(ii) the level of taxes or fees applicable to the Travel Package imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; and
(iii) the exchange rates relevant to Your Travel Package.
You will be charged for the amount of any increase. However if this means You have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your confirmed Travel Package, You will have the option of accepting a change to another package if we are able to offer one (if it is of lower quality You will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us, except for any insurance premiums and any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements. Should You decide to cancel for this reason, You must exercise Your right to do so within 7 days from the issue date printed on Your final invoice. Should the price of Your Travel Package go down, then any refund due will be paid to You less an administrative fee of £30. There will be no change made to the price of Your confirmed Travel Package within 20 days of Your departure nor will refunds be paid during this period.
8. CURTAILMENT
If You are forced to return home early, we cannot refund the cost of any travel arrangements You have not used. If You cut short Your Travel Package and return home early in circumstances where You have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided, we will not offer You any refund for that part of Your Travel Package not completed, or be liable for any associated costs You may incur. Depending on the circumstances, Your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.
9. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING
If You wish to change any part of Your Travel Package after the confirmation invoice has been issued, You must inform us via email at customerservice@snowbombing.com as soon as possible. This should be done by the first named person on the booking. Whilst we will do our best to assist, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet Your requested change.
Administration fees: Name Change £30 per person | Accommodation change £30 per booking | Date change £30 per booking | Transport change £15 per person | Change to Optional Extras £15 per extra.
Certain Travel Packages may not be amended or transferred after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the Travel Package.
10. TRANSFER OF BOOKING
If any member of Your party is prevented from travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else (introduced by You and satisfying all the conditions applicable to the Travel Package) providing we are notified not less than 7 days before departure and You pay the amendment fees stipulated at clause 8, meet all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers and the transferee agrees to these Conditions. You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If You are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out in clause 10 will apply.
11. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR BOOKING BEFORE DEPARTURE
If You or any other member of Your party decides to cancel Your confirmed Travel Package booking You must notify us in writing. Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us at customerservice@snowbombing.com and will be effective from the date on which we receive it. Should one or more members of your party cancel, it may increase the per person Travel Package price of those still travelling and you will be liable to pay this increase. You will have to pay the cancellation charges as follows:
• 91 days or more before departure: Deposit only.
• 90 days or less before departure: 100% of total booking cost.
• For wristband only bookings, from point of purchase: 100% of total booking cost.
Booking fees, insurance premiums and amendments charges are not refundable in any circumstances.
Cancellation by You due to Unavoidable & Extraordinary Circumstances: You have the right to cancel your confirmed Travel Package before departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of "unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances" occurring at your Travel Package destination or its immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the Travel Package. In these circumstances, we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advises against travel to your destination or its immediate vicinity.
12. IF WE CHANGE OR CANCEL
We may occasionally have to make changes or cancel Your booking and we reserve the right to do so at any time. If we make an insignificant change to Your Travel Package, we will make reasonable efforts to inform You as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before Your departure but we will have no liability to You. Examples of insignificant changes include change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard or changes to performance times, venues, performers and artists.
We will not cancel Your Travel Package less than 60 days before Your departure date, except for reasons of Force Majeure or failure by You to pay the final balance. We may cancel Your Travel Package before this date if, e.g., the minimum number of customers required for a particular package is not reached.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell You as soon as possible and offer You the choice of: accepting the changed arrangements; or having a refund of all monies paid; or accepting an offer of an alternative travel package of comparable or higher standard (at no extra cost); or accepting an alternative travel package of a lower standard, with a refund of the price difference.
Compensation: If we cancel Your Travel Package less than 60 days before departure, we will pay You compensation as follows: 90 days or more notice: £0.00. 89–61 days notice: £10.00 per person. 60–31 days notice: £20.00 per person. 30 days or less notice: £30.00 per person.
13. FORCE MAJEURE
We will not be liable or pay You compensation if our contractual obligations to You for the provision of the Travel Package are affected by "Force Majeure". For the purposes of these Conditions, Force Majeure means any event beyond our or our supplier's control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as epidemics and pandemics, the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely.
Brexit: Certain travel arrangements may be affected as a result of the UK's decision to leave the EU. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to visa requirements. We would treat any such changes as Force Majeure.
14–16. SPECIAL REQUESTS, DISABILITIES, COMPLAINTS
Special requests: Any special requests must be advised to us at the time of booking and confirmed in writing. We cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part unless the request has been specifically confirmed by us. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met.
Disabilities and medical problems: We will do our utmost to cater for any special requirements You may have. If You or any member of Your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect Your booking, please provide us with full details before You make Your booking so that we can try to advise You as to the suitability of Your chosen Travel Package. You may be required to produce a doctor's certificate certifying that You are fit to participate.
Complaints: If You have a problem during Your trip, please inform the relevant supplier immediately who will endeavour to put things right. If Your complaint is not resolved locally, please inform customer services immediately at customerservice@snowbombing.com.

17. OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an "organiser" under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, as set out below and as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of the travel services specifically included in your package, as set out in your Booking Confirmation.
We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any personal injury or death unless you are able to prove that it was caused by our negligence or the negligence of our suppliers.
We will not be responsible or pay You compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim if it results from: the acts and/or omissions of the person affected; the acts and/or omissions of a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unavoidable and extraordinary; or Force Majeure.
We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay You. Loss of and/or damage to luggage or personal possessions: the maximum is an amount equivalent to the excess on Your insurance policy. Claims not involving injury, illness or death: up to three (3) times the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total.
Claims in respect of international travel by air, sea and rail, or any stay in a hotel are limited as if we were a carrier under the appropriate Conventions (Warsaw/Montreal, Athens, Berne/Cotif, Paris).
18–22. EXCURSIONS, INSOLVENCY, PASSPORTS, SUPPLIERS, PROMPT ASSISTANCE
Excursions: Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your contracted arrangements with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion.

Passport, visa, immigration & health: It is Your responsibility to check and fulfil the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements applicable to Your Travel Package. Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 6 months after your return date.

Conditions of suppliers: Many of the services which make up Your Travel Package are provided by independent suppliers in accordance with their own terms and conditions which will form part of Your contract with us. Some of these terms may limit or exclude the supplier's liability to You, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions.
Prompt assistance: If, whilst you are away, you find yourself in difficulty, we will offer prompt assistance as appropriate including information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and assistance with distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements. Where assistance is not owing to any failure by us, we will not be liable for the costs of alternative arrangements.

Delays and missed transport: If you or any member of your party misses any transport arrangement, it is cancelled or you are subject to a delay of over 3 hours for any reason, you must contact us and transport supplier concerned immediately.
Damages: We reserve the right to charge you for the full cost of any malicious damage you cause if it exceeds the amount of deposit held by the hotel.
Behaviour: All our customers are expected to conduct themselves in an orderly and acceptable manner and not to disrupt the enjoyment of others. If in our opinion or in the opinion of any hotel manager, coach driver or any other person in authority, Your behaviour or that of any member of Your party is causing or is likely to cause distress, danger or annoyance to any other customers or any third party, or damage to property, or to cause a delay or diversion to transportation, We reserve the right to terminate Your booking with us immediately. In the event of such termination our liability to You and/or Your party will cease and You and/or Your party will be required to leave your accommodation or other arrangements immediately. No refunds for lost accommodation or any other arrangements will be made. You and/or Your party may also be required to pay for loss and/or damage caused by Your actions and We will hold You and each member of Your party jointly and individually liable for any damage or losses caused by You or any member of Your party.
