The Academy holds various trips abroad, and each one will have it's own set of terms and conditions appropriate to that trip, these will be displayed for each of the trips we are booking.

Some of our trips are booked through travel companies who will have their own sets of terms and conditions which you must adhere to - these will be communicated to you.

We have put together some general terms and conditions for our trips abroad which are detailed below.

We want you to enjoy a safe and enjoyable trip so please ensure you agree to these terms and conditions before paying.

On booking you agree to pay for the entire trip and agree to pay installments on time otherwise it leads to a lot of hassle for the Academy team booking you onto the trip and also means you will lose out the payments you have made if you do not pay the travel agencies on time.

       

Terms and conditions of our trips abroad - Majorca June 2011 trip and Egypt December 2011 trip:

 

1) To book onto these trips a deposit of £100 is due immediately to book your place. On booking you are liable for the full costs of the trip, if for any reason you pull out of the trip no refunds will be given (the travel companies do not issue refunds) and should this occur then the Academy will try to cover the remaining balance and sell your place on at a discounted rate to another model who wishes to attend the trip. You will not be reimbursed but this protects you from having to still pay the full rate when many trips abroad would still bill you for the final amount. If you cancel then a cancellation charge of £35 becomes payable by you, this is to cover the fee needed to change the name on the booking with the tour operator.

To book a trip last minute a deposit of £400 is payable to pay towards the cost of your flights and hotel/food and drink. Payments can then be paid monthly if required.

2) Please ensure you have adequate travel insurance in place who will be able to cover the cost of your holiday in an emergency i.e loss of passport, sickness and so on. It is a legal requirement that you book travel insurance and by booking onto this trip you agree that you have travel insurance - or will purchase it before you travel. A single European trip policy can cost as little as £10 and not only covers your holiday, but personal belongings, personal injury and sickness abroad. You will also be required to get a European health card which is free and covers you for sickness in Europe, you can find more details about this here. If you wish for us to purchase travel insurance for you we can do this at a cost of £20 to cover the insurance policy and admin fee's.

3) You are required to find your own transport to the airport and back again, there are usually models and photographers from all over the country attending so you may be able to car share to cut costs.

4) You will be required to check in at least two hours before departure, you will be advised to meet the Academy team 3 hours before departure at the airport so we can all check in together. If you miss the flight it is up to you to claim under your travel insurance no refunds will be given from the Academy or the travel company. The Academy always arranges meeting points and times on each trip.

5) You agree to act in a friendly and professional manor at all times, we want you to enjoy a holiday and a few drinks in the evening - we are not there to babysit you and tell you how to act. However you must be nice to the Academy team and other girls at all times, we do not accept nasty behaviour on our trips.

6) We advise you do not go anywhere alone whist abroad - whilst the resorts are very safe please do not walk outside the resort or go into town alone. Kerri can advise you on the safest options and where to go, how to get taxi's and so on if you do wish to go somewhere in a small group.

Your safety on this trip is of highest importance and you agree not to endanger yourself whilst on our trip by going off alone or by using unlicensed taxi's.

7) If unforseen circumstances arise which are out of our control then your trip will be rescheduled through the travel company as per there terms and conditions. These circumstances can include volcanic activity, 'random acts of god', terrorism and so on. If this is to happen then we will carry forward the portfolio shoots to when the travel company can reschedule the holiday and rebook the entire trip at no expense to you or us. From booking through a major tour operator such as them you are covered should such circumstances arise. No refunds will be given for Academy fee's paid to us as these would have already been spent through the travel company on sending our team out there as well. Should the travel or flight companies chose not to refund you this is out of the control of the Academy.

On booking onto the trip you agree to these terms and conditions in full.
