Terms and Conditions

1. When you make a booking with 2:09 Events Ltd you must complete our online booking form outlining all the travel arrangements required. After we receive your booking, we will send you a deposit invoice, your booking is confirmed when you pay the deposit. Payment of your deposit is confirmation that you accept these booking conditions. Until you pay the deposit your booking is not confirmed. Non-standard tour arrangements such as those that may involve the issuing of an airline ticket at the time of purchase is subject to full payment at the time of booking.

2. The price of your holiday is that shown on your confirmation/invoice, which you will receive after you have paid the deposit and may vary from the price shown in any brochures or websites. In most cases we hold guaranteed group prices for services, however, some tour arrangements are not fixed to allow flexibility and increases in fares or other costs may occur. Any variation in the advertised price will be indicated at the time of booking. Once agreed and a confirmation/ invoice has been issued there will no change to the prices except for government imposed increases in taxes or fuel supplements imposed by transport providers.

3. The balance of the price of your holiday must be paid at least 70 days before the departure date and will be shown on your confirmation/invoice. If the balance is not paid in time we reserve the right to cancel your holiday, retain your deposit and race entry fees and apply cancellation charges set out below.

4. If, after our confirmation has been issued, you wish to make changes to the arrangements, we will do our utmost to make the changes, provided that notification is received in writing at our offices from the person who is the lead booker, or from their agent, at least 10 weeks before departure. In addition to any charges levied by the airlines, hotels, or other suppliers an administration charge of £30 will be levied by 2:09 Events Ltd to cover our costs in making any changes and for re-issuing your invoice. Any alteration by you within 10 weeks of departure and any such request for an alteration will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and will be subject to the cancellation charges set out below. Certain travel arrangements and airline tickets once issued are non-changeable and non-transferable and therefore cannot be changed, any alteration requests will incur a 100% cancellation charge and new arrangements or tickets will be charged at the fares applicable at the time of your request.

5. You, or any member of your party, may cancel their holiday at any time providing that the cancellation is communicated by the lead booker and provided in writing. As this incurs administrative costs, we will retain your deposit and race entry fees. If the number of persons booked changes, the holiday costs will be recalculated on the basis of the amended party size, and you will need to pay any difference in the holiday price. Our ability to recover payments made to suppliers for travel arrangements on your behalf will be reduced the closer to the departure date your cancellation is received.

A sliding scale of charges reflects the risk to 2:09 Events Ltd. and will be applied to your cancellation invoice as follows:

More than 70 days: Deposit only.

Less than 70 days prior to departure: 100% % of tour costs plus race entry fees. The customer has no claim to reimbursement.

In cases where 2:09 Events acts at the reseller of another agent’s travel package; the cancellation terms will be those of that agent rather than the terms stated above. Any new cancellation conditions will be communicated to you at the time of booking.

6. We strongly recommend that you take our travel insurance for the duration of your trip. It is your responsibility to take out any such Travel Insurance. 2:09 Events Ltd is not authorized to sell travel insurance. If the reason for any cancellation is covered under the terms of an insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges less any excess amounts. Ensure that you take out Travel Insurance that is appropriate to the activities you are taking part in.

7. If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform our representative/agent/hotel reception, who will endeavour to put things right quickly. If your complaint cannot be resolved locally, your representative/agent/hotel reception will ask you to complete a report, the original of which is for you and a copy will be forwarded to our head office. Please follow this up in writing within 28 days of your return home.

8. It is unlikely we will have to make any changes to your holiday, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally changes may be made, which we reserve the right to do at any time. Most of these changes are minor. However, if a major change becomes necessary, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before departure.
