Disclaimer

We try to ensure that the information provided on the website and in promotional material is accurate and up to date. However, resort and supplier information can change and errors can regrettably occur. We reserve the right to amend and/or give notice of any significant changes at the time of booking and recommend that you undertake a level of independent research or speak to us should you wish to clarify any information.

Terms and Conditions

The Terms & Conditions below apply to all bookings made with Islandii Ltd. We are registered in the United Kingdom:

Islandii Ltd.,

Business Registration no. 11988247,

Office address: 124 City Road, London, England, EC1V 2NX.

The following terms and conditions (“booking conditions”) form the basis of your contract with Islandii Ltd.. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. By asking us to confirm your booking, we are entitled to assume that you have had the opportunity to read and have read these terms and conditions and agree to them.

Except where otherwise stated, these booking conditions only apply to holiday arrangements that you book with us online and which we agree to make, provide or perform (as applicable) as part of our contract with you. All references in these booking conditions to “holiday”, “booking”, “contract”, “package”, “tour” or “arrangements” mean such holiday arrangements unless otherwise stated.

In these booking conditions, “you” and “your” means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date) or any of them, as the context requires and “lead name” means the person who makes the booking. “We”, “us” and “our” means Islandii Ltd.

Before booking

We hope your Islandii holiday will live up to expectations, so it is very important that you choose the right holiday. We are always happy to advise and give you our professional opinion; however, we recommend that you also conduct your own independent research to ensure you are happy with the arrangements made.

Before sending a request, please, provide flight details, as well as sometimes resort, can’t provide you with a transfer to/from the resort.

Website Accuracy

We rigorously check the information about accommodation, resorts, itineraries, etc., to ensure it is correct to the best of our knowledge. Advertised web copy descriptions and facilities may change before and after you book. Please check the up-to-date position at the time of booking. Please bear in mind that hoteliers, restaurateurs, etc., may wish to maintain or improve their facilities, or even take a break themselves. Tour, excursion, catamaran cruise or liveaboard itineraries may change as a result of local conditions. Circumstances such as these, or weather conditions, time of year, or other situations beyond our control, etc., may cause some of the amenities we have described to be unavailable or different from those advertised. When we are told of any significant or long-term changes we will always endeavor to advise you prior to your departure.

Commitment To You

We will arrange to provide you with the various services which form part of the holiday you book with us. Before your booking is confirmed and a contract comes into existence, we reserve the right to increase or decrease, correct errors in advertised prices, and change any of the information. Changes will be made known to you at the time of booking.

A booking is not accepted until we issue an invoice. The date shown on the invoice, which will be sent to you is the date of booking. It is important to check the details on the invoice when you get it. If any details appear to be incorrect or incomplete, please contact us as it may not be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy (for which we are responsible) in any document within 10 days of our sending it out (5 days for tickets). We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved in doing so. Once your booking is confirmed, you will be given a reference number.

We promise to make sure that the holiday arrangements we have agreed to make, perform or provide as applicable as part of our contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. This means that subject to these booking conditions, we will accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal injury or your contracted holiday arrangements are not provided as promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves, our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted holiday arrangements. Please note, it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care have not been used if you wish to make a claim against us. We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost, or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following: the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party; the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday and which were unforeseeable or unavoidable.

Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised by us and we have not agreed to arrange them as part of our contract and any excursion you purchase in the resort. In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website, in any advertising material, or elsewhere, we only promise to use reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any greater or different liability to you.

Our suppliers (such as accommodation or transport providers) have their own booking conditions or conditions of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and the supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or remove the relevant transport provider’s or other supplier’s liability to you. You can get copies of such conditions from us, or the offices of the relevant supplier.

If we make any payment to you or any member of your party for death, personal injury or illness, you must agree to transfer to us or our insurers any rights you may have to take direct action against the person or organization responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness and you must co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of any payment that we make.

Whilst you are away on holiday you may be offered the opportunity to buy optional excursions and activities. These are provided by independent local companies, which are neither owned nor controlled by Islandii Ltd., and for whom Islandii Ltd. acts only as an agent (if we make a booking for you). If you decide to buy an excursion or activity, your contract will be made with the local company which provides it and it will not form part of your contracted holiday arrangements with us. The contract will be subject to the excursion/activity provider’s terms and conditions, some of which may exclude or limit its liability to you, and will be governed by local law and jurisdiction. Islandii Ltd. accepts no liability for any breach of contract or act or omission of any excursion/activity provider. Some excursions/activities may contain an element of risk or require a good level of physical fitness, and, if in doubt, you should make direct inquiries with the local provider, before deciding to buy and check that you are covered by your travel insurance policy.

Special Requests

Where a special request eg. diet, room location, twin or double bedded room, a particular facility at a hotel, or particular meals etc. is an important factor in your choice of holiday, you must advise us when the booking is made. We are happy to pass your request on to the hotel or other suppliers but cannot guarantee that it will be accommodated. The provision of any special request does not constitute a term of your contract with us. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability. For your own protection, you should obtain confirmation in writing that a special request will have complied (where it is possible to give this) where it is important to you.

Children Policy

Child costs or reductions of the adult price are shown in each price panel and apply to children under 12 years of age on the date of their return travel to their home country when sharing a room with two adults. In some hotels, children can share existing beds, in others foldaway beds will be provided. Apartment costs should be calculated on the number of adults in the party, adding child costs as detailed. For children occupying their own room or where no reduction is shown please ask for details. Reductions may not be applicable to meal supplements. Infants who reach the age of 2 years while on holiday must be considered as being a child. Any charges for cots, meals, and local taxes (e.g. in the Maldives) are payable locally.

Overbooking

All bookings will be confirmed with the supplier, however, on occasions, an airline/hotel/cruise boat may subsequently overbook. We do not condone this action but take a realistic view that it can happen through no fault of our own and we will always endeavor to make alternative arrangements. Such arrangements are dependent on local circumstances and in this respect, the Company’s liability is limited in accordance with the Core Booking Conditions.

Resort Development

From time to time, building work or local improvements, such as beach dredging or roadwork, and its associated noise is unavoidable in a resort. We have no control over such works arising from a resort’s growth in popularity and we are unable to anticipate the speed or the extent to which such development may occur. If we learn of specific developments at or close to your accommodation, which is likely to significantly affect the enjoyment of your holiday, then we will do our best to contact you before departure. We will discuss the details and any options available to you at that time, but cannot offer compensation if changes are made due to third parties.

Excursion/Meal Packages

Excursion or meal packages that are offered are almost always cheaper than buying the same arrangements locally. The cost of any unused tours within excursion packages may not be refunded.

Meals, if included, are based on table d`hote menus or a meal voucher system, unless specified otherwise in the text. Holidays which include main meals generally commence with dinner on the day of arrival at your hotel and terminate with breakfast (on half board) or lunch (on full board) on the day of departure. All Inclusive packages generally finish at check-out time on your day of departure between 10 am and noon. After this time, payment for any additional meals must be made direct to the hotel. No refunds on meals not taken can be given.

Special diets of any kind (including vegetarian) can seldom be catered for adequately within the constraints of a table d`hote menu and cannot be guaranteed. We would therefore strongly recommend that anyone with special requirements takes a holiday where no meals (or only breakfast) are included and simply buys the most acceptable dishes from the a la carte menu available locally.

Where breakfast is included this will more commonly be continental breakfast. Please ask at the time of booking if this is important to you.

Supplements for optional meal plans offer you the opportunity of being able to budget for extra costs before you go.

Hotels often place restrictions on restaurants and meal arrangements. All Inclusive does not necessarily mean that unlimited food and beverages are available 24 hours a day and it is uncommon for minibars to be included in such packages. Individual hotels will operate different policies and full details will be provided locally.

If you book half board, this is defined as breakfast and dinner. Meals are as specified in individual hotel descriptions and must usually be pre-booked. If included, they are generally based on a set menu, buffet, or meal voucher system unless specified to the contrary. Such meals are usually available in the main restaurant and not specialty restaurants. The number and choice of the restaurant may change without notice.

Holidays that include main meals generally commence with dinner (on half board) on the day of arrival at your hotel and terminate with breakfast (on half board) or lunch (on full board) on the day of your departure. It is not usual for hotels to allow you to substitute lunch for dinner when booking half-board.

Depending on the flight timings to your resort or tour, those who have booked meals may lose one due to the time of arrival at, or check-out from, their hotel. In these cases, we have calculated the basic holiday price to allow for this.

Local Purchases

We cannot accept responsibility for any items you may purchase locally ie: jewelry/closes etc and the quality and value of such cannot be guaranteed. We recommend that you check whether or not any extra charges will be payable for import duty or freight and we are unable to assist with any costs you may incur in this respect.

Weather

World weather is becoming more erratic and unpredictable and we cannot be held responsible for disruption to your holiday due to bad or unusual weather conditions.

Changes Or Additions

If you want to change any part of your holiday arrangements after the invoice has been issued, we will do our best to make the change, but it may not be possible. Any request for changes must be made in writing by the person who made the original booking. If we agree that you may change your booking to a holiday of lower value, and then you cancel that holiday, we reserve the right to levy cancellation charges on the value of the original booking.

Changes Due To Circumstances Beyond Our Control

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage, loss or expense of any nature as a result of “force majeure”. In these booking conditions, “force majeure” means any event or circumstances which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include, whether actual or threatened, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural disaster, adverse weather conditions, epidemics, fire, and other situations which are outside our control.

Transferring Your Bookings

If any person named on a booking is prevented from traveling as a result of illness, the death of a close relative, jury service or other significant reason, we will agree to that person’s booking being transferred to another person (introduced by you) who satisfies all the conditions applicable to the package, subject to both persons accepting liability for full payment of the holiday cost and all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers in order to make the transfer. We must be given at least 14 days’ notice of the transfer request.

Cancellation Terms

If you or anyone on your holiday booking decides to cancel the holiday, the lead name must notify us of the decision as soon as possible. Any notification must be confirmed by e-mail within 24 hours by the lead name. Cancellation will take effect from the day we are notified provided that written confirmation is received by us within 24 hours of the original notification.

A cancellation invoice will be sent to you within 7 days, if you do not receive this please contact us immediately in order to prevent an increase in charges.

Cancellation policy

Guest houses. Only non-refundable deposits will be charged.

Resorts. The cancelation policy depends on the resort. Contact us before providing payment.

Sailing catamaran. Non-refundable deposits will be charged. 30 days or less – 100% of total holiday cost.

Liveaboard. More than 70 days prior to the arrival date – No cancellation charge/only non-refundable deposits will be charged. Between 40 and 70 days prior to the arrival date – 50% of the full invoice value will be charged. Less than 40 days prior to the arrival date – 100% of the full invoice value will be charged. No-shows and Early Departures – 100% of the full invoice value will be charged.

Accommodation In The Tropics

In beach resorts “insects” in the rooms (e.g. cockroaches etc.) are almost inevitable. It should by no means be taken as a sign of dirtiness, as it is simply a fact of life in these destinations. Views from some hotel rooms may be partly obscured by palm trees and other vegetation that can grow very quickly in tropical climates.

Your Behaviour

Most people go on holiday for rest and relaxation, so if in our reasonable opinion hotel manager, tour leader, or another person in authority, your behavior is causing or is likely to cause danger, upset, or damage to property or is persistently affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve the right to terminate your holiday. Should this happen no refund or compensation would be paid and we will have no further responsibility for your holiday arrangements including return travel.

Personal Belongings and Lost Items

For security reasons, valuables should be kept to a minimum and packed in your hand luggage along with your medicines, camera, film, electrical or battery-operated appliances, as well as basic essentials such as a change of clothing and toiletries. It can be easy to lose items but it is your responsibility to look after your property at all times and you must ensure you are adequately covered by comprehensive insurance. If you lose any personal items whilst on holiday, please obtain a written report from a local representative, or police, to help with any insurance claim upon your return.

If You Have A Complaint While You Are On Holiday

If you have cause for complaint whilst on holiday, you must bring it to the attention of our local representative or agent and the hotel immediately and they will do their best to rectify the situation. If matters remain unresolved, your concerns must be brought to the attention of the Islandii Ltd.. It is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday, but then to write a letter of complaint upon your return. If you do not raise concerns immediately, this may affect our ability to investigate and take remedial action and it may impact on the way your complaint is dealt with.

Maldives Conservation

The changes in season, wind direction, and tides in The Maldives can cause the islands’ shape and beach width to change. It is becoming increasingly necessary for some islands to use sandbags and sand pumping procedures on their beaches, in order to minimize the effects of such beach erosion.

Representative Services

Please ensure you refer to your itinerary which will provide the appropriate contact details should you need assistance whilst on holiday.

Curtailment

If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided, we will not offer you any refund for the remainder of your holiday not completed, or assist with any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.

Questionnaire

Your feedback is really important to us. At the end of your holiday, you may be given a questionnaire to fill in as we would like to know if you have had a great time or if you think the hotel or service has not been up to scratch. If you misplace this, or are not provided with a paper version, you can complete the questionnaire by sending us an email.
