Gift list Terms and Conditions

All contributions that we receive on your behalf will be deposited into a unique account specifically for you. When you close your Gift List these funds can be either transferred directly to you (as per option 1 below) or transferred directly to the holiday provider (as per option 2)

No funds can be transferred until you notify us to close your Gift List.

Option 1) If you are travelling close to your wedding/event day this option is often preferred:

Many couples like to close their Gift List after their wedding as this is when most contributions come in. However this may be long-after final payment for your holiday is due.

If you decide not to close your list when final payment is due on your holiday then you will be responsible for paying for your holiday yourself. Once your holiday is booked and you have contacted us to close your list, we will then refund you the balance of your list up to the value of your holiday by either cheque or PayPal. These payments will be issued at the end of the month where possible after we have fully reconciled your funds. If the balance of your list is greater than the value of your holiday then any remaining balance will be issued to you in holiday vouchers for a future trip with responsibletravel.com

Option 2) If your date of travel is not close to your wedding/event date this option is often preferred:

The value of your Gift List will be transferred direct to the holiday provider: When you have chosen and booked a holiday from responsibletravel.com and payment is required please contact us to close your list. All monies will then be transferred directly to the holiday provider. The final balance of most trips is required at least 8 weeks before departure so we encourage you to get in as many contributions before this time.

If you do not close your list with us then the holiday provider may invoice you for an incorrect amount which we cannot be held accountable for.

When you open your Gift List with us we will contact you to see which option you would like to go for, option 1 or option 2.

• By setting up a Gift List with responsibletravel.com you agree to travel with one of our members. To book a holiday you must make your enquiry via our website. If you do not register your initial enquiry with the holiday provider via our website and instead contact them directly then your Gift List cannot be used against the holiday.
  
• Vouchers can only be used against holidays or accommodations marked as eligable. It will be marked 'Gift vouchers can be used with this holiday' clearly on the holiday page. If there is no mention of voucher use on the holiday page then vouchers cannot be used against this holiday.
  
• Your Gift List can only be used towards full and final payment for any holiday or accommodation marked as eligible. The Gift List can only be used to pay for the holiday as booked and cannot be used towards other additional expenses such as food, drink etc.
  
• A £30 administration set up fee is required per Gift List before your list is active. This fee is non-refundable.
  
• You can access your Gift List online at any time to view your contributions. Please note that this list is updated regularly but contributions do not appear instantly. It is also not an official list and we will not be held accountable for any inaccuracies. If you would like an official list of how much is in your account please contact us directly and we will send you this at the start of the next month. We do not have the facility for guests to leave messages.
  
• Once your personalized web page has gone live we are unable to make any image adjustments so please make sure that you are happy with the page before it goes live. We are only able to access pictures within our own image library and you must have permission to use any images that you submit to us.
• Any additional payments that come into your account once your list is closed will be consolidated into one responsibletravel.com holiday voucher to be used for future travel on a different holiday.
  
• In the case of a Honeymoon Gift List your Gift List will remain open until 3 months after your wedding date, unless otherwise notified. You will then have 1 year from this date to use the monies in your account.
  
• One transfer can be issued per Gift List.
  
• Your Gift List should ideally be used against one booking. However, if the value of your booking is less than the total value of your Gift List, any balance remaining will be available for you to use, by the initial expiry date given, on only one further holiday booking through our website. Any remaining Gift List balance after this second transaction will expire.

Your guests can make contributions from £20 upwards.

Payments are normally made online through PayPal. I’m afraid that we are unable to accept payment via the phone. The customer will receive an email receipt from PayPal and from vouchers@responsibletravel.com when they have made a contribution. If your guests would like to pay by cheque then please ask them to contact vouchers@responsibletravel.com or call +44 (0) 1273 600030. We are unable to issue receipts for cheque payment.

All those that contribute towards a Gift List must enter in your unique code on payment, without this we are unable to assign their payment to your account. All contributions are registered under the customers PayPal name.
