Payments

The company must receive payment for all confirmation bills no later than four weeks before departure.

Amendments and cancellation

You must pay a 50% amendment fee per booking if the company is successful in implementing your requested amendment. There won’t be any fees if the Company doesn’t succeed.

Cancellation by the company

The company will treat your booking as canceled and impose the above-described cancellation fee if you don’t pay the remaining balance of the holiday price at least eight weeks (fifty-six days) before departure. If the company must cancel your vacation for any other reason prior to your departure, it will make every effort to offer you alternate arrangements at no additional cost or a replacement package of lower quality.

You may then seek reimbursement from the company for the price difference or request that all money you paid be returned to you as soon as possible. Additionally, the company will compensate you as described in the paragraph unless the cancellation was due to force majeure.
