The Company reserves the right to alter or cancel the whole or part of any trips. The Company will advise the Client of any changes or cancellations as soon as reasonably possible. Different terms will then apply depending on whether the proposed changes are, in the opinion of the Company, minor or substantial.
a) If the proposed changes are, in the opinion of the Company, minor, the Company will make alternative, comparable arrangements at no cost to the Client, who shall accept such alternative arrangements.
b) If the changes are, in the opinion of the Company, substantial, then the Company may offer alternative arrangements to the Client, but the Client shall not be obliged to accept such alternative arrangements.
