TERMS OF BOOKING
The conditions set out below together
with the relevant brochure & Website
(www.jmb-travel.co.uk) descriptions will
form part of the contract between you and
everyone else named in the booking form
added subsequently (“you”) and JMB Travel
Consultants Limited of 52 Montpellier Spa
Road, Cheltenham GL50 1UL (“us”).
1. To make a booking A deposit is required
(amount as stated on your quotation or
invoice) for all departures. (NB: For Late
Bookings, see paragraph 2 below). On
receipt of your deposit we will send you
a confirmation and invoice. The contract
between us is made when we take your
deposit and issue the confirmation and
invoice. We will do our best to comply with
any special requests but cannot guarantee
that we will be able to do so.
The balance of your holiday price must be
paid at least eight weeks before departure,
otherwise we may cancel your holiday and
levy the cancellation charges set out in
paragraph 11 below. The person signing does
so on behalf of the entire party and he or
she is primarily responsible for all payments.
The charge of 2.5% which is made by the
relevant Credit Card Company will be
levied on all credit card transactions for the
payment of your holiday.
2. Late Bookings If you book less than
eight weeks before departure, we will do
our best to accept your late booking, but
please be warned that we usually have to
release surplus accommodation and seats
back to hotels and airlines eight weeks
before departure. It is not always possible
to get back on the same basis what we have
released. If we are able to accept your late
booking, we will confirm it on the phone
and ask you to send full payment with your
booking form immediately. Cancellation
by you after confirmation will incur the
cancellation charges set out in paragraph
11 below.
3. Holiday Price Your holiday price and what
it includes are clearly set out in the brochure
for each individual quoted holiday. The
prices are based on quotations and estimates
received from airlines, hotels and handling
agents and closing exchange published rates
in the Financial Times on 3rd September
2015. Currency, flight and other costs
associated with your holiday are susceptible
to change and currency exchange rates can
fluctuate sharply. We are obliged, therefore,
to reserve our right to levy a surcharge in
respect of transportation costs, the cost of
fuel, airport charges, governmental action or
currency fluctuation. In the unlikely event
that there is a surcharge we will absorb
an amount to 2% of the total holiday cost,
excluding the insurance premium and any
amendment charges. We promise never
to impose a surcharge less than thirty days
before you depart.
4. Our Responsibilities to you
We accept liability if any of the services we
are contractually obliged to provide prove
deficient and not of a reasonable standard
or if you suffer personal injury or death as a
result of any of the services or facilities we
arrange for you UNLESS the deficiency, lack
of reasonable standard, personal injury or
death is not attributable to us, nor to the fault
of our suppliers, but is attributable to your
fault, to the actions of someone unconnected
with your holiday or to any unusual and
unforeseeable circumstances beyond our
control which neither we nor our suppliers
could have anticipated or avoided even
exercising all due care.
Except in cases of personal injury or
death, the maximum compensation we
will pay you for a deficiency or lack of
reasonable standard (“a deficiency”) is a
full refund of the holiday price, together
with reimbursement of any expenses that
you are obliged to incur because of the
deficiency and 50% of the holiday price
per person affected by the deficiency. Our
assessment of the reasonable compensation
to which you are entitled will depend upon
the circumstances of your particular case.
The conditions of carriage of any airline or
other transportation company providing a
component of your holiday arrangements are
incorporated into this contract. Please note
that if you suffer death or personal injury
in the course of air, sea or rail travel or in
connection with hotel accommodation, the
amount of compensation you will receive is
limited by certain International Conventions.
These are the Warsaw Convention, as
amended by the Hague Protocol 1955
(air), the Berne Convention 1961 (rail), the
Athens Convention 1974 (sea) and the Paris
Convention 1962 (hotels). If you wish to see
copies of these Conventions please write to
us allowing 28 days for a reply.
We cannot accept liability if you suffer
personal injury or death from an activity
which is not part of the holiday arrangements
we make for you. However, if you are in
difficulty, we will endeavour to give you
prompt assistance, including help and
guidance.
5. Your Responsibilities to us
You must make sure that you have a valid
passport and, if appropriate, a visa for your
holiday. If your holiday arrangements include
a hire car, you must make sure you take a
valid EC or International, as appropriate,
driving licence with you. We cannot be held
liable if you do not. If we incur any expense
in helping you because you do not have with
you a valid passport/visa or driving licence,
you will have to reimburse us. Similarly
you should also check and ensure that
you comply with any health requirements
applicable to the place(s) to which you
are travelling.
6. Changes to your Holiday by us
We will do our best to avoid having to
change your holiday, but we reserve the
right to make changes. A change may be
”significant“ or ”minor“. A ”Significant“
change will be a change of your place of
departure (except between Gatwick and
Heathrow), a change of departure time
by more than twelve hours, a change of
accommodation to a lower grade than
booked or a surcharge of more than 15%
of the holiday price, excluding insurance
premium and amendment fees. Any other
change will be “minor”. We reserve the right
to make minor changes at any time. We will,
if practicable, notify you of minor changes
in advance, but we are not obliged to do so
nor are we obliged to pay compensation.
If there is a significant change, we will tell
you as soon as practicable and offer you a
choice of three options. The first option is to
accept the suggested alteration. The second
option is to change your booking to another
holiday operated by us and available. (If
the replacement holiday is more expensive,
you will have to pay the difference; if it is
cheaper, we will give you the appropriate
refund.) The third option is to cancel your
holiday altogether and to receive a full
refund. In the unlikely event that we have
to make a significant change after your
holiday has started, or if we become unable
to provide a significant proportion of the
services booked, we will either arrange for
you to return to the UK (if you wish) and
give you a refund in proportion to the cost
of the services not received, or we will
make alternative holiday arrangements for
you. Unless a significant change is caused
by ”force majeure“ (that is, unusual and
unforeseeable circumstances beyond
our control, the consequences of which
neither we nor our suppliers could avoid,
for example, war, threat of war, riots, civil
strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes,
natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse
weather conditions, level of water in rivers
or similar events beyond our control), or
”low bookings” (this refers to the fact that
we may require a minimum number of
bookings before being able to operate the
holidays described in this brochure at the
prices shown), we will pay compensation for
significant change in accordance with the
table set out below:Days before departure

7. Brochure & Website Accuracy
We endeavour to ensure that our brochure
& Website (www.jmb-travel.co.uk) is correct
and accurate. However, the accommodation,
services and facilities described in the
brochure & Website are generally outside
our control and, therefore, we reserve the
right to change any of the accommodation,
services, facilities or prices described in this
brochure at any time before accepting your
booking.
8. Flights Flight timings are provided by
airlines and we are subject to air traffic
control restrictions, weather conditions,
potential technical problems etc. We cannot
guarantee that flights will depart at the times
TERMS OF BOOKING
given by us or shown on your tickets.
We cannot be held liable for any delay
which occurs.
9. Changes to your Holiday by you Changes
of names are dealt with in paragraph 10
below. Subject to availability, we will make
any other amendment to your holiday you
want, provided you request the amendment
in writing and pay the appropriate
amendment fee. Requests received more
than six weeks before departure will
incur an amendment fee of £20.00 per
person to cover administration costs. An
amendment request received within six
weeks of departure will be treated as a
cancellation and re-booking, in which case
the cancellation charges set out in paragraph
11 below will apply. NB: Please note that if
one or more members of the party cancel,
this may involve the remaining members
having to pay more for their holiday - see
Price Table.
10. Name changes Subject to certain
conditions, you may transfer your booking to
another person. Those conditions are:(a) You must show us documentary proof of
a serious reason which prevents you from
travelling, such as your own personal injury
or illness, the personal injury, illness or death
of a close relative, jury service, redundancy
or an unavoidable work commitment.
(b) The person wishing to take over your
booking must agree to be bound by our
booking conditions.
(c) You, or the person taking over your
booking, must pay any final balance due
before the name change is affected.
(d) You must pay an administration fee of
£20.00 per name change, as well as all
additional charges of whatever type which
our suppliers may impose. Airlines may
charge a 100% cancellation fee and the cost
of a replacement ticket.
(e) Any request to transfer your booking must
be sent to us in writing to arrive at least 21
days before you are due to depart. It must
be signed by the person who signed the
booking form and must be accompanied
by the documentary proof referred to in
(a) above, full details of the proposed new
passenger, payment
of the final balance if applicable, payment
of the administration fee and additional
charges in accordance with paragraph (d)
and any travel documentation already issued
to you by us.
11. Cancellation by you Cancellations must
be notified to us by telephone and in writing.
The following cancellation charges apply,
the days in question being calculated from
the date on which we receive your written
cancellation:-

More than 60 days
Deposit
32- 59 days
(inclusive)
60% of the holiday cost
31 days or less
100% of the holiday

We strongly recommend that you take out
adequate holiday cancellation insurance.
12. Cancellation by us We reserve the
right to treat your holiday as cancelled
and levy the cancellation charges set out
in paragraph 11 above if you fail to make
final payment when it becomes due - see
paragraph 1 above. On rare occasions
we have to cancel client’s holidays before
departure for other reasons, such as low
bookings (see paragraph 6), and we reserve
the right to do so. However, we will not
cancel your holiday less than eight weeks
before departure except for reasons of force
majeure. If we do cancel your holiday, we
will offer you the choice of an alternative
available holiday or a full and prompt
refund of all monies paid. If you choose an
alternative holiday which is more expensive,
you will have to pay the difference, but if
it is cheaper, we will refund the difference.
In addition, if we cancel your holiday for
any reason other than force majeure or low
bookings we will pay you compensation on
the scale set out in paragraph 6.
13. If something goes wrong If you
are unhappy about any aspects of your
holiday arrangements, please let us/our
representative know straightaway so that
immediate steps can be taken to rectify
the problem. Failure to do this may reduce
or even extinguish your legal right to
compensation. In the unlikely event that
there is a problem and it is not resolved
to your satisfaction while you are on your
holiday and you wish to complain, please
write within 28 days of your return to the
UK.
14. Financial Protection
The air holidays 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
ATOL 3539.
When you buy an ATOL protected flight
or flight inclusive holiday from us you will
receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what
is financially protected, where you can get
information on what this means for you and
who to contact if things go wrong.
We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL
Certificate, will provide you with the services
JMB TRAVEL CONSULTANTS LTD.
52 Montpellier Spa Road, Cheltenham GL50 1UL
Telephone: 01242 220394, Email: info@jmb-travel.co.uk
www.jmb-travel.co.uk
listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable
alternative). In some cases, where neither we
nor the supplier are able to 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 reassigned to another body, if that other body
has paid sums you have claimed under the
ATOL scheme.
15. Law and Jurisdiction
This contract and any matters arising from
it will be governed by and construed in
accordance with English law and will be
subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of
England and Wales.
16. Changes to the Cast/Cancellation of the
Opera or Festival
In the event that any member of the cast
of a particular Opera/Concert is unable
to perform for any reason, we JMB Travel
Consultants cannot be held responsible for
this change. In the event of an Opera or
Festival being cancelled for whatever reason
we will refund to you whatever refunds we
receive from the event organiser.
17. Outdoor Performances In the event of
adverse weather conditions a full refund of
the face value of the performance ticket will
be made only if the performance fails
353to9 start
and payment must be collected from the
box office. If abandonment occurs into the
start the conditions of the ticket purchased
prevent any refund.
