Access to and use of any information on this website is conditional upon your acceptance of these website use conditions without modification. Please read them carefully. If you do not wish to accept any part of them, you must not use our website.
booking conditions
The i-escape.com website service is operated by Ram Tinto Associates (RTA) Ltd, a UK-registered company with contact details as show below. Ram Tinto Associates Ltd is NOT a travel agent or tour operator but a facilitator, which has relationships with a number of suppliers, whose properties and special interest trips are featured on this website. Your booking, when it is made, will not be with RTA or i-escape.com but with the relevant accommodation/trip supplier.
Your reservation will become confirmed once you have sent on-line confirmation and provided your credit card details, and paid any required deposits and when the supplier acknowledges receipt of your deposit/guarantee. Any other amounts due from you other than any cancellation fees collected by i-escape.com (RTA) on behalf of any supplier, will be made direct to the supplier concerned. As such, we accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any services or arrangements you purchase or for the acts or omissions of any suppliers or other persons or parties connected with any arrangements.
In some cases i-escape.com (RTA) will charge an initial non-refundable deposit on behalf of the supplier. These deposits are charged in Sterling or, if provided in another currency, at the equivalent amount using the current market conversion rate to the sterling pound against the deposit amount.
All bookings for accommodation and trips are subject to the booking conditions of the relevant supplier. Customers are responsible for reading the supplier’s booking conditions of which you are advised at the time of booking.
Where service offerers provide holiday itineraries, these will be subject to the terms and conditions of these service offerers and are governed by the laws of the country in which they operate. For example where tours, trips, transfers, accommodation and other services are provided by Tailormade Tours or other service offerers (e.g. Destination Indus Kerala), these holidays are subject to their own terms and conditions and the laws of the country in which they operate (e.g. India).
If you need to cancel or amend a confirmed booking, cancellation/amendment charges may be payable to the supplier. The amount of such charges will depend on the individual supplier's cancellation policy and usually varies according to the period of notice given.
You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance, at the time of booking, for all members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance you purchase is adequate and appropriate for your particular needs.
Nothing on this website constitutes an offer on our part or on the part of the suppliers. The matters detailed constitute an invitation to you to make an offer on the stated terms to purchase arrangements featured. Our suppliers may accept or decline any such offer. All arrangements featured or referred to are at all times prior to specific confirmation subject to availability and no warranties, promises or representations are given as to availability.
Parents are responsible for ensuring children are supervised and are careful not to book any excursion or activity that could prevent a risk to their children
Please note that overseas hotels and or service offerers may not have facilities for the disabled that are of an equivalent standard to those found in the UK. Anyone suffering a disability should confirm with the hotel or service offerer the suitability of the hotel prior to making a booking
