Vapour Trails Direct Terms and Conditions.
This is the user agreement which governs the purchase by you of the services and products we provide. This website is owned and operated by Vapour Trails
Direct Limited ("Vapour Trails", "we", "us"), and our Agreement with you sets out what you are legally entitled to expect from us when you buy our travel services.
Those travel services are as advertised by us but may also have restrictions set out in [All You Need to Know] which should also be read carefully. Because we sell
a wide variety of travel products, you should read [All You Need to Know] and these terms and conditions carefully, before you book, to see how they affect your
specific travel arrangements made by us.
Your Financial Protection
When you buy an ATOL protected air package or flight from Vapour Trails Direct you will receive a confirmation invoice from us (or via our authorised agent
through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s License number 9606. 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 any advanced booking. For further
information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk .
For Package Tours without a flight element, customers monies will be deposited into a “Trust Account”, which will only be released to Vapour Trails Direct, upon
completion of the tour package. Customers monies are held in trust in the unlikely event of insolvency.
Please make sure that you have read and understood the [Further Information] sections on the Website; it is your responsibility to make sure you have done so.
You undertake to us that the details you give to us while using the Website are correct, and in particular that the credit or debit card you are using is your own and
that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the product or service.
If there are any changes to the details supplied to us by you it is your responsibility to inform Vapour Trails via [the Contact Us section of the Website] or by
contacting our Customer Services as soon as possible. We won't send you e-mails which you do not want but we can't guarantee that third parties to whom your
details are sent won't do so.
Our Website will not stop you from making impossible bookings such as two flights to the same place at the same time or a flight to one place and theatre tickets
to another at the same time. If you make that kind of booking we won't give you a refund.
We will do our best to correct errors and omissions as quickly as practicable after being notified of them. However because of the sophisticated technology that is
required in operating Vapour Trails there may be times when obvious errors occur. For example, very occasionally, this may result in a price, product or service or
other detail displayed or presented being incorrect. In this case we reserve the right to cancel that contract, but this of course will be without any liability to you.

Your Travel Booking
You must be 18 years old to book and travel on holidays with us and take up the offers advertised by us if they are still available. If you are under 18 years old an
adult must accompany you on your journey. There may be other restrictions on some offers, but these are explained in the details of those offers. When you ask
for your booking to be confirmed, we will confirm the booking there and then, and set aside your chosen accommodation, holiday or transport for you. Next, we will
send you a Confirmation Invoice within 14 days. We may not be able to confirm some of our ground arrangements straight away (e.g. bespoke accommodation,
tours etc). In these instances we may issue a Confirmation Invoice. However, a contract for arrangements that have not been confirmed on that invoice will only be
made when we have sent you written confirmation that those additional arrangements have been completed. If there is any change to any of the details discussed
at time of booking, before the Confirmation Invoice is issued, we will notify you promptly of any new or changed details, including a change to the total price (if
any). If any detail on the Confirmation Invoice is not correct tell us immediately. If there is an obvious error on the Confirmation Invoice we reserve the right to
correct it as soon as we become aware of it, but we will do this within 7 days of issuing the Confirmation Invoice or, if your departure is within 7 days, no later than
24 hours before you go. If any of these changes are not acceptable then you will be entitled to a full refund.
Your contract will be with us and all prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to
time. Prices can go up or down. We will be able to tell you the up-to-date price of your chosen travel arrangements and of any other services advertised by us
before confirming your booking. We reserve the right to increase the price of your holiday after you have booked but no later than 30 days before the departure
date stipulated and will forward an Amendment Invoice reflecting any changes made.
For all other arrangements, after a Confirmation Invoice has been sent to you, any increase to your holiday price will be as the result of changes in our costs of
supplying your holiday resulting from transportation charges, (fuel, airport charges, scheduled air fares and other transport charges which form part of our contract
with the transport provider), currency fluctuations and government action. An administration charge is included within these amounts. If the increase would be 2%
or less of the holiday price shown on your Confirmation Invoice (excluding insurance premiums and any amendment charges), we will absorb the changes in our
costs described above and will only pass on any increase above that level. If any change in our costs would cause a reduction in your holiday price, we will not
make refunds of amounts less than 2% of your holiday price (calculated as above), but we will refund in full amounts exceeding such 2%, after deducting an
administration charge of £1.
If the increase is more than 10% of the holiday price (calculated as above), then: -
You may cancel your holiday booking within 14 days of the Amendment Invoice date and receive a refund of all monies paid to us except any amendment
charges; we will only consider an appropriate refund of insurance premium paid if you can show us that you are unable to transfer or re-use your policy, and the
increase will be considered a Major Change as described below and, unless you choose to cancel under the provisions mentioned above, you will be entitled to
the alternatives set out below for those circumstances, but in either case you will receive compensation as stated below. The price quoted on the last Amendment
Invoice issued is guaranteed, unless you change your holiday booking. Any increases in our costs which occur after the last Amendment Invoice has been sent will
be borne by us.
Sickness and Disability
(a) Whilst Vapour Trails Limited supports the equal treatment of elderly, infirm, sick or disabled travellers, we are not a specialist disabled holiday provider and
can only use our reasonable endeavours to cater for any special requirements you may have, which must be communicated to us in writing at the time of booking
or complete the relevant section on our booking form. Special facilities can be requested but may not be guaranteed. Sometimes, if it seems that we are unable to
provide our usually high standard of service, we may suggest that a specialist operator is contacted.
(b)
If in the reasonable opinion of Vapour Trails Limited, your chosen holiday is not suitable for your medical condition or disability or you are not travelling with
someone who can provide all the assistance you may reasonably require, we have the right to decline the booking.
(c)
Consistent with our status as a tour operator, Vapour Trails Limited is unable to provide a nurse, carer or provide any kind of medical assistance to you or
anyone in your party. If you require the assistance of a nurse or carer it is imperative that you make your own arrangements to be accompanied by one, which
shall be at your additional expense. If you fail to make such arrangements and you require the assistance of a nurse, carer or any kind of medical assistance, you
agree to fully indemnify (i.e. compensate or reimburse) Vapour Trails Limited for the full cost of providing any such assistance as may be required. Whilst you are
advised to ensure that you take out insurance cover which is adequate to accommodate all medical liabilities you may face, this is your responsibility and your
indemnity to Vapour Trails Limited under this head subsists irrespective of whether insurance cover exists.
d). In relation to additional coach tours or other group activities while in “resort”, Vapour Trails Direct can refuse any person on the tour access to those activities
when there is a possiblity of speading of sickness to other passengers, causing disruption to other passengers or impeding these additional tours and activities in
any way. Vapour Trails can also refuse access to additional tours and activities when it is considered a Heath and Safety risk to individual customers. When
Vapour Trails Direct refuses to take any customers for the reasons mentioned a full refund of the cost of those individual activities will be made, but not of the
overall package price. For example if access to a tour by coach is refused due to sickness, the customer will be refunded only the cost of the individual coach tour.
Special Requests
If you have any special requests, we will endeavour to pass these on to the relevant supplier for you but we cannot guarantee that the supplier will be able to
accommodate your special request. In the event of group travel we will need to know if any person in the group will require specialist services, such as wheelchair
lifts on buses or coaches. Vapour Trails Direct will pass back to the customer any additional costs incurred for providing additional services, which we had not
been informed of prior to taking customer bookings.
Your Holiday
Any visa, passport and inoculation requirements are your responsibility and failure to obtain the relevant documentation is not the responsibility of Vapour Trails.
Please note, some of our Holiday Products are sold "subject to availability" what this means is that we do not confirm your order immediately but we will pass your
details onto our suppliers who will check to see if the Holiday Product is available, if it is they will book it for you, if its not we will revert to you directly. [Please see
the 'More Info' text for each "subject to availability" Holiday Product for more details".]
The vast majority of tickets for Holiday Products are "e-tickets". This means that you will receive a copy of this e-ticket from ourselves, or in the event of
accompanied tours the currier from Vapour trails will have all the tickets with them.
Travel Insurance - to Also include Baggage/Luggage.
It is a requirement of booking that you take out the special insurance that we have arranged, with Global Travel Services Ltd., or alternatively that your arrange a
policy providing comparable or greater cover and also a 24 hour emergency service, details of the insurance levels can be found on your booking form. Should you
decide on an alternative policy, you will have to supply us with details of the name of the insurer and policy number prior too departure. If you fail to take out this
insurance and provide us with the requested details we reserve the right to cancel you holiday. If we do this we will not be liable for any compensation, cancellation
charges, costs, expenses, or losses that you may incur as a result. Travel insurance services are provided by a third party supplier and you will be bound by their
separate Terms and Conditions.
Cancellation:-
We aim to provide your holiday as booked. But if, for example, there are not enough people booked on your holiday, we may cancel it. We reserve the right to
cancel your holiday in any circumstances but if we cancel your holiday you can either have a refund or accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or
closely similar standard and price (if one is available). In either case, we will pay you compensation, using the scale shown (unless we cancel your holiday
because of one of the events listed in the 'Important note - events beyond our control') and we will always refund the difference in price if the replacement holiday
is of a lower standard and price. We will not cancel your holiday less than eight weeks before you go, unless this is the result of one of the events in the 'Important
note - events beyond our control'.
We hope that we will not have to make any change to your holiday but, because our holidays are planned many months in advance, we sometimes do need to
make changes. We reserve the right to do this at any time. We will let you know about any important changes when you book. If you have already booked, we will
let you know as soon as we can, if there is time before your departure. Flight timings shown by us are for guidance only and may change. Your Confirmation
Invoice will show the latest planned timings. Your actual flight timings will be shown on your ticket (including any e ticket itinerary), which you should check
carefully as soon as you receive it.
Occasionally, we have to make major changes to the flight or accommodation making up your holiday with us. If we tell you about any of these changes after we
have confirmed your holiday booking, you may either:
a) accept the new arrangements offered by us; or
b) accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or closely similar standard and price, if one is available; or;
c) cancel your holiday with us and receive a full refund of all monies paid.
Either way, we will pay you compensation, using the Compensation table shown, unless the change is for reasons beyond our control (see the 'Important Note -
events beyond our control') and we will always refund the difference in price if the replacement holiday is of a lower standard and price.
Major changes for which we will always pay compensation, using the scale shown, may include the following changes: a significant change of destination; a
change in accommodation to that of a lower category, a change in the time of your departure or return flight by more than 12 hours, a change of UK departure
airport (excluding changes between London airports) but see also 'Important note - events beyond our control'. These changes are only examples and there may
be other significant changes which constitute major changes. This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights. We will only make one
payment for each full-fare-paying adult in the holiday booking. Any children not paying the full adult fare will receive 50% of these amounts. Children using a free
child place will not receive any standard payment.
Compensation
These scales are based on how many days before your holiday departure we tell you of a major change. See also the 'Important note - events beyond our control'.
Period before departure when a major change is notified Compensation payable per person
More than 56 days 0
55-29 days £10
28-15 days £20
14-8 days £30
7-0 days £40
If the change is not acceptable to you or if any major change indicated above is not acceptable to you, you can cancel your booking. In this case, we will refund
all the money you have paid us and will pay you compensation, as shown below, depending on how many days before your holiday we tell you about the change.
This standard payment will not affect your statutory or other legal rights.
No. of days Amount for each full-fare paying adult
0-7 days £25
8-14 days £20
15-28 days £10
29-56 days £5
More than 56 days £0
Events beyond our control
Means any circumstances which are unusual and/or unforeseeable which are beyond the control of Vapour Trails Limited, the consequence of which could not
have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war; riot; civil strife; hostilities; political unrest;
government action; industrial dispute; natural or other disaster; nuclear incident; terrorist activity; weather conditions; closure of airports; fire; flood; drought; re-
scheduling or cancellation of flights or alteration of the airline or aircraft type by an airline and technical problems with transportation that are outside our control.
"Low Bookings" means circumstances where the number of persons who have booked a Package or Other Holiday Arrangement is less than the minimum
required, in our view, to make it commercially viable;
In February 2005 a new Europe-wide law relating to denied boarding, delays and cancellation of flights came into force. This law grants new rights to passengers
including in certain circumstances the right to cancel their flight and receive reimbursement of the cost of the flight from their airline. Full details of these rights will
be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from affected airlines. However, you should note that reimbursement of the cost of a flight that forms part of
your holiday is the responsibility of your holiday airline and will not automatically entitle you to reimbursement of the cost of your holiday from us.
Our responsibility for your holiday
We will arrange for you to receive the services that make up the holiday that you choose and that we confirm. These services will be provided either directly by us
or through independent suppliers contracted by us. We are responsible for making sure that each part of the holiday you book with us is provided to a reasonable
standard and as was advertised by us (or as changed and accepted by you). If any part of your holiday is not provided as described and this spoils your holiday,
we will pay you appropriate compensation (see the 'Important note - events beyond our control'). Also, if you buy a local excursion or tour through one of our
official representatives, we will pay you reasonable compensation if it is not as advertised in our literature.
Personal Injury
This section covers injury, illness or death while you are using the holiday services that we have arranged for you. We have no direct control over the way our
suppliers provide their services but everyone employed or contracted by us or by our suppliers is expected to carry out their duties properly. If they do not carry out
their duties properly (or at all) and that fault results in your injury, illness or death, we may make a payment to you. We will not make any payment if your injury,
illness or death was caused by an event or circumstances which the person who caused it could not have predicted or avoided even if they had taken all
necessary and due care. We will not make any payment if your illness, injury or death was your own fault. If we do make a payment, it will be similar to one you
would receive under English law in an English court.
Note: We will make such payments for injury, illness or death on the basis that you are expected to accept that:
You must tell us and the supplier involved about your injury or illness while you are in the resort. You should also write to our Customer Services at the address
given in "Contact Us" about your claim within three months of coming home from your holiday to allow us to investigate it properly. Please include a letter about
your injury or illness from your doctor if you can.
You should transfer to us any rights you have against the supplier or any other person.
You should co-operate fully with us if we or our insurers want to enforce those rights.
Any payments we make may be limited in accordance with international conventions.
We ask you to transfer your rights to us so that we can claim back from suppliers any payments we make to you, plus any legal or other costs. We will not make a
profit from this. If we get back from the supplier more than we have paid you plus these costs, we will give the extra money to you.
Your contract
By asking us to confirm your booking, you are accepting that the terms of this Agreement (and the conditions of any contract made with your suppliers) applies to
your booking and your travel arrangements. You also consent to our processing personal information about you and other members of your party (see Data
Protection in All You Need to Know). Your contract with us is subject to the laws and jurisdiction of England and Wales. You may however choose the law and
jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so.
Payment
You will be required to pay a deposit to us for each person when you book unless this is within eight weeks of departure when the full amount for the booking is
payable. The deposit amount will be specified by us when your booking is made. Please note your booking deposit may be increased or there may be a charge
payable for some accommodation, holidays or flight bookings where it is necessary to secure specific facilities with full payment at the time of booking e.g.
weddings, coach touring and specific types of airline tickets. Once confirmed, the booking deposit, additional charges paid and insurance premiums will not be
refunded in the event of cancellation except as required by law.
For a holiday, this is your only commitment until eight weeks before you go. Within two weeks of booking, we will send you a Confirmation Invoice showing how
much you owe us. You must pay the amount on the last Invoice issued by us, at least eight weeks before you go on holiday. If you don't, we reserve the right to
treat your booking as cancelled and to charge you a cancellation charge up to 100% of the total on that last Invoice, in accordance with the scale above.
If payment for your booking is made by credit card a handling fee of 2.0% per transaction is made. No charge is made for payments made by Debit Card.
Booking changes
If you want to change any details of your booking (such as changing to a different hotel or changing your point or date of departure) or to cancel an optional extra
you have booked, we will do our best to help, but please note that we usually treat amendments that would lower the basic price of your holiday as a different
holiday. We charge an 'Amendment Fee' for each detail of the booking which you change. If you make the change more than 56 days before departure , the fee
will be £35 per change per person. If you make the change within 56 days of departure , the amendment fee will be £50 .
The price of your new travel arrangements will be based on the prices that apply on the day you ask for the change. These prices may not be the same as when
you first booked your travel arrangements.
Name change, and or departure details such as date and time changes are not always allowed by airlines and other transport providers whenever they are made.
Whilst we will do our best to change the details of the booking, please bear in mind that most airlines and other transport providers treat name and departure detail
changes as a cancellation and charge accordingly. These charges will be passed on to you. Once tickets have been issued, and sometimes even before they have
been issued, any changes made to the ticket, including names or initials, will result in you having to pay for the cancelled ticket and buy a new ticket at full cost.
If, within 56 days of departure , you want either to change to a different holiday or you wish to change your departure date to a later date, you will have to pay
cancellation charges in accordance with this agreement. If the change means we must send you new tickets, we cannot give you any refund until we have
received all your old travel documents, including tickets.
Some types of accommodation (such as apartments, or hotel rooms with reductions for three adults) are priced according to the number of people staying there. If
your booking changes because someone in your party cancels, we will recalculate your booking cost based on the new number of people going. If fewer people
share the accommodation, then the cost for them may go up. This extra cost is not a cancellation charge, and it is not covered by our recommended Insurance.
If you are prevented from taking the holiday you have booked, you may transfer your booking to another person, provided you meet the following conditions:
You must sign an amendment/cancellation form authorising us to make the transfer;
The person to whom you transfer your holiday booking must comply with all the terms of the existing booking;
That person must sign a holiday booking form accepting the transfer and the terms of Our Agreement;
That person must show us new evidence of their holiday insurance, as your policy cannot be transferred to another person (and the premium cannot be refunded);
We will also charge amendment fees in accordance with this agreement. This will be added to the new Invoice issued to that person;
You cannot transfer a holiday booking within 14 days of departure; and
You will remain responsible for the payment of any balance on that new Invoice should that person fail to pay it.
Your cancellation
If you want to cancel your booking or part of it, the lead name on your booking must advise us in writing at the address given in "Contact Us" . The letter must be
signed by the person who made the booking. To cover the cost of processing your cancellation and to compensate us for the risk that we may not be able to resell
your travel arrangements, we make a cancellation charge on the scale shown below. The person who made the booking is responsible for paying this charge. The
size of the charge depends on when we receive your form or letter - the more notice you give, the less we will charge.
Please note that for certain travel arrangements e.g. coach tours and many scheduled transport providers the cancellation charge may be higher than those
shown. In certain cases a 100% cancellation fee applies as soon as the booking is made and the ticket is issued. Please ask for full details of cancellation charges
at time of booking.
Booking cancellations
If you want to cancel your booking or part of it, please call our After Sales Service team on 0151 448 9726. We will tell you if you need to send us written
confirmation of your cancellation. If so, send your confirmation to After Sales, Vapour Trails, Unit House, Venture Point Business Park, Speke Boulevard, Liverpool
L24 9HZ. The letter must be signed by the person who made the booking. To cover the cost of processing your cancellation and to compensate us for the risk that
we may not be able to resell your travel arrangements, we make a cancellation charge on the scale shown below. The person who made the booking is
responsible for paying this charge. The size of the charge depends on when we receive your form or letter - the more notice you give, the less we will charge.
Cancellation charges
These charges are based on how many days before your booked departure we receive your cancellation notice. These charges are a percentage of the total cost
of your booking, not including your insurance premium.
Period before departure within which written notice of cancellation is received % of total booking price
More than 56 days Loss of deposit*
55-29 days 50%
28-22 days 70%
21-8 days 90%
7-0 days 100%
* Where the standard deposit is increased to secure specific facilities or an additional payment has been made for transport tickets and these are non-refundable
in whole or in part, then the scale of charges shown will be calculated based on a % of the cost of all other arrangements and the non-refundable charges will be
added to that cancellation charge to give the total charge.
Conduct
(a)
Whilst flying, you are reminded that Captains of aircraft have absolute authority over the aircraft and its passengers whilst boarding or in flight. The Captain
or other authorised representative of an airline can refuse to carry anyone, if they are unruly or are otherwise unfit to travel or are a danger to the flight or other
passengers. If you are refused carriage in these circumstances your holiday will terminate immediately as will the contract between you and Vapour Trails Limited
which shall have no further responsibility or liability to you.
(b)
When you book a Holiday with Vapour Trails Limited you accept responsibility for the proper conduct for yourself and your party whilst on holiday. Vapour
Trails Limited reserves the right in its reasonable discretion to terminate your holiday or that of any member of your party due to misconduct, and Vapour Trails
Limited will have no further responsibility or liability to you. If your actions or those of any member of your party cause damage or incur excess cleaning fees either
to the accommodation in which you are staying or to any form of transport to or from such accommodation, or cause delay or diversion to any flight or other means
of transportation, you agree to fully indemnify (i.e. compensate or reimburse) Vapour Trails Limited against any claim (including legal costs) made against it by or
on behalf of the owners of such accommodation or the operator of such flights or other means of transportation.
(c)
If you or those in your party behave in an unruly, disruptive or disorderly manner through alcohol or other substance abuse, it is the policy of Vapour Trails
to notify the local police at your destination who shall act in accordance with local laws, and Vapour Trails Limited shall have no responsibility or liability to you in
respect of the consequences of any unruly conduct.
(d)
For those who participate in sports, water sports and winter sports whilst on holiday that have been organised and arranged completely independently of
Vapour Trails Limited, it should be understood that participation is at the individual's own risk and it is your own responsibility to obtain the relevant insurance.
(e)
Our responsibilities extend equally to all those travelling with us. Where, for example, a minority of holidaymakers whose absence unreasonably
inconveniences their fellow travellers, resulting in unreasonable delays to a coach departure, it is our policy to act in the best interests of the majority, which may
entail leaving latecomers behind, who shall then become responsible and liable for their own separate travel arrangements and any associated costs.
(f)
As you may expect, the hotels we select generally serve local cuisine rather than typically English food, which may not be available. Where meals are
served, this is for consumption there and then, and food may not be removed from hotel restaurants for later consumption.
(g)
Personal items left or lost, whether on the aircraft, coach or in the hotel, are the owner's sole responsibility. Where theft from the hotel is suspected, this is a
matter between the owner, the local police and the hotel, airline or coach operator, and Vapour Trails Limited shall have no responsibility or liability in respect of
any theft.
Accommodation
Your accommodation Prices stated are on per room, per night, weekly or fortnightly basis, depending upon the package, and include VAT unless otherwise stated.
Please be aware that the hotel room photos are only a depiction of the type of rooms on offer and may not represent the actual room described. Unless otherwise
stated, breakfast, lunch and dinner are not included. Star ratings may differ according to the country where the hotel is located and are out of the control of Vapour
Trails. Therefore Vapour Trails cannot be held responsible for any misconceptions relating to star ratings.
The accommodation we arrange for you must only be used by those people named on your Confirmation Invoice (or on any Amendment Invoice issued). You are
not allowed to share the accommodation or let anyone else stay there. You are responsible for the cost of any damage caused to your accommodation or its
contents during your stay, except damage caused by persons not known to you. These charges must be met by you and may have to be paid locally.
Conditions of your ticket
When you travel by air or by sea, your journey may be subject to certain international conventions such as the Warsaw Convention, Montreal Convention or
Athens Convention. You agree that the transport company's own 'Conditions of Carriage' will apply to you on that journey. When arranging this transportation for
you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those 'Conditions of Carriage'. You acknowledge that all of these
terms and conditions form part of your contract with us as well as with the transport company. You can ask us to provide you with a copy of any of the conditions
applicable to your journey.
