Prices:
All prices quoted by Sportsnet Holidays are per person and in Australian Dollars (unless otherwise specified), inclusive of Australian GST where applicable and are current at time of publication. Prices are inclusive of all applicable government taxes and charges, but they do not include any foreign taxes or other charges that may be subsequently imposed by third parties. Prices should be treated as a guide only and may vary due to changes in government taxes or other charges, or due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Please check all prices and information with your Sportsnet Holidays consultant.
Where currency exchange rate fluctuations occur or any other increases in the price of services provided which are beyond the control of Sportsnet Holidays, then Sportsnet Holidays reserves the right to adjust package prices accordingly, up to and including the day of departure of your itinerary, even though the balance of payment may have been made. Acceptance of this arrangement is a condition of booking.
Australian Good and Services Tax (GST):
At the time of publication, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) has ruled that international travel and related booking fees will not attract GST.
However, domestic travel within Australia does attract GST. Should the GST rate change from the current rate of 10%, Sportsnet Holidays will be required to collect any increase from the customer irrespective of any payments previously made towards a booking.
Airfares:
A number of international and domestic airlines can be used in conjunction with your holiday package. All airfares are subject to availability and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the airfare purchased.
Documentation:
Within Australia, all tickets and documentation are sent via courier to your nominated address approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the event. Please note no signature is required and the courier will leave your documents in a safe place should you not be home. You will receive a call prior to delivery to advise you of the estimated delivery date.
For clients residing outside of Australia, documents will be made available upon arrival at your hotel otherwise an international courier fee can be quoted at your cost for documents to be forwarded to your nominated address.
Accommodation:
Whilst every effort is made to ensure your requested room type is available, we cannot guarantee the actual bedding configuration of the room. These requests are forwarded to the hotel and are subject to availability on the day of check in. All additional requests are also subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed by Sportsnet Holidays. Upon check in at your hotel, a cash payment or credit card pre-authorisation is required to guarantee incidental costs. Some hotels request that we wait to submit guest names until seven (7) days prior to check in, in such a case your hotel room is reserved but your name will not yet be on file with the hotel.
