Passports, Visas & Health Requirements:All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least 6 months validity from the date of return and some countries require a machine‐readable passport. When assisting with an international travel booking, we will assume that all travellers on the booking have a valid Australian passport. If this is not the case, you must let us know. It is important that you ensure that you have valid passports, visas and re‐entry permits which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility (except to the extent caused by fault on our part). If you need information regarding visas, passports and other travel document requirements for your trip, please let your consultant know or, for online bookings, contact us on 1300 268 120. We can provide you with general information on visa and passport requirements that apply to international travel bookings you make with us. Our consultants can also obtain more specific information from an external visa advisory service provider on your behalf (if you wish, we can assist you to obtain visas through this external service and fees will apply). We do not warrant the accuracy of information provided by any external service and accept no liability for any loss or damage, which you may suffer in reliance on it (except to the extent caused by fault on our part).

Pricing: Prices are not guaranteed until paid in full and documents have been issued. Unless otherwise stated, prices shown are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are fully inclusive of taxes, levies, government charges and other applicable fees. For some international travel product, pricing has been converted to AUD using the exchange rate at the time the booking is made. Variations to your final price may occur due to currency fluctuations and must be requoted on the date of payment. Some fares and specials may be withdrawn without notice, sometimes on the same day as quoting. Tailored Travel and Cruise bears no responsibility to honour a price that is no longer available. If travel is booked for more than one traveller, and the traveller number decreases, the price will increase for the remaining travellers in most cases.

Infants/Children:Please note that bookings for infants do NOT include a seat on an aircraft unless a child price has been paid for. Most hotels/resorts will charge a daily fee on arrival for use of a rollaway or cot. These charges are solely the traveller’s responsibility to pay directly.

Payments: For bookings made with Tailored Travel and Cruise a minimum deposit amount of $100.00 per person for flights and $300.00 per person for holiday packages is charged. Package deposits may be higher depending on supplier requirements. All deposit payments are non-refundable. The due date for balance payment for travel arrangements made via Tailored Travel and Cruise is set with the ticketing deadline imposed by the airline and/or wholesaler. This may be immediate.

Credit Card Payments: Tailored Travel and Cruise reserves the right to charge administration/service fees for payments made by credit card. Card types accepted by Tailored Travel and Cruise are Visa, MasterCard and Amex. Transactions made using these card types incur charges ranging from 1.45-3.1% dependent on the card type used. Tailored Travel and Cruise reserves the right to pass on your credit card details, and any other essential booking details, to a third-party supplier who may charge your card directly for all or part of your booking payment. For details of how we collect and use your personal information please view our Privacy Policy. If your credit card is not approved, we will attempt to contact you but accept no responsibility for any costs incurred in the event we are unable to contact you. Prices may increase during this time. In some instances, you may be required to provide verification documentation to substantiate identity. This is to assist us in validating the integrity of the credit card information. This process is in place to reduce the potential risk of fraud. If we are unable to contact the cardholder to make such verifications Tailored Travel and Cruise cannot accept responsibility for any rebooking costs for missed ticketing deadlines. Under such circumstances any booking arrangements will be cancelled. If for any reason any travel service provider including airlines, do not provide the services to which you have been contracted, the liability is against that provider, and not against Tailored Travel and Cruise. If payment for such a service was made to Tailored Travel and Cruise by credit card or any other method, by accepting these booking conditions, you agree that you will not seek to charge back your payment to Tailored Travel and Cruise.

All Tailored Travel and Cruise service and credit card fees are non-refundable. For any booking made through Tailored Travel and Cruise, we reserve the right to charge a minimum $50 per person for changes made after ticketing. These fees are in addition to any fees charged by the travel provider.

Any claim through an insurance policy that Tailored Travel and Cruise did not issue on your behalf, will incur a $120 administration fee, payable upfront.

Monies Not Held in Trust: All monies paid by you to us will be the property of Tailored Travel and Cruise and will be a debt due and payable to the travel service provider once the services to which the money relates have been provided (except for monies paid for flights with an IATA airline, which might be held on trust for that IATA airline). You agree and acknowledge that such monies will not be held by us on trust for and on behalf of you and we may hold such monies in any account as we see fit, including with our own and/or other customer monies.

Agency: We act as an agent for, and sell various travel related products as agent on behalf of, numerous transport, accommodation and other service providers, such as airlines, coach, rail and cruise line operators, as well as all of our wholesalers. Any services we provide to you are collateral to that agency relationship. Our obligation to you is to (and you expressly authorise us to) make travel bookings on your behalf and to arrange relevant contracts between you and travel service providers. We exercise care in the selection of reputable service providers, but we are not ourselves a provider of travel services and have no control over, or liability for, the services provided by third parties. All bookings are made on your behalf subject to the terms and conditions, including conditions of carriage and limitations of liability, imposed by these service providers. We can provide you with copies of the relevant service provider terms and conditions on request. Your legal rights in connection with the provision of travel services are against the specific provider and, except to the extent a problem is caused by fault on our part are not against us. Specifically, if for any reason (excluding fault on our part) any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your rights are against that provider and not against us.

Liability:To the extent permitted by law, neither Tailored Travel and Cruise nor any of its related bodies corporate, directors, employees or agents accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any injury, damage, loss (including consequential loss), delay, additional expense or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of third party providers over whom we have no direct control, force majeure or any other event which is beyond our control or which is not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part. Our liability will also be limited to the extent that any relevant international conventions, for example the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, limit the amount of compensation which can be claimed for death, injury, or delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. Under circumstances where our liability cannot be excluded and where liability may be lawfully limited, such liability is limited to the remedies required of us under applicable law (including the Australian Consumer Law). This liability clause is subject to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law and nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to limit any rights you may have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).

Governing Law: If any dispute arises between you and us, the laws of Australia will apply. You irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Australia, and waive any right that you may have to object to an action being brought in those courts.
