Terms and Conditions

Booking Terms and Conditions

Please read the following terms and conditions carefully. You must not accept any booking unless you understand and agree with the following terms and conditions.

Prices:

All prices are subject to availability and can be withdrawn or varied without notice.

Cancellation Fees:

We are unable to provide a refund to you until we receive the funds from the relevant supplier.

Cancelled bookings will incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Fees will also apply where a booking is changed or tickets are re-issued.

Where we incur any liability for a cancellation fee or charge for any booking which you cancel, you agree to indemnify us for the amount of that fee or charge.

Deposit and Final Payment:

We require a minimum deposit of $400 per person with each booking. Your service provider will require further deposits. All deposits are non-refundable. Final payment is required no later than 2 months prior to departure unless otherwise stated on your invoice. Some airfares or services must be paid in full at the time of booking.

Credit Card Transactions and Payment by Cheque:

Credit card surcharges of 2% for Visa, MasterCard and 3.5% for American Express and Diners Club will apply when paying by credit card. If for any reason any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against that provider, and not against Honeymoon Planners. In the event that payment has been made to Honeymoon Planners by credit card, you agree that you will not seek to charge back your payment to Honeymoon Planners.

Where you pay by cheque, you agree not to stop payment of the cheque even when you cancel a booking. You agree that we may apply the proceeds of the cheque to satisfy any liability you have to us, including any liability in respect of cancellation fees, before refunding the balance to you.

Taxes:

Certain taxes are mandatory in all countries. There may also be an additional local tax charged at some airports. All taxes are subject to change without notice.

Travel Insurance:

Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for all overseas travel. Financial product advice in this document has been prepared without taking into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Because of that you should, before acting on it, consider the appropriateness of it having regard to your objectives, financial situation or needs. You should obtain a Product Disclosure Statement relating to the product and consider the statement before making any decision about whether to acquire the product.

Please complete your travel insurance form, sign it and return it to our office.

We cannot issue your insurance until this form is provided regardless of whether payment has been made.

Agency:

Honeymoon Planners acts as a travel agent only. We sell various travel related products on behalf of numerous transport, accommodation and other wholesale service providers, such as airlines, coach, rail and cruise line operators. Honeymoon Planners' obligation is to make travel bookings on your behalf and to arrange relevant contracts between you and travel service providers. We have no responsibility for these services nor do we make or give any warranty or representation regarding their standard. All bookings are made subject to the terms and conditions and limitations of liability imposed by these service providers and conditions of carriage of the carrier. Your legal recourse is against the specific provider and not Honeymoon Planners. If for any reason, any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted your remedy lies against the provider and not with Honeymoon Planners.

Liability:

We do not accept any liability of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of third party providers over whom we have no direct control. Under circumstances where liability cannot be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased travel arrangements. We do not accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any injury, damage, loss (including consequential loss), delay, additional expense or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by force majeure or any other event which is beyond our control which is not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part.

Conditions of Carriage:

The contract of carriage between you (the passenger) and the issuing airline is governed by applicable law and by the issuing airline's Conditions of Carriage, which you can consult on issuing airline's website. Please note that, in accordance with Conditions of Carriage, your ticket will not be accepted and it will lose its validity unless you use all its coupons in booking date sequence. Please ask us for more details.

Special Requirements:

Please advise your consultant of any special requirements you may have, for example, special meals, medical requirements and so on.

Frequent Flyer:

Please advise your consultant of your frequent flyer details. Your consultant will pass these details on to the relevant supplier but cannot guarantee that the supplier will credit points for your booking. Please retain all boarding passes to allow verification of your travel if required.

Travel Advice:

For travel advice please contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or visit their website at www.smartraveller.gov.au

Passports & Visas:

It is your (the passanger) responsibility to ensure that you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. All travelers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least 6 months validity from the date of entry. If you need information regarding visa and other travel document requirements for your trip please let us know. We can obtain such information from an external visa advisory service provider on your behalf. We do not warrant the accuracy of such information and accept no liability for any loss or damage which you may suffer in reliance on it. We can obtain visas for you if you wish and fees may apply for this service.

Travel Documents:

Travel documents include (without limitation) airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation and/or amendment fees. All travel documents are non transferable. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder, some carriers will deny carriage if the name varies and the booking may be cancelled. Any errors in names on your documentation will be your responsibility if not advised at the time of booking. It is your responsibility to collect all travel documents from us prior to travel. As a general rule your travel documents will be available for collection 2 weeks prior to departure, however this will depend on your individual arrangements.

Please contact your consultant the day before collection to confirm that the travel documents are ready for collection.

Health:

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation.
