ARTICLE 2: ADMINISTRATIVE AND HEALTH FORMALITIES

The Client acknowledges having been informed of the administrative and health formalities for crossing borders. It is specified that the information provided is only valid for French nationals.

The completion and costs resulting from the police, customs and health formalities required for the reserved shipment, such as formalities relating to passports, national identity cards, residence permits, parental authorisation, visas, medical certificates and vaccination certificates are in the responsibility of the Customer.

In the event that the Client is unable to travel due to non-compliance with administrative and health formalities, the price paid will not be refunded, nor will the Company be held liable.

ARTICLE 3: PRICE

The Client agrees to comply with the contractually agreed terms of payment.

At the time of booking, the Client shall pay a deposit equal to 40% of the total amount of the booking to guarantee the order. The remainder is automatically debited 30 days before the departure date. In the case of a privatized group, the deposit will be equal to 50% of the total reservation.

In the event of departure not being confirmed by the company, the balance will not be taken and the deposit will be refunded.

In the event that payment of the balance could not be collected by the date agreed between the parties, the Agency will not be obliged to maintain the availability of the trip and the services. These will be considered as cancelled by the Client.

Unless otherwise provided for in the special conditions, the price of the services does not include the cost of visas, vaccinations, service charges, insurance, tourist taxes to be paid on site, supplements, drinks, tips and more generally any services not mentioned in the description of the product contained in the special conditions.

The renunciation by the Client or the participants in the trip of certain services included in the package or paid for as a supplement shall not give rise to reimbursement or to the establishment of a credit note.

ARTICLE 4: REVISION OF THE PRICE

The Company reserves the right to revise the prices of trips and stays in accordance with Article L.211-10 of the French Tourism Code in the event of a variation in the data used to determine the price of the trip.

The cost of transport and in particular the cost of fuel; the amount of fees and taxes relating to the services offered, such as landing, embarkation or disembarkation taxes in ports and airports known on the day the Contract is signed; the exchange rates applied to the shipment concerned.

With regards to the cost of transport, the Agency will, where appropriate, pass on the amount of fuel surcharges communicated by the carrier and charged by the carrier. Carriers may decide to apply consecutive increases. In this case, these increases will be passed on by the Agency.

It is also agreed that the Agency may pass on to the Client any variations in fees and taxes. It is also specified that the Client shall be liable for any new tax(s) or fee(s) relating to the services offered that may be decided by French or foreign laws and regulations.

The price may also be revised in the event of a change in the exchange rate used to calculate the price of the trip or stay ordered by the Client.

However, in accordance with the law in force, the price can only be revised at the latest 20 days before the start of the trip.

Furthermore, in the event of an increase of more than 8% in the price, the Client has the option of refusing the change and terminating the contract. If the Client chooses to cancel the contract, he/she is entitled to a full refund of the sums paid without incurring any penalties or costs.
