In the final documentation of the trip, in vouchers sent to clients, the definitive details about the route, itineraries, flights, price and services included in the reserved program is included.
The act of registering for the trip and the consideration of booking require that the client has paid a deposit whose amount will be notified, between 30 and 50% of the total amount budgeted according to the advance reservation, except that the economic conditions of the suppliers impose the advanced payment of another amount. Failing that, the remaining amount must be paid at least 45 days before the departure date and, in any case, on the date determined in writing by the tour operator (Luxotren.com). If the total price of the trip is not paid under the indicated conditions, it will be understood that the consumer withdraws from the requested trip, and the conditions set forth in the section on withdrawal or cancellation of the trip will be applied. Payment for a trip can be made in different ways: by bank transfer to the account number of Luxotren.com S.L. indicated for this purpose, by credit card either personally at an agency or by virtual POS or secure payment platform and in cash at our offices. With each payment, the client obtains a receipt that justifies the payment of said amount for the concept indicated for the reservation of his trip.
Payments in cash: In compliance with current legal regulations, we cannot accept cash payments for trips whose cost is greater than 1,000 € or its equivalent in another currency.
3. PRICES
The price of the combined trip includes the detailed services as included in the description or technical sheet and the value added tax when applicable; and it is understood to be valid during the season indicated. Prices are based on transportation rates (including the cost of fuel), currency exchange rates, rates and taxes in force at the beginning of each calendar year, when programming and forecasts are carried out. Any variation in the price of the aforementioned elements may lead to the revision of the final price of the trip. These modifications will be notified to the consumer, who, in the event that the modification made exceeds 15% of the price of the trip, may withdraw from the trip without any penalty, or accept the modification of the contract. In no case will prices be revised upwards in the twenty days prior to the departure date of the trip, with respect to requests already made and confirmed.
The price of the trip does not include visas, taxes, vaccination certificates, extras and, in general, any service not specified as "included", unless otherwise indicated in the technical specifications of the trip.
4. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ORGANIZING AGENCY
The organizing agency will be liable for the consequences derived from the non-execution of the contract in proportion to its intervention in the management of the combined trip.
It is exempt from this responsibility in the following cases:
- That the defects observed in the execution of the contract are attributable to the consumer and user.
- That said defects are attributable to a third party unrelated to the provision of the services provided for in the contract and are of an unpredictable or insurmountable nature.
- That the aforementioned defects are due to reasons of force majeure, understanding as such those circumstances beyond the control of the person who invokes them, abnormal and unforeseeable (including weather circumstances) whose consequences could not have been avoided, despite having acted with the necessary diligence.
- That the defects are due to an event that the retailer, or the organizer, despite having put all the necessary diligence, could not foresee or overcome.
In the cases of exclusion of liability contemplated in paragraphs b), c) and d), the organizer will be obliged to provide the necessary assistance to the consumer who is in difficulty. However, the costs of accommodation, transportation, maintenance, repatriation or others caused by these incidents will not be the responsibility of the Organizing Agency.
When the trip is made in their own vehicles or vehicles rented by the Organizing Agency, in the event of an accident, regardless of the country where it occurs, the traveler expressly submits to the legislation on accidents of the country in which the vehicle is registered.
Since they are common and frequent in passenger transport, it is worth highlighting the cases of incidents in Air Transport, such as denied boarding for any reason unrelated to the organization (lack of proper documentation, expired passports, in poor condition or with less than 6 months of validity, absence of visas, internal airport security, immigration conditions, sanitary measures...), cancellations, changes or delays in flights with or without missed connections; loss, delay or damage to baggage; changes in the route for reasons of air safety, weather… etc. In these cases, it is the traveler who must manage the claim for their rights as a passenger in the same place where the events occur (usually at the airport itself by filling out a P.I.R form) and before the management company or competent authorities (airline, airport management, airport security, customs or immigration department...), to obtain all the necessary documentation that justifies, confirms and describes the event for immediate or subsequent actions. The air ticket is, for legal purposes, the legal contract between both parties: the carrier (the airline) and passenger.
(*) We remind you that in these cases the travel agency has no liability or legal responsibility as these are unforeseeable situations caused by a third party. However, as an added value of customer service, Luxotren.com puts all the necessary human resources to help and advise the traveler in these incidents, mediate, as well as activate the action procedures and opening of the file before the insurance in his case to expedite the procedures in case of having it contracted. We insist that this work of the agencies is not contractual, habitual or frequent, just a business decision, for which understanding is requested and a positive attitude is recommended from travelers affected by this type of inconvenience, inherent per se to travel and air transport in general, recommending patience and willingness, which always offers better results and faster and more effective responses.

In the cases in which the realization of a trip is subject to having a minimum number of participants, and so specified, the Agency may cancel the trip in the event that this minimum number of participants is not reached, notifying it with a minimum of 15 days before the scheduled departure date.
Likewise, the Agency can also cancel a trip due to force majeure, understanding as such those circumstances beyond the control of the person who invokes them, abnormal and unforeseeable, when the consequences of those circumstances could not have been avoided despite having acted with due diligence.
In both cases, the consumer will be entitled to reimbursement of the amounts paid, except for management expenses and contracted insurance.

In the event that the trip offered is of inferior quality, the Organizer or the retailer must reimburse the consumer, where appropriate, based on the amounts already paid, the difference in price in accordance with the contract. In these cases, the Organizer will be responsible for paying the consumer the compensation that, if applicable, corresponds to breach of contract, which will be 5% of the total price of the contracted trip, if said breach occurs between two months and 15 days immediately prior to the scheduled date of the trip; 10% if it occurs between the previous 15 days and 3 days, and 25% in the event that the aforementioned breach occurs in the previous 48 hours.

All people registered on a trip are responsible for having the necessary documentation in order for entry and free movement by the country being visited (D.N.I., passport, visas, sanitary measures, etc.). Regarding inquiries, the agency acts as an informer, but it is always the client's ultimate responsibility to confirm before the competent authorities.
The client expressly assumes the processing of the management and obtaining of these documents with the necessary prior time for the start of the trip (visas, passports, health cards,...), being the latter the one who assumes the expenses of the consular fees and management of said documents. documents.
