In the following terms & conditions, "H&T", "we", "our" and "us" refers to Hungary and Thirsty Tours. The words "you" and "your" refers to the person making the booking and "group" refers to you and all the people travelling with you. It is assumed that you are the main contact for the group and that all correspondence will take place between you and us.

BOOKING
When making a booking with us, you must send us details of your group numbers, dates and activities and pay the required deposit. Your contract with H&T shall not come into existence until we issue you with our confirmation e-mail or invoice that confirms the receipt of your deposit. By making a booking with us, it is assumed that acceptance of these terms & conditions is understood. As the person making the booking, it is your responsibility for making all parties in your group aware of these conditions.

DEPOSIT
A deposit of 25% of the total cost of the booking is required. Reservations cannot be confirmed until receipt of this deposit. If the deposit is not paid in time it may not be possible to proceed with your selected itinerary. Once we have confirmed the booking to you and we have either received full payment or payment of a deposit, confirmation of reservation will be forwarded to you. We accept payment by cheque or bank transfer. Payment can only be made by the person making the booking, or someone nominated as group leader. Individual payments cannot be accepted.

FINAL PAYMENT
We require the outstanding balance 42 days before the date of travel. We accept payment by cheque or bank transfer. Payment can only be made by the person making the booking, or someone nominated as group leader. Individual payments cannot be accepted.

PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
You may decide to book additional activities for inclusion in your itinerary. In some cases, these can be paid for in cash on arrival in Hungary. In this case, we require the entire amount to be given to our representative on the day of arrival. Individual payments cannot be accepted. This payment must be in one currency only (either Hungarian forint or sterling). If you particularly wish to complete a payment in forint, we can advise on current exchange rates in Hungary. If you do choose to bring forint bought in the UK, bear in mind that any price calculations we make will be based on the current exchange rate in Hungary. For certain activities, a refundable cash deposit will be required.

PRICING
We will quote the price for your selected itinerary at the time you make your reservation. Package prices quoted are based on a minimum group number, with one transfer from airport to accommodation and one transfer from accommodation to airport. Smaller groups, and groups requiring extra transfers, will be subject to a surcharge, based on the group number. The price of your package can only be guaranteed if full payment is made before there is any major currency fluctuation. We reserve the right however to lower or raise our prices at any time before the booking is accepted.

CHANGES MADE BY YOU
If, after our confirmation has been issued, you wish to alter your itinerary arrangements in any way we will do our best to help providing that we receive written notification from the person who made the booking no less than 28 days before the original departure date. Please note that if the number of persons in a booking changes, the coach travel and any other costs may be recalculated on the basis of the amended party size.

CANCELLATION BY YOU
You may cancel your booking at any time. Written notification from the person who made the booking must be received by us. Cancellation of booking is subject to charges as detailed below.
Less than 7 days from Date of Travel (DOT) = 100%
Between 28 and 7 days from DOT = 50%
More than 28 days from DOT = 25%

CHANGES MADE BY US
We may be planning your itinerary arrangements many months in advance, and although it is very unlikely, it may sometimes be necessary for us to make amendments to your booking. We reserve the right to change any supplier at any moment, where we believe levels of service or value are not being upheld, or for any other reason. Whilst we accept no responsibility for a host team cancelling their fixture, in the unlikely event of this occurring, we will do everything possible to find suitable alternative opposition. Although we will always try to advise you of these minor changes before you depart, we face no obligation to do so. Force majeure: Compensation will not be payable if we are forced to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way for reasons of war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions or other circumstances relating to force majeure.

TERMINATION OF CONTRACT By booking with us you undertake to behave in an orderly manner and not to disrupt the enjoyment of third parties on holiday with you, nor to do anything to bring the reputation of H&T into disrepute, for example causing danger, or damage to property. If you breach this clause your contract with us will be terminated with immediate effect and we will have no further contractual obligation to you. H&T will be entitled to recover from the offending party and/or the person who signed the booking form compensation for any damage caused.

LIABILITY
We accept no responsibility for the acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents and suppliers. In all cases, you must first seek compensation from the primary supplier (Hotel or Activity provider). Our liability in all cases shall be limited to a maximum of the price of your itinerary arrangements. We accept no liability for injury caused through sporting or other activities. We accept no liability for any accident that occurs while any of your group is under the influence of drink or drugs. In some cases persons in your group may have to sign disclaimer forms before commencing certain activities.

PERSONAL INJURY UNCONNECTED WITH YOUR BOOKED ITINERARY ARRANGEMENTS
If you, or any member of you party, suffer death, illness, or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of your package itinerary arrangements or an excursion arranged through us, we shall at our discretion, offer advice, guidance and assistance to help you in resolving any claim which you may have against a third party, provided we are advised of the incident within 90 days of its occurrence.
