Where necessary we reserve the right to restrict bookings to take account of an inappropriate gender balance, to ensure the quality of our product.
2 Payment of the balance
The balance of the price of your holiday must be paid on the date given to you at booking. If the balance is not paid in time we reserve the right to cancel your holiday, retain the deposit. You may be able to reinstate your booking but this will depend on availability and incur an admin fee.

Where an alteration is made within eight weeks of departure we will treat such alteration as a cancellation of the original booking. Any costs incurred by us will be passed on and may be as high as 100% of the cost of the holiday. All amendments must be in writing via email.
No refund will be made for unused accommodation or services due to voluntary variation of a holiday.

5 Travel Insurance
It is a requirement, when booking your holiday, that you buy travel insurance or you can demonstrate at the time of booking that you hold a policy providing cover. Any insurance must also offer a 24hr emergency telephone and repatriation service. In the event of an emergency, should you not have adequate insurance cover, although we will offer all reasonable assistance, it must be understood that you will be responsible for any costs involved as a result of your failure to take out adequate cover. Please read your policy details carefully. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for the particular needs of you and your party. We do not check customer insurance policies.
6 Alteration by us
We plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance and although it is unlikely that we shall have to make any changes to confirmed arrangements, it does occasionally happen. Most changes are of a minor nature and we will advise you at the earliest possible date. If a major change occurs, we shall inform you as soon as is reasonably possible. A major change is one that we make to your holiday before departure that includes changing your airports(s) (except between Gatwick and Heathrow or between alternative airports within the same overseas city), or time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, or offering you accommodation of a lower standard. In such cases you have the choice of either accepting the revised arrangements as notified to you, or cancelling your holiday with full refund of money paid.
For all these alternatives we will pay compensation on the scale shown below (or a full refund of all money paid if you choose to cancel)
Period before departure date that notification is given Compensation per person
Within 2 Weeks £40.00
Within 4 Weeks £30.00
Within 6 Weeks £20.00
Within 8 Weeks £10.00
More than 8 Weeks 0
Important note: Compensation will not be payable if we are forced to cancel, or in any way change your holiday due to war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, disease or adverse weather conditions or other events outside our control. Neither will it be payable in case of flight delay after check-in which is covered separately by your holiday insurance.
7 Cancellation by us
We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday and all holidays are subject to a minimum number of participants, for Viva Mallorca in October 2023 we require a minimum of 160 people. We will not cancel your holiday within 8 weeks of departure unless caused by events beyond our control or failure on your part to pay the final balance. In circumstances where we are unable to provide the holiday booked, we will offer to you an alternative holiday of comparable standard. If this is unacceptable, we will return to you all monies paid.

We accept responsibility for ensuring that all component parts of your holiday are supplied to you as confirmed by us on your confirmation and final invoice, and that services offered reach a reasonable standard.
