The cancellation insurance can only be claimed in the event of: an accident, death or deterioration of the health of the insured person or close relatives (basic insurance). At the express request of the traveller, an expanded insurance can be arranged (instead of the regular one), which covers, in addition to the above cases, additional cases: property damage at the place of residence (due to natural disasters, fire, explosion, robbery or theft), a call by judicial and administrative authorities, which makes him unable to travel, unexpected loss of permanent employment, admission to a new job (if he is not entitled to regular leave), lack of snow during the ski season, due to an epidemic/pandemic outbreak, in case the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia formally discourages travel, organ transplantation for which the insured person learns after the conclusion of the travel contract, treatment at the spa, the start of which is notified to the insured person after the conclusion of the travel contract. The fee in this case is approx. 5.7% of the value of the arrangement. In the event that the traveller submits proof that he or she cannot travel but has not paid the insurance fee, the agency shall withhold the travel cancellation refund. In the event of cancellation risk insurance, the General Terms and Conditions of Zavarovalnica Sava Insurance Company apply.

The traveller is obliged to notify the Gradtur Agency immediately in writing or verbally of the occurrence of the insured event, and shall be obliged to submit valid relevant documents. If the traveller does not attend the trip and does not cancel the trip (in writing or verbally) immediately after the occurrence of the insured event, as well as if he does not provide adequate written proof (medical certificate, hospital certificate, ...) of the justified reason for the cancellation, he is not entitled for reimbursement. The insurance claim cannot be claimed after the starting date of the trip, as well as for the unused portion of the trip.

Regardless of the paid insurance fee, the Gradtur Agency is entitled to reimbursement of administrative costs (15 EUR) and the right to withhold the amount of the insurance fee. In addition, the Gradtur Agency is not responsible for any other costs incurred by the traveller as a result of the planned trip or other tourist service under the travel contract (e.g. costs of supplementary health insurance, vaccination costs, visas, etc.).

Is the credit note legally accepted?
YES

- If we, as an agency, will not be able to carry out the arrangement due to force majeure, you will receive a credit not in the amount of your payment (credit), which you can use for travel in our organization within 24 months from the date of issuance.
- The booked arrangement can be cancelled now in writing. We will deal with your cancellation according to the general terms and conditions, which means that we retain the percentage according to the cancellation scale, the cost of the registration fee, the cost of insurance, the cost of visas and the like. For the rest of the amount, we will issue a credit note with a validity of 24 months.
- More information about the credit notes can be found at the link: https://www.gov.si/novice/2020-05-04-odpoved-turisticnih-aranzmajev-zaradi-epidemije-covid-19-vrednotnice/.


WE RECOMMEND: If you want to go on a trip, we advise you to wait with the cancellation of the holiday to avoid the cost of cancellation. If the circumstances at the time of your departure allow the trip to take place, you will be able to take part in it, otherwise the trip will be canceled due to force majeure and the cancellation fee will not be charged. However, if your decision is final and you want to redirect or cancel your trip, please report it to our Duty Center.

15. COVID 19 - EXPLANATION
COVID explanation: the addition (placing) of a country to the black / red / orange / yellow list (advice against travel to the country) by the Slovenian or foreign competent institution does not mean force majeure and free termination. Hoteliers/campsites/accommodation facilities and partners can still charge cancellation costs under the general terms and conditions. All possible administrative restrictions and related costs are obligation of the passenger (eg covid testing, covid vaccination, mandatory quarantine upon return from the trip or to the destination). These administrative restrictions are not grounds for cancellation free of charge.

16. INTERNET
Dear Sir or Madam, if the property is marked with free Wi-Fi internet, this does not mean that the internet works at high speed. In campsites/hotels/apartment complexes with a capacity of a few tens, hundreds or even a few thousand people, the facilities' networks simply cannot withstand this and work very slowly. Sometimes the internet is only fast enough to read some mail or to reply to some mail.

If you have some serious work, we advise you to lease data transfer from your mobile operator. You can also buy a data card in your country of residence. Usually the cost is around 10-15 EUR/7 days.

17. NOTE - children
When entering persons for price calculation and correct discounts, it is necessary to take into account the age order of the of persons: first, the oldest person is entered and then the persons must be entered according to age – from oldest to youngest. If this is not not taken into account, Gradtur d.o.o. has the right to cancel a reservation.

18 NOTE
Upon payment of the advance or the total amount, the customer accepts the General Terms and Conditions in their entirety.
