No party will be held legally responsible for any losses or damages of nature incurred or suffered by that other party, as long as this failure or delay is the direct result of a Force Majeure event.

Any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our control includes (but is not limited to):

• Strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action.
• Civil commotion, riot, invasion, cyber-attack, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war.
• Fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disasters.

• Interruption or failure of utility service (including the inability to use public or private telecommunications networks).
• The acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.
• Other causes, beyond our reasonable control.

We will use our reasonable endeavors to minimize any delay caused by Force Majeure or to find a solution by which our obligations under these Terms of Use or any related contract between us may be performed despite the Force Majeure event.

In case of Force Majeure Event:

Your reservation MUST be cancelled prior to the scheduled departure date or you risk forfeiture of the value of the tickets and no refund, rebooking or rerouting option may apply. Your entire tickets will be lost. If you’ve already submitted an application for a refund, take note that your refund may take a little longer than normal to complete with the sheer number of passengers that were impacted.

As a Travel Agency we are committed to follow the established policy and try to prescribe an alternative resolution that will suit both sides. Airlines might offer waivers to cancel, postpone trips or provide a refund to the passengers that might be accessible in case a specific flight that was affected is canceled. In case that you request any changes and/or modifications caused by force majeure circumstances are needed in your original booking (cancellation or modification), in addition to the terms and conditions of the airline company, our processing fees will apply.

Cancel/Credit:

Allows you to cancel now and book new flights at a later date once you are ready to travel again. New flights must be within the airline’s requirements, which usually consist of a rebooking deadline or travel-must-commence-by date. These are typically 1 year after the date of purchase. This is the preferred and faster option as per the airline' rules and policies, as not all airlines are allowing refund option.

Change:

Some airlines are waiving their penalty fees to allow you to book new flights. New flights are subject to airline restrictions and fare difference. Changes are only allowed for unflown flights. When you request to change your flight with us, we will handle fulfilling your request with the airline on your behalf.

Refund:

If you cannot change your flights, you may be entitled to a refund. Some airlines are allowing some tickets to be refunded even if you purchased non-refundable tickets. Refunds are usually only available for unflown flights. When you request a refund with us, we will cancel your booking and will handle fulfilling your request with the airline on your behalf.

The Travel Agent will provide refunds based on the circumstances of the case, and only when the following conditions are met:

(i) an airline cancels or significantly changes a flight,

(ii) an airline acknowledges that a consumer is entitled to a refund, and

(iii) passenger funds are possessed by a ticket agent.

If these conditions aren't met, the Travel agent will not make any refunds, or the obligation to provide a refund, according to DOT Enforcement Notices, belongs to the airlines/ carriers.

IMPORTANT:

• Our company services are provided in full by our agents, by services we mean processing any requests made by the customer to cancel, change the flight or refund requests, so for these services offered by our company a separate reduced fee will be charged.
• Our company has no influence and therefore cannot be held liable for the outcome of the cancel/change/refund process, which is a total discretion of the airlines. Nevertheless, the fee paid to process your request, which is not the airline's fee to cancel/change/refund the ticket, is a service provided by our company and cannot be returned.
