Terms & Conditions
Please read these terms carefully before using our services or making a booking.
Introduction
These terms and conditions ("Terms") set out the agreement between RGM Travel and you. RGM Travel is a trading name of Janine Loves Ltd, trading as The JLT Group ("we", "us", "our"). By booking with us, you confirm three things: you are over 18, you have read and agree to these Terms, and you accept responsibility for everyone named on the booking. Your contract begins once we, or the relevant supplier, send you a written booking confirmation.
Agent Authority
RGM Travel can sell travel services on behalf of The JLT Group. We cannot make verbal promises, guarantees, or changes to these Terms, we can only confirm those in writing.
Our Role
RGM Travel plays different roles depending on your booking. We'll confirm which role applies to you in your booking documentation.
When we act as agent for third-party suppliers or tour operators, you contract directly with that supplier. Their booking conditions apply, and these may limit or exclude their liability. We don't take responsibility for the supplier's service, but we will help you resolve any issues.
When we create and sell packages under The JLT Group's ATOL or PTS protection, you contract with us. We take responsibility for delivering the contracted services under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018.
If you are unsure of our role in your booking, please contact us at rgmtravel@thejltgroup.co.uk before proceeding.
Booking, Payment & Pricing Errors
You must pay a deposit or the full amount when you book. If you pay a deposit, you must pay the remaining balance by the due date on your confirmation. If you miss that date, we may cancel your booking and apply cancellation charges.
Pricing Errors and Omissions
We can correct obvious errors in advertised and confirmed prices. If we spot an error after you've booked, we'll tell you as soon as possible and give you the choice to pay the correct price or cancel for a full refund.
Non-Refundable Deposits and Fees
All deposits, administrative fees, service charges, and joining or subscription fees are non-refundable, unless we state otherwise at the time of booking. We commit to suppliers and pay costs on your behalf as soon as we confirm your booking.
Chargeback Protection
You agree not to raise an unwarranted chargeback with your card provider for non-refundable deposits, cancellation fees, or services we've already provided. If you raise a chargeback before your travel date, we can treat this as a cancellation by you, and standard cancellation charges apply. If you raise an unjustified chargeback at any time, you remain liable for the original booking cost, plus any administrative, legal, or recovery costs we incur.
Accuracy of Booking Details
You must check all documentation carefully when you receive it, and tell us immediately about any errors. All names must match passports exactly. We won't charge you to correct our own documentation errors, but we will pass on any supplier fees caused by information you gave us incorrectly.
Service Charges
Service charges may apply to your booking, and we include them in your total cost. These may include the following, though this list isn't exhaustive.
| Charge | Description |
|---|---|
| Standard Booking Service Charge | Applied to all bookings as an administration fee |
| ATOL Fee | Applied to flight-inclusive packages where we act as principal |
| Supplier Failure Insurance (SFI) | May be included automatically in relevant bookings |
Flights
When we act as your agent for standalone flight bookings, you contract with the airline and their terms apply. We accept no liability for the flight itself. When flights form part of a package we sell as principal, we take responsibility for the full package.
You can book charter flights either as agent, where you contract with the charter flight provider, or as part of a package we sell, where our ATOL protection covers the booking. We'll confirm which arrangement applies in your booking documentation.
Changes & Cancellations by You
The lead passenger must make all requests to amend or cancel a booking in writing, as soon as possible. Your notice takes effect from the date we receive it in writing. Since cancelling or changing arrangements costs us money, the following charges apply.
Amendment Fees
We charge £25 per person per change to confirmed bookings, plus any charges the relevant supplier applies. We can't guarantee changes, and if we can't make a requested change, the original booking stands.
Cancellation Charges. The table below sets out the standard cancellation charges for package holidays. Accommodation-only and other arrangements may be subject to different charges, which will be confirmed at the time of booking.
| Written Notice Before Departure | Cancellation Charge |
|---|---|
| More than 70 days | Loss of deposit |
| 70 to 29 days | 50% of total holiday cost (or loss of deposit if greater) |
| 28 to 15 days | 75% of total holiday cost (or loss of deposit if greater) |
| 14 days to day of departure | 100% of total holiday cost |
Supplier Cancellation Terms
The charges above are minimums. If a supplier's own cancellation terms charge more, for example where we've already made non-refundable payments to an airline, cruise line, hotel, or tour operator on your behalf, you'll pay the higher amount. We'll always tell you about any supplier-specific cancellation terms when you book, and we'll note these on your confirmation.
Ticketed Flights
We ticket flights once we receive your balance payment in full. Once we've ticketed your flights, the airline keeps the full flight cost if you cancel afterwards, no matter when you cancel. You'll pay the higher of the standard cancellation charge above or the actual non-refundable flight cost. We strongly recommend you have travel insurance in place before you make your balance payment.
Cancellation Due to Extraordinary Circumstances
You can cancel a package before it starts without paying a cancellation charge, if unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances (see Section 11) are happening at your destination and significantly affect your package.
FCDO Advice Changes
If the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advises against all but essential travel to your destination after you've booked, and that advice still stands on your departure date, you can cancel your package holiday and get a full refund.
Changes & Cancellations by Us or the Supplier
Supplier-Initiated Changes
If a supplier changes or cancels your booking, we'll tell you as soon as reasonably possible. We'll pass on any alternatives or refunds the supplier offers, and you must respond within the timeframe given. We aren't liable for supplier-initiated changes, unless we're acting as the package organiser.
Significant Changes by Us (Packages)
If we're the package organiser and need to make a significant change before departure, for example a departure time change of more than 12 hours, a significant downgrade in accommodation, or a material change to the itinerary, we'll give you three choices: accept the change, accept an alternative of comparable standard, or cancel and get a full refund of everything you've paid.
Price Adjustments (Packages)
We can adjust the price of a package booking if transportation costs, taxes, fees, or exchange rates change. If the increase is more than 8% of your total holiday cost, you can cancel and get a full refund. If prices drop, we'll refund you the difference, minus our reasonable administrative expenses.
Our Responsibility & Liability
When Acting as Agent
We must select suppliers using reasonable skill and care. Beyond that, we aren't liable for how the supplier actually delivers their service, or for anything their employees or agents do or fail to do, unless we were negligent in choosing them.
When Acting as Principal (Packages)
We take responsibility for delivering your package properly. If we don't provide any part of it as contracted, we'll fix the issue or pay you appropriate compensation, unless the failure is your fault, caused by an unconnected third party, or the result of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances.
Limitation of Liability
For package holidays, we cap our maximum liability to you at three times the price paid by or on behalf of the affected person(s). This cap doesn't apply to personal injury, illness, or death caused by our negligence, where we accept unlimited liability. We accept no liability for services outside our contracted arrangements, including excursions or activities you book independently. International Conventions, including the Montreal Convention for flights, may limit our liability further.
Financial Protection
The JLT Group's membership with Protected Trust Services (PTS No. 6090) financially protects all bookings. We hold your money in trust, so it's safeguarded if we become insolvent. For further information, visit protectedtrustservices.com/consumer.
For flight-inclusive packages where we act as principal, The JLT Group's ATOL licence (ATOL No. 12564) protects your booking too. We'll send you an ATOL Certificate confirming your cover. Where we act as agent, the relevant supplier's ATOL protection applies instead, and we'll identify this clearly in your booking documentation.
Package Holidays
When we act as the package organiser under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, we're responsible for delivering all travel services as promised, even when third-party suppliers perform them. You can transfer your package to another person if you give us reasonable notice; we charge an administration fee of £50 to £100, plus any applicable supplier charges. We'll give appropriate assistance to travellers who run into difficulty during a package holiday.
Unavoidable & Extraordinary Circumstances
We won't be liable or pay compensation if unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances affect our contractual obligations, where neither we nor the relevant supplier could have anticipated or avoided them. These circumstances include warfare, terrorism, significant health risks including pandemics, natural disasters, severe weather, industrial action, and government or regulatory action, though this list isn't exhaustive. When this happens, we'll take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact on your arrangements.
Insurance
You must arrange adequate travel insurance for yourself and everyone in your party as a condition of booking. Your policy must cover, at a minimum, cancellation, medical expenses, and repatriation. We aren't liable for any losses or costs that a suitable travel insurance policy would have covered. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance, we won't be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result.
Passports, Visas & Health Requirements
You're solely responsible for making sure you and everyone in your party hold valid passports, any required visas, and meet all health and entry requirements for your destination and any transit countries. Passports generally must stay valid for at least 6 months beyond your return date. You must also submit any Advanced Passenger Information airlines require, accurately and on time.
We aren't liable for any costs, fines, penalties, or losses that result from you not holding the correct documentation or meeting entry requirements.
For the latest entry requirements and travel warnings, visit the FCDO travel advice website before booking and before travel.
Special Requests
You must tell us about any special requests, including dietary requirements, room preferences, or accessibility needs, at the time of booking. We'll pass these on to the relevant supplier, but we can't guarantee they'll meet them, and not meeting a request isn't a breach of contract.
If you or anyone in your party has a medical condition, disability, or reduced mobility that may affect your holiday, you must give us full details before you confirm your booking. We'll advise on whether your chosen arrangements suit your needs and, where necessary, point you to appropriate resources. We can't take responsibility for issues arising from medical conditions or special needs you didn't tell us about.
Accommodation, Ratings & Local Charges
Suppliers provide accommodation ratings, and these vary by country, so we can't guarantee their accuracy. Hotels allocate rooms on arrival, subject to availability. Certain amenities, including air conditioning, local taxes, resort fees, and hotel-run services, may carry an extra charge payable locally. We'll tell you about any known charges when you book.
Building Works & Third-Party Guests
If a supplier tells us about significant building or refurbishment works that may affect your stay, we'll tell you before departure. If the works materially affect your holiday, we'll seek appropriate remedies from the supplier. We don't have exclusive use of the properties we feature, so other guests, including corporate groups, may be present during your stay.
Behaviour & Indemnity
You must behave in an orderly and lawful manner throughout your trip. Suppliers can end your booking or remove you from the property or transport without a refund, if they consider your behaviour disruptive, threatening, or damaging, and you're liable for any damage you cause to property. You agree to fully indemnify us against any claims, costs, or losses arising from your conduct or that of anyone in your party.
Delivery of Documents
We aren't responsible for lost travel documents once we've delivered them to you, unless our negligence caused the loss. We may charge you to reissue lost or damaged documents.
Final Travel Checks
You're responsible for checking all travel documents carefully before departure. Please reconfirm your flights directly with the airline at least 72 hours before departure, since flight times can change after we confirm your booking.
Website Use & Intellectual Property
We provide this website for general information only. You may not reproduce or use any site content without our written consent. We strictly prohibit unlawful use of this platform, and we may take legal action against it.
Complaints
If you run into any issues during your trip, you must report them immediately to us and to the relevant supplier, so we can take steps to resolve the matter at the time. If the issue remains unresolved, you must submit a formal written complaint to us within 28 days of your return date. If you don't follow this procedure, it may affect our ability to investigate your complaint and could impact your rights. You can escalate unresolved disputes through Protected Trust Services (PTS) or an appropriate Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme.
Data Protection & Privacy
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. We handle your personal data according to our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms and conditions. We use your information to fulfil your booking, and we may share it with suppliers, airlines, and relevant authorities as required. All our data processing complies with current UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 standards.
Governing Law
The laws of England and Wales govern these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising from them. You agree that the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction to settle any disputes. However, if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can choose to bring proceedings in your local courts under Scottish or Northern Irish law.
