Bookings, Change of Arrangements, Routes and Prices:
"The booking" or "the reservation" refer to part, or all of the travel arrangements for transportation, accommodation, sightseeing and other linked travel services made on behalf of a client with Third Party Service Providers, and excludes services of a peripheral nature. Any booking made by Clic Travel constitutes a form of contract between you and the Third Party Service Providers and is consequently subject to the terms and conditions of Clic Travel and such Third Party Service Providers’ conditions of agreement of business.
For example: if you book Car Hire through Clic Travel, from a third parties company, you are accepting all booking conditions and Terms and conditions of that Car hire company, as well as these of Clic Travel.
It is your responsibility to contact Clic Travel for the principals Terms and Conditions before your trip.
In the event of there being an unscheduled extension to the booking caused by flight delay, bad weather, schedule changes by the Airline, strike or any other cause that is beyond the control of Clic Travel, it is understood that expenses relating to these unscheduled extensions (hotel accommodation, flights, etc) will be for your account.
Airlines reserve the right to withdraw airfares without notice. We cannot guarantee airfares and airport taxes until paid in full and the air tickets have been issued. Certain destinations may also require a departure tax which is payable locally upon departure. These are not included in the pricing quoted. Prices are subject to change without notice until payment has been received in full, whether a reservation has been made or not. By accepting this confirmation and offering payment, therefore it will be deemed that you have read, understood and accept our terms and conditions.
Price Changes:
The price quoted to you is based on airfares, hotel prices and other relevant costs ruling at the date of Clic Travel's quote. In the event of there being any increase in costs after the booking but prior to the issuing of the documents, this variation shall be for your account and payable on request by Clic Travel, as shall any increase in the price(s) quoted arising from the fluctuation in rates of exchange.
Documents will not be issued until such time that full payment is cleared by Clic Travel's bank. The onus will be on you to check that there has been no changes in the price prior to making full and final payment. However, airfares are subject to the price and conditions quoted by the airlines and cannot be guaranteed by Clic Travel.
Deposits, Additional Charges and Payments:
Any booking made by Clic Travel on your behalf, constitutes a form of contract between you and the third party service providers. Should these third party providers renege or deliver sub-standard services, this matter will be between the third party operator and the client/you. Clic Travel will assist to claim any refunds, losses and claims that the clients may have. In no way, may Clic Travel be held liable for any claim or cost.
Deposits and/or full payments paid over to the third party, on clients behalf, by Clic Travel, constitutes a contract between you/client and the third party. Should the third party liquidate, close, not deliver on the contracted agreement, Clic Travel will endeavour to assist the client/you to claim this money back, or assist to claim a similar replacement service. Clic Travel may in no way be held liable should this money, payment or service not be carried out by the third party due to above circumstances or any other. In the event that any third party service provider is unable to provide the service confirmed to you, Clic Travel's policy is to always offer the client an alternative option of similar classification, wherever possible in the same area. Whilst every effort is made to keep to original itinerary/booking, Clic Travel reserves the right to make changes as are deemed necessary. In some cases, conditions such as the weather may necessitate an alteration to the travel itinerary and this does not constitute any ground for a refund. It is your duty to check each amendment to the final itinerary or confirmation. Unless full payment is due at the time of making the booking, all bookings must be accompanied by the requested deposit to guarantee a booking. Clic Travel reserves the right to cancel any booking without prejudice, in the event of full payment or a deposit or part thereof not being received.
Final payment for any booking must be made upon confirmation of the booking, unless specific arrangements have been made with Clic Travel and such arrangement confirmed in writing by Clic Travel.
Final payment is based on the quoted and confirmed price, less any deposit paid, plus any additional charges that may have incurred. If the final payment is not received on time, the travel documents can be delayed and may necessitate the use of a courier service, which will be for your account or Clic Travel may cancel the booking.
Late payment may also result in cancellation of the reservation by the Third Party Service Providers.
When paying by credit card you will be required to complete Clic Travel credit card authorisation form and comply with the authorisation criteria as laid down by the respective credit card companies.
Any invoice and/or statement received by you shall be payable in full and no deduction or alteration may be made by you should all or any part of the services booked by Clic Travel be unused for any reason.
Methods of Payment:
All major credit cards except Diners, if accompanied by satisfactory identification and a signed credit card authorisation form.
Electronic funds transfer (proof of payment must be e-mailed to Clic Travel - info@clictravel.co.za)

Travel Insurance:
It is strongly advised that all clients take out adequate travel insurance cover in order to cover instances such as cancellation due to illness, accident or injury, personal accident and personal liability, loss of or damage to baggage and sports equipment. Insurance can only be purchased prior to departure. Travel Insurance and options should be discussed with your travel consultant. It is not the responsibility of Clic Travel to take out travel insurance for you except upon detailed instructions given in writing by you.
Cancellation:

However, Clic Travel reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee of up to 100% of the total package, in its sole discretion, in particular circumstances. Any monies, which you have already paid to us, will be taken by us as payment or part payment of any cancellation charges.
