3. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS REGARDING PRIVATE TOURS AND EVENTS

3.1 Cancellations and Changes

The customer can cancel or make changes to the reservations in person, by calling or via email.

3.2 Changes made by GCT

GCT reserves the right to make changes to the service or event provided that the customer can be offered a service of equal value. If unexpected increases in costs due to changes in taxes or other charges appear after GCT and the customer has entered an agreement, GCT can raise the price of the service or event with an amount corresponding to the increased costs. The customer must be informed of such changes as soon as possible.

If the event or service cannot be delivered according to the agreement and these terms and conditions, and GCT is unable to provide a service of equal value, the customer has the right to consider the agreement terminated. The customer has the right to consider the agreement terminated if the changes made to the agreement considerably weaken the service from the customer’s perspective. In the cases mentioned in this paragraph, GCT is required to fully refund the customer for all the payments and charges.

If the customer is not present within 10 minutes of the beginning of the service or event they have reserved, GCT is allowed to resell their reservation.

4. SERVICES INCLUDED TO PRIVATE TOURS AND EVENTS

4.1. The prices include (unless otherwise stated):

  1. Guide services
  2. Other services as agreed

For an extra fee, we offer bespoke transportation, dining, or help to organize accommodation services to be included in or paired with other events or services.

4.2.The customer’s responsibilities

The customer is responsible for making all the arrangements and handling all formalities not explicitly agreed on in the agreement made with GCT.

In applicable cases, the customer is responsible for the handling of all passport, visa, permit, and other related matters. GCT will accept no responsibility for any failures to do so.

The customer is expected to pay for the event or service by the date given in the confirmation of order or in a separate invoice. GCT can require a booking fee before confirming the order.

The customer is expected to notify GCT of any errors, mistakes, or lapses in the service or the quality of the service as soon as it is noticed. GCT must be given an opportunity to rectify the issue of complaint. Failure to make a complaint as soon as can reasonably be expected voids GCT of any responsibility.

GCT reserves the right to terminate the agreement if the customer or any member of the customer’s party behaves in a manner that significantly affects the overall quality of the service or if the customer or their party causes material or physical harm or damage. If the agreement is terminated immediately due to these reasons, GCT can charge the customer for the full value of the inflicted harm, with a minimum amount of 500€.

4.3.Complaints and disputes

The customer must contact GCT in all complaint related matters. Complaints must be made without delay to the GCT staff. If a complaint cannot be made immediately or if the matter cannot be rectified with a reasonable solution on-site or if the customer requires further compensation, a written complaint must be made via email (greencaptours@gmail.com) within a month after the service or event has concluded.

In applicable cases, GCT will compensate up to the full value of the service.

If an agreement cannot be reached regarding the matter, the customer may file a complaint with the Consumer Disputes Board or a local district court for resolution.

4.4.Force Majeure

GCT will not take responsibility or compensate the customer for any events caused by circumstances that could not have reasonably been foreseen or prevented by GCT when entering an agreement with the customer.

4.5.Handling of personal data

By making a reservation, the customer agrees that GCT will store their personal data. Storing the customer’s personal data is to ensure the quality and safety of the service. Green Cap Tours can use personal data to market their products, but it will never be distributed to any third party without the explicit permission of the customer.

5. DISCOUNTS – Applies to all tours and events

5.3. The customer is not eligible for a refund for any services they paid for but did not use.

5.4. GCT reserves the right to upgrade the service from what the reservation made by the customer requires. GCT is not responsible for offering the same upgrade to anyone else.
