Telephone Number <<telephone>>

ABTA Number <<abta>>

Villa Select a brand of Canterbury Travel (London)Ltd ATOL Number 0739 to include appointing

NAME OF AGENT: <<agent_name>> as Villa Select, a brand of Canterbury Travel (London) Ltd’s AGENT PURSUANT TO ATOL REGULATIONS 12 AND 22 on:

Date: <<date>>

Definitions

The definitions used in this agreement have the same meaning as those used in the ATOL Regulations 2012 (as amended).

Additionally, ‘Licensable Transaction’ means an offer made by a consumer (or their agent) to purchase flight accommodation for one or more persons on a flight which is accepted by an air travel organiser and constitutes an activity in respect of which that air travel organiser is required to hold an ATOL.

Duration of Agreement

Agency Terms 3, 5, 8, 9 and 13 remain binding on the agent even if the principal ATOL holder has failed.

Extent of obligations

The obligations of all parties to this agreement extend only to the parties’ conduct in respect of licensable transactions.

Priority of Agency terms published by CAA

Pursuant to AST 2.2 and Agency Term 1 no agency term negotiated between the principal ATOL holder and the agent may contradict or purport to contradict the CAA’s mandated terms and any that do so will be void.

Agency Term 1

By making available flight accommodation to consumers in the capacity of an agent, in accordance with ATOL Regulations 9, 10 and 12 the agent is deemed to have agreed to the terms of the written agency agreement between the principal ATOL holder and its agent.

The terms of the agency agreement include terms mandated by the CAA to be agreed between principal ATOL holders and agents for principal ATOL holders making available flight accommodation as agents of that principal ATOL holder. Principal ATOL holders and agents cannot agree, whether in writing, by conduct or otherwise, any terms which contradict, or purport to contradict the terms mandated by the CAA.

The agent must keep a copy of this agency agreement for the period it is in force and for 12 months after it expires or is terminated.

Agency Term 2

2.1 Agents must comply with all the terms of ATOL Standard Term 1 as if they applied directly to the agent (as applicable) and any requirements to set out the principal ATOL holder’s name and number should be read as requirements to set out the agent’s principal’s name and ATOL number.

For the avoidance of doubt, agents are not permitted to use the ATOL logo without the permission of the CAA

2.2 The agent must at all times identify the selling, protecting principal ATOL holder on all publicity material (including websites and brochures) that identify a flight or flight inclusive package which the agent is holding out it can make available to consumers.

2.3 If the agent produces a receipt for money paid by a consumer the agent must identify which part of that money is protected by the principal ATOL holder’s ATOL and which, if any, is not.

Agency Term 3

The agent will, if requested by the CAA, report to the principal ATOL holder the unique reference number of each ATOL Certificate supplied by it, along with the corresponding ATOL holder’s reference number, where it acts as agent for the principal ATOL holder and where the transaction with the consumer was a Flight-Only or a package. If requested to do so by the CAA at any time, and including after the failure of the principal ATOL holder, the agent will provide this information to the CAA.

Agency Term 4

The agent will provide any information requested by the principal ATOL holder necessary to enable the principal ATOL holder to comply with the ATOL Standard Terms or any term of its ATOL.

Agency Term 5

Any payment received by the agent from consumers, for services owed by the principal ATOL holder to the consumer, is received and held by the agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust but subject to the agent’s right and obligation to make payment to the principal ATOL holder for so long as the principal ATOL holder does not fail. If the principal ATOL holder fails the agent confirms it will continue to hold consumer payments on behalf of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust and without any right or obligation to pay the same to the principal ATOL holder.

Agency Term 6

6.1 Where an agent makes available flight and accommodation as the agent of a principal ATOL holder, the agent must ensure an ATOL Certificate is supplied to the consumer immediately and in accordance with ATOL Regulation 17, regardless of whether the ATOL Certificate is produced by the principal ATOL holder or produced by the agent on behalf of the principal ATOL holder. However, if an agent organises a package which includes that flight and accommodation, the agent must immediately supply a package ATOL Certificate to the consumer in the agent’s own name.

6.2 Where an agent makes available a package as agent of a principal ATOL holder, the agent must additionally obtain a Confirmation (see AST1.11) from the ATOL holder and, once obtained, pass it immediately to the consumer by the method set out below.

Where an agent receives any revised Confirmation from the principal ATOL holder, it will immediately pass it to the consumer by the method set out below.

Note : The method for the supply of a Confirmation means:

(a) in the case of a consumer who is present at the time the agent receives the Confirmation, immediately handing it to that consumer or sending it to that consumer by electronic communication;

(b) in the case of a consumer who is not present at the time the agent receives the Confirmation, immediately sending it to that consumer by electronic communication or by post.

Agency Term 7

When accepting payments in respect of transactions the agent would need an ATOL to transact if the agent were not the agent of the principal ATOL holder, agents may only accept payment from consumers as defined in the ATOL Regulations 2012.

Agency Term 8

Immediately upon the failure of the principal ATOL holder, the agent will provide the CAA with information on:

a) money paid to it by consumers, in respect of services to be provided for future travel by the principal ATOL holder to consumers; and,

b) the ATOL Certificate unique reference numbers issued by that agent which apply to that failed ATOL holder, in a form acceptable to the CAA.

Agency Term 9

The rights of the CAA and the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust to enforce any obligations under this agreement on either party are not excluded. For the avoidance of doubt, they may be enforced by the CAA and the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust.

Agency Term 10

The agent may appoint a sub-agent to perform its obligations as the ATOL holder’s agent and to bind the principal ATOL holder into obligations with consumers or buying ATOL holders. However, the agent may only do so if it enters the ATOL holder into a written agency agreement that contains all the rights and obligations in the agreement that are required by the CAA and published in the CAA’s Official Record Series 3. Any sub-agent of the agent that does not have the benefit of a written agency agreement with the ATOL holder is not authorised to act on the ATOL holder’s behalf. As a consequence, the agent will be responsible to the consumer (or buying ATOL holder) for any acts or omissions of the sub‑agent.

Note : In these circumstances, as well as the agent being liable to the consumer as a principal, both the ‘agent’ and ‘sub-agent’ would be acting in breach of the ATOL Regulations 2012.

Agency Term 11

If a new or revised Schedule of Agency Terms is published by the CAA in its Official Record Series 3 those new or revised terms will immediately take effect and must be included in the terms of the agency agreement between the principal ATOL holder and the agent within 3 calendar months of the publication date.

Note: a written agency agreement will be deemed to be compliant with ATOL Regulation 22(1)(c) provided that it contains all relevant parts of the schedule of agency terms published by the CAA in its Official Record Series 3 within 3 calendar months of the publication date.

Agency Term 12

If the principal ATOL holder fails to comply with its obligations to a consumer and by reason thereof the agent incurs a liability or obligation to the consumer, the agent shall be indemnified by the principal ATOL holder against all consequences following from such a failure.

Agency Term 13

If requested by the CAA the agent will provide any information regarding the principal ATOL holder referred to in AST 4 which it holds to the CAA on demand.

SCHEDULE 2
