Your contract is with Braintree Travel Ltd, a fully regulated member of the Travel Trust Association (TTA). Please read the terms and conditions of your agreement carefully before booking. When you make a booking and we accept it, a legally binding contract is made.

When we book flights on your behalf, Braintree Travel Ltd. is acting as an agent for the flight supplier/tour operator shown on your documents (together with their ATOL number and booking reference where applicable). The terms and conditions of the relevant principal will apply to your flight reservation and are available on request.

Except where specified, the terms and conditions that follow apply where we do not act as an agent.

1. Booking form 
You must sign a booking form or complete a booking form online accepting these booking conditions on behalf of all your party. The person signing the booking form is responsible for informing all party members of the relevant booking details. 

2. Your contract & invoice 
On receipt of your booking we will send you a confirmation invoice and/or will confirm your booking verbally. This acts as our/your acceptance of the reservation on the terms of these booking conditions. A binding contract is made as soon as we issue a confirmation invoice for you or confirm your holiday verbally. You must check your confirmation invoice carefully as soon as you receive it. Subject to errors, this sets out what we have agreed to provide. If it appears to be incorrect in any way you must contact us immediately. Charges as detailed in section 6, will apply to correct any errors. When a reservation is made by telephone and paid in part or full by debit/credit card, your contract with Braintree Travel Ltd. is confirmed upon clearance of the payment. 

3. Prices
The prices on this website apply at the time of publishing and may be varied before your booking has been made. After your booking has been confirmed, prices will not be subject to any surcharges other than for reasons of fluctuations in exchange rates or government action such as increases in VAT or any additional duties or taxes which may be imposed. Where such surcharges are levied, these will be passed on to you. Details of what is included in the price can be found on our website. The provision of accommodation may be subject to a booking fee at certain times of the year. 

4. Payment 
The person signing or completing the booking form accepts responsibility of payment for all of the persons included in the booking. The balance must be paid 10 weeks prior to departure. If payment is not made by this time, your booking will be deemed cancelled and you will forfeit your deposit, as set out in section 6. Payment of balance by credit card will incur a service charge of 2.5% of the total balance and payment of balance by debit card will incur a standard service charge of £1.00. If you pay a deposit by credit or debit card, your balance and any applicable service charge will automatically be debited from the card on the balance due date shown on your invoice, unless an alternative method of payment has been received prior to that date. 

5. Travel documentation 
Having accepted your reservation we will send you a confirmation invoice within 7 days. Your full travel documentation will be despatched approximately 10 days prior to your departure. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of all necessary travel documentation, a valid passport and a visa (where applicable). We will look to recover from you any costs or fines imposed upon ourselves or any third party, as a result of you holding incorrect or improper documentation.

6. If you change or cancel your accommodation 
If you wish to alter any details of your booking we will make all reasonable efforts to make any changes, although we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. We will charge an Administration Fee of £25.00 per amendment, plus any charges that may be imposed by a relevant third party, for each detail of the booking changed. If the number of people travelling changes, there may be additional/increased charges for which you may be liable and any special child offers and/or reductions may be lost. If you make an amendment within 10 weeks of departure, cancellation charges may be imposed. Should you wish to cancel, cancellation will only be valid upon receipt of written instructions from the party leader. Written instructions may be sent by post, fax or email. If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim any cancellation charges (less any excess) from your insurers. In the event of a cancellation not covered by your insurers, Premier Connections will endeavour to re-sell your accommodation but if we are unable to do so, cancellation charges as set out below will be applied. These charges are to compensate us for our estimated losses and expenses as a result of administering your booking to the point of cancellation. In the event that a relevant third party supplier such as a hotelier imposes a higher cancellation charge than those set out below, we reserve the right to pass these charges on to you. Insurance premiums are not transferable or refundable.

7. If we change or cancel your accommodation 
It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your accommodation arrangements but if circumstances beyond our control make it necessary for us to alter or cancel your accommodation, we reserve the right to do so. In the event of minor alterations, we will do our best to notify you before you travel and if a significant change or cancellation has to be made, we will advise you as soon as possible. If your accommodation has to be changed we will do our best to provide alternative accommodation of a similar or higher official classification. If a major change has to be made, such as changes to your resort area or offering accommodation of a lower official classification, you may a) accept the changed arrangements; b) choose another property (subject to availability). If the alternative is of a lower price than that originally booked, the difference (if already paid by you) will be refunded; or c) cancel your holiday. Cancellation rights may be exercised at any time up to your departure date but no later than 7 days of our posting written notice of the alteration to your party leader. This time limit must be strictly adhered to and late cancellation cannot be accepted.

8. Holiday travel and changes to transport arrangements
When we book flights on your behalf Braintree Travel Ltd is acting as an agent for the relevant flight supplier/tour operator shown on your documents and the relevant terms and conditions of these principals will apply to your flight reservation. Copies of these conditions are available on request and you are bound by those conditions. Please note that under EU law and Civil Aviation Authority regulations, airlines and operators can change flight times and details at any time and without notice. Alterations to carriers or aircraft type, the addition of en-route stops or flight changes of less than 12 hours will not entitle you to compensation or to cancel your booking without penalty. Flight details given at the time of booking are provided for guidance purposes only and the latest available flight schedules will be provided with your travel tickets. Check-in at all airports is usually at least 2 hours before take off. The airline may refuse check-in if you arrive late, which may result in full cancellation charges being levied. Any additional costs incurred in assisting you to travel in such circumstances will be your responsibility. In the event of the failure of a flight supplier, passengers affected by the failure will be charged an administration fee of £25.00 per person. This charge is levied to cover the additional administrative expenses incurred by Braintree Travel Ltd. as a result of the failure. Where the commission received by us from an operator is not sufficient to cover costs, an administration fee will be charged. In the event of cancellation by yourself, the operator will apply cancellation charges as per their booking conditions and our flight administration fee will be non-refundable.

9. Force majeure 
If war or terrorist activities, threatened or actual, civil unrest, industrial action, threatened or actual, weather conditions, fire, flood, drought, airport regulations and closures, unforeseen alterations to public transport schedules and rescheduling of aircraft or any other event outside the control of Braintree Travel Ltd either delays or extends the holiday, prohibits travel or compels a change in the holiday arrangements, Braintree Travel Ltd cannot accept liability for any resulting loss, damage or expense. Furthermore, should you choose not to travel and/or cancel your holiday arrangements due to any of these circumstances, Braintree Travel Ltd cannot accept liability for any resulting loss and normal cancellation charges will be applied.

10. Website accuracy 
We make every effort to ensure that the information and photography contained on our website is accurate. However, there may be occasions when some of the advertised facilities or services may be altered or withdraw without prior notice e.g. a pool may be emptied for cleaning/repairs or a restaurant/ bar closed. Such events are regrettably beyond our control and we do reserve the right to alter the particulars advertised. However, we will endeavour to keep you informed of any changes that we are aware of at the time of booking. If we are advised of any changes after you have reserved your accommodation, you will be contacted as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. 

11. Accommodation occupancy 
Accommodation is reserved only for the use and enjoyment of the passengers shown on your confirmation invoice. Subletting, sharing or assignment of the holiday accommodation to other persons is not permitted. Should additional persons occupy, a charge will be raised to the lead passenger with whom the booking was made. 

12. Occupation & vacation times 
In general, the majority of our properties can be occupied from 16.00 hours on the arrival date stated on our invoice and must be vacated by 10.00 hours on the departure date shown. We reserve the right to impose additional charges in the event of late vacation of a property.

13. ABW, key & security deposits.
All accommodation reservations are subject to a £5.00 per person accidental breakage waiver (ABW). This charge provides cover of up to £100.00 per person for accidental breakages to accommodation equipment. Please note that ABW does not cover wilful or malicious damage, the cost of which will be charged back to clients where necessary. In addition to ABW, large parties, single sex or predominantly young parties may also be subject to a refundable security deposit. This is generally set at £25.00 per person but does vary from property to property. Certain properties require a small key deposit, which is fully refundable on return.

14. Insurance 
As a condition of booking, you are required to take out our holiday insurance or arrange an alternative policy, which provides a comparable or greater degree of cover under all sections.

15. Holiday participation 
We reserve the right to terminate your holiday arrangements without notice if we are of the opinion that your behaviour may cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to other clients, employees, property or any third party. If Braintree Travel Ltd., our local representatives, the property owner or any person in authority prevents you from travelling, refuses you admission to, or asks you to vacate your accommodation because you appear to be likely to cause discomfort or disturbance to other people, our responsibility for your holiday thereupon ceases. Full cancellation charges will apply and we will be under no obligation whatsoever for any refund, compensation or costs that you may incur. In addition, you will be responsible for any expenses we may incur as a result of your behaviour. Braintree Travel Ltd has no control over other persons staying at or visiting your holiday accommodation and is not responsible for any withdrawal or impairment of facilities or other loss or damage caused by them.

16. If you have a complaint 
If you have a complaint during your holiday, you must bring it to the attention of your representative or local contact immediately so that steps can be taken to resolve the matter in the resort. If your complaint cannot be resolved, it is an express condition of booking that you complete a report form in the resort (available from your representative/local contact). Your party leader must then follow this up within 14 days of the end of your holiday, by writing to our office, stating the nature of your complaint and enclosing a copy of the report form. We are unable to deal with complaints made over the telephone or made by any party member other than the person that signed the booking form.

17. Law 
It is agreed by all parties that, in any action arising out of or in connection with this contract, English law will govern and exclusive jurisdiction is conferred on the English courts

18. Consumer protection
The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the holidays booked from this website and for your repatriation in the event of our insolvency.
