2. CONTRACT

Azores Getaways functions as a booking central. From now on, the term "Supplier" refers (but is not limited to) the following entities: hotels, aparthotels, touristic housing, tourist activity operators, airlines and rent-a-car companies.

A "reservation" or "booking" refers to the acquisition of products or services made through Azores Getaways, which we have approved. The approval on the part of Azores Getaways will be communicated through a Voucher, which will be sent to your e-mail address.

When making a reservation with Azores Getaways, and when the service of your choice is available, the resulting contract will be between you and Azores Getaways. Should you have any doubts before your trip, any and all questions related to the selected travel package should be addressed with Azores Getaways. Any specific questions concerning the chosen services with a Supplier must be addressed with the Supplier directly.

Although we do our best to ensure the availability and accuracy of the services published on Azores Getaways, some errors may occur in your reservation. Once we become aware of the existence of such flaws, we will do everything possible to inform you of the occurrence within 72 hours after your booking. We reserve the right to cancel your booking, without any prejudice to you or to Azores Getaways. Should the Supplier cancel or modify your reservation, you will have the option to choose another alternative offered by the Supplier or cancel your reservation. If the Supplier cannot offer a viable alternative within the 72 hour window, we reserve the right to cancel your booking without any type of compensation.

Any commissions, taxes and/or fees required by the government, any other authority, or by the Supplier of the selected service(s) are to be paid for in full by the customer, including any requests made after the issuing of your booking confirmation.

The organization of the trips available on www.AzoresGetaways.com is under the full responsibility of InovTravel, Portuguese Tour Operator registered with the Portugal Tourism Bureau no. 3877, with headquarters at Avenida Natália Correia, nº51, 9500 - 435 Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal managed by IdeaStation - Soluções Informáticas, Lda., registered at the Ponta Delgada Commercial Registry with the no. 509 829 333.

When a trip organized by Azores Getaways is the subject of a dispute, these general conditions and the specific terms found in the customer's voucher represent the contract that binds the two parts.

2.1 Cancellation

For pre-paid travel packages, there are specific cancellation policies that apply, and, as a rule, they are non refundable.

Regarding any and all tours purchased, in the event of a no-show or cancellation on the arrival day, the customer is responsible for paying the entire cost of the reservation. The cancellation policy will be presented in the client's voucher, including any special conditions imposed by the Supplier(s) and conditions that have priority over the general cancellation policy.

Each airline defines its own flights cancellation and alterations policy, meaning that there may exist non-refundable fares or penalties applicable in cases of cancellation or changes to the reservation. It is the customer's responsibility to ask Azores Getaways for information about these conditions before making the reservation.

2.2 Reservations Cancelled by Azores Getaways

Azores Getaways reserves the right to cancel an organized trip if the number of participants does not meet the minimum number required, when the trip depends on a certain number of participants. In these cases, the customer will be informed via e-mail of the cancellation within 8 days.

2.3 Changes

If a customer wishes to change their existing reservation date, or make any other changes (subject to Supplier availability), the customer must pay an alterations fee. However, should the change take place 30 days or less before the date of the trip, or if the product providers do not accept the changes requested, the customer will be subjected to the fees included in the "Withdrawal" section.

If the changes are requested after the trip has begun, and for reasons unrelated to Azores Getaways (e.g.: prolonging the stay, changing the flights), the prices of the services and products may not correspond to those published on www.azoresgetawayscom.

Azores Getaways and its suppliers can alter the order of the routes, modify the departure hours or replace the hotels with others of similar category and localization, whenever there are justifiable reasons, having to inform the customer of the alteration as soon as they are aware of it.

2.4 Withdrawal

Customers are free to withdraw from the trip or cancel it altogether at any time. However, they are responsible for paying all of the penalties stated in the reservation contract, including a fee of up to 20% of the price of the trip.

Should it be the case, the customer will be refunded the difference between the amount paid and the fees and penalties mentioned above.

The reservation fees on www.azoresgetaways.com are related to the processing of the reservations and vary according to the type of product. Fees are not refunded if the cancellation of the trip is due to the customer's request or is the customer's responsibility.

2.5 Hotels and Accommodations
