PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR INSURANCE COVERS YOU FULLY for everything you require yourself to be covered for during your holidays. Luxury India cannot be held responsible if you purchase an inadequate insurance policy . Non-European Union passengers should obtain equivalent insurance cover in their country of residence.
In an event of any Accident , Injury or Death during the Holidays – Luxury India or any of the suppliers will not be held responsible in any way what so ever . The clients are advised to have a complete insurance cover on their own that should cover in case of any such mishap or death.
The law of the country you are travel in will apply incase of such an incident happens and therefore the clients are once again reminded that a full INSURANCE COVER should be taken for their holidays.
Excursions / Representatives and Agents: Excursions only form part of your holiday arrangements if they are described in this website or purchased before departure. Game drives in wildlife reserves will be subject to the rules and regulations applicable to the particular reserve at the time of your visit and as laid down by the relevant government. Such rules and regulations are subject to change without notice and are beyond the control of Luxury India. Our acceptance of liability for the acts of our representatives or agents in clause above is only binding if our representatives or agents are acting with our authority and/or performing their duties as described in this website or brochure. This excludes for example any social contact that you may have with them.
Arbitration :
If you have cause for complaint during the holiday please bring it to the notice of our local representative and/or the hotel who will try their best to solve the problem. It is not advisable to do nothing about a problem when it occurs but to later write to us seeking recompense. If we feel you avoided action to redress a problem when it occurred, no compensation will be offered if it is brought to our attention later. If the problem remains unresolved in spite of your pointing it out locally to our agents when it occurred please write to us within 28 days of the completion of the holiday. We shall investigate the complaint and send you a reply as soon as possible.
