Changes made by Exclusivity Ltd
Exclusivity will not cancel your booking unless it is necessary to do so as a result of force majeure or if the client failed to pay the invoice balance. In the unlikely event we have to cancel the vacation we will offer another tour of at least a similar standard or a refund of all monies within 14 days of your decision not to accept the alternative offered. Whilst every effort is made by Exclusivity to ensure the accuracy of our descriptions of service, accommodation and information provided, the company is not always able to control all elements of the tour and it is possible that facilities may be withdrawn or changed due to weather conditions or maintenance beyond our control. Exclusivity will advise the client of any major changes they are aware of.
Force Majeure
Exclusivity will not be liable for additional expenses incurred through travel delay, Acts of God, or events beyond our control. Force majeure constitutes any unusual or unforeseeable events which are beyond our control such as war or the threat of it, riots, civil unrest, terrorist activities, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fires or adverse weather conditions.
Price Guarantee
We reserve the right to increase or decrease our prices at any time. If you accept the price of your tour as quoted at the time of booking and pay the full amount, that price is guaranteed against any further price rises. If you decide not to take advantage of this scheme, the client can pay their 25% deposit and the final 75% may reflect any price increases as a result of currency or fuel price fluctuation. Exclusivity will absorb the first 5% . If the increase exceeds 10% of the total holiday cost the client will be entitled to a full refund.
