Terms and conditions
We are trading as SPA Travel, d.o.o., Company Number 02891883, having its Registered Office address at Bulevar Revolucije 9, 81000 Podgorica, Montenegro. All stays in Slovakia are trading under our travel agency partner WWM Group, s.r.o., Company Number 47417579, having its Registered Office
address at Andreja Hlinku 33, 971 01 Prievidza, Slovakia and Our Agreement With You sets out what you are legally entitled to expect from us when you
buy a Holiday from us and will not apply to any course of dealings between us other than the Holiday booked. You should read our terms and conditions
carefully, before you book, to see how they affect your specific travel arrangements made by us.
1. Your Travel Booking
Whether you book alone or as a group, we will only deal with the lead booking name in all subsequent correspondence, including changes, amendments
and cancellations. You must be 18 years old at the time of booking and possess the legal capacity and authority to book as the lead name and
travel on holidays with us and take up the offers advertised by us if they are still available. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the personal
details or any other information supplied in respect of yourself and any other person travelling on the booking and for passing on any information
regarding the booking or any changes made in relation thereto, to all persons travelling on such booking, including but not limited to information on
schedule changes or copies of booking confirmations.
In addition, if your holiday includes a flight, you are also responsible for (a) notifying us prior to the time of booking of any personal circumstances and
needs pertaining to a person included in the booking including, without limitation, whether any such person is not self -reliant or is a person with mobility
- for example if you, or a member of your party, have difficulty in walking 500 meters; and (b) notifying us at any time from the time of booking until
48 hours prior to the flight’s departure by calling our call center if any person travelling on the booking has ceased to be self -reliant or a person with
reduced mobility or if a person previously reported to be with reduced mobility or as not being self -reliant does no longer fall into either category. It is a
condition of your booking with us that you and all other members of your party, including infants and children, are adequately insured on holiday. Any
person who is under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult on his or her journey. There may be other restrictions and conditions on some offers,
but these are explained in the details of those offers. When you or (if you are booking through a travel agent) your travel agent ask for your booking
to be confirmed, we will confirm the booking there and then, and set aside your chosen accommodation, holiday or transport for you. Next, we will
send you or your travel agent a Confirmation Invoice within 14 days. We may not be able to confirm some of our ground arrangements straight away
(e.g. bespoke accommodation, tours etc.). In these instances we may issue a Confirmation Invoice. However, a contract for arrangements that have
not been confirmed on that invoice will only be made when we have sent you written confirmation that those additional arrangements have been
completed. If there is any change to any of the details discussed at the time of booking, before the Confirmation Invoice is issued, we will notify you
promptly of any new or changed details, including a change to the total price (if any). If any detail on the Confirmation Invoice is not correct tell us or
your travel agent immediately. If there is an obvious error on the Confirmation Invoice we reserve the right to correct it as soon as we become aware
of it, but we will do this within 7 days of issuing the Confirmation Invoice or, if your departure is within 7 days, no later than 24 hours before you go. If any
of these changes are not acceptable then you will be entitled to a full refund.
2. The Price You Pay
All prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time. Prices include a
cost for fuel that was estimated at the date of this publication. We reserve the right to add a fuel supplement to holiday prices should this increase after the date of this publication. Prices can go up or down. We will be able to tell you or your travel agent the up-to-date price of your chosen travel arrangements and of any other services advertised by us before confirming your booking. We reserve the right to increase the price of your holiday after you have booked but no later than 30 days before the departure date stipulated and will forward an Amendment Invoice reflecting any changes made. After a Confirmation Invoice has been sent to you, any increase to your holiday price will be as the result of changes in our costs of supplying your holiday resulting from transportation charges, (fuel, airport charges, scheduled air fares and other transport charges which form part of our contract with the transport provider), currency fluctuations and government action. An administration charge and any relevant travel agent’s commission are included within these amounts.
3. If We Cancel Your Booking
We aim to provide your holiday as booked. But if, for example, there are not enough people booked on your holiday or you do not pay the balance
of the holiday price on time, we may cancel it. We reserve the right to cancel your holiday in any circumstances but if we cancel your holiday, except
where this is because you have not paid, you can either have a refund or accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or similar standard and
price, if we are able to offer you one. We will always refund the difference in price if the replacement holiday is of a lower standard and price. If you
are not accept a replacement holiday from us, we will refund you the whole price of your holiday. We will not cancel your holiday less than 60 days
before you go, unless this is the result of one of the events in the ‘Important Note – Events Beyond Our Control’.
Important Note – Events Beyond Our Control
Events beyond our control include: war, threat of war, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist activity and its consequences, industrial disputes, natural and
nuclear disasters, fire, epidemics, health risks and pandemics, unavoidable and unforeseeable technical problems with transport for reasons beyond
our control or that of our suppliers; closed or congested airports or ports, hurricanes and other actual or potential severe weather conditions, and any
other similar events.
4. Our Responsibility For Your Holiday
We will arrange for you to receive the services that make up the holiday that you choose and that we confirm. These services will be provided through
independent suppliers contracted by us. We are responsible for making sure that each part of the holiday you book with us is provided to a reasonable
standard and as was advertised by us (or as changed and accepted by you). If any part of your holiday is not provided as described, you are obliged
to claim the service directly to independent suppliers who are responsible for the supplied service. We will not pay you compensation, if appropriate;
unless this is due to reasons beyond our control (see ‘Important Note – Events Beyond Our Control’).
5. Paying For Your Travel Arrangements
You will be required to pay a deposit to us for each person when you book unless this is within 60 days of departure when the full amount for the booking
is payable. The deposit amount will be specified by us or your travel agent when your booking is made. If it is not specified then it will be the amount
that we ask you to pay when you book, even if this is 100% of the holiday price. This is your only commitment until 60 days before you go. Within two
weeks of booking, we will send you a Confirmation Invoice showing how much you owe us. You must pay the amount on the last Invoice issued by us,
at least 60 days you go on holiday. If you don’t, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and to charge you a cancellation charge up
to 100% of the total on that last Invoice, in accordance with the scale in section 7. If you pay money for your booking to a travel agent appointed by
us, they will hold that money as our agent from the time they receive it until they pay the money to us. If your payment is made by credit card a fee will
apply, please check fee at time of booking. We do not accept personal cheques.
6. If You Change Your Booking
1. You must ensure all names and details are entered correctly at the time of booking. You will receive an invoice once your booking is confirmed
and must contact us straight away if there is something that you need to correct, or if you don’t receive an invoice within 7 days of confirming your
booking. Amendments to correct passenger name misspellings will be free of charge within 14 days of booking, if there are more than 28 days until
your departure date. If there are 28 days or less to your departure date, you must correct misspellings within 2 days of booking to avoid being charged
an amendment fee.
2. Please bear in mind that certain airlines and other transport providers treat changes as a cancellation and charge accordingly, up to 100% of the
cost for that part of the arrangement. Where applicable these charges will be passed on to you.
3. When changing your holiday details, the price of your new travel arrangements will be based on the price that applies on the day you make the
change. These prices may not be the same as when you first made your booking.
4. Some accommodation is priced according to the number of people staying there. If your party size changes, we’ll recalculate your booking cost
based on the new number of people going. If fewer people share the accommodation, then the cost per person may go up. This extra cost isn’t a
cancellation charge, and it isn’t normally covered by insurance.
5. Some arrangements cannot be removed once they have been added to your booking. These include: transfers, flight options, children’s activities,
accommodation options such as room/board upgrades and late checkout rooms. Certain extras, such as excursions, theme park tickets and airport
extras may be non-refundable. We will make this clear when you book those arrangements, please check with us if you are unsure at the time of
booking.

7. If You Cancel Your Booking
If you want to cancel your booking, or part of it, you must contact us as soon as possible. If you have made your booking through a Travel Agency,
your agent must advise us of your request to cancel. Once your booking has been cancelled you can expect to receive a cancellation invoice within
7 days. If you don’t, please contact us. To cover the cost of processing your cancellation, and to compensate us for the risk that we may not be able to resell your travel arrangements, we’ll make a cancellation charge on the scale shown below. You are responsible for paying this charge.
Guide To Our Cancellation Charges.
These charges are based on how many days before your booked departure we receive your cancellation notice, and are a percentage of the total cost of your booking, not including your insurance premium. If you want to cancel one or more passengers on the booking you’ll have to pay a proportion of the applicable cancellation charge for those passengers.
| Period Before Departure When Notice Of Cancellation Is Received | Percentage Of Total Booking Price |
| 70 days or more | Loss of deposit |
| 69 – 57 days | 30% |
| 56 - 43 days | 50% |
| 42 - 29 days | 75% |
| 28 - 15 days | 85% |
| 14 - 0 days | 100% |
Your deposit is non-refundable, even if the cancellation charge calculated is lower than the deposit amount paid. Where extra facilities or transport
options are non-refundable, in part or in full, the cost of these will be added to the cancellation charge you have to pay.
If you booked using a Low Deposit Offer, the full deposit amount stated on your confirmation invoice will need to be paid upon cancellation.
The cancellation charge may be higher for certain travel arrangements, such as coach tours or scheduled airfares. Please ask for details of cancellation
charges when you book and check your insurance policy to see if you’d be covered for the cost of any cancellation charges.
8. If You Have A Complain
If you have a complaint about your arrangements whilst away, you must immediately notify the supplier of the service in question locally. If they are
unable to resolve the problem immediately, and a member of our staff is not available, you should contact us straight away by phone/email and we
will endeavor to assist. If you are still not satisfied on your return home, you must write to our After Travel Customer Support at our address in Slovakia,
within 28 days of returning from your holiday to allow your complaint to be investigated properly. Please write your holiday reference number on your
letter, and include your daytime and evening telephone numbers. If you do not give us the opportunity to resolve any problem locally by reporting it
to the supplier, or calling and informing us, then we may not be able to deal positively with any complaint on your return.
9. Conduct While Travelling
We reserve the right to refuse to accept you as a customer or continue dealing with you if we, or another person in authority, believe your behavior is
disruptive, causes unnecessary inconvenience, is threatening or abusive, you damage property, you upset, annoy, disturb, or put any other traveler or
our staff or agents in the SVK or resort in any risk or danger, on the telephone, in writing or in person.
If the Captain of your flight or cruise ship or any of our resort staff or agents believes that you could be disruptive or that you are suffering from a contagious disease, they can also refuse to let you proceed with your travel arrangements, restrict your movements on board, disembark you from a ship
or aircraft, or remove you from your accommodation or excursion.
If you are disruptive and prevented from boarding your outbound flight, we will treat your booking as cancelled by you from that moment, and you
will have to pay full cancellation charges (see section 7). If this occurs overseas then you will become responsible for your own return home and any
other members of your group who cannot or will not travel without you. We will not be liable for any refund, or compensation or any costs or expenses
you incur.
If you are refused carriage because of your behaviour, or you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, your airline may pass on your details and
date of the refusal of carriage to other airlines for their information. This in turn may make it difficult for you to book other airline tickets. In any of these
circumstances no refunds or compensation will be paid to you and we may make a claim against you for any damages, costs and expenses (including
legal expenses) incurred as a result of your behaviour including but not limited to (i) repairing or replacing property lost, damage or destroyed by you,
(ii) compensating any passenger, crew, staff or agent affected by your actions and (iii) diverting the aircraft for the purpose of removing you from the
aircraft. Criminal proceedings may also be instigated.
For the purposes of this section reference to “you” or “your” includes any other person in your party.
10. Your Accommodation
Any accommodation we arrange for you must only be used by those people named on your Confirmation Invoice / Voucher (or on latest Amendment
Invoice issued). You are not allowed to share the accommodation or let anyone else stay there. You are responsible for the cost of any damage
caused to your accommodation or its contents during your stay,. These charges must be met by you and may have to be paid locally.
Check in usual after 2.00 pm, check out till 10.00am. In some hotels shp
11. The Conditions Of Your Ticket
When you travel by air or by sea, your journey may be subject to certain international conventions such as the Warsaw Convention, Montreal Convention
or Athens Convention. You agree that the transport company’s own ‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to you on that journey. When arranging
this transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those ‘Conditions of Carriage’.
You acknowledge that all of these terms and conditions form part of your contract with us as well as with the transport company. You can ask us or the
travel agent booking your holiday to provide you with a copy of any of the conditions applicable to your journey. The airline’s terms and conditions are
available on request. We will tell you the identity of the air carrier when you book with us and if it is not known at that time or subsequently changes we
will inform you as soon as possible and no later than at check-in for your flight.
