booking terms and conditions

holiday booking terms + conditions

All the holidays advertised by us or promoted by third parties are sold subject to the following Booking Conditions.

booking procedure

(a) On making a booking with us, each person accepts the terms of these Booking Conditions.
(b) If the booking is made 10 or more weeks in advance of the departure date, payment of a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total cost of the holiday per person will be due upon receipt of an invoice from us. Where a deposit has been paid, a final invoice will be sent to you approximately 12 weeks before your departure date and payment of the balance of the price of the holiday will become due 10 weeks prior to your departure date. If the balance of the price of your holiday is not paid in time, we reserve the right to cancel your holiday, retain your deposit and apply the Cancellation Charge set out below.
(c) For bookings made within 10 weeks of the date of departure, the full payment will become due immediately upon verbal confirmation of the booking. Once payment has been made any subsequent cancellation will incur Cancellation Charges as set out below..
(d) Your booking is considered definite and a contract will exist between you and triyoga holidays when a letter of confirmation has been sent to you. No contract will exist between us prior to our issuing the confirmation letter.
(e) We reserve the right to increase the prices published prior to the time that you book your holiday. Any increase in price will be advised to you before you book the holiday.

surcharges

If there is an increase in transportation costs due, taxis or fees chargeable for services and the exchange rate applicable to your travel arrangements we reserve the right to increase the price of your travel arrangements to allow for this variation.No price increase will be made within 30 days of your departure date. We will absorb any increase which equals 2% or less of the cost of your travel arrangements. If the surcharge is more than 10% on the previously confirmed and invoiced holiday price you will be entitled to cancel your holiday and we will refund all money paid less any premium paid for insurance and any amendment charges.

holiday prices

Our holiday prices include accommodation, airport transfers if you travel by the suggested flights, all meals, and all group yoga classes, unless stated differently in your booking confirmation letter.Our prices exclude flights, travel insurance, tips, massages, excursions, transfers from airport with flights other than those we have suggested (unless otherwise stated).

cancellation by you

You (or any member of your party) may cancel your holiday at any time providing that the cancellation is made by the person submitting the booking form and is communicated to us in writing. Cancellation will take effect the day such notification is received by us. As this incurs administrative costs, we will retain your deposit and, in addition, may apply cancellation charges up to the maximum shown below:-

Days Before Departure Cancellation Charge
70 days or more 75% of holiday cost
Less than 30 days 100% of holiday cost

Once your holiday has commenced, no refund or part refund or unused portion of your holiday will be repaid in the event of cancellation by you. If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of an Insurance Policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges.There will be no refund available from us for your flight costs.

insurance + health  

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU HAVE FULL TRAVEL INSURANCE TO COVER MEDICAL EXPENSES AND PERSONAL BELONGINGS.

We have arranged suitable public liability insurance that will cover you for all the activities we have arranged during your holiday. You need to have your own travel insurance and provide us with those details in case of emergency. You should also check with your doctor that you are sufficiently fit and healthy to undertake yoga classes and any other physical activity we have arranged or you may arrange during your holiday. If you experience any injury or discomfort during any activity organised for you, then you must stop immediately and advise your holiday host accordingly.

amendments by you

If, after your deposit payment has been credited to our account, you wish to change any part of your holiday arrangements, or wish to change departure date, we will do our utmost to make the changes, provided that notification is received in writing at our offices from the person who made the booking, at least 10 weeks before departure. There is also an amendment fee payable of £150 per person. Please bear in mind that we currently operate a select number of trips each year and can only offer places on one of the other trips when places are available. We will endeavour to change your flight bookings but, depending on the airline, this may not be possible and you may need to purchase new tickets. We are not able to offer any refund if your tickets are not able to be changed. If there is a charge by the airline for changing your tickets, we will need to take payment from you in order to cover such additional costs.

amendments or cancellations by us

It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your holiday, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, changes may have to be made (e.g., to itineraries, venue accommodation, yoga teacher or other arrangements), which we reserve the right to do at any time. Changes are normally minor and we will advise you at the earliest possible date. If your accommodation has to be changed, we will do our utmost to provide accommodation of a similar rating. If a significant change becomes necessary, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. Should a significant change occur, then provided that it does not arise through circumstances amounting to force majeure (see below), you will have the choice of either accepting the change of arrangements, booking another holiday with us, or cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund. If you choose another holiday that is more expensive you must pay any difference, but if it is cheaper we will make the appropriate refund. In all cases, we will pay compensation as detailed below:

Period before Departure within
which a major change is notified to you		 Compensation per person
Up to 56 days Nil
56-29 days £10
28-15 days £20
14-1 days £30
Day of departure £40

Important Notes

(a) Compensation payments will not apply if payment of your holiday has not been received by us by the stipulated payment date.
(b) Compensation will not be paid if we are forced to cancel or in any way change your holiday due to war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, technical or maintenance problems with transport, or other circumstances which amount to force majeure.We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday, in which case we will offer a refund in full of all monies paid.
