We make all possible efforts to secure services from reputed suppliers for you so that you can travel safely and securely and you get best value for money. Our individual customized tours are known as 'FLEXIHOL'. We also sell travel related products designed and operated by Third Parties. All our products are sold subject to these Terms and Conditions and How to Book rules (collectively referred to as "Terms and Conditions" for the sake of brevity) and the contract between the Client and us shall be governed by the same. In the event of the Client booking through us, any third party tours or travel products or services, the Terms and Conditions specified by such Tour Operator, including their payment schedule, cancellation, refund, rules and regulations etc. shall be applicable, in addition to our Terms and Conditions. In order to avoid any misunderstanding kindly read the Tour Brochure, the Price Grid, the Booking Form and the Terms and Conditions carefully.

Brochures are printed several months in advance and the description of the services mentioned in the brochure, are as normally available and as accurate as possible. However, we do not have direct control over the suppliers as we are Tour Operators and do not own any hotels, airlines, restaurants, railways, cruises or coaches. Circumstances beyond our control like major road works, traffic congestions, weather conditions, fairs, festivals, sport events, political / religious gatherings, strikes, change of management / closure of hotels / restaurants, over booking of hotels / flights, cancellation / re-routing of flights or railway, closure of / restricted entry at a place of sight seeing may result in changes in the services / itineraries. Therefore, we reserve absolute right to alter, amend, change or modify the Tour Package, Itineraries, Tour Schedule, Travel Plan, Tour arrangements and sightseeing mentioned in the Brochure. Where we may know of these changes sufficiently in advance we will notify you. There are also very big Fairs and Exhibitions and events lasting up to 2 weeks or even more, where all the hotels are fully booked several years ahead eg. Eurocup, Olympics etc. In such cases, the applicable cancellation charges levied by third party suppliers such as hotels, cruises, airlines are 100%, which are payable by you. Every effort is made to avoid such dates, but in the few instances where it is unavoidable, it may be necessary to stay in hotels in other cities. (This would be advised at the time of booking). We request your co-operation where such changes are made. No complaints or grievances in this regard would be entertained either during the tour or after the tour has concluded. Photos of meals / hotel rooms / transportation / sightseeing / properties published in the brochure are only for reference and may differ from the actual meal served / sights etc. Distance, Exchange Rate, Visa regulations and temperatures mentioned in the brochure are approximate or may vary.

In case the alternate arrangements made are materially superior as compared to the ones described in the Brochure, we reserve the right to charge extra for the same anytime.

Please refer to the relevant section in the price grid. For FlexiHol, all services will be as per those specified / confirmed and paid for as per the Invoices and Service Vouchers. If you avail any service which is not included in the Holiday package or get yourself upgraded then the payment for the same will have to be cleared by you directly. Please note that, porterage, tips, gratuities, room service, laundry, excess baggage charge, a la carte meals, alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, paid toilets etc are not included unless specifically mentioned as included in the Brochure or Price Grid.

Client traveling by air will be subject to the airline restrictions / limitations on baggage weight / size / number from time to time. Traditionally, each airline allows their customers to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a pocket book, backpack or laptop bag. The dimensions of which should not exceed 115 linear cms and weight should not exceed 7 kgs.

Currently, the airline restriction is 20 kgs for economy class on flights to all destinations except U.S. and Canada where a person may carry 2 pieces of checked in baggage and one hand bag. Furthermore, baggage is not included for internal flights in USA. One needs to pay for every piece of baggage checked in. The charges vary from US $ 25 to US $ 35 per bag. Please check with your sales staff for correct details.

We are not liable, in any manner, if you are unable to carry any baggage or if you have to pay any extra-charges due to restrictions imposed by the airline. You shall be liable to pay all such charges directly to the airline. Also, we are not liable for any loss or damage to baggage while it is in the custody of the airline.

The table below gives a general overview of the general baggage allowance for a full service airline. Baggage allowance is based on a Weight or Piece (number of bags) concept. Please note that every airline has a different set of rules and regulations regarding the weight restrictions and furthermore, airlines keep changing the rules quite frequently. Hence, you are requested to please check the updated baggage rules of the individual airlines, with whom the ticket is booked.

As porterage is not included in the tour price and due to limited space for luggage in the coach, we recommend that you carry one single suitcase per person of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height) preferably with wheels for sake of convenience. All baggage and personal effects are at all times and in all circumstances the responsibility of the Client. Please be careful to ensure that cameras, binoculars, musical instruments, mobile phones, credit cards, ornaments, traveler's cheques, currency notes, travel documents should never be left unattended in the hotel, restaurant, aircraft, coach or any other mode of transportation, at the place of amusement / sightseeing and / or at the railway station. Similarly the aforesaid items should not be kept in the checked-in baggage. If you misplace or lose any moveable property we will not be in any way responsible and / or liable. We may not be in a position to assist and / or lodge a complaint with the authorities.

It is advisable that the tour participants carry their valuables on their person at all times. If Safe Deposit Lockers are available, the tour participants should avail the facility at their own risks and liability. This facility may be additionally charged by the hotel, which will have to be directly paid by the client to the hotel. If the Safe Deposit facility is not available, the tour participants must take all necessary precautions in protecting their valuables as the Company / service providers /company's representatives shall not be liable for any loss of valuables or for making good such loss.

Tipping is customary (unless otherwise stated in the brochure) in all parts of the world for services rendered (e.g. porters, coach drivers, guides etc). Your Sales advisor will guide you in this regard.

This is a measure to ensure your safety and time discipline. Clients will have to strictly adhere to the prescribed timetable for the day. Please adhere to time discipline so that scheduled sightseeing is not missed due to your actions. In case any sightseeing or services are missed due to your default the same will be non-refundable. Tour Participants are requested to strictly follow the time schedule given at all times including the departure time from the hotel, sightseeing places, etc.

If availed of meal option on a Flexihol holiday, there are pre-set menus provided by the restaurant. We, however, reserve the right to change the meal arrangement, where circumstances compel us to do so. Unlike an airline, we cannot process for a special meal, diet meal etc. nor can we guarantee a special diet for customers if applicable. In the event that the Client wakes up late and misses breakfast and in the event that the Client is out on his own and reaches late and misses meals, then no claim can be made by him for the meal which he has missed and not utilized.

We suggest you take your holiday spending money partly in currency, partly in travelers cheques or Travel Currency Card. Travellers cheques are a safe way to carry money as they are easily encashed for a small service fee and can be replaced if they are stolen or lost, provided you have the lost travellers cheque numbers and the counterfoil subject to American Express being satisfied with the genuineness of the claim. Alternatively, you can take a Travel Currency Card, which is by far the safest way to carry money and make payments.

Keeping in mind the itinerary, we take great care to select the locations of hotels, which are chosen both for their comfort and value for money. Due to conventions and trade fairs, Olympics etc in the cities the hotels may be blocked out more than 2 years in advance. In view of this, you may have to stay in hotels further away from the cities and itineraries may have to be amended / altered. All hotels are twin bedded (in Europe) and in keeping with European standards are comparatively small. Single rooms are much smaller than twin-bedded rooms. A double room has a queen-size bed and a twin room has two separate beds. Requests for double rooms will be subject to availability and in cases when a double is not available, we will provide you with a twin room.

We recommend a maximum of only three persons in one room. Triple rooms are usually no larger then twin rooms and the third bed is often a rollaway bed or cot placed in a twin room. Modern facilities such as attached toilets with showers / bathtubs are provided. General check in time is usually 2 p.m. and check out time is usually 11 a.m., early check-in and late check-out is subject to availability unless pre-paid and booked in advance.

In case of a passenger booking on a single basis, will have to pay single room supplement.

Any damage caused to the hotel property by you will have be paid by you directly to the hotel and we would not be responsible and / or liable for the same.

It is expressed and given to understand that a child below 12 years of age who is booked on the tour paying the special rate without a bed will not be provided with a bed in the hotel while on the tour under any circumstances unless a supplement is paid. In case the Client decides to make any change in the rooming while on the tour then they shall be bound to pay additional amount charged to them by the concerned Hotel directly to the Hotel.

These conditions are applicable to every Client of the Company, who books a Brochure Tour or any Special Tour or travel arrangement. In the event of a Client booking through us a Tour or Tour Arrangement of any other Tour Operators like Carnival Cruises, Cosmos, Globus tours, Star Cruise etc., the 'Terms and Conditions' specified by such Tour Operator, including their payment schedule, cancellation, refund, rules and regulations etc. shall be applicable, in addition to our 'Terms and Conditions' while determining the contractual relation between the Client, the Tour Operator and us.

The Client shall read the same as well as the 'Terms and Conditions' and the 'Booking Conditions' carefully before filling and signing the Booking Form.

There is no contract between the Company and the Client until the Company has received the appropriate non-refundable deposit. The full payment must be received in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Brochure under the heading "HOW TO BOOK". If not paid in that time, the Company reserves the right to cancel the booking with the consequent loss of deposit and apply the scale of cancellation charges as mentioned in the "HOW TO BOOK" section.

The Company has the right at any time and for any reason

• To terminate the Contract after acceptance of deposit but prior to the commencement of the Holiday without assigning any reason whatsoever. In the event, the Company terminates the Contract, the Company may refund the amount of deposit to the client without payment of any interest after deducting actual expenses incurred on the booking like visa charges, travel insurance, retention charges of overseas suppliers, ticket voiding charge etc.
• To amend, alter, vary or withdraw any tour, holiday excursion or facility it has advertised or published or to substitute an independent Contractor of similar class, if it is deemed advisable or necessary. In either case, the Company shall not be liable for any demand, additional expense or consequential loss suffered by the clients or for any compensation claim.

It shall be solely the Clients' responsibility to hold valid and genuine travel documents and statutory clearances, to be able to travel on the Holiday, such as passports, visas, confirmed air-tickets, insurance and medical insurance certificates and other statutory certificates including immigration clearance etc. In any case, your Passport must be valid for at least six months subsequent to the scheduled date of return of the Holiday. Please note that guest travelling to Malaysia should have a valid passport for at least nine months subsequent to the scheduled date of return of the holiday.

In the event the application for the visa made by any Client or the Company on behalf of the Client is rejected by the concerned Embassy or Authorities due to inadequate documents furnished by the applicant or due to any other reason whatsoever, the Company shall not be liable or responsible for the same. The visa fee includes the actual visa charge, cost of processing fees, professional charges, and overheads. All cost, charges in respect of the said application for the visa shall be borne by the Client and the non-refundable deposit paid by the client shall be forfeited and no claim whatsoever shall be made for the same. UK and USA visa will have to be obtained by the Client directly, however the Company can only assist in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by clients. Certain consulates / embassies may call the clients for personal interviews and / or biometrics,

As granting or rejecting visas and immigration clearance is the sole prerogative of the concerned sovereign governments and the Company is only a facilitator, the Operator shall neither be responsible in case of non-granting of such documents nor liable for any delay, denial or other related act / omission or for any loss, expense, damage or cost resulting there from. The position in respect of cancellation of the tour by the Client due to non-availability of travel documents would not change only by virtue of the Client having applied for such documents through the Operator. Even if the visas are rejected, the stipulated fees of the Operator shall be payable by the Client. There will be no refund, if the Client, or any member of his party, is unable to travel due to the said reasons.

We would not be responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport. The documents forwarded by you for visa purpose are sent by us to the concerned Embassy / Consulate by third parties and hence we would not be liable for loss of your documents. We would however, make best attempts to trace your documents or assist you in obtaining alternative / certified copies of the lost documents.

In the event that a client is unable to travel on the Holiday date originally booked by him / her, due to rejection of visas by the concerned Embassy, the said client shall have the option to postpone his / her holiday to any other future date or choose any other holiday destination subject to cancellation charges of the previous holiday. However, if the client books and pays within the cancellation period and is unable to travel due to any reason whatsoever including non-availability of visas or any travel documents, the cancellation policy will apply.
