Painting Holidays at Mas de la Serra
Our contract with you. From the time we receive your signed booking form and initial payment, a contract exists between you and Mas de la Serra.
Eligibility. We reserve the right to refuse to accept a booking without necessarily giving a reason. You need to be in good health, free of infectious or contagious illness, and have a level of fitness which would not spoil other participants’ enjoyment of the holiday by either infecting them or slowing them down . By signing the booking form you are stating that you fit enough for the holiday. If during the holiday it transpires you are not able to cope adequately, or are ill, you may be asked to opt out of certain visits, or be invited to leave the holiday altogether. This would be at your own expense.
Insurance. It is a requirement of booking that you have adequate holiday insurance. Cover for medical treatment, repatriation, loss of property and cancellation charges must be included. If you are making your own flight/travel arrangements, please ensure you have insurance in place that protects you in the unlikely event of Mas de La Serra cancelling the tour.
Passports and visas. British citizens must have valid passports for all tours outside the United Kingdom. For most countries the passport needs to be valid for six months beyond the date of the tour. If visas are required we will advise UK citizens about obtaining them. Nationals of other countries should ascertain whether visas are required in their case, and obtain them if they are.
If you cancel. If you have to cancel your participation on a tour, there would be a charge which varies according to the period of notice you give. Up to 60 days before the tour the deposit only is forfeited. Thereafter a percentage of the total cost of the tour will be due:
– between 60 and 29 days: 50%
– less than 28 : 100%
If you cancel your booking in a double or twin room or cabin but are travelling with a companion who chooses to continue to participate on the tour, the companion will be liable to pay the stipulated single supplement.
We take as the day of cancellation that on which we receive written confirmation of cancellation.
If we cancel the tour. We might decide to cancel a tour if at any time up to eight weeks before there were insufficient bookings for it to be viable. We would refund everything you had paid to us. We may also cancel a tour if hostilities, civil unrest, natural disaster or other circumstances amounting to force majeure affect the region.
The limits of our liabilities. As principal, we accept responsibility for all ingredients of a tour, except those in which the principle of force majeure prevails. Our obligations and responsibilities are also limited where international conventions apply in respect of air, sea or rail carriers, including the Warsaw Convention and its various updates.
If we make changes. Circumstances might arise which prevent us from operating a holiday exactly as advertised. We would try to devise a satisfactory alternative, but if the change represents a significant loss to the tour we would offer compensation. If you decide to cancel because the alternative we offer is not acceptable we would give a full refund.
English Law. These conditions form part of your contract with Mas de la Serra and are governed by English law. All proceedings shall be within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
