Terms and Conditions
YOUR CONTRACT - PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY
Summary of these Terms
These booking terms and conditions govern all bookings that you make with Liyana Travels Ltd of The Trampery Fish Island Village, 13 Rookwood Way, London, E3 2XT (company registration number - 15186722).
All this information is important because it (along with your booking confirmation email, and any pre-contractual information provided before you book), sets out the legal terms. We encourage you to read each document in full.

Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. In these booking conditions, references to "we", “our”, "us" and/or “travel agency” indicates Liyana Travels Limited (the Company) and references to "you" and "your" includes the first named person on the booking and all persons on whose behalf a booking is made or any other person to whom a booking is added or transferred. Where it states “service provider”, “suppliers” and/or “principal” indicates direct airline, accommodation and/or transportation suppliers.
Along with the Terms on this page, there is other document that forms part of our contract with you:
- Our pro-forma/invoice given to you at the time of booking outlining the details of the services provided by Liyana Travels, including hotel accommodations, transportations, and any additional fees. It serves as a record of the transaction between the agency and the customer, detailing the cost breakdown and payment terms.
By agreeing to our Terms, you are agreeing to everything in both the documents. Your use of this website is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of the following terms and conditions. If you do not agree with any part of the following terms and conditions, you must not use or make any bookings with Liyana travels.
1. Travel Bookings:
The first named person/lead passenger on the booking or the person paying for the booking agrees on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that he/she:
- has read these Booking Conditions and agrees to be bound by them;
- consents to our use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is authorised on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose their personal details to us, including where applicable, special categories of data (such as information on health conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements); is over 18 years of age at the time of booking and when placing an order for services with age restrictions declares that he/she and all members of the party are of the appropriate age to purchase those services; and
- accepts financial responsibility for payment of the booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking.
All services offered are subject to availability. Prices are not guaranteed until they are confirmed. When you make your booking, you must pay the relevant deposit as specified at the time of booking. No contract will come into existence until we accept your booking and we receive your deposit or full payment in cleared funds and issue you with a confirmation invoice either on behalf of ourselves or the supplier in question. Please ensure that the names given are the same as in the relevant passport.
Bookings made by telephone:
If you make a booking by telephone, you must provide us with all the information which we require. You must also ensure that all information which you provide is accurate and the passenger’s information is provided as it appears on the passport. You must also ensure that the credit or debit card you are using is your own or, subject to our acceptance, if it is a third party you have their express authorisation to use their credit or debit card and that sufficient funds are available to cover the cost of the arrangements which you book with us. Please note that a telephone booking confirmation is as firmly confirmed as if it were made/confirmed in writing immediately. We do not make any representation or warranty as to the availability of any package holiday or Individual Components until you make the payment and the same is confirmed. If we accept your booking, we will process it (subject to availability) and debit payment from you. From this point cancellation charges will apply. We will send you a confirmation and/or e-ticket and invoice. As soon as you receive the confirmation and/or e-ticket and invoice, please check the details carefully and inform us immediately if anything appears to be incorrect as it may not be possible to make changes later. Any changes to the booking after it has been made will attract additional cost payable by you including charges of the suppliers as well as administration fee as applicable.
2. Payments:
You must pay the balance by the due date shown on the confirmation invoice. Please note for some telephone bookings full payment may be required IMMEDIATELY i.e. before you receive the confirmation invoice. If this applies you will be advised when the booking is made. It is very important that you pay balances when due because failure to do so may lead to the cancellation of your holiday and still leave you liable to pay cancellation charges.
Where an extra "booking charge" applies this will have been advised at the time of booking. All cheque payments require 7 days to clear. Until full payment has been received, the price of your booking may increase as a result of other surcharges which may be imposed by suppliers.
Please note we do not accept responsibility for cash sent by courier or post, even if sent by registered or recorded delivery post or any other special delivery.
All bookings are subject to availability and must be confirmed with payment. A non-refundable deposit must be paid at the time of booking or full payment may be required to secure a booking depending on the type of booking and supplier’s terms. Large bookings may require a higher non-refundable deposit. Payments can be made via credit or debit card, bank transfer, Google Pay, Apple Pay and cash. Cash payments incur a 2% fee according to our trust account terms and conditions. Some transactions made via credit or debit card through payment links will incur a 2.5% fee on top of the final quotation amount. This fee will be added to the invoice and it is the customers responsibility to make sure all card payments made via payment links or in person includes the additional 2.5% transaction fee when paying for our services/invoices. We have the right to refuse bookings where the final payment does not meet our terms.
After the payment deadline has passed, all bookings become non-refundable. Any cancellations made after this deadline will result in the forfeiture of the payment made for the booking. Supplier’s terms and conditions apply.
Please note that our travel agency sells flight services. However, any cancellations or changes to flights are the responsibility of the traveller and subject to the policies of the airlines. This policy applies to all other services booked through our agency, including accommodations, transportations, and other travel-related services. We strongly advise travellers to review their plans carefully and make any necessary changes before the payment deadline to avoid non-refundable charges.
3. Changes, Cancellation and Refund Policies:
Cancellation policies vary depending on the timing of the cancellation, the type of service booked i.e, free cancellation accommodation or non-refundable accommodation and the supplier’s terms.
All deposits paid for securing a booking are non-refundable regardless of any situation that arises after booking. Cancellation fees may apply, and refunds may be subject to deductions for administrative fees or non-refundable deposits.
Any cancellation or amendment request must be sent to us in writing, by email (sent to sales@liyanatravels.co.uk from the email ID registered with us at the time of booking), and will take effect at the time we receive it. Please ensure that you have received written confirmation of any changes to your booking prior to travel.
Whilst we will try to assist, we cannot guarantee that such requests will be met. Amendments and cancellations can only be accepted in accordance with the booking conditions of the Supplier/Principal of your Arrangements. The
Supplier/Principal may charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their booking conditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the arrangements and will normally increase closer to the date of departure). Refunds are subject to the terms and conditions of the service provider (e.g, hotel, transportation), may incur additional administrative fees and may take time to be issued.
The amount of refund or credit issued may depend on when the cancellation is made.
Cancellations made closer to the departure date may incur higher fees or be non-refundable depending on the type of booking. Details on how refunds are processed, including the method of reimbursement (e.g, credit card refund, bank transfer) and the timeframe for receiving the refund, should be provided to the traveller.
Some bookings may be non-refundable or have stricter cancellation policies due to special promotions, discounted rates, or peak travel periods. These exceptions should be clearly communicated to the traveller at the time of booking. Please note: some Supplier/Principals do not allow changes and therefore full cancellation charges will apply.
Cancellations by you:
If you or anyone on your holiday booking decides to cancel the holiday you must notify us of the decision as soon as possible. Any notification by telephone must also be confirmed in writing or by e-mail (sent to sales@liyanatravels.co.uk) within 24 hours by the person who made the original booking (from the email ID registered with us at the time of booking).
Your notice of cancellation will only take effect when it is received in writing by us and will be effective from the date on which we receive it.
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. All airline tickets may be non-refundable depending on the airline you book with; it is your responsibility to check the policy before you book your flights.
We do not deal with any flights/airline tickets, any cancellations are between you and the airline. We can only help you look for your flights if you are unable to do so. Since we incur costs in cancelling your arrangements with accommodation and transportation, you will have to pay the cancellation charges as follows:
Period before departure in which you notify us | Cancellation Charge |
---|---|
Before payment deadline | Loss of deposit |
After payment deadline | 100% of total holiday cost |
Free cancellation bookings | Loss of deposit only |
Please note that insurance premiums and amendments charges are not refundable in any circumstances.
Certain travel arrangements cannot be changed or cancelled after they have been confirmed without incurring a 100% cancellation charge. If this is the case, we will tell you before you cancel.
We strongly recommend that you take out full insurance which will, in most cases, include cover against loss of deposit or cancellation fees.
We will deduct the cancellation charge(s) from any monies you have already paid to us. If, some, but not all-party members, cancel the holiday or part of it, additional charges may be payable by the remaining members.
Chargebacks and Disputed Payments:
In the event of a chargeback or disputed payment initiated by the customer without prior communication or valid grounds, we reserve the right to recover any administrative fees incurred as a result. Specifically, if a chargeback is raised and is processed through our merchant provider via PTS (Protected Trust Services), a chargeback handling fee will be applied to the customer’s account. This fee reflects the cost charged to us by PTS for handling such disputes. To avoid unnecessary fees or delays, we encourage all customers to contact us directly in the event of a payment issue so we can resolve the matter amicably before any chargeback is initiated.
4. Travel Documents:
It is the responsibility of the traveller to ensure they have valid passports, visas, health certificates and any other required travel documents for their destination. The agency can provide guidance but is not liable for any issues arising from incomplete or incorrect documentation. The agency is not liable for any costs or losses incurred due to insufficient or incorrect travel documentation.
Here are further terms and conditions that aim to ensure that travellers are aware of their responsibilities regarding travel documents and can make informed decisions when planning their trips.

Travellers should review the terms and conditions of the travel insurance policy carefully to understand the coverage, exclusions, limitations, and claim process.

We reserve the right to make changes to itineraries, accommodations, and transportation arrangements as necessary. We will notify travellers of any significant changes as soon as possible.
Changes to bookings and amendments may be subject to fees and availability. The agency reserves the right to charge administrative fees for changes requested by the traveller. Depending on the type of change (e.g, date change, destination change, name change), there may be associated fees. These fees cover administrative costs incurred by the agency and may also include any additional charges imposed by our supplier such as hotels or transportation.
Changes to itineraries are subject to availability. The desired accommodations, transportation or other services may not be available for the new dates or destinations requested. In such cases, alternative options will be provided, but there may be additional costs or limitations. Travellers must notify the agency as soon as possible if they need to make changes to their itinerary. Last-minute changes may incur higher fees or have limited availability.
Any changes made to the itinerary will be confirmed by the agency in writing or via email. It is the traveller's responsibility to review the revised itinerary and ensure accuracy.
Any additional costs resulting from changes to the itinerary, including change fees, fare differences, or additional service charges, must be paid by the traveller before the changes can be finalised.
In some cases, changes to itineraries may result in refunds for unused portions of the original booking. The amount of the refund, if any, will depend on the terms and conditions of the supplier and any applicable cancellation policies. Certain types of bookings may have restrictions or limitations on changes, such as non-refundable or non-changeable fares. Travellers should review the terms and conditions of their booking carefully before requesting changes.
Travellers are encouraged to review their travel insurance coverage to determine if changes to their itinerary are covered under their policy.

If in our reasonable opinion or in the opinion of any other persons in authority you are behaving in such a way to cause or to be likely to cause distress, danger or annoyance to any third party or damage to property, we reserve the right to terminate your arrangements without notice. In this situation your total booking with us, including your return transportation arrangements, will immediately cease and we will not be responsible for paying any costs, expenses, refunds or compensation.

- where we make a significant change and you accept those changed arrangements or you accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements;
- where we have to cancel your arrangements as a result of your failure to make full payment on time;
- where the change or cancellation by us arises out of alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you;
- where we are forced to cancel or change your arrangements due to Force Majeure (see clause 13).
If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the arrangements that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will, if possible, make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and where those alternative arrangements are of a lower standard, provide you with an appropriate price reduction.
20. Conditions of Suppliers
Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions which will form part of your contract with us or the applicable supplier. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier's liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from ourselves or the supplier concerned.
21. Price Match Guarantee
While we strive to offer competitive pricing through our trusted suppliers, we are unable to guarantee price matching on flight inclusive bookings. This is due to the dynamic nature of airline pricing and the terms set by third party suppliers. All flight inclusive bookings are sourced through third party suppliers or tour operators. As such, we do not offer a price match guarantee on any flight or package bookings. Prices are subject to change based on availability at the time of booking, and we are unable to match prices found elsewhere, including those offered directly by airlines or other travel providers.
Once a flight inclusive package has been confirmed and payment has been made, the price is fixed and non-negotiable, regardless of subsequent price fluctuations. However, we may offer a price match on certain holiday packages, subject to availability and supplier terms and conditions.
22. Reconfirming all bookings
You must telephone the airline at least 72 hours before the departure time shown on your ticket to confirm that there have been no changes. This applies to both outbound and return flights. We will not be liable for any additional costs due to your failure to reconfirm flights. Reconfirming your flight at least 72 hours before departure is a minimum requirement.
These terms and conditions are subject to change and may vary depending on the specific policies of the travel agency. Travellers are encouraged to review them carefully before booking any services.
23. Jurisdiction
These booking conditions and any agreement to which they apply are governed in all respects by English law. We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter which arises between us out of or in connection with your contract or booking will be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales only. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Island if you live in those places and if you wish to do so.
