7. ALTERATIONS TO YOUR HOLIDAY BY USWe hope that we will not have to make any change to your holiday but, because our holidays are planned many months in advance, we sometimes do need to make minor changes. We reserve the right to do this at any time. We will let you or your booking agent know about any important changes as soon as possible, including the minimum number of passengers required on the trip. If after booking, and before departure, we make a major change to your holiday, you will have the option of withdrawing from the holiday without penalty or transferring to another holiday without any charge. In either case, we will pay you compensation, according to the scale set below. A major change includes the time of your departure or return time by more than 12 hours, a change in departure point, location of resort or type of hotel, a changeincrosschanneltravel,orspecificationofthecoach.Ifwetellyouaboutanyofthesechangesafterwehaveconfirmedyourholidaybooking (other than force majeure), you may either: •acceptthenewarrangementsofferedbyus;or•accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or similar standardandprice(atthedateofthechange),ifwecanofferyouone; or
