The tours featured in this brochure are operated by JJ and KJ Rowley trading as R&T Tours of 29 Saffron Court, Southfields Business Park, Laindon,Essex, SS15 6SS. Your tour is ATOL protected as we hold an air travel organisers licence. ATOL Member no. 5873 - R&T Tours are members of ATOL. Your Financial Protection - When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. HOW TO BOOK - In order to avoid disappointment, we recommend you telephone our office on 01268 564222 to check availability and make a provisional booking. When you have made a provisional booking over the telephone, you will be asked to send us a completed R&T Tours booking form from the centre of our brochure and A non-refundable deposit of £30 per person for UK bookings, £40 per person for Continental bookings and £120 per person in respect of flights. Your signature on the booking form confirms your acceptance of the Terms and Conditions for and on behalf of all the members of your party and the person who signs the booking form accepts responsibility for payment for all the persons in the group and is responsible for keeping all party members informed as to booking details. On receipt of your deposit, we will issue a confirmation invoice and a contract will then exist between us. Payment of a deposit to R & T Tours commits you to R & T Tours current Terms and Conditions. DEPOSIT AGAINST DAMAGE - At least 2 weeks prior to departure we require each club to secure an amount of £250 via a nominated Credit Card as a deposit against damage caused by any member of your party during the tour. The nominated Credit Card will only be debited (up to a limit of £250 or £500 for U15’s, U16’s teams) in the event of damage or loss being reported and substantiated to us by the holiday park or hotel concerned within 3 weeks of your return. PAYMENT - The balance of the holiday price must be paid no later than eight weeks prior to the departure date for all tours. All bookings made within eight weeks of departure must be paid in full at the time of booking. If you do not pay the full cost within eight weeks of the departure date we reserve the right to treat your booking as a cancellation and the cancellation charges below will apply. On receipt of the full balance from you, we will send you your itinerary and details of your match fixtures. PRICE - We reserve the right to notify you of any increase in the brochure or advertised price before accepting your booking. After the confirmation invoice has been issued the price of your holiday is subject to the possibility of surcharges in limited circumstances. A surcharge will only be levied for variations in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, increases in published air fares, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes at airports, the exchange rate applied to the particular package or if the UK or Overseas Government or Regulatory Body introduce or increase taxes. Even then, the company will absorb an amount equal to 2% of your holiday price (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges) before passing on any surcharge to you. Only amounts in excess of this 2% will be surcharged. Surcharges will be notified by a revised confirmation invoice which will be sent to you. If the surcharge would increase the total holiday price by 10% or more, you may cancel your booking within 14 days of the date of issue of the revised invoice and obtain a full refund of all payments made, except for any premium paid to us for holiday insurance and amendment charges. Should the above mentioned price variations be downward then the price of your holiday will be accordingly reduced and any refund due paid to you. Within 30 days of your departure date the price of your holiday will not be subject to any surcharges at all. VARIATION & CANCELLATION BY YOU - We will make every effort to assist you if you wish to alter your arrangements. Requests for an amendment must be made in writing via our website or by post. You may have to pay an amendment charge of £50 per booking which may be charged whether or not we succeed in making your requested amendment. If the change to your booking results in the tour price being increased, you are responsible for paying the additional amount due and where you request that the number in your party be reduced, the remaining party members may have to pay additional charges such as room supplements, if applicable.All cancellations must be advised by you in writing, and signed by the signatory of the booking form. Cancellations are effective on the day they are received by us. The following cancellation charges will be payable by you, depending upon the number of days prior to departure we receive your notice of cancellation. Days prior to departure date More than 56 days 36-56 days 35 days or less
Percentage of cancellation charges Deposit only 50% of tour cost 100% of tour cost
Please note: For tours cancelled more than 56 days prior to departure, your full deposit will be charged, regardless of the actual amount paid. (Insurance premiums paid are not refundable but if your cancellation falls within the provisions of your travel insurance policy you may be able to make a claim). VARIATION BY US - We are occasionally forced to make changes to your tour and reserve the right to do so. Most changes will be minor. A significant change is one which materially alters your tour and would include, for example, a change of pick-up point, departure date or quality of accommodation. If a significant change is to be made, we will endeavour to inform you as soon as is reasonably practicable if there is time before your departure. In the event of a significant change occurring within four weeks of your departure date, we will, if possible, offer alternative arrangements or, if these are not acceptable to you or your party, make a full refund to you. If you cancel and receive a full refund following a significant alteration made for any reason other than force majeure defined below, you will receive the following compensation calculated according to the number of days prior to departure you were notified of the change. Days prior to Departure Date the Notification of Change was sent More than 42 days 29-42 days prior 15-28 days prior 0-14 days prior

If the standard of accommodation is lower then the accommodation originally booked, we will refund the difference in the brochure price. If the standard of accommodation is higher, you must pay the difference. We retain absolute discretion to re-arrange match fixtures, tournament formats & football venues. In the unlikely event that due to circumstances beyond our control your teams play teams of a different age group and standard, we are not responsible. If after departure we are unable to provide a significant proportion of the services we have agreed to provide as part of your tour, we will do our very best to make suitable alternative arrangements. If we cannot do so, or you refuse to accept these for good reasons, we will arrange to fly you back to your UK departure airport (if your tour included flights) or to transport you to the point where our contract of services commenced as soon as we reasonably can.

R&T Tours do not allow pets at any of our UK tournaments. Although individual parks may allow private owners and other holiday makers to have pets on site, we as a company do not feel that it is a safe environment for young children if there are potentially a large number of animals at the park. It is also difficult to administer taking pets into our holiday parks as only a small number of units are considered ‘pet units’. We also do not allow dogs at the football grounds.
