Booking Terms & Conditions - Updated 25 October 2012

It is important that you carefully read and understand the following booking terms and conditions as they set out the terms and conditions of the contract between you and Avocatur. We act only as booking agents for the suppliers of the component parts of the holidays we organize, and as such, bookings for their services will form a direct contract between you and the relevant supplier and will be subject to that supplier’s standard terms and conditions.

1. THE PASSENGER AND AUTHORITY

The person requesting such quotations or estimates or making such booking or to whom any service is rendered, is deemed to have read and accepted these Terms and Conditions and to have the authority to do so on behalf of the persons in whose name the estimate or quotation or reservation is requested and/or provided and/or the persons to whom the services are rendered. The person making such booking confirms that he/she is above 21 years of age and further confirms that all passengers’ details he/she supplies on the Avocatur booking form mirror those details shown on their passports for international travel and RSA identity documents for local travel. No employee or agent of Avocatur has the authority to vary or waive any of these conditions or promise any discount or refund.

2. BOOKINGS

A booking is made by a passenger who submits a fully completed and signed Booking Form accompanied by the required deposit or full payment. Avocatur will not accept any bookings other than those received on a fully completed and signed booking form. Upon receipt of your booking request, Avocatur will reserve your holiday as per your signed instructions on the booking form. Your booking is only confirmed once written confirmation advice or an invoice is sent to you or your travel agent confirming your travel arrangements. It is important for you to check the invoice to ensure that all the details are exactly as you requested. It is the responsibility of Avocatur to provide you with the holiday as confirmed on your invoice.

Bookings are confirmed on the condition that a non-refundable deposit, of a minimum of 25% of the total land price together with full payment in respect of the airfare, is paid to Avocatur within 24 hours of confirmation of your bookings failing which the airline will automatically cancel such booking. You will be advised at the time of booking what payment is required for your particular arrangements. The balance of the cost of your travel arrangements must be paid no less than six weeks prior to departure. If your booking is made within 6 weeks of departure, the total cost of your travel arrangements must be paid at the time of booking. Failure to pay on time will result in the automatic cancellation of your booking.

3. PRICE CHANGES

Prices are quoted in either South African Rand or the currency most appropriate for the country concerned. All prices are for cash transactions and Avocatur guarantees the price of land arrangements only when we receive your full payment. Tour itineraries and prices appearing in our website/brochures are accurate and based on prevailing exchange rates; all information quoted is checked to the best of our ability and is correct at the time of print.
The costs associated with travel arrangements are always subject to change due to increases in transportation and fuel costs, security charges, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes, embarkation/disembarkation fees at ports and airports or exchange rates applied to the particular package that can and do fluctuate sharply. When you book a package through Avocatur, we reserve the right to impose surcharges to cover the said increases and pass them on to you.
Airfares and taxes are subject to the prices and conditions quoted by the particular airlines and subject to change until the air ticket is paid for and issued. The onus is on the travel agent and the passenger to check that there have been no changes in these prices before making final payment.
Package prices that include international airfares are subject to the availability of particular booking classes on the airlines used. Should the original booking class not be available and an alternative is required and incurs a higher cost, we will advise the passenger and we reserve the right to amend quoted prices due to this supplement. Avocatur reserves the right to make, upon notification and acceptance, alterations to your itinerary’s departure dates and prices to coincide with flight schedules and due to circumstances beyond our control.
Avocatur further reserves the right to re-cost the package price and raise a surcharge for group bookings where the minimum number of passengers required for the booking is not met. Should any group member refuse to accept and pay such surcharge, it may result in the cancellation of the booking and forfeiture of all payments made.

4. METHODS OF PAYMENT

We prefer payment by Electronic Funds Transfer on condition that you email the EFT transmission report to us and obtain confirmation of our receipt of your payment when the funds actually enter our bank account. Cash payments are accepted on condition that you email the cash deposit slip to us for each cash deposit made into our account that must include the applicable cash deposit fees.
Credit Card payments are accepted in accordance with IATA regulations. A signed and validated Standard Credit Card Charge Form (SCCCF) or payment via our Virtual Card Services System are the only recognised forms of payment by credit card. Credit card payments for land arrangements shall be accepted only if Avocatur is informed in advance and subject to conditions advised and acceptable to the cardholder/travel agent and Avocatur.
Any agent who acts as an intermediary between the passenger and Avocatur must acknowledge that he/she has seen the credit card used and that the signature on the card is the same as that on the Credit Card Charge Form. Minimum requirements to prove that the cardholder was present at the time of the transaction include; the completion of a signed, validated and approved standard credit card charge form, a copy of the front and back of the credit card and the cardholder’s identity document. If the card is a foreign credit card then you may be requested to provide various other details.

5. INSURANCE

Passengers are responsible for their own insurance and Avocatur will not be responsible or liable in the event of a passenger failing to purchase adequate insurance cover. Passengers are strongly advised to purchase travel insurance covering cancellation and curtailment, delays, personal accident and liability, medical expenses, emergency repatriation, loss of or damage to baggage and sports equipment.
It shall not be obligatory upon Avocatur to affect insurance for the passenger except upon detailed instructions given in writing and all insurance effected by Avocatur pursuant to such instructions will be subject to such exceptions and conditions as may be imposed by the insurance company or the underwriters accepting the risk and Avocatur shall not be obliged to obtain separate cover for any risks so excluded. Should the insurers dispute their liability for any reason; the client will have recourse against the insurers only.
Once the insurance has been confirmed and paid for, the passenger will be issued with a policy wording document of the insurer. It is a complex document, which must be read before you travel so that you can address any queries you may have to the insurer before your departure. Credit card companies offer limited levels of travel insurance cover that Avocatur does not consider adequate for international travel. Kindly check with your credit card company to obtain specific details of the cover offered.

6. TRANSPORTATION, FLIGHT SCHEDULES & RECONFIRMATIONS

Flight schedules as provided by airlines are subject to civil aviation and air traffic control regulations. Scheduled timings for all means of transportation are subject to traffic congestion, adverse weather, road, rail and sea conditions, the need for routine maintenance and the ability of passengers to check-in on time. There is therefore no guarantee that flights, coaches, trains, ferries or ships will depart at the times stated on any itinerary or tickets that you receive. All timings are provisional estimates and Avocatur accepts no liability for any delays and/or schedule changes howsoever arising.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you reconfirm the departure date and times of all your flights at least 72 hours prior to their departure. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your reservation. This is particularly important in respect of onward flights after leaving South Africa. Avocatur will not be responsible or liable for any delay and/or loss as a result of your failure to reconfirm any flight and/or connecting flight.

7. AIRLINES & AIRLINE INFORMATION

Airlines featured in this brochure do not, by virtue of their endorsement, represent themselves either as contracting with any purchaser of a holiday from Avocatur or as having any legal relationship with such a purchaser. Air tickets issued on behalf of the passenger shall constitute the sole contract between the passenger and the issuing airline. Inclusive tour airfares are used in all our package tours and frequent flyer upgrades and the accrual/redemption of frequent flyer miles/points are not possible on our packaged tours. Unless otherwise specified, the economy class passenger’s single checked bag should not exceed 23 kg in mass and the unchecked bag 7 kg in mass.

8. AIRPORT CHECK-IN

Airline check-in counters close approximately sixty minutes prior to flight departure. Allow a minimum check-in time of at least three hours for international flights and ninety minutes for domestic flights. Boarding gates close twenty minutes prior to flight departure and are usually a considerable distance away from the check in area. Passengers are advised to check in early, clear security and immigration and report to their correct boarding gate at least forty five before flight departure.

9. VOUCHERS & ITINERARIES

Vouchers and itineraries are only prepared on receipt of full payment of the package price, a signed and completed booking form and will be ready 48 hours after payment has been received. Normally your travel agent will arrange collection of your documents. Should you require your documents and air tickets to be forwarded either to you or the departure airport this may be arranged by you/your agent with us. However, the courier costs in respect thereof will be for your own account.
It is important that you check all details on your air tickets, vouchers and itinerary upon receipt before leaving South Africa. If there are any inaccuracies therein or if you have any further queries, you should contact your travel agent/Avocatur immediately. Avocatur will not be liable for any delay and/or loss occasioned as a result of any inaccuracies on any travel documents discovered after your departure from South Africa.
The Avocatur voucher is our official document that serves as both a confirmation and exchange document for the arrangements you have purchased. You will be required to present it to your hotel, car rental or any other named service provider for the provision of the services mentioned therein. Vouchers are valid for the dates and services mentioned only and are not refundable or transferable.
Hotel, car rental or any other named service provider has no authority to refund any monies paid or grant any authority to claim a refund from Avocatur for lost or unused vouchers, transportation tickets, and car rental and / or tour package components. Passengers who have lost or mislaid their vouchers or are unable to present them upon request will be obliged to pay the service provider directly for the provision of services. Passengers requesting upgraded and/or optional services not stipulated in the voucher must pay the service provider directly for the said services.

10. UNSCHEDULED EXTENSIONS

In the unlikely event of there being an unscheduled extension to the holiday caused by technical or logistical difficulties, flight delays, weather conditions, strikes or any other cause that is beyond our control; it is understood that all expenses relating to such unscheduled extensions, e.g. airfares, airport transfers, hotels, meals, telephone calls etc. will be for the passenger’s account. Avocatur accepts no liability for changes, omissions or delays prior to or during the course of any holiday occasioned by technical difficulties, weather conditions, strikes or communication breakdowns or the like. Passengers may refer to their respective travel insurance policy purchased for possible compensation.

11. CHANGES MADE BY THE PASSENGER

All requests for changes and amendments to confirmed bookings must be made in writing and signed by the passenger. If you wish to make a change to your booking prior to departure we will endeavour to assist you wherever possible. You will have to pay all charges imposed by the suppliers providing the component of your travel arrangements that you would have us change. Fares will be re-quoted at the time of amendment. An administration fee of R300 per person is payable for each amendment and/or cancellation in addition to any cancellation and administration charges applicable to tickets, documents or vouchers submitted for refund or reissue.
Any changes to a confirmed booking requested less than two weeks before departure will be treated as a cancellation of the passenger’s original booking and will attract the applicable cancellation charges. Any new arrangements will be regarded as an entirely new booking. After departure it is understood that extra expenses incurred as a result of any change will be for the passenger’s account, and any unused service will not be refunded. Amendments and cancellations en route may be made with our operators directly. We do not accept any requests for amendment/cancellation of hotel accommodation for trade fair, special and sporting event bookings made within 30 days from the date of arrival.

12. CANCELLATION BY THE PASSENGER

If you wish to cancel your booking you must advise your agent/Avocatur immediately in writing. The cancellation will take effect on the date that Avocatur receives such written notice and you will be liable to pay the following cancellation charges: Where your booking includes a special fare, the relevant charges applied by the airline which in some circumstances may be 100% of the total fare, regardless of when cancellation is affected. Where your booking is for a package, you will be responsible for all cancellation charges, of whatsoever nature, imposed by the suppliers providing the component parts of such travel arrangements.
Trade fair, special and sporting event bookings carry 100% cancellation charges. Avocatur charges a cancellation fee equal to 10% of the total package price on any finalized booking. However; Avocatur reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee of up to 100% of the total package price in its sole discretion in particular circumstances. Any monies that you have already paid to us will be taken by us as payment or part payment of any cancellation charges.

13. OUR RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

Every effort is made by Avocatur to adhere to confirmed itineraries; however, we reserve the right to make changes to your travel arrangements when it becomes necessary to do so. A significant change to your travel arrangements would include a change in the departure date from South Africa; where the flight times are changed by more than 12 hours or a change to a lower standard of accommodation to that which is booked. In these instances of significant changes to your travel arrangements Avocatur undertakes to advise you thereof as soon as reasonably possible before your departure date to obtain your further instructions in this regard.
All other changes are minor changes. A minor change can be made at any time and, if practicable, we will advise you of any such change prior to departure but are not obliged to do so. Such minor changes may be made by Avocatur in its discretion without being responsible or liable for the payment of compensation to you as a result of such minor changes. In instances when any travel component is confirmed by Avocatur and subsequently cancelled by the supplier for whatever reason, Avocatur will accept no liability for the said cancellation.
Avocatur reserves the right to cancel any tour prior to departure due to insufficient numbers or other unforeseen circumstances. If a tour is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances such as, but not restricted to, severe weather conditions or force majeure, Avocatur will refund all monies except any cancellation fees levied by airlines and other third parties. Unforeseen circumstances such as force majeure, adverse weather, flight rescheduling, hotel overbooking and faults with transportation or road, rail or sea conditions may also have an effect on the tour itinerary after the commencement date. Any decision made in respect of tour services by independent operators to reroute or amend the itinerary due to any of the above or similar circumstances is at the sole discretion of the tour service provider and Avocatur shall not be liable for any claim whatsoever arising from such events

14. LOST OR STOLEN AIR TICKETS

The loss or theft of an air ticket must be reported to Avocatur immediately. Certain airlines will not authorise Avocatur to issue a replacement ticket if such ticket is lost or stolen before the passenger leaves South Africa. In such instance you will be required to purchase a new ticket at your own cost, until such time as Avocatur receives authority from the airline to make any refund to you, which could take up to 12 months. Should the airline authorize Avocatur to issue a replacement ticket we will do so and charge you a reissuance fee per ticket.
Should your ticket be lost or stolen abroad it should be noted that certain airlines will not issue a duplicate ticket and it will be your responsibility to purchase a new ticket abroad at the local fare. Upon your return to South Africa you may make application to Avocatur for a refund of the amount you spent on the lost or stolen ticket. However; it is specifically recorded that any refund will be entirely at the discretion of the airline concerned which may take up to 12 months to authorize. It is your responsibility to report the lost or stolen ticket to the police and to provide Avocatur with the proof of such report if required.

15. AIRLINE REFUND PROCEDURES

Airline refund policies vary and refunds may take up to 12 weeks to process although this time frame cannot be guaranteed by Avocatur. Partly used tickets will be refunded at less than the pro rata rate on the face value of such ticket. Unused tickets not submitted for a refund within one year from the date of issue will be regarded as expired by the airline and have no refund value.
All air tickets returned to Avocatur for refund will be submitted to the relevant airline for assessment subject to the payment of an administration fee of R300 per ticket. Should a refund be authorised, such refund will be made to you, less any cancellation or administration charges levied by the airline. If payment for the air ticket was made to Avocatur by credit card, our administration fee of R300 per ticket is payable prior to submission of the refund application because the relevant airline will pay the refund directly into your credit card account. Air tickets bought for cash will be refunded via EFT- Electronic Funds Transfer.

16. COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

Should you not be satisfied or experience problems with any aspect of your arrangements whilst on tour, you must immediately inform the supplier of the services in question, who will normally take appropriate action to resolve the issue at the time If you are still dissatisfied, you must notify Avocatur immediately to enable us to resolve the problem. Failure to give us the opportunity to resolve any problem at the time it occurs may result in either a reduction or complete extinction of any rights that you may have to claim compensation.
If you remain dissatisfied, write to our Customer Care Manager at customercare@avocatur.com within 28 days of the unsatisfactory service. Your letter should include your booking reference, full details of your complaint, all relevant receipts and substantiating evidence.

17. UNUSED SERVICES & REFUNDS

Proof of cancellation must be substantiated in writing: i.e. date, time, name of staff who handled your cancellation request and the cancellation number. Claims must be received in writing by Avocatur along with the original vouchers within 28 days of the services in question.

Passengers aged 70 years and over or those with a pre-existing health condition or any medical dietary requirement must also submit a letter of fitness completed by their medical practitioner confirming they can undertake the demands of their tour unaided. Children policies vary and depend on the destination/journey selected.

20. RESPONSIBILITY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Avocatur arranges leisure, business, sports and adventure tours to global destinations including certain regions where the standards of accommodation, transport, safety and security, hygiene, medical facilities and other infrastructure may, at times be lower than those one would normally expect. All tours, especially those to sporting events, visiting remote or unstable regions or areas with extremes in climatic conditions or dangerous wildlife, involve a risk of injury, psychological trauma, disease, loss or damage to property, inconvenience and discomfort. All bookings are accepted on the clear understanding that the passengers are fully aware of the said risks and potential hazards and agree to assume all such risks associated with the journey, which they undertake of their own choice and entirely at their own risk.
Avocatur acts as agents only for local and international airlines, ground operators and hotels and accordingly accepts no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, injury, illness, death, accident, delay, or any other irregularity howsoever arising. Avocatur makes every effort to ensure that all the arrangements and services connected with a passenger’s itinerary will be carried out as specified in the most efficient and effective way possible. However; Avocatur does not have direct control over the provision of services by suppliers and, whilst they are in all cases selected with the utmost care, Avocatur does not accept liability for the errors and omissions of such suppliers. The contract in use by such suppliers shall constitute the sole contract between the supplier and the client and any right of recourse the client may have, will be solely against the supplier.
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected, or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss, as a result of “force majeure”. In these Booking Conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we or the supplier of the services in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity or actual threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control.

21. HOTEL INFORMATION

Hotel descriptions featured are based on current hotel guides and contractual agreements provided by suppliers and any facilities described are subject to change at any time. Maps and photographs are included for general information only and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, location or services. Hotel room photographs may not be specific to the actual room occupied. Avocatur has made reasonable enquiries to verify that the descriptions and details are accurate but does not warrant that they are. Hotel standards, facilities and room sizes vary globally and hotels or resorts in one city cannot be compared directly with those in another city.
Prices quoted are per person share twin and cover “run of house” standard room accommodation unless otherwise specified and the room type will be assigned by the hotel subject to availability at the time of check-in. Passengers travelling alone cannot purchase share twin accommodation and a surcharge will be payable for a single room or for any additional beds arranged. Most hotels do not have dedicated triple rooms and additional beds are normally the roll away type temporarily installed in a twin room and may compromise your comfort due to room size and layout of existing furniture. Special requests such as a baby cot, room location or type, a particular facility or view at a hotel are not guaranteed and can be offered on a request only basis and subject to availability at the time of check-in. Avocatur will not be responsible if the requests cannot be satisfied or confirmed.
Check-in and check-out times vary globally with the norm being between 12h00 and 15h00 for check-in on your day of arrival and between 10h00 and 12h00 for check-out with no guarantees for early check-in/late check-out unless paid for. Hotels reserve the right to charge for periods when the room is occupied before the normal check-in time and after the normal check-out time. For your comfort and convenience we recommend that when booking the number of nights you intend to stay, you consider whether this covers your early arrival/late check-out, neither of which is covered by the tour price.
Upon check in, hotel staff will request an imprint of your credit card or cash deposit for any optional in house services not included in the tour price e.g. mini-bar, laundry, telephone etc. Upon check out you may settle your bill for any extras or have the cancelled voucher returned to you if there are none. Hotels undergo periodic maintenance from time to time and take all possible steps to limit noise, disruption and inconvenience to their guests. Avocatur will not entertain complaints or requests for refunds if a hotel is undergoing maintenance whilst a guest is resident. Dates may be provided if we are specifically advised however; it is important to remember that these dates are subject to change and we are not always notified.

22. GENERAL INFORMATION

Avocatur will advise you of all mandatory taxes, which you must pay before departure. However, many countries charge departure taxes that can only be paid locally. It is therefore recommended that you retain sufficient local currency to meet such charges. Details of departure taxes can be obtained from the relevant airline when you reconfirm your flight details.
We can pass on any special requests that you may wish to make at the time of booking, however, the acceptance of such requests is at the discretion of the airline or service supplier and under no circumstances are special requests guaranteed. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier, or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation, is not confirmation that the request will be met
If you or any member of your party has any medical problems or disability which may affect your holiday, you need to give us full details in writing at the time of booking. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we reserve the right to decline their reservation. We further reserve the right to cancel the reservation should we become aware of any such medical problem or disability that was not disclosed at the time of booking.
Any charges made to your credit card whilst abroad are entirely your responsibility. Avocatur will not be responsible, nor accept responsibility for having these charges reversed or rectified upon your return to South Africa. If you intend to drive a rental car abroad; you will require a valid South African driver’s licence, an international driver’s licence and your credit card. Subject to statutory constraints or compliance with an order of court, Avocatur undertakes to deal with all client information of a personal nature on a strictly confidential basis.

23. LEGAL JURISDICTION

Avocatur shall be entitled, at its option to institute any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with this contract in any Magistrate’s Court having jurisdiction in terms of Section 29 of the Magistrate’s Court Act No. 32/1944 as amended, notwithstanding that the amount in issue may exceed the limits of such jurisdiction.

24. LEGAL

This document together with Avocatur’s standard booking form, Avocatur’s invoice and itinerary constitutes the sole record of the agreement between the parties. No party shall be bound by any representation, warranty and promise of the like not recorded herein. The passenger acknowledges that he/she has not relied on any matter or thing stated on behalf of Avocatur or otherwise that is not included herein. No addition to the Avocatur standard booking conditions shall be of any force or effect unless in writing and signed by or on behalf of the parties.

This agreement shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa. The passenger hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the Magistrates Court having jurisdiction over its person in respect of all proceedings in connection with this agreement.

25. CONSULAR ADVICE

Avocatur makes no representations as to the safety and security, prevailing conditions or other issues that may exist at any destination. Passenger enquiries with regard to local issues and prevailing conditions at your intended destinations should be made prior to making your booking. Advice may be obtained from local governments, local consular offices and the official websites of the relevant foreign affairs/governmental departments concerned.
