If a customer is not able to personally sign the contract, the contract will become valid only when CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB receives the entire agreed amount, or if it is expressly agreed, part of the agreed price and documentation that indisputably insures the payment of the remaining part of the price by the agreed date. The customer can apply for the tour in all offices of CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB Ltd. and other authorized agencies in person, by telephone, Internet or another source of communication. When signing the contract the customer is required to provide the correct personal data and all documentation necessary for organizing the trip. The CUSTOMER guarantees that he or she gave the correct and valid data to CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB Ltd. which are necessary for the smooth implementation of the voyage. CUSTOMER accepts all legal obligations arising out of this agreement and applicable laws.


2. Reservations and payment

To confirm the booking, the customer pays a minimum 50% of the price (if in the program is not stated otherwise) when making the reservation. The rest of the total price must be paid before the trip starts or customer is obliged to provide the documentation for the undisputed total payment arrangements. If a customer fails to fulfill his obligations, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB Ltd. can cancel the customer’s reservation without the possibility of a refund.


3. Prices

Tour prices are published in the travel program and valid from the date of publication of the program. The prices in the travel programs of CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB Ltd. are based on a contract basis with our partners and do not necessarily match the rates and prices stated on the spot in the area in which the customer resides, and any difference in price cannot be the subject of complaints. Price in the contract does not include the extra cost that has to be paid on the journey such as tips, expenses of the personal nature, possible turnoffs if the driver decides are necessary and other activities not accorded to plan and program but needful for possible safety reasons. For services that have to be paid on the spot such as entrance tickets in museums, galleries, churches etc. traveler submits an eventual complaint directly to the executor of services.
CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB Ltd. may, not later than 5 days prior to the tour and/or jeep safari increase the agreed price if there is a change in currency which increases the cost of services particularly transportation costs, including fuel and taxes. In this case the price of the arrangement will increase reciprocally to the price calculation elements on the basis of which the price is formed. The customer is obliged to accept an increase in the contract price by up to 10%. If there is an increase in the contract price in excess of 10%, the customer has the right to cancel the arrangement and is required to contact CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB within 2 working days of receiving the notice. In the case of cancelation of the arangement the customer has no right for a refund. If the customer does not deliver his approval of the new price in writing within the specified time, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB considers that customer agrees with the price change.


4. A categorization of accommodation capacities and description of services

The hotels, hostels, apartments or other accommodation capacities that CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB offers are described by the official categorization in Croatia at the time of issuance of the program. Accommodation, food services, and other services are under the supervision of the local and national tourist boards in Croatia, while the standards of accommodation and services are different and not comparable. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB takes no responsibility for any verbal or written information that does not match the description of services and facilities in the programs of CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB which may have been given by CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB or third party. Accommodation schedules in rooms or apartments are determined by the reception desk in the residence. If a customer has not expressly paid for the room or apartment with a special characteristic, he will accept any officially registered room or apartment in each individual facility or destination. The time of entrance in the rooms or apartments is under the regulation of reception desk of the destination.


5. Travel documents and respecting the regulations

The customer that registers for the tours of CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB must own valid travel documents. The customer should respect the customs, motto and other regulations of the Republic of Croatia. If the customer due to non-respectable behaviour cannot continue the journey, he should bear all the costs and consequences that such behaviour causes. If the customer lost travel documents during the journey or he has been robbed, he will at his own expense provide the new ones. The customer is obliged to fulfill the conditions prescribed by visa regulations, border, customs, health etc. both for his documents and his baggage in the Republic of Croatia. The customer is obliged to obey house rules in catering and hotel facilities and to cooperate with representatives of tour operators and service providers with good intentions. In the case of non-compliance with these obligations, the customer is responsible for the caused damage, and CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB takes no responsibility for such damage. In that case, the customer is responsible for the damage directly to the owners of hotels, apartments, etc. at the reception desk.
When signing a contract, employee of CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB will meet CUSTOMER with sources of information in the Republic of Croatia. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB can instruct the customer but does not take responsibility for consequences due to non-compliance with regulations in the Republic of Croatia. Invalid travel documents that have as a consequence the abandonment of the tour are not a responsibility of the CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB takes no responsibility for any damage that would result from non-compliance to regulations in the Republic of Croatia or be caused by the invalid passports and other travel documents. In that case, customer does not have any right to refund.


6. Travel Insurance

According to the Law on the Provision of services in Tourism in Croatia agency employees are obliged to offer a customer the package of travel insurance which consists of voluntary health insurance during their stay in Croatia, insurance against accidents, baggage insurance, and tour cancellation insurance. By signing the travel contract the customer confirms that he or she was offered a package of travel insurance. If a customer requires any additional insurance, he can be directly linked with any insurance company or with CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB, but where CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB acts intermediary. By signing the travel contract the customer claims that he has been offered and recommended by all the insurance packages stated in the previous paragraph.


7. Trip cancellation insurance

If a customer during the booking process predicts that for some reason he might be forced to cancel a trip, we recommend the payment of trip cancellation insurance. Trip cancellation insurance cannot be paid afterward, only during the booking process. Trip cancellation insurance is valid only in the following cases, and with written confirmation: military draft, illness, death in the immediate family. If the customer does not have insurance and must cancel the trip, and has a confirmation of a military draft, illness or death in the immediate family, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB reserves the right to payments according to the rules from Article 8. in this document. By paying trip cancellation insurance, the customer claims that he will get a refund directly from the insurance company whose trip cancellation insurance policy he owns and CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB is obligated to provide all necessary documentation for the claim and customer to the insurance company, which refers to the arrangement. All terms and conditions are stated in the insurance policy and every customer is recommended to read it carefully.

 

8. Cancellation of the travel by traveler

If the customer cancels the paid arrangement, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB reserves 50% of the total price for 1-day tours (if in the program is not stated otherwise) from the date of applying to the tour to the day of realization. If the customer cancels the paid arrangement last day or 24 hours before the tour, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB keeps the total amount or 100% of the total price. If the customer cancels the arrangement on the location, after payment, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB keeps the total amount or 100 % of the total price. 
These costs apply to the changes in departure dates, accommodation, and all the other important changes. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB charges the actual cost of the replacement if the customer cancels the trip and finds another user for the same reservation that satisfies all the conditions for using the arrangement.

If a passenger cancels the Jeep arrangement (Jeepovima kroz Albaniju, Grčku & Makedoniju s Jasenom Bokom, Jeepovima kroz Makedoniju, Grčku & Albaniju s Jasenom Bokom) the Organizer retains from the total price of the arrangement:

European trips:
• from registration to 30 days before departure 20% of the price of the arrangement, but at least 15 EUR
• 29-22 days before departure 30% of the price of the arrangement
• 21-15 days before departure 40% of the price of the arrangement
• 14-8 days before departure 80% of the price of the arrangement
• 7-0 days before departure and after departure 100% of the price of the arrangement


9. Trip cancellation by Croatian Travel Club Ltd. and change of travel program

If CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB prior to travel significantly changes the program, accommodation and costs, it is obliged to immediately notify the customer in verbal and in writing. The customer may, within two working days after receiving the notice accept the modified program or reject it. In the case of refusal or failure to respond to the offer, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB undertakes within 7 working days to return a customer paid part of the price. In case of acceptance, the substitute travel arrangement that CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB offered is considered as a new travel contract, provided that the customer denies all claims against CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB from any legal basis that derived from the original contract.

After the journey, if CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB has not provided the services from the contract or if they estimate that they will not be able to ensure the fulfillment of most of the contracted services, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB may at its own expense and with the consent of passengers make changes to the program to continue their journey and, if necessary, indemnify a customer for the price difference between contracted and actual service costs. With the written consent of customers, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB can replace a service with another one, where the customer rejects all the claims and any refunds from CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB for such a mutually signed contract, different from the original travel contract.

If CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB could not in an appropriate way change the program trip or if the customer had justifiable reason for not accepting the changes, CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB will at their own cost enable a customer the return to the place of departure or some other place, if the customer agrees with this, and reimburse any damage sustained in doing so. The damage is paid in the amount of part of the price of the unused part of the agreed program, and this is based on the complaint of the customer. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB will resolve the complaint in the manner specified in Section 11. of this document. The highest amount of compensation is the price of the agreed arrangement. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB is authorized with a unilateral statement fully or partially terminate the contract, without the obligation of damage compensation to customers in the event of external uncommon and unpredictable circumstances that could not be prevented or avoided, which did not exist at the time of concluding the contract on organized tours and which would be a legitimate reason for CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB not to enter into a contract. In this case, the customer is entitled to a refund of the amount paid in full or the price difference between the contracted and offered services. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB reserves the right to cancel the trip, at least 5 days prior to travel, if travel is canceled by the organizer of the tour for who CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB worked as a mediator and partner in the sales of that arrangement or if the particular trip did not raise a sufficient number of passengers required for the implementation of the arrangement referred to each tour program or for some other valid reason. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB reserves the right to change the date or hour of travel due to changes in schedules or due to unpredictable circumstances, the right to change the direction of travel if the conditions for the trip had changed (ex. changed timetable, the security situation in a country, natural disasters or other situations in which CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB could not affect), and without indemnity, according to the regulations in the domestic and international traffic. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB takes no responsibility for any changes due to unpredictable circumstances and higher force during the trip. In this case, the agency can provide services in regard to the situation. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB is not responsible for any errors in the press program in the context of brochures/catalogs as well as for incorrect data entry entered by the operators on the website.

 

10. Travel organized by other organizers/tour operators

For all the programs where CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB is the main organizer, these Terms and Conditions are valid except in the case where CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB works as a mediator, not the main organizer. Such arrangements will be specially marked and for them will apply the general responsibilities of the organizers and CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB is not responsible for the implementation of tour packages of other organizers. By signing the contract the customer fully accepts the program and the conditions of the voyage.


11. Complaints

The customer has the right to complain due to implementation failure of contracted services. The customer is required to send a complaint in writing to CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB within 8 days after the tour. Complaints delivered after the deadline will not be taken into consideration. We emphasize that it is in the interest of a customer to act with good intentions and express the desire to resolve complaints during the tour, and his written complaint give to the service provider on the spot (ex. reception, transport, catering or travel agency in the destination) and request from the service provider a written confirmation that has received the complaint. Every passenger – contract holder must take a separate complaint. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB will not consider group complaints. CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB is required to send a written answer on the complaint within 15 days of receipt of the complaint and to the way in which the complaint was received (e-mail, personal delivery etc.). CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB will only resolve those complaints for which the customer delivers evidence that he had sent a written complaint to the service provider on the spot and that could not be solved on the spot. If CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB has failed to complete the program or part of the service, the customer has right to compensation corresponding to the actual value of unused services and cannot include services already provided or the total amount. In the case of "last minute" tours (travelling at the last minute) or contracts in which CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB finds the name of the accommodation objects after arrival at the destination (with action as Fortuna, roulette, no name, wild card, etc.), the customer accepts all risks of such travel. Such travel contains uncertain data and CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB could not affect them, and the passenger primarily because of the cheap price of an arrangement accepted such a trip and therefore has no right to complain to CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB. While CROATIAN TRAVEL CLUB decides on the complaint of customers, the customer refrains from mediation by any other person, court institution or giving information to the media.


12. Health regulations
