ARTICLE 4 – Summary

When you make the booking, you are confirming you are over 18-years-old and have the authority to accept, and do accept, our terms and conditions on behalf of yourself and all the members of your group.

Whether the booking is made over the phone, in person, in writing or online, it is important you read and understand these terms and conditions. Your contract is with Maximise and these terms and conditions apply to all elements of our business and service provided.

The person placing the initial booking will be the group leader and will be responsible for making or arranging all payments owed to Maximise. If you wish to change the group leader, we must be notified in writing.

To secure a booking we require a non-refundable, non-transferable £25 deposit. Once the initial deposit has been paid, a booking confirmation will be sent to the group leader via email. Only when the booking is confirmed does the contract between you and Maximise establish.

The group leader is then responsible for pursuing a non-refundable & non-transferable £25 deposit per person. This is required within 14 days of receiving the booking confirmation in order to secure their places.

Your final numbers need to be confirmed at the end of this 14 day period. These £25 per person deposits can be paid by the group leader in full or individually by using our online payment system. People can be added to the trip after the 14 day period, but this is subject to availability and admin fees. There is a £10 admin fee on activity only bookings and £20 on full package bookings.

The final balance will be due 6 weeks before your departure date. If your booking date falls within 6 weeks of the departure date, we would require payment in full paid by debit card or credit card.

It is the group leader's responsibility to ensure every member of his/her party is aware of, and adheres, to our terms and conditions. It is also the group leaders responsibility to supply all information to the group accurately. The group leader is responsible for ensuring all amounts owed to Maximise are paid on time by both themselves and all members of the group.

The Group Leader assumes all responsibility to settle the balance of the invoice for a confirmed booking on or before the due date. Our terms and conditions are always available and easily accessible via our Website. We also make them available to you when your booking is confirmed. By paying your deposit you acknowledge that you agree to our terms.

ARTICLE 5 – Description of activities, accommodation and transfers

The goal of Maximise is to allow groups of clients (from 4 to 30 participants) to book on our website activities and packages for their stag/hen do in the UK and abroad.

The services provided by Maximise are activities, accommodations and transferts.

Description of the services may change after the booking has been confirmed. We will notify you and if you do not agree with the change we will refund you part of the activity or cancel and refund the activity. This won't apply if the amendment is done last minute and/or directly on spot.

5.1 - Accommodation

An accommodation can't be booked in his own. To book an accommodation you have to book at least 1 activity and/or transfer.

If your group booking includes accommodation, the name and address of the accommodation will be sent to either within the week of your departure date, 2 weeks before the departure date, or after your final numbers and the final balance have been received. This is dependent on availability and the time frame between booking and travel date.

The location of the accommodation we booked is deemed centrally located at our discretion. We define a “centrally located hotel” or similar as one approximately 10-15 minutes or less drive from the city centre. Specialist accommodation such as Party Houses or Villas may be slightly further. Our accommodations will provide good access to all elements of your weekend package to including nightlife and daytime activities.

Maximise select the best accommodation for Stag and Hen groups and are careful to identify accommodation that accepts these groups. Nevertheless, accommodations are not party venues. We ask our groups to respect the accommodation, the staff and the other guests by not doing too much noise, not putting loud music at night time, not being aggressive or extremely drunk.

Maximise grade hotels and apartments based on several factors including facilities, location, feedback and Stag and Hen group suitability. Therefore, the grade Maximise's assigns to accommodation may differ from the numerous other hotel grading systems and other companies, both officially and unofficially. If group sizes change from the original booking, Maximise reserves the right to move groups to alternate suitable accommodation or as a last resort, accommodate groups in separate hotels where facilities are shared. Basic B&B, Hostels and Surf Style accommodation can be without private bathroom facilities.

All the accommodation we use is advertised and booked in twin rooms, double rooms, triple rooms, quad rooms and multiple rooms. The beds in the accommodations can be single, double or sofa beds.

Apartment and Villa accommodation prices are fixed prices based on the number in the group at the time of booking. Should the number in your group drop, the cost of the accommodation element may need to be recalculated for the number of people attending. Villa accommodation options are not commonly based in central locations, in some destination, the villa location can be driving distance from the city centre. This drive time varies and you should discuss this with your account manager. By accepting Villa accommodation you are accepting local taxi transportation will be required from time to time to key nightlife hots pots.

All accommodation will require the group to leave a per person behavioral bond/deposit on checking in. These are preventative measures to protect the accommodation from damage and/or complaints from other guests and against bad behavior. Security deposits are common for large group bookings and failure to pay will result in the group not being allowed to stay. If you refuse to pay the bond, your accommodation will not be made available to you and no refund will be issued. Bonds are refunded on departure should there be no damage to rooms and no complaints received.

Accommodation prices may vary from season to season and can be higher in peak dates. Is it often required to book a min 2 night stay to book an accommodation with Maximise.

5.2 – Activities, Packages & Options

Is it possible to book only 1 activity on our website, but during high season (from March to July) we may require a minimum of 3 activities to go ahead with the booking.

5.3 – Transferts

If an airport transfert is booked, we require the flight details and accommodation details (if not booked with Maximise) at least 2 weeks before the departure. If these details are not given, Maximises can cancel th booking without any refund.

ARTICLE 6 – Price & Price Changes

At the moment of the acceptante of the quote, prices may still change. Prices can change depending on availability, date of booking, period of travel.

Prices are confirmed only once the booking as been confirmed and the deposit links have been sent to the rest of the participants.

After the payment of all the deposits prices won't change. We will only increase the price of your booking if:

  • The price if our costs increase as a result of any adverse changes in any of the exchange rates which has been used to calculate the cost of your holiday.
  • The number of participants change.
  • There is any amendment in the booking.

ARTICLE 7 – Payment and Booking

To start the booking process the group leader has to accept the quote and to pay the first £25 (or the whole amount if the trip is in less than 6 weeks). Once the group leader has confirmed the booking, they will be given access to a secure online payment platform. Payments can be made by either Visa or MasterCard debit or credit (all payments made by credit card are debited immediately). It is possible for each participant to choose to:

  • Pay just their share
  • Pay for others
  • Pay the total amount due
  • Split the groom's part into all participants shares

Maximise will than check availability and prices with the provider. As soon as Maximise has all the positive feedback from the providers the rest of the deposit payment links will be sent over. A booking is confirmed only after all deposits have been paid.

Important: Before paying, you must confirm you have read and accepted the T&Cs by ticking the required box. If a participant pays the share of another person, as well as his/her own, they agree to pass on the information stated in the T&Cs.

The booking confirmation sent out by Maximise itemizes the main elements of the booking such as details of the activities, the price paid and, if applicable specific conditions of payment. The confirmation is sent via email to the group leader as soon as possible after full payment has been received.

All groups must pay a £25 deposit to secure their booking. The rest of th deposits needs to be paid withing 14 days.

Payment of all deposits has to be done withing 14 days and payment of the balances need to be done at least 6 weeks before the departure. Your final balance is due 42 days before your weekend date but the exact date is always stated on your confirmation.

8.2 – Cancellations or Modifications made by Maximise

Cancellations:

Very rarely does Maximise need to cancel confirmed bookings. While we work very hard to avoid changes and cancellations, we reserve the right to do so. Many of the changes are minor such as a change to your itinerary relating to the time of a confirmed activity(ies), a change in the activity venue, or a change in your accommodation to a suitable alternative of a similar standard in the same city. In the rare circumstance Maximise need to make a significant change or cancel your weekend after confirmation, we will inform you as soon as possible. Maximise will offer the following options:

  • Full and immediate refund of anything you have paid to us for a service cancelled by Maximise. Please note that refunds can take up to 30 working days.
  • Choose an alternative option (in the same price range) which you may choose to book instead.

Compensation will not be payable in the event Maximise is forced to make changes or cancel your booking as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. Circumstances which could not have been avoided despite all due care and attention.Compensation will also not be payable if Maximise is forced to cancel an activity due to not meeting the minimum number requirement.

Maximise reserves the right to change or alter the price of transfers should changes be made to flights or arrival/departure airports. This is also the case if the change is beyond the group leaders control. In addition, we reserve the right to change or alter the price of transfers should the number of participants change.

No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be available if we cancel as a result of you not complying with our terms and conditions, such as not paying your balance on time. Compensation is also not payable if the change made is minor.

Once you have received your itineraries, it is very rare for Maximise or our suppliers to be forced by Force Majeure to change or cancel part or all of your itinerary. In this event, we regret that we will be unable to provide any refunds or pay any compensation or meet any losses or expenses you incur as a result. We will try to help and advise you to secure alternative activities or events, but you will have to pay any associated and/or additional costs.

In most cases, neither you nor we are entitled to cancel due to adverse weather conditions. Maximise are also not obliged to offer refunds for events affected by or cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.

Modifications:

Maximise always aims to provide the weekend, activities, accommodation and services as advertised when booked. However, sometimes we need to make changes due to circumstances out of our control.

Maximise reserves the right to cancel or change any of the services or price including (but not limited to) flights, accommodation, activities, restaurants and transfers. If we are required to cancel or change service an alternative of equal value will be provided. In the event, this means extra cost to you, we’ll notify you, giving you the choice to accept the changes or opt for a refund for the individual element.

Given the time of booking is often months in advance of the date of travel, Maximise reserves the right to change or alter activities, products, menus or drink offerings within its packages without any notice.

We will always endeavor to notify you of any changes as soon as possible. However, under no circumstance are we obliged to refund any element of a weekend cancelled due to conflict, threat of war, riots, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural disasters, fire, airport closures (delayed flights), weather conditions and events beyond our control that result in an element of your weekend becoming unavailable.

Very rarely and in extreme circumstances, Maximise may be forced by third parties to move your accommodation before or after sending you the itinerary. Maximise reserve the right to move accommodation in this instance to a suitable alternative in the same city. Maximise will accept any out of pocket expenses as a result of us having to change your accommodation. Please note that an uneven number of participants in your group may attract a hotel single supplement surcharge. If triple rooms are available at the accommodation, we will endeavor to book one for your group. However, if a single room has to be booked the group will be liable to pay the supplement as prices are based on shared occupancy.
