OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Reservation Of Your Holiday:
When we receive your request for booking for a particular holiday, we allocate the holiday to you, subject to availability, and issue a confirmation/invoice.
SkiTheWorld.net.au Price Guarantee:
All prices in this brochure are based in A$ and were calculated in April 2008. We guarantee that whatever happens to the value of the A$ in 2008 we will endeavour to maintain the level of your holiday price to the best of our ability. Should costs related to suppliers' charges change, it may be necessary for us to make a surcharge on the price of your holiday. If this means paying more than 10% on the initial tour price, you will be entitled to cancel your holiday within 7 days of notification, with a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges levied by us before the notification of change. However, we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of your holiday price before making an increase. Rail Services will incur a 100% cancellation fee once booking is confirmed as per supplier's instructions.
If We Change Your Booking:
Should circumstances beyond our control dictate, we reserve the right to make amendments to your holiday and will inform you about these as soon as they arise. Should it be necessary to cancel your booking, we will offer an alternative from our website. If this is not available or suitable to you, we will refund all monies paid by you. We cannot, however, accept responsibility for changes or cancellations due to "force majeure" – threat of war, political unrest, fire, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters or any other such circumstance beyond our control. In such instances we will refund all monies, less reasonable expenses incurred by our organisations.
