Article 10 - Special provisions relating to services provided by the local agency
10.1 Cancellation
All cancellations must be made by letter, fax, or email directly to the local agent. The Customer will be charged cancellation fees based on local agent polices.
If the conditions provided in the Terms and Conditions of Sale of the local agency are different, the conditions of the local agency will apply. The amount of the cancellation fee will be deducted from the deposit paid by the customer when booking. If the traveller has paid using Ollami' secure payment platform, Ollami will credit them using the initial payment method (credit card, debit etc.). Each local agent is required to inform you of its terms, which will be those applied. In case you need additional support, please refer to Article 18 to contact Ollami.
It is the Customer's responsibility to notify the company providing their cancellation insurance coverage within the specified time to verify whether they are eligible for reimbursement of such cancellation fees. The cancellation insurance policy premium is never refundable.
10.2 Payment
All bookings become effective on receipt of the deposit.
For example, please find below some commonly applied conditions:
The deposit is represented by payment of 30% of the total tour price. The customer will pay the remaining 70% of the invoice amount 45 days before the departure date in accordance with the local agent's Terms and Conditions of Sale.
Each local agent is required to inform you of its terms and payment methods, which will be those applied.
Travellers will pay local agencies via the secure payment platform provided by Ollami.
10.3 Changes
Between the time the quotation is issued and your acceptance, accommodation availability can change. Changes can therefore be made and will be made following your consent.
10.4 Unused services
Any tour cut short or interrupted, or any land, river, sea, or air service not used for any reason will not result in any refund by the local agent.
It is the traveller's responsibility to take out insurance coverage that reimburses unused services.
10.5 Default of the local agency
OLLAMI is not responsible for the services provided by local agencies or their default (bankruptcy, death of executives, etc.).
