Terms and Conditions

Please read these booking conditions carefully as they incorporate the basis upon which bookings are accepted by Teed Up Travel.

 

Teed Up Travel* is not itself a transport or accommodation (products) provider. It acts only as an agent for those product providers. It is therefore important for you that you obtain and read the product provider’s terms and conditions applicable to the products in your package, and make sure you are aware of any exclusions or limitations of liability imposed by the product provider.

 

Travel insurance is recommended: Please ensure that you have adequate travel insurance to cover any unforeseen cancellations.

 

How to Book: Select your requirements and contact us by email, phone, fax or directly at our premises. Please note that all reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only of the price, which will be subject to revision on confirmation of the reservation.

 

Changes in Prices and Itineraries: All prices are in Australian dollars (except where noted). Prices are inclusive of taxes and charges that apply from 1 July 2017, but do not include any fees that may be imposed directly by third parties. Prices are provided as a guide only and may vary due to changes in taxes or charges or due to currency fluctuations. Please note that the price of your arrangements may change at any time up to 30 days before your departure even if you have paid all or part of the quoted price of your tour package. In addition whilst every care is taken in providing accurate prices and information, fluctuations can occur which are beyond our control. If we have to change any of your arrangements for reasons beyond our control, for example if an airline changes its schedules, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation or it there are any changes in applicable taxes or charges, we will notify you. If such changes result in your tour package costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then you may cancel the tour package and we will refund any monies already paid less charges levied by suppliers. The cost of escorted tours may vary according to the number of passengers on the tour. If numbers drop below a certain level the cost of the tour may be subject to increase. Teed Up Travel* constantly strives to improve tour itineraries and features. If such improvements can be made or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels.

 

Goods and Services Tax (GST): All prices and charges are inclusive of Australian GST where applicable.

 

Airfares: All airfares are subject to availability and special conditions apply to the fares used. Any airfare deadline will override the published final payment date and if not paid within the time frame may result in increased charges.

 

Deposits: A 20% deposit is required within 7 days to confirm booking unless otherwise notified. Some tours will require additional and subsequent deposits due prior to the final payment date. These are paid to the supplier to secure the land arrangements. These deposits are NON REFUNDABLE.

 

Full payment requirements: Full payment is due 45 days prior to departure. If for any reason we do not receive your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and apply the appropriate cancellation charges. A deposit holds services requested but does not guarantee prices. Late bookings are subject to full payment being received at the time of booking and full payment of any additional costs incurred for obtaining the services required.

 

All monies paid for tours will be deposited into Teed Up Travel Travel Client Trust Account .

 

Credit Card Payments: An additional fee of 1.10% (Visa and Mastercard) and 2.00% (American Express) will apply if payments are made by credit card. Please note that we may not accept American Express and Diners cards on some tours and if we do higher credit card fees will apply.

 

Foreign Currency payments: If your tour is costed in foreign currency, we will advise the rate of exchange on the day of final payment. The final payment will be for the full tour price in the applicable foreign currency converted to AU$ based on the best foreign currency rate from the Major 4 banks on the day.  The deposit will then be deducted from this to give your the balance owing.  You may have the option to lock in a rate with our FX  advisors within 12 months of the tour departure date if you wish. Once locked in, the exchange rate becomes a binding contract and the full balance must be paid within 5 working days.

 

Cancellation, alterations and refunds:

 Cancellations by the client must be in writing to Teed Up Travel* and are subject to the following forfeit of cost per person:

 * Cancellation 60 days or more before departure date: 20% of the package value lost

* Cancellation between 60 days and 21 days before departure date: 50% of the package value lost

 * Cancellation less than 21 days before departure date: 100% of the package value lost.

 

Some tours may have different cancellation terms and these will be advised accordingly in the tour itinerary and will take precedent over these terms above.

 

Teed Up Travel* reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any tour departure in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond our control. Teed Up Travel* is not responsible for any costs for other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations of rescheduling of any tour departure. If you cancel or terminate your booking any deposits paid will be forfeited. After final payment is made the booking will be subject to fees imposed by airlines, ground operators and hotels amounting to all or part of the cost paid.

 

Amendment and Document reissue fees: Teed Up Travel* reserves the right to charge amendment fees if you alter your requirements more than once in any given booking, in addition to any charges imposed by operators and suppliers. A document reissue means an alternation to an existing booking and not a transfer to another package wherein cancellation fees may apply.

 

Tour Membership: Teed Up Travel* reserves the right to withdraw from the tour any person whose behavior is deemed likely to effect the smooth operation of the tour or adversely effect the enjoyment or safety of any other passengers.

Refunds: No refund is available for cancellations after tour package has commenced or in respect of any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilized.
