This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions, which are governed by English Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts.

2. YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION

When you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package/or flights from Nottingham Travel you will receive a Confirmation Invoice from us confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser's License number 9931. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. The price of our air holiday packages includes the amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices.

3. BOOKING MADE ONLINE

When you book online, you must provide us with all information which we require. You must also ensure that the credit or debit card you are using is your own (or, subject to our agreement, if it is a third party's you have their express authorisation, to use their credit or debit card) and that sufficient funds are available to cover the cost of the arrangements which you book with us. When a booking is made online, we will email your booking confirmation and will hold your payment. Your payment will be verified against your booking, card holder details and if we are unable to issue your ticket due to fare or tax increases by the airline or we are not satisfied with the payment, we will contact you and if you are not satisfied we will refund you the full amount paid within 48 hours without any deduction. WE WILL NEITHER GIVE YOU ANY COMPENSATION NOR WILL WE PAY YOU ANY EXTRA CHARGES IF YOU PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS FROM ELSEWHERE. Once your payment is accepted and your ticket is issued only then does the contract come into existence and we will email you a confirmation invoice with electronic ticket receipt.

4. IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE YOUR BOOKING

If you wish to change any item - other than increasing the number of persons travelling in your party - and providing we can accommodate the change, you will have to pay an amendment fee per person. These fees can vary greatly and will be advised at the time changes are made. All changes must be confirmed to us in writing. Please be aware that some travel arrangements cannot be changed once a reservation has been processed and therefore amendment charges could be as great as the total cost of your holiday. Certain travel arrangements (e.g. restricted fare tickets) cannot be changed or cancelled after a reservation has been made and any alteration will incur a 100% cancellation charge.

5. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY

Should you or any member of your party be forced to cancel your holiday prior to departure, we must be notified in writing by the person who made the booking and who is therefore responsible for the payment of the cancellation charges CANCELLATION AFTER TICKET ISSUE: will result in loss of 100% of total cost of all travel arrangements in most cases. Please consult your reservation adviser. CHARTER FLIGHTS carry a 100% cancellation fee both before and after ticket issue.

6. IF WE CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY

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 of comparable standard from us if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value and will ask you to pay the increase in cost if the arrangements are of a higher standard than booked), or cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. These options don’t apply for minor changes. Examples of minor changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same standard or higher standard, changes to airline carrier We will not cancel your travel arrangements less than two weeks before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. If your holiday is cancelled you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available (we will refund any price difference if the alternative is of a lower value and will ask you to pay the increase in cost if the arrangements are of a higher standard than booked). Force Majeure: We will not pay you compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. These can include, for example, war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity and its consequences, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, epidemics and pandemics, unavoidable technical problems with transport.

7. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT

If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant supplier - your hotelier and local representative immediately who will endeavour to put things right. You can also contact us here in the UK and we will try to resolve any issued on your behalf. If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction locally, please follow this up within 28 days of your return home by writing to our Customer Services Department at the address on your confirmation invoice, giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. It is imperative that you communicate any complaint to the supplier of the services and keep records of any personal dealing with this whilst in resort. If you fail to follow this simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and this may affect your rights under this contract.

8. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

If the contract, we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel arrangements. However we will not be liable where any failure in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness, shall be limited to a maximum of the total cost of your travel arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/or in an identical manner to:

The contractual terms of the companies that provide the transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are incorporated into this contract.
Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions.

Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details will be publicised at EU airports and available from airlines. However, reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in clause 7. If any payments to you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will be deducted.

NB this clause does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter into for excursions or activities whilst on holiday.

We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier can do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).

If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.

13. WEBSITE CONTENT
