My-Tours Travel Ltd – Terms & Conditions
1. Booking and Payments
The person making the booking (“Lead Name”) confirms they are aged 18 or over and authorised to book on behalf of all party members. The Lead Name accepts full responsibility for all payments and communications.
A deposit or full payment (depending on how close to departure) is required to confirm your booking. Day trips may require full payment upfront.
Where My-Tours acts as an agent, supplier-specific deposit/payment terms apply.
2. Balances Payments
Outstanding balances must be paid by the due date provided at the time of booking. Payments can be made at any time before the due date via BACS.
Failure to pay on time may result in cancellation, and standard cancellation charges will apply. If we agree to reinstate a cancelled booking, an admin fee will be charged.
3. Payment Methods Accepted
We accept the following payment methods for all bookings:
All major debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex)
Bank transfer (BACS)

We do our best to ensure the accuracy of all prices and descriptions across our website, social media, and brochures. However, errors can occur, and we reserve the right to amend prices or details before your booking is confirmed.
5. Changing Your Booking
All change requests must come via email from the Lead Name. We will try to accommodate changes but cannot guarantee availability.
You may transfer to another My-Tours holiday more than 12 weeks before departure (subject to a £10 admin fee).
No transfers are allowed within 6 weeks of travel.
Name changes must be made no later than 14 days before departure and will incur a £10 fee per person.

No changes are permitted less than 14 days before travel.
If we cannot meet your request and you cancel, cancellation charges will apply.
6. Cancelling Your Booking (By You)
If you or any member of your party chooses to cancel a booking, the Lead Name must notify us in writing via email (info@my-tours.co.uk).
Cancellations take effect from the date we receive the email (or next working day if received outside office hours).
Non-Refundable Deposit
All deposits are strictly non-refundable under any circumstances.
No Refund Within 6 or 10 Weeks
If you cancel:
Within 6 weeks of departure for day trips, or
Within 10 weeks of departure for holidays,
no refund will be issued, even if the full balance has already been paid. This is due to costs already paid to suppliers (e.g. hotels, attractions, coach hire), which are non-refundable.
Cancellations Outside These Timeframes
If cancelled before the 6-week (day trips) or 10-week (holidays) period:
We will refund any balance paid (excluding deposit), less unrecoverable third-party costs and a reasonable admin fee.

Refunds are returned via the original payment method.
