Complaints
9.
If you are unhappy with the accommodation provided you should make your
dissatisfaction known at the property (or local agent) and, if possible, try
to get them to resolve it. If you are unable to resolve the matter yourself
and it is within our office hours, you should telephone us as soon as
possible as we may be able to assist. If the matter remains unresolved you
should write directly to the accommodation provider. Since we act only as
booking agents we are unable to enter into any correspondence with you
unless the problem arose as a direct result of an error from our part.
Information and Price Accuracy
10.
A great deal of work goes into trying to ensure the accuracy of the
information and prices in this website. However, it is possible that a
few mistakes will have slipped through the net. Also, the accommodation
providers may make changes which they may not have communicated to us. If
we discover a mistake or need to make a change,
clients who have booked and are yet
to travel will be informed and given the option to change to another
property or cancel without charge. If we discover a pricing error you will
be informed at the time of booking, before we confirm your reservation.
The Price You Pay
11.
We reserve the right to change the price of your accommodation
and any other services provided if the costs to us change by more
than 3%.
Any increases will be limited to the additional costs we
incur and in any case will not be passed on to you within 30
days of the first day booked with us. If the increase is more
than 10% you have the right to cancel and obtain a full refund.
Jurisdiction
12. These conditions are subject to English Law and the English Courts shall have sole jurisdiction.
