This exotic blend gives Morocco a truly unique identity with nowhere in the world quite like it.

3. PAYING FOR YOUR HOLIDAY

Any prices shown in our brochure are for guidance only. We adopt a completely fluid method of pricing our holidays (i.e our prices may change second by second to reflect ever changing airfares, hotel rates etc.). Additionally, Special Offers are subject to availability and applicable dates, and are subject to change. You will be advised of the current price of the holiday that you wish to book before your contract is confirmed. When you make a booking, you must pay a non-refundable deposit of £100 per person plus an agreed amount for flight seats purchased at time of booking. An additional non-refundable deposit will be required for a Wedding or Cruise & it may differ for a group booking. The balance of the price of your travel arrangements must be paid at least 10 weeks before your departure date. If you are booking late i.e. within 10 weeks of departure, full payment will be required. If the deposit and/or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements. If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your deposit.

4. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY

You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Written notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent must be received at our offices. Since we incur costs in cancelling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay cancellation charges as follows: Period before departure in which you notify us:

Cancellation

Charge:

More than 70 days 70-57 days 56-29 days 28-15 days 14-8 days 7 days or less

Deposit only 30% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 50% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 70% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 90% of holiday cost or deposit if greater 100% of holiday cost

The above charges may differ for group bookings as well as special promotional offers & you will be advised at time of booking. Note: If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges via your travel insurance company. You can cancel your booking without paying cancellation charges if the performance of your package, or the carriage of passengers to your destination, is significantly affected by unavoidable & extraordinary circumstances. In such circumstances, we will arrange for your booking to be terminated & for you to receive a full refund. We will observe advice provided by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

5. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING

If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, for example your chosen departure date or accommodation, we will do our utmost to make these changes but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing from the person who made the booking or your travel agent.

Note: Certain travel arrangements may not be changeable after a reservation has been made & any alteration request could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. Furthermore If your booking changes because someone in your party cancels, this may increase the overall cost of the holiday as it may be necessary to levy under- occupancy or single room supplements. You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to this booking, by giving us notice in writing as soon as possible & no later than 7 days before departure. Both you & the new traveller are responsible for paying all costs we incur in making the transfer.

If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code & ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.

10. COMPLAINTS

If you have a complaint about any of the services included in your holiday, you must inform our resort representative & the relevant supplier (e.g. your hotelier) without undue delay who will endeavour to put things right. If it is not resolved locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Customer Services Department at customerrelations@cyplon.co.uk giving your booking reference & all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise & to the point. It is strongly recommended that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services in question as well as to our representative without delay & complete a report form whilst in resort. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate & rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort & this may affect your rights under this contract. Please also see clause 10 above on ABTA.

11. ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE

If you’re in difficulty whilst on holiday & ask us to help we will provide appropriate assistance, in particular by providing information on health services, local authorities & consular assistance; & helping you to find alternative arrangements & any necessary phone calls/emails. You must pay any costs we incur, if the difficulty is your fault.

12. PASSPORT, VISA & IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS

Your specific passport & visa requirements, & other immigration requirements are your responsibility & you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.

13. EXCURSIONS

Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour & not with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator.

14. TRAVEL AGENTS

All monies you pay to the travel agent are held by him on behalf & for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times. This is subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail. If we fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by him, is & continues to be held on behalf of & for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us.
