Blackpool Breaks & Breaks2Go Terms and Conditions
CANCELLATION COVER
We strongly advise that you purchase Cancellation Cover for only £10 per adult (£20 on Christmas and New Year breaks). There are no excluded medical conditions, and this cover is ideal for guarding against unforeseen circumstances such as illness, hospital appointments etc. Cancellation Cover is valid until 24 hours before departure time, and ensures that only your deposit is lost in the event of cancellation. No refunds will be issued in the event of no shows or cancellations made 24 hours or less before departure time, with or without cover. Please note, deposits are non-refundable, therefore the first £40pp (or deposit) on any booking is retained in the event of cancellation, with or without cover. Cancellation Cover allows you to make one change to your booking free of charge, with no admin fee. Admin fees will apply for changes made to a booking without cancellation cover. Children are covered free of charge when adults purchase cover. Not available on self-catering packages. Cancellation Cover must be purchased at time of booking or within 7 days of booking.
CHANGES BY US
Sometimes it may be necessary at short notice to make changes to a tour. If a hotel change is involved, we will endeavour to offer you a similar standard hotel and keep you informed of any changes. Occasionally we may have to alter timings, routes, itineraries or excursions (examples include but are not limited to: cancelling an excursion due to bad weather or other event out-with our control); if this is necessary then inconvenience will be kept to a minimum. No compensation will be payable in the event of any necessary changes made by us.
CANCELLATION BY US
In some cases, if the number of passengers booked on a tour is below the required minimum, we have no option but to cancel the tour. In this instance, we will notify you at least 14 days before the departure date, or, if the tour is cancelled due to unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, we will notify you as soon as possible. We will offer a full refund or the option to transfer to another tour. Compensation is not payable in the event of us cancelling a tour where the number of people booked on the tour does not reach the required minimum or for unforeseeable circumstances out with our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised by us.
