General Matters
Extra Hours and Extra Mileage Charges.
The 8, 9 or 10 hours per day stipulated as a maximum for the driver-guide
assumes a reasonable break at lunch time, and that the arrival at the day’s
destination will be by 7pm. If clients extend the day longer than the usual
number of hours for that tour, the extra hourly rate will apply and may be
charged. Extra mileage for a multi-day tour is calculated on an
accumulated total, which applies only if the average is more than 150
miles/day. In both cases the guide or GGS will invoice and charge the client
at the end of the tour, and must be paid promptly.
Problems and Complaints.
If for any reason clients feel that the services have been below the high
standard expected from GGS a complaint must be lodged within 24 hours to GGS
or to the guide if appropriate and confirmed in writing within 7 days.
Failure to do so may make it impossible for GGS to take remedial action. GGS
acts in all cases as an agent of the client, and can only assume
responsibility to that extent. All contractual matters arising are subject
to the courts of England and Wales. All arrangements made by GGS are made
upon the express condition that neither GGS nor any of its agents shall be
responsible for any direct, indirect, consequential or incidental damage,
injury, death, loss accident, delay or irregularity of any kind which may be
occasioned by reason of any act or omission beyond their control, including,
without limitation, any act or negligence or breach of contract of any third
party of any kind. Payment for a reservation with GGS shall constitute
consent to all provisions contained herein.
Trip insurance
Clients are
advised to have comprehensive insurance to cover every aspect of their
tour(s) or trip - including cancellation.
