The full price of the holiday must have been paid to PSL at least nine weeks prior to the departure date. In the event that PSL has received the deposit from the client but has not received the balance of payment at least nine weeks prior to the departure date PSL reserves the right to cancel the booking and the client shall then forfeit the deposit.

Ski Insurance

Liability
PSL does not accept liability for the actions or omissions of those involved in the holiday arrangements over whom PSL has no direct control and/or who are not employed by PSL either as PSL’s servants or agents including but not limited to persons providing transportation services namely airlines, bus companies, train companies, ski lift operators, taxi operators, the owners or operators of any vehicle, aircraft or equipment or any of their proprietors or employees.

Brochure Accuracy
All information about accommodation is rigorously scrutinised both at home and abroad to ensure that it is correct. However, the client should bear in mind that in relation to the information given about the resort it is more difficult to guarantee accuracy as very few of the facilities are under our management and they may be changed between the time we print the brochure in July and the time you go on holiday. However, at the time of printing all the facilities existed and, to the best of our knowledge, were intended to be operative during the skiing season. PSL also point out that in some foreign countries general standards of hygiene, care, public services and efficiency may differ from those of the United Kingdom and the client should accordingly exercise greater care for his own protection and health in matters of hygiene and choice of food and drink. PSL also point out that they cannot in any way guarantee the weather and that snow conditions will be suitable for skiing and winter sports, such conditions being outside PSL's control.

Cancellation of Holiday
In view of the fact that holiday arrangements are made many months in advance, changes may sometimes have to be made. PSL will not cancel a holiday or other travel arrangements after the date when payment of the balance of the price becomes due unless it is necessary to do so as a result of factors outside PSL's control which include war, political unrest, weather, strikes, epidemics, acts of God, riots, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural disasters, technical problems of transport, closure of airports or ports and the non availability of aircraft or accommodation or unless the client defaults in payment of the balance of the holiday price.

If PSL for reasons other than for factors outside PSL control (as set out above) cancels a holiday on or before the date when payment of the balance of the holiday price becomes due PSL shall offer the client the choice of on alternative holiday of at least comparable standard (if available) or of a prompt and full refund of all monies paid.

If PSL has to cancel a holiday as a result of factors outside PSL's control, PSL will inform the clients without delay and offer the client the choice of an alternative holiday of at least comparable standard (if available) or of a prompt and full refund of all monies paid less reasonable expenses.

Alteration of Holiday by PSL
It is unlikely that PSL will have to make any changes to the clients holiday but as brochures are printed many months in advance most of these changes are very minor and PSL will inform the client about them wherever possible prior to departure.

If a change becomes necessary PSL will inform the clients and then the client will have the choice of accepting the changed arrangements or purchasing another available holiday or the client may wish to cancel in which case the client will receive a refund of all monies paid to PSL

Cancellation of Holiday by Client
A cancellation by a client will only be effective when it has been received by PSL A cancellation must be in writing and signed by the person who signed the booking form. If cancellation is prior to nine weeks before the date of departure the deposit of £100 per person will be forfeited and if cancellation is received within nine weeks of the date of departure the following rates will apply.

If a client wishes to alter a booking which has been accepted in writing by PSL an alteration fee of £20 per person will be charged if PSL is able to accommodate the altered booking, if PSL cannot accommodate the altered booking PSL shall be entitled to treat that request as a cancellation and above forfeits shall apply.

Tickets, Travel Documents and Flights
After PSL has received the full payment of the holiday price from the client and then approximately two weeks prior to departure the client will be sent tickets, travel and other holiday information. No guarantee is given or implied in relation to the aircraft company or type of aircraft used to carry our clients and no refund of any kind will be given if either of these items is changed between the time of booking and the departure date.

Damage Caused by Clients

A client shall be fully responsible for any damage or loss he causes to any chalet, apartment or hotel or their contents and PSL shall be entitled to recover the amount of all claims (including the cost of repairs executed to PSL's satisfaction) in respect there of from the client. A credit card imprint will be taken as security against any damage that may be incurred.

Behaviour of Clients
