The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to ZuBlu Ltd. The term "you" refers to the customer visiting our website, booking a reservation through us or otherwise using our services.

2. Products and Suppliers

We arrange on your behalf a variety of travel related services from different suppliers and service providers ("Supplier/s").

Each Supplier will provide the services in accordance with its own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the Supplier's liability to you, and everyone you are booking on behalf of, usually in accordance with an applicable International Convention or local law. Copies of their terms and conditions are available on request from us or from the relevant Supplier and should be considered and understood before making your travel plans.

The images and descriptions of the destinations, excursions, facilities and accommodation on our website are for illustrative purposes only. We have made every effort to display and describe them accurately but there may have been changes that we are unable to reflect.

3. Making a Booking

We are acting as an intermediary or a "Booking Agent" for products and services that are not directly supplied by us (e.g., hotel accommodations, cruises, meals, scuba diving and other activities, tours, transfers, etc.). We are not a co-vendor of, and will not be responsible for the supply of, such products and services. You will be entering into a separate contract with the Supplier in connection with each product and service.

When you make an enquiry we will make suggestions and propose arrangements which may suit your needs. You will be sent details of these arrangements to approve before any booking is made with Suppliers on your behalf. You should check the accuracy of this information you are sent carefully, including but not limited to the dates, names, times and locations. Our general practice is to send documents to our customers electronically whenever possible. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee should you make a request for such documents to be sent as a hard copy. If you confirm to us that the proposed arrangements are correct and we should proceed to make the booking on your behalf you will be bound into a contract with the Supplier.

3.1 Things to Check Before you Book

It is your responsibility to check that you and everyone you are booking on behalf of has the correct qualifications and experience for the arrangements you intend to book. It is your responsibility to review your Government’s prohibitions, warnings and advisories applicable to your destinations. By offering travel to any particular destination, we do not represent that travel in such destination is safe or without risk. It is your responsibility to ensure you and everyone you are booking on behalf of can fulfil the passport, visa and other immigration requirements applicable to your arrangements’ itinerary. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates. We do not accept any responsibility in the case of you or anyone you are booking on behalf of being unable to travel due to not complying with any such requirements.

Travel insurance is a vital part of your arrangements. We strongly recommend that you have taken out adequate insurance for yourself and everyone you are booking on behalf of for the duration of your journey. You should have this in place prior to the start of your journey and you should check whether travel and scuba diving insurance is a mandatory element of your arrangements.

You should refer to the travel advice posted by your relevant governmental department for all the countries you intend to visit. Vaccinations may be required for some or all of the places you are intending to visit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have arranged all necessary vaccinations for yourself and everyone you are booking on behalf of for your itinerary.

3.2 Your Obligations on Booking

By booking your arrangements with us you are agreeing on behalf of yourself and those you are booking on behalf of to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and any additional terms and conditions of any Supplier that are applicable to your arrangements. You agree on behalf of yourself and those you are booking on behalf of to comply with these Terms and Conditions and all such additional terms and conditions, including the payment of all amounts when due. You agree that any violation of any such Terms and Conditions and any such additional terms and conditions may result in (a) the cancellation of all or part of your arrangements, (b) your forfeiture of any monies paid for all or part of your arrangements, (c) you and those you are booking on behalf of being denied access to the applicable product or service, and (d) our right to debit your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation.

You represent and warrant to us that (a) you are of sufficient age to use our services and website and can create binding legal obligations in connection with your use (this will normally mean you are over 18 years old), (b) you are legally authorised to act on behalf of those you booking for and accept these Terms and Conditions on their behalf, and (c) the information supplied by you or members of your group is true and correct. You are responsible for informing everyone you book for of all terms and conditions applicable to their arrangements. You understand that you are financially responsible for any use of our services by you and those you book on behalf of.

4. Deposits and Payment

Payment of a deposit enables you to hold a reservation but does not guarantee the price. The price can only be guaranteed once we receive full payment and other travel or requested documentation has been issued by you subject to any terms and conditions of the Supplier. We will advise you of the date that full payment is required. Upon your provision of your payment amount, you are authorising us to make the payment arrangements with the corresponding Suppliers. Be aware that any deposit may be non-refundable subject to any terms and conditions of the Supplier.

We reserve the right to refuse personal cheques as a method of payment. After full payment, the terms and conditions of the contract with your Supplier may permit them to increase the cost of your arrangements. Acting as your Booking Agent, we will pass on any such increase to you as we become aware of such increase. If we have arranged a package, changes in transportation costs including the cost of fuel, taxes, fees and exchange rates mean that the price of your travel arrangements may change after you have paid in full.

5. Financial Protection

In accordance with The Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tours Regulations 1992, we protect your package booking through a ‘Trust Account’ payment system managed by our independent travel payment protection specialists Trust My Travel Ltd. Your payments are initially deposited and held in a Trust Account and cannot be released until all contractual obligations have been filled and your holiday has been completed or until the appropriate financial failure insurance is put in place.

For your financial protection ZuBlu Ltd is a member of Trust My Travel and our membership number is 51403. We are a Protected Processing Member of Trust My Travel and our membership logo is available to view on our website.All client money, whether by bank transfer or card payment is paid into an independently managed Trust Account held at Barclays Bank in the UK. This means in the unlikely event of our financial failure you will receive a refund for the services you have paid for. Money is not received by us until all suppliers have have been paid and you have completed your trip. For more information about how your payments are protected please visit trustmytravel.com/terms for more information. Should you have any questions about how you are protected or want to make a claim, please contact [email protected] and quote your booking reference.

We use Trust My Travel so that our customers can feel confident transacting with us, and have the necessary protections in place in the event that our business is unable to provide the product sold. Your booking is protected by Trust My Travel in compliance with the Package Travel Regulations in the UK & Europe.

If you book arrangements which are not a package (as defined by The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992) through us the protection referred to above does not apply and in this case your only recourse if any may be to go directly to the Supplier.

6. Cancellations and Changes by Suppliers

Your contract with your Suppliers may allow them to cancel or amend bookings. As your Booking Agent, we will ensure that you are promptly notified of any significant changes once we become aware of such change if there is time before your departure, but we accept no liability for any changes or costs incurred that may result. Subject to the Supplier’s terms and conditions, you will then have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative arrangements if one is made available by the Supplier, or cancelling your booked arrangements and receiving any applicable refunds. We do not guarantee that any refunds will apply.

We do not make bookings for air travel and have no control over airline schedule changes and accept no liability for costs that may arise as a result of such changes even if these affect your ongoing travel or other arrangements. If this issue occurs you should consult your airline and/or your insurers.

7. If You Change Your Booking

Where a change requested by you to your arrangements is permitted and possible, our standard service fees will apply in addition to any additional Supplier charges. Please contact us to enquire about changes. Please note that all changes are subject to availability and the terms and conditions of the product or service purchased.

Changes to name details are not allowed by many Suppliers. While we will endeavour to make such a change if necessary, please bear in mind that most Suppliers treat a name change as a cancellation, to which standard conditions and charges would apply.

8. If You Cancel Your Booking

If you cancel your arrangements, you may be entitled to a partial refund, subject to the terms and conditions of the contract with your Supplier. In addition to the cancellation terms and conditions of your Supplier(s), our standard fees will apply as may be outlined on your receipt or booking confirmation. Any transfer fees incurred by us in the processing of a refund will be deducted from the refund amount. We need to receive from you a request in writing from you, via the email used when booking, before any applicable refund can be considered.

Refunds will only be paid to you once we have received the funds back from the Supplier(s). We are not responsible for a Supplier’s failure to pay a refund.

We recommend you and those for whom you book always have adequate travel insurance in place prior to the start of your journey. If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim your cancellation charges through your insurer.

9. If You Have A Complaint

If you have a problem during your holiday, please inform the relevant Supplier (e.g. your hotel) immediately and follow this up in writing if possible. Should they be unable to resolve the matter, please immediately contact us either via the email address you made your arrangements, or through www.zubludiving.com. If you fail to timeously contact us, we will not be permitted the opportunity to investigate your complaint and attempt to rectify any error while you are away, and this may affect our ability to help resolve your complaint.

If you want to notify us of a complaint on your return you should do so in writing within 28 days giving full details of your complaint and we will seek to resolve your complaint as soon as reasonably possible.
