at which point relevant cancellation charges would apply.
6. CAN I CHANGE MY HOLIDAY ?
If you want to change any aspect of your holiday after you have received
a Confirmation Invoice, we will do our best to help. Any requests
for changes must be made in writing to our office and a charge will
be made as detailed below, depending upon the date on which we receive
your letter.

per person + difference on the increase of flight fare. Ryanair charge £70 per flight sector if two different flight routes are used.

If you change the number of people in you booking, your holiday price
will be recalculated for the new party size and you will be re-invoiced
accordingly. Changes to any aspect of your holiday while you are abroad
are subject to availability and must be paid for locally.
7. CANCELLATION CHARGES
Once your holiday has been confirmed we begin to incur costs on your
behalf, for which a charge will be made should you subsequently cancel
your holiday.

If you have to cancel for any reason covered by your insurance policy,
you will be able to reclaim your cancellation charges, excluding the
non-refundable insurance premium.
If any member of your party is unable to travel, no one else may travel
in their place without payment of the necessary amendment charge and
our written confirmation of the name change.
8. INSURANCE
We recommend that you take either our own holiday insurance or an equivalent policy that provides you with as much or more cover. Additionally we recommend that you obtain an E111 from the post office which covers you for medical treatment in hospitals within the EU. Our comprehensive policy covers most eventualities, but if you require extra cover, it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements.
9. CANCELLATION OF A PROFESSIONAL CLUB
If any of the professional clubs taking part in the tournament decide
to cancel and not to travel, for any reason, your holiday will still
go ahead. Monies paid cannot be refunded.
Also, we cannot guarantee the participation of any specifc players.
It is a decision for the individual clubs as to which of their players
take part in the tournament.
10. IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY
Most alterations to confirmed holiday arrangements are minor, such
as a slight change in departure time or the withdrawal of facilities
at your accommodation. We will always do our best to advise you of
any such changes. Occasionally however, we may have to make a major
change to your holiday, which could be one of the following:
A. Change of U. K. departure airport (except between
the London airports of Heathrow,
Stansted, Gatwick and Luton or betwen Blackpool, Liverpool & Manchester).
B. Change of resort airport.
C. Change of your time of departure or return by
more than 12 hours.
D. Change from a day flight to a night flight (departing
the U.K. between 2400 and
0559 and/or arriving back in the U.K. between 0200 and 0559).
E. Change of resort.
F. Change of accommodation to that of a lower standard.
N.B. A change of accommodation to that of the same official rating
or higher within
the same resort is not regarded as a major change and thus gives no
right to
compensation or free cancellation.
Should you decide not to accept new arrangements offered as a result
of any of the above changes, you may cancel your booking either within
3 days of the notification thereof if departure is within 7 days.
We will then refund all monies paid to you. No additional payments
will be made.
11. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU
We accept full liability for the quality of the holiday we have confirmed
to you and for illness, injury or death to yourself or anyone in your
party only if it is as the result of negligence by any of our staff,
agents, suppliers or their employees while acting in the scope of,
or in the course of their employment, agency or contract of supply.
Should you or any member of your party suffer illness, bodily injury
or death through any misadventure arising from an activity which does
not form part of your holiday arrangement, nor part of any excursion
sold through us, we shall offer every assistance we can.
12. FORCE MAJEURE
We cannot accept liability in any circumstances where and/or prompt
performance of our obligations is prevented by reason of war, threat
of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activities, industrial disputes,
natural and nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions.
13. COULD I BE REFUSED BOARDING OR ENTRY
There a number of reasons for which you could be refused boarding
or entry.
* If you arrive late for the specified check-in time. We accept no
responsibility should you be unable to board the aircraft for any
reason.
* If you do not hold a valid passport and/or visa for entry into or
exit from the country of origin or destination or if you have insufficient
funds.
* If in the opinion of a person of authority you appear to be unfit
for travel or likely to cause discomfort or disturbance to other passengers
our responsibility for your holiday will immediately cease.
* If you fail to co-operate with airport authorities who have powers
of stopping and searching persons or luggage under the U.K. Aviation
and Security Act 1990.
In any of the above circumstances we will not be responsible for any
costs you may incur, nor will we make any refunds to you.
14. WHAT DOCUMENTS MUST I TAKE ?
You must hold a valid passport, together with all the necessary visas
or other documentation required for entry into or exit from the country
of origin or destination. At the time of going to press there were
no health regulations for any PlayHARD Sports destination and no visa
regulations for British citizens. However, if you are in any doubt
as to the validity of your passport or vaccination requirements, it
is your responsibility to make the necessary enquiries with the relevant
tourist offices or embassies.
15. WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
?
Your tickets are normally issued ten days before departure.
The flight part of your holiday is a separate contract, which is booked
with an ATOL license holder for which they take on full responsibility.
This company reserves the right to issue tickets at the departure
airport.
We cannot hold responsible if you arrive late for the specified check-in
time for the flight, or for the loss by you of your travel documents.
Charges will be made by the flight company for ticket re-issue.
16. FLIGHT TIMES
The flight information quoted is for guidance only and is subject
to alteration by events outside our control, such as alterations by
airlines or airport. Your travel documents contain the latest information.
Our insurance policy provides cover in the event of an extensive delay.
17. WHAT IF THE FLIGHT IS DELAYED ?
Unfortunately, there are occasions, completely beyond our control,
when a flight is delayed. We cannot accept responsibility for any
expenses incurred in this event. Our holiday insurance provides cover
in the event of an extensive delay.
18. RESORT AND ACCOMMODATION DESCRIPTIONS
All our descriptions of areas, resorts and accommodation are as accurate
as possible. However, please bear in mind that some facilities can
change or become unavailable, which is out of our control. We will
try to keep you advised of any changes, but we cannot accept liability
for them.
Please also remember that you are in a different country and should
accept that the way of life will be different to the U.K. ie. food,
customs etc.
Also, ants, cockroaches and mosquitoes thrive in warmer climates.
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your holiday, please inform
the local representative.
19. DISPUTE PROCEDURE
In the unlikely event that a problem should arise, we would ask you
immediately to contact our local representative so that we can attempt
to resolve the matter on the spot. If the problem cannot be sorted
there and then, you must ensure that you complete a report form, to
be signed by yourselves and the local representative.
You should then send a copy of this report to the address above, with
an accompanying letter where necessary, within 28 days of your return
to the U.K. We will investigate the complaint on your behalf and a
full and precise response will follow within 28 days, provided we
have been able to investigate your claim fully in that time. Unfortunately,
we cannot deal with any complaints that we receive after the 28 day
period, or any complaints that are not accompanied by a relevant report
by the rep.
20. SURCHARGES
The price of your holiday can be varied due to changes in transportation costs e.g. fuel, airline surcharges, Government VAT increases. We will absorb the first 2% of this increase and you the client will have to pay the rest up to 10%. If the increase is more than 10% you have the right to cancel your holiday and receive a full refund. You have 14 days within notice of the increase to cancel.
21. CHARTERED FLIGHTS
The chartered flights for specific sport events are based on enough passengers filling the designated aircraft that we charter. We will have at our disposal various sized aircraft from a 130 seater to a 330 seater. We reserve the right to cancel the package if there are not enough bookings for specific games. In these cases we will initially endeavor to look at booking alternative flights. You will be informed of the changes and of any amount of increase and if all the passengers agree we will go ahead with the new arrangements. If we have to cancel any charter you will receive a full refund. Also, in the event of the flight being cancelled by the relevant authorities due to the airline not obtaining “Traffic Rights” or due to any other “Technical” reasons, we will be required to cancel the trip. This will result in no right to further compensation, only a refund of the original amount paid. If we have to cancel any charter you will receive a full refund.
22. VISAS
*Please note that in the event of failure to obtain a visa for whatever reason, no refund for your flight or package will be made by PlayHard Sports. You will be liable for any costs incurred in failure to have a valid visa for travel and any fines issued by Immigration Authorities. A visa is not included in our price and this is solely your responsibility to obtain.
23. MATCH TICKETS
*Prices do not include Match Tickets and these should be obtained through the club in the normal way. In the event of failure to obtain a Match Ticket for any event, no refund for your flight or package will be made by PlayHard Sports. If you are refused travel or entry into the relevant country at any stage during your journey due to not possessing a correct match ticket, no responsibility or refund of any monies will be liable to PlayHard Sports.
