T’s & C’s

• Tours officially begin at the destination airport even if guests are met at a UK airport and a guide accompanies guests over to the destination airport.

• The contract is governed by the courts of England & Wales.

• Guests are responsible for their own flights and the contract directly excludes any liability regarding flights (flight prices are not included as flight prices vary considerably depending on when they are booked).

• Even if flights are booked for guests as an exception the contract still excludes any responsibility of Military History Tours Limited (known hereafter as MHT) regarding the flights. All risk rests with the guest regarding such flights.

• If flights are cancelled by your chosen carrier (for whatever reason, whether industrial action/weather/etc) then MHT carry no responsibility for getting guests to the commencement location of the tour (i.e. the destination airport).

• If flights are cancelled it is at the discretion of MHT to transfer the guest booking to another equally priced trip at a later date (or the guest can pay the difference for a more expensive trip). Please note MHT reserves the right to deduct any unavoidable third party charges, such as hotel cancellation fees, so if a trip is transferred there may be an additional charge to cover the unavoidable third party charges.

• MHT is to determine the extent and meaning of the term ‘unavoidable third party charge’.

• If a guest misses their flight and fail to make the official meeting point at the destination airport at the start of the tour then MHT is under no obligation to offer any form of refund or transfer the booking to a later trip.

• If a guest has their flight delayed and does not arrive at the official meeting point at the allotted time at the destination airport (e.g. if their flight was delayed) then MHT is under no obligation to go to any additional expense to enable the guest to join the tour. If the guest books the wrong retrun flight (as advised by MHT) it is the guest’s responsibility to either rebook the flight and at their own cost or make their flight connection by depart from the group earlier and at their own cost. MHT is not repsonsible.

• If flights are delayed and additional costs (such as transport/accommodation) are incurred which are beyond the control of MHT then MHT reserves the right to charge any reasonable additional costs to the travelling guests. Such charges need to be paid at the time and directly by the guest for the guest to continue their participation on the tour. MHT reseve the right to determine ‘reasonable costs’.

• If MHT cancels a trip then guests will receive a refund for the cost of the trip booked with MHT. Flights and any consequencial economic loss, whether foreseeable or otherwise, will not be met by MHT.

• Deposits. Each trip is confirmed by the guests by paying a non-refundable deposit (or the full balance if less than 6 weeks before the trip date).

• Payment of a deposit by a guest is deemed to be full acceptance of these terms and conditions.

• Guests are not at liberty to vary MHT’s terms and conditions in any way.

• All deposits are non refundable and any bank fees are to be paid by the guest, not MHT.

• The balance is due no later than 6 weeks before the trip. For trips over 2 nights in length balance is due no later than 12 weeks before trip date.

• If a guest cancels more than 6 months before the trip just the deposit is forfeited. If between 6 months and the day of the trip then the entire balance is due. Notice is only valid when acknowledged in writing by MHT.

• MHT is not responsible for actions of 3rd party suppliers, such as accommodation and transport providers. Guests accept MHT will endeavour to rectify any itinerary changes brought about by circumstances outside of the control of MHT but will not be held responsible for such contractual 3rd party actions nor any any consequential economic loss, foreseeable or otherwise, suffered by guests – for example train delays mean the return home flight is missed then MHT is in no way liable. Also, MHT is not repsonsible for guests not conducting due care and attention when on public transport and guests will need to incur any additional charges e.g. failure to get off a bus/train and there is cost to rejoin the group.

• MHT will return guests to the foreign airport and at such point the tour is concluded.

• It is a term of the contract that guests take out adequate holiday insurance and MHT is not responsible for checking if guests have done so nor are they responsible for the guests should circumstances arise from actions of guests which require remedies often covered by personal holiday insurance.

• MHT also recommends the appropriate European Medical Forms are carried.

• Where airport transfers are included MHT reserves the right to use public transport even when private transport may be listed on the itinerary.

• Where a hotel is given as the selected hotel if MHT deems it necessary it will substitute the venue for a comparable one should circumstances dictate, MHT is to be the sole party to decide.

• MHT reserves the right to appoint any tour guide it deems appropriate to cover the necessary historical subject matter and guests are not guaranteed any specific guide and have no redress in such matter.

• If there is any doubt as to the meaning of any terms and conditions MHT reserves the right to be the party who makes any final decision on the matter.
• Where we contract with any parties MHT’s terms & conditions are deemed to prevail and this term cannot be contrated to the contrary.
