Active Adriatic reserves the right to partially or completely withdraw from contract, when met with exceptional circumstances that could not be expected, removed or avoided, while these circumstances, if they were to exist before the arrangement, represent a valid reason for not signing the contract. With tour package programs depending on good weather or where weather is an essential condition of the tour, Active Adriatic can withdraw from contract, due to bad or inadequate weather conditions, considered as withdrawal due to exceptional circumstances. 

Active Adriatic can cancel the contract or withdraw from the contract and demand repair of damage from the client who is in direct violation of contract with Active Adriatic, if it is established that client intentionally misinformed Active Adriatic about the number of clients or their age, or if there were changes during the trip and Active Adriatic had not been informed.

In case the conditions on spot prevent Active Adriatic from accommodating clients in previously arranged rooms, Active Adriatic accommodates the client in the same place/town in a building of the same category. 

​

  • CANCELLATIONS MADE BY CLIENTS

​

Voluntary cancellations made by the client must be received written to an email booking@activeadriatic.com. Upon contract cancellation the client has to sign a cancellation document given by the sales assistant of Active Adriatic. In case the client refuses to sign the document, it is considered that the contract has not been cancelled.

Active Adriatic reserves the right to keep 30% deposit for the administration costs. The amount of refunded costs depends on when Active Adriatic gets a written email about cancelling the tour by the client and on the number of days before the tour start date.

Cancellations are processed under these stipulations:

  • Cancellations received at least 60 days in advance of a tour's start date will receive 70% refund of a tour final price;

  • Cancellations received between 59 and 30 days in advance of a tour's start date will receive 50% refund of a tour price;

  • Cancellation received between 29 and 15 days in advance of a tour's start date will receive 25% refund of a tour price;

  • Cancellations received in the last 14 days before a tour's start day will not be refunded.

 

In addition to the cancellation policy also applies:

  • In case the client changes the program on their own wish or does not travel according to program, it is considered that the client cancelled the contract. In this case the client also has no right to a refund of costs or purchase price. The client is in this case liable for any costs or damage caused by changing the program.

  • If the client fails to appear or cancel the tour package on departure date or even after, the client pays for the entire tour package. In case of otherwise specified cancellation cost conditions in the program, those conditions apply.

  • After signing the cancellation contract the client can change the name or number of clients, accommodation, under different conditions, so the change can be made without cancelling the tour package. In this case, the client has to pay only the administrative costs of 30% of the whole tour package price.

  • Any costs incurred by the Active Adriatic as a result of the cancellation, like non-refundable purchases of specific equipment or any non-refundable cancellation fees for accommodations or services, are not refundable.

  • Without documents needed or adequate insurance the client may be disallowed to continue the tour without the right of any refunds and the cancellation policy applies.

  • Clients who fail to provide the application form, payment of deposit and the full invoice in the dates inscribed in these Booking Conditions and Terms of Services, will not be able to join the tour and the cancellation policy applies.

 

*We advise that clients have full personal travel insurance that covers for the expenses in case either party cancels the tour for any reason.

​

  • DOCUMENTS AND TRAVEL INSURANCE

​

Every client of Active Adriatic tours is encouraged to contact the consulate/embassy and their insurance company to place documentation and travel insurance in order.

The client has an obligation to be informed of passport, visa rules in force, exchange rules, customs and health regulations. The client must ensure that their person, documents, luggage meet the conditions of customs, border, health regulations of their country as well as transit country/ies and country/ies they plan to stay in. Active Adriatic is not liable in any way if a client cannot take a tour or accommodate due to not having documents in order. In case the client is denied entry to a country, or for any other impediment, the client is responsible for all costs.

In case some countries require a specific amount of time before the passport expires in order to enter the country, the client is solely responsible to ensure their identity document is in order. If any unpleasant situation or premature trip cancellation arises from disregarding these requirements Active Adriatic is not responsible.

Active Adriatic insists that a client must have a travel insurance before he/she travels to cover cancellations, medical expenses, injuries, death and repatriation. Clients should know, that by joining cycling or hiking tours, the client inherits risks involved and that Active Adriatic will not be liable for the medical expenses or evacuation in case of an accident.

Active Adriatic does not check insurance policies for suitability, but reserves the right to request a copy. If a client joins the tour without adequate insurance, Active Adriatic reserves the right to disallow from continuing the tour without the right of refund. This action protects both sides.

For damages where Active Adriatic is responsible, its liability is strictly limited to twice the total price of the tour. In booking a tour with Active Adriatic the client agrees to these terms and accepts this limit on our liability. It allows to keep the prices of the tours as low as possible.

 

  • NOTIFICATION BEFORE THE TOUR'S START

​

Clients receive notification about the tour’s start via email (in case they provided Active Adriatic with their email address), otherwise they can get the information needed at active.adriatic@gmail.com or on the mobile phone number +38641822007.

In case the client does not receive the notification one (1) day before departure, he/she has to contact the organizer, otherwise Active Adriatic would assume a client have already got it.

In case the client submits an incomplete or false email address for notifications, voucher issue or contract, the client is responsible for all costs.

​

  • SUITABILITY, BEHAVIOUR AND SPECIAL REQUESTS

​

All the tours of Active Adriatic are graded and a client is responsible to be physically fit, experienced and suitably equipped to compete the tour. Children under the age of 10 are not allowed to participate the tours of Active Adriatic. Active Adriatic is not responsible for any complications or trip cancellation by the client due to client’s failure to follow health regulations of the country to which they travel or the program they apply for as well as any costs resulting from these actions.

If a client has allergies, special dietary requests or medical conditions, he/she is obligated to inform Active Adriatic about it before the booking process and also inform the tour operators, operating the tour. Active Adriatic cannot guarantee that will be able to meet the client's requirements or special requests. If Active Adriatic reasonably feels unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person, has the right to decline or cancel the booking.

The client's booking is accepted on the basis that he/she understands and accepts the inherent risks involved in adventure or activity travel and that he/she undertakes the treks, tours and activities of his/her own free will. If a client decides that is unable to continue the holiday, takes the responsibility for making his/her own alternative arrangements at own expenses. If in Active Adriatic's reasonable opinion a client's behavior is likely to cause injury, upset or distress to third party or damage to property, the tour managers of Active Adriatic are entitled to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned, without prior notice and they will be responsible for making alternative arrangements and no refunds will be given.

​

  • ACCOMODATION CATEGORIZATION AND HOUSE RULES

​

Accommodations in Active Adriatic tour programs are marked according to the national categorization of the country in the time of publishing the program. Active Adriatic has no influence on these. Active Adriatic warns, that countries do not have same standards and a client's country standards can differ from those he/she travels to.

Active Adriatic does not take responsibility of false information provided by any other sources, which are not in accordance to the official programs of Active Adriatic.

Also house rules of different accommodation, food, beaches and other supplies quality are not under cover of Active Adriatic.

Hoteliers are the ones who decide the distribution of the clients to the rooms. A client can ask for accommodating together with another client or make suggestions about the distribution, but Active Adriatic and/or hoteliers cannot guarantee these will be realized.

 

  • RECLAMATIONS AND COMPLAINTS

​

If a client want to make complaint or reclamation, he/she has to make it during the tour to the tour operator, another direct organizer or to the local tourist agency in the form of a letter. If a reclamation can be solved on site, for example lack of cleanliness, equipment or room position, and a client did not complain on the site and write to the listed authorities, it is considered that he/she agrees with these conditions and does not have any rights to reclamations or get any refunds after the tour is finished. In other words, if the written emailed reclamation does not include the record made by the tour operator, it cannot be obtained as valid.

In any reclamation process, a client must reclaim inadequate services there on the site to the tour operator's representative or, in his/her absence, to the service provider. A client and a representative or provider have to cooperate for a good purpose. A client must list the time, the place and the reason of the reclamation. This written message has to be sent to Active Adriatic, who reasonably decides, if the reclamation is accepted.

If the reclamation is accepted, the following solutions are provided:

  • In case of a problem with accommodation, a client has the right to compensation in the amount of the one night price;

  • In case of a problem with food, a client has the right to an alternate meal;

  • In case of a problem with equipment (bicycle, helmet, etc.), a client has the right to replace it with another.  

If an offered solution is not accepted by the client on the site, he/she must get a confirmation and report together with the representative of Active Adriatic. A client must email the reclamation enclosed with the confirmation report and other evidences to active.adriatic@gmail.com within the time of two months after the tour participating. Active Adriatic is obligated to answer first time within 8 days after receiving the reclamation email, and finally inform the client about the conclusion in a reasonable time needed. Until Active Adriatic does not provide the final conclusion to the client, the client resigns to forward the complaint to any higher authorities, to media or other publicity.

Active Adriatic will solve only problems which could not be solved on the site with its representative or a service provider. Reclamation has to be signed by the client and justified with all needed evidences attached (bills of the costs, confirmations and reports of the hoteliers, transport organizers, etc.).

An amount of compensation in any way depends on the itinerary costs. The compensations are based on the real value of missing or inadequate services. This stipulation is not valid in case of Active Adriatic has the right to make changes of the program, that are in line with this document of conditions and terms.

​

  • LUGGAGE AND DOCUMENTS

​

Active Adriatic, its representatives or other service providers in the tour do not take responsibility for damaged, stolen or lost luggage and documents. A client reports damaged, lost or stolen items to transport operator, hotels or other supplier and is obligated to cover the costs caused by transportation of items.

If a client loses documents needed for continuing the tour, they must be provided at his/her own expense. A client can always ask for help or advice to tour operators, hotel managers or transport operators. If a client has to end the tour due to stolen, damaged or lost documentation or luggage, he/she is not eligible to any refunds and the cancellation policy ( under the point 11. of this document) applies.

​
