Therefore, the company declines any responsibility for deficiencies in the provision of any of these services, as well as for damages and losses that passengers may suffer to their persons or property, regardless of the cause, delay, postponement, cancellation, or irregularities that may occur during the execution of the services for the individuals who travel through their mediation, as well as for the deterioration, loss, or misplacement of luggage and other personal belongings, as this responsibility lies exclusively with the respective service providers. However, the responsibilities of the Company, whether acting as an organizer or intermediary of the trip, will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the International Convention Relating to the Travel Contract approved by Law No. 19,918. The Company is not responsible for any act of the client, acts of third parties for which it should not be held responsible, or events that occur due to fortuitous events, force majeure, weather phenomena, or events of nature, and other events that may occur beyond its control, before or during the tour, which may prevent, delay, or in any way hinder the total or partial execution of the organized and/or reserved services by the Company, in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code. The transport companies are not responsible for any act, omission, or irregularity while passengers are not aboard their vehicles. The transportation contract (ticket) used by the transport companies involved in the development of our programs, when issued, will constitute the sole contract between them and the purchaser of the tour and/or passenger. Furthermore, the Company disclaims any responsibility for delays, advances, or cancellations that may occur on the part of the transport companies or for any eventual damages caused to the passenger during the period in which the transport company is responsible for the traveler’s transfer.

   3. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the specified hotels may be changed to another of equal or higher category at no additional cost to the passenger. Regarding these changes, the passenger will not be entitled to any compensation.

   4. The Company may cancel any tour when any of the circumstances provided for in Article 24 of Decree No. 2182/72 occur. In such cases, the Company is only obligated to reimburse the amounts received up to the date of cancellation, and the passenger will not have any right to compensation.

   5. Once the journey has begun, the suspension, modification, or interruption of services by the passenger for personal reasons of any kind, such as illness, death, etc., will not give rise to any claims, refunds, or reimbursements, and in these cases, the expenses for the return will be solely the passenger’s responsibility.
