TERMS & CONDITIONS

Your contract is with Trevor and Valerie King. Trading as Kings Angling Holidays a member of ABTA.
1. Holiday contract
When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions.  A contract will exist as soon as we issue our confirmation invoice. This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions which are governed by English Law and we both agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the English Courts at all times.  If you had not seen these terms and conditions when you made your booking and you are not happy to proceed with the booking now that you have seen them please return all documentation to us within 7 days of receiving these booking conditions.  Your booking will be cancelled and your monies will be returned in full, provided you have commenced with your travel.
2. Your Financial Protection
We are a member of ABTA No. W082X (holding ATOL No. 3241 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority), which provides for your protection in the event of our insolvency.
Non-air travel would not be covered under our ATOL Licence, but would be covered by our ABTA Membership.
3. Your Holiday Price
When you make your booking you must pay a deposit of £30 per person (£80 per person for Fly/Drive holidays or the flight price, which ever is the greater amount).  The balance of the price of your holiday must be paid at least 10 weeks before your departure date.  If the deposit and/ or balance is not paid in time, we shall cancel your travel arrangements.  If you book your holiday within 10 weeks of your departure date, you must pay the whole cost when you book.  If the balance is not paid in time we shall retain your deposit and apply the cancellation charges below:
Cancellation within 42 days of departure will incur the following scale of charges;
More than 42 days Deposit only
29-42 days 30%
15-28 days 45%
1-14 days 100%
Cruiser Hire and Self-Catering Holidays:
Some companies may require an additional cancellation deposit.  You will be notified at the time of booking and this will not be refundable in the event of cancellation.
All holidays are guaranteed against currency surcharges.  No alterations to your holiday price will be made due to currency fluctuation once a confirmation invoice has been issued.  We reserve the right to pass on any increases due to Government action, i.e. increases in VAT or any other Government imposed increases.
Even in this case we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements which excludes insurance premiums and any other amendment charges.  Only amounts in excess of this 2% will be surcharges, but where a surcharge is payable there will be an administration charge of £1 per person together with an amount to cover agents' commission.  If this means paying more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you may cancel your travel arrangements and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any premium paid to us for holiday insurance and any amendment charges.  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 confirmation invoice.

4. 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 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.  You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £5 per person named on the booking form and any further cost we incur in making this alternation.  You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that the changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible.  PLEASE NOTE that certain travel arrangements, (e.g. Apex Tickets) cannot be changed after a reservation has been made and any alternation request will incur a 100% cancellation charge.

5. 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 signed the Booking Form must be received at our Office.  Since we incur administrative costs in canceling your travel arrangements, you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges up to the maximum shown on Clause 3 above.
Note: If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.

6. If we change or Cancel Your Holiday
 
It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your travel arrangements, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance.  Occasionally, we may have to make changes and we reserve the right to do so at any time.  Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you of these at the earliest possible date.  We also reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your travel arrangements.  For example, if the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached, we may have to cancel it.  However, we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 6 weeks before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance.  If we are unable to provide the booked travel arrangements, you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangement of comparable standard from us, if available.  if it is necessary to cancel your travel arrangements, we will pay to you compensation as set out in this clause.  Please note that carriers such as Ferries and Airlines used in this Brochure may be subject to change.  Such a change is deemed to be a minor change.  Other examples of minor changes include alternation of your outward/return journeys by less than 12 hours, changes of ferry/aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard.
 If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure.  You will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements from us if available or canceling your booked holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid.  in due to reasons of force majeur, we will pay compensation as detailed below.

Period before departure within which a major change is notified to you or your travel agent Compensation per person
More than 30 days NONE
15-29 days £10
1 to 14 days £20

Force Majeure: This means that we will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangement sin any way because of war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or, nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstance that may amount to force majeure.
7. If You Have a Complaint
