every effort to ensure the accuracy of the estimate. However, costs and
charges, particular those paid to third parties are liable to alteration
and change.
b. The amount of third party costs and charges may not be known fully in
advance of the repatriation-taking place. However, in these cases we
will provide you with an estimate of these charges on the estimate. The
actual amount of these costs and charges will be provided and available
on the final invoice.

instructions or requests at any time. Extra charges may be incurred in
accordance with our current schedule of charges.

securely, in confidence and processed only for the purpose of
discharging our services.

parties. These 3rd parties, who are acting on your behalf,
may wish to contact you directly.
3.
Agreement of these Terms and Conditions.

instructions and amendments.

all expenses and liabilities that we may incur (directly and indirectly

basis).
