to the USA, it is mandatory that you provide us with the following information: • Country of residence, full address of your first night’s accommodation in the USA and the redress number* (if any). Please be aware that your passport information shall be passed on to the airline you are travelling with who will process the data to Border Control Agencies. Passengers who do not provide this information could be denied boarding at the airport. The 1 August 2008 requirement (which has become mandatory since 12 January 2009) for passengers to obtain authorisation to travel to the USA by the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA) does not replace the need for airlines to transmit Advanced Passenger Information (API). *The redress number is the reference number given to people who have applied to clarify their information through this programme, which is called DHS Travel Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP).
All information given in this brochure and in the table opposite is only intended as a guide and is correct at the time of publication, but may be subject to change during the season. We would remind you that you are personally and solely responsible for ensuring that your travel documents are valid. Please verify any vital holiday requirements with our Reservations Team on 08453 67 67 67 at the time of making your booking. Important: Travelling to and via the USA: When travelling to the USA, you must have the correct passport to travel on the Visa Waiver Programme (VWP), or have obtained the correct visa valid for your stay. From early 2009 all customers travelling under the VWP must also apply for Travel Authorisation. Additionally, you are required to provide information for the US government prior to travel. Visa Waiver Programme: each person wishing to visit the USA must have either: 1a) An e-passport – if your passport is issued after 26 October 2006. OR 1b) A Machine Readable Passport – if your passport is issued after the 26 October 2005. (It must contain a digital photograph). AND A Visa Waiver Form (obtained at the airport on departure).

Health Club Med has implemented a comprehensive and very strict health policy at each of its Resorts. However, we advise that you take some precautions before you depart and for the duration of your stay.
CLUB MED’S SUPREME COMMITMENT TO YOUR HEALTH
TIPS AND ADVICE FOR A TROUBLE-FREE HOLIDAY
A well-managed policy and informed advice Recommendations, prevention and control are the three aims of Club Med with regard to health and hygiene, and we do not compromise on any of them. Club Med has for many years prioritised hygiene, health and safety in its standards of quality in order to ensure better protection of the individual and the community under its responsibility. To this effect, Club Med’s policy, the result of many years of experience in health travel, is based on the information it provides through this Brochure and on preventive measures which include regular and rigorous health and hygiene checks, conducted at all its Resorts. These measures focus on food hygiene, general hygiene and environmental control (prevention of Legionnaire’s disease, control of the water system, airconditioning, drinking and swimming pool water), safety and medical assistance.
To make your holiday as stress-free as possible, both you and your children should carefully follow the set of simple health precautions given below, both before and during your stay. While we do not wish these precautions to dominate your holiday, it is important not to ignore them; each should be given due consideration.
Public health is our priority Club Med is fully aware of the consequences of smoking, nicotine addiction and the related effects on health, and supports anti-smoking initiatives. Consequently, it has banned smoking in all public indoor areas. Sexually transmitted diseases, meanwhile, do not recognise borders and some of them may lead to serious complications. Condoms can be bought at the Club Med Boutique.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Medical Assistance At some Resorts, depending on the local medical services available, a nurse and/or doctor will be on hand to provide you with medical assistance and any care you may require. Unless they are required to give first aid treatment in an emergency, they cannot take the place of a local doctor, who is the only person fully authorised to prescribe medicine and/or administer treatment. Depending on your state of health, Club Med can call upon Europ Assistance for medical assistance, who will decide if and how you should be sent home, should this prove necessary. Should you have an infectious disease, in the interests of both your own protection and everyone else’s, Club Med reserves the right to send you home or, depending on medical advice, at least either hospitalise or isolate you until you have made a full clinical recovery. People of Reduced Mobility If you are travelling by aeroplane, you must inform our partner airlines of any special requirements you may have at least 48 hours prior to departure, so that they can make the necessary arrangements. To find out which of our Resorts have facilities for people of reduced mobility, please consult your travel agent.
90
BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE Your family’s state of health We strongly advise you to consult your doctor and tell them where exactly you intend to travel. Your doctor will be able to tell you whether your planned holiday or travel arrangements are advisable given your current state of health, especially if you are undergoing medical treatment, suffer from a chronic illness, are pregnant, have a very young baby, or are likely to suffer an allergic reaction to certain foodstuffs, insects or insecticides (the latter are regularly sprayed in some of our Resorts, within legal limits). You should also discuss the validity of your vaccinations and those of your children with your doctor. Club Med will not reimburse the cost of any holiday or other extra expense incurred (cancellation, repatriation, hotels, taxis, etc.) if you do not comply with the health regulations applicable to you. Once your doctor has authorised your decision to travel, do not forget to take with you sufficient quantities of any medication that you might be taking, and, if necessary, medication to prevent malaria, or any other necessary prescriptions, bearing in mind the adverse effects that some photosensitive medicines may have. Moreover, if you are planning to practise a sport more intensively than you are accustomed to, please ensure that you train properly beforehand and do not simply assume that you have the necessary level of physical fitness required. Pregnant women Club Med advises pregnant women to avoid making long journeys during the third trimester of their pregnancy. They are also advised not to practice any sports in which they are liable to fall. DURING YOUR FLIGHT To improve your blood circulation on long-haul flights, we advise you to drinks lots of water, frequently walk around the aeroplane, and rotate, flex and extend your ankles while seated. We also recommend that any passengers suffering from vein problems and taking prescription drugs wear class 2 compression socks. YOUR STAY Any sudden change of climate and environment can cause a reaction that may last several days. During this time, reduce physical exertion and try to rest as much as possible.
For more information, visit www.clubmed.co.uk or ask your travel agent
Some rules on basic hygiene Club Med is very careful to ensure that all members of staff at its Resorts adhere to rules on basic hygiene, and we ask you to do the same. Maintaining good physical hygiene is an effective way of preventing a significant number of illnesses and containing any that do arise. By regularly washing your hands with soap, especially before handling food and after going to the toilet, you will significantly reduce your risk of stomach disorders. Food safety precautions Club Med ensures the highest standards of food safety by carrying out health checks at every stage of food preparation at its Resorts. However, any change in eating habits can lead to discomfort and illness, so you should let your system adjust gradually to the local food. In addition, make sure that meat and eggs have been properly cooked before eating them, and ensure that you adapt your intake of liquids (water, soft drinks, tea) to your level of physical activity. When outside our Resorts, especially in countries with poor hygiene standards, be particularly careful when drinking the local water and eating local food. Anyone with a particular food allergy should inform the head chef. Stomach disorders Diarrhoea (gastro-enteritis) is the most common health problem suffered by travellers, and is dependent upon their destination and their ability to adapt to changes in climate, environment and diet (almost 50% of cases occur in countries with poor levels of hygiene). Club Med’s preventive health policy can help to significantly reduce its occurrence, but cannot guarantee to prevent it entirely. Most stomach disorders are often not very serious and clear up after a few days by treating the symptoms and drinking an appropriate amount of water. More specific treatment may be needed if the disorder is accompanied by a high temperature. Your doctor will advise you as to the most effective preventive or curative treatment.
apply high protection filter sun creams or sun blocks and you should also make sure you get plenty to drink. Avoid excessively long exposure to direct sunlight if you are taking any medication which might make skin sensitive to the sun. The environment Our knowledgeable G.O®s are on hand to answer all your questions on the local environment and its flora and fauna, and advise you of any precautions you should take, especially before excursions. The advice they give you must be heeded at all times. We recommend you avoid all direct contact with animals. In tropical regions, it is unwise to walk barefoot in wet terrain or to go swimming in stretches of fresh water. In shallow coral reefs, you are advised to protect your feet by wearing plastic sandals or similar footwear. It should also be noted that some illnesses are not specific to certain holiday destinations and can be contracted anywhere. This is true of seasonal viral infections such as influenza and stomach disorders. Others are specific to the host country and to its particular climate conditions and microbiological environment. While Club Med does all that it can to reduce their impact, it cannot guarantee protection against all viruses. As regards risks that have recently emerged, such as Bird Flu, SARS and Swine Flu, Club Med has taken, and wherever necessary will continue to take, all necessary precautions at the Resorts in the affected regions. For further information To obtain further information, please consult your G.P. or your local health centre or for UK citizens, the Department of Health.
The climate The climate in the mountains requires you to properly protect yourself and your children from the cold as well as from direct sunlight. Make it a rule to wear three layers: – the inner layer: underclothes, such as a long-sleeved T-shirt and long johns worn next to the skin; – the mid layer: a jumper, a fleece or a sweatshirt in order to retain the heat; – the shell layer: a waterproof garment which is comfortable and suitable for outdoor winter sports activities rather than a windcheater which does not allow the body to breathe and rapidly lets in moisture. Wear your sunglasses, gloves and a warm hat at all times during outdoor activities to prevent frostbite, burns and inflammation of the eyes. To reduce the risk of sunstroke, right from initial exposure and throughout your holiday, you should

The following are available at extra cost: • Champagnes, VSOP and XO drinks, bottles, cans (available in some Resorts in drinks machines and/or in the Club Med Boutique), some premium brands, and bottles of wine offered à la carte in some of our restaurants and bars. EXCLUSIVE OFFER in our 5∑ Resorts and our 5∑ Luxury Spaces: champagne(1), served by the glass from 6pm(2), is included in your Package.

THE CLUB MED PASS® CARD The Club Med Pass® payment card gives you the opportunity, in most of our Resorts, to pay for drinks not included in your complementary Bar Drinks & Snacks package (such as champagne, VSOP and XO drinks, à la carte wines and some super-premium brands), together with all the other purchases you make at the Resort’s various sales points.
WEATHER At Club Med, we strive to provide our G.M®s with as much useful information as possible about the weather at each Resort. For more in-depth information, consult the weather pages at www.clubmed.co.uk
VALUABLES During your holiday, you must never leave identification documents, jewellery or other valuables unattended in your room. We cannot be held responsible for any theft of valuables that have not been deposited in the safe in your room or in the Resort’s main safe.
PAYING FOR YOUR RESORT EXPENSES Before leaving the Club Med Resort, G.M®s must settle their account and pay for the purchases they made in the Resort which were charged to their Club Med Pass®. The amount due can be paid either in local currency or by credit/debit card, but not by cheque. In some Resorts, an “Express Departure” service is offered, where G.M®s merely have to fill in a form with their credit/ debit card details, and then put this form, their deposit cards and room keys into an envelope to be dropped off at reception. Club Med guarantees that all adequate security and confidentiality measures are respected in each Resort offering this service. An account statement, the card transaction receipt and the corresponding bill will be sent to G.M®s by post, to the address indicated on the form. Please note: in Club Med tipping simply does not exist.
PETS Club Med regrets that its Resorts are not open to its G.M®s’ pets. Guide dogs for the blind will be admitted, provided that they are accepted for travel by the airline company concerned and that no quarantine period is imposed by the destination country.
MINORS Children under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a responsible adult for the whole duration of their Club Med holiday. We will not book a holiday for minors travelling by themselves. Children travelling with an adult other than their parents/legal guardian will need to provide written authority from their parents/ legal guardian, plus a written acceptance of responsibility from the accompanying adults is required within 14 days of the booking being made. This authorisation should be signed on a ‘Parental Authorisation Form’, available upon request.
EXCURSIONS The cost of excursions must be paid by the G.M® on site at the Club Med Resort in local currency or on your own account. The conditions of organisation, registration, cancellation and modification will be communicated to the G.M®s at the Resort. The excursions organised by an outside provider will remain under the sole responsibility of this provider. Excursions are subject to local requirements and to a minimum number of participants. Children’s acceptance is subject to a minimum age and they remain under the full responsibility of their parents or accompanying adult.
HOLIDAY IN AN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT Club Med, whilst a French company, is today a global organization with guests coming from all over the world. Club Med’s Resorts are staffed with multi-lingual G.O® teams who speak a variety of languages. Having said this, you will find that in some Resorts the predominant language is French. Please ask our Reservations Team for details of our Resorts which are highly recommended by UK customers as they generally have a higher ratio of English speaking staff than the other Resorts.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Some Club Med® services (such as Club Med Passworld® and Juniors’ Club Med®) are only available on certain dates, whether during or outside French school holidays. In exceptional cases, some of our Resorts, during the local school holidays (i.e. the school holidays of the country in which the Resort is based), may offer services that, at any other time of the season, would not be available. To find out the services that will be available in your chosen Resort during your stay, you are advised to consult your travel agent or visit www.clubmed.co.uk. (1)
SMOKING All public indoor areas at all our Resorts and on board the Club Med 2 Yacht are designated no-smoking areas, in accordance with current legislation. For safety reasons, we strongly advise you not to smoke in your room or cabin either.
Club Med reserves the right to refuse to serve alcohol to any G.M®s who appear to be intoxicated or whose state of health renders alcohol consumption inadvisable. The consumption of alcoholic beverages is restricted to G.M®s above the legal age limit, defined according to the legislation of the country of destination. Drinking too much alcohol can endanger your health. (2) Available at the bar, unless otherwise indicated at the Resort.

It is specified that all information given in respect of activities organised by outside providers and booked on site is subject to change; the organization of these activities, together with the consequences of any modification

6.1.2. Major changes (a) If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. When a major change occurs such as the alteration of your outward/ return flights by more than 12 hours and/or change of Resort and/or change of airport (except for a change from one London airport to another; London airports being: Gatwick, Heathrow, City, Luton and Stansted), you will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of an alternative holiday of comparable standard from us if available (we will refund you any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value), or cancelling your booked holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. (b) In all cases, except where the major change arises due to reasons of force majeure, we will pay compensation as follows: • Within 56 to 29 days of the departure date: £20 per person • Within 28 to 15 days of the departure date: £30 per person • Less than 14 days of the departure date: £50 per person 6.2. CANCELLATION BY US We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday. For example, if the minimum number of guests required for a particular holiday is not reached, we may have to cancel it. In this event, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as practicable and you will have the choice of having a refund of all monies paid or accepting an offer of an alternative holiday of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value). This would exclude independent travel arrangements. If it is necessary to cancel your holiday, except where the cancellation arises due to reasons of force majeure, we will pay to you compensation as set out in clause. We will not cancel your holiday within 56 days of your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance of your holiday in accordance with clause 4.
7. PRICE CHANGES Prices are quoted in pounds sterling on the basis of known costs as at 18 April 2011. We reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the holidays shown in our brochure. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed. Whilst we endeavour to ensure that the most up to date and correct prices are shown on our website and in-house Computer Reservation System, there may on occasion be an incorrect price shown, due to a system error. We must reserve the right to cancel the booking and you will be given the choice to amend your booking to an alternative holiday at the correct price or to receive a refund of all monies paid. Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports, and exchange rates mean that the price of your holiday may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your holiday, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment
99
charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your holiday, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (we will refund you any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value) or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid to us if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. 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.
8. FORCE MAJEURE We regret that we cannot accept liability or pay you compensation where the performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by “force majeure”. This means that we will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your holiday in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control.

Otherwise we will not be held responsible for any damages caused to you which would result from the fact that the personal data we collected is out of date. This data may be used for commercial communication purposes, in particular via electronic mail, by the Club Méditerranée Group (i. e. Club Méditerranée S. A. company and its subsidiaries) as well as its official partners. Club Med offers you the possibility of accepting or refusing as soon as you register as a member that your personal data be used for electronic commercial communication purposes, and this in accordance with the option that you will have chosen among the processing choices offered to you via a confirmation email which will be automatically sent to you upon your first registration. Your opposition to this processing will have the effect of depriving you of the information concerning commercial offers from the Club Méditerranée Group, its subsidiaries and/or its official partners. Your opposition to the use of your personal data for commercial communication purposes can also be exercised with hindsight via email by using the link featured on each message sent or by letter sent by registered post to Club Med, Customer Relations Department at the address stated in paragraph 14 below. When you register on one of Club Mediterranée’s websites, the opposition to receiving commercial offers by email can also be exercised directly, by changing your profile or by clicking on an optout link present on any electronic message sent by Club Méditerranée. You should be aware that, for security reasons, CCTV systems may be in operation in some Resorts. The use of these images will be declared to the CNIL (French national data protection agency). During your stay, you or any member of your party may also be photographed (these photographs can be purchased whilst on site) or filmed for entertainment purposes in resort. Any copy or broadcast of your image in resort would be limited. Any film or photograph made will not be broadcasted and/or copied once you have left the resort and will be destroyed like any personal data. If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed under these conditions you should advise us in writing prior to your stay. In accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, you have a right of access and correction of personal information relating to you. Being a strictly personal right, the right of access and correction can only be exercised by its holder who will have to justify of his/ her identity or by his/her guardian if he/she is a minor or a legally incapacitated person. This right can be exercised by sending a letter by registered post to Club Med, Customer Relations Department at the address stated at paragraph 14 below. The right of access to the information collected and conveyed in respect of an insurance declaration can be exercised by contacting Marsh at the following address: Tour Ariane,
La Défense 9, 92088 Paris La Défense Cedex, France. We may have to use and disclose personal information relating to you in the most appropriate way to protect Club Med (and its affiliated companies), its employees, its clientele and/or its property and to enable us to proceed where appropriate with any action or recourse available and/or limit any resulting loss. In this respect, we may have to communicate this information upon request to any appropriate authorities responsible for the implementation of any regulation or rule of law and/or for the suppression of offences of all kinds, so that individuals likely to be involved in reprehensible or illegal activities can be identified.

14. COMPLAINTS AND ARBITRATION If you have a problem during your holiday, you re obliged to inform our local staff immediately who will endeavour to put things right whilst you are on site. If your complaint is not resolved locally, please complete a report form on site (“declaration”) and follow this up by writing to our Customer Relations Department at Club Med, 1st floor Gemini House, 10-18 Putney Hill, London SW15 6AA within 28 days of the completion of your holiday quoting your membership and file numbers. Please keep your letter concise and to the point as this will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed up our response to you. You must communicate any complaint to your local staff without delay and complete a report form whilst on site. If you fail to follow this simple procedure, we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were on site and this may affect your rights under this contract. Complaints involving Club Med’s personal injury or material damage insurance or civil liability will only be accepted insofar as you have obtained a written declaration from the Resort staff before your departure from the Resort or from the carrier if your complaint relates to transportation arrangements organized by Club Med. We are a member of ABTA, membership number V6608. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract. The arbitration scheme is arranged by ABTA and administered independently by IDRS, part of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. It provides for a simple
and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on you in respect of costs. The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. Your request for arbitration must be received by ABTA within twelve months of the date of return from holiday. Outside this time limit, arbitration under the scheme may still be available if we agree, but the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. For injury and illness claims, you can request the ABTA/IDRS Mediation Procedure and we have the option to agree to mediation. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.
15. INSURANCE 15.1. We strongly advise that you purchase travel insurance to cover all activities included in your Club Med holiday. For details of our optional travel insurance cover, please see page 103.

You can benefit from the following insurance guarantees with Generali Assurances 15.2.1. Medical costs If you have an accident during your stay at Club Med®, you will be refunded your medical, surgical and pharmaceutical costs up to the maximum amount of €500. This guarantee can only be used as a complement to the National Health Service or a private insurance company. IMPORTANT: if you are travelling to a European Union country, please make sure that you have a European Health Insurance Card (formerly known as the E111 form) with you as this will entitle you to treatment from the equivalent of the National Health Service in the country you are visiting. 15.2.2.

Any query regarding the cover with Generali should be directed to Marsh, the insurance brokers.
16. RESPONSIBILITY 16.1. We do our best to provide you with photographs and illustrations which should give you an impression of the facilities offered.
These photographs and illustrations aim to give you an idea of the standard of the facilities, but are not contractually binding. 16.2. If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your holiday. However we will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the holiday and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of 2 times the cost of your holiday. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to: (a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your holiday. These terms are incorporated into this contract; and (b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms, or the international conventions, from our offices: Club Med, Gemini House, 10-18 Putney Hill, London SW15 6AA. Tel: 08453 67 67 67. Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/ or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in clause 6. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted from this amount. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Air Transport Users’ Council on 020 7240 6061 www.auc.org.uk.
control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances. 16.5. This brochure is our responsibility, as your tour operator. It is not issued on behalf of, and does not commit the airlines mentioned herein or any airline whose services are used in the course of your holiday. Please note that in accordance with Air Navigation Orders, children must be under 2 years of age on the date of their return flight to qualify for infant status. 16.6. This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions, which are governed by English Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so.
16.3. Facilities organised by outside providers (inside the Resort or outside of it/ e.g. sports activities, excursions…) which are booked and/or paid on site do not form part of your Package holiday provided by us and will remain under the sole responsibility of the outside providers who organize them. The same applies to connections arranged independently as well as any activity delivered by an outside provider. 16.4. If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our
