CTA Holidays Ltd  - Terms and conditions

Please read these booking conditions carefully as they form the

basis of the contract between CTA Holidays Limited as the tour operator and yourself as the client, and set out our  obligations to you and yours to us.

CTA Holidays Limited also known as Cyprus Turkish Airlines

Holidays is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cyprus Turkish Airlines Limited, trading as Kibris Turkish Airlines.

PAYMENT

A deposit of £75 per person must be paid and sent with a

completed, signed booking form together with the appropriate insurance premium if required. On receipt of your booking form we will issue a confirmation invoice as soon as your full itinerary is confirmed. The total cost of your holiday is payable to us no later than 8 weeks prior to departure. If the balance remains unpaid after this date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain the deposit paid.

Any money paid by a customer to a travel agent in respect of a booking with CTA Holidays is held by the agent on behalf of CTA Holidays.

LATE BOOKINGS

Bookings received by us 8 weeks or less prior to departure

are deemed to be late bookings. When you make a definite

booking through your travel agent or by telephone directly to us, you must pay the total cost of the booking at that time.

Should you subsequently cancel the reservation made you will be subject to cancellation charges detailed in “Cancellation by the Client”. A late booking may be accepted by us either by

telephone or by the issuance of a confirmation invoice.

ALTERATION BY THE CLIENT

CTA Holidays and its agents will do their utmost , but cannot

guarantee to comply with any request for alteration to a booking.

An amendment fee of £30 per person will be applied.

Please note that any amendment made after tickets have been issued will be treated as a cancellation and will attract a minimum charge of £207 per person.

CANCELLATION BY THE CLIENT

Cancellation of your holiday must be notified to us in writing.

The cancellation charges depend upon when your written

notice is received and will be levied as follows.

More than 42 days

prior to departure deposit only

29 - 42 days 45%

15 - 28 days 75%

7 - 14 days 90%

Less than 7 days 100%

CANCELLATION OR ALTERATION BY THE

COMPANY

The company reserves the right to modify or cancel any holiday,

flight schedule, accommodation or other arrangements,

in the event that the holiday chosen by the customer cannot be provided for any reason. If the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph occur before the customer’s departure, the company undertakes to offer the customer alternative arrangements, or, if this is not acceptable, a full refund of all monies paid. We plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance and although it is unlikely that we have to make any changes to confirmed arrangements, it does occasionally happen. Most changes are of a minor nature and we will advise you (or your travel agent) at the earliest possible date. Should we have to cancel a tour, holiday or other travel arrangements as a result of hostilities, political unrest, or other circumstances amounting to force majeure, we shall inform you

or your travel agent without delay and shall offer the choice

of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard, if

available, or a prompt and full refund of all monies paid. Any

such refunds shall be sent to agents within 10 clear days and

to direct clients within 14 clear days. Should we be forced to cancel your holiday for any reason other than force majeure or non payment of outstanding balance, the company, in addition to refunding all monies paid, will pay compensation as per the table in the following paragraph
IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY

If a major change becomes necessary, we will inform you or

your travel agent as soon as is reasonably possible if there is

time before your departure. A major change is one that we

make to your holiday arrangements before departure that

involves changing your airport(s) except Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Gatwick, resort area or time of departure or return by more than 12 hours, or offering accommodation with a lower rating. You then have a choice of either:

A. Accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you.

B. Purchasing another available holiday from us.

C. Cancelling your holiday.

 

If you choose A or B, we will pay compensation on the scale

shown below. If you choose C, we will refund all money paid

to us plus compensation on the scale shown below. However,

in no case will we pay compensation if the change is due to an

event listed in “Important Notice” below.

CONDITIONS OF CARRIAGE

that carrier will apply, some of which may limit liability. The

conditions of carriage of that carrier are incorporated into this

contract. You may ask for copies of the relevant conditions of

carriage from our offices.

COMPLAINTS

We or our local agents have personally inspected all of the

properties featured in our brochure and the information given

is supplied by them and is believed to be correct at the time

of printing. However, since this brochure is prepared many

months in advance it is possible that some features may

change. Should you have any cause for complaint, please bring

it to the attention of the Hotel Manager or our representative

who will deal with it on the spot. If the matter cannot

be resolved during your stay, then please notify us in writing

within 30 days of your return to the UK.

ARBITRATION

Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract

which cannot be resolved amicably, may (if the customer so

wishes), be referred to arbitration under a special scheme

which, though devised by arrangements with the Association

of British Travel Agents (ABTA), is administered quite independently

by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme

provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration

of documents alone with restricted liability on the customer

in respect of costs. Should you elect to seek redress under this

scheme, written notice requesting arbitration under the scheme

must be made within 9 months after the scheduled date of

return from the holiday.
