The acceptance of the proposal for the purchase and sale of the tourist package is considered finalized, with the consequent conclusion of the contract, only when the organizer sends the relative confirmation, even electronically, to the traveler at the Selling Travel Agency, which will take care of its delivery to the traveler. Information related to the tourist package not contained in the contractual documents, brochures, or other written means of communication will be provided by the organizer, in regular fulfillment of the obligations provided for by art. 36, paragraph 8, CdT., before the start of the trip.
6.2 Special requests regarding the methods of provision and/or execution of certain services that are part of the tourist package, including the need for airport assistance for people with reduced mobility, the request for special meals on board or at the place of stay, must be made during the booking request and be the subject of a specific agreement between the traveler and the organizer, through the Travel Agency.
6.3In the case of contracts negotiated outside commercial premises, the traveler has the right to withdraw from the tourist package contract within five days from the date of conclusion of the contract or from the date on which he receives the contract conditions and preliminary information if later, without any penalty and without providing any reason. In the case of offers with significantly reduced rates compared to current offers, the right of withdrawal is excluded. In the latter case, the organizer documents the price change, adequately highlighting the exclusion of the right of withdrawal (art. 41, paragraph 7, CdT).

7.2. For reservations made after the date indicated as the deadline for making the balance payment, the entire amount must be paid at the time of signing the purchase proposal;
7.3. Failure to pay the sums mentioned above, on the established dates, as well as the failure to remit to the Tour Operator the sums paid by the Traveler to the Sales Agency, and the cessation of any guarantee action under art. 47 CdT towards the latter, constitutes an express termination clause pursuant to art. 1456 of the civil code, such as to determine the legal termination to be carried out by simple written communication, by fax or email, at the Selling Agency, or at the electronic domicile of the traveler, if communicated. The balance of the price is considered paid at the moment the sums reach the organizer directly from the traveler or through the intermediary travel agency chosen by the traveler.

 

8. PRICE (ART. 39 CdT)
8.1. The price of the tourist package is determined in the contract, with reference to what is indicated in the catalog, or out-of-catalog program, and any updates to the catalogs themselves or subsequent out-of-catalog programs, or on the Operator's website.
8.2. After the conclusion of the tourist package contract, the prices can be increased by what is indicated by the Organizer, to a maximum extent of 8%, only if the contract expressly provides for it and specifies that the traveler has the right to a corresponding price reduction, as well as the methods of calculating the price revision. In this case, the traveler has the right to a price reduction corresponding to the reduction in costs referred to in paragraph 2, letters a), b), and c), which occurs after the conclusion of the contract and before the start of the package.
8.3. Price increases are possible only following changes concerning:
   a) the price of passenger transport based on the cost of fuel or other energy sources;

8.6. In the case of a price reduction, the organizer has the right to deduct from the refund due to the traveler the actual administrative and management expenses, for which he is required to provide proof upon request by the traveler.

9. MODIFICATION OR CANCELLATION OF THE TOURIST PACKAGE BEFORE DEPARTURE (ART. 40 CdT)
9.1. Before the start of the package, the organizer cannot unilaterally modify the contract conditions other than the price under article 39, unless such a right has been reserved in the contract and the change is of minor importance.

10.5. The organizer may withdraw from the tourist package contract and offer the traveler a full refund of the payments made for the tourist package, but is not required to pay additional compensation if:

In any case, the Traveler who requests a change to an element related to a practice already confirmed, provided that the request does not constitute a contractual novation and provided that its implementation is possible, will pay the Tour Operator, in addition to the costs resulting from the modification itself, a fixed lump-sum cost.

 

12. OBLIGATIONS OF THE TRAVELERS
12.1. During negotiations and in any case before the conclusion of the contract, the Traveler is provided in writing with general information concerning passports and visas, and the health formalities necessary for travel abroad.
12.2. For rules regarding the travel abroad of minors, explicit reference is made to what is indicated on the website of the State Police. However, it is noted that minors must possess a personal document valid for travel abroad or a passport, or for EU countries, even an identity card valid for travel abroad. Regarding the travel abroad of minors under 14 years and the travel abroad of minors for whom Authorization issued by the Judiciary is required, the prescriptions indicated on the State Police website at http://www.poliziadistato.it/articolo/191/ apply.
12.3. Travelers must, in any case, find the corresponding information through their diplomatic representations and/or their official government information channels. In any case, before departure, travelers will verify the update with the competent authorities (for Italian citizens, the local Police Headquarters or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the website www.viaggiaresicuri.it or the Telephone Operational Center at 06.491115), adapting before departure. In the absence of such verification, no responsibility for the non-departure of one or more travelers can be attributed to the Sales Agency or the organizer.
12.4. Travelers must in any case inform the seller and the organizer of their citizenship at the time of the request for booking the tourist package or the tourist service, and at the time of departure, they must definitively ensure that they are provided with vaccination certificates, an individual passport, and any other document valid for all the countries affected by the itinerary, as well as residence, transit, and health certificates that may be required.
12.5. Furthermore, in order to assess the socio-political, health, and any other useful information related to the destination countries and, therefore, the objective usability of the services purchased or to be purchased, the traveler will have the burden of obtaining official general information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and disseminated through the institutional site of the Farnesina www.viaggiaresicuri.it.
The above information is not contained in the ERO catalogs – online or paper – as they contain general descriptive information as indicated in the information booklet and information not subject to temporal modification. The same, therefore, must be taken care of by the Travelers. Travelers must also adhere to the rules of normal caution and diligence and to the specific rules in force in the destination countries of the trip, to all the information provided to them by the organizer, as well as to the regulations and administrative or legislative provisions related to the tourist package. Travelers will be held responsible for any damages that the organizer and/or seller may suffer also due to non-compliance with the above obligations, including the expenses necessary for their return.
12.6. The organizer or seller who has granted compensation or a price reduction, or has paid compensation for damage or has been forced to fulfill other obligations provided for by law, has the right of recourse against those who have contributed to the occurrence of the circumstances or event from which the compensation, price reduction, damage compensation, or other obligations in question arose, as well as those necessary to provide assistance and accommodation services under other provisions, in the event that the traveler cannot return to the place of departure. The organizer or seller who has compensated the traveler substitutes, to the extent of the compensation paid, all the rights and actions of the latter against third parties responsible; the traveler provides the organizer or the seller with all the documents, information, and elements in his possession useful for exercising the right of subrogation (art. 51 quinquies CdT).
​
13. ORGANIZER'S LIABILITY SCHEME (ART. 42 CdT)
13.1. The Organizer is responsible for the execution of the tourist services provided by the tourist package contract, regardless of whether these tourist services must be provided by the organizer itself, its auxiliaries or supervisors in the exercise of their functions, by third parties used by it, or by other tourist service providers, pursuant to article 1228 of the civil code.
13.2. The traveler, pursuant to articles 1175 and 1375 of the civil code, reports to the Organizer, directly or through the seller, promptly, taking into account the circumstances of the case, any non-compliance found during the execution of a tourist service provided in the tourist package contract.
13.3. In the event that one of the tourist services is not carried out in accordance with the tourist package contract, the Organizer remedies the non-compliance, unless this is impossible or excessively burdensome, taking into account the extent of the non-compliance and the value of the tourist services affected by the defect. If the Organizer does not remedy the defect, article 43 applies.
13.4. Subject to the exceptions referred to in paragraph 3, if the Organizer does not remedy the non-compliance within a reasonable period set by the traveler in relation to the duration and characteristics of the package, with a dispute carried out pursuant to paragraph 2, the traveler may personally remedy the defect and request reimbursement of the necessary, reasonable, and documented expenses; if the Organizer refuses to remedy the non-compliance or if it is necessary to remedy it immediately, the traveler is not required to specify a term.
13.5. If a non-compliance, pursuant to article 1455 of the civil code, constitutes a breach of the tourist services included in a package and the Organizer has not remedied it within a reasonable period set by the traveler in relation to the duration and characteristics of the tourist package, with the dispute carried out pursuant to paragraph 2, the traveler may, without charge, automatically and with immediate effect terminate the tourist package contract or, if appropriate, request, pursuant to article 43, a price reduction, without prejudice to compensation for damages. In the event of termination of the contract, if the package included passenger transport, the Organizer also provides for the return of the traveler with equivalent transport without undue delay and without additional costs for the traveler.
13.6. Where it is not possible to ensure the return of the traveler, the Organizer must provide for the expenses of necessary accommodation, where possible of a category equivalent to that contractually provided, for a period not exceeding three nights per traveler or for the longer period possibly provided by European Union legislation on passenger rights, applicable to the relevant means of transport.
13.7. The limitation of costs referred to in paragraph 6 does not apply to persons with reduced mobility, defined in article 2, paragraph 1, letter a), of regulation (EC) no. 1107/2006 and their companions, pregnant women, unaccompanied minors, and persons in need of specific medical assistance, provided that the Organizer has received notification of their particular needs at least forty-eight hours before the start of the package. The Organizer cannot invoke inevitable and extraordinary circumstances to limit the liability under this paragraph if the transport service provider cannot assert the same circumstances under applicable European Union legislation.
13.8. If, due to circumstances not attributable to the Organizer, it is impossible to provide, during execution, a substantial part, in value or quality, of the set of tourist services agreed upon in the tourist package contract, the Organizer offers, without an increase in price charged to the traveler, adequate alternative solutions of quality, where possible equivalent or higher than those contractually provided, so that the execution of the package can continue, including the possibility that the return of the traveler to the place of departure is not provided as agreed. If the alternative solutions proposed result in a package of lower quality than that specified in the tourist package contract, the Organizer grants the traveler an appropriate price reduction.
13.9. The traveler may refuse the alternative solutions proposed only if they are not comparable to what was agreed upon in the tourist package contract or if the price reduction granted is inadequate.
13.10. If it is impossible to provide alternative solutions or if the traveler refuses the alternative solutions proposed, pursuant to paragraph 8, the traveler is granted a price reduction. In the case of non-compliance with the tender obligation referred to in paragraph 8, paragraph 5 applies.

14.1. The seller is responsible for the execution of the task entrusted to them by the traveler within the scope of the travel brokerage contract, regardless of whether the service is provided by the seller themselves, their auxiliaries or supervisors in the exercise of their functions, or by third parties whose work they use, having to fulfill the obligations undertaken, to be assessed with regard to the diligence required for the exercise of the corresponding professional activity.
14.2. The Seller is not responsible for booking errors attributable to the traveler or due to inevitable and extraordinary circumstances.

17.2. The organizer may charge a reasonable fee for such assistance if the problem is intentionally caused by the traveler or through their fault, within the limits of the actual expenses incurred.

 

18. INSURANCE AGAINST CANCELLATION COSTS AND RETURN (ART. 47, paragraph 10 CdT)
If not expressly included in the price, it is possible and advisable to take out specific insurance policies against the costs arising from the cancellation of the package, accidents and/or illnesses that also cover repatriation expenses and the loss and/or damage to luggage, at the time of booking and through the Seller. The rights arising from insurance contracts must be exercised by the traveler directly against the insurance companies, under the terms and conditions provided in the policies themselves, as reported in the policy conditions published in the catalogs or displayed in the brochures made available to Travelers at the time of departure.

19. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION TOOLS (ART. 36, paragraph 5, letter g) CdT)

In this case, the organizer will indicate the type of alternative resolution proposed and the effects that such adherence entails.

​

20. PROTECTION OF THE TRAVELER (ART. 47 CdT)

20.2. The organization contracts for travel packages are assisted by insurance policies or bank guarantees or issued by the Funds referred to in paragraph 3 of art. 47 of the CdT, which, for trips abroad and trips that take place within a single country, including travel in Italy, in cases of insolvency or bankruptcy of the organizer or seller, guarantee, without delay upon the traveler's request, the reimbursement of the price paid for the purchase of the package and the immediate return of the traveler in the event that the package includes the transportation of the traveler, as well as, if necessary, the payment of food and lodging before the return. The guarantee is effective, adequate to the volume of business, and covers the reasonably foreseeable costs, the amounts of payments made by or on behalf of travelers in relation to packages, taking into account the duration of the period between advance payments and the final balance and the completion of the packages, as well as the estimated cost for returns in the case of insolvency or bankruptcy of the organizer or seller.
20.3.

20.4. In the cases provided for in paragraph 2, as an alternative to the reimbursement of the price or immediate return, the traveler may be offered the continuation of the package under the terms of articles 40 and 42 CdT.

 

21. OPERATIONAL CHANGES
Considering the significant advance with which the catalogs containing information on the methods of using the services are published, it is noted that the times and routes of the flights indicated in the acceptance of the proposal for the purchase and sale of services may be subject to changes as they are subject to subsequent validation. For this purpose, the traveler must request confirmation of the services from their Travel Agency before departure. The Organizer will inform passengers about the identity of the actual carrier in the times and manner provided for by Article 11 of Reg. EC 2111/2005.

a) regulatory provisions
Contracts relating to the offer of only the transport service, the residence service, or any other separate tourist service, as they cannot be configured as a contractual case of travel organization or tourist package, are governed by the following provisions of the CCV: art. 1, no.3 and no.6; Arts. from 17 to 23; Arts. 24-31, regarding provisions other than those related to the organization contract and other reasons specifically related to the sale of the individual service subject to the contract.

(b) contractual conditions
The following clauses of the general conditions of sale of tourist packages also apply to these contracts: art. 4 1st paragraph; Art. 5; Article 7; Article 8; Article 9; art.10 1st paragraph; Article 11; Art. 15; Art. 17. The application of these clauses does not in any way determine the configuration of the related contracts as a tourist package. The terminology of the aforementioned clauses relating to the tourist package contract (organizer, travel, etc.) must therefore be understood with reference to the corresponding figures of the contract for the sale of individual tourist services (seller, stay, etc.).
