The Agency will try to arrange with the hotels the highest possible quality breakfast within the framework of the lowest possible price of the package deal, however, the Agency does not, in any case, take responsibility for the quality or content of the breakfast.

Article 10. TRAVEL CANCELLATION BY THE PASSENGER
Cancellation of the reservation/trip must be sent or delivered to the Agency in writing.
The date of written cancellation is the basis for the calculation of fees, i.e. cancellation costs (cancellation penalty), which the Agency will charge to cover the losses incurred due to the cancellation of the reservation, according to the following scale:
up to 45 days before departure - 30% of the price of the arrangement
45 to 30 days before departure - 40% of the package price
29 to 22 days before departure - 60% of the package price
21 to 15 days before departure - 80% of the package price
14 to 0 days before departure - 100% of the price of the arrangement
after departure and "no show", i.e. failure to appear at departure - 100% of the price of the arrangement
If the Traveler does not have travel cancellation insurance and has to cancel the trip for any reason, the Agency retains the advance payment up to the total amount paid, depending on the number of days remaining until departure. In the event that the advance payment amount is less than the amount of the cancellation penalty, the traveler is obliged to pay the above-defined percentage of the remaining amount of the arrangement in the name of the cancellation penalty. The mentioned cancellation costs also apply to changes in the date of departure or the accommodation facility, as well as to all other important changes. If the Traveler interrupts the trip in progress at his own request, he is not entitled to compensation for the costs incurred due to an early return to the place of departure. In the event of cancellation of a trip that includes air and/or ship transportation, the conditions for refunding funds are defined by the terms and conditions of the airline or shipping company. Verbal cancellation must be confirmed by the Contractor/Traveler in writing either by letter or email. If the Contractor/Traveler does not confirm the verbally communicated cancellation in writing, it will be considered that he has not canceled the trip. If the Contractor/Traveler has not paid the rest of the amount or ensured undisputed payment of the entire amount of the arrangement no later than 14 days before departure, the Agency will consider that the Contractor/Traveler has abandoned the trip, and reserves the right to cancel the reservation without the possibility of returning the advance payment for the trip.
The passenger has the right to transfer the Travel Contract to another person without compensation and without changing the elements of the concluded contract (that is, to inform the agency of the names of substitute passengers). Travel insurance is not transferable to another person.
Article 11. TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION
Travel documentation is considered to be the documents that the Agency is obliged to hand over to the Contractor/Traveller, and which are necessary to realize the contracted trip (for example, original voucher, travel program, airline tickets, possible written notices, etc.). All travel documents will be delivered by email to the Contractor/Traveller no later than 2 days before departure unless otherwise stated in the travel program. In order to avoid any doubts, travel documents in the sense of the General Conditions are not considered travel documents that are necessary for the Passenger to travel.
On most bus trips, passengers only need a valid travel document (passport or ID card) upon departure, and the tour leader has all the necessary vouchers for the entire group with him.
Article 12. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS
The traveler is obliged to ensure in a timely manner that he has all valid travel documents and all other documentation necessary for the contracted trip. Unless specifically agreed, the Agency is not in charge or responsible for obtaining visas or ensuring that the Traveler can cross the border, but this is the personal responsibility of each Traveler. Invalid travel documents, or incomplete documentation that result in the impossibility of starting or continuing the journey of an individual Passenger, do not bind the Agency in any respect, and the terms of cancellation of the trip by the Contractor/Traveler apply. The Agency waives all responsibility for damage caused by the Traveler by not complying with the regulations of certain countries or caused by invalid travel documents, and the Traveler is independently responsible for compensation for all damage and all costs that may arise from this.
The traveler is obliged to respect all customs, visa and epidemiological regulations of the countries visited and passed through according to the travel program. Otherwise, the Agency has the right to start or continue the trip without the Passenger, and all costs arising from this for the Passenger shall be borne by the Passenger himself. Also, in case of theft or loss of travel documents during the trip, the Passenger will bear all costs that may arise from this.
Article 13. TRAVEL INSURANCE
Travel prices do not include travel insurance unless otherwise agreed with the group. The Agency definitely recommends the Contractor/Traveler to take out a travel insurance package (travel health insurance, insurance against travel cancellation by the passenger due to justified reasons as defined in the general insurance conditions, insurance against the consequences of an accident, and repatriation). For passengers, the Agency recommends contracting baggage insurance for an additional fee.
The Contractor/Traveller, by paying for the trip, i.e. by concluding a travel contract, confirms that he has been offered travel insurance. The offered insurance prices refer to the group policy that will be with the tour manager. It is also possible for travelers to take out an individual insurance policy, but this should be noted before paying for the arrangement (the prices of individual policies are approx. 40% higher than group policies for the same insurance coverage and risks). In case of replacement of passengers, the insurance policy is not transferable to new passengers.
Article 14. TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE (BY THE PASSENGER)
We recommend paying for a travel cancellation insurance policy, during which the traveler will be reimbursed 90% of the amount of the arrangement. The traveler declares that he is aware of the fact that cancellation insurance is valid only for justified reasons and upon presentation of evidence to the insurance company (death in the immediate family; a sudden illness that could not be foreseen at the time of taking out the insurance and prevents the traveler from traveling; military call-up; natural disaster in the insured's place of residence).
For all additional information about insurance, please see the General insurance conditions on the website www.globaltravel.hr at the bottom of each page (footer). In case of cancellation of the trip and activation of the insurance policy, the amount of the premium paid for the insurance policy or additional expenses incurred by the traveler on his own will not be refunded to the traveler. A cancellation insurance policy must be agreed upon when booking and concluding the Travel Agreement, and it is not possible to conclude this insurance policy subsequently.
In order to be able to activate the cancellation insurance policy, it is necessary to make the remaining payment in percentage as defined in the segment "TRAVEL CANCELLATION BY THE CONTRACTOR / PASSENGER" depending on the date of the written cancellation, which is the basis for the calculation of fees, i.e. cancellation costs (cancellation penalty). , which the Agency will charge to cover the losses incurred due to the cancellation of the reservation.

Passengers are obliged to take care of their personal belongings and must take them with them every time they leave the hotel room or the bus. Personal belongings, especially valuables, must not be left unattended at any time. The passenger is responsible for the theft, loss, or damage of things or valuables left unattended.

Article 16 CHANGE OF THE PROGRAM, CANCELLATION OR INTERRUPTION OF THE TRIP BY THE AGENCY
The contracted accommodation can only be replaced with accommodation in a facility of the same or higher categorization.
The agency has the full right to change the order of the tours on the condition that all the tours are carried out in accordance with the travel program. The tour leader has the right to adjust the program on the spot, i.e. to change the order of the tours in the event that before the end of the trip, all the tours as provided for in the program have been completed.
If extraordinary circumstances occur that cannot be predicted, avoided, or removed, the Agency has the right to change the content of the travel program on the spot without any obligation to compensate passengers.
The agency reserves the right to change the travel time, regardless of the reason, up to 2 hours from the scheduled departure time if it informs the passengers about this in writing in the final notification sent by email two days before departure. The agency also reserves the right to change the place of departure published in the travel program in case the city of departure remains unchanged and the new place of departure is located within 5 kilometers of the initially planned place of departure. In the event of a change in the time and/or place of departure, the Agency will notify passengers in writing in the final notification two days before departure.
The agency reserves the right to change the travel arrangement under the following conditions: that the destination remains unchanged (defined as the city where all overnight stays are planned for that arrangement), that the period of stay remains unchanged (defined as the period within which the trip is realized, additionally limited that the overnight stays must be on the same dates or within the same dates), that the duration of the arrangement remains unchanged (defined as the number of overnight stays), that the service remains unchanged (defined as an accommodation service, e.g. overnight/breakfast in a 3* hotel, with a plan for visiting regional sights), that the means and the characteristics of the transport remain unchanged (defined as bus travel or air travel), so that the place of departure and return remains unchanged (defined as the city from which one departs and to which one returns). In the event that the Agency shortens the duration of the arrangement, this is possible only with all the other restrictions listed, only at a lower price than the initially contracted arrangement, whereby the shortening of the arrangement is only possible for one night and only within the previously agreed dates, and in that case, the consent of the passenger is required he Agency reserves the right to change the day or direction/route of the trip only in the event of force majeure, i.e. unforeseen circumstances (security situation in the destination or countries passed on the way from/to the destination, bad weather, war or other reasons that will enable more efficient or safer the implementation of the travel program) and without compensation, according to the applicable regulations in domestic and international traffic. The agency does not assume responsibility for changes due to unforeseen circumstances and force majeure during the trip.
Although it will make reasonable efforts to ensure that there are no errors in written documentation or communication with passengers, the Agency is in no way responsible for possible tip-offers, inadvertent errors by its employees in publishing the program or in written/oral communication, as well as for inadvertent incorrect data entry by the operator on websites. In case of an error, the Agency will inform the Passengers about it in writing.
Without the obligation to compensate the Contractor/Traveler, the Agency may cancel the trip due to force majeure that may occur before or during the trip, i.e. in the event that a sufficient number of Passengers indicated in the travel program do not register for the trip. In the event that the trip is canceled due to an insufficient number of registered passengers, the Agency will notify the Contractor/Traveler of the trip cancellation 7 days before the start of the arrangement. By paying part or all of the amount of the arrangement, the Contractor/Traveler declares that he is aware of the fact that no package arrangement has a guaranteed departure until at least 40 registered passengers have gathered on a particular group/bus, that he will inform the other passengers on the same reservation about this fact, and that he will not contract any additional services related to the departure of the trip (transfer from/to the point of departure for the trip, accommodation in the city of departure, etc.) until the Agency specifically confirms to him in writing that the departure is guaranteed, in which case the term will be used "guaranteed departure", and that this cannot be a basis for a complaint or a public expression of dissatisfaction, given that the aforementioned does not depend on the Agency, and that the passenger is informed about the aforementioned in advance.
The agency, as a private company that provides travel organization services, is not obliged to provide this service and reserves the right to cancel the trip of each client, i.e. the travel contractor and other persons on the same reservation, in the event that it assesses that one of the passengers does not act in good faith before departure and/or that could affect the comfort of the other passengers in the group during the trip with their dissatisfaction expressed before departure, in which case the agency can inform the client about the cancellation of the trip less than 7 days before the start of the trip and return the entire amount paid for the arrangement, and the traveler, by contracting the trip, declares that aware of this fact.
In the event that the trip has to be interrupted for the entire group after its start due to force majeure or any cause related to the epidemic/pandemic, the Contractor/Traveler by paying for the trip, or accepting these general conditions, declares that he is aware of the fact that the Agency is obliged to the partners to settle all contracted services as if the trip had taken place in its entirety, and that the Agency has no obligation to compensate the Traveler for any damages in that case, nor any other obligations towards the Traveler, except for ensuring the return of the group to the point of destination.
Article 17. LEGAL PROVISIONS AND REGULATIONS, PRE-CONTRACTUAL INFORMATION, DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AND OTHER
Standard information before contracting a package-arrangement trip: The offered combination of travel services is a package arrangement within the meaning of the Act on the provision of services in tourism. The traveler, therefore, has all the rights arising from the provisions of the Act on the provision of services in tourism that refer to package arrangements. The tourist agency Amfiteatar Travel j.d.o.o. is fully responsible for the proper execution of the package arrangement as a whole. The most important rights in accordance with the Law on the provision of services in tourism: Travelers will receive all essential information about the package arrangement before concluding a contract on travel in a package arrangement.

Passengers receive an emergency phone number or information about a contact point through which they can get in touch with the organizer or travel agency (the mobile phone contact number of the travel manager for all emergencies will be provided two days before the start of the trip in the final notification). Passengers can transfer the package arrangement to another person with reasonable notice and possible payment of additional costs. The price of the package arrangement can be increased only if specific costs (for example, the price of fuel) increase and if this is expressly stipulated in the contract, and in any case no later than 20 days before the start of the package arrangement. If the price increase exceeds 8% of the price of the package arrangement, the passenger can terminate the contract. If the organizer reserves the right to increase the price, the passenger has the right to a price reduction if the relevant costs are reduced. Travelers can terminate the contract without paying any termination fee and receive a full refund of all payments if any of the essential elements of the package arrangement other than the price are significantly changed. If, before the start of the package arrangement, the merchant responsible for the package arrangement cancels the package arrangement, passengers have the right to a refund and, if necessary, compensation (compensation is possible only in the event that the departure was guaranteed to the Passenger in writing by the Agency, with the words "guaranteed departure", and that passengers have consequently agreed on additional services such as transfers from/to the place of departure. Passengers can terminate the contract without paying any termination fee before the start of the package arrangement in case of extraordinary circumstances, for example, if there are serious security problems at the destination which could affect the package arrangement. In addition, passengers may terminate the contract at any time prior to the commencement of the package arrangement upon payment of an appropriate termination fee that may be justified. If after the commencement of the package arrangement, significant elements of the package arrangement cannot be provided as agreed, alternative arrangements will have to be offered at no additional cost. If the services are not provided in all ads with the contract and this significantly affects the performance of the package arrangement, and the organizer does not correct the non-conformity, passengers can terminate the contract for travel in the package arrangement without paying a cancellation fee. Passengers have the right to a price reduction and/or compensation if the travel services are not performed or if they are performed improperly. If the traveler finds himself in difficulties, the organizer must provide him with help. If the organizer, or in some member states the seller, becomes insolvent, a refund is provided. If the organizer or, if necessary, the seller becomes insolvent after the start of the package arrangement, and if transportation is included in the package arrangement, the repatriation of the passengers is ensured.
