| 1.21 | The Supplier shall use reasonable endeavours to observe all relevant health and safety rules and regulations and any other reasonable security requirements that apply and the Customer agrees to cooperate with the Supplier in effecting its reasonable health and safety and duty of care requirements.

results in a cheaper Travel the Supplier shall pay the difference to the
Customer. |

will be payable. |
