Terms & Conditions

Her Escape [ABN 74 520 350 669] is a travel and holiday service based on the terms and conditions set out below. 

We provide a travel booking and advisory service which will allow you and your co-travellers to purchase travel packages and products from third party suppliers.

We act as agents for the third party suppliers of travel products, whose terms and conditions of supply (including cancellation and amendments policies) will apply to your travel request in addition to these terms and conditions.

BOOKING REQUESTS

By making a booking enquiry or request for an Escape with us, either online or by email or phone, you agree that you have read, understood and accepted these terms and conditions.

Once you have made a booking enquiry or request with us, we will send to your nominated email address a booking request acknowledgement with details of your booking request. 

At the time of making a booking enquiry or request, you must accept that any co-travellers for your Escape will be subject to these terms and conditions. Please note that in making the booking you are agreeing to act as their agent and be liable for the booking. We refer to you as the Group Leader,

We will check the availability of travel products for your Escape before confirming your booking request but we do not guarantee that your booking request will be available. Your booking request is subject to availability at the time that we confirm your booking with the relevant third party supplier and travel products.

We will send you a confirmation of your booking request within a reasonable time of sending a Booking Request Acknowledgment.

DEPOSITS AND BOOKINGS

Our Booking Request Confirmation will specify the deposit we require in order to confirm your booking with the relevant third party suppliers of travel products, and includes a non-refundable booking fee component. Note that any booking will attract cancellation fees. 

CANCELLATION POLICY

Our standard cancellation policy is as follows:

  • A booking cancelled more than 6 weeks prior to departure - Your non-refundable deposit is payable on cancellation;

  • A booking cancelled less than 6 weeks but more than 4 weeks prior to departure – 50% of the total cost of the travel products or package is payable on cancellation; and

  • A booking cancelled less than 2 weeks before departure – 100% of the total cost of the travel products or package is payable on cancellation.

Where the third party supplier’s cancellation policy differs from our cancellation policy, we may choose, at our discretion, to charge you according to the third party supplier’s policy, instead of ours, subject to giving you notice in the Booking Confirmation.

No cancellation fee is payable for a cancellation made after a Booking Request Acknowledgement is issued but before a Booking Confirmation is issued.

BOOKING AMENDMENTS

If you request an amendment to a booking request, after we have issued a Booking Confirmation, then we will use all reasonable endeavours to alter your booking as requested but do not warrant that we can do so. 

Bookings are non-transferrable.


PAYMENTS

Upon receiving your Booking Confirmation we will provide the group leader with a payment schedule that will detail the amounts and required timings for your payment or payments for your booking. Your failure to pay strictly in accordance with those timings may result in a cancellation of your booking.

Direct Debit or by internet bank transfer.
