1.1 You must be at least 18 years old at the time the purchase of our Holiday Finder service is made.
1.2 You agree to abide by the terms or conditions of purchase imposed by the supplier who has responsibility for your booking, including, but not limited to, payment of all amounts when due and compliance with all rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products or services. Special rules and restrictions may apply to a fare, product or service selected by you. You understand that any violation of any such supplier’s conditions of purchase may result in cancellation of your reservation(s) or purchase, in your being denied access to any flights, hotels or automobiles, in your forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation(s) or purchase.
1.3 You shall be completely responsible for all charges and taxes arising from the use of this site and the purchase of Holiday Finder products. You’re advised to book your holiday within 24 hours after receiving a quote as prices are subject to change. If a booking isn’t made within the 24-hour guideline we will provide reasonable assistance in your holiday booking but can’t be held liable for the changes in price. You agree to use our service with this risk in mind. We will revise all quotes if prices change within a 24-hour window after you have been sent the quote.
1.4 The booking links we provide in our Holiday Finder PDF recommendation guides are links to third party booking websites. Although we do our best to pick reputable websites, it is your responsibility to do your own research on the recommended websites and the contract you enter into is with the third party website as per their own terms and conditions. We cannot be held liable for any booking errors or negative holiday experiences associated with our recommendation.
1.5 We conduct our Holiday Finder service via email. It is your responsibility as a customer to ensure that you have access to and provide us with a valid email address to receive your quote. If for any reason you don’t see our email within 24 hours after we send it to you, we will act with reasonable powers to renew your quote but you are ultimately liable for reading and acting upon our email when we have completed our service to you.
- Our Status
2.1 Please note that we operate as an intermediary between you and the third party suppliers featured or linked to on our website/email. Any resulting legal contract in respect of any bookings made through our website is between you and the third party supplier concerned, and is subject to the terms and conditions of that third party supplier. You should carefully review their terms and conditions before entering into a contract with them (available from us on request).
2.2 We cannot give any undertaking, that products you purchase from third party sellers or from companies to whose website we have provided a link on our site, will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are disclaimed by us absolutely. This disclaimer does not affect your statutory rights against the third party supplier.
2.2 We make every effort to provide you with the best prices available at the time when quoting via our Holiday Finder service, however prices are subject to change at short notice so quotes are only valid a short amount of time. We’d advise on booking within 24 hours to claim these prices. If prices change within 24 hours of your receiving your quote, we’ll happily revise your quote and update your travel options.
2.3 We aim to provide your Holiday Finder quote within 48 hours after you submit your booking and make payment. If for whatever reason we fail to provide your holiday quote within this time, you qualify for a full refund, which you may or may not accept.

- Travel Destinations Risks

We urge passengers to review any travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by The Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice Unit (please see here https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice) prior to booking travel to national and international destinations. It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of all recommended vaccinations and health precautions in good time before departure. Details are available from your GP surgery and from the National Travel Health Network and Centre http://travelhealthpro.org.uk/. Information on health abroad is also available on http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/TravelHealth/Pages/Travelhealthhome.aspx. Holidays in the EU/EEA you should obtain an EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) prior to departure from http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad/EHIC/Pages/about-the-ehic.aspx. An EHIC is not a substitute for travel insurance. Vaccination and other health requirements/recommendations are subject to change at any time for any destination. Please therefore check with a doctor or clinic no more than 6 weeks before your departure date to ensure that you’re safe to travel to your destination and have received the necessary information.
