SUB CONTRACTOR’S CONDITIONS.

We do not own the accommodation, transport and the sporting facilities provided on your tour; therefore, all contracts that are made on your behalf are subject to sub-contractor conditions. On rare occasions the hotel may require a deposit on arrival to cover any potential damages made during your stay. This is an arrangement between you, the tour organiser and the hotel as we do not have control over these sub-contractor conditions. However, we try to work with suppliers who understand the nature of our business and do not generally require damage deposits.

Whilst we do what is in our power to ensure that the hotels, facilities and sub-contractor services are of a certain standard, Iberosports cannot guarantee or be held responsible if these standards are not met by our sub-contractors.

If an accident does occur during your stay we are available to assist you. We would also appreciate it, if a report of the incident is sent to us in writing within 7 days of the end of the tour. Even if you do not intend to make an insurance claim, we wish to know, so that we can continue to monitor the safety standards of the services offered to our clients.

COMPLAINTS.

Ibersports aim to exceed your tour expectations. However, should you have cause for complaint whilst away, this must be brought to the attention of the Iberosports local representative and the relevant supplier (e.g. hotel manager) immediately who will endeavour to put things right. Should the Iberosports representative or relevant supplier be unable to resolve the problem in resort, you may be asked to complete a written report. Details of the complaint should in any event be notified to Iberosports in writing at our Spain head office within 28 days of the end of the tour.

GOVERNING LAW CLAUSE.

Our ‘terms’ are governed by the law of Spain. Therefore, all contracts given by Iberosports are governed by Spanish law whereby Spanish courts have jurisdiction.

Spanish law, the validity of the remaining parts of the ‘terms’ shall thereby not be affected.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

All event entrants are obliged to fill in the appropriate official entry form, which we will send you. This form must be returned within 7 days, or the specified date for that event, to the issuing office or a specified location and are subject to the conditions of entry over which we have no jurisdiction.

All requested medical information must be supplied otherwise the entry may be invalid.

C) Golf

Please note that changes or cancellation of any green fees may result in 100% green fee cancellation charge, depending on the golf course. We cannot be held responsible for the actual playing conditions of the golf courses whether caused by course maintenance, climate conditions etc.  We do request all maintenance schedules from the golf courses that we work with and where we are advised we pass this information onto you. Please take note that maintenance schedules are subject to change due to the weather conditions. The large majority of golf courses now require golfers to present an official handicap certificate prior to course entry. Therefore we strongly recommend you take a Certificate with you regardless as clubs can charge their regulations. Please note that virtually all airlines now charge for the carriage of golf clubs. Charges will be advised at the time of booking. When making your booking you will be asked for your preferred days of play, courses and start times. Charges will be advised at the time of booking, please take note of the following:

– You will receive an invoice confirming your requested invoice; – When all the clubs respond we will send you a final invoice confirming “actual times”; – Once you are in receipt of the confirmed “actual times” we reserve the right to charge an “amendment fee” if you want to change times again; – Cancellation of “actual times” may incur cancellation charges up to the value of the pre-paid green fee, subject to the cancellation policy of the course involved; – If the golf clubs subsequently change your “actual times” for a Club competition etc we will try to ensure a suitable alternative is found; – Golf clubs reserve the right to mark up matches to 4 balls; – Where a golf club imposes handicap limits and handicap certificate conditions we will pass on your handicap details but it is your responsibility to comply; – Overseeding and hollow-tining can effect certain courses at certain times, we will advise you of these so alternative arrangements can be made (providing we are notified) – Your golf vouchers will be issued as green fees paid in advance. These will either be issued with your travel documents, by the hotel or local representative depending on the destination. Please note that vouchers should be presented to the caddy master at least 15 minutes prior to tee off. Unused vouchers will only be refunded if course closure has prevented play, please note that we will require written confirmation from the course prior to processing the refund.
Whilst we endeavour to meet your requests for specific courses, days and times, these are subject to availability and we cannot guarantee we can meet them. Accordingly requests are not binding with us.
Buggies – please note that the majority of Spanish courses see buggy hire as an extra and in most cases the courses cant guarantee the supply as they view it is an enquiry and not a must. Due to the inconsistent supply of golf buggies, we do not pre-book buggies.

D) Hotel Check In/Check Out

The standard international practice is to let rooms from mid afternoon on the day of arrival until mid morning of the day of departure. Occasionally when you arrive at your accommodation, you may have to wait a short while until your room is ready. Similarly, if you are leaving the destination on a flight later in the day, you may be required to check out of your hotel room earlier in the day. In some cases, you may be able to extend you stay in your room or have access to facilities at the accommodation to change and refresh yourself in, but we cannot guarantee this, and this should be arranged with the accommodation management.

Hotel accommodation meal services (including All Inclusive, Full Board & Half Board) commence from 12 noon on the day of arrival and ends at 12.00 noon on the day of departure.

Please see the rest of these terms and conditions for further details.
