BOOKING CONDITIONS FOR DAY TRIPS & SHORT BREAKS 1. Your contract when making a booking is with Coach Trips From London Ltd. This contract is subject to the following terms and conditions which are subject to English law and jurisdiction. Before submitting a booking for a day trip, short break, holiday or other event you are required to read these conditions and be aware of them as they are legally binding on the person making the booking and on any other persons included in that booking. 2. Bookings are accepted subject to availability. Early booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. 3. Persons with special needs are required to make these known at the time of booking. Wheelchairs of the folding type can be accepted on trips but the company needs to be told in advance if you are bringing one. Motorised mobility vehicles cannot be accepted as they tend to be very heavy. Coach drivers cannot be asked to lift them into the coach boot because of their excessive weight. 4. You must be ready to depart at the departure time that has been given to you. If you are not ready at this time the coach drivers are authorised not to wait for you in fairness to other passengers. The same rule applies to the homeward journey and to intermediate stops. We advise you to be ready to depart 5 minutes ahead of the time you have been given. 5. You may not play a CD, DVD or MP3 player or radio on the vehicle unless you use headphones and its operation is totally silent. Nor must hot snacks or hot meals be consumed. 6. Seat belts must be fastened at all times when the vehicle is moving. This is a legal requirement. 7. If you need to cancel a booking you have made please notify the booking office immediately. Refunds are not allowed but you can transfer your ticket(s) to other persons if you wish but their names must be supplied in advance. 8. The company reserves the right to cancel a trip, short break or holiday if insufficient bookings are received to make it financially viable. In this event a full refund of monies paid will be made. No compensation can be paid in repect of disappointment, inconvenience or consequential financial loss. 9. The company cannot accept responsibility for passengers’ possessions that are left on vehicles. Anything left on vehicles will always be at the owner’s risk. 10. The company reserves the right to terminate a passenger’s trip, short break or holiday in the event of any unreason- able conduct which, in its opinion, is likely to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to other passengers. Upon such refusal or termination the company’s responsibility for your trip, short break or holiday ceases. The company will be under no obligation whatsoeever for any refund, compensation or loss you may incur. If buying goods abroad then duty free allowance must not be exceeded. Nor must you ask other passengers to carry goods on your behalf through customs. 11. Coach Trips From London Ltd. is not a vehicle owner or operator. Vehicles used on its day trips, short breaks and holidays are hired from coach operators who are well established in this type of activity. If people carriers or taxis are used as feeder vehicles they will be hired from licensed operators. 12. Please take care at all times when boarding and alighting from vehicles, and when crossing roads as this is sometimes necessary. Similarly, when entering buildings and negotiating steps, stairways and corridors. The company does not accept responsibility for accidents unless the company is proven to be negligent. 13. If you have a complaint regarding the execution of a day trip, short break or holiday please submit details of your complaint in writing to Graham Jenkins, the company’s administrator, at 2 Wood End Gardens, Northolt UB5 4QH within 10 days of your trip. Please note that the company cannot accept responsibility for any events which are out- side of its control such as traffic congestion, closed roads, industrial action or vehicles supplied by contractors breaking down or arriving late unless Coach Trips From London Ltd. is proven to be negligent. If a day trip is abandoned because it is impossible to reach the intended destination due to gridlocked roads, closed roads or severe delays at ferry ports then passengers will be returned to their starting points and given free place(s) when the trip is re-run at a later date. The decision to abandon a trip will be taken by the company and this decision must be respected by the passengers affected.
