1. SCOPE OF SERVICES

1. Mediation in providing tourist services

  1. When providing services for booking flights and hotels, insurance and car rental services offered at the Portal (collectively referred to as “Travel Services”), we act exclusively as an intermediary. Therefore, our role and obligations are limited to mediation in connection with Travel services that will be provided by third parties, such as airlines, tour operators, hotels, insurance companies, car rental companies and other service providers (hereinafter referred to as “Service Provider” in each case).
  2. Consequently, an agreement for actual provision of Travel Services (for example, a contract of carriage, an insurance contract, a rental contract) shall enter into force directly between you and the relevant Service Provider. We are not a joint provider of Travel Services and are not a party to contractual relationship between you and the Service Provider.
  3. Using the Portal for purchase of Travel Services, you authorize us to negotiate with the appropriate Service Provider on your behalf, including the payment for these Travel Services, in order to ensure completion of a deal between you and the Service Provider. The price of actual Travel Services may include a fee for services provided by us as an intermediary when concluding an agreement between you and the relevant Service Provider.
  4. Responsibility for the actual provision of Travel Services purchased through Our mediation through the Portal is solely on a respective Service Provider. Acting as an intermediary, we do not accept any responsibility for the Travel services provided by the Service Providers, and do not make any representations or warranties (express or implied) regarding the suitability or quality of Travel services purchased through the mediation on the Portal. Any claims that you may have in connection with the provision or non-provision of Travel Services should be addressed to the Service Provider.
  5. If you have the opportunity to express special requests (for example, on provision of special meals, facilities for the disabled or places for children) when booking Travel Services, we will transfer your request to an appropriate Service Provider. However, we cannot be held responsible for whether the Service Provider is able to actually fulfill such wishes.

2. Our own services

In addition to mediation in acquisition of Travel Services, as
described in paragraph 1.1 above, the Portal also provides additional services
(not being Travel Services), the for which we take responsibility. To make use
of such additional services, you enter into contractual relations directly with
us. In each case, we definitely inform you about the scope of our services and
that we offer our own services, rather than just mediate in buying third-party
services. The content of our own services may change over time. When providing
additional services not stipulated in these Terms and Conditions, a detailed
description of such additional services, as well as information about our
prices and additional conditions for booking and use, are provided to you
during the booking process.

3. Valid contractual conditions

  1. These Terms and Conditions regulate the mediation of acquisition of Travel Services under clause 1.1, as well as the provision of our own services under clause 1.2.
  2. The agreement between you and a relevant Service Provider (clause 1.1.2) is regulated by the general conditions of a relevant Service Provider (conditions of carriage, transfer, insurance, etc.) issued by Service Provider. Such general conditions of a respective Service Provider will be communicated to you during the booking process. Since the conditions of Service Provider may include provisions on liability, cancellation, change of reservation and refund (if possible) and other restrictions, we recommend that you carefully read these conditions.

2. BOOKING PROCESS AND CONTACT INFORMATION

  1. During the booking process, you shall be provided with the necessary technical tools to detect errors in the information entry forms and a possibility of correcting them before sending your booking request. We recommend that you check all the information before submitting your booking. Requests for subsequent changes can be associated with significant additional costs.
  2. We may need to contact you, for example, in the event of a subsequent change in the acquired Travel Services. You must provide your exact contact information – phone number and email address. You should also constantly monitor receipt of our messages. You are also required to ensure that you receive our messages. We are not responsible if you do not receive messages from us for reasons that are beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) you have given us an incorrect email address; (ii) your email settings do not allow our messages to reach you; or (iii) your email settings classify our messages as spam.

3. MEDIATION IN FLIGHTS BOOKING

1. Conclusion of contract and revision of price

  1. After you send your booking request, we will confirm receipt of your request by e-mail. At this very moment an agreement for provision of intermediary services arises between you and us. If you do not receive such a confirmation within one hour from the moment you submitted your booking request and our operator does not contact you by e-mail or phone to report a problem, please phone to us to clarify the situation.
  2. As soon as the ordered tickets are drawn up, you will receive a confirmation email with ticket number. At this moment, a binding contract is concluded between you and a relevant airline (airlines).
  3. Ticket prices and availability are indicated directly by a respective airline. If the price of an airline changes for reasons beyond our control, after submitting a booking request, but before the effective date of the agreement with airline (as provided for in paragraph 3.1.2 above), the agreement will not enter into force and your payment will be returned to you in full. We can contact you and suggest that you accept the changed price during normal business hours, but no later than 24 hours after we become aware of the price change, or on the first weekday after these 24 hours.

2. Information of booking and transportation conditions

  1. In relation to flights offered at the Portal, we act solely as an intermediary. The contract of carriage shall be entered directly between you and respective airline, and we do not accept any contractual responsibility for whether or not your flight will be performed. Responsibility for performance/non-performance of your flight is solely on the airline operator.
  2. Before you make a booking, you will be presented the terms of the respective airline(s).
  3. Acting as an intermediary in acquisition of the Travel services provided by airlines, we do not guarantee provision of access to booking systems of these airlines. If necessary, we can act on your behalf in accordance with the agreement concluded between you and the airline. We may also ask you to contact the appropriate airline directly to receive information about the reservation, as well as to change or cancel your reservation.
  4. Below, in the form of a general overview, we provide information on the conditions of booking and transportation, usually applied by airlines in this or at least similar way. Nevertheless, any differing provisions of a respective airline take precedence over the general information given in this clause 3.2.4. Therefore, in each case, you should pay attention to the current conditions of the respective airline before booking.
    • Departure/check-in time
      Departure time is always indicated in local time. Arrivals on the next day are indicated in the schedule. The indicated departure time is preliminary and can be changed with notice shortly after issuing a ticket, for example, due to restrictions established by dispatch service, weather conditions or functional restrictions of the airline. You should know in advance the current departure time of your flight.
      You should also be on time for check-in the time of which is indicated by airline. Airlines have the right to refuse boarding in case of coming late to check-in. Please note: some airlines offer online check-in on their websites and charge a manual check-in fee at the airport
    • Combining separate tickets
      Combining two separate one-way tickets instead of buying one round-trip ticket is clearly indicated in the booking procedure. In case of cancellation, change or violation of air traffic, for example, as a result of strikes, and a change in the schedule, tickets are regarded independently of each other. The rules of each airline apply.
      Flights with different booking numbers are always considered as independent trips.
    • Air tickets with several segments / rules of use
      Your one-way or return ticket may consist of several segments. Under the terms of most airlines, such flight segments are used in a certain sequence. Otherwise, many airlines refuse to carry on subsequent segments of a flight (i.e. failure to use one segment of a trip may result in invalidity of the rest of a ticket). If a round-trip ticket is bought, failure to appear to flight to the destination may result in canceling a return flight ticket by airline.
    • Pregnancy
      Some airlines refuse to transport women with a period of pregnancy of more than 28 weeks at the time of a flight to or from their destination. If you are pregnant, you need to check with the airline and your doctor if you can go on a trip.
    • Children tickets
      Check with your airline for travel conditions with a child who does not have a separate seat. Typically, children 2 years of age and older require a separate seat, and children aged 0 to 2 years travel in the arms of an adult without a separate seat. If the child is 2 years old before the end of the trip, it is necessary to book a children’s ticket with a separate seat for the whole trip. Tickets for children under two years of age cannot be booked until the moment of birth, since the name and date of birth must exactly match the ones indicated in the passport. We do not reimburse expenses incurred if a ticket of the wrong type was originally booked.
    • Unaccompanied minors
      We do not provide mediation services when booking tickets for unaccompanied minors. Tickets for children under 18 years of age must be booked with an adult. Some countries and airlines refuse to accept children under 18 years of age who are not accompanied by a tutor-at-law. Please note that some airlines require that children under the age of 18 have a birth certificate with them.
    • Lost / damaged luggage
      Acting as an intermediary, we do not bear any responsibility for lost or damaged luggage. Any problems should be reported immediately to the airline representative at the airport.
    • Transit and overnight accommodation
      Ground transportation and/or overnight accommodation at the hotel during your trip is usually not included in the ticket price. You need to independently monitor the schedule of ground transport and prices.
    • Flight connecting time
      Standard tickets booked on the Portal have an approved connecting time. The time sufficient for a transfer from one flight to another is calculated by the airlines. If one segment of a flight is delayed, which leads to delay on a connecting flight, airline must help you get to your final destination (see 11.1).
      When booking individual tickets, airline does not bear any responsibility for delays that have led to delays in connecting flights. Therefore, you must independently verify that the connection time is sufficient and meets the requirements of airlines and airports. Any additional costs arising from missed connecting flights are not reimbursed.

    • Double booking
      Double booking means two or more reservations in the name of the same passenger on a flight of the same airline. If you have a double booking, airline may cancel the trip. This can also happen if bookings have been made through different travel agencies. We are not responsible for cancellation of flights by airlines and for refusal of airlines to refund funds in case they suppose double booking.

3. Airlines that are prohibited from working in the EU (“black list”). Please note that some airlines are prohibited from operating in the EU in accordance with the resolution made by the European Commission in close consultation with national air transport authorities.

  1. Perhaps your contract with a relevant airline allows it to cancel or change your booking. We will notify you of any changes as soon as we know about them from airline.
  2. The departure time indicated on your booking confirmation may change from the date of booking to the date of your actual trip. In case of a change in flight schedule, we will notify you of this as soon as we receive relevant information from airline. However, we strongly recommend that you contact your airline no later than 72 hours before the scheduled departure of each flight to make sure that the flight (and any connecting flights) will be performed as scheduled. We do not control changes in the airline’s schedule and are not responsible for expenses that may arise as a result of such changes.

If you want to change booking or cancel booking and return the money, and if the conditions of an airline allow such a change or a refund upon cancellation, we can submit a request on your behalf as an additional service. When booking additional services, you will be informed about the conditions and fees associated with provision of such services. You can also contact the airline directly.
