Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your chosen holiday once it has been confirmed, the party leader must immediately advise us in writing. Your notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is received in writing by us at our offices. As we incur costs from the time we confirm your booking and may be unable to re-sell your holiday, the following cancellation charges will be payable. Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling any amendment / cancellation charges which have already been incurred. Insurance premiums and amendment / cancellation charges are not refundable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling.
Our cancellation policies vary depending on the type of holiday your have booked, they are as follows:
Individual UCPA Programs
More than 30 days prior to departure: Loss of deposit
Between 30 and 21 days: 25%
Between 20 and 15 days: 50%
Between 14 and 8 days: 75%
7 days or fewer prior to departure or in the case of absence at departure without prior cancellation: 100%
Group bookings will have their own specific cancellation policy stated in their group contracts
Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned.
If you have to cancel then please inform us as soon as possible by e-mailing info@action-outdoors.co.uk stating that you wish to cancel your trip. Please note that we require the e-mail to be sent from same e-mail address that we have on file for the holiday booking. Contact us if there are circumstances that make this difficult.
It’s not our goal to profit from your cancellation – in most circumstances if you can find someone to take your place then we will make a name change for only a small administration charge. It may also be possible to swap dates if there is enough time to resell your trip – contact us and we will do our best to help you.
* If any member(s) of your party is/are prevented from travelling, the person(s) concerned will be able to transfer their place to someone else (introduced by you) providing the following requirements are complied with. We must be notified of the transfer(s) not less than [two weeks] before departure. A transfer will not be possible if there is a waiting list for places in which case the available place must be offered to the next person on that list. Where a transfer to a person of your choice can be made, all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers as a result together with an amendment fee of £20 must be paid before the transfer can be effected. For flight only, or flight inclusive bookings, you must pay the charges levied by the airline concerned. As most airlines do not permit name changes after tickets have been issued for any reason, these charges are likely to be the full cost of the flight.
