The lead passenger must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these booking conditions by all persons named on the booking and by their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By agreeing to the booking, the lead passenger confirms that he/she is also authorised. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to us at this point. The party leader must be at least 18 years of age when the booking is made.
Following this, all individual guests will receive their individual terms and conditions to agree to. Once this has been processed these terms apply on an individual basis and are no longer the responsibility of the lead booker.

Subject to the availability of your chosen arrangements, we will confirm your excursion by issuing a verification invoice in the form of an e-ticket. This invoice will be sent to the lead passenger. Where you book through our website, any electronic acknowledgement of your booking is not a confirmation of it. Please check this invoice carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracies (for which we are responsible). Your full itinerary and any other relevant documentation will be sent to you before departure. Each individual is responsible for the validity of themselves entering into another country and Spring Break Portugal will not be held responsible.
We will communicate with you by e-mail in relation to your booking. You must accordingly check your emails on a regular basis. We may also contact you by telephone and/or post if we cannot, for whatever reason, contact you by e-mail. Certain documents may need to be sent by post. References in these booking conditions to “send” and “in writing” include communication by e-mail.

b) The balance of the excursion outside of England must be received by us not less than 2 calendar months before departure. This date will be shown on the confirmation invoice. Reminders are not sent. Deposits are not refundable. If we do not receive all payments due (including any surcharge where applicable) in full and on time, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, you must pay the cancellation charges shown in the clause headed “Cancelling Your Place” below depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled.
c) If you do not pay or cancel your place in conjunction to our cancellation fees by the given deadline, we reserve the right to charge your full outstanding balance to the original card used for deposit payments 7 days after the top-up deadline.
d) Payments made are subject to an 8% booking fee which may change from time to time and in accordance with these terms and conditions. We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error.

Please note that all packages must be paid within 3 months of the initial deposit and can be settled using the email online portal or via bank transfer. Late payments will incur a £50 charge and any outstanding packages after the 28th February will incur an extra £50 late payment fee.
Please note: We will only increase the price in the following circumstances: changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports and exchange rates mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your booking, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’ commission if applicable. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your original booking, you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges initiated. Should the price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. As Spring Break Portugal are compliant with the risk of increased costs on your behalf, we are unable to reduce our prices or make any refunds if in fact costs reduce or exchange rates fluctuate favourably.

In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking and whenever any change in the condition or disability occurs. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your excursion develops after your booking has been confirmed. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking or the condition / disability develops after booking, cancel when we become aware of these details. c) We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests.

Cancelling Your Place: If you or any members of your party cancel your holiday, a charge will be made. We will have incurred expenses in connection with your holiday and the percentage charge of your holiday cost will depend upon the time at which written notice of cancellation is received by us. You must notify all cancellations to us in writing at the earliest opportunity. Charges apply from the date written notification is received at our offices via post or email. Verbal cancellation is not acceptable.
All deposits are non-refundable. The percentage outlined is for the total price of your booking. This is likely to be more than the deposit.

Depending on the reason for the cancellation, you may be able to reclaim the cancellation charges under the terms of your insurance policy, which we strongly advise that you undertake. You must, however, pay the cancellation charges first and then seek a refund from the insurance company.
Cancelling Your Whole Group Booking: Group bookings are placed by a “Group Leader” and are reliant on a specified minimum number of passengers booking in order for the trip to go ahead. The specified minimum number will be detailed in writing on the group deposit invoice. Should a group not reach the required number the group deposit will be lost. If insufficient numbers result, Spring Break Portugal reserve the right to cancel your holiday at our discretion. Sometimes it is necessary to allow bookings to remain open for extended periods so that the group has a better chance of reaching the minimum number of passengers required for the trip to go ahead. In this case it can often result in passengers being informed of a holiday cancellation at short notice. Spring Break Portugal will not be held responsible for any inconvenience caused as a result of cancelled trip due to insufficient numbers. Should Spring Break Portugal cancel your booking due to insufficient numbers all passengers will be refunded in full less a £10 administration fee and any online card charges incurred. Should a group not reach the required number Spring Break Portugal reserve the right to merge groups (share transport with other groups) where possible in order to salvage the holiday for group members that have paid in full.
Changing Your Booking: After our confirmation has been issued, changes should be notified in writing and if we can comply, a charge per person per change will be made (including name changes). Any alteration within 8 weeks of departure; change of accommodation/departure date/resort, may be considered as a cancellation and subject to cancellation charges. You may add extra members to your booking at any time, providing you have first checked availability with us and payments are made for additional people. We cannot guarantee that changes will be possible, you must notify us of any changes in writing or by telephone and we will endeavour to make the changes. All amendments may be subject to an administration fee. The following charges apply; Name change – There will be a £20 administration charge for any name changes made to a booking. In addition, we insist that it is done within the following conditions: The booking does not include services provided by suppliers who will consider the booking cancelled if changes are made. Your arrangements remain exactly the same as the original booking. The replacement person takes on the exact cost of your holiday as paid by you. Any cost by a third party to change the booking will have to be covered by the passenger or the replacement person. You must put your request to transfer your booking in writing That person signs a booking form or signals in writing their acceptance of the terms of our agreement. That person must comply with all noted terms and conditions, specifically regarding adequate insurance cover. This is because any premiums paid by the original booker cannot be refunded vii. You will remain responsible for the payment of any balances relating to your holiday should that person be in default of payment.

It is a breach of contract for anyone to sell or give such accommodation or seats to another person without our knowledge and agreement of Spring Break Portugal . All booking amendments must be initiated by the designated group leader only.
If We Make A Change To or Cancel Your Booking: We start planning the excursions we offer many months in advance. Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors in our brochure and other details both before and after bookings have been confirmed and cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. Please note, our excursions require a minimum number of participants to enable us to operate them. If the minimum number of bookings required for a particular excursion have not been received, we are entitled to cancel it. We will notify you of cancellation for this reason at least 4 weeks prior to departure. In this case, we will offer you the options shown below. Cancellation for lack of numbers is at our discretion and occasionally we may decide to operate a tour even though the minimum number has not been reached. Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a “significant change”. A significant change is a change made before departure which, taking account of the information you give us at the time of booking and which we can reasonably be expected to know as a tour operator, we can reasonably expect to have a major effect on your excursion. Significant changes are likely to include the following changes when made before departure; a change of accommodation to that of a lower official classification or standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of accommodation area for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of outward departure time of 12 or more hours, a change of UK departure point to one which is more inconvenient for you and, in the case of tours, a significant change of itinerary missing out one or more major destination substantially or altogether. If a significant change to your holiday arrangements is made to the holiday you have booked and for which you have received a confirmation invoice, or if we cancel the holiday within 4 weeks of the original departure date, you may choose to: 1) Accept the changed arrangements as notified to you by us (this may involve a change of resort). 2) Purchase a replacement holiday from us, of at least the same standard if available (and paying supplement or receiving a refund in respect of any price difference) 3) Cancel your holiday and receive a full and prompt refund of all monies paid to us. We will pay compensation as detailed unless the change is for reasons beyond our control as described below. We will always refund the difference in price if the replacement holiday is of a lower standard and price. You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer of alternative holiday arrangements. If you do not, we will assume your acceptance of the new holiday arrangement. No compensation is payable for minor changes. Minor changes do not entitle you to cancel or change to another holiday without paying our nominal charges: If we do have to make a significant change, one which involves a change of resort, a change of departure point, and a change of departure time by more than 12 hours or accommodation to that of a lower standard of classification we will pay per person a minimum compensation of; Notification of major change more than 28 days before departure £0, 0-28 days £5 pp. We shall be under no further liability to you, nor shall we be liable for any costs or expenses outside the holiday cost. Compensation will not be paid to adults or children travelling on free places but will be paid on a pro rata rate of the adult rate if children have paid a child price. If a significant change is made as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control , the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with due care which include but are not limited to those circumstances set out under the heading Force Majeure compensation we regret cannot be paid. We regret we cannot meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result of any change. No compensation will be applicable where the group leader has failed to sign up the agreed minimum number of passengers. All refunds provided will be paid within 1 month of the refund being approved by a member of the Spring Break Portugal team.
If we have to cancel your booking: We may sometimes be forced to cancel a holiday as all holidays are subject to a minimum number of clients. This happens on very rare occasions when it becomes impossible to run a particular holiday. We must therefore reserve the right to cancel holiday arrangements at our discretion. Where your holiday is cancelled other than due to your default in payment or failure to obtain the minimum number of passengers, we will offer you the choice of either purchasing an alternative holiday of at least the same standard (if available), (and paying or receiving a refund in respect of any price difference) or receiving a full and immediate refund of all monies paid to us. In addition, we will pay you compensation as set out above subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable and liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices cannot be accepted where we are forced to make a change as above subject to the following exceptions. No compensation shall be payable if we cancel as a result of your failure to make up all payments due in full and on time or failure to obtain the minimum number of passengers. iii. In all cases, our liability is limited to offering the above choices and the compensation set out as noted (where applicable). We regret we cannot meet any expenses or costs you incur as a result of any cancellation. No compensation is payable where we cancel more than 4 weeks before departure. Very rarely, we may be forced to cancel or curtail your holiday after the date of departure where circumstances amounting to ‘force majeure’ (as described below) occur. In this very unusual situation we regret we cannot make any refunds, pay any compensation or be responsible for any costs or expenses you may incur as a result.
Force Majeure Except where otherwise expressly specified in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage, loss or expense of any nature as a result of “force majeure”. In these booking conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include, whether actual or threatened, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.
Your Responsibilities: Once the booking form has been signed, it is your responsibility to ensure you behave accordingly whilst on the excursion. Furthermore you must ensure that: a) You are at least 18 years of age. b) All local laws relating to the consumption of alcohol are at all times obeyed c) You do not smoke in a hotel bedroom, caravan, club or apartment, or act in any way that could cause a fire hazard d) You act in a responsible way and do not behave in a way likely to cause damage to property or offence or danger to other people e) You are aware that you are responsible for any damage or loss caused, which must be paid at the time direct to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claim subsequently made against us as a result as well as our own and the suppliers legal costs f) If the behaviour of any member of your party on the excursion is causing or is considered likely to cause offence, danger, damage to property and/or distress to others, we reserve the right at all times, without prior notice, to terminate the excursion of the person(s) concerned or, at our discretion, that of the whole party. If, for example any coach driver, accommodation owner or manager, or senior member of our staff, considers that the behaviour is unacceptable they are authorised to terminate a booking wherever and whenever necessary and require the person(s) to leave the accommodation or property. In this situation, we will have no further responsibility to award such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of termination, cancellation charges will apply.
Dealing with Problems If a complaint arises you should report it as quickly as possible to our representative or agent and the supplier so that efforts can be made to rectify it to your satisfaction. Our representative or emergency contact can deal with most problems on the spot. If we are unable to resolve matters, you must email us at sales@springbreakportugal.com within 28 days of return, explaining the problem fully.

Our Liability to You (1) We promise to do our very best, that the excursion arrangements we have agreed to make, perform or provide as applicable as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that, subject to these booking conditions, we will accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal injury or your contracted excursion arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted excursion arrangements. Please note, it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible for what our employees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if they were at the time acting within the course of their employment (for employees) or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for agents and suppliers). (2) We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (including loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following: the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your excursion and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable or – is due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or – an event which we, or our employees, agents, suppliers and subcontractors, could not, even with all due care, have foreseen or forestalled. ‘force majeure’ as defined in the clause headed “Force Majeure” above (3) Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised by us and we have not agreed to arrange them as part of our contract and any excursion you purchase in resort. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any advertising material or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.
