Accordingly, the following terms and any contracts arising therefrom are between you and Kennedy and Carr UK Limited.

Founded in Dublin in 2010, we are a specialist travel agency with expert knowledge of the Irish market.

Our services are as advertised and in respect of those services we are acting only as Booking Agent, connecting guests with the best services available throughout Ireland. Accordingly, third party names may appear on your credit card statement.

This website and our products are offered to you, the customer, conditional upon your acceptance without modification of the terms and conditions contained herein. Because they contain legal obligations, we encourage you to read them carefully and to keep a printed version with your travel documents.

Application of These Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions, together with the terms set out in the Booking Form, including the Good to Know section, and any further terms and conditions notified to you by us prior to your entering into a contract with us (including without limitation any terms and conditions in our brochures or on our website) and any other terms which we both otherwise agree, will be binding on Kennedy & Carr and you, once a contract is made between us and will form the basis of that Contract. A contract will exist between us once you have made your booking with us, and we have received your booking form and your deposit (or such other fee as may be appropriate, for example where you are making a ‘late booking’).

If any part of our terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of them will not be affected and will remain valid and enforceable.

Booking Conditions

All holidays are subject to availability. When you make a booking with us you are making an offer to us to buy some of our advertised services. We reserve the right to refuse to accept and/or not to proceed with any booking at any time in our sole discretion. Once the contract is made between us we will perform our obligations to you in accordance with our terms. All bookings must be made by a person aged eighteen years or over. Where your booking is for more than one person, the first-named person in your party aged eighteen years or over will be treated by us as the ‘lead name’ for your booking. The lead name will be responsible and be deemed to accept responsibility for making all payments due to us in accordance with our contract. Completion and submission by you of our booking form will be treated by us as confirmation that you have read, understood and accepted all our Terms. It is important that you accurately complete our booking form as all documents, notices and other information relating to your holiday will be sent to this address. It is your responsibility to ensure that the details which you supply to us are correct. We can accept no responsibility for any incorrect or misinformation supplied to us by you.

4. Alterations or Cancellation by Us

  2. Unless otherwise agreed the holiday price includes the cost of all land- based transportation, driver- guide (& his overnight expenses where applicable), fuel, road tolls and associated taxes.
  3. Unless otherwise agreed the holiday price does not include travel insurance, flights, baggage / excess baggage charges, tipping for services, guest accommodation, meals, refreshments or items of a personal nature.

  1. We accept and acknowledge our obligations to you in accordance with the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (UK) or such statutory amendments thereof for the proper performance of our obligations under the contract.
  2. Our statutory liability in this regard is subject to the exceptions set out in the Statutory Regulations. In summary those exceptions apply where failure to perform the contract or its improper performance is due neither to our fault nor that of anyone supplying services to us but is due or attributable to you, unforeseeable or unavoidable failures attributable to unconnected third parties, Force Majeure or events which neither we nor our suppliers could, even with all due care, foresee. Even so if you suffer difficulties in any of these circumstances we will do our best to give you prompt assistance within reasonable limits.
  3. Notwithstanding paragraphs a) and b) above our liability and / or the amount of compensation payable by us is limited in accordance with the relevant international conventions including the Warsaw, Geneva, Berne, Athens and Paris Conventions.

  4. Please note that we cannot accept any responsibility for weather conditions. In particular, severe snow or flood conditions may make a particular location impassable. Every effort will be made to ensure that you are not subject to inconvenience due to any of the above, but no responsibility can be accepted if this does occur.
  5. If you are unhappy with any of your holiday while you are on tour you must address your complaint immediately to the supplier of the services to us.They will do their best to rectify the situation. It is unreasonable to take no action while on holiday, but then to write a letter of complaint upon return. If the problem has not been resolved by the end of your holiday then you must supply us with full written details within 30 days thereof. Failure by you to complain at such earliest opportunities may prejudice your legal rights.
  6. We are not responsible for any loss, death or injury that is attributable to your acts or omissions, or the acts or omissions of third parties not involved in providing the services which make up your holiday, unless we could have foreseen such circumstances. Nor are we liable for unusual or unforeseen circumstances whose consequences could not have been avoided by exercising all due care.

It is your responsibility that passports (with at least 6 months validity beyond the date of your return), visas, and other necessary travel documents are in order and we reserve the right to charge you any costs incurred by us due to your failure in any of these respects. It is also your responsibility to check in for your flights by the correct time and to be in the right place at the right time for ground travel arrangements. We do not accept liabilities if you fail to do so and no credits or refunds will be given for lost or mislaid transportation tickets or other travel documents.
  2. You must act with reasonable prudence whilst on holiday and must comply with all health and safety requirements of guides, accommodation providers and the like.
  3. As between you and suppliers of accommodation, transport and other services which form part of your holiday their conditions of business will apply which may mean that you will be required by such suppliers to sign liability waivers or other documentation for some potentially more hazardous activities such as golfing, walking, horse- riding, boating, canoeing / kayaking etc.

8. Insurance

It is strongly recommended that you take out a comprehensive travel insurance to fully cover all aspects of your holiday including cancellation, personal liability, personal accident, personal baggage, public liability, medical expenses and repatriation at the time of booking your holiday and prior to tour commencement.

    • Prior to departure, you have been diagnosed or have otherwise been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are no longer able to travel and/or required to self-isolate.
    • After your departure and during your holiday, you have been diagnosed or have otherwise been in contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and are required to self-isolate.
    • You fail any tests, checks or other measures imposed by a supplier, airline, port or airport, border control authority or any other government body or local authority or fail to submit for testing or assessment when requested to do so and as a consequence you are denied boarding, denied entry to the destination or otherwise denied access to any of your travel arrangements. This includes any requirement to be fully vaccinated (including any and all necessary boosters) and for that vaccination to be valid, in-date and accepted by the country(ies) which you are travelling to.
  3. In response to the Covid-19 global crisis, each destination has implemented their own health and safety measures and precautions in an attempt to combat the spread of the disease. Specific regions, resorts, event organisers and suppliers have also introduced their own health and safety measures in line with government advice (local or national), depending on their capacity and ability to take certain precautions. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of and comply with the measures that are in place at the travel destination, resort or other accommodation you have booked, Health and safety measures and requirements may also vary for each activity, tour and other excursions and travel arrangements you have booked.

    These measures may be mandatory and it is essential that you and any members of your party comply with and respect any local and national health and safety measures throughout the duration of your holiday as you could face penalties for failing to do so. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, social distancing, the use of facemasks both indoors and outdoors, a maximum number of households or people in the accommodation or other facilities and restrictions on the use of certain facilities.

    They may also include a requirement for you to take a specific Covid-19 test and show a negative result or proof of recent recovery of Covid-19 or show proof of being fully vaccinated (including any and all necessary boosters) and for that vaccination to be valid, in-date and accepted by that specific supplier, destination, resort etc. We will not be liable for any costs, fees, charges or penalties you incur from your failure to comply with any mandatory requirements or measures.

    Where possible, we will make you aware in advance of any mandatory measures that are in place at your travel destination and/or in place at any of the travel arrangements that you have booked. However, it is your responsibility to check the measures and requirements that are in place at your travel destination and ensure you are checking these regularly before your departure date. For further information we suggest you visit the government pages of your country of residence and search for the country(ies) you are planning to travel to, as well as the website and/or terms and conditions of your specific travel arrangements. Please note that regulations may differ in Ireland (European Union) and Northern Ireland (United Kingdom).
  4. It is your responsibility to check the entry requirement for the destination(s) you are travelling to as many countries have introduced additional entry requirements. Entry requirements may include, but are not limited to, proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken at a certain point prior to your departure date, additional Covid-19 test(s) taken at certain points during your holiday or proof of a Covid-19 vaccination (including any and all necessary boosters) and for that vaccination to be valid, in-date and accepted by the country(ies) which you are travelling to. In addition to these requirements, you may be required to complete and present additional travel documentation beforehand detailing any destination you have travelled through/visited recently and whether you have been diagnosed or been in contact with anyone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19 recently. If you fail to complete and/or present the above when required, or if you fail any health check, you may be denied boarding and entry to your travel destination(s). We do not accept responsibility if you cannot travel and we are not liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur if you have not complied with the requirements or if you fail any health check. Unless stated otherwise, you will be responsible for the cost of any Covid-19 tests that you are required to have before and/or after your departure.

    Entry requirements are likely to differ for each country and may change before your departure date. Therefore, it is important that you keep up to date with the entry requirements that are in place for your travel destination(s).

    It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of the above and regularly check for the most up to date information up until the point of your departure.

  4. Times are based on local time in Dublin, Ireland. For example, if a tour with a 24 hour cutoff period is scheduled to commence at 08:00 Dublin time on 22nd November, you will be able to cancel for a full refund up to 07:59 Dublin time on 21st November. This is the most competitive Free Cancellation & Full Refund policy in the Irish tours market.

  6. Your full refund will be made automatically and securely to the card used to make the booking. We will not issue refunds to you by other means e.g. in cash, to an alternative credit card, to your bank account or by cheque etc. It can take between 5-10 business days for your refund to make its way back through the financial system and reappear on your account, once released.

  11. Please bear in mind that our tours are priced in Euros. If you purchase a tour with a card denominated in another currency e.g. USD, GBP, AUD etc. the exact amount charged to your card will be based upon the prevailing exchange rate in the global currency market at the time of purchase. If the exchange rate moves in your favour between the purchase date and cancellation date, this means that you may receive a refund in your own currency higher than the original amount on your credit card statement. If the exchange rate moves against you between the purchase date and cancellation date, this means that you may receive a refund in your own currency lower than the original amount on your credit card statement. Exchange rates are fluctuating 24/7 and are a function of currency trade at a global level. We have no control over exchange rates. We will only refund to you the full EUR amount we received at time of booking.
  12. The banks / credit card companies which facilitate your booking levy "booking fee" charges (typically in the region of 2.9% and detailed in your cart before checkout). These are financial transaction charges levied by the banks and are not part of your "tour price". Credit card charges will not be refunded if you decide to exercise your 24 hour cancellation option. Credit card fees will only be refunded in circumstances where the company is forced to cancel your booking.

  2. The booking price of the services does not include insurance. You are responsible for sufficient insurance coverage. The insurance requirement depends on the booked activity.
  3. For time and deadline calculations, the time zone of the Supplier shall be decisive.

11. Further Rights of the Supplier

  1. The Supplier may cancel the Activity on the agreed date without observing a cancellation period if weather conditions, official measures, strikes or other external circumstances that are unforeseeable or can only be averted by disproportionate efforts on the part of the Supplier and are beyond the Supplier's control (in particular events of force majeure) make it impossible or significantly impede or endanger the performance of the activity. In this case, the booking price paid for the canceled Activity will be refunded.
  2. The Supplier may exclude you from an Activity if you do not meet the requirements for participation required on the Kennedy & Carr Platforms. Also, if you would endanger yourself or others through your participation, or if you disrupt the implementation of the activity in any other way. In these cases, the booking price paid for the activity will not be refunded.
  3. The Supplier may make immaterial changes to the program at any time if this appears necessary due to circumstances arising at short notice. This includes tour dates, prices, itineraries, routes, inclusions, coverage, age requirements, etc. at any time at their discretion.
  4. Suppliers seek to avoid such changes where possible and will only seek to make changes where this will improve the experience of tour participants or where this is necessitated by local operational factors. Current itineraries will be maintained at www.kennedycarr.com at all times.
  5. Insignificant program changes also include a change of the starting/meeting point for the tour, provided that the new meeting point can be reached by the customer from the originally agreed meeting point on foot or by public transport within 15 minutes. A change of the start/meeting point is possible up to 24 hours before the start of the booked activity and will be communicated to you by email or displayed via the Kennedy & Carr platform.

Notwithstanding the above, when we are informed in advance by our service providers and/or suppliers of a change to a booking and/or to a tour, product or event, we make every reasonable effort to notify the consumer, travel agent and/or distributor as appropriate, in order to cancel, amend or re-issue the booking where feasible.
