Cancellation policy for multiple day package

Modification or cancellation of the package travel before the departure

Before the departure the organizer or the seller which, for reasons imputable or linked to himself, needs to modify in any meaningful way one or more elements of the agreement, immediately informs the user in a written form, expressing the modification and the following change of price.
Where the user does not accept the modification proposal, he/she may exercise alternatively the right to reacquire the amount of money already paid or to benefit a new package travel.
The user may exercise the rights mentioned above when the cancellation depends on the failure to achieve the minimum number of participants expected by the catalogue or by the program out of print.
It is intended between the parties that the right to refund incurres as the result of non-acceptance of substantial modifications determined by events due or linked to the t.o.; therefore is excluded the right to the whole restitution of the amount paid by the user where the modification is the result of unforeseeable circumstances and the t.o. has paid or must pay to third provider of services amount of money.
It is intended that the right of compensation for damage is not applied when the user has been informed about the cancellation at least 20 days before the date of departure in written form.

Consumer’s withdrawal

The consumer can withdraw the contract without penalty payment, in the following cases:

•  increase of the price over 10%;
•  meaningful modification – necessary for facts due and/or linked to the organization, except for unforeseeable circumstances – of one or more elements of the agreement objectively configurable as fundamental for the fruition of the package travel wholly considered and suggested by the organization after the conclusion of the same agreement, but before the departure and not accepted by the consumer.

For the above cases the consumer can alternatively:

• Benefit an alternative package travel, without any extra cost or with the restitution of exceeding money, if the second package has an inferior value;
• Have the restitution of the price already corresponded. The refund must be operated within seven working days from the receipt of the request. The consumer must inform about his decision (to accept the modification or to withdraw) within and not later than two working days from the notification of the increase or modification. For lack of explicit communication within this time limit, the proposal made by the organizer is considered accepted.

In case of consumer’s withdrawal, out of any hypothesis contemplated above, it will be charged the individual cost of the operation, the payment of insurance already requested by the time of the contract’s conclusion, or other services already provided, and the penalty like below:

• 30% of the package price until 30 days before departure;
• 50% of the package until 10 days before departure;
• 75% of the package until 5 days before departure;
• 100% of the package until 3 days before departure and no show.

No restitution if the customer withdraws 3 days before the departure, in case of no show or for the interruption of the stay.
It remains valid the right of the company to be refunded for any possible damages caused by the customer.

Changes after departure

The organizer, if after the departure cannot provide for any reasons, – except for cases whose impediment depends on reasons coming from the consumer or for unforeseeable circumstances – an essential part of the services mentioned in the contract, should draft alternative solutions, without any extra cost for the customer and if the services provided have a lower value than the expected ones, refunding the difference.
If no alternative solution is possible, or the solution offered by the organizer is rejected by the consumer for justified reasons, the organizer will provide, at no extra cost, means of transport equivalent to the original one to return to the place of departure or to a different place eventually agreed, compatibly with the availability of vehicles and places, and will reimburse the difference between the cost of the services originally contracted and that of the services performed up to the time of early return.

Sostitutions

The consumer can be substituted by other person in the following cases:

1. The organizer is informed in written form 4 working days before the date of departure, receiving simultaneously the communication about the reasons of the substitution and the transferee’s generalities;
2. The transferee satisfies all the conditions to benefit the service (ex art. 89 cod. Cons.), and specifically the requirements concerning passport, visa, health certificates;
3. The same services or different others can be provided as a result of the substitution;
4. The substitute refunds the organization of all the additional cost to proceed with the substitution.

The donor and the transferee are responsible for the payment of the price as well as the amounts referred in the letter d) of this article.
