3. Booking through an Organiser
If you have booked your holiday through one of our authorized organisers, they will be responsible for making bookings and changes on your behalf. However, please note that the contract for your holiday will be between the organiser and the travel provider.
4. Organiser-Booked Holidays:
When an organiser books a holiday on your behalf and at your request using their payment method, the contract will be between the organiser and the holiday provider. This may be necessary if you are unable to book the holiday yourself due to health or other reasons. You must provide the organiser with all necessary information before they can proceed with the booking.
The organiser incurs administrative and processing costs when making bookings, handling changes, and processing refunds for member holidays. Holiday companies all have differing fees for any changes made to any booking. Costs vary from company to company and hotel to hotel.
These costs may include but are not limited to fees associated with reservation systems, communication expenses, and their time. Such costs will be deducted from any refund issued to the member. You agree to these terms when you engage the organiser to make arrangements on your behalf.
5.Understanding Group Bookings With Elite Friendship Club Holidays:
At Elite Friendship Club, we take pride in organising exciting group holidays that allow our members to explore new destinations while enjoying great company. Our goal is to have as many members as possible join these fantastic experiences, creating wonderful shared memories.
However, it is important to note that group numbers may fluctuate due to circumstances beyond our control. While we aim to maintain steady participation, unforeseen changes can occur. In some cases, numbers may increase as more members express interest, while in others, they may decline. A decline can happen for various reasons, including unexpected health-related appointments or illness that prevents members from attending.
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility when these changes arise. The Elite Friendship Club management team works hard to ensure that each trip runs smoothly, regardless of the number of attendees. Your support helps us continue offering enjoyable and fulfilling holiday experiences for all.
6.Tour Leaders on Elite Friendship Club Holidays:
Elite Friendship Club strives to provide well-organised and enjoyable trips for all our members. While we do our best to appoint a Tour Leader for each organised holiday, there may be occasions when this is not possible.
Due to time constraints, specific tour restrictions, or unforeseen health-related circumstances, a Tour Leader may not always be available. When this happens, we sincerely apologise and understand that it may be disappointing. Unfortunately, in some cases, we may not be able to provide advance notice of these changes.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation in such situations and remain committed to ensuring your holiday experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Thank you for being a valued part of the Elite Friendship Club.
