GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS

BOOKINGS, PAYMENTS & CANCELLATIONS

Your Contract:

These booking terms and conditions govern all bookings that you make with Kaunos Tours (and its villa management company Kaunos Villas), based in Dalyan, Ortaca, Turkey, an A-class travel agency officially registered by TÜRSAB (Association of Turkish Travel Agencies) since 1993 with reg. num. A-3830. Terms and conditions aply to all bookings including tours, accommodations, rent a car and transfers; they also vary depending on whether you make a booking with us for a package holiday or flight only, accommodation only or other separate travel arrangements ("Individual Components"). If you book Individual Components with us, we will make the booking as agent for the relevant supplier(s) (e.g. the airline or hotel supplier) and your contract will be subject to the supplier's own terms and conditions which could limit or exclude liability to you, often in accordance with international conventions. Copies of the supplier's terms and the international conventions are available on request. If you book a package holiday, your contract will be with Kaunos Tours. Please see the terms which apply to package holiday contracts which follow these website agency terms and conditions.

No contract will come into existence until we accept your booking and we receive your full payment in cleared funds. We reserve the right to refuse, at our sole discretion, any booking. For online bookings, the contract will come into existence upon acceptance of the booking conditions presented at the end of the booking process and once we have received your full payment in cleared funds.

All services offered are subject to availability.

When you make a booking, you confirm that you have the authority to accept, and do accept these conditions on your behalf and on behalf of all members of your party and further, if you are making a booking for more than one person, that you are responsible for all payments due from each and every party member for whom you are making a booking.

It is your responsibility to ensure that any information which you give us is accurate and that information which is given to you by us or any of our suppliers is passed on to all members of your party.

Bookings made online:

If you book online, you must provide us with all information which we require. You must also ensure that the credit card you are using is your own (or, subject to our agreement, if it is a third party's you have their express authorisation, to use their credit or debit card) and that sufficient funds are available to cover the cost of the arrangements which you book with us.

When we receive and accept your booking we will send you a confirmation e-mail and invoice and debit payment from you. We do not make any representation or warranty as to the availability of any package holiday, flight or Individual Components nor that our booking services are free from infection of viruses or anything else that has a contaminating or destructive effect on your property.

Bookings made by telephone:

If you make a booking by telephone you must provide us with all information which we require. You must also ensure that all information which you provide is accurate and that the credit card you are using is your own or, subject to our agreement, if it is a third party's you have their express authorisation to use their credit or debit card and that sufficient funds are available to cover the cost of the arrangements which you book with us.

If we accept your booking, we shall debit payment from you and send you a confirmation invoice. From this point on, cancellation charges will apply. Please note that a telephone booking confirmation is as firmly confirmed as if it were made/confirmed in writing immediately. As soon as you receive the confirmation, please check the details carefully and inform us immediately if anything appears to be incorrect as it may not be possible to make changes later.

Payments:

All fees include the Turkish VAT. Kaunos Tours accepts payments by credit card (Visa or Mastercard) or cash, both in Turkish Lira, GBP, Euro or US Dollars. On-line payments are possible by credit card only. If you do not wish to use your card for any reason, please contact us by e-mail for our bank details for wire transfer payments.

Credit card payments may be subject to a surcharge by banks; you will be informed about any surcharges and it is your responsibility to cover such fees. Please note we do not accept responsibility for cash sent by courier or post, even if sent by registered or recorded delivery post or any other special delivery.

All bookings require full payment at time of booking for confirmation. Reservations made without full payment will be treated as conditionally confirmed, pending full payment, which must be done 60 days prior to tour/service start date; you must pay the balance by the due date shown on the confirmation invoice. If the booking is made within 60 days of departure, full payment must be made at the time of booking. On conditions where this is not possible for you for any reason, please contact us by e-mail for conditional reservations. 

Please note for telephone bookings full payment may be required IMMEDIATELY, i.e. before you receive our confirmation invoice. If this applies, you will be advised when the booking is made.

It is very important that you pay balances when due, as failure to do so may lead to the cancellation of your holiday/flights and still leave you liable to pay cancellation charges. Where an extra booking charge applies, this will be advised at the time of booking. 

We reserve the right to increase or decrease brochure prices and to change any information in our brochures or on our website before a booking is made.You will be informed about the correct up to date price before you book. Until full payment has been received, the price of your booking may increase as a result of fuel or other surcharges which may be imposed by suppliers; you will be informed about any increase as soon as we know them.

Once a booking has been accepted by Kaunos Tours or Kaunos Villas it can only be changed to either another property or different dates by treating the original booking as a cancellation.  Holiday dates may be changed providing the property is available for the new dates and the owner is agreeable to the change.  A £20 Administration Fee will be payable.

We reserve the right to refuse any booking and to cancel on behalf of the owner any booking already made if the property is unavailable (ie. Through fire, flood etc) for any reason whatsoever subject to a full refund of all monies paid less a £20 Administration Fee.  In the unlikely event of a cancellation, we will make every possible effort to secure alternative accommodation if required.
