CONDITIONS OF BOOKING

All bookings are subject to these Terms which you will be legally and contractually bound to when you enter into a business relationship with us and tick the appropriate boxes set out within. Credit card details should only be submitted by the credit card account holder. If details are submitted by any person other than the credit card account holder, then that person acknowledges that they are representing that they hold the authority of the credit card account holder to submit these credit card details. Criminal or civil liability may attach to a person who submits credit card details without authority.

In relation to package holidays and Design Your Own Package Holidays (“DYO”), when you purchase a pre-packaged holiday provided by a third party supplier, you must note that, in addition to these Terms, you will be subject to the terms and conditions of the third party supplier also.

Therefore the Company acts as agent for such third party suppliers and you will be contractually and legally bound to the particular terms and conditions of that supplier along with the Company’s Terms.

BOOKING & PAYMENT

Our deposit charge is €200 per person. When you have paid your deposit and been issued with a Booking Reference number, you will be advised of the date on which your balance is due. The balance is payable 10 weeks before departure. Failure to pay the balance on or before the due date will result in forfeiture of deposit and cancellation charges. Please see Cancellation of Booking Terms below. For late bookings, the total amount is due at the time of booking and this should be clarified at the time of booking and full details will be provided by us to you at time of booking. For credit card bookings made within 10 weeks of departure, the total amount will be debited from your card at the time of booking. You should note that some banks impose a restriction on the amount that may be deducted from a debit card in any 24 hour period, so your balance may be taken over the course of a number of payments. Once you confirm the booking, you are committed to the flight costs including any checked-in bags booked, even if that amount is greater than the deposit.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE CHANGE YOUR BOOKING?

Changes can occur at any time and in circumstances which are beyond our control. Naturally, every effort will be made to maintain all original booking details, but sometimes we are forced to make changes for reasons outside of our control and / or jurisdiction.

Our accommodation providers have the right to change your accommodation to an alternative within the same resort but of at least similar standard to that which you booked. In the unlikely event that an accommodation provider has to offer alternative accommodation of an inferior standard, then the difference in price will be recompensed. If the accommodation provider is unable to provide an alternative that is suitable or acceptable to you, then the Company reserves the right to cancel your booking and we will email you accordingly.

Our resort transfer providers have the right to change the type of vehicle used in conveying you from the airport to your accommodation on arrival / from your resort accommodation to the airport for your return flight and, providing the alternative offered is a vehicle that is roadworthy, then no compensation shall be due from the transfer to you.

If a particular price detail in your invoice is incorrect, we reserve the right to cancel the booking. If we cancel your contract, we will mail you accordingly and refund any monies deducted from your credit card as soon as reasonably possible. By booking with us, you agree that you will not hold us liable for any disappointment caused as a result and no compensation shall be due to you other than that due under Irish law. Please note that you will not be entitled to compensation due to the holiday being cancelled by force majeure i.e. due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our and / or third party’s control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised.
