The customer agrees to personally verify the relevance of the information by contacting the service provider, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassy, tourist information point or other agencies and by bearing the risk of understanding and following the established requirements.

Service providers assume that the customer or the person using a travel service (incl. children) have the required travel documents (passport, identity document, visa, vaccination certificate) to enter the country of destination as well as all other transit countries. One must take into account that permitting or not permitting a person to enter a country is within the exclusive competence of the particular country even if the person has all the required travel documents.

4.3. The website will make every effort to keep the information displayed in the website about the sales terms of the service providers (including, but not limited to, descriptions and dates) without errors or defects. The website ensures that the information is displayed in the manner communicated to the website by the service provider, but does not guarantee the correctness of the information. The website makes every effort to eliminate any errors or defects immediately after detecting them.

4.4. Since the occurrence of errors in the website cannot be fully precluded, the service providers and Estravel reserve the right to double-check all the bookings and purchases made.

In such an event, Estravel will contact the customer in order to buy a new travel service or return the fee paid by the customer.

5. Sales terms of service provider

If the customer fails to click on the button ‘Back to seller’ or if the Internet connection is lost, the accrual of the payment will be registered on the next banking day.

7.3. The website of the service providers will not be required to give the customer any confirmations, vouchers or other documents before the total price for the booked travel service has been received.

7.4. The steps for which a service fee needs to be paid, as well as the amount of the service fee, have been specified in the price list of the services of the website, which can be accessed via the following link: website service fees. The size of the service fee relating to a step and the manner of payment thereof will be displayed in a separate line in the website also before taking a respective step or booking. The cancellation of a booking, failure to purchase or partially or fully use a travel service of a service provider does not serve as a basis for refunding the service fee.

8. Filing of complaints

8.1. Please note that Estravel cannot process complaints concerning the quality of services rendered by service providers, e.g. service in airports, on-board service, luggage handling, service in a hotel, acts of a security company or representatives of state authorities. In such events we can merely make recommendations along with the contact details of the person whom to address with such feedback. The direct communication with a service provider in the interests of the customer is possible only by special agreement and in the event of payment of the consultation fee specified in the price list based on the actual time spent. In no event can we guarantee the attainment of a solution suitable for the customer or the receipt of a reply from the service provider for any specific deadline.

8.2. If the customer finds that a travel service does not meet the terms established by the service provider, the service provider must be informed thereof immediately and directly. If no solution is found, a written complaint on the case must be filed as soon as possible, but not later than within seven (7) days after the termination of provision of the travel service and not later than within fourteen (14) days after learning of the event. A written complaint must be filed against the service provider and sent either directly to the mail or e-mail address of the service provider or to Estravel’s mail or e-mail address. Evidence of the non-compliance of the travel service and documents of additional expenses and damage caused must be added to the complaint. A complaint not filed within the prescribed term is deemed as expired.
