can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong

the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some
cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency,
an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or
a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those
circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you
agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that
alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not
be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled
to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable).
If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide
the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder
or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may

any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision
