The terms and conditions of this document together with your booking confirmation form comprise the agreement between Holiday in Alps and all those listed on the booking form on whose behalf the group leader has signed.  The contract is deemed to have been made as soon as the signed booking confirmation form is received by Holiday in Alps.

1. The group leader is responsible on behalf of all other members of the group for all matters relating to the booking.

2. "The group" refers to all persons booked to stay in the accommodation and includes any change of names to the original booking.

3. If at any time prior to the stay the group leader pulls out of the booking, Holiday in Alps must be notified either by email or phone by the original group leader and a new booking confirmation and T's and C's form must be signed by a new group leader and returned to the owner before embarking on the holiday.

4. In case of dishonoured payment the group leader will be contacted to make payment by other means, to be received by the owner within 7 days (or immediate payment if the group is due to start the holiday in less than 7 days). Failure to do this will mean automatic cancellation of the booking.

7. Due to circumstances beyond Holiday in Alps’s control, i.e. acts of God, it may be necessary to make alterations to a confirmed booking or to cancel the booking completely. Whilst Holiday in Alps will make every effort to ensure this does not happen, if it is unavoidable Holiday in Alps will contact the group leader as soon as possible. In this instance Holiday in Alps will endeavour to make alternative arrangements for accommodation of the same value if available, or offer a full refund of any monies paid.  No other compensation will be offered.

10. Any damage caused to the property, grounds or outbuildings resulting in an excess over and above the damage deposit, will be payable by the group leader on behalf of the group irrespective of which person was responsible. This is to be paid to Holiday in Alps by the payment details supplied within 21 days of the group's departure.
