hotel reservation.

reservation fee must be paid, and the remaining balance must be paid no later

Discounted Product they purchased during the discounted sale period for any
reason without paying the CANCELLATION REFUND GUARANTEE FEE, they undertake to

hours later. In such cancellations, no refund will be made to the consumer.
f- If the consumer leaves the tour due to service defects,
they must inform the Travel Agency representative and the hotel where they
stayed in writing, along with the reasons. Otherwise, the consumer will not be
considered as leaving the tour and will be deemed to have used the service.

Travel Agency can be made individually to each consumer or generally through
announcements in two high-circulation newspapers in Turkey.
4- CHANGES

their discounted early booking product for any reason during the discount sales
period, an undiscounted reservation change will be made based on the list
prices valid on the date of their request.
b- In addition to the price increases of the early booking
period and/or all periods (excluding system errors), the difference is not
charged to the Consumer and refunds for discounts, referred to as action by the
facility, are not possible.
c- Our guide has the right to make changes to the places to
be visited on the program according to weather and road conditions.

minibus, 25-person midi-bus, or 40-person bus may be used. This situation is

a price difference will be requested.

another hotel of a similar category.
5 - CANCELLATION
a - Force majeure: If adverse weather conditions,
roadblocks, strikes, terrorism, war, the possibility of war, unpredictable
technical issues prevent the tour from starting or continuing, it shall be
deemed as force majeure by both parties. The illness or death of the traveler
or their first-degree relatives, which prevents their usual activities for 10
days, is also considered as force majeure.
b - The travel agency may partially or fully cancel the
tours it has announced or registered for if it deems necessary until 2 days
before the start of the tour. Within the same period, it may change the names
of the hotels included in the tour, the departure locations of the
transportation vehicles, and the visiting order of the places specified in the
program as places to be visited. If the consumer does not accept these changes
and cancellations, they have the right to cancel their reservation and receive
a full refund of the amount paid. In this case, the consumer does not have the
right to claim compensation.
6- GENERAL PROVISIONS
a- The consumer participating in the tour has the right to
carry and bring back 2 suitcases, not exceeding 50cm x 70cm in size, on all
kinds of tours, and 20 kg of baggage on air travel. The owners are responsible
for all kinds of suitcases and their contents.
b- Items that have a stinking, flowing, flammable,
explosive, or disturbing effect on the environment, cutting, piercing, and
firing weapons, and all kinds of animals are not allowed to be taken to
vehicles and accommodation facilities without the explicit and written
permission of the travel agency. The situation does not change if they have an identity
or permit.
c- In case of loss or damage of luggage or goods belonging
to the consumer, if it arises from the GROSS NEGLIGENCE of the Travel Agency
personnel, regardless of the value, characteristics, and properties of the lost
or damaged luggage or goods and the contents in it, 1/2 of the transportation
part within the total cost of the tour will be paid to the consumer, who is the
owner of the luggage and goods, by the Travel Agency as material and moral
compensation. The Travel Agency is responsible for any kind of loss, damage,
and theft of the goods delivered in writing to it by the consumer along with
their values, up to the transportation cost of the tour.
d- Visa passport procedures are the responsibility of the
consumer. If it is requested to follow visa procedures from Fox Tatil, it is
necessary to have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months and to deliver
all the necessary documents to Fox Tatil, with the visa and service fee paid,
at least 16 days before the departure date of the tour. Visa procedures can be
followed by Fox Tatil for a fee. Since visa procedures are completely at the
discretion of the consulates, Fox Tatil is not responsible for not obtaining a
visa. Fox Tatil has no responsibility for those who are not accepted into the
country as obtaining a visa does not guarantee entry to that country.
Therefore, no refund or compensation will be paid.
e- The travel agency is responsible for the changes that
occur after the start of the tour in the tour program purchased by the consumer.
The Travel Agency can compensate the consumer for obvious changes that are
against the consumer and have caused damage, in the form of price or service
refund, in accordance with the TÜRSAB KÜTAHYA SCHEDULE during or after the
trip. At the same time, it can compensate through additional services provided
during the trip that are not included in the price. The use or consumption of
additional or substitute services by the consumer cancels their right to a
refund and compensation.
f- Using the tour program purchased by the consumer until
the end despite complaining about it cancels the consumer's compensation rights
such as substitute services and price refunds related to the complained issues.
g- The terms and conditions of this contract, which were agreed
upon during registration between the travel agency and the consumer, have been
read by the consumer and signed by them, accepting and requesting the
registration of other individuals who they have informed will also be joining
the same trip under the same conditions.
h - Consumers who participate in the trip but do not have a
signature on the contract, and those who have entrusted other consumers to
register on their behalf, have the right to recourse for any excess amount paid
by the travel agency to the consumers who signed the contract in case the
travel agency is required to pay any compensation or fee related to the trip.
These consumers have also agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of
this contract, even if they have not signed it, due to learning about them
through catalogs and announcements related to the trip.
j - The travel agency acts as an intermediary between the
consumers who participate in the trip and third-party individuals and legal
entities such as hotels, transportation companies, and other service providers
related to the trip. Therefore, consumers who have registered with the travel
agency are aware that the agency is not directly responsible for any problems
that may arise from factors such as the delay or malfunctioning of
transportation, changes in the route, bad weather conditions, roadblocks,
strikes, terrorism, war, or unforeseeable technical issues, or from accidents
that cause material or moral damages or shortcomings or errors in the services
provided by the accommodation facilities. The parties acknowledge that the
travel agency has no primary responsibility as an operator and is not directly
and fully liable for such problems, as the responsibility falls mainly on the
actual perpetrators of the problems. The travel agency will only be responsible
to the extent of what cannot be collected from the actual perpetrators, and the
consumers may seek compensation from the travel agency only after they have
tried to get compensation from the actual perpetrators first.
k - In matters not specified in this contract, the
provisions of the 1618 CC, 4077 CC, 4288 CC, 2634 CC, IATA, IHA, UFTAA
Conventions, Civil Aviation Law, Turkish Code of Obligations, Turkish
Commercial Code, International Agreements to which Turkey is a party and the
Regulations, Directives, Circulars issued in connection therewith, and the
provisions of the internationally accepted Frankfurter Tabelle applied in
Turkey within the framework of the TÜRSAB Kütahya Schedule will be applied.
