ARTICLE 11. ORGANIZER’S LIABILITY FOR INCORRECT EXECUTION AND OCCURRENCE OF IMPOSSIBILITY DURING EXECUTION – TRAVELER’S OBLIGATIONS – TIMELINESS OF CLAIM

Pursuant to Article 42 of the Tourism Code, the organizer is responsible for the execution of the tourist services provided by the package travel contract, regardless of whether these tourist services are to be provided by the organizer themselves, their assistants, or employees when acting in the exercise of their functions, by third parties whose services are used, or by other suppliers of tourist services under Article 1228 of the Civil Code.

The traveler, in compliance with the duties of correctness and good faith under Articles 1175 and 1375 of the Civil Code, informs the organizer, directly or through the seller, promptly and taking into account the circumstances of the case, of any non-conformities identified during the execution of a tourist service provided by the package travel contract.

If one of the tourist services is not performed according to what was agreed in the package travel contract, the organizer remedies the non-conformity, unless this is impossible or excessively costly, considering the extent of the non-conformity and the value of the affected tourist services. If the organizer does not remedy the non-conformity, the traveler is entitled to a price reduction as well as compensation for the damage suffered as a result of the non-conformity, unless the organizer proves that the non-conformity is attributable to the traveler or a third party unrelated to the provision of the tourist services, or is inevitable, unforeseeable, or due to extraordinary and unavoidable circumstances.

Subject to the exceptions above, if the organizer does not remedy the non-conformity within a reasonable period set by the traveler through the claim made under paragraph 2, the traveler may remedy the non-conformity personally and request reimbursement of the necessary, reasonable, and documented expenses.

The Organizer, if after departure they find themselves unable to provide an essential part of the services foreseen in the contract for any reason other than the traveler’s own actions, must provide appropriate alternative solutions for the continuation of the planned trip at no extra cost to the traveler, or reimburse the traveler within the limits of the difference between the originally planned and the provided services.

The traveler can reject the proposed alternative solutions only if they are not comparable to what was agreed in the contract or if the granted price reduction is inadequate. If no alternative solution is possible or if the solution prepared by the organizer is rejected by the traveler because it is not comparable to what was agreed in the contract or because the granted price reduction is inadequate, the organizer will provide, without additional cost, an equivalent means of transport to the original one planned for the return to the departure place or to the different place eventually agreed upon, depending on the availability of means and places, and will reimburse them to the extent of the difference between the cost of the planned and performed services until the moment of early return.
