TERMS & CONDITIONS OF
The present conditions are applicable from August 1st 2012. The passenger acknowledges having read and understood the following provisions and accepts them fully. The present conditions are subject to French Law, notably to its Code of Transport, and/or applicable maritime international regulation, enforced at the time of the facts.
I – CONDITIONS OF
Prices
All prices have been calculated on the basis of the time and date at which crossings are taking place, as well as current economic conditions and circumstances. They shall apply solely to tickets booked at latest on the day before departure.
Tickets purchased through other distribution channels (e.g. at the terminal or on the Internet) shall be subject to specific pricing.
Our prices may be increased without advance notice in order to take into account a variation in the exchange rate of the reference currency used in the price of the ticket, an increase in the price of the fuel or port duties and taxes, or any new taxes imposed by the authorities up to one week before the date of departure.
If the vehicle is over
If your vehicle is being used for commercial purposes these prices and conditions are not applicable.
All tickets are non transferable. Request for reimbursement for purely financial reasons (special offers published and applicable after the date of purchase of the ticket) are not accepted.
Fare Durations
- Day/24 hour fares. Your return journey must be scheduled to commence within 24 hours of your scheduled outbound sailing time.
- 5 day fares. Your return journey must be scheduled to commence within 120 hours of your scheduled outbound sailing time.
- Single fares. Valid for a single journey. Combine two singles for stays of any longer duration.
Penalty charges apply if the duration terms are not respected.
In the event that a single fare is booked and used in the context of a return journey, MyFerryLink is entitled to request and the Customer agrees to pay the difference between the price of the single ticket and the price of a return ticket at the time of the journey. MyFerryLink reserves the right to claim the full amount due.
Cancellations, Refunds and Amendments
An amendment is defined as any change made by you to time or date of travel, type of vehicle, made to each single journey.
If you choose a time or date for which the crossing price is less than the original fare, you will receive a credit for future travel equivalent to the difference between what you have paid and the new applicable fare, less any modification fee.
If you choose a time or date for which the crossing price is more than the original fare, you must pay the difference plus any applicable modification fee.
Your booking is valid only on the sailing you have reserved. If you do not travel on this sailing, amendment conditions will apply. However, if you travel on one sailing either side of the booked time, no supplement will apply, but you will be charged a modification fee unless you have booked a MyChoice fare, defined below.
MyBasic Fare:
You will be charged a £10.00 modification fee (£5 on Day/24 hour fares) each time you amend the date or time of a journey on your booking.
In addition to the modification fee, you will be charged the difference between the price of your originally booked sailing and the price of the newly selected sailing at the time you make the amendment.
If you cancel the booking, no refund is applicable.
MyChoice Fare:
Amendments may be made without a modification fee. You will simply be charged the difference between the price of your originally booked sailing and the price of the newly selected sailing at the time you make the amendment.
If you cancel the booking more than 24 hours prior to departure you will not be charged a cancellation fee. However, no refunds are applicable when cancelled within 24 hours of departure.
In both cases, amendments to your sailing must be made prior to the originally booked time and date of travel of the sailing concerned by the amendment, otherwise the entire booking is invalid and a 100% cancellation fee will apply.
Force majeure
If the departure of the ferry is prevented by cause which is not attributable to MyFerryLink, e.g. weather conditions, strike, force majeure, the contract of carriage is terminated without indemnity. You will be informed of any change or cancellation as quickly as possible and we will do our utmost to find an alternative solution.
Late arrival at the ferry terminal and delays resulting from the completion of formalities
In general, passengers are required to arrive at check in at the port of embarkation at least 30 minutes before departure. Failure to do so may result in a refusal to authorise embarkation.
MyFerryLink declines all responsibility for any delays resulting from the undertaking of said formalities. We therefore advise you to allow additional time to check in during peak periods.
