However, if, having used all reasonable means, they are unable to do so, they will not be held responsible. In such circumstances, we would agree to provide a comparable alternative or refund the money paid.
Clients of Choral Holidays are asked to remember that they are part of a group and to conduct themselves in a way which would not cause any other member of the group to feel in any way uncomfortable. Failure to do so may result in Choral Holidays asking the client to leave the holiday. Any expense incurred in a client having to find alternative accommodation or having to return home early will be payable entirely by the client.

No responsibility can be accepted by Choral Holidays for the breakdown of public services, including water and electricity. Electricity and water supplies are often not as reliable abroad as they are in the UK. Breaks do occasionally occur. We cannot be held responsible fir these or any other facilities which are beyond our control. If during the course of the holiday threw is cause for complaint, please notify our representative immediately in order that we can take any necessary action. If any claim is contemplated, it must be notified within two weeks of returning from the holiday, in writing. We cannot entertain any complaints made outside of these guidelines.
Whilst Choral Holidays make every reasonable effort to ensure that all descriptions relating to holidays supplied to clients are accurate at time of publication, it is not impossible that changes in facilities may occur without our knowledge. in this event we will endeavour to communicate such changes but we cannot be held responsible for inaccuracies which may be beyond our control.

Choral Holidays reserve the right to reduce the price of their holidays or make special offers at any time.
Surcharges reflect adverse changes in the value of sterling, the price of other costs outside our control, which affect the cost of your accommodation. We hope that surcharges will not be necessary and we will take all steps within our power to make sure that they are not necessary. However, should they become necessary for any reason, they will be limited and you will receive notice not less than four weeks prior to departure.
Choral Holidays will ensure that our clients are provided with all their meals and their drinks at mealtimes. Breakfast and some of the evening meals will be provided at the accommodation. Other meals will be in restaurants or will take the form of picnics or Bar-b-ques. The drinks with evening meals will be wine and water. Drinks at all other times will be paid for by Choral Holidays with a surcharge being made at the end of the holiday to cover their cost.
It is the aim of Choral Holidays that all holidays will involve the forming of a choir to sing pieces in four part harmony. However, whilst we will do everything in our power to make this possible, we cannot guarantee that the bookings received will make this possible. In such cases we will work on and perform music two and three part harmony.
