Addendum:
COVID-19 and/or other pandemic outbreak-related conditions:
If a customer wishes to cancel the booking, based on official government advice that advises against travel to Portugal, but we are still able to provide the Services as promised, then there is no legal obligation to refund such Customer.
To provide customers with clear terms, especially around COVID-19 and/or other pandemic outbreak-related conditions, we require that at the point of customers paying their balance (9 weeks before travel), when clients are unable to travel due to FCO restrictions preventing travel from the UK to Portugal (including National lockdown measures restricting all travel from the UK, order closures and FCO advise against all non-essential travel from the UK), we will offer the option to change the dates of bookings, subjected to owners approval, availability and price increase, without losing the payments already made. This excludes ‘disclination to travel’, such as not wanting to travel, flight cancellations, mandatory vaccination, or mandatory quarantine/testing on return to the UK. As above ‘Disclination to travel’ will result in the standard cancellation terms being applied, meaning a forfeit of a customer’s deposit unless instructed differently by us.
Where a balance has been paid and FCO restrictions come into place closer to a client arrival date (within 9 weeks of arrival), preventing them from traveling from the UK to Portugal, then this will be dealt with on an individual basis and discussed with all party’s involved (you, the client, us and the property owner).
The Clients shall purchase the necessary travel insurance (including coverage for COVID-19 and/or other pandemic outbreaks-related conditions) for the time prior to travel to Portugal, during their time in Portugal, and returning from Portugal. We are not responsible for arranging accommodation for the clients in case they cannot go back to their country of origin due to COVID-19 and/or other pandemic outbreak-related issues (or any other issues) implemented in their country of origin or at enroute destinations.

Addendum:
COVID-19 and/or other pandemic outbreak-related conditions:
If a customer wishes to cancel the booking, based on official government advice that advises against travel to Portugal, but we are still able to provide the Services as promised, then there is no legal obligation to refund such Customer.
To provide customers with clear terms, especially around COVID-19 and/or other pandemic outbreak-related conditions, we require that at the point of customers paying their balance (9 weeks before travel), when clients are unable to travel due to FCO restrictions preventing travel from the UK to Portugal (including National lockdown measures restricting all travel from the UK, order closures and FCO advise against all non-essential travel from the UK), we will offer the option to change the dates of bookings, subjected to owners approval, availability and price increase, without losing the payments already made. This excludes ‘disclination to travel’, such as not wanting to travel, flight cancellations, mandatory vaccination, or mandatory quarantine/testing on return to the UK. As above ‘Disclination to travel’ will result in the standard cancellation terms being applied, meaning a forfeit of a customer’s deposit unless instructed differently by us.
Where a balance has been paid and FCO restrictions come into place closer to a client arrival date (within 9 weeks of arrival), preventing them from traveling from the UK to Portugal, then this will be dealt with on an individual basis and discussed with all party’s involved (you, the client, us and the property owner).
The Clients shall purchase the necessary travel insurance (including coverage for COVID-19 and/or other pandemic outbreaks-related conditions) for the time prior to travel to Portugal, during their time in Portugal, and returning from Portugal. We are not responsible for arranging accommodation for the clients in case they cannot go back to their country of origin due to COVID-19 and/or other pandemic outbreak-related issues (or any other issues) implemented in their country of origin or at enroute destinations.
