THE LUXE VOYAGER TERMS & CONDITIONS

The Luxe Voyager provides users of The Luxe Voyager Site with access to sales of rooms and/or holiday packages & tours and related travel services that are offered by its participating partners, service providers, hotels and/or resorts (“the Services”).

The following terms and conditions, and any other terms and conditions (including, for example, brochure terms) which are notified to you in writing before departure, apply to all holidays booked with The Luxe Voyager (‘we’, ‘our’ or ‘us’), which is registered in BVI. Please read these terms and conditions carefully, as they set out your contract with us once you have paid your deposit (or other fee such as in a last minute booking). In the following terms and conditions “you”, “your” and “client” means all persons named on the booking, including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date. “Affiliates & Service Providers” refer to a third party who has agreed to be our affiliate and to host a link for booking a travel related service on our website.

1. Booking and Payment
- a) Save for cases where You book your holiday thru our partner or affiliate sites, which provide a different payment policy, to book a tailored holiday thru us you must first contact us to discuss your itinerary or request a quotation. If you are satisfied with the quotation you should complete, sign and return the booking form to us together with the non-refundable deposit (see below). The lead client who makes the booking is taken to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of and with the authorization of all the persons named on the booking. Written quotations are valid for a period of 15 days from the date of our quotation, unless otherwise indicated.
- b) The deposit, 30% of your total holiday cost, is non-refundable and will be treated as part payment of the holiday. The deposit amount will be shown on the quotation page of your itinerary and should be paid by the lead client. In addition to the deposit, full or part payment may sometimes be required before the balance due date (such as for flights).
- c) Once we receive the deposit we will issue a written confirmation of the booking, at which point a binding contract is formed between us. Once we are able to confirm all elements of your holiday booking, a process that may take several weeks, we will send you a confirmation invoice including details of the balance payment.
- d) Unless a last minute booking, the balance payment is due no later than 10 weeks prior to departure, or at the time of booking if less than 10 weeks prior to departure. The balance due date will be included in the confirmation invoice. If the balance payment is not received by the due date we reserve the right to cancel your booking as per the terms below.
- e) Clients should pay all bank charges for bank transfers. Failure to do so may lead to you being rebilled.
- f) We will always quote the price of your holiday by reference to the base currency in which the booking would be made by us, on the date that the quotation is created. If an adverse currency fluctuation occurs, equal to 2% or more of the overall price during the period between the date of the quotation and the date(s) for payment of the deposit and/or final balance payment for the holiday, we reserve the right to adjust the final balance payment due to reflect such currency fluctuation.
2. Alterations and cancellation by you
- a) If, after we have confirmed a booking, you wish to make alterations to the dates or other details of your booking we will try but cannot promise to meet your request. We require the lead person to notify us of required changes in writing. We reserve the right to charge you 2% of the total holiday booking for changes. If we can make the requested changes you will be provided with a quote detailing any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs imposed by our suppliers.
- b) Cancellations must be notified to us in writing by the lead client and will be effective the day we receive them. For direct bookings on our site, to the extent you are eligible to cancel or change your reservation, such cancelation is subject to the affiliate or property’s cancellation policy noted in your booking confirmation or otherwise provided to you, and may be subject to a cancellation fee. To the extent any credit or refund is due, such amount will be refunded to you in the original form of payment or credited back to the payment card which we originally charged for your booking. All refunds will be paid in the currency in which you originally paid for the booking, as specified by us. For tailored holidays, as we incur costs from the time of your booking, the following cancellation charges will be payable. We will not refund to you any deposits, administrative fees or alterations fees. You must take out holiday insurance that covers cancellation of your booking. Cancellation charges apply as a percentage of the total holiday price, as follows.
  - 75 days or more Deposit only
  - 74 – 50 days: 40%
  - 49 – 29 days: 60%
  - 28 – 7 days: 90%
  - 6 days or less: 100%
  In the event that the cancellation charges of the suppliers we use are more than ours, then the suppliers’ cancellation terms will apply.
- c) If a member of a party is prevented from traveling the person concerned may transfer their place to someone else as long as our suppliers accept the transfer of names, you sign an authorization letter and the transferee signs a booking form. All costs incurred by us and any of our suppliers, an amendment fee of Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) 750, and any overdue balance payment must be paid before any such transfer is effective. If you decide during the course of your holiday to abandon arrangements made by us no liability and no refunds will be made for the service you choose not to take.
- d) Our affiliates and service providers may impose additional rules and restrictions on products and services available through The Luxe Voyager Site. Please read these additional terms and conditions carefully.

You shall also agree that any breach or contravention of any such service provider’s rules and restrictions may result in cancellation of your reservation, in being denied access to the applicable travel products or services, in forfeiting any charges paid for such reservation, and in being charged by us for any costs we incur as a result of such said breach or contravention.
3. Order processing

The Luxe Voyager may, in its sole discretion, choose to not process or to cancel your reservation in certain circumstances.

The Luxe Voyager also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to take steps to verify your identity to process your reservation. The Luxe Voyager will either not charge you or refund the charges for reservations that we do not process or cancel.
4. Alterations and cancellation by us
- a) It is unlikely we will have to make changes to your travel plans and we do our utmost to deliver the holiday we are contracted to provide. However, as we make arrangements many months in advance we occasionally have to make changes and reserve the right to do so.
- b) Most changes are minor and we will inform you of them if possible. Occasionally, we have to make a major change. A major 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 expect to know as a tour operator, we can reasonably expect to have a major effect on your holiday. Major changes may include: price increases, change of your city/resort/place of destination, or change of your accommodation to a lower grade. If we make a major change to your holiday we will inform you as soon as possible. You will then have the choice of: (i) accepting the changes, (ii) accepting an offer of an alternative holiday from us of a similar standard to that already booked, or (iii) cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies due.
5. Force Majeure

We will not accept liability if we are forced by ‘force majeure’ to change or terminate your holiday. ‘Force majeure’ means unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which neither us nor our suppliers could avoid. These may include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity (actual or threatened), industrial dispute, technical problems with transports, machinery or equipment, power failure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, flood, drought or storm, other adverse weather conditions including heavy rainfall, hail, snow or frost.
6. Prices
- a) Once the price of your holiday has been confirmed on your confirmation invoice then subject to the correction of errors, we will only increase the price and request a surcharge in the following circumstances: increases in our transportation charges (including the cost of fuel), dues, taxes, airport charges or the exchange rates used to calculate the cost of your holiday.
- b) Even in the above cases, only if the amount of any increase in our costs exceeds 2% of the total cost of your holiday will we levy a surcharge. If the surcharge is greater than 10% you reserve the right to cancel your holiday within 14 days of our notifying you of the surcharges, after which we reserve the right to add a surcharge over the 10% of the total holiday price.
