3. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
3.1 How we will accept your booking. Our acceptance of your booking will take place when we mail our written confirmation to you, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
3.2 If we cannot accept your booking. If we are unable to accept your booking, we will inform you of this in writing and will not charge you for the holiday. This might be because there are no more places available on the holiday, because of unexpected demands placed upon our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a payment for the holiday has failed, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the holiday or because we are unable to provide the holiday on the dates you have requested.

4. OUR HOLIDAYS
4.1 Holidays will be provided in accordance with but may vary slightly from the description in our brochures or on our website/booking page. The images of the holidays on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we make every effort to run the Virtual holiday as described, the activities may change (as necessary) and we cannot guarantee that your child's holiday experience will be exactly as depicted in the description.
4.2 Making sure your booking information is accurate. We are arranging the holiday based on the booking information you have given to us and you are responsible for ensuring that all the information you have provided to us is correct. You are responsible for checking your child's availability for the dates of holiday and access to internet.

5. YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
If you wish to make a change to the holiday you have booked please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let you know about any changes to the price of the holiday, the timing or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to you, you may want to end the contract (see clause 8 - Your rights to end the contract).

6. OUR RIGHTS TO MAKE CHANGES
6.1 Minor changes to the holidays. We may change the holiday to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and in order to comply with our statutory duties. As we informed you in the description of the holiday on our website/booking page, we may make changes to the activities available on the holidays.
6.2 More significant changes to the holidays and these terms.

7. PROVIDING THE HOLIDAY

7.2 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If the holiday is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay, you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any part of the holiday you have paid for but not received.
7.3 CPAS Ventures may take photographs or videos during the Virtual holiday for publicity purposes. These images may appear in our printed publications, website and social media.

We will contact you at least 2 weeks in advance to tell you we will be suspending, delaying or cancelling the holiday, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the holiday we will offer you an alternative holiday. Where we suspend or cancel the holiday for any reason other than a fault caused by your act or omission, you are entitled:
7.6.1 to take an equivalent holiday; or
7.6.2 to take a less expensive holiday in which case we will refund the difference.
If we are unable to offer you a suitable alternative holiday or you choose not to take the offer of an alternative holiday we will refund any sums you have paid in advance.
