The Australian Consumer Law provides Consumers with a number of protections and Consumer Guarantees that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. These Terms, and in particular the fare rules, refund and limitations of liability provisions set out in these Terms, are therefore subject to, and will not apply to the extent that they exclude, restrict or modify such protections and any Consumer Guarantees applicable to Consumers. These Consumer Guarantees provide Consumers with a basic, guaranteed level of protection for services that they acquire from us, including: (i) a guarantee as to due care and skill, (ii) a guarantee as to fitness for a particular purpose; and (iii) a guarantee as to reasonable time for supply. If we fail to live up to any of these Consumer Guarantees for a relevant service we provide, you may be entitled to a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law. If the breach of the Consumer Guarantees cannot be remedied or amounts to major failure, you are entitled to a refund or other remedies under the Australian Consumer Law. You may also be entitled to compensation for reasonably foreseeable losses caused by the failure. A major failure occurs when a reasonable consumer would not have purchased the services had they known about the extent of the failure or where the service is substantially unfit for purpose and cannot be fixed within a reasonable time.

The carriage of any Passenger on our Coaches, and any related goods or services that we may provide to a Passenger in respect of such carriage, are subject to these Terms and Conditions of Carriage (“Terms”) and any other terms set out on the Passenger’s Booking Confirmation. These Terms and any other terms set out on the Passenger’s Booking Confirmation comprise the entire agreement between us and the Passenger and, subject to the Australian Consumer Law, no other Terms and Conditions, where oral or written, will apply. We are not a common carrier and reserve the right to refuse to deal with any person or to carry any Baggage without giving any reason. You agree to observe any written or oral direction that we give to you in respect of your travel on our Coach.
