    Categorization and Service Description
    Accommodation facilities offered in Gulliver Travel programs are described according to the official categorization of the respective country, valid at the moment of the program publication. Diet, modern conveniences and all other services offered by hotels/apartments are supervised by local tourist boards, while the standards of accommodation and services differ and are not comparable. Gulliver Travel assumes no responsibility for any verbal or written information differing from the description of services and facilities in the published programs obtained from a third party.

Room/Apartment Accommodation
    Rooms/apartments are distributed by the reception desk at the place of staying. Unless the Customer has explicitly booked a specific room/apartment they shall accept any officially registered accommodation unit for rent in the specific facility described in the catalogue and the price list. Accommodation in the room/apartment is usually not possible before 4.00 p.m. on the service start date, and the Customers usually must leave the rooms/apartments by 10.00 a.m. on the service end date. Arrivals after 8.00 p.m. must be advised in advance, unless otherwise indicated. Pets are allowed in particular cases with an obligatory additional fee.

The Cost of Booking per Request and the Cost of Booking Change
    The cost of booking at the time when there are no availabilities for the requested packages is HRK 80.00. By receiving the payment of the stated amount, Gulliver Travel accepts the booking per request and secures the additional place (place per request). If the additional place is secured and accepted by the Customer, the previously paid cost of booking per request shall be included in the price of the package.
    If Gulliver Travel is unable to confirm the booking per request, the amount paid for the booking per request shall be fully refunded to the Customer.
    Declining the offered booking shall result in Gulliver Travel keeping the paid amount for the purpose of covering the cost of booking per request.

Cancellation Policy
    If a Customer should cancel the booking, Gulliver Travel shall keep the following amounts from the full package price:

Cancellation fee of 35% is charged if cancelled 999 days or less before the event

Cancellation fee of 50% is charged if cancelled 44 days or less before the event

Cancellation fee of 100% is charged if cancelled 15 days or less before the event

­ 

The stated costs of cancellation shall also apply to changes of the departure date or the type of the accommodation facility, i.e. the type of the room/apartment, and to all other major changes. A cancellation scale that may differ from the stated one is included in a specific program and catalogue to which it refers. If a Customer cancelling the tour finds a new beneficiary of the same booking, who meets the anticipated requirements, Gulliver Travel shall charge only the costs caused by the replacement. If all packages should be cancelled, the costs for obtaining visa/s or travel documents are not refunded. If a Customer cancels the tour or shortens the travel due to bad weather conditions, Gulliver Travel shall apply the above mentioned scale and subsequent complaints shall not be acknowledged.

Insurance from Risk of Cancellation
    If, during the booking of a tour, a Customer anticipates they may have to cancel the tour due to unexpected obstacles, in order to avoid the costs of the tour cancellation stated in the part of these Terms and Conditions titled “Cancellation Policy”, they can pay the insurance from the risk of cancellation. The insurance from the risk of cancellation is charged at the time of entering into the Contract and may not be paid subsequently. The insurance premium is calculated based on the value of the tour, according to the price list of the insurance company. When renting an apartment, it is obtained by dividing the rent price with the number of persons in the apartment.
    An unanticipated obstacle has occurred if any of the following circumstances have taken effect:

1. Serious illness or death:
    of the insured person – of their spouse,
    of their child,
    of their parent, brother or sister or sibling’s spouse,
    adoptive child or adoptive parent;
    2. Natural disaster declared as such by authorized institutions;
    3. Military service.

In case the tour package is cancelled, the paid premium for insurance from the risk of cancellation shall not be refunded. Also, in case the tour is cancelled, the cost of obtaining visas shall not be refunded regardless of the Customer having the insurance from the risk of cancellation. If the Customer has not paid insurance from the risk of cancellation, and they must cancel the tour due to the stated unanticipated obstacles, Gulliver Travel reserves the right of payment according to the part of these Terms and Conditions titled “Cancellation Policy”. Other Terms and Conditions of insurance shall be enclosed with the insurance policy.

Insurance from consequences of accident and illness, insurance from risk of damage and loss of baggage and voluntary health insurance of persons during travelling and staying abroad
    Tour prices do not include the insurance from the risk of accident and illness while travelling, nor do they include the insurance from the risk of damage and loss of baggage or voluntary health insurance. By signing the tour Contract, with these Terms and Conditions as its integral part, it is understood that additional insurances stated in the previous paragraph have been offered and recommended to Customers. If the Customer should request the stated insurances, these may be contracted directly with an insurer or through Gulliver Travel, whereby Gulliver Travel acts only as a mediator.
    We recommend that you study the insurance terms carefully before purchasing the policies.

Cancellation by Gulliver Travel or Change of Program
    If the sufficient number of passengers has not booked the program, Gulliver Travel reserves the right to cancel the travel no later than 5 days prior to the tour start date. The minimum number of passengers required for a specific travel shall be specially marked on each program/package. Gulliver Travel also reserves the right to a full or partial change of the tour program in case extraordinary circumstances should occur that could not have been anticipated or avoided before the tour start date. Gulliver Travel reserves the right to change the date or the time of the departure due to a change in the flight schedule or the onset of unanticipated circumstances, as well as the right to change the itinerary if there should be a change in travel conditions such as: the changed flight schedule, safety conditions in a country, (unfavorable) weather conditions without compensating the damages, and according to the current regulations in the international traffic. If the tour is cancelled by Gulliver Travel, the Customer shall be entitled to the full refund of the amount paid, not including the compensation of damages.

Travel Documents
    Customers must have valid personal travel documents. Invalid documents leading to the cancellation of the travel shall not result in any harmful consequences for Gulliver Travel, and, if Gulliver Travel should suffer additional damages due to such an omission by a Customer, the Customer must compensate the damages suffered. If a travel document should be lost or stolen during travel, the costs of issuing new documents shall be borne by the Customer. Gulliver Travel’s guide shall assist the Customer in such a situation, taking care of the normal course of the program thereby. If a certain travel requires a visa, Gulliver Travel may assist in obtaining such visa at a special additional fee. Gulliver Travel shall not be held responsible for decisions by customs or police or other state authorities banning passenger's entry into a particular country.

Foreign Exchange and Customs Regulations
    Customers must comply with all foreign exchange and customs regulations, laws and other by-laws of the Republic of Croatia and other countries through which they travel and where they stay.
    If the tour cannot be continued because a Customer has violated the regulations, all incurred costs shall be borne solely by the person having violated the regulations.

Complaints
    Complaints are submitted in a written form.
    We emphasize that it is in the interest of the Traveler to make sure that every complaint is enclosed in writing and the service provider will endeavor to provide the agreed service, i.e. correct the mistakes.
    If no improvement is made even after the complaint, the Customer should ask for a certificate from which it is evident that the service was not provided, i.e. that it was not provided in the stipulated way. The Customer must enclose the certificate to their written complaint. The Customer is to make a written complaint no later than 7 days after the travel has ended. If the Customer should make a written complaint after the expiry of that term, Gulliver Travel is not obliged to take such a complaint into consideration. For resolving the complaints regarding services abroad, one must comply with the rule of reporting the complaint with the issue of certificate on the spot, and the deadline for submitting the complaint.

The organizer must make a written decision regarding the complaint within 14 days of receiving the complaint, and it may postpone the term for making the decision about the complaint by another 14 days on account information gathering.
    The organizer shall resolve only those complaints which could not have been eliminated at the Customer’s destination. While the resolution of the complaint is in process, but no longer than 14, i.e. 28 days after lodging the complaint, the Customer waives the right to mediation of any other person, the arbitration by UHPA or another institution, and undertakes not to provide media with the information. In this time period, the Customer also waives the right to sue. The maximum amount of compensation per complaint may reach the amount of the advertised part of services, but it may not include the services already used, or the entire package amount. When entering into the “Fortuna System” contract, the Customer has no right to a complaint. The Customer and Gulliver Travel shall attempt to resolve disputes amicably, and, on the contrary, they stipulate the competence of the court in Zagreb. The competent law shall be the Croatian law.
