Booking Conditions

The following booking conditions form the basis of your Holiday Contract with Sarl Savoie Flair. They set out our respective rights and obligations and you should therefore read them carefully.

1. Making your booking.
To make your booking, you must complete our booking form. This must be signed by the party leader (who must be at least 18 years of age) on behalf of all persons named on the booking form confirming your acceptance of these booking conditions. The party leader will be responsible for all payments due in respect of the arrangements purchased. Once we have received your booking reservation enquiry, the booking will be held for you for 5 days. The booking form must then be forwarded to us together with a payment of
£100 (not including bank charges) per person to secure the booking. If booking 10 weeks or less before departure the full payment must be made at the time of booking. In addition, it is essential you take out appropriate insurance cover at the time of booking (for more information see clause 4 below). Once we have received your booking form and all appropriate payments, we will, subject to availability, confirm your holiday by issuing a booking confirmation letter and invoice. This confirmation letter and invoice will be sent to you. The confirmation letter will include any special arrangements we have agreed to provide and forms part of your Holiday Contract. The letter will also include the final date by which full payment must be made. Failure to settle the required balance by this date could lose you your booking and any deposit paid (see section 7) Please check the confirmation letter and invoice carefully as soon as you receive it and raise any queries immediately.

2. Your contract.
A binding contract between us comes into existence when we dispatch our confirmation letter and invoice to you. This contract and all matters arising out of it are governed by French law. In the unlikely event of any dispute between us, we both agree this will be dealt with by the courts of France.

3. Payment.
As mentioned above, a payment of
£100 (not including bank charges) per person must be made before we can confirm your holiday. For bookings made 10 weeks or less before departure, full payment is required at the time of booking. The balance of the holiday price must be received by us not less than 8 weeks prior to departure. After we have dispatched your confirmation/invoice, no further reminders will be sent. If payment is not received in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you. In this case the cancellation charges set out in clause 7 below will be payable. You may pay by cheque (UK bank or building society), sterling bankers draft, Euro cheque, in cash (euros) or by most credit/charge/debit cards (A 1% charge will be made for all credit card payments). Payments made by credit card will be taken in Euros and the exchange rate will be taken as the commercial exchange rate on the day of booking confirmation as specified by x-rates.com. We take no responsibility for differences in the exchange rate offered to you by your card company. If any cheque is dishonoured, we reserve the right to charge Euros 20 (not including bank charges) to cover our administration costs.

3.1 Child prices

Child prices are calculated by offering a 20% discount on the full advertised adult price if they share their own room. If a child shares a room with two adults only then will a further 20% will be discounted.

4. Insurance.
You must be adequately insured for your holiday. If you decide not to take out the insurance we offer through Fogg Travel Insurance Services Ltd (which we strongly advise should be taken out at the time of booking by clicking on the link.), you must within 28 days of booking provide us with written details of your alternative insurance policy (which must offer at least comparable cover to the one we advertise). You must confirm in writing that you do not need our policy, that yours offers equivalent cover and you indemnify us from any claim whatsoever resulting from your decision to provide your own insurance cover. Please note, pregnancy and ill health may affect insurance cover. Please ensure you read your insurance policy document as soon as you receive it and take it on holiday. It is your responsibility to ensure the insurance cover you purchase (whether it is the policy we offer, or another one) is suitable and adequate for your particular requirements.

5. The cost of your holiday arrangements.
We reserve the right to increase or decrease the prices of unsold arrangements at any time before your booking is confirmed. You will be given the correct current price of your chosen arrangements at the time of booking. Once your booking has been confirmed, we will guarantee not to surcharge any existing booked arrangements. This guarantee does not cover changes by you which may add to the facilities or services you receive and which may involve additional costs. Costs charged by carriers with whom you have a separate contract - even if arranged by us - may be subject to surcharges.

6. Changes by you.
Should you wish to make any changes to your arrangements after they have been confirmed, you must advise us in writing. Whilst we will endeavour to assist, we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet any such requests. Any alterations made to the existing booking except additions will be deemed to be a cancellation and the charges set out in clause 7 will apply. It may also be necessary to levy  a small administration charge to process any alterations.
Change of outward and/or return date of holiday treated as cancellation and re-booking - cancellation charges apply as set out in Clause 7.

7. Cancellation by you.
Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your chosen holiday once it has been confirmed, the person who signed the booking form must immediately advise us in writing. Cancellation charges will then be payable as set out below to compensate us for the cost of making your booking and the risk that we may be unable to re-sell your cancelled arrangements. These charges are calculated from the date written notice of the cancellation is received by us as a percentage of the total price payable excluding insurance premiums and any amendment charges which are non refundable in the event of your cancellation.

Period before departure within which written notification of cancellation is received by us Cancellation charge
More than 56 days Deposit
56-42 days 30%
41-28 days 50%
27-14 days 80%
Less than 14 days 100%

In addition to the cancellation charge, we reserve the right to pass on any charges made by the suppliers of any services booked by us on your behalf. Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your insurance policy.

8. Alterations and /or cancellations by us
We reserve the right to make minor alterations to brochure, website and holiday details before and after bookings have been confirmed. In the case of a minor or significant alteration being made we will advise you at the earliest possible date. In the event of a significant alteration, you may accept to cancel your holiday and receive a full refund. Sarl Savoie Flair will pay no compensation.

Very occasionally it may be necessary to for us to cancel a confirmed holiday. We must reserve the right to do so. If we do so you will receive a full refund of all monies paid. We accept no legal liability and will pay no compensation.

Very rarely we may be forced to curtail your holiday after the date of departure where circumstances amounting to 'force majeure' occur as set out in clause 9 below. In this very unusual situation, we regret that we cannot make refunds (except where refunds are made from a supplier ), meet any cost or expenses you may incur as a result or pay any compensation.

9. Force Majeure.
We regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by '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 war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.

10. Our liability to you.
We accept responsibility for ensuring that all parts of our contract with you are properly performed subject to the following exceptions. We cannot accept liability where any failure to perform or improper performance was due to:-
1. the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or
2. those of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable or
3. an event which either ourselves or the supplier of the services in question could not have foreseen or forestalled even with all due care.
4. ACTIVITIES WITH Sarl Savoie Flair - if you carry out any activities with a member of Sarl Savoie Flair staff or representative of Sarl Savoie Flair, Sarl Savoie Flair cannot take any responsibility for injuries howsoever caused. At all times clients must use their own judgements based on their abilities, and all activities are at their own risk.

11. Complaints.
In the event that you have reason to complain whilst on holiday with us, you should immediately notify a member of staff. By raising complaints early, they can often be dealt with quickly so the rest of the holiday can continue to your satisfaction. If you are still unhappy after your initial complaint, please ask to see the Resort Director. It is in your best interests to follow this procedure, but if you choose not to, or you are not satisfied with the way your complaint has been handled, you have 28 days from the end of the holiday in which to write to us with full details. We cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause.

12. Conditions of suppliers.
Please note that all services are provided subject to the conditions of the relevant supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or exclude the supplier's liability to you, usually in accordance with the appropriate international conventions.

13. Special requests.
If you have a special request, please clearly note it on your booking form or if after booking, make it in writing. A special request will only be binding if we have confirmed in writing that it will be complied with. Therefore, unless we have agreed in writing to provide such a service or facility, failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part. If we undertake to pass on requests to suppliers or other service providers (for instance ski schools or airlines) we cannot guarantee such requests will be met even if we have confirmed that they have been passed on. If you have any medical problem or disability which may affect your holiday, you must advise us in writing at the time of booking giving full details. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate your particular needs, we must reserve the right to decline your booking, or cancel it when we find out the full details if you fail to provide these at the time of booking.

14. Delay.
We regret we are not in a position to assist you in the event of delay at your outward or homeward point of departure. Any airline concerned, may, however, provide refreshments etc.

15. Client Liability
When you book a holiday with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be made at the time to ourselves or the third party concerned. If you fail to do so, you must indemnify us against any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against us as a result of your actions. We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. For the comfort of all our guests we operate a strict  NO smoking policy in our chalet. If in our reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in authority you or any member of your party behave in such a way as to cause or to be likely to cause distress, danger or annoyance to any third party (including other clients and staff) or damage to property, we reserve the right to terminate the holiday of the person concerned without notice and ask them to leave the premises. In this situation, our responsibilities towards that person (including any return transport arrangements) will immediately cease and we will not be responsible for meeting any costs or expenses they may incur as a result. We will not make any refunds or pay any compensation to the individual involved or to members of his/her party or associates wishing to curtail their holiday as a result.

16. Passport, visa and health requirements.

We cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto a flight or into any country due to failure on your part to carry the correct passport, visa or other documents required by any airline or authority. Requirements may change and you should check the up-to-date position with the passport office and your doctor in good time before departure. Before travelling you are advises to check with your own doctor for your own medical requirements.
 

17. Accompanied skiing

Ski guiding / accompaniment is provided as a free service to our clients, to comply with French regulations. This service does not form any part of your holiday contract and/or holiday cost. This service will not be offered on every day of your holiday and we reserve the right to withdraw this service at any time. Should this service be withdrawn, we cannot be held responsible. All clients ski at their own risk. We cannot be held responsible for any accidents or injuries, however caused.

 A complimentary chalet minibus service will transport you around the resort. This service is designed to take you to and collect you from prearranged starting and finishing points at the beginning and at the end of the day. We reserve the right to withdraw this service should the situation arise.
