All arrangements made between Star Air Executive Travel Limited, a fully bonded member of Abta (E9198) and Atol (5789), trading as Mauritius Mauritius, hereinafter called the "company", and you the client are subject to the following conditions. The person signing the booking form warrants that he has the authority of all other persons included in the holiday to make the booking on their behalf.

TIME OF BOOKING:

The Deposit is 10% of the total cost of the holiday; this must be submitted to the company (unless the booking is made less than 9 weeks prior to departure, in which case full payment is required). If booking with a low cost airline ie Go or Easy jet the cost of the ticket plus deposit must be taken at time of booking. The booking is binding upon the company only when it has issued to the client a written confirmation, unless you are making a booking which is departing within 7 days, a contract between us will exist when we, or your Travel Agent, on our behalf tell you that your booking is confirmed. Any money paid by a client to a travel agent in respect of a booking with the company and held by the agent is, at all times, and is held on behalf of the company.

The Company reserves the right to decline any booking at any time.

The Company is not under any obligation to deliver any tickets or documentation, appertaining to the booking, until The Company, or your Travel Agent has received full payment, if the booking has been made via a Travel Agent.

FINAL PAYMENT:
The total cost of any booking will be paid no less than 9 weeks prior to the departure date of the holiday, to the Company. In the event that payment is not received by the company by the date, the Company may choose to treat the booking as being cancelled by the client, in which case the deposit will be forfeited as per our cancellation fees listed hereunder. You, or any member of your party, have the right to cancel your holiday at any time, providing that the person who signed the booking form makes the cancellation, and the cancellation is communicated via writing, via the Travel Agent if the booking has been made through the Travel Agent. As this incurs administrative costs, we will retain your deposit and in addition will apply cancellation charges as a percentage of the entire holiday cost, as shown below.

More Than 42 days. Deposit forfeited
*before departure date

42 - 29 days 50% or deposit if greater
28 - 15 days 70% or deposit if greater
14 - 8 days 90% or deposit if greater
7 days to departure date or after 100%

However, if your booking includes a flight based on a restricted fare (e.g. Apex fare, World offer, Charter ticket) cancellation charges may be higher, up to in some cases the full amount of the booking.

Optional Insurance premiums are not refundable in the event of cancellations.

CHANGES TO YOUR HOLIDAY PLANS:

In the unlikely event that we need to make any changes to your holiday arrangements once they are confirmed, as we plan many months in advance, this sometimes may be necessary. Most of the time, these will be minor changes, but where they are major, for example, a significant change in resort, a change of accommodation to that of a lower category, a change of flight time more than twelve hours or a change of departure Airport, except between London Airports, we will inform you or your Travel Agent when you book, or as soon as possible if you have already booked. You then have the following choices:

A) To accept the alternative offered by the Company
B) To Choose another holiday featured by Mauritius Mauritius
C) To cancel and receive a full refund of all monies paid to us
Whichever of the above options you decide to take, we will pay you compensation (Not Including infants under the age of 2 on the date of travel)

These payments will not be made for changes beyond our control. For example, technical or maintenance problems with transport, changes imposed by rescheduling or cancellation of flights by an airline or main charterer, the alteration of the airline or aircraft, refusal of landing rights by the CAA to any airline. This also includes any other acts of force majeure (namely: war or threat of war, riots, terrorist activity, civil strife, strikes and other industrial disruption, natural disasters, fire, quarantine, epidemics, weather conditions, Government action, or other events beyond our control.

We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your holiday, and all holidays operate subject to a minimum number of participants. However, in no case will we cancel your holiday less than eight weeks before your scheduled departure date, except for reasons of force majeure as defined above. In circumstances that where we are unable to provide the holiday booked, we will return to you all monies paid or offer an alternative holiday (featured by Marbella Marbella or Mallorca Mallorca) of comparable standard and if cancellation occurs within eight weeks of departure, compensation on a similar scale to that shown above.

If we have to curtail your holiday due to a situation of force majeure, will offer a pro-rata refund for unused accommodation and excursions only. Compensation will not be payable.

Such transfer can be effected only with at least 8 weeks notice and provided that the requested facilities and seats are available at the time of request. If alterations occur within eight weeks, we may treat this as cancellation and charge as above. Changes are at the company's discretion, and can be refused.
