  (a) these General Terms and Conditions;

  (b) Product Terms;

  (c) Other Terms and Conditions imposed by us in relation to specific Services; and

  (d) Beloved Home Travel Privacy Statement.

  1.2 References to "us", "we" and/or "our" in these General Terms and Conditions shall mean The Beloved Home (International) Travel Agency Company Limited (Travel Agent Licence No.354491).

2. Services

  2.1 Our services include but not limited to (“Services”):

  (a) holidays, travel arrangement and hotel Booking services which provide the facility for you to purchase by making a Booking for:

  (i) travel-related goods and services offered by us to you from airlines, hotels and other third-party travel services providers (collectively referred to as “Travel Service Providers”); and

  (ii) Packages of such travel-related goods and services as stated in 2.1 (a) (i).

  (b) payment processing, administration and/or ticketing services.

  2.2 In addition to this Agreement, Travel Service Providers may impose their own terms and conditions in relation to their travel products (referred to as “Product Terms”) (for example, an airline's terms of carriage, hotel cancellation policy etc). Where applicable, you must read and agree to those Product Terms to complete your Booking. You should read the Product Terms specific to the applicable Travel Product before completing your Booking.

3. Accuracy of Information & Advertising Prices

  3.1 The information published on our Websites may change from time to time. Changes can also occur after website content is published – for example, hotels might withdraw facilities due to maintenance or bad weather, building work might start, or some services/activities might not be available at the start or end of the holiday season. If we are made aware of any significant changes, we include updates on our website and Booking system so you will receive the latest information when you book.

  3.2 All prices can change (up or down) at any time before a Booking is made. Prices on our web site and on our Booking system are updated daily. Mistakes or computer errors occasionally occur, so if any price on our Website or Booking system is obviously wrong, then any Booking made based on that price will not be valid, and we will be entitled to cancel it and give you a full refund, unless you want to pay the correct price.

  3.3 Unless otherwise provided, prices quoted are exclusive of any taxes, levies, surcharges and are subject to change at any time until full payment is received and tickets issued and we reserve the right to correct any pricing errors or omissions. Prices are per person unless otherwise stated.

4. Booking Payment and Changes

  4.1 A Service Booking is not confirmed until we issue a confirmation of Booking. Some travel and accommodation arrangements are only available on an ‘on request’ basis and we can’t confirm these until we receive confirmation from our Travel Service Providers. Any arrangements that are provisionally booked "on request" are not confirmed or guaranteed and are subject to change (including price) until we receive confirmation from our Travel Service Providers. This particularly applies when Booking holidays with flights on a scheduled airline a long time before departure, when seats have not yet been loaded onto reservations systems by the airline. It also applies to Bookings attempted online which are not immediately confirmed by us by email confirmation.

  4.2 The person who instructs us to make the Booking, who completes the Booking online or by telephone is the "Booking Person". He or she must be 18 years of age or over at the time of Booking.  The Booking Person is the person who is entering into the contract with us. By making a Booking, the Booking Person is agreeing to these terms and conditions on his or her own behalf and any other persons travelling on the Booking.. The Booking Person is the person responsible for payment of the total cost of the Booking, including any insurance premiums, and any cancellation or amendment charges that may be payable – even if any of the other people travelling on the Booking fail to pay their share of the price. The Booking Person agrees to provide all those who are named as passengers on the Booking with accurate and full information regarding the travel arrangements booked, including any changes made to those arrangements by us or the Booking Person, and confirms that all those named passengers, including any that may be added at a later date, agree to be named on the Booking and agree to be bound by these Booking conditions. When a Booking has been confirmed by us, only the Booking Person can cancel or amend the Booking for those Booking which allow cancellation or amendment.

  4.3 You must make your payment on or before the payment due date as advised by us.  If you do not pay on time, we have the right to cancel your Booking and to retain or make cancellation charge in accordance with these terms and conditions.

  4.4 If you have a special request for something that is not automatically part of your Booking (e.g. quiet room, low floor room, vegan meal on the flight, etc), please make the request at the time of Booking. We will pass your request on to the relevant Travel Service Providers to ask if they can provide what you want. Special requests are not guaranteed to be met – even if we have made a note of your request to us. That just means we have received the request and have passed it on to the Travel Service Providers. We will not pay compensation for failing to meet a special request. When you make a special request, you agree that any personal data you provide including sensitive personal data, has to be passed to the relevant Travel Service Providers to fulfill that request, and you consent to this happening.

  4.5 If you want to change your travel arrangements after issued of Confirmation of Booking before you travel, we will try to help but we cannot guarantee it will always be possible, because changes are subject to availability at the time and to the Travel Service Provider's terms and conditions. If we can make the change you ask for, you will have to pay for any additional services, facilities, or other items you request at the price which applies on the day the change is made. We may apply an amendment charge for each person on the Booking and for each items you want to change, such amendment charge will be provided by us from time to time (if any).

  4.6 Unless we stated otherwise in writing or in accordance with Product Terms, Travel Services are 100% non-refundable.  This applies to all voluntary cancellations including but not limited to cancellations arising from a change in personal circumstances, such as the in ability to travel on medical ground.  However, in certain circumstances where the Booking can be cancelled, it may incur a cancellation charge of 100% regardless of the period of notification.  Fees and charges will apply when where a Booking is changed after issued of Confirmation of Booking.  Fees and charges will also apply when tickets are re-issued.  If 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 such fee or charge.

5. Confirmation of Booking

  5.1 Once you have booked with us, either via the Website or by phone, we will send you a confirmation email itinerary to the email address you have provided to us when making the Booking. Please check the details on your confirmation of Booking and if anything does not appear to be right, you must contact us immediately.  We cannot accept any responsibility if we are not notified of any inaccuracies of any document within 7 days of issue.  We will do our best to rectify any inaccuracies notified outside these time limits.  However, you will be responsible for any costs and expenses involved in doing so except where we made the mistake. 

6. Payment by Credit Card

  6.1 If, after making your Booking, your card payment is declined for any reason, we will cancel your Booking as soon as we become aware.

  6.2 Please make sure that you have supplied us with the correct credit card billing information.  If you do not supply the correct credit billing address and/or cardholder information, the issue of your tickets may be delayed and the overall cost may increase.  We do reserve the right to cancel tickets after issue if payment is declined or if you have supplied incorrect credit card information.
