CANCELLATION OF THE TOUR BY CLIENT:

As the services to be provided to the tour participants are booked several months in advance, cancellation of such services earmarked for a particular departure results in the Enterprise losing money depending upon the time of cancellation to the supplier. Therefore, any cancellation of tour/services booked by a tour participant will attract cancellation charges along with GST of 18%, as specified. If the Tour participant books a third-party product or service, the Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy of such third-party would be applicable in addition to our Terms and Conditions. Any cancellation of tour/services has to be in writing clearly stating the reasons for cancellation.
If circumstances make you cancel your tour, the cancellation must be intimated to us by email at holidayadvisor@goodtimes.co.in

If you wish to cancel your tour, you must intimate us as follows provided that such intimation should be in writing duly signed by each of the Clients seeking cancellation and given on a working day within working hours:

Similarly, if your Travel Agent cancels, it will be deemed and construed that all the clients and you agree with the same. The computation of the period of notice of cancellation shall commence only from the time the written request reaches us as per the details listed above.

In case of cancellation the following cancellation shall apply:

We reserve the right to determine the quantum of refund payable in case of cancellation or amendment of a Tour due to Force Majeure or Vis Majeure. Such refund would be based on various factors like the number of participants, the Cancellation Policies of suppliers like hoteliers, airlines, coach operators, etc. and the decision of us on the quantum of refund shall be final. Even for payments made in foreign currency with or without part payment in Indian rupees, the said refund shall be made only in Indian Rupees at the prevailing buying rate of exchange on the date of refund as per existing Rules & Regulations without interest.
Refunds (if any) for amendments and/or cancellations will be made directly to Clients by us after deducting applicable GST. In case of refund in foreign currency component, the said refund shall be made in INR only at the prevailing buying rate on the date of refund as per existing statutes, rules and regulations. It would take at least 60 days depending upon the refund policy of suppliers to process such refunds.
VISA fees are non-refundable under ALL circumstances, even if the same is rejected by the issuing authorities for reasons beyond our control.

In case we exercise our discretionary rights to alter, amend or cancel any Tour or tour advertised, the Client who has booked for such Tour can exercise the option:

• To continue with the Tour as altered or amended; or
• To accept any alternative Tour, which we may offer; or
• To unconditionally accept the return of the tour cost charges (after deduction of the actual expenses incurred by us on your booking like visa, insurance premium, ticket voiding charges, POE charges and other overheads as applicable from case to case) in full and final settlement and we shall not be liable/responsible to pay the Client, compensation, consequential loss, damages, additional expenses or interest charges over and above as is computed by us as per these ‘Terms & Conditions’. The Client will not be entitled to make any grievance thereafter in respect of the same.

In the case of the Client travelling on an amended Tour, the legal relationship between the parties shall not change only by virtue of the amendment. The Client opting to continue with the tour arrangements as altered or amended shall pay additional charges if any levied by us.

RATE OF EXCHANGE APPLICABLE TO REFUNDS:

Please note that refunds of foreign exchange component of the tour cost will be based on our buying rate of that date. When we receive Indian Rupees from you in relation to a booking, we convert them into the foreign exchange component of the tour cost at our selling rate, then applicable and credit the proceeds in our bank account. When we refund the foreign exchange component to you in Indian Rupees, we do so at our buying rate applicable on the date of refund, because the bank will convert the money at the buying rate and credit the same in Indian Rupees.

NO REFUND FOR UNUTILIZED SERVICES:

It is clearly understood that there shall be no refund or compensation whatsoever for unutilized services. This general rule applies to all kinds of non-utilization or under-utilization of tour services, whether of the whole or part of the tour and whether as a matter of your choice or caused by your fault or compelled by circumstances such as ill-health, weather, external factors etc.

As a consequence of the above rule, please note that no refund will be admissible in the following circumstances (amongst others).

• If you fail to join the tour at the commencement of the tour or join later or leave before the culmination of the tour for any reasons whatsoever.
• If you fail to or are unable to utilize any of the services on the tour like airline travel, hotels, sightseeing, rides, cruises, meals, entrance fees, optional tours etc. due to any reason whatsoever such as late reporting, ill-health etc.
• If you terminate your participation in the tour due to your own fault, negligence or breach of these Terms.
• In the case of multi-country package tour wherein, there may be a requirement for Visa of multiple jurisdictions, there will be no refund if Visa is rejected due to which you are unable to travel to that specific destination for which the Visa has been rejected or delayed.

INTERPRETATION:

As to the interpretation of the aforesaid terms and conditions, our decision shall be final and binding upon you. We reserve the right to change the Terms & Conditions at any time without any prior notice and without assigning any reasons thereof.
