We've
tried to make the information contained in our website
as accurate as possible, but it is provided 'as is' and
we accept no responsibility for any loss, injury or inconvenience
sustained by anyone resulting from this information. You
should verify critical information like visas, health and
safety, customs and transportation with the relevant authorities
before you travel. Certainly you should also advise us
of anything with regard to your booking which you feel
is not 'the norm' - for example: If you are under
25 or over 70 years of age, if your licence has been suspended,
you plan to travel to travel to Eastern Europe, Africa,
Alaska, Mexico etc.
It is the responsibility of the travel agent or the client
to ensure all details contained on our invoice are as required
and all terms and conditions are accepted. As
we are only 'human', we do reserve the right to correct any errors in rates,
duration, additional fees or any invoiced variables quoted or invoiced that
may be found to be incorrect or have been altered by the supplier after confirmation. If
this does occur, we do apologise and we will offer you some form of compensation
by way of apology.
Refunds:
Under normal conditions,
no refund will be made on any unused product. We do always recommend
clients take travel insurance which could cover them for cancellation. We
even offer travel insurance at a discounted rate because we really do not
want you to be out of pocket. Having said that, we will try and get
cancellation fees reduced in extraordinary circumstances. Please do
note that employees of our suppliers are not always aware of the terms and
conditions agreed upon by their head office and therefore cannot accurately
advise you of the refund policy.
Visae
and Passports:
Please note that it is
your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct visa, that your passport
is valid and that you have the correct innoculations etc.
Exchange
Rates:
As all our products are
foreign currency based, we do reserve the right to adjust the exchange rate
to the prevailing rate on the day you are paying your balance. Once
you have paid in full, your rate is locked in. We are not responsible for
any exchange rate fluctuations between the time when paying a security bond
and it being refunded to you.
We
are also not responsible for the exchange rate charged
to you by your credit card company. Please also note that
any indication we give as 'approximate' is just that -
approximate - as the final rate you get charged is determined
by your credit card company and they generally mark up
the exchange rate by a few percentage points. .
Fees:
We offer the first amendment
free (except where our principals impose a fee which we have to pass on to
you). However, if vouchers need to be re-issued, there will be a $30
amendment fee. If you make a last minute booking where we have to Express Mail
documents to you or overseas, we will pass on the mailing cost to you.
Price Match and Price Beat Guarantee:
We will price match
any written quotation and give you 10% of the difference. We do require
a copy of the quotation or a website where we can verify the amount quoted.
If
the quote is emailed, we do reserve the right to verify
the figures (we have been 'stung' by some people who have
falsified figures). If we
find an error has been made the Price Beat Guarantee will not apply.
Once a booking has been accepted and deposit the price
is locked in. Price beat/match
no longer applies.
Payment:
We welcome : Direct
deposit into our bank Trust Account, cheque, money order. We accept your
credit card for your deposit without surcharge but pass on a 1% surcharge
to you for the balance. Therefore if you wish to increase your deposit
amount, you may. If you are paying by credit card, we will need you to complete
a credit card form which needs to be faxed or mailed to us with a copy of your
drivers licence or passport.
Liability:
Aus and NZ Travel
and its staff shall not be liable for accident, damage,
injury, delay or irregularity, loss, additional expense or liability
occasioned to any generality of the foregoing, either due to the act, neglect
or otherwise from acts of God, breakdown in machinery or equipment, force
majeure, wars whether declared or otherwise, riots, strikes, insurrections,
theft, epidemics, quarantine, medical, custom or other regulations, dissatisfaction
with any service provided and inaccuracy or misdescription contained
in the brochure / website to which these terms and conditions relate, delays
and cancellations or changes in itinerary or schedules or over booking,
improper or any act, neglect, default or otherwise of the service providers,
their servants or agents or any other person.
This
agreement is governed in all respects by the law of the
state of Victoria and any legal action arising under this
agreement shall be litigated only in the appropriate Court
having jurisdiction in that State.
Supplier
Rental Agreements:
As
we act as a booking agent for various
suppliers, please note that you/your
booking is subject to their overall
terms and agreement / booking conditions.
If you require a copy of the agreement
before making your reservation, we
will be happy to obtain a copy for
you.
Cancellation
/ Amendment Fees:
These
take effect the minute we reserve
the motorhome on your behalf. Fees
can be up to 100% depending on when
you cancel or amend. Amendments where
possible are accommodated free of
charge but when a supplier charges
us a fee, we do pass that on to you.
We always recommend that clients
take out travel insurance to cover
these costs. If you would like the
cancellation / amendment fees for
any specific product, please let
us know and we will be happy to provide
them.
Flex
Rates:
An
increasing number of companies now
use Flex Rates. When a booking is
made under Flex conditions the price
is only locked in when a deposit
is paid. Once a booking is firm,
should you need to amend the dates,
we look at the current flex rate
and the new flex rate applicable
and the higher of the two flex rates
applies to the amendment.
Vehicle
Specifications:
With motorhomes -
floor plans and specifications are intended as a guide. All companies can
not guarantee exact specifications as vehicles are continually upgraded
and replaced throughout the year. Motorhomes are confirmed by 'group' or
'category' and there can be various layouts within the same group. If you
book a 4 berth, you will receive a 4 berth but it could comprise 2 doubles
or 1 double and 2 singles etc. You could receive a larger number of beds
but you will never receive a lesser number of beds than ordered.
With car rentals - cars are confirmed by group
only and no specific make or model is guaranteed unless specifically
mentioned.
All
Terms and Conditions are Subject to change without
notice
