1 Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions govern the contract between you and Us to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions, save for those implied by law, and no variation to these terms and conditions shall be valid unless in writing and signed by you and the company director.

2 Formation of Contract
No contract shall arise between you and Us until we have received the deposit payable and we have sent to you written confirmation of our acceptance of your booking.

3. Lead Name

The lead name on any booking with Us accepts the full responsibility of collecting the full balance payable for the booking and indemnifies Release Promotions against any loss from individual failing to pay within your group. The lead name of the group is also responsible for ensuring that all group members are aware they are bound by our Terms and Conditions.  The lead name is also responsible for the completion of a Group Booking Form on behalf of all persons on the booking and returning this to us. It is understood that those booking via email or telephone agree to, and accept our Terms and Conditions without having signed a Group Booking Form.

4. Payment & Deposits

Deposits are payable at the time of booking and the balance of payments are split into the following phases:

An agreed non-refundable non-transferable deposit is payable at time of booking.

A second non-refundable non-transferable deposit of 25% of the total price is due up to a maximum of thirty-five days (five weeks) after receipt of initial deposit.

The final balance is to be paid no less than forty-two days (six weeks) before the date upon which your event is due to start. Failure to pay by this date will result in a £10.00 per person late payment charge.

If you do not make your deposit payments by the due dates given then you shall be deemed to have cancelled the event.

Deposits are used by Us to enter into the contractual arrangements on your behalf and are non refundable. Payments can be made with a valid Credit Card or Debit Card. Payments can also be made by post in the form of Cheque made payable to Release Travel where upon receipt we will endeavour to place the booking for you at the same price, although this cannot be guaranteed. We will however notify you should there be an increase in price. If a promised cheque is not received or does not clear upon presentation we hold the right to cancel the reservation. Non-clearing or returned unpaid cheques will incur a £25.00 transaction charge. All Credit & Debit cards are subject to a 4% surcharge to the total cost of each transaction.

5. Cancellation by Us
We may cancel the event or any part of it:
for safety reasons if we or our supplier(s) regard adverse weather conditions or other safety concerns as unacceptable and which cannot reasonably be overcome; If we reasonably believe that you may cause harm or damage to our reputation or to the reputation of our suppliers or to property belonging to our suppliers; If supplier or suppliers is or are unable to host the event for any reason; If changes you wish to make to the booking mean it is uneconomical or impractical to hold the event. If we cancel the whole of the event we shall use our best endeavours to rearrange the event on a mutually convent date, or provide a refund to you of the cost to us of the event. Save as above we shall be under no further liability to you for cancellation of the event or any part of it.

6. Cancellation by You

You may cancel your booking within a period of 7 days after the initial deposit. This excludes all bookings where either the secondary deposits or final payments are for bookings travelling within a forty-two day period from the date of the initial deposit being taken. After this point the following applies; you may cancel the event as a whole and must pay us a cancellation fee. If you cancel the booking we will not refund any deposits paid to us. The cancellation of your booking must be made in writing and from the lead name of the group. The amount of the cancellation fee is calculated according to the date on which we receive written notice of your wish to cancel; if you cancel with Us more than 5 weeks in advance of the travel date, then the cancellation fee is a minimum of 25% of the total cost of the booking or up to the total value being held. If you cancel with Us within 5 weeks of the travel date, then the cancellation fee is 100% of the total cost of the booking.

7 Failure to Provide an Event

If, due to reasons beyond our control, an event is unable to take place due to (but without limitation); closure of premises, the ceases of trading, a change in  supplier management, we will provide you and your group with an alternative event and if this is does not prove possible, a refund to you of the cost to us of the event.

8 Accommodation

If your booking includes accommodation, the named accommodation will remain confidential to Release Promotions and only be disclosed to you upon receipt of the 25% per person deposit. The room types we use for your booking can be of single, twin, triple, quad, or dormitory style with shared or ensuite bathroom facilities. The location of the accommodation we book is deemed centrally located at our discretion. If you are unhappy with the location of the accommodation, we shall endeavour to move your booking to a more suitable accommodation and you will be liable for any cancellation fees that apply to this move along with any increase in price for the new accommodation and a £25.00 administration charge.

9 Meals

Breakfast is not included with accommodation bookings unless otherwise stated. The type of breakfast you will receive will be as stated on your itinerary that is despatched to you once final balance has been made. Restaurant meals may require a pre-order to be completed by the lead name of the group. This should be completed and returned to us, or the venue as required. If a pre-order has not been completed, we accept no liability for meals not provided or delays in providing the meals for you. We will endeavour to meet any specialist dietary requests for any member of your group, but can not guarantee these requests. We accept no liability if our suppliers are unable to meet these requests in advance, or once at the venue.

10 Alterations + Surcharges Applied By Us
If due to circumstances beyond our control it becomes necessary to substitute alternative accommodation, of which may be a higher or lower standard, or make any other alterations to the event we shall inform you of the changes as soon as possible. You must pay any additional cost due to such changes. If the changes are, in the view of Release Promotions, so substantial as to materially alter the event and you are unwilling to accept them then you may cancel the event and we will give a refund of the cost of the event to us. Surcharges may be applicable where an event requires a minimum number of participants to proceed, and the group does not meet this minimum number. This could lead to the cancellation of the event of which we are not held responsible and alternatives may be offered of an equal or greater value. If this value is greater, then you must pay Us the difference in price. If the final number of a group is an odd number, then a single supplement surcharge will apply if the booking includes accommodation or an event which is number dependant.

11 Alterations made by You
We shall try to accommodate any reasonable changes you wish to make to the event. Alterations and amendment requests should be made with Us and not end suppliers and should be made by in writing to us. These changes shall not be deemed accepted until we have confirmed in writing to you. If you wish to increase or decrease the number of persons participating in the event you may do this up to six weeks prior to the date upon which your event is due to start. Amendments after that date will incur our administration charge of £50.00 per person. Changes such as arrival / departure dates and destination changes will also be subject to our administration charges. We cannot guarantee that the change to the price will be pro-rata, but will depend upon the arrangements we are able to make with our suppliers. Subject to our written agreement you may transfer your booking to a person who satisfies all the conditions applicable to the event.

12 Your Obligations
You shall at all times behave in a safe, responsible and courteous manner; comply with all instructions; regulations and codes of practice issued by Us or our suppliers; ensure that you comply with all age restrictions imposed by our suppliers; ensure that you comply with all arrival times, and dress appropriately for the event. If you breach these obligations we may cancel or curtail the event or any part of it and in those circumstances you shall not be entitled to any refund.
