7. package tours

 

7.1 Duties of the customer

The customer is aware that in those cases where #allaboutmtb is only acting as an agent, the customer enters into the contract with the third party (airline, tour operator etc) and their terms and conditions apply. For services provided by other tour operators or service providers, #allaboutmtb only acts as an intermediary and not as a contractual partner; their own contractual and travel conditions apply. The customer must immediately notify #allaboutmtb and the service provider of any defects in writing.

If the customer is unable to travel or use a service for reasons not attributable to #allaboutmtb, the customer must inform #allaboutmtb immediately in writing, stating the reason. In such cases, cancellation costs will be incurred. The date of receipt of the letter by #allaboutmtb is decisive for the calculation of the cancellation costs. In addition, the cancellation costs of the respective organizer and the booked transport company apply.

If the customer is prevented from taking part in the package tour, he/she may assign the booking to a person who fulfils all the conditions attached to the participation, provided that he/she informs #allaboutmtb beforehand within a reasonable period before the departure date. This person and the client are jointly and severally liable to #allaboutmtb for the payment of the price and for any additional costs incurred as a result of this assignment.

 

7.2 Price increases

Price increases are generally possible. The price increase is calculated according to the same criteria as the calculation of the basic price. However, they must be made at least 3 (three) weeks before the date of departure. The price increase must be based on one of the following reasons: an increase in transport costs, including fuel costs, an increase in charges for certain services, such as landing fees, entry or

disembarkation fees at ports and corresponding fees at airports or change in the exchange rates applicable to the package.

If the price increase is more than 10%, it is a substantial change to the contract. The customer has the right to accept the change or to withdraw from the contract. He must notify #allaboutmtb of his decision as soon as possible, but definitely before the start of the trip. If the customer wishes to withdraw from the contract, he/she is entitled to participate in another package of equal or higher value, if #allaboutmtb or one of its business partners can offer him/her such a package, or to participate in another package of lower value, and to a refund of the difference in price or to a refund of all sums paid by him/her as soon as possible. The right to claim damages for non-performance of the contract is reserved.

 

7.3 Cancellation

If #allaboutmtb cancels the service for reasons for which the customer is not responsible, the customer is entitled to the options in the above paragraph.

7.4 Termination

#allaboutmtb is entitled to terminate the contract without notice if the performance of the trip is permanently disrupted despite a corresponding warning from the customer. The same applies if #allaboutmtb suspects that the customer has committed a criminal act in the holiday country or on the trip that is punishable under Swiss criminal law by imprisonment, or if the customer has behaved in a manner contrary to the contract to such an extent that the immediate cancellation of the contract is justified. #allaboutmtb however retains the right to the travel price. Any additional costs for the return transport are to be borne by the customer as a troublemaker. However, the customer will be charged for any expenses saved as a result of this, as well as any advantages gained from services not used, including reimbursements from other service providers.

 

7.5 Liability

Even if #allaboutmtb is not liable, it must endeavour to provide assistance to the customer.

For all damages, except personal injury, the liability is limited to twice the price of the service, except for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence.

#allaboutmtb excludes any liability for third party services to the extent permitted by law.
