expensive) or a refund of the money you’ve paid to us. This does
not apply where the change is not material.
Examples of non-material changes include, but are not limited

again we may be able to offer you an alternative. If you accept it,
you would pay the difference if it was advertised at a higher

epidemic or pandemic illness and all similar situations we will
have no liability to you. No compensation, costs, expenses or

14.
Hote Reservations During Special Events/Major
Conference & Exhibition and Periods:
100% cancellation charges will apply to dates of stay falling
within a Fair/Exhibition period. For dates of stay within the same
booking, not falling within the Fair period, our standard non-Fair
period cancellation and amendment conditions will apply. Any
changes or modifications for dates of stay falling within a Fair or
exhibition period will be treated as cancellations and will
incur charges as above. The only exceptions to this will be
where additional rooms/beds/cots/nights are added to existing
confirmed rooms or nights.
If You Want to Change Your Booking:
After our confirmation has been issued, any requests for changes
must be sent to us in writing, by email, fax or post, by the person
that made the booking. We cannot guarantee that we will be
able to accommodate your request but we will try to do so.
These are likely to be higher the closer you get to your arrival
date, so contact us as soon as you can. If you change the number
in your party, the accommodation price will be re-calculated. If
the party size or date is reduced, this is likely to mean the remai
ning members paying more due to under-occupancy.
During non-Fair/exhibition periods: Cancellation charges will be
applied in relation to the notice period between notification of
cancellation and the date of stay at EACH hotel within a booking.
If there are more than one booking under one reservation and if
any part of the reservation is on request and subsequently not
available, this does not entitle the client to cancel all of the
booking including the already
confirmed portion by us. The clients are obliged to pay for the
confirmed part of the booking at all times.
Any confirmed part of the booking is cancelled by clients
whether the remaining part of the booking was not confirmed,
cancellation charges will be applied.
If You want to Cancel Your Booking:
The person that made the booking must put this in writing to
us, by email, fax or post. Because we incur costs in cancelling
confirmed bookings, particularly if cancellations occur close to
arrival date, you will be charged a cancellation fee.
Charges are shown as a percentage of your accommodation
cost (excluding amendment fees, if any, which are
non-refundable in the event of a cancellation).
Please Note: Cancellation and amendment policy may differ
between bookings depending on standard, special event or fair
periods. If your booking is in a different currency from above,
please contact us so we can quote you the accurate amendment
fee in the relevant currency at the time of the amendment.
No amendment(s) within the cancellation dates, the cancellation
dates are shown on the accommodation voucher at the time of
booking.
Amendments and changes where EITHER change of original
dates, original lead name of the booking, the number of rooms
(irrespective of room type) OR the number of nights decreases,
will be charged as above.
An Amendment must be confirmed back to you by one of our
consultants.
If you have not received a confirmation of the amendment or
cancellation within 24 hours after submission,it means we have
not received it and you must resubmit it. All amendments are
subject to availability.
15.
No Show / Late Arrivals:
If you fail to arrive at your hotel on the check-in date indicated
on your hotel voucher, the hotel will cancel your booking. If you
