We will have no liability to pay compensation to you for any failure to properly perform the holiday contract, where the failure is attributable to you. Examples would be that any member of your party is unable to travel for medical reasons, or fails to take his/her passport with him/her or a passport which meets the requirements of the country(ies) of the holiday (some countries require you to have at least 6 months validity on your passport from the date on which you leave that country), or to get a required visa or health certificate, or to check in early enough to catch the flight or to turn up in time for an excursion/activity for whatever reason, or mislays or loses holiday documentation, or is reasonably excluded by a supplier because of misconduct or medical reasons, or is not provided with a holiday service because of an error in the information given by you. We will have no liability to pay compensation to you for any failure to properly perform the holiday contract, where the failure is: 1) attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the holiday services, and which was unforeseeable or unavoidable; 2) due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised: 3) due to an event which we, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall.

You must ensure that your passport and travel documentation is in order and that you have obtained the necessary visa and all other requirements for your Travel Arrangements. Should you require assistance on this matter, we will be pleased to make recommendations. We will not be held responsible for you travelling without the correct travel documents.
It is a condition of booking that you and everyone in your party are adequately insured for the full duration of the holiday in respect of illness (including COVID-19), injury, death, loss of baggage and personal items, cancellation and curtailment. The choice of insurer is the sole discretion of you.
