Terms & Conditions 

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OUTLINED BEFORE BOOKING

In these Conditions “We”, “Our” and “Us” refer to SkiItaly and “You” and “Your” refers to the client making the booking and all members of the Party.

BOOKINGS

Quotes are valid for 48 hours.
All reservations are subject to availability, at the time of booking. Any verbal quote is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit received. When a booking is made, the person effecting the booking is deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all people named in the booking. The contract will be governed by and subject to these terms and conditions. No variations to these terms and conditions will be of any effect unless made in writing and with the authority of SkiItaly.

A deposit of 30% of the total cost is payable within 3 days of the booking. Failure to receive the deposit may result in the cancellation of the booking. On receipt of the deposit a confirmation of booking will be sent. A deposit holds the services requested but does not guarantee price. Payment in full at the time of booking holds the booked services and guarantees price.

The balance is due 45 days prior to arrival at the booked accommodation. Failure to receive the balance due may result in the cancellation of the booking, such a cancellation will attract the corresponding administration and cancellation fees.

Bookings made within 45 days of arrival at the booked accommodation will only be accepted if full payment is received by SkiItaly within 3 days of making the reservation.

If We have to change any part of Your booking for reasons beyond Our control or if there are any changes in applicable charges, we will notify You. If any such changes result in Your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then You may cancel the booked accommodation and/or services and We will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by suppliers.

PRICES
Please note that prices quoted in this website are subject to change without notice. This may occur due to matters outside our control, which increase the cost of the product or service.  Such factors include (without limitation) adverse currency fluctuations. Please contact Us for up-to-date prices.

The prices shown are for payment by cash or direct deposit. A credit card/ Paypal surcharge will apply when paying by credit card.

CURRENCY ADJUSTMENT POLICY
All prices are subject to variation due to volatility in foreign exchange rates. Any variation to quoted prices will be based on the rates available to Us at the time the deposit is paid by the client and again on payment of the final balance. Our exchange rate at time of deposit is only taken into account for amount of deposit paid to overseas supplier. SkiItaly may take out foreign exchange contracts to protect the client and Us from excessive adverse movements in AUD exchange rates. For this reason, the foreign exchange rate applied to client payments may differ from the current market rate.

At any time clients can lock in the current prices by paying the balance in full, at the current SkiItaly exchange rate.

AMENDMENTS
An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and cancellation fees may apply.

Notice of amendments must be received in writing (or email).
Amendments of confirmed arrangements may incur a charge of up to $50 for each amendment, plus any applicable cancellation charges or fees charged by service providers.

CANCELLATION & REFUNDS
