TERMS AND CONDITIONS

APPLICATION

All quotations or estimates provided by or bookings made with and/or all services rendered by or on behalf of Denis Stupan,  (“the Company”), are subject to these terms and conditions (“the Conditions”). This applies to bookings made on the Company’s website as well as bookings made by email.

THE CLIENT AND AUTHORITY

A natural or juristic person requesting quotations („the Quotation”) or estimates or making bookings („the Booking“) or to whom any service is rendered, is deemed to have read and accepted the Conditions and deemed to have the authority to do so on behalf of the natural or juristic person in whose name the estimate or quotation or booking is requested and/or provided and/or the natural or juristic person to whom the service is rendered (collectively referred to as ‘the Client’).

THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

The Company provides Clients with charter services either itself or acting as agent for principals engaged in or associated with the tourism industry. The Company represents such principals as agent only and accordingly accepts no liability for any loss, damage, injury or death which any Client may suffer as a result of any alteration, act or omission on the part of or the failure of such principals to fulfil their obligations, whether in relation to travel arrangements, accommodation or otherwise. The contract in use by such principals (which is often constituted by the ticket issued by the principal), shall constitute the sole contract between the principal and the Client and any right of recourse the Client may have, will be solely against such principal.

BOOKING AND ENQUIRY

Charters and transfers can only be booked in writing by e-mail confirmation. By confirming, the Client is deemed to have read and accepted these terms and conditions as a binding contract.

When making Bookings the Client must provide the Company names and surnames corresponding with ID documents, and all other documents and information necessary to perform the service.

For transfers and private journeys which have been designed to the Client’s own specifications, and for which estimated prices are not advertised on the Company’s website, the Client will be required to request a Quotation by email (“the Enquiry“).

PAYMENT TERMS

In order to confirm and secure the booking, payments must be made by the Client as follows:

• 50% deposit is requested to confirm booking (the amount must reflect on the Company’s bank account);
• the balance owing of the total price on the booking 30 days prior to charter service date;
• 100 % payment if booking is being made within 30 days or less prior to charter service date.

Amendments to payment terms must be in writing and are only applicable if confirmed by the Company by email.

No booking of any trip is confirmed unless payment is received in full. If the Client delays deposit or balance payment, the Client runs the risk of losing the availability of the jorney. The Company expressly reserves the right to cancel any reservation where payment has not been made on the due date, without prejudice to claim compensation for all possible damages and/or losses suffered due to the Client’s breach and the Client hereby expressly accepts such rights.

CANCELLATION PROCEDURE

Cancellation of any booking must be received in writing and be acknowledged by the Company. Any cancellation fees and expenses occurred will be deducted before refunding the Client the remaining monies received.

If the Client fails to join a tour or joins it after departure, or leaves it prior to its completion, no reimbursement will be made.

The cancellation fees applicable are as follows:

30%: less than 30 days prior to service or transfer date;

The Company reserves the right to claim administrative, cancellation and bank charges levied by any supplier against it in respect of the cancellation of the booking by the Client.

If the Client fails to allow the start of the journey at the scheduled time and place or is unable to do so for any reason whatsoever, including the lack of valid travel documents (passport, visa, etc.), he/she shall not be eligible for any refunds.
