General Terms & Conditions of Booking

General Terms & Conditions of Booking
1 January 1970

Each booking is a separate and distinct booking and your bookings, even though they may be linked to the same dates of travel do not constitute a package holiday. All bookings are purchased individually at their own individual price. The total price for several bookings is the sum of the price charged for each individual booking which will include Cassidy Travel’s commission.

You are authorizing Cassidy Travel to act as your agent and we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the provider (travel provider) of the travel related service, including among others, Tour Operators, airlines, hotels, insurance companies, cruise companies, car hire and transfer companies. You are bound by the travel provider’s terms and conditions of booking, and these are available on request. If your booking is with the airline, you are the principal and you are authorizing Cassidy Travel to act as your agent in arranging that booking. With all other Travel Providers we are acting as your agent in arranging your booking and the Travel Provider is the principal or the agent to the principal.

  1. The Contract

    No contract shall arise between you and the Travel Provider until Cassidy Travel

    1. Has confirmed the booking with the Travel Provider on your behalf.
    2. Has received your authorization to book the travel arrangements as your agent.
  2. Booking Details

    It is your responsibility to check that all names, dates and timings are correct on receipt of confirmation of your booking and again upon receipt of your documentation and to advise Cassidy Travel of any errors immediately. Please ensure that all names given are the same as per the relevant passport. Any changes to these details will incur amendment fees. Please note that where there is more than one person travelling in the booking, the person who makes the booking and accepts the booking conditions is responsible for all members of the party and for making payment to Cassidy Travel. It is your responsibility to ensure that any information given to you by us or any of our employees or Travel providers is passed onto all members of your party. You must provide contact details, details of the ages of adult/child and infant passengers.

  3. Prices

    All flight, hotel, transfers and car rental prices are subject to availability and offers may be withdrawn or amended at any time without prior notification. Cassidy Travel accepts no liability should any such offer be withdrawn or amended.

    Airfares are not guaranteed until tickets are confirmed and purchased. All fares are subject to confirmation and change prior to ticket issue. The booking classes to which the airfares are quoted are indicative and cannot be guaranteed by Cassidy Travel.

    The terms and conditions imposed by these suppliers should be considered as applied to your contract with Linevana Limited t/a Cassidy Travel. The individual travel providers terms and conditions are available on request.

Moreover, we cannot be held responsible for any loss, damage or expense caused by strike, civil commotion, fire, war, threat of war, terrorist activity, national, natural or nuclear disaster, late delivery, adverse weather conditions or other force majeure or relevant factors which may impact on the services or products of the Travel Providers or of Cassidy Travel for any reason whatsoever. Unforeseen circumstances also include level of water in rivers or floods rising, pandemics (COVID-19, SARS, MERS, etc) closure of airports and industrial disputes involving third parties, technical or maintenance problems or unforeseen operational decisions of air carriers such as changes of schedule or any failure in the information technology infrastructure (including but not limited to our website) or failure in internet connection. Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions we regret that we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by reason of such events beyond our control.
