In such cancellations, no fee refund can be made to the consumer.

III- GENERAL PROVISIONS
1) Responsibility for luggage and its contents lies entirely with the owner. The consumer is obligated to comply with the laws and customs applicable to the vehicle they will travel in and the facility where they will stay.
2) In cases of baggage loss or damage caused by gross negligence of the provider; if the consumer arranges for a LOSS OR DAMAGE REPORT to be drawn up with the provider, regardless of the material and moral value and other characteristics of the items inside the baggage, half (1/2) of the portion of the total tour cost attributable to transportation will be paid by the agency to the item-owning consumer as material and moral compensation for the lost or damaged goods and suitcase. The agency is liable for any loss, damage, or theft of declared items with their values submitted in writing, up to the amount of the tour's transportation fee.
3) VISA PROCESSES and SERVICES are not included in the purchased service. If requested, the agency may assist guests with application procedures for visa processes within the scope of fees. Since the parties involved in visa processes mediated by the agency are directly the passenger and the consulate, the agency is not responsible for any problems that may arise.
4) The agency is responsible for reasons other than force majeure occurring after the start of the service, situations for which the consumer is responsible, and situations arising from the personal liability of third parties. In cases within the agency's responsibility, the consumer may be compensated either by refund of price or service in accordance with the provisions of the TÜRSAB Kütahya Schedule, or alternatively by providing supplementary and/or alternative arrangements not included in the price and given to the consumer during the tour. Acceptance and use of supplementary or substitute services by the consumer eliminates the right to refund and compensation.
5) The consumer accepts that they will comply with the rules communicated by the guide, facility, agency, and transportation vehicle authorities regarding the purchased service; that they will respect the life, property, and peace of third parties; and that failure to do so constitutes just cause for not receiving the service, with no right to refund.
6) If the consumer leaves the tour claiming the performed service was defective, they must notify the Agency Representative and the hotel where they stayed in writing, stating the reasons. Otherwise, the consumer will not be considered to have left the tour and will be deemed to have received and used the service.
7) It is the duty of the good-faith consumer to cooperate and act diligently by notifying the Agency in writing about any complaints during the performance of the service.
8) Consumers (who did not sign the contract but participated in the service subject to the contract) are deemed to have accepted and undertaken the terms of this contract by reading and signing it through the consumer(s) they appointed to register in their name. The agency reserves the right of recourse to collect any excess amounts or service fees paid to the consumer(s) who signed the contract.
9) According to Article 12 of Law No. 1618; if a package tour service is purchased, cases of partial or complete non-delivery of the package tour are covered by insurance. The coverage limit is equal to the package tour fee.
10) For tours departing abroad, in accordance with the law, children under 18 years old traveling separately from their mother or father must obtain a notarized consent letter from the parent not accompanying the child and must travel with this document.
11) The consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract by applying in writing to the agency within (7) days from the date this contract becomes effective for the performance of the service subject to the contract to themselves or the person indicated, and by submitting original tour registration forms to the agency. The service fee will be refunded to the consumer within 10 days following the receipt of these documents. If the original invoice is not sent, VAT and other legal obligations will not be refunded.
12) In cases where the agency fails to comply partially or fully with the contract, the provisions of the TÜRSAB KÜTAHYA SCHEDULE articles will apply for calculating the compensation to be paid.
13) The consumer declares that they have read and are informed of all preliminary information regarding the quality of the product/service, sales price, payment method, and performance related matters, and have provided necessary confirmation via electronic means.
