Gohop.ie
strongly recommends that you print and retain a copy of our Booking Terms and
Conditions for future reference. These conditions govern all bookings made with
Gohop.ie and by booking on the site you accept these terms and conditions. When
there is more than one traveller in a booking, the person who makes the booking
accepts these conditions on behalf of all members of the party and is responsible
for all payment due from the party. All
contracts with Gohop.ie and all the matters arising from these contracts are subject
to Irish law and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland. Gohop.ie
is a registered business name of Travel Management Solutions Limited. The Gohop.ie
registered office is located at 38 Pearse Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. The Supplier
is any airline, car rental Gohop.ie, hotel or hotel chain whose service forms
any part of your reservation. Payment
To
secure your booking, full payment is payable to either Travel Management Solutions
or Gohop.ie by the payment due date given on your confirmation of reservation.
Payment can be made by bank or building society drafts (made payable
to Gohop.ie and including details of the passenger names), Laser card, Visa, Access,
Amex, Mastercard or cheque. Please note that when payment is made by cheque that
Gohop.ie requires at least 5 working days for clearance of the cheque prior to
issuing tickets. Gohop.ie cannot accept responsibility for cash sent through the
post. Gohop.ie reserves the right to pass on any charges relating to returned
cheques and credit card chargebacks. 
Passport
Names
All passengers must present valid photo identification at check-in for all
flights.
Expired or damaged forms of photo-ID will not be accepted for any flight. Failure
to present valid photo-ID matching the names on your reservation will result
in your being refused check-in without refund. 
Credit/Debit card
If
your airline tickets are being paid for with a third party credit/debit card we
will require written authorisation to be provided by the cardholder prior to making
the reservation. Changes
and Cancellations by you If
you need to alter your booking prior to ticketing, Gohop.ie will endeavour to
assist. Once Gohop.ie has received payment, and a ticket has been issued, any
changes will be treated as a cancellation and rebooking, and the cancellation
charges as set out by the airline will be payable. You or any member
of your party may cancel your reservation at any time provided that the cancellation
is confirmed in writing by the person who made the original booking. All tickets
returned for refund are subject to a minimum charge of €25 per ticket, irrespective
of the number of tickets returned. The fares shown on Gohop.ie are value or saver
fares which are usually quite restrictive for change or refund. This type of fare
will normally carry a significant penalty for cancellations and refunds, which
may even be up to a 100% cancellation penalty. Changes may also be restricted,
subject to a charge or prohibited altogether, according to route, fare level and
airline. In all cases, unused airline tickets, where reservations are
not cancelled prior to departure, are non-refundable.
Refunds
Tickets
are presented to the respective airlines or consolidator for assessment. Refunds
will not be paid to you until the funds have been received by Gohop.ie from the
relevant airline or consolidator. This usually takes a minimum of 8-10 weeks but
in some cases (ie. lost tickets etc.) may take up to 9 months. Lost
or mislaid tickets will incur a re-issue fee levied by the airline or if required
a new set of tickets will have to be issued at the clients cost. It is always
a good idea to keep a copy of your airline ticket, passport and any relevant visas
separate from your travel documents. This will help to expediate their reissue
if lost or mislaid.
Alterations and Cancellations by the Airlines
In
the unlikely event that a booking has to be cancelled by an airline and no reasonable
alternative can be offered (i.e. cancellation of particular flight by the airlines
or schedule change of more than 18 hours) a full and prompt refund will be made
of all monies paid to the Gohop.ie and no compensation is payable by Gohop.ie
Flights
Please
note that a flight described as "direct" will not necessarily be non-stop.
All departure/arrival times are provided by the airlines concerned and are estimates
only. They may change due to air traffic control restrictions, weather conditions,
operational/maintenance requirements and the requirement for passengers to check
in on time. Gohop.ie is not liable if there is any change to a departure/arrival
time previously given to you or shown on your ticket. It is for this reason that
all clients are advised to reconfirm their flights with the airline, 72 hours
prior to departure. Gohop.ie is also unable to make any special arrangements for
you if your flights are delayed these matters are at the sole discretion of the
airline concerned.
Pricing Policy
All
offers are subject to availability. Due to yield management policies of airline
the fare quoted may change before your booking is ticketed, in which case you
will be informed before full payment is accepted. No surcharge will ever be
levied for air tickets after your final payment has cleared and tickets have been
issued unless you then amend your reservation.
Passports, Visas and Health Requirements.
Travellers
who use the Gohop.ie web site, assume full responsibility for and hereby release
Gohop.ie from any duty of checking or verifying any passport, visa, vaccination
or other entry requirements for chosen destinations. Travellers are also fully
responsible for verifying all safety and security conditions for each destination.
You agree that Gohop.ie is not responsible for any potential risks and hazards
associated with travel to destinations listed on Gohop.ie. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing Gohop.ie assumes no responsibility for standards of
hygiene, cuisine, sanitation, medical treatment or telecommunications services.
Nor is Gohop.ie responsible for any political instability, terrorist activity,
war, social or labour unrest, civil disturbances, arbitrary changes in government
policies, local laws or customs, climatic conditions, methods of conducting business,
military activity or emergency evacuation methods. By embarking on travel
arranged through, or utilising information contained on, Gohop.ie, you voluntarily
assume the risks associated with such travel.
Baggage
Gohop.ie
shall not be responsible for any damage to or loss of luggage or personal items.
Gohop.ie strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance. All incidents of
damaged, lost or stolen luggage should be reported in writing directly to your
insurance company. Note that all airlines limit the amount of baggage you are
permitted to carry by weight and/or a piece system. All excess luggage will be
subject to additional charges by the airline and will be confirmed at time of
check-in.
Behaviour
It
is your responsibility to ensure that you do not behave in a way which causes
offence or danger to others or which risks damage to property belonging to others.
In such circumstances all airline employees and Gohop.ie have the right to terminate
arrangements made on your behalf, in which case Gohop.ie's responsibility to you
ceases immediately and there can be no refunds, no payment of compensation and
no reimbursement of any cost or expense you may incur as a result. Further, you
will be liable to reimburse Gohop.ie for any expenses whatsoever it incurs as
a result of your behaviour.
Special Requests
If
you have any special requests, these will be passed on to the relevant airline
but cannot be guaranteed by Gohop.ie.
Taxes
It
is not always possible to include all taxes on your ticket - in some cases certain
taxes must be paid locally and these are payable to the Government of the country
departed and are non-refundable. Gohop.ie will endeavour to advise you of these
taxes when accepting payment for your booking.
Refunds:
Tickets will be presented
to the respective airlines or consolidator for assessment. Refunds will not be
paid to you until the funds have been received by Gohop.ie from the relevant airline
or consolidator. This usually takes a minimum of 8-10 weeks. Gohop.com applies
an administration charge of €10 per person If
the fare is none refundable, Government taxes may be refunded. Refund requests
must be made within one month from the outward flight travel date.
Warranties and Liability
Gohop.ie
shall have no liability to the client for any loss, damage, costs, expenses or
other claims for compensation arising from any information or instructions supplied
by the client which are incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate, illegible, out of sequence
or in the wrong form, or arising from their late arrival or non-arrival, or any
other fault of the client. Gohop.ie shall not be liable to the client
or be deemed to be in breach of the contract by reason of any delay in performing,
or any failure to perform, any of Gohop.ie obligations in relation to the specified
services, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond Gohop.ie's reasonable
control (including, without limitation, as a result of any action or omission
by any consolidator and/or airline). Gohop.ie makes no warranty that the
service will meet your requirements, or that the service will be uninterrupted
or error free. Gohop shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, special
or consequential damages, resulting from the use or inability to use the service.
Users of our service must be aware that web and computer problems beyond
Gohop.ie's control may occasionally occur. We do not guarantee that the service
provided by this website will be uninterrupted.
Supplier's Conditions
Please
note that, as between you and any of the airlines whose service form part of your
booking, the suppliers' standard terms and conditions will apply. The suppliers'
standard conditions may limit or exclude liability, often in accordance with international
conventions. Copies of these conditions may be requested in writing, but up to
28 days must be allowed for delivery.
Complaints
If
a problem occurs whilst you are travelling, you must inform the airline immediately
so that the matter can be put right. In the event that a complaint cannot be resolved
at the time, you must write within 28 days of your return to the airline's customer
services department quoting your reservation details and giving all relevant information.
Failure to take these steps will hinder the airlines ability to resolve the problem
and/or investigate it fully and in consequence, any right to compensation you
may have will be extinguished or, at the very least substantially reduced.
