Terms & Conditions

1. This contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions which are governed by English law and both parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of the English courts.

2. Anemone Holidays is operated by Anemone Travel & Holidays Ltd. We are committed to a policy of fair trading and make every effort to ensure that you have an enjoyable holiday with us. Our booking conditions have been formulated as a result of our responsibilities under law and in no way affect your statutory rights as a customer.

3. YOUR RESERVATION
All your bookings are made and accepted subject to the terms set out in these conditions. When you or your travel agent instructs us to confirm your booking, we will do so immediately, and you must pay your deposit at that time. An invoice will automatically be raised and sent to you on receipt of booking forms and monies due, and will include any appropriate holiday insurance premium if required. In case of telephone bookings within 56 days from departure an invoice will be sent even though written instructions or booking form may not be received by us.

4. BOOKING AND PAYMENT
The person in whose name the booking is invoiced acts on behalf of all other persons named on it and becomes primarily responsible to us for all payments in respect of the booking. Your reservation will be made definite upon payment of a minimum deposit of £125.00 per person. In many cases this maybe the full air fare (ie. Advance purchase /Apex tickets) need to be purchased within 24hours. This type of fare can reduce the overall price of the holiday. When this procedure is implemented, an  additional £30.00 per person deposit for the accommodation will be required. For cruise bookings a £30.00 per person will be required. It is a condition of booking that you are adequately insured on your holiday. We allow 7 days from confirmation of the booking for monies to reach us. If we do not actually receive/collect the money within this period, our computer will automatically cancel your reservation and we disclaim any responsibility and we cannot be held responsible if that holiday is subsequently not available. The full balance of the holiday cost must be received by us (not any other agent) at least 12 weeks before the departure date – please note that you will not receive a reminder that final payment is due. You should pay the balance 12 weeks before departure otherwise our computer will cancel your booking. Your deposit will be forfeited and you will be liable to pay cancellation charges as shown in the section titled “Cancellation by You”. When you make your booking through a travel agent” they hold these payments as our agents at all times. Payment to your agent however does not mean we receive the money within the time limit referred to above unless we otherwise agree with you in writing.In the case of internet bookings the appropriate payment must be made at the time of booking and is non refundable.

5. LATE BOOKINGS
For all bookings made within 12 weeks of departure, the holiday is confirmed as soon as a verbal confirmation is given over the telephone and therefore if you subsequently cancel your booking, cancellation charges as shown in condition under “Cancellation by You” apply. Full payment for the holiday, including insurance premiums must be made at the time of the booking in order to secure the reservation.

6. OUR PRICE GUARANTEE/SURCHARGES
The prices shown in our Confirmation/Invoice are based on the cost per person for the holiday as booked.

This must be accompanied by a payment of £25 per person to cover administration costs. However no guarantee is given that the changes will be made.

If such building works are sufficiently close to your booked accommodation to cause disturbance we shall advise you wherever possible. Please bear in mind, however, that we are not in anyway responsible for the commencement of such works and we have no way of either preventing such works from commencing or controlling the extent of building work and noise levels. Please be as understanding as possible as the developers will do their best to reduce any inconvenience as far as possible.

Kitchen facilities vary but self catering has at least a fridge, gas/electric rings OR cooker. NB. Cookers may not be adequate to provide a typical British roast, except in the case of Greek Holidays where all is more simple and basic.

However, there may be occasions where the room is angled or the sea partially obscured, (especially on low floors) by trees, vegetation or new construction.

39. HOLIDAY QUESTIONNAIRES
At the end of your holiday we will give you a short questionnaire,which will be sent to our head office where each one is read. These questionnaires help us to continually improve our product for the future and your co-operation in completing them would be much appreciated. Thank you!

40. BROCHURE DESCRIPTIONS
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of descriptions and information contained in this brochure. However, we are not always able to exercise day to day control over all the component parts of the holiday arrangements, and it is always possible that an advertised amenity may be withdrawn, or changed due to weather conditions, for the purpose of energy or water conservation, lack of demand, or for maintenance, renovation, etc. For example, swimming pools are sometimes emptied or air conditioning may be restricted in hours of operation. Full summer facilities, especially those depending on weather conditions or number of guests, are not always available early or late in the season which is reflected in lower prices. We will advise you if we become aware of a major change, but cannot accept liability for loss of an advertised amenity unless caused by negligence on the part of our own employees. All distances given in all accommodation and resort description are only approximate.

41. ACCOMMODATION STANDARDS
We offer an exceptionally wide choice of hotels and apartments, all of which have been inspected and chosen for  their suitability, but clearly their standard will vary according to price and type. Where a classification or category is shown, this denotes the official grading given to the hotel or apartment by the appropriate Authority. We accept no liability whatsoever for the actual accommodation standards and or services available.

42. SELF CATERING ACCOMMODATION
Our Cyprus apartments are purpose-built to provide holiday accommodation of a high standard. Many are, in effect, aparthotels with all the amenities of a hotel such as a swimming pool, restaurant, bar, etc. Although they all have kitchen equipment, the cooking facilities do not always include ovens as most people are not looking for full self catering but a more relaxed, flexible arrangement – preparing breakfasts, salad lunches, etc, but taking their main meal of the day in a restaurant or taverna of their choice. Not all apartments include bath towels, so it is advisable to take your own, similarly beach towels are never included. Please note that some apartments although they have full cooking facilities they do offer breakfast or other meals for their guests.

43. AIR CONDITIONING
Air conditioning is normally provided at all hotels and this is so indicated in the description of each hotel. The hours and times of operation per day are at the discretion of the individual Hotel Manager and can, therefore, vary from hotel to hotel. In the ease of apartments, air conditioning is not always provided but this is indicated under the price panel, i.e. where air conditioning is included in the basic price of the holiday or is a supplementary cost which can be requested in the UK at a time of booking but paid for locally, this is indicated in the Apartments price list. Similarly the price list shows when air conditioning is not available.

44. HOTEL MEALS
The price of Half Board and Full Board referred to in our price panels are much lower than the ones charged directly by the hotel, and are only valid when they form part of the holiday package. It is a condition of the hotel that these meals are booked and paid for the total number of nights of stay, in spite of the fact that a meal may be lost, either on the first day of arrival or the last night of departure, due to inconvenient flight times, therefore no refund can be claimed for such loss of a meal. Sometimes, however, some hotels arrange for a cold dish in the room or at the cafeteria. Please check with reception on arrival. Some hotels have early meal facilities for children under l2 and this is normally available on request. Other hotels make it obligatory for children to have an early meal and children are not allowed in the restaurant with adults after a certain time. Again we suggest you check this point on arrival.

45. HOTEL AND APARTMENT ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation of hotels is rented from 12 noon one day, till 12 noon the next day. So, please consider your times of departure before you book your nights at the resort. If you do not plan properly, you may have to wait to get you room on arrival or you may be forced to vacate the room and wait to catch your flight. To avoid inconvenience, you may need to buy an extra night,

46. CONSUMER PROTECTION ATOL 3577
“Your Financial Protection

When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong”.

“We , or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency , an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you).
