Terms & Conditions
This Privacy Policy applies to the activities Paradise Getaways Pte Ltd (Company Number: 2022RC000147]. The terms and conditions below will apply to your purchase and booking of a Paradise Getaways package. Please read the following terms and conditions carefully. You must be 18 years of age or older to make a booking. It is important you understand and agree with the following terms and conditions. You should not proceed with any purchase or booking unless you do.
We will rely on the authority of the person making the booking to act on behalf of any other traveller on the booking and that person will bind all such travellers to these terms and conditions. The person making the booking has ultimate authority over the booking, including amendments and cancellations.
AGENCY
We act as an agent only. We offer a range of travel services on behalf of others who provide those services. Our duties to you are limited to arranging bookings on your behalf with those service providers. We are not responsible for providing those services to you, or for the standard of any service provided. If a service provider fails to provide you with a service, or you are not satisfied with the standard of any service provided, you agree that your only rights are directly against the service provider and not against us. You agree that we are not liable to you for any losses that you suffer in those circumstances, and that you will not claim against us (directly or indirectly) any refund, credit or other compensation. You agree that any money that you have paid to us will not be held on trust for you, but will be used by us to make payment to the service providers to secure the booking for your travel services.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
We do not accept any liability, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for any act or omission of travel service providers including their failure to provide a service whether through their negligence or otherwise. We do not make any representation about the standard of the services to be provided by travel service providers, and we accept no liability in that regard. We do not accept any liability, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for any injury, losses, expenses, delays or inconvenience suffered by you in connection with your booking or your travel services, unless our liability is prescribed by legislation which cannot be excluded.
Without limiting the foregoing, we will not be liable for any loss of benefit or change in status relating to any loyalty, rewards, frequent flyer or other program which result from the actions of a travel service provider, including a change in flights or a change in airline carrier. Where our liability cannot be excluded, our liability is limited to the amount that you have paid for your travel services.
RATES AND PRICES
Rates and prices quoted in print or on the website and quoted by our reservations personnel are subject to availability and can be withdrawn or varied without notice. Price changes may occur at any time by reason of matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or the service provided by the suppliers. Such factors include but are not limited to adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, price increases made by our suppliers, taxes and airfare increases. Any price increase that is outside our control will be added to your account and is payable no later than 60 days from departure, at our absolute discretion and where suppliers permit we may also offer a refund. Rates and prices do not include any costs incurred en route to and from the destination, meals and/or alcoholic beverages (unless specified), telephone calls, items of a personal nature, and personal services not specified as being included in costs on the relevant web pages for each supplier’s product.
DEPOSITS, HELD BOOKINGS & FINAL PAYMENTS
You will be required to pay a deposit or deposits when booking. Our consultant will advise you of how much that will be. Payment of a deposit merely holds the reservation and does not guarantee that the final payment amount will not change due to circumstances beyond our control as referred to in “Rates and Prices”
All deposits are non-refundable (including where you or we cancel the booking for any reason) unless the booking is cancelled due to some negligence or breach of duty by us.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Payment by Credit Card
Credit card surcharges apply and this surcharge will be advised on request and at time of charging. If you have paid any amount to us by credit card, you agree that you will not lodge any dispute with your credit card issuer about the validity of the transaction or the provision of goods or services by us, where a service provider fails to provide a service to you for any reason. You agree that your remedy lies against that service provider and not against us, and that by lodging a dispute with your credit card issuer you will be seeking a remedy against us in breach of these terms and conditions.
PEACE OF MIND POLICY

The airlines have the right to reschedule or cancel flights at any time. It is your responsibility to contact the airline prior to travel to ensure the scheduled departure time has not changed. We do not accept responsibility should changes occur nor do we accept responsibility for any additional cost incurred by you to make alterations to your booking to accommodate these changes as these are beyond our control.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
We strongly recommend that you obtain travel insurance. The Fijian Government also strongly recommends that all travelers obtain travel insurance prior to travel. You must obtain a Product Disclosure Statement relating to the travel insurance product you are considering purchasing and should read that documentation before making any decision about whether to acquire the product. Our reservations consultants can provide you with general information about travel insurance at the time of booking. If you do not obtain travel insurance either through us or another travel insurance provider, you acknowledge that you may be required to sign a disclaimer.

Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation, re-issue and/or amendment fees. All Travel Documents are non-transferable. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder and some carriers will deny carriage if the name varies from the passport or photo identification provided and the booking may be cancelled. It is your responsibility to ensure you have all required Travel Documents prior to travel. We will not be held responsible for tickets and/or documentation lost by you or a third party. Any charges associated with re-issue and re-sending of tickets and/or documentation will be at your expense. An incorrect name on a booking may result in an inability to use that booking and the booking being cancelled. Any errors in names, dates and timings on your documentation will be your responsibility. Please advise us immediately of any errors.
PASSPORTS AND VISAS
It is your responsibility to ensure that you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits which meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Passports are required by all passengers travelling internationally and are always the responsibility of the passenger. Many countries require travelers to have at least six months’ validity remaining on their passports beyond the date of return, and immigration authorities may refuse entry if you arrive with less than this. Some countries require a machine readable passport.
If you are travelling to the United States (including Hawaii) please see https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov for information regarding compulsory pre-registration for their visa waiver program. Please note, you may not meet the requirements of ESTA and may be required to obtain a visa.
COVID RESTRICTIONS
It is the customer’s responsibility to check the country of departure and country of arrival’s
COVID19 restrictions. Our 3rd party supply partners (EG. Airlines, Cruise Line, hotel & touring operators etc) may also have additional restrictions, so it is the customer’s responsibility to check that all travelers in your party also meet these requirements. We recommend that you use the information on the 3rd party supplier website to ensure that you are aware of the latest updates.
The situation is fluid and as such country and state entry requirements along with 3rd party supplier embarkation requirements are changing frequently. All travelers must comply with their final destination’s immigration and health requirements. For guidance on current requirements please refer to –
