- (a) the fault of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or
- (b) the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday which we could not have predicted or avoided or
- (c) an event or circumstances which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care (see Force Majeure).
