PRICES
All prices are subject to change without prior notice, which may occur due to matters outside our control that can increase the cost of the relevant product or service. Such factors include currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, and tax increases. Please contact your consultant for up-to-date prices. VIP EUROPE has the right to substitute hotels or tour components, change routing, or cancel any tour or portion thereof should it deem necessary.
PAYMENT
All prices are quoted in Euros (€) or the local currency of the country where the service is provided and are subject to change based on currency fluctuations and the rate of exchange at the time of payment. Payment must be made in full BEFORE the passenger’s arrival.
Payment can be made in the local currency to our account in the respective country through a swift bank transfer. If the Swift transfer is not in the local currency, it must be converted in accordance with the official exchange rate that day.
A copy of the Swift transfer must be scanned and emailed to us. Swift bank transfers take up to 3 weeks to post, so please make payment well in advance of the client’s arrival.
Due to variations in international currency, any payment in foreign currency will be based on the official exchange rate posted by the central bank of the respective country on the date of issuance of the invoice. Payment must be received in full within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice. Any accounts paid after that thirty-day period may be subject to the application of a different exchange rate.
NON-PAYMENT
All expenses incurred by VIP EUROPE LLC, in its attempt to collect payment, including but not limited to attorney fees, court costs, accrued interest, communications expenses, other expenses related to litigation or collections, and any consequential expense of late or non-payment, will be the sole responsibility of the booking agent.
CANCELLATION
Any cancellation must be e-mailed to VIP EUROPE LLC.
For FITs – For cancellation received within 6 days before the scheduled date of arrival, a 350 local currency booking fee will be charged. The client will also be charged for any suppliers’ fees we are not able to avoid due to the cancellation. For any cancellation received after that 6-day deadline, the client will be responsible for 50 percent of the cost of the first day of services plus any charges incurred.
Cancellation fees will apply based on the contract signed by both parties. All cancellations must be made in writing.
ACCEPTANCE
VIP EUROPE Ltd reserves the right to refuse bookings from any prospective clients that are deemed unsuitable.
Should you require a booking timeline to be extended, VIP EUROPE LLC will offer alternative hotel/service options, if they are not available at the time of booking.
Limitations of our responsibility & acceptance of yours – we’re compassionate humans, and if ever & wherever possible, if there is some reasonable way to limit/minimize and even negate any incurred liability, we’ll do our reasonable utmost to do so – but such is not a material clause of our terms & conditions, just a “thumbs up”? On our characteristic attitude.
