TERMS & CONDITIONS

BOOKING PROCEDURE, RESERVATIONS & PAYMENT

Ann&Palm quotes and charges in GBP. Please note that if clients decide to pay in their home currency rather than GBP, a Dynamic Currency Conversion fee (DCC) will be charged by credit card companies on top of the current foreign transaction fees. This additional charge can double the currency conversion costs.

Ann&Palm is not responsible for the currency exchange nor foreign transaction fees involved, and will receive the exact quoted amount in GBP regardless of these fees.

Unless otherwise specified, 25% of total cost of the trip is requested as deposit to secure and confirm a booking. Additionally, some suppliers require 10%-20% deposits to secure bookings. All services and itineraries, unless otherwise advised, should be prepaid fully 40 days before arrival. If bookings are made within 40 days of departure, full payment must be received immediately to secure and confirm a booking. If other arrangements are required, Ann&Palm will consider them on a case-by-case basis. If payments are not made in a timely manner, Ann&Palm reserves the right to refuse to confirm the booking, or to impose a last minute reasonable fee to cover costs.
