Agency Fees For Cancellation
SOUTH TRAVEL INC o/a THE TRAVEL LADY AGENCY
(the “Agency”)
AGENCY FEES FOR CANCELLATION AND ANCILLARY OR ADDITIONAL SERVICES
1 BASIS AND APPLICATION OF OUR FEES
1.1 When a reservation for Travel Services is cancelled, the Agency necessarily incurs disbursements and the additional costs of its consultants and accounting staff who process the cancellation and customer refunds. In addition to these direct costs, cancellation of Travel Services usually results in a financial cost to the Agency arising from the loss of commission that would otherwise be available as compensation to the Agency and its consultants for their time and expertise in advising on and booking travel arrangements on a customer’s behalf;
1.2 Similar costs to those referred to in 1.1 may also be incurred by the Agency when a customer, either before or during their trip, requests a variation to or other assistance with their travel arrangements such as an extension or early return, change of itinerary or accommodation, assistance relating to an insurance or medical issue or the like;
1.3 Having regard to the above, the relevant fees and disbursements set out in Schedule A will apply in the event of a reservation made through the Agency being cancelled by a customer (either through the Agency or directly by the customer) as envisaged in 1.1 or any additional work being requested by a customer as envisaged in 1.2. These Agency fees and disbursements are in addition to any cancellation fees, penalties or other charges that may be due to the Suppliers of any cancelled Travel Services as provided in the Suppliers’ own terms and conditions. (Available on request)
2 HOW AGENCY FEES ARE CHARGED
2.1 The applicable fees and disbursements will be invoiced with reference to the Agency Schedule of Fees that applied at the date when the customer booked the travel arrangements to which the cancellation, variation applies. Most fees are specified as a set amount on the Schedule but, where they are based on time spent, the invoice will include a summary of the attendances by the consultant or other members of staff who dealt with the matter.
2.2 The fees and disbursements referred to in 2.1 will be payable upon invoicing. The Agency however reserves the right at any stage to require a deposit to cover anticipated fees where it determines, in its discretion, that a considerable amount of work will be required to complete the services and/or that it will incur substantial disbursements. Where there is a current credit card on file for the travel arrangements to which the cancellation, variation or additional service applies, the amount of the invoice will be charged to that card by the Agency.
