Travelers can terminate the contract at any time before the planned trip's start date, subject to the payment of an appropriate and justifiable termination fee.
If, after the trip has started, significant parts of the trip cannot be fulfilled as agreed, suitable alternative proposals must be presented to the traveler at no additional cost. The traveler can terminate the travel contract without paying a termination fee if the services are not performed as per the contract, and this non-compliance significantly affects the execution of the trip and the organizer does not remedy the issue.
Travelers are entitled to a price reduction and/or compensation for damages in the event of non-compliance or poor performance of travel services.
The organizer must provide assistance if a traveler is in difficulty. If the organizer or retailer is declared insolvent, payments will be refunded.
