Terms and Conditions

This agreement applies as between you, the User of our Services and 7C Travel and Tours, the provider of the Services, both offline and online. Your agreement to comply with and be bound by these terms and conditions is deemed to occur upon your first use of the Services. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms and conditions, you should not use the Services.  

7C Travel and Tours provides the following Services: 

a) International and Domestic Airfare 

b) International and Domestic Hotel Bookings 

c) International and Domestic Tour Only 

d) International and Domestic Tour Packages 

e) Domestic Ferry Tickets 

f) Visa Assistance  

g) Travel Insurance  

7C Travel and Tours acts as an intermediary in various ways: 

a) Within the framework of the brokerage of package tours, this also includes individual service modules which are offered by tour operators as package tours.  

b) In the context of the brokerage of individual travel services which are not offered as individual service modules by a tour operator as a package tour, such as the brokerage of only one single flight or of only one single hotel accommodation.  

c) In the form of the brokerage of combined travel services, i.e., different types of travel services which are not package tours and which are brokered within a time frame of 24 hours in a specifically coordinated manner for the purpose of the same trip, e.g., the brokerage of a flight together with the brokerage of hotel accommodation.   

1 Legal position of 7C Travel and Tours 

1.1 7C Travel and Tours offers individual travel services of third-party service providers as well as package tours of third-party tour operators exclusively as an agent. In the event of a booking, the contract shall be concluded exclusively between the customer on the one hand and the provider of the relevant individual travel service(s)/package tour(s) on the other. 

1.2 7C Travel and Tours is therefore not liable for the information provided by the service provider(s) or tour operator(s) on prices and services, not for the provision of the service itself and also not for compensation for damages from these mediated services or from mediated package tours. 

1.3 This does not apply insofar as 7C Travel and Tours gives the appearance of providing contractually agreed travel services on his own responsibility. Furthermore, this does not apply insofar as 7C Travel and Tours is to be regarded as a tour operator.  

2 Conclusion of contract, applicable law 

2.1 With the acceptance of the customer's brokerage order by 7C Travel and Tours, the travel brokerage contract comes into effect between the customer and 7C Travel and Tours as an agency contract. Order and acceptance do not require any particular form and can also be declared conclusively. 

2.2 If the order is placed electronically (e-mail, Internet), 7C Travel and Tours will immediately confirm receipt of the order electronically. This confirmation of receipt does not constitute a confirmation of acceptance of the brokerage order. Internet offers of 7C Travel and Tours are not offers in the legal sense of a binding contract offer. 

2.3 The mutual rights and obligations of the customer and 7C Travel and Tours arise, insofar as this does not conflict with mandatory statutory provisions, from the contractual agreements made in the individual case (in particular on the type and scope of the brokerage order), these travel agency terms and conditions and the statutory provisions on the provision of services against payment.   

3. Position and obligations of the agent  

3.1 In accordance with EU Regulation No. 2111/2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers, the agent is obliged to inform the passenger of the identity of the operating airline at the time of booking. If the operating airline has not yet been determined at the time of booking, the agent shall provide the passenger with the information available from the intermediary company about the airline that is likely to operate the flight. 

3.2 In the event of a change of airline, the customer shall be informed of the change without delay. The contractual relationship between the customer and the airline shall be governed by the statutory provisions of the Air Transport Act, the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions and directly, as applicable, by domestic statutory provisions. 

3.3 The Customer is strongly advised to inform himself about his rights as a passenger, e.g., through the notices in the airports, through the information provided by the operating air carrier. 

3.4 In accordance with EU Regulation No. 2111/2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers, 7C Travel and Tours is obliged to inform the passenger of the identity of the operating air carrier at the time of booking. If the operating airline has not yet been determined at the time of booking, 7C Travel and Tours shall provide the passenger with the information available from the intermediary company about the airline that will probably operate the flight. In the event of a change of airline, the customer shall be informed of the change without delay.   

4 Obligations of 7C Travel and Tours with regard to entry regulations, visas and insurances 

4.1 If 7C Travel and Tours takes over, against payment or free of charge, the registration for the customer within the framework of electronic systems for obtaining entry permits as a prerequisite for entry into or transit through certain countries, the following shall apply: The assumption of this activity shall not constitute an obligation on the part of 7C Travel and Tours, without express agreement, to make further enquiries or provide information about entry or transit formalities or about transit stays on the trip and, in particular, not to procure visas. The customer is advised that the electronic entry permit does not replace the final entry permit by the border authorities of the respective country. 

4.2 7C Travel and Tours is not obliged to procure visas or other documents required for the travel without a special, express agreement. In the event that such an order is accepted, 7C Travel and Tours may, without express agreement, demand reimbursement of the expenses incurred by him, which he could reasonably consider necessary under the circumstances. 7C Travel and Tours can demand remuneration for his work if this has been agreed upon or if the work was only owed against corresponding remuneration according to the circumstances. 

4.3 7C Travel and Tours is not liable for the issuing of visas and other documents and not for their timely receipt. This does not apply if the circumstances decisive for the non-issuance or the delayed receipt have been culpably caused or contributed to by 7C Travel and Tours. 

4.4 There shall be no obligation to provide information, advice or consultation regarding the necessity, scope, coverage and insurance conditions of travel insurance, in particular travel health insurance and travel cancellation insurance, insofar as no express agreement has been made in this regard. 

4.5 When arranging travel insurance, the customer's attention is drawn to the fact that the insurance conditions of the arranged travel insurance may contain special contractual conditions and / or obligations to cooperate on the part of the customer, in particular exclusions of liability (e.g., in the case of pre-existing conditions), deadlines for notification of claims and deductibles. The agent shall not be liable insofar as the brokered travel insurer has a right to refuse performance vis-à-vis the customer on the basis of validly agreed insurance conditions.  

5. Documents About Mediated Travel Services or Mediated Package Tours 

5.1 Both the customer and 7C Travel and Tours are obligated to check the contractual and other documents of the respective brokered travel companies, which were handed over to the customer by 7C Travel and Tours, in particular booking confirmations, flight tickets, hotel vouchers, visas, insurance policies and other documents concerning brokered travel services or brokered package tours for correctness and completeness, in particular for conformity with the booking and the brokerage order. 

5.2 Insofar as such documents are not sent directly to the customer by the intermediary travel company, they shall be handed over by the travel intermediary by handing them over at the travel intermediary's business premises or, at the travel intermediary's discretion, by sending them by post or electronically, insofar as the customer is not entitled to a travel confirmation in paper form in the case of the intermediation of a package tour.  

6. The Customer’s Duty to Cooperate With 7c Travel and Tours 

6.1 The customer must inform 7C Travel and Tours of any errors or deficiencies in 7C Travel and Tours' services which are apparent to him immediately after they have been discovered. This includes, in particular, incorrect or incomplete details of personal customer data, other information, information and documents about the brokered package tour, as well as the incomplete execution of brokerage services (e.g., bookings or reservations not made). 

6.2 If the customer fails to give notice in accordance with Clause 6.1, the following shall apply: 

a) If the customer fails to give notice in accordance with Clause 6.1 through no fault of his own, his claims shall not lapse. 

b) The customer's claims against 7C Travel and Tours shall lapse insofar as 7C Travel and Tours proves that the customer would not have suffered a loss or would not have suffered a loss in the amount claimed by the customer if the customer had properly notified 7C Travel and Tours. This applies in particular insofar as 7C Travel and Tours proves that immediate notification by the customer would have enabled 7C Travel and Tours to remedy the defect or reduce the damage, e.g., by rebooking, additional booking or cancellation with the intermediated package tour operator. 

c) Claims of the customer in the event of a failure to notify a defect shall not be forfeited in the case of damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health which is due to an intentional or negligent breach of duty on the part of 7C Travel and Tours or a legal representative or vicarious agent of 7C Travel and Tours in the case of claims for compensation for other damage, which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by 7C Travel and Tours or a legal representative or vicarious agent of 7C Travel and Tours in the event of a breach of an essential duty, the fulfilment of which is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the agency contract or the breach of which jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract. Liability for booking errors remains unaffected. 

6.3 The customer is requested in his own interest to inform 7C Travel and Tours of any special needs or restrictions with regard to the requested travel service or package tour.  

7. General contractual obligations of the agent, information, advice 

7.1 The customer shall be advised in the best possible way on the basis of these Agency Terms and Conditions. If requested, the agent will then make the booking enquiry with the service providers or tour operators. After confirmation by the service provider or tour operator, the duty to perform includes the handing over of the documents concerning the arranged travel service(s). This does not apply if it has been agreed that the service provider or tour operator will send the documents directly to the customer. 

7.2 When providing information and advice, the agent is liable within the framework of the law and the contractual agreements for the correct selection of the source of information and the correct passing on to the customer. A contract for the provision of information with a main contractual obligation to provide information shall only be concluded if a corresponding express agreement has been made. The agent is not liable for the correctness of information provided, unless a special information contract has been concluded. 

7.3 In the absence of an express agreement, the agent is not obliged to determine and/or offer the most favorable provider of the requested travel service. 

7.4 In the absence of an express agreement, the agent shall not assume any guarantee with regard to information on prices, services, booking conditions and other circumstances of the travel service and no procurement guarantee within the meaning of this provision with regard to information on the availability of the services to be arranged by the agent. 

7.5 The agent accepts special requests only for forwarding to the service provider or tour operator to be arranged. Unless otherwise expressly agreed, the agent is not responsible for the fulfilment of such special requests. These are also not a condition or contractual basis for the brokerage order or for the booking declaration of the customer to be transmitted by the broker to the service provider or tour operator. It is pointed out to the customer that special requests usually only become part of the contractual obligations of the service provider or tour operator with the express confirmation of the service provider or tour operator.  

8 Price and Payment 

8.1 The Price payable for the Services is detailed in the accepted quotation. 

8.2 We reserve the right, by giving notice you at any time before providing the Services, to increase the price of the Services to reflect any increase in the cost which is due to any factor beyond our control (such as, without limitation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labor), any change in deliverables, quantities or specifications for the Services which you have requested, or any delay caused by you resulting from any of your instructions or failure to give us adequate information, consents or instructions.  

8.3 Except as otherwise stated, and unless otherwise agreed in writing between us, all prices are exclusive of Taxes, and you shall be responsible for all Taxes applicable under this Agreement.  

8.4 All payments and deposits required to be made pursuant to this Agreement by you shall, unless otherwise specified in writing, be made immediately upon placing the order and as set out in the accepted quotation, without any set-off, withholding or deduction.  

9. Liability of 7C Travel and Tours 

9.1 Insofar as 7C Travel and Tours has not assumed a corresponding contractual obligation through express agreement with the customer, he shall not be liable for the conclusion of contracts with the travel companies to be arranged. 

9.2 7C Travel and Tours shall not be liable for defects and damages incurred by the customer in connection with the brokered travel service. This does not apply in the case of an express agreement or assurance in this regard by 7C Travel and Tours, especially if this deviates considerably from the service description of the brokered travel company. 

9.3 Any liability of 7C Travel and Tours arising from the culpable breach of travel agent obligations remains unaffected by the above provisions.  

10. Important information about insurances 

10.1 7C Travel and Tours points out the possibility of taking out travel cancellation insurance at the time of booking in order to minimize the cost risk in the event of cancellations by the customer. 

10.2 The customer is also advised that travel cancellation insurance does not usually cover the damage that may arise due to a cancellation of the use of brokered travel services or brokered package tours after their commencement, even if this is not the customer's fault. As a rule, separate travel interruption insurance must be taken out for this case. 

10.3 7C Travel and Tours also recommends that sufficient health insurance cover be taken out for trips abroad.  

11. Privacy
