10. Cancellations Or Rescheduling By Us

10.1. If: :

  • (a) in our reasonable opinion we (either directly or through our employees, contractors, suppliers or agents) determine that your travel arrangements cannot safely, lawfully or reasonably proceed due to a Force Majeure Event; or
  • (b) you give us notice no more than 14 days prior to commencement of your Events Package that you cannot reasonably make use of them due to a Force Majeure Event, then we may:
  • (c) reschedule your travel arrangements, but only if you are agreeable to the rescheduled arrangements; or
  • (d) cancel your travel arrangements, in which case the Booking will terminate.

10.2. If we cancel your travel arrangements, neither of us will have any claim for damages against the other for the cancelled arrangements. However, we will either:

  • (a) issue you with a credit equal to payments received by us for the cancelled travel arrangements, redeemable within 12 months of issue against any travel services offered by us; or

  • Please note that our ability to issue you with a credit may be dependent on our suppliers issuing corresponding credits to us. We cannot guarantee that our suppliers will issue corresponding credits and so in such circumstances we may opt to pay you a limited cash refund as outlined.

10.3. If due to a Force Majeure Event we cancel travel arrangements after your Events Package has commenced, we will provide you with a refund of recoverable third party costs for cancelled travel arrangements only.

10.4. Where a limited refund is to be paid by us in accordance with clause 10.2(b) above, we will use reasonable endeavours to recover payments from third parties attributable to your booking, but we make no guarantee that we will be able to recover these payments either partially or at all.

Change Fees will be charged in accordance with clauses 5.3 and 5.4 to cover communication and administration costs for any changes to Bookings. You will also be required to pay any additional costs charged by suppliers.

12. Amendents By Us

12.1. Due to the dynamic nature of the travel industry, we may occasionally need to make amendments or modifications to the itinerary and its inclusions and you acknowledge our right to do this. Most changes will not be significant. If we become aware of any significant changes to your itinerary or its inclusions that materially detract from the overall characteristics or value of the trip (where we determine it can still proceed), then we will notify you and refund you an amount attributable to the reduction in value determined by us acting reasonably. Please note this provision does not apply to any curtailment, postponement or cancellation of an Event (see clause 12.3 below).

12.2. You acknowledge that the itinerary, modes of transport, accommodation and/or the trip’s inclusions may need to change during your Events Package due to local circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including road conditions, poor weather, changes in transport schedules, and/or vehicle breakdowns. You agree that we have the right to pass on any costs we incur for alternative arrangements we put in place for your benefit in these circumstances.

12.3. Event Amendments & Cancellations

  • (a) We will not be responsible or liable whatsoever for the non-appearance of any individual driver or participant following you making a Booking. The details of the Event shown in any material supplied by us are correct at the time of publication, but it is your responsibility to check that no alterations have been made to the Event prior to making a booking. We will not be liable for any omission by any person not employed directly by us. You acknowledge that we have no control over the Event and we do not have any and cannot accept any liability for the actions or omissions of the organisers or operators of the Event or their servants, agents, or employees.
  • (b) You acknowledge that the curtailment, postponement or cancellation of an Event will not be considered the cancellation of travel arrangements by us. To the full extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any direct or consequential loss, damage or expense caused by the curtailment, postponement, or cancellation of an Event. We give no warranties that the Event will take place at the time or place stipulated, or at all. We will not be liable to provide any refund if the Event is curtailed, postponed, or cancelled.

12.3. To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • (a) we will not be responsible for any omissions or modifications to the itinerary or the inclusions due to Force Majeure Event or other circumstances beyond our control happening after an Acceptance. This includes any loss of enjoyment or distress caused by omissions or modifications;

  • (c) We will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur resulting from any amendment or change to the itinerary or its inclusions.

13. Unused & Denied Services

13.1. No refunds will be made for any Events Package not utilised, whether by choice or because of late arrival or early departure. This includes the failure of transport to operate according to schedule, which we disclaim responsibility for.

13.2. If you are not fully and validly vaccinated against Covid-19 or other viruses in the destination(s) where services are to be provided, and particular suppliers refuse to provide you with travel arrangements, then you agree you will not be entitled to any refund for those arrangements. We will not be responsible to you for any loss or expenses you incur (including loss of enjoyment or the costs of alternative arrangements) if you are denied services in these circumstances.

14. Refundable Booking

If you have purchased refundable terms on your transaction and are unable to attend the Event or participate in the Events Package due to unforeseen circumstances outside of your control, you may be entitled to a refund. This is subject to the terms and conditions of Refund Protect which you have the option to choose when you make your Booking. We have no control over Refund Protect and are not responsible for any outcome they reach. To apply for a refund please contact Refund Protect. We take no responsibility for the outcome of any refund claim.

15. Client Names – Exactly as Per Passport

For security reasons, airlines and our overseas suppliers require names to be given exactly as stated in your passport. If you do not advise the correct information and we have to re-issue airline tickets or other documentation, then you will be responsible for any fees charged (such as airline cancellation charges or re-issue fees) in addition to our own reasonable administration fees.

16. Travel Insurance

16.1. Travel insurance is your responsibility to cover yourself if you need to cancel your Events Package. For some Events Packages where travel is included (including some group tours), travel insurance is compulsory. We will advise you if this is the case.

16.2. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, luggage, repatriations and additional expenses. Travel insurance can be booked through us or directly with your preferred travel insurer. The choice of insurer is yours. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance at the time you pay your deposit. This is because cancellation fees and charges are payable from that time.

16.3. We do not hold any policy of insurance to cover Event cancellation. It is your responsibility to purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy to cover any such cancellations.

16.4. We take no responsibility for the outcome of any travel insurance claim.

17. Accommodation

17.1. While we will endeavour to secure your preferred room request with the hotel, we are unable to guarantee these requests due to limitations on the number and types of rooms available. Requests are forwarded to accommodation providers and are subject to availability on the day of check in. All additional requests are also subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed by us.

17.2. Accommodation can only be utilised by the customers listed on the room booking. No part of any booking can be utilised by any other person at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that the number of nights of Accommodation included in the Package cannot be divided between customers and therefore all nights booked must be utilised by the same customers.

17.3. Please note that for some accommodation bookings we wait until 7 days prior to check in to submit guest names. In such a case your accommodation is reserved but your name will not yet be on file with the accommodation provider.

17.4. Supercars Travel will not be responsible for any charges for additional hotel services used by you or any costs charged by hotels due to damage caused by you, or for the return of any part of a bond payment that may be required by the hotel or accommodation.

18. Flights

All airfares, including cancellation terms, are subject to the terms and conditions of the airfare purchased. It is your responsibility to contact the airline prior to departure as airlines have the right to reschedule or cancel flights. For significant delays, it is your responsibility to notify the third parties via the contact details provided by us including but not limited to the transfer company, accommodation, tour company and Event organisers as no-shows or significant delays can result in involuntary cancellation.

19. Ticket Conditions

19.1. Any Ticket purchased and the Ticket holder’s entry to and presence at the Event is subject to these Booking Conditions and any Ticket Conditions of Sale and Entry including the limitations of liability imposed by the owners or operators of the Event and/or venue for which Tickets are sold.

19.2. We will distribute your Tickets to you electronically or in a manner that we deem most appropriate. We will let you know which method of distribution we intend to use prior to commencement of your itinerary but reserve the right to amend this at any time. Once distributed, Tickets are your responsibility and cannot be replaced.

19.3. Tickets cannot be exchanged after purchase.

19.4. We are not obliged to replace a Ticket under any circumstance, including but not limited to loss or theft.

19.5. Tickets will not be refunded under circumstances including but not limited to, the non-appearance of any particular person, group or personality whether advertised or not, denial of access to an Event by the Event organiser, any adverse weather conditions or any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Event organiser.

19.6. Tickets may not be advertised for resale on the Internet or in any other medium, resold, exchanged for a fee or reward or other valuable consideration or otherwise commercially dealt with. If a Ticket has been dealt with in contravention of this condition, the bearer of the Ticket may be denied admission.

19.7. If Supercars Travel is made aware of any prohibited use of your Tickets, Supercars Travel reserve the right to cancel your Tickets or Events Package with no liability to you and may refuse to transfer your Booking.

19.8. For many Events, Tickets are sourced under license from the Event organiser and rights holder and may include administration, royalties or distribution fees over and above the face value of the Ticket. This is to enable you early access to the Event and to guarantee those Tickets under license. In some cases, Tickets may be sourced from another supplier.

19.9. In many cases due to postponements of Events or cancellations of Events the Tickets and fees may only be carried across to and valid only for the next scheduled Event.

19.10. Any authorised impression or map of the Event is provided as a guide only to the approximate locations of seating, viewing areas and other conveniences and attractions around the Event and may not be drawn to scale. Natural or other obstructions may impede viewing in some areas and the Ticket holder acknowledges and accepts that no reliance is placed on such impression or map of the Event when purchasing Tickets.

19.11. When booking an Events package through the Supercars Travel Website, you may be able to select the specific section, row and seat number for each Ticket in your Booking. While we will use our best endeavours to ensure your chosen seats remain allocated to you, there may be circumstances where your chosen seating allocation may be required to change.

20. Prohibited Activities

Travel packages and group tours including Tickets obtained from us may not be used for advertising or promotional purposes, as competition prizes or trade incentives, nor may they be used in raffles, lotteries or draws whether for commercial or charitable purposes without the prior written authority of us and the Event organiser which may withhold such authority at its sole discretion.

We strongly encourage you to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 with a vaccine approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. This is so health risks for yourself and others you come into contact with can be mitigated.

24.3. We may request you to provide an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner. If the assessment indicates that you will require special assistance from personnel which we cannot reasonably provide, then we may cancel your Booking. Provided you notified us of your medical condition at the time you made your booking request, we will provide you with a full of refund of payments made. If you fail to notify us at that time or if you fail to provide a medical assessment within a reasonable time of our request, then this will be considered a cancellation by you.

24.4. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if any changed or non-disclosed medical conditions mean that you will require special assistance which we cannot reasonably provide.

24.5 We strongly suggest that your travel insurance policy includes comprehensive cancellation coverage as applicable.
