health conditions
The Flexiski standard travel insurance operates on the basis that your are
healthy, fit to travel and to undertake the trip, and that you are not
travelling against medical advice or with the intention of obtaining medical
treatment abroad. Unless you declare to us, you will be held to warrant
that the above is true both at the time of booking the trip and at the time
you commence the trip.
No claim arising directly or indirectly from a pre-existing medical
condition affecting you will be covered unless;
• You have declared that condition to the Medical Screening Helpline; and
• You have declared any changes in Your health or prescribed
medication; and
• The Medical Screening Helpline have accepted that condition
for insurance
in writing
Each Insured person who has a Pre-existing Medical Condition must
make a Medical Health Declaration before each Period of Insurance and,
if there are any changes in Your health or prescribed medication prior to
the commencement of the period of insurance or departing on any trip.
(Failure to declare any Pre-Existing Medical Condition that is relevant to
the insurance may invalidate the policy).
The Medical Screening Helpline may require You to obtain a medical
report from your General Practitioner or Consultant in order to assess
whether cover applies. Any costs incurred in obtaining this medical report
shall be borne by You.
Based on the Medical Screening Helpline’s assessment of the medical
information supplied to them, they will decide whether or not the person is
suitable for insurance, or if certain exclusions or restrictions should be
imposed. If the Medical Screening Helpline offers cover, it is subject to
written confirmation by them.
To declare a Pre-existing Medical condition or a change in Your state of
health or prescribed medication, You should contact the Medical
Screening Helpline during office hours on 0870 770 3918.
This policy will NOT cover any claims under Section 1 (Cancellation,
Curtailment or Trip Interruption) arising directly or indirectly from a PreExisting Medical Condition, known to You prior to the commencement of
the Period of Insurance, affecting any Close Relative, travelling companion
who is not insured under this policy or person with whom You intend to
stay whilst on Your Trip:
• for which they have required surgery, or inpatient treatment or hospital
consultations, or have been prescribed medication or undergone any
treatment, during the 90 days immediately prior to the commencement
of the Period of Insurance; or
• if they were on a waiting-list for, or have knowledge of the need for,
surgery, inpatient treatment or investigation at any hospital or clinic at
the commencement of the Period of Insurance; or
• if terminal diagnosis had been received prior to the commencement of
the Period of Insurance

booking conditions
We are a trading division of TUI UK Limited, Company Number 02830117, having its
Registered Office address at TUI Travel House, Crawley Business Quarter, Fleming
Way, Crawley, West Sussex RH10 9QL 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
our information section which should also be read carefully. Because we sell a wide
variety of travel products, you should read our information section and these terms
and conditions carefully, before you book, to see how they affect your specific travel
arrangements made by us.
Your travel booking
Whether you book alone or as a group, we will only deal with the lead booking name
in all subsequent correspondence, including changes, amendments and
cancellations. You must be 18 years old and possess the legal capacity and authority
to book as the lead name and travel on holidays with us and take up the offers
advertised by us if they are still available. You are responsible for ensuring the
accuracy of the personal details or any other information supplied in respect of
yourself and any other person travelling on the booking and for passing on any
information regarding the booking or any changes made in relation thereto, to all
persons travelling on such booking, including but not limited to information on
schedule changes or copies of booking confirmations.
In addition, if your holiday includes a flight, you are also responsible for (a) notifying us
prior to the time of booking of any personal circumstances and needs pertaining to a
person included in the booking including, without limitation, whether any such person
is not self reliant or is a person with mobility - for example if you, or a member of your
party, have difficulty in walking 500 metres; and (b) notifying us at any time from the
time of booking until 48 hours prior to the flight’s departure by calling our call centre if
any person travelling on the booking has ceased to be self reliant or a person with
reduced mobility or if a person previously reported to be with reduced mobility or as
not being self reliant does no longer fall into either category.
It is a condition of your booking with us that you and all other members of your party,
including infants and children, are adequately insured on holiday. Any person who is
under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult on his or her journey.
There may be other restrictions and conditions on some offers, but these are
explained in the details of those offers. When you or (if you are booking through a
travel agent) your travel agent 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 or your travel agent 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 the 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 or your travel agent 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.
The contractual terms of Our Agreement apply between you and us because you
have chosen a Package Holiday with us (hereafter, a “holiday”) which is a ‘package’
within the meaning of The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours
Regulations 1992 and will enjoy the benefits conferred by it. We may transfer your
booking to another company within our group, but this will have no effect on your
holiday arrangements.
When you buy an ATOL protected air package or flight from us you will receive a
confirmation invoice from us (via our authorised agent through which you booked)
confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser's
Licence number 2165. 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
http://www.atol.org.uk
The price of your holiday includes the amount of £1 per person as part of the ATOL
Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our
advertised prices and will be shown separately on your confirmation invoice.
The Price You Pay
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 include a cost for fuel that was
estimated at the date of this publication. We reserve the right to add a fuel
supplement to holiday prices should this increase after the date of this publication.
Prices can go up or down. We will be able to tell you or your travel agent the up-todate price of your chosen travel arrangements and of any other services advertised
by us before confirming your booking.
Surcharges
We reserve the right to increase or decrease our brochure prices and correct errors
at any time. The current price will be advised to you at the time of booking.
In respect of confirmed bookings we adopt the ABTA rule on surcharges as follows.
The price of your travel arrangements is subject to surcharge in the event of our
costs increasing due to increases in transportation costs (e.g. increases in fuel or
scheduled air fares or the imposition of any airline surcharge which is part of the
contract between airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator/organiser),
government action such as increases in VAT, or any other government imposed
increases or adverse exchange rate variations. Even in this case we will absorb
increases up to a total amount equivalent to 2% of the holiday price, excluding
insurance premiums and any amendment charges. Only amounts in excess of this
2% will be surcharged. If this means paying more than 10% of the holiday price you
will be entitled to cancel your holiday with a full refund of all money paid to us except
for any premium paid for holiday insurance and amendment charges. Should you
decide to cancel in this situation you must do so within 14 days from the issue date
printed on the invoice. Prices are based on the currency exchange rates of 2.09
Swiss francs equalling £1; and 1.40 Euro equalling £1.
If we change or cancel your holiday
It is unlikely that we will have to make changes to or cancel your holiday. However
the arrangements we offer are planned many months in advance and we reserve the
right to make changes to and correct errors in brochure and holiday details both
53
54
www.flexiski.com
before and after your booking has been confirmed and cancel confirmed bookings.
However, we will not make any significant changes (as defined below) to your
booking unless we are able to notify you not later than 14 days before departure
(except in the case of ‘Force Majeure’ as defined below and providing you have given
ourselves a telephone number by which you can be contacted during and out of
working hours, or if the change is brought about by circumstances beyond our direct
control). We also promise we will not cancel your holiday eight weeks or less before
departure unless you fail to make full payment on time or we are forced to do so as a
result of ‘Force Majeure’ as defined below or if cancellation is due to circumstances
beyond our direct control. Where a significant change or cancellation becomes
necessary, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as is reasonably possible.
A significant change is one we make to your holiday arrangements before departure
that involves changing your UK departure airport, resort, accommodation, or time of
departure or return by more than 12 hours. All other changes will be treated as
‘minor changes’. Where we have to make a significant change or cancel (except
where you default in payment), we will offer you the choice of the following options
where there is time to do so before departure: (a) (for significant changes) accepting
the changed arrangements or (b) purchasing another holiday from us of at least a
comparable standard if available (with you paying or receiving a refund in respect of
any price difference subject to the rest of this clause) or (c) cancelling or accepting
the cancellation and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us. In the event of a
significant change or cancellation, we will in addition pay you compensation in
accordance with the compensation scale and provisions set out below subject to the
following exception. No compensation can be paid and no liability beyond offering the
above mentioned options 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. Such circumstances may include those mentioned under ‘Force Majeure’
below. Except where (1) a significant change is made for a reason within our direct
control less than 14 days before departure or (2) we cancel due to a reason within
our direct control 8 weeks or less before departure, our liability is limited to offering
the above mentioned choices and (where applicable) the payments set out in the
Force Majeure
We regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance
or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by
reason of circumstances amounting to ‘Force Majeure’. In these booking conditions
‘Force Majeure’ means any event that we or the supplier of the service(s) in question
could not, even with all due care, foresee or forestall. Such events may include (by
way of example and not by way of limitation) war or threat of war, riots, civil strife,
terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather
conditions, and all similar events.
Liabilities
1. Subject to ‘Force Majeure’, we accept responsibility in the event that the services
which we contract to provide are deficient or not of reasonable standard. We also
accept responsibility for the acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers providing the individual(s) concerned were at the time
carrying out work authorised by us. Please note that this paragraph does not
apply where you suffer death, bodily injury or illness for whatever reason. In all
cases except where loss and/or damage to luggage or personal possessions
(including money), personal injury, illness or death results or a lower limitation
applies to the claim, the maximum amount we will have to pay the person(s)
affected if we are found liable to them on any basis is twice the price (excluding
insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid to us by that person/those
persons for their holiday. For lost and/or damaged luggage or personal
possessions (including money) our liability is limited to a maximum of £25.00 per
person in total as you are assumed to have taken out adequate travel insurance in
respect of your holiday.
2. Subject to these booking conditions we accept responsibility, should you or any
member of your party suffer death, injury or illness as a result of any failure to
perform or improper performance of any part of our contract with you by any of
our employees, agents, suppliers or sub-contractors (providing the individual(s)
concerned were at the time carrying out work authorised by us) except in the
following situations, We will not be liable where any failure to perform or improper
performance of the whole or any part of our contract was due to:
scale below. Where our liability is so limited, we regret we cannot meet any expenses
(a) the act(s) and/or omissions of the person(s) affected or
or losses you may incur as a result. No compensation is payable for minor changes
(b) those of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday and
which were unforeseeable and unavoidable or
or where we make a significant change or cancel more than eight weeks before
departure. Minor changes do not entitle you to cancel or change to another holiday
without paying our normal charges.

Where accommodation is offered and accepted in the same official category as the
original accommodation but with a higher brochure price, any difference in price will
be deducted from any compensation payable. In no case will we pay compensation if
accommodation is offered and accepted in a higher official category than that
originally booked in the same resort, where no additional payment is made by you.
(c) an event which either ourselves or the supplier of the service(s) in question
could not have foreseen or avoided even with all due care. The specific
promises we made to you about the contracted arrangements and the laws
and regulations of the country in which the injury, illness or death occurred will
be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been
properly performed.
If the particular services which gave rise to the injury, illness or death complied
with the local laws and regulations applicable to those services at the time of the
injury, illness or death, the services will be treated as having been properly
performed. This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws
and regulations of the UK which would have applied had those services been
provided in the UK.
3. It is a condition of the acceptance of liability set out in clauses 1 and 2 above that
you notify any claim to ourselves and our supplier(s) strictly in accordance with the
procedure set out under ‘Complaints and Arbitration’. Further, where any payment
www.flexiski.com
is made, the person(s) receiving it must assign to ourselves or our insurers any
rights they may have to pursue any third party and must cooperate with ourselves
and our insurers.
4. Where you suffer by misadventure, illness, personal injury or death as a result of an
activity which does not form part of your holiday arrangements, nor of an
excursion offered through us, we will advise and assist as much as reasonably
possible. Such assistance may include, at our absolute discretion, financial
assistance with initial legal costs in the event of your deciding to take legal action
against the third party responsible as a result provided such assistance is
requested within 90 days of the date of misadventure. All assistance, whether
financial or otherwise, is subject to a maximum cost to ourselves of £5,000 per
booking form. In the event of there being a successful claim for costs against any
third party or a suitable insurance policy or policies being in force, we shall be
entitled to recoup the costs we have actually incurred from you.
5. Flexiski cannot accept responsibility for clients missing aircraft due to late check-in
at the airport.
6. Very rarely, we may be forced to curtail holidays in the event of circumstances
amounting to ‘Force Majeure arising (see ‘Force Majeure’). In this very unusual
situation, we regret we cannot make any refunds (except where we obtain these
from suppliers), pay any compensation or meet any expenses you may incur as
a result.
Air Carrier Liability for Passengers and their Baggage
1. Compensation in the case of death or injury: There are no financial limits to the
liability for passenger injury or death. For damages up to 100000 SDRs
(approximately £80,000) the air carrier cannot contest claims for compensation.
Above that amount, the air carrier can defend itself against a claim by proving that
it was not negligent or otherwise at fault. If a passenger is killed or injured, the air
carrier must make an advance payment, to cover immediate economic needs,
within 15 days from the identification of the person entitled to compensation. In
the event of death, this advance payment shall not be less than 16000 SDRs
(approximately £13,000).
2. Passenger delays: In case of passenger delay, the air carrier is liable for damage
unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to
4. Liability of contracting and actual carriers: If the air carrier actually performing the flight
is not the same as the contracting air carrier, the passenger has the right to address a
complaint or to make a claim for damages against either. If the name or code of an
air carrier is indicated on the ticket, that air carrier is the contracting air carrier.
5. Time limit for action: Any action in court to claim damages must be brought within
two years from the date of arrival of the aircraft, or from the date on which the
aircraft ought to have arrived.
6. Basis for the information: The basis for the rules described above is the Montreal
Convention of 28 May 1999, which is implemented in the Community by
Regulation (EC) No 2027/97 (as amended by Regulation (EC) No 889/2002) and
national legislation of the Member States.”
Sea Travel Conditions of Carriage & International Conventions:
Land, sea and air carriers will have their own conditions of carriage with which you
must comply. In the case of sea travel the provisions of the Athens Convention 1974
relating to the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea may apply. This
Convention and the sea carriers conditions of carriage may continue to apply to you
and your party throughout your stay on board the ship, and during boarding and
disembarkation. This Convention presumes that your baggage has been delivered
undamaged unless you give full written details to the carrier (1) in the case of
apparent damage, before you disembark from the ship or the baggage is redelivered
to you; or (2) in the case of damage which is not apparent or of loss, within 15 days
of disembarkation or from the time when the baggage should have been redelivered
to you. The Athens Convention, and the carriers’ conditions of carriage, may limit or
exclude liability for death or personal injury, or loss of or damage to luggage, and
make special provisions for valuables. A copy of the conditions of carriage applicable
to your holiday, and the Athens Convention referred to above, can be supplied on
request. You must comply with the conditions of carriage applied by land, sea and air
carriers. The provisions of the Warsaw Convention 1929 (as amended) concerning
the carriage of passengers and their luggage by air, and the airlines’ conditions of
carriage, may apply to you and your party during your flight, and during boarding and
disembarkation. These provisions and conditions may limit or exclude liability for
death or personal injury, or loss of or damage to luggage, and may make special
provisions for valuables. We will supply a copy of the conditions of carriage applicable
to your holiday, and of the Warsaw Convention, if you request them.
take such measures. The liability for passenger delay is limited to 4150 SDRs
(approximately £3,300).
3. Baggage delays: In case of baggage delay, the air carrier is liable for damage
unless it took all reasonable measures to avoid the damage or it was impossible to
take such measures. The liability for baggage delay is limited to 1000 SDRs
(approximately £800). The air carrier is liable for destruction, loss or damage to
baggage up to 1000 SDRs (approximately £800). In the case of checked
baggage, it is liable even if not at fault, unless the baggage was defective. In the
case of unchecked baggage, the carrier is liable only if at fault. A passenger can
benefit from a higher liability limit by making a special declaration at the latest at
check-in and by paying a supplementary fee. If the baggage is damaged, delayed,
lost or destroyed, the passenger must write and complain to the air carrier as
soon as possible. In the case of damage to checked baggage, the passenger
must write and complain within seven days, and in the case of delay within 21
days, in both cases from the date on which the baggage was placed at the
passenger’s disposal.
Special Requests and Medical Problems
If you, or any member of your party has a medical problem or disability which may
affect your holiday, please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can
advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. In any event, you must give
us details in writing at the time of booking. Any special requests must be advised to
us at the time of booking and clearly noted on the booking form. Whilst we will
endeavour to meet/pass on to suppliers any reasonable requests wherever possible
we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled and failing to do so will not constitute a
breach of contract on our part.
Health Requirements
Always check with your doctor as to which inoculations and health requirements are
advisable or necessary well before you travel. You should also refer to the
Department of Health leaflet, ‘The Travellers’ Guide to Health’. At the time of going to
print there are no compulsory vaccinations for British citizens for the destinations
featured in this brochure.

Local Safety Standards and Suppliers Conditions
Please note, it is the requirements and standards of the country in which any services
which make up your holiday are provided which apply to those services and not
those of the UK. As a general rule, these requirements and standards will not be the
same as the UK and may be lower. Suppliers provide the services which make up
your holiday in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms
and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in
accordance with applicable international conventions.
Flights, Timings and Delays
Please note flight timings may change. The information shown in this brochure and
given on booking is for guidance purposes only. Latest times will be shown on your
itinerary. However, times may change again and we will, if possible, advise you of any
further changes before your date of travel. The majority of our flight tickets are
electronic (called “E”-tickets) which means you will not receive a paper ticket.
Occasionally, we may send you a paper ticket. We will not usually be in a position to
advise as to the aircraft type which will be used in connection with any flight at the
time of booking. When we confirm the airline, aircraft type or or airport of destination
which will be used for your holiday at any time, this information may change. If it
does, the change will not entitle you to cancel or change to another holiday without
paying our normal charges. It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all
members of your party are at the correct departure point at the correct time. We
cannot accept responsibility for clients missing aircraft or other transport due to late
check-in at the airport. Please note flight tickets are normally non-refundable. Please
also note that should you miss your outbound scheduled flight, for any reason, the
airline will automatically cancel your inbound leg. Should you wish to have a more
flexible ticket, please ask one of our consultants for details.
Travel Insurance
It is a condition of our accepting your booking that you take out our special travel
insurance or alternatively, at that time, arrange a policy yourself which provides
comparable or greater cover. This alternative policy must also offer a 24 hour
emergency telephone and repatriation service. In the event of any emergency, should
you not have adequate insurance cover, we will offer all reasonable assistance but it
must be understood that you will be responsible for any costs involved. It is your
responsibility to arrange additional insurance cover exceeding the maximum amounts
payable under our policy or providing cover for additional areas of risk if you consider
our policy is not adequate for the particular needs of your party.
Photographs
These are intended to give an overall impression rather than details. Any item of
furniture or chattels which appear in the photographs may have been changed or
removed from the accommodation.
Behaviour
We reserve the right to terminate the holiday arrangements of any client who, in our
opinion or in the opinion of any airline pilot, accommodation owner or manager or
other person in authority, is causing or is likely to cause distress, annoyance or
danger to any of our other clients, employees or any third party, or damage to
property. In this situation our responsibility for the holiday of the person concerned
will immediately cease and we will not be liable to pay any compensation, make any
refund or meet any expenses that they may incur as a result. Where applicable,
full cancellation charges will apply. Please note we do not accept animals or pets in
our properties.
Financial Security
We have arranged a bond lodged with the Civil Aviation Authority for holidays and
travel arrangements in this brochure and we hold Air Travel Organisers License
(ATOL) number 2165. For holidays and travel arrangements which do not include
travel by air we have arranged a bond with the Federation of Tour Operators Trust
Fund Limited. This means that in the unlikely event of our insolvency before or during
your holiday, you will be returned to the UK (if you are abroad) or, if your holiday has
not yet started, the money which you have paid us will be returned to you in full. We
are also members of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) membership
number V378X. These Booking Conditions and this brochure comply with their code
of conduct for tour operators.
Consumer Levy
Proposals are presently being considered for the introduction of a ‘consumer levy’ on
all holidays. If such a levy is introduced during the validity of this brochure, we reserve
the right to increase the advertised prices to include the levy and to pass on the levy
in respect of confirmed bookings. In this situation the surcharge paragraph set out
above will not apply. Any levy will be shown as a separate item on your invoice.
Star Categories/Country Standards
Chalets are not hotels and as such are not classified by the local tourist authorities.
Please rely on the descriptions we provide. For hotels, the ratings fixed by the local
tourist authority are shown where available. Generally speaking, these ratings are not
comparable to rating systems used in the UK. Please note that in Austria, twin beds
usually consist of two separate mattresses attached to a singe frame or headboard
and they cannot be separated. This style is known as an Austrian Twin. Similarly in
many hotels (in all countries) a “double” bed may consist of two mattresses on
separate bases, zipped together.
Foreign Office Travel Advice
Current travel advice is readily available from the Travel Advice Unit,
1 Palace Street, London SW1E 5HE. Tel: 0207 238 4503, Fax: 0207 2384545. FCO
travel advice notices are also displayed on BBC2 (Ceefax).
Holiday Security SkiBound Ltd (trading as Flexiski) is a fully bonded tour operator,
licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority (ATOL 2165). This means that the money you
pay up-front is protected. In the unlikely event that Flexiski should encounter financial
problems before you travel with us, you would get your money back. Should the
problems arise while you are on holiday, you would be able to enjoy your holidays and
fly home without hassle.

entire agreement between us with regard to your booking and your travel arrangements.
You also consent to our processing personal information about you and other members
of your party. Where the context permits, reference to “you” and “your” will include you

Cancellation charges are calculated from the date written notification of cancellation is
received by us as a percentage of the total holiday cost, excluding supplements,
ski school payments, published fare flight costs, amendment charges and insurance
premiums, which are not refundable in the event of your cancellation. Please note that if
numbers in a group fall, the holiday cost will be recalculated based on the final number
of guests plus any cancellation charges that may apply to the cancelled people.
Please note that where we confirm a ski school reservation on your behalf you personally
enter into a contract direct with that ski school.
Paying for your travel arrangements
We accept MasterCard, Visa, Barclaycard, AMEX and debit cards. All credit cards
transaction carry a 2% charge, except for AMEX which is 2.5%. This means that you
may telephone your requirements for immediate booking. All bookings, including those
made by telephone, are subject to these booking conditions. You must submit a
completed and signed booking form accepting these conditions on behalf of all party
members at the time of booking together with a deposit of £150 per person for Amalien
Haus booking, 20% of holiday cost for all other chalets, 30% of holiday cost for hotel
bookings and 100% of published fare flight costs, or the full holiday cost if booking within
10 weeks of departure, and all applicable insurance premiums. Please note some of our
hotels may request a 50% deposit payment. If so, we will advise you at the earliest
opportunity. The balance of the holiday cost must be received by us no later than 10
weeks prior to departure. If payment is not received in full and on time we reserve the
right to treat the booking as cancelled by you and to apply the cancellation charges set
out under ‘Cancellation’ below. You may need time to agree holiday details with other
party members. To enable you to do so we will normally hold your chosen holiday as an
option until close of business on the third day when it will be automatically cancelled
unless you have confirmed the booking with us. A binding contract comes into existence
between us when your booking is confirmed as definite to you by telephone or, all other
cases, when we despatch your confirmation invoice. This contract will be governed by
English Law and is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England and
Wales. You must check your confirmation invoice, tickets and all other documentation
carefully as soon as you receive it.
You must also let us know straight away if anything appears to be incorrect as it may not
be possible to make changes at a later stage. We regret we cannot accept liability if we
are not notified of any errors within ten days (three days for tickets) of our dispatching the
document in question. The person making the booking must be at least 18 years of age
and guarantee payment to us of the total holiday cost on behalf of, and with the consent
of, all persons for whom the booking is made.
Booking Alterations
If you wish to make any changes to your confirmed holiday, we will endeavour to assist
although we cannot of course guarantee that we will be able to meet any particular
request. Where we can meet a request, an amendment fee of £40 per person, per
booking will be payable together with all costs we incur or our suppliers impose or incur
as a result.
Cancellations
Should you or any member(s) of the party need to cancel your holiday, the
first named person on the booking form must inform us in writing immediately.
Cancellation charges to compensate us for the costs of making your booking and the
risk we may be unable to sell your holiday will be payable as follows:
Cancellation charge

Complaints and Arbitration
We make every effort to ensure that you have a trouble-free holiday. In the event of a
complaint concerning the holiday you should immediately report it to your Flexiski
representative in the resort and to the relevant supplier, specifying in writing all the pertinent
details in order to give us a fair opportunity to investigate the matter. Our representative
and/or supplier will naturally do his/her best to resolve the matter on the spot. If you remain
dissatisfied, the complaint in resort should be followed by a formal notice of complaint
which must be received by us not later than 28 days after the end of your holiday.
We regret that we cannot accept liability for any claims which are not notified entirely in
accordance with this clause. Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract
which cannot be settled amicably may be referred to arbitration under a special scheme
which is administered quite independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration based on
documents alone with restricted liability for the customer in respect of costs.
The scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £1,500 per
person/£7,500 per booking form, nor to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of
physical injury or illness or the consequences of such injury or illness. Application for
arbitration should be made within 9 months of the end of the holiday, but in exceptional
circumstances may be offered outside this period.
Conduct While Travelling
We reserve the right to refuse to accept you as a customer or continue dealing with you
if your behaviour is disruptive or affects other travellers or is threatening or abusive
towards our staff or agents in the UK or resort, on the telephone, in writing or in person.
If the Captain of your flight or cruise ship or any of our resort staff believes that you could
be disruptive or that you are suffering from a contagious disease, they can also refuse to
let you proceed with your travel arrangements or restrict your movements on board or
disembark you from a ship or aircraft. If you are disruptive and this means you are not
allowed to board the flight outbound from the UK, we will treat your booking as
cancelled by you from that moment, and you will have to pay full cancellation charges.
If this occurs overseas then you will become responsible for your own return home and
any other members of your group who cannot or will not travel without you. If you are
refused carriage because of your disruptive behaviour, or that you are under the influence
of alcohol or drugs, your airline may pass on your details and date of the refusal of
carriage to other airlines for their information. This in turn may make it difficult for you to
book other airline tickets. In any of these circumstances no refunds or compensation will
be paid to you and we may make a claim against you for any costs and expenses
incurred as a result of your behaviour e.g. the cost of diverting an aircraft or ship to
remove you. Criminal proceedings may also be instigated.
Breakages and Damages
You are responsible for any breakages, losses or damages caused during your stay in
your accommodation and it is your responsibility either to put right the damage or to
make full payment to our local representative before departure from the resort.

the group immediately. If you do not agree to Our Use of Your Information above,
we cannot do business with you or accept your booking.
