These details are not exhaustive and do not replace the Suppliers' Rules and Restrictions. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the General Terms and Conditions and the Rules and Restrictions, the Rules and Restrictions will prevail. The Rules and Restrictions of Suppliers are made available prior to making a booking.
Except in the case of regulatory requirements to the contrary, these details do not give rise to any obligation or liability on the part of Nest.ai, Inc.
3.1. Air Transport Services
Air transport services may be offered separately or as part of a package and are subject to the Rules and Restrictions (including conditions of carriage, fare rules and restrictions) of the Supplier. The Rules and Restrictions may include restrictions on and/or charges for cancellation and changes. The Rules and Restrictions of Suppliers of air transport services are made available prior to making a booking and the specific terms of the relevant Supplier can be re-viewed here.
Any money paid to an authorised agent (for the purpose of the Air Travel Organisers Licensing Regulations 2012) of Nest.ai in respect of a Flight or a Nest.ai flight-inclusive Package trip is held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent's obligation to pay it to Nest.ai for so long as Nest.ai do not fail financially. If Nest.ai do fail financially, any money held at that time by the agent or subsequently accepted from the Customer by the agent, is and continues to be held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to Nest.ai.
If Nest.ai receives payment from the Customer for a booking of air transport services, Nest.ai acts as agent of the Supplier of the relevant air transport services. This means the Customer’s contract for the air transport services is between the customer and the Supplier of the relevant air transport services. The Rules and Restrictions of Suppliers of air transport services can be re-viewed here.
3.1.1. Air transport terms and conditions
The Customer is responsible for complying with the instructions of the airline and/or tour operator, in particular with respect to flight check-in times. In particular, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
Nest.ai, has no control over the allocation of seats on any air transport, even if pre-booked with the airline, and does not guarantee that specific seats will be available on departure.
Nest.ai, has no control over any indications of the hours spent flying which are provided by the Supplier of the relevant air transport and are given for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. It is the Customer's responsibility to confirm his / her return flight in accordance with the requirements of the Supplier of the relevant air transport. If Customer books a return journey and does not use the outward flight, the airline may cancel the return flight without refund. This also applies if the return flight is not taken and insofar as the travel is not taken at all. The Customer must use flight coupons in sequence.
In the case of special or charter flights, the name of the airline, the flight schedule, the aircraft type, the itinerary and possible intermediate stops are only given as an indication of the outward and return flights in the trip. In accordance with a Supplier's Rules and Restrictions, these flights, aircraft types and flight numbers can be subject to change, and can be moved by up to 24 hours, even after confirmation.
Additional charges may be imposed by some airlines for meals, luggage, preferred seat selection, etc. Nest.ai is not responsible for such charges and information on charges shown on the Website are for information only and may be amended by airlines at any time.
The Customer must comply with all air transport Supplier's Rules and Restrictions on the carriage of pregnant women.
The Customer must comply with the air transport Supplier's Rules and Restrictions on the carriage of children and in particular that children older than 2 years on the return date must have a return ticket at a child fare for both the outbound and inbound flights. Customers who do not comply with this will not be eligible for a refund of any seat charges incurred during travel. Children under 2 years will be allocated their own seat in the aircraft, unless a child fare has been booked for them. Unaccompanied children under 14 will only be carried in accordance with the air transport Supplier's Rules and Restrictions.
3.1.2 Combined one-way tickets.
Nest.ai, Inc. may offer Customers the opportunity to book a combination of two one-way tickets instead of a roundtrip ticket. Combined one-way tickets may provide a greater choice of flights, are often cheaper and can be combined on the same airline or on different airlines.
Unlike roundtrip tickets, each one-way ticket is subject to its own rules, restrictions, and fees. If one of these flights is affected by an airline change (e.g. cancellation or rescheduling) that causes a Customer to make changes to the other flight, the Customer will be responsible for any fees incurred for making changes to the unaffected flight.
3.1.3. Administrative and / or health regulations
International Travel: you are responsible for ensuring that you meet foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order and any other foreign entry requirements are met. Nest.ai has no special knowledge regarding foreign entry requirements or travel documents. We urge customers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the relevant governments prior to booking travel to international destinations.
Health: Recommended inoculations for travel may change and you should consult your doctor for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip. Online medical advice for travellers can be found at the Department of Health's website currently located at http://www.doh.gov.uk. Otherwise, for medical advice regarding your journey, please contact your doctor.
A valid 10-year passport is necessary for all international trips offered on the Website. Some overseas countries have an immigration requirement that a Customer's passport is valid for a minimum period after the Customer enters that country, typically 6 months. If a Customer's passport is in its final year of validity, the Customer is advised to confirm the requirements of the destination before making final travel plans. The name on the passport must match the name on the ticket, otherwise the Customer may not be able to travel and insurance may be invalid. If, after booking a trip but before travelling, any member of the Customer's party changes their name, e.g. as a result of getting married, Customer must notify Customer Services by email to letsgo@nestapart.com
Please note: It can often take some time to obtain a visa, so Customers are advised to apply in plenty of time. Requirements may change and you should check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. We accept no liability if you are refused entry onto a flight or into any country due to your failure to carry the correct and adequate passport, visa, or other travel documents required by any airline, authority, or country, including countries you may just be transiting through. This includes all stops made by the aircraft, even if you do not leave the aircraft or airport.
Although most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Nest.ai, Inc. urges passengers to review any travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by The Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice Unit prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found from the following sources: (a) http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travelling-and-living-overseas/ (b) Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice Service on 0845 850 2829 (24hrs, 7 days a week) (BT - 4p per min.

Please allow sufficient time when making an ESTA application. It is recommended that such an application is made at least 72 hours before departure. For further information please visit the US Department of Homeland Security's website at https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov
A number of governments are introducing new requirements for air carriers to provide personal information about all travellers on their aircraft. The data will be collected either at the airport when a Customer checks in or in some circumstances when the Customer makes his/her booking. Accordingly, the Customer is advised to allow extra time to check in for his/her flight.
3.1.5. Liability
The Customer is reminded that an airlines' liability for death, personal injury and other damages is normally limited by national law, by an international air transport treaty, or by the airline's own Rules and Restrictions including their conditions of carriage.
3.1.6. Electronic ticket
An electronic ticket is a ticket with no physical form. When using this type of ticket, the Customer must go to the check-in desk of the airline concerned and show a valid travel document (passport, visa, identity card, etc.) in order to obtain his / her boarding card. The Customer must strictly observe the times for checking in.
3.1.7. No replacement passengers
Replacement passengers for flights may not be put forward.
3.1.8. Operating airlines
Customers are advised that in some cases flights booked with one airline may be operated by another airline – details of the operating airline, where different, are indicated on the Website. The operating airline will charge the Customer for the flight and will appear as the merchant on the Customer's credit card or bank statement. Payment may also be charged by other Suppliers for the Services booked however the total amount charged will not exceed the total price of the Services.
3.1.9. Denied Boarding Compensation
If an airline cancels or delays a flight, is unable to provide previously confirmed space, fails to stop at a Customer's stop-over or destination point, or causes a Customer to miss a connecting flight on which a Customer holds a reservation, the Customer may be entitled to certain remedies from the airline.
3.2. Accommodation Services
Accommodation may be offered separately or as part of a package trip or Flight. The Services are subject to the Rules and Restrictions of the Suppliers offering the accommodation which will be made available before booking. The Rules and Restrictions may include restrictions on and/or charges for cancellation and/or changes imposed by the Suppliers.
Subject to section 3.2.6 and 3.2.7., hotel or apartment bookings and Nest.ai apartment bookings will require that a Customer's credit card is charged for the full payment upon reservation. Prices shown on the Website do not include any fees or charges for optional supplements, including minibar snacks or telephone calls.
If a Customer does not show for the first night of the reservation and plans to check-in for subsequent nights in the reservation, the Customer must confirm the reservation changes with Nest.ai no later than the original date of check-in to prevent cancellation of the whole reservation. If the Customer does not confirm the reservation changes with Nest.ai the whole reservation may be cancelled and refunds will only be due to the Customer in line with the Rules and Restrictions of the applicable Supplier as notified in the booking process.
Any Customer who does not cancel or change their reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to Nest.ai in the reservation details prior to the date of arrival will be subject to the charges shown in the Rules and Restrictions for the hotel or apartment reservation. Customers should note that some hotel or apartments do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made and these restrictions are shown in the Rules and Restrictions for the hotel or apartment reservation.
3.2.1. Use of rooms
The Customer is reminded that, in general, rooms are only available from 15:00 and have to be vacated by 11:00, irrespective of the time of arrival or departure or the means of transport used.
3.2.2. Classification
The indication of the comfort level given to hotel or apartments in the descriptions on the Website corresponds to a classification based on local standards in that country, which can differ from standards in the United States or United Kingdom. This classification is provided only as an indication. Customers should be aware that standards can vary between hotel or apartments of the same class in different countries, and even in the same country. It is important to read carefully the individual hotel or apartment descriptions. Accommodation in all hotel or apartments, whatever the rating, is in standard rooms unless otherwise stated.
It is possible that, from time to time, for technical reasons (for example a hotel or apartment is overbooked due to connectivity issues with the hotel or apartment) for reasons of force majeure (for example hotel or apartment is closed due to a hurricane) or because of the actions of a third party (for example the room booked is unavailable due to hotel or apartment maintenance issues), a hotel or apartment booking is cancelled or amended. Should such events occur, Nest.ai will make all reasonable efforts to notify the Customer of this as soon as possible and where possible will offer alternative accommodation in a hotel or apartment in at least the same star classification with similar services. If this offer is not taken by the Customer, Nest.ai will ensure that all monies paid in respect of the hotel or apartment booking are refunded. If appropriate, for example where a technical issue on the part of Nest.ai has caused a booking to be cancelled or amended and such cancellation or amendment directly causes loss to the Customer, Nest.ai will also pay reasonable compensation to the Customer.
3.2.3. Activities
It is possible that, from time to time particular activities offered by the Suppliers that are shown in the description of the accommodation on the Website are cancelled, for example as a result of weather conditions or force majeure, during out-of-season stays, or if the required number of participants for the activity is not achieved.
3.2.4. Meals
If meals are part of an accommodation package, the number of meals depends on the number of overnight stays. Full board normally includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Half board normally includes breakfast and either lunch or dinner, depending on the package. Accommodation which includes main meals generally commence with dinner on the day of arrival at the hotel or apartment and terminate with breakfast (on half board) or lunch (on full board) on the day of departure. If one or more meals cannot be taken, no refunds will be made.
The Customer is reminded that, unless specified otherwise on the Website, drinks are not included with meals. If drinking water is not available, the Customer will bear the cost of buying it himself / herself.
Parents are advised to bring special food for their baby with them, as this is not always available locally.
3.2.5. Taxes
The local authorities in certain countries may impose additional taxes (tourist tax, etc), which have to be paid locally. The Customer is exclusively responsible for paying such additional taxes. The amount of taxes can change between booking and stay dates. In the event that taxes have increased as at your stay date, you will be liable to pay taxes at the new higher rate.
3.3. Car hire
Car hire services are offered separately or as part of a package trip or Flight (see 3.1.11 above). These Services are subject to the Rules and Restrictions of the car rental companies.
For reservations of "Supplier Special Rate" offerings, the Supplier will provide the use of the car directly to Customers and Nest.ai acts merely as an intermediary in the transaction. Nest.ai, acting on behalf of the Supplier will collect the price of the car hire from Customers. However the amount payable by Customers may not be the full contractual price for this rental; Nest.ai may in its discretion make a contribution on behalf of a Customer to the rates payable for booking car hire. In these cases the rates displayed on the Website reflect the total price less any contribution by Nest.ai and show the amount payable by Customers. In the event of any permitted refund, Customers shall not be entitled to a refund of more than the amount actually paid by them.
3.3.1. Method of payment
The Customer making the booking must present a credit card when collecting the vehicle. Debit cards are not accepted and the Customer must check which credit cards are accepted by the Supplier.
The Supplier may submit an authorisation request to the credit card company during the period of car hire by way of a deposit. The Customer must therefore contact his / her credit card company to ensure the payment card limit is suitable for this purpose.
If the Customer does not comply with the terms set out above, the Supplier will not make the vehicle available and the full price of car hire will be charged.
3.3.2. Supplements
Additional charges may be payable locally such as refuelling, additional driver charges, young driver surcharge and delivery and collection fees. The Customer acknowledges that in no event shall Nest.ai, Inc. and/or Suppliers including Nest.ai Travel be liable for such additional charges as detailed or otherwise.
An excess amount may be applicable in the event of theft or damage to the hire car. This will vary depending on the Supplier and country of rental. Purchase of an optional insurance locally (called super CDW or super TP) will remove/reduce the excess applicable. The Customer acknowledges that in no event shall Nest.ai, Inc. and/or Suppliers including Nest.ai Travel be liable for such excess or provision of additional insurance as detailed or otherwise.
Petrol is not usually included in the hire tariff. For the hire of vehicles in certain countries, such as the United States of America, certain Suppliers automatically add charges for filling the fuel tank when the vehicle is returned. In addition, certain Suppliers charge a supplement if snow tyres are used.
Unless agreed otherwise, the Customer must return the vehicle to the branch of the Supplier from which it was collected. If the Customer does not comply with this, the Suppliers may charge a one-way supplement.
Child seats are available on request and are payable locally.
3.3.3. Collection/use of the vehicle
Drivers must usually be aged between 21 and 65 although this can vary between Suppliers and from country to country. It is the Customer's responsibility to check this with the Supplier. Additional charges may also apply if any driver is aged below 30.
All drivers must produce a full valid driving licence for the category of vehicle rented when taking delivery of the hire car. The driving licence must be held for at least one year (although again this may vary between Suppliers as well as from country to country) and an international driving licence may be required. Customers should check the Rules and Restrictions of the Supplier offering the car-hire for details of all applicable criteria for booking car-hire.
The Customer is reminded that some Suppliers do not permit the rented vehicle to be used outside the country in which it has been rented.
No refunds shall be given in relation to non-utilised rental days.
3.4. Destination Services
Destination Services may be offered separately or as part of a package trip. These Services are subject to the Rules and Restrictions of the Suppliers offering the local activities and are not usually transferable, nor eligible for refunds or changes (unless cancelled by the Supplier).
3.4.1. Activities
It is possible that, occasionally, Services offered by the Suppliers that are shown in the description on the Website are cancelled for reasons such as weather conditions, force majeure, out-of-season stays, or if the required number of participants for the activity is not achieved. Customers are referred to the applicable Supplier's Rules and Restrictions in relation to refunds in such circumstances.
3.5. Package trips
Package trips are provided by Suppliers such as Nest.ai Travel and are subject to the Rules and Restrictions of the providers of the trips. Customers must read these Rules and Restrictions before booking.
A package trip is a trip, for a single price, with a stay of longer than 24 hours (or including an overnight stay), in which at least two of the following three elements are offered.
- transport; - accommodation; - a tourist service that does not form part of the transport or accommodation, but is a significant part of the total price. The sale of package trips is governed by the Package Travel, Package trips and Package Tours Regulations 1992. These provisions are supplemented by the following conditions.
3.5.1. Reservations
Acceptance by the Supplier of reservations made by the Customer will depend on availability of the package trips. Suppliers do not have to give reasons for refusing to accept a reservation.
Acceptance by the Supplier is formalised by sending a confirmation of reservation by e-mail within ten days of a booking being placed by the Customer. No amount will be charged to the Customer until the time of confirmation by the Supplier(s) of the availability of the service.
3.5.2. Prices
The trip descriptions on the Website specify the Services included in the price for each trip. Prices are shown in GBP.
The Customer should be aware that the local authorities in certain countries can impose additional taxes (tourist tax, etc), which have to be paid locally. The Customer is exclusively responsible for paying such additional taxes.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, prices do not include insurance, airline services, excess baggage charges, transport from the airport to the accommodation, visa and vaccination charges or any personal expenses (laundry, telephone, drinks, room service, tips, etc.), nor excursions or the use of sports facilities, nor any more general costs that are not expressly included in the confirmation of reservation.
The prices shown on the Website and Nest.ai Mobile Application can be changed at any time without prior notice. Such changes do not apply to reservations already accepted, unless the changes were made more than 30 days before the intended departure date as a result of fluctuations in transportation costs, fuel costs, dues, taxes, fees such as landing taxes or embarkation/disembarkation fees at ports/airports and exchange rates. Supplier will absorb - and the Customer will not be charged for - any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of the total travel arrangements, excluding insurance premiums. The Customer will be charged for the amount over and above this. If this means the Customer has to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of the total travel arrangements, the Customer will have the option of accepting an alternative trip if Supplier is able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality the Customer will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality the difference in price will be refunded), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of monies paid.
If Nest.ai, Inc. and/or Supplier becomes aware of or is notified of any fraud or illegal activity associated with the payment for the booking, the booking will be cancelled and the Customer shall be liable for all the expenses arising from such cancellation, without prejudice to any action that might be taken against him / her.
3.5.3. Cancellation and change by the Customer
3.5.3.1 Cancellation
Requests by the Customer for cancelling or changing a trip must be submitted online at www.nest.ai or by sending an email to letsgo@nestapart.com. Such requests will be dealt with on behalf of the Suppliers concerned.
In the event of cancellation of the package trip booking by the Customer, Nest.ai, Inc. and Supplier can require compensation to cover the costs of the travel arrangements already made. In addition to this, a standard cancellation charge may be made by the Suppliers of each element of the package trip in respect of each cancellation. Where a cancellation affects more than one person on the booking a cancellation charge will be applied in respect of each person on the booking. In some cases compensation can amount to the full value of travel booked, so that no reimbursement to the Customer is made. Partial cancellation, i.e. cancellation of a particular arrangement, may not be possible.
If the Customer does not present himself / herself at the departure of the trip and/or fails to use some or all of the Services booked, refunds will only be awarded to the Customer in line with the Rules and Restrictions of the applicable Suppliers as notified in the booking process. The Rules and Restrictions of Suppliers of air transport services are made available prior to making a booking and can be re-viewed here. Specific Accommodation Supplier Rules and Restrictions are provided prior to making a booking.
3.5.3.2 Effects of Cancellation
Please note that packages are subject to the Rules and Restrictions of the Supplier and separate cancellation charges imposed by the Supplier may apply.
3.5.3.3 Change of booking
If after making the booking a Customer wants to change the trip with respect to the date of travel, the destination, the place where the trip starts, the accommodation or the means of transport, the Customer should email letsgo@nestapart.com. Changes to a booking will normally involve cancelling the original booking which may incur compensation and/or charges imposed by the Suppliers up to the full value of travel booked and Customers will need to pay for the cost of a new booking.
3.5.3.4 Replacement of Participant
A registered participant in a trip can be replaced by a third party if Nest.ai is informed of this at least 15 days before the start of a trip. However, Nest.ai can object to the change of traveller if the traveller does not comply with the Supplier's Rules and Restrictions or their participation is in conflict with legal regulations. If a replacement person enters into the contract, then the Customer, together with that replacement person, are jointly and severally responsible for the cost of the trip and any additional costs (including administration fee) arising from the inclusion of the third party and including any cost to Nest.ai for making the change.
3.5.4 Cancellation and change by Nest.ai Travel
3.5.4.1 General
Nest.ai Travel will inform Customers immediately of changes or differences to their travel arrangements. Changes or differences to the travel contract that become necessary after the contract has been concluded and are not brought about by Nest.ai Travel in bad faith are permitted insofar as the changes or differences are not significant and they do not affect the overall character of the trip booked. Flight time information cannot be considered binding. The same rights apply to the altered arrangements as applied in respect of the original arrangements.
3.5.4.2 Price Changes
If the time between booking and the agreed date of travel is greater than 30 days, Nest.ai Travel retains the right to change the prices agreed at the time of booking to reflect increases or decreases in transport costs (including fuel costs); payments for dues, taxes, fees such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports/airports; and change to the applicable exchange rates if the increase or decrease per person or per seat has an effect on the cost of the trip. Nest.ai Travel will absorb - and Customers will not be charged for - any increase of up to 2% of the price of the total travel arrangements, excluding insurance premiums and any amendment charges. Customers will be charged for the amount over and above this. If this means the Customer has to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of the travel arrangements, the Customer will have the option of accepting an alternative trip if Nest.ai Travel are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or superior quality the Customer will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality the difference in price will be refunded), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of monies paid. Should the price of the trip decrease by more than 2% of the trip cost due to the changes mentioned above the Customer will receive any refund due.
There will be no price changes within 30 days of the date of travel.
