2) Late Booking Fee & Communication Expenses (Telephone Calls)In the event of a booking (except South Africa bookings) being made less than
7 days prior to the date of departure, Thompsons reserves the right to chargefor any extra communication expenses. Full payment is due immediately on
confirmation and is non-refundable on all late bookings. Some bookings requirefull payment at the time of booking i.e. prior to confirmation. If we are unable to
secure confirmation you will be refunded in full.
3 ) P ri ce C hangesa) The costs associated with travel arrangements are not always stable, and cur-
rency movements can fluctuate sharply. It is impossible to predict these move-ments in advance. When you book a package through us, we reserve the right to
pass on any surcharges to you. Surcharges may be imposed to cover increasesin transportation costs, including the costs of fuel and security charges, taxes
or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disem-barkation fees at ports and airports, or exchange rates applied to the particular
package.
b) Thompsons guarantees the price of land arrangements, only once full payment isreceived.
c) Airfares are subject to the prices and conditions quoted by the particular airlinesand cannot be guaranteed by Thompsons. The onus is on the agent & the pas-
senger to check that there have been no changes in these prices before makingfinal payment thereof.
d) Should the client make a group reservation & subsequently the group numbersdeviate from the minimum number required for the booking, Thompsons reserves
the right to re-cost the price and raise a surcharge. Should any client refuse toaccept and pay such surcharge, it may result in cancellation of the booking and
forfeiture of all payments made.
4) Methods of Paymenta) Credit Cards: In accordance with International Airline Travel Association (IATA)
bulletin # A1/00 we need a signed and validated Standard Credit Card ChargeForm. The agent acknowledges that s/he has seen the card and that the signa-
ture on the card is the same as that on the Credit Card Charge Form. A signedand validated Standard Credit Card Charge Form (SCCCF) or payment through our

conditions as may be imposed by the insurance company or the underwritersaccepting the risk, and Thompsons shall not be obliged to obtain separate
cover for any risks so excluded. Should the insurers dispute their liability forany reason, the client will have recourse against the insurers only. Once the
