The carriers’ conditions ofcarriage will apply to such travel and they form part of the contract between you and us. Acopy of the relevant carrier’s conditions for your tour is available from us on request.However, you should be aware that the conditions of carriage will limit the circumstancesin which and the amount of compensation can be claimed.

In the case ofpersonal injury, damages can only be claimed for “bodily injury” and this does notinclude psychological or psychiatric injury. Furthermore the amount that can be claimedis limited in most cases. It is also possible for the carrier to rely upon certain defences,such as showing it took all necessary measures to avoid the damage, or that the damagewas caused or contributed to by you. These too may limit the amount of compensationthat is payable or mean that no compensation is payable. In the case of travel by water,the conditions will incorporate limits set by the Athens Convention. The Convention limitsthe time for making a claim to two years and limits the amount of compensation payableboth for damages for personal injury and other damage in similar ways to the Warsawand Montreal Conventions. Defences are also available which will reduce the amount ofcompensation payable or mean that no compensation is payable.
