Paran Tour accepts bookings subject to the following Booking Conditions. A ‘Client' is all persons named on the booking form intending to travel with Paran Tour. A ‘Product' is any service sold by Paran Tour. All Clients will be deemed to have read, understood and accepted all Booking Conditions. To confirm a booking Paran Tour requires that the agent has taken full payment of all monies due. A contract between the Client and Paran Tour comes into existence when Paran Tour has confirmed the booking in writing and issued a Confirmation. The person signing the booking form (that incorporates these terms and conditions) warrants that s/he has full authority to do so on behalf of all persons whose names appear thereon, and confirms that all such persons are fully aware of and understand these terms and conditions. The said contract, including all matters rising from it, is subject to Turkish Law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Turkish Courts. No employees or representatives of Paran Tour has any right to alter, vary or waive any of these terms and conditions, not to undertake any liability whatsoever on behalf of Paran Tour, unless such be in writing and signed by the Director of Paran Tour. Paran Tour reserves the right to decline any booking at their discretion without further explanation.

BOOKING CONDITIONS

 

1). All bookings are made and accepted subject to the terms set out herein and further, the conditions and guidance set out under "Things you should know".

(i) Bring these terms and conditions to all others in the party;
(ii) Establish their needs in relation to travel insurance.
(iii) Become principally liable to Paran Tour for the cost of the holiday.
 

4). The balance of the holiday cost must be received by us at least 4 weeks before the departure date, otherwise we reserve the right to cancel your booking, and you could be liable to pay cancellation charges of up to 100% of the final holiday cost as shown in condition No 10.

5). For all bookings made within 4 weeks of departure, the holiday is confirmed as soon as oral confirmation is given over the telephone, or written confirmation is given by any means of transmittal. If you subsequently cancel your booking, cancellation charges shown in condition No 10 apply. All monies in respect to the total cost of the holiday must accompany the signed booking form.

6). Your holiday price may increase for various reasons over which we have no control. These include government action, (either domestic or overseas), currency fluctuation, aircraft fuel charges, overflying charges and increases in airfares. In the event of these or similar increases, we will absorb the equivalent of 2% of the holiday price excluding insurance premiums. Thereafter, amounts in excess of 2% will be charged to the client will be entitled to cancel the holiday for a full refund (excluding any premium paid for insurance). If the client cancels due to surcharge, the client must do so in writing within 14 days of the date upon the surcharge.

7). Paran Tour shall have the right to cancel a client's holiday but only in the following circumstances and in the following terms.

(a) At any time owing to Force Majeure, in which case Paran Tour shall offer if available holiday arrangements of a similar standard provided by Paran Tour or refund all monies paid by the Client in respect of the arrangements showing on Paran Tour's confirmation invoice within 14 days;
(b) At the due date if the Client has failed to pay the full balance of the holiday price in accordance with Booking Condition No. 1, in which case cancellation charges as per Booking Condition No. 10 will apply;
(c) At any time, should Paran Tour so decide in which case Paran Tour shall make the other or refund as mentioned in paragraph (a) above. Provided that Paran Tour uses its best endeavours to comply with this Booking Condition, Paran Tour will not be liable for any breach of contract or claim that may arise as a result of inconvenience suffered.
 

9). ALTERATIONS BY THE CLIENT :

(a) If the Client needs to cancel, part cancel or change accommodation, flights dates or names or the party from that which was originally confirmed by Argeus 32 days or more before the departure, Paran Tour additionally reserves the right to charge a fee of USD 100.
(b) If a client wishes to cancel, party cancel or change accommodation, flights, dates and names of the party within 56 days of departure, the client shall pay the percentage cancellation charges set out in Booking Condition No. 10. Paran Tour reserves the right to re-calculate the holiday price for the remaining clients taking into account the financial consequences of any partial cancellation.
(c) If a Client chooses to modify the arrangements after commencement of the holiday ie. change accommodation or the duration of the stay, they will be deemed to be breaking their contract with Paran Tour. Paran Tour cannot therefore accept liability for any loss, damage, or additional expenses and no refunds for unutilised services or arrangements will be made.

10). CANCELLATIONS BY THE CLIENT :
All cancellations by the Client must be in writing from the person who signed the booking form, by recorded delivery. Cancellation applies only from the date of receipt by Paran Tour of cancellation notification. If the cancellation notification is received 57 days or more before the departure date, only the holiday deposit and insurance premium are forfeited. Within this period, the following percentage will be payable as a cancellation charge by the client :

56-32 days: Deposit only;
31-7 days: 50%;
7 days-1 day: 75%;
on or after departure: 100%.
 

The above cancellation charges represent the best possible estimate by Paran Tour of the likely losses as a result of your cancellation. They shall also apply to holidays, which are foreshortened, after they have been booked. In the event of a cancellation charge arising under this clause the amount due must be paid by the Client to the Paran Tour within 7 days of the charge arising, notwithstanding the fact the Client's holiday insurance policy may cover the cancellation charge. It is the Client's responsibility to claim any insurance monies due as Paran Tour can not claim on behalf of the client.

11). LIABILITY OF PARAN TOUR & RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CLIENT :
