All the holidays listed here are organised by CHINA TOURS LTD (Hereinafter called The Company or We), of 10 Locke King Close, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 0TA, and are sold subject to the following conditions:

1). Booking and Deposit
To make a booking , you must send the completed and signed booking form accompanied by a deposit of 100.00 per person plus insurance premium if applicable to us.

2). Final Balance
We will send you a confirmation/invoice, normally within 14 days of our receiving your booking form. If we are unable to confirm your booking, we will immediately refund your deposit. The confirmation/invoice will confirm the details of your holiday booking and show the outstanding balance, which must be paid no later than 60 days before your departure. Cheques should be made payable to CHINA TOURS LTD. Anyone wishing to pay by credit card should be aware that we have to pass on the charge levied to us by the credit card company for processing such a payment.

3). Late Bookings
If your trip is less than 60 days away, please phone first to check availability. Full payment is due on booking. If the booking is made less than 50 days before departure, a guaranteed payment is required, i.e.. building society cheque, debit card or credit card payment. We regret we cannot accept personal cheques in this case. There is a late booking fee of 25.00 per booking to cover extra expanse if your departure is less than 31 days away.

4). Change your Bookings
Well do our best to accommodate any change of holiday details you may wish to request. But we cannot guarantee you such a request. If you require a change 60 days before your departure, a 20.00 administration charge will apply. After that, additional charges may incur to you from our suppliers. If you are unable to travel for any reason, you may transfer your booking to someone else, provided that person is acceptable to us. And in this case a 20.00 administration charge will apply.

5). Cancellation Charges

43 - 60 days before departure: 15% of the holiday cost

We will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the holiday price which excludes insurance premium and amendment charges. Only amounts in excess of 2% will be surcharged. No administration charge will be applicable. If this means paying more than 10% of the holiday price, you will be entitled to cancel your holiday with a full refund of all the money paid except for any premium paid to us for holiday insurance and amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel because of this, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on the surcharge invoice.

9). Our Responsibility
We accept responsibility for death, illness or injury which you may suffer on holiday as a result of the negligence of our agents, suppliers or their sub-contractors (excluding

any domestic, internal or international carriers), provided they were acting within the scope or in the course of their employment when the accident occurred. Should you suffer any injury, illness or death whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of the holiday arrangements or excursions through us, we shall at our discretion offer advice, guidance and assistance in the bringing of legal proceedings to resolve any claim you may have against a third party, provided the Company is advised of the incident within 90 days of the occurrence. Our authority must be obtained prior to commencement of the proceedings, which are also subject to your undertaking to assign any costs recovered or any benefits received under an appropriate insurance policy to ourselves. Our costs in respect of the above are limited to 5000.00 in total.
