Go Fishing Worldwide - Terms and Conditions

Your Commitment To Us 

PAYING FOR YOUR HOLIDAY 

In order to confirm your chosen arrangements, usually a deposit of 20% of the total holiday cost (minimum £300), or full payment if booking within 8 weeks of departure (or as otherwise advised) must be paid at the time of booking.  In order to secure particular flights, we may require a higher deposit than normal (to include the full cost of the flight element) to be paid at the time of booking.  If this is the case, we will advise you of this before you confirm your booking. 

The balance of the holiday cost must be received by us not less than 2 months prior to departure. This date will be shown on the confirmation invoice. 

If we do not receive all payments due (including any surcharge where applicable) in full and on time, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, we will be entitled to keep all deposits paid.

CONSUMER PROTECTION 

The air holidays and flights in this brochure are ATOL protected, since we hold an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence granted by the Civil Aviation Authority.  Our ATOL number is 2966.  In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad, or will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advanced booking including a flight.  For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR HOLIDAY BOOKING 

Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed holiday, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible.  If we are notified up to 2 months prior to departure of any changes you wish to make, we will endeavour to assist, however we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet any such requests.  Where we can, an amendment fee of £50 per person/per booking will be payable together with any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers.  For flight inclusive bookings, you must pay the charges levied by the airline concerned.  As most airlines do not permit name changes for any reason, these charges are likely to be the full cost of the flight. 

If you want to make any changes within 2 months of your departure date then these will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and cancellation charges will apply. 

CANCELLING YOUR HOLIDAY 

If you or anyone on your holiday booking decides to cancel the holiday we must be immediately notified of the decision in writing.  The cancellation will take effect from the day the written confirmation is received.  The following scale of charges will be payable depending on when the notification is received. 

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE OUT FULL INSURANCE 

We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential.  Details of the policy we offer are shown separately.  These premiums must be paid as soon as possible as cover will not be effective until all applicable premiums are received in full. In the event of cancellation, the premium is not refundable. 

Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday.  It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs. We do not check alternative insurance policies. 

TRANSFERRING OF BOOKINGS 

If you are unable to travel, in certain circumstances which we consider reasonable, we may allow you to transfer your booking to another party.  Where a transfer to a person of your choice can be made, all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers as
a result, together with an amendment fee (£50 outside of 2 months prior to departure and £100 within 2 months of departure) must be paid, before the transfer can be effected.  For flight inclusive bookings, you must pay the charges levied by the airline concerned.  As most airlines do not permit name changes after tickets have been issued for any reason, these charges are likely to be the full cost of the flight.

IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT 

In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your holiday whilst away, you must immediately inform the supplier of the service(s) in question.  Until we know about a problem or complaint, we cannot begin to resolve it.  Most problems can be resolved quickly and in resort.  If you remain dissatisfied, however, you must write to us within 28 days of your return to the UK giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint.  Only the party leader should write to us.  For all complaints and claims which do not involve death, personal injury or illness, we regret we cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause.

Our Commitment To You 

PROVIDING YOUR HOLIDAY 

Your contract is with Go Fishing Worldwide.  We will arrange to provide you with the various services which form part of the holiday you book with us. 

BROCHURE/WEB SITE ACCURACY 

The information in our brochure/web site is based on our own visits and/or on information supplied to us by our airlines and hotel/resort suppliers, and has been checked to ensure that it is accurate at the time of going to print.  However, because we do not own or control the airlines, hotels and ground operations, changes can and do occur from time to time, and may be made without any advance notification from our suppliers.  Where we have been notified of a change we will advise you before we accept your booking or, if after, as soon as possible before departure.  The availability of some facilities and amenities including restaurants, water sports and other activities may be affected by local conditions, such as inclement weather, public holidays or low occupancy.

THE COST OF YOUR HOLIDAY

All prices quoted on our website or in our brochure are calculated on the following basis:

We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your holiday is confirmed.  We will advise you of any error of which we are aware and of the then applicable price at the time of booking. 

Once the price of your chosen holiday has been confirmed at the time of booking, we will only increase it in the following circumstances by way of a surcharge.  A surcharge will be payable, subject to the conditions set out in this clause: if transportation costs (e.g. fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline surcharges which are part of the contract between airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator) or dues, taxes or fees payable for services such as landing taxes at airports or ports increase, or if Government taxes or levies increase, or our costs increase as a result of any changes in the exchange rates which have been used to calculate the cost of your holiday.

IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY BEFORE YOUR DEPARTURE 

We start planning the holidays we offer many months in advance.  Occasionally, we have to make changes to, and correct errors, in our brochure both before and after bookings have been confirmed. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid making any changes or cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so.

Most of these changes are minor. However, if we consider them a MAJOR CHANGE we will endeavour to advise you or your Travel Agent before you depart.  We consider a MAJOR CHANGE to be one where there has been a significant change of resort, a change of accommodation to that of a lower category and/or price, a change of flight time of more than 12 hours, and a change of departure airport (except between London airports). In the case of your being advised of a MAJOR CHANGE before you depart we will provide you with 3 alternatives: 

1. Accept the alternative offered, together with compensation that may apply on the scale shown below (Provided full payment has been received by us). 
2. Purchase another available holiday from us at the brochure price, again compensation on the scale shown below will also apply. (Provided full payment has been received by us). 
3. Cancel your holiday, in which case a full refund of all monies paid will be made, though no compensation will be payable. 

Compensation per person:

Compensation will not be payable, and no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted, where we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care.  No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be available, if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time), or if the change made is a minor one.

FORCE MAJEURE

We cannot accept liability or pay compensation where "major" changes, cancellation or failure to perform any part of the contract is as a result of 'force majeure'.  This refers to any circumstances that are beyond our or our suppliers control and which we could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid.  Such events include war, threat of war, terrorist activity, threat of terrorist activity, riot, civil disobedience or strife, natural or industrial disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, flooding and all similar events outside of our control.  Advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth office not to enter or remain in a particular country or region will generally be regarded as 'force majeure'.

IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION WHILST IN RESORT 

We do not control the day to day management of your accommodation, and it is possible that we may be advised that the reserved accommodation is not available when you arrive at our resort.  If this happens, we will endeavour to provide accommodation of at least the same standard in the same area.  If accommodation of a lower standard is provided, we will refund the difference of the brochure price between the accommodation booked and that available. 

IF WE CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY 

We reserve the right to cancel your holiday for any reason.  However we will not cancel your holiday within 2 months of departure unless it is for a reason outside our control (see FORCE MAJUEURE).  If we have to cancel your holiday we will offer you either: 

1. An alternative holiday of comparable type, though if the alternative offered is at additional cost, the difference will be payable by you.
2. A full refund of all monies paid. 

The above offers will not apply where the cancellation by us arises out of non-payment or late payment on any part of the cost of your holiday, or for alterations requested by you within 2 months of departure, when cancellation charges will apply.

Go Fishing Worldwide is fully bonded with the Civil Aviation Authority and has an ATOL Licence No. 2966.
