The validity dates for redemption of your Voucher and travel periods are outlined on your Voucher and cannot be used and will not be honoured past these dates, unless express written consent is received from us. If you have not booked your holiday before the expiry date of your Voucher, the Voucher will automatically lapse and you will no longer be entitled to book a holiday. Any money back guarantee, if offered, will be outlined on your Voucher or in the terms and conditions of the Group Buying site you purchased from, after this has expired your Voucher is non-refundable. You agree that you will not have any claim against us if this occurs

3. When you contact us to make your booking, we will endeavour to book and confirm all components of your package within 3 business days of receiving your booking details. Should we not be able to confirm any component we will contact you with an alternative within this period.
4. Your Voucher cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or promotion.
5. Your Voucher is transferable but cannot be used to gain financial advantage through being sold, scalped, auctioned, raffled, pledged, redeemed for cash, or promoted as an incentive or reward by any third party as an inducement for any person or other entity to enter into any commercial arrangements with a third party. If your Voucher has been obtained through any of these methods, it will not be honoured.
6. All bookings and enquiries must be made by calling 1300 652 618 for deals including flights, 1300 885 570 for land only deals or online at the relevant group buying travel website specific to your holiday promotion. All rates are quoted in Australian Dollars unless otherwise stated.
7. Availability of accommodation and flights are displayed on the group buying website where the deal is being promoted. Your booking is subject to the availability of the actual rooms provided by the resort and/or seats provided by the participating airline. Some packages utilise low cost airlines and the package price is reliant on us booking their promotional fare. Should this not be available, or the traveller wishes to secure an alternative flight or airline, any difference in price must be paid by the traveller. At our absolute discretion we reserve the right to upgrade any flight booked to either a direct service or full service airline and we guarantee that should we need to change your flight that you’re travelling dates will remain as booked. Each promotional offer is limited to a certain number of customers. We secure more than the required allocation of rooms and airline seats (where full service airlines are used) for each promotional offer, however there is no certainty that your preferred rooms and airline seats will be available on any given day. You acknowledge that booking available rooms and airline seats is on a "first come first served" basis. You agree that you shall have no claim against us if your preferred dates are not available.
8. Your accommodation sleeps 2 guests, unless stated otherwise. Where necessary extra guests or children will incur a charge for additional bedding and flights where offered. Further details can be provided online at the relevant group buying travel website specific to your holiday promotion or on request by contacting us on 1300 652 618 for deals including flights or 1300 885 570 for land only deals.
9. Travel extras - Your initial payment of the holiday entitles you to a Voucher which enables you to have access to the related travel package offered. Only customers that have purchased a Voucher can book a holiday. If you require additional nights, additional guests, transfers etc to that entitled by your Voucher, payment is required upon confirmation of your requested extras.
10. Payment can be made by cheque, money order, bank transfer or with the following credit cards - Visa, MasterCard, (a 1.5% credit card surcharge will apply) or Diners Club, Amex (a 3% credit card surcharge will apply).

If you believe there are compassionate or other extenuating circumstances as to why you have cancelled your holiday, please advise us and we may, in our absolute discretion, offer you an ex gratia partial refund. In the limited circumstances where you are not able to proceed with your booked holiday as a result of the insolvency of a service provider, we will refund to you any amount which you have paid to us and which we have not already paid (or are not legally obliged to pay) on your behalf to service providers. In that case, you agree that we shall be entitled to retain a booking fee applicable to your booking (a minimum of $200 per person) which is a reasonable remuneration for the services that we have provided and is a reasonable estimate of the expenses incurred by us in advertising, facilitating and booking your holiday.

The insurance should cover loss of deposit and other monies through cancellation, loss or damage to personal baggage and loss of money, medical expenses, additional expenses to cover hotel accommodation and repatriation costs to Australia should any services need to be extended or curtailed due to illness or other insurable risk. Our reservations team can provide you with general information about travel insurance at the time of booking. If you do not require travel insurance you agree to provide written acknowledgement that a recommendation to obtain travel insurance has been made to you by us.
20. Incorrect Names: You are responsible to supply all passenger names exactly as they appear on your passports. If the spelling of any name itemised on your booking confirmation is different to the name on that person's passport/photo identification - PLEASE ADVISE US IMMEDIATELY. Failure to provide your correct names may require a re-issue of tickets and other documentation and you accept responsibility for this cost. In some cases you may have to pay more for your ticket if there are no seats available to rebook in the same fare type as the original ticket. Any fees will be the responsibility of the passenger if we have not been informed of the correct name and spelling at the time of the initial booking. Please note that most airlines treat name changes and route and/or itinerary alterations as FULL CANCELLATION and can incur full cancellation charges.
21. Travel Documentation: Your airline E-ticket will be sent to you no later than 30 days prior to your departure date. 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.

Permanent residents travelling on a foreign passport must hold a valid returning resident Visa.

Please contact your own doctor for advice, or visit the Travel Doctor website www.traveldoctor.com.au
24. Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade – Travel Warnings: The Holiday Centre makes no representations as to the safety, conditions and other issues that may exist at any destination. For reasons of political unrest, acts of war or terrorism or natural disasters in certain parts of the world the Australian Government in conjunction with various other worldwide bodies may decide to issue a Government Advisory Warning to Australian Passport holders not to travel to that country. In these instances whilst travel to some countries is not advisable and some clauses of the travel insurance coverage may not be effective we appreciate that some travellers may still need to travel to those areas. Whilst we are prepared to make these bookings on your behalf we do so without responsibility or liability. Current travel warnings and other information is available on the Department of Foreign Affairs website at www.smartraveller.gov.au It is recommended that all Australian travellers register their personal details i.e. Passport numbers, contact details in Australia and the countries you will be visiting so that in case of emergency you can be contacted.
25. Travel Compensation Fund: The Holiday Centre is a member of the Australian Travel Compensation Fund (TCF). TCF is a fund administered by a regulatory body established by government to give passengers financial protection in the event of a member's failure. The Holiday Centre passengers can have complete confidence that the Company meets the criteria necessary for participation in the TCF.
26. If you, acting reasonably, cancel your holiday as a result of a travel warning issued for your travel destination by the Australian government as referred to in clause 24, we will refund to you any amount which you have paid to us and which we have not already paid (or are not legally obliged to pay) on your behalf to service providers.
