abroad, is governed by Law no. 1084 of 27/12/1977 ratifying and executing the International Convention on Travel Contracts (CCV) signed in Brussels on 23.4.1970 - insofar as applicable - as well as by the Consumer Code set out in Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 September 2005 (articles 82-100) and its subsequent amendments.
The agreement signed on 8 April 2002 and subsequent amendment of 21 May 2002 between the Ministry of Education and Research and the representatives of travel agents is also a substantial part of the contract.

2. AUTHORISATIONS.
The organiser and the seller of the tourist package, to whom the consumer turns, must be authorised to carry out their respective activities according to the applicable administrative regulations.

3. DEFINITIONS.
For the purposes of this contract, the following terms are intended: a) tour organiser, the subject who realises the combination of the elements referred to in Art. 4 below and undertakes, in his own name and for a lump sum consideration, to procure tourist packages to third parties; b) seller, the subject who sells, or undertakes to procure tourist packages realised in accordance with Art. 4 for a lump-sum consideration; c) consumer of tourist packages, the purchaser, the transferee of a tourist package or any person also to be named, provided that they meet all the conditions required for the use of the service, on whose behalf the principal contractor undertakes to purchase a tourist package without remuneration.

4. NOTION OF TOURIST PACKAGE.
The notion of tourist package is as follows: "Tourist packages refer to travel, holidays and "all-inclusive" circuits, resulting from the prearranged combination of at least two of the following elements
indicated below, sold or offered for sale at a fixed price, and lasting more than 24 hours or extending over a period of time including at least one night: a) transport; b) accommodation; c) tourist services not ancillary to transport or accommodation (omissis)... which constitute a significant part of the "tourist package" (Art. 84 of the Consumer Code). The consumer has the right to receive a copy of the tourist package sales contract (pursuant to articles 85 and 86 of the Consumer Code), which is also a document for possible access to the Guarantee Fund referred to in article 20 of these General Contract Terms and Conditions.

5. COMPULSORY INFORMATION - DATA SHEET
The organiser is obliged to include a data sheet in the catalogue or in the non-catalogue programme. The compulsory elements to be included in such a data sheet are: -extremes of the organiser's administrative authorisation; -extremes of the civil liability insurance policy; -period of validity of the catalogue or out-of-catalogue programme; -manner and conditions of substitution of the traveller (Art. 89 of the Consumer Code); -parameters and criteria for adjusting the price of the trip (Art. 90 of the Consumer Code).

6. RESERVATIONS.
Reservation applications must be made on the appropriate contract form, electronic if applicable,
completed in its entirety and signed by the customer, who will receive a copy. Acceptance of bookings is considered finalised, with consequent conclusion of the contract, only when the organiser sends relative confirmation, also by telematic system, to the client at the seller travel agency. The Agency reserves the right not to carry out the trip if the minimum number of participants, possibly indicated in the catalogue and/or in the estimate, is not reached. Information regarding the tourist package that is not contained in the contractual documents, brochures or other means of written communication will be provided by the organiser in regular fulfilment of the obligations foreseen at his or her charge by Art. 87 comm. 8 of the Consumer Code before the start of the holiday.

7. PAYMENTS.
The entire participation fee must be paid at the time of booking or at the time of the binding request. Failure to pay the above amounts by the established dates constitutes an express termination clause such as to determine, on the part of the intermediary agency and/or the organiser, the legal termination of the contract, without prejudice to compensation for further damages suffered by the organiser.

8. PRICE.
The participation fees are determined in the contract, with reference to what is indicated in the catalogue and/or in the estimate. It may be varied up to 20 days prior to arrival and only as a consequence of variations in: -transport costs, including the cost of fuel; -fees and taxes on certain types of tourist services such as taxes, landing, disembarkation or embarkation fees at ports and airports; -exchange rates applied to the package in question. For such variations, reference will be made to the exchange rate and costs referred to above in force on the date of publication of the programme as reported in the catalogue data sheet or on the date reported in any updates referred to above. The fluctuations will affect the flat-rate price of the tourist package in the percentage expressly indicated in the technical data sheet of the catalogue or programme outside the catalogue. The traveller has the right to withdraw from the contract, in the event of an increase in the travel price of more than 10%, as long as he/she notifies the Travel Agency in writing within 2 working days following receipt of the communication regarding the increase. In any case, no disputes will be accepted regarding the travel price or individual price components during or at the end of the trip. The catalogue price does not include the fixed and obligatory opening fee of Euro 5 per person.

9. MODIFICATION OR CANCELLATION OF THE TOUR PACKAGE PRIOR TO ARRIVAL
9.1. MODIFICATION BY THE ORGANISER. Before the arrival the organiser or the seller who needs to modify significantly one or more elements of the contract, gives immediate notice in writing to the consumer, indicating the type of modification and the variation of the price that follows. If he/she does not accept the proposed modification referred to in paragraph 1, the consumer may exercise the right to either repurchase the sum already paid or to enjoy the offer of a replacement tourist package pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 10. The consumer may also exercise the aforementioned rights when the cancellation is due to the failure to reach the minimum number of participants envisaged in the catalogue or in the programme outside the catalogue, or due to cases of force majeure and fortuitous events, relating to the tourist package purchased. For cancellations other than those caused by force majeure, unforeseeable circumstances and failure to reach the minimum number of participants, as well as for those other than the consumer's non-acceptance of the alternative tourist package offered, the organiser who cancels, (Art. 33 letter E of the Consumer Code), shall refund to the consumer double the amount paid and collected by the organiser through the travel agent. The sum to be refunded will never be more than twice the amount that the consumer would owe on the same date according to Art. 10, 4th paragraph if he/she were to cancel.
9.2. MODIFICATION BY THE CONSUMER. Changes requested by the traveller after the booking has already been confirmed to the organiser involve costs for Beyond Borders Travel and sometimes also the charging of penalties by suppliers. These will be communicated and agreed with the traveller in good time.
 

10. WITHDRAWAL BY THE CONSUMER.
The consumer may withdraw from the contract, without paying penalties, in the following cases: -increase in the price referred to in Art. 8 above to an extent exceeding 10%; -significant modification of one or more elements of the contract objectively identifiable as fundamental to the enjoyment of the tourist package as a whole and proposed by the organiser after the conclusion of the contract itself, but before the start of the stay and not accepted by the consumer. In the above cases, the consumer has the right alternatively: -to take advantage of an alternative tour package, without a surcharge or with the refund of the excess price, if the second tour package has a lower value than the first; -to the refund of only the part of the price already paid. This refund must be made within 7 working days of receipt of the request for reimbursement.
The consumer must give notice of his or her decision (to accept the modification or to withdraw) within and no later than 2 working days from the moment he or she received the notice of increase or modification. In the absence of express communication within the aforementioned deadline, the proposal made by the organiser is deemed to be accepted. The consumer who withdraws from the contract before the start of the holiday outside the hypotheses listed in the first paragraph shall be entitled to a refund of the sum paid net of the penalties listed below, which are to be calculated on the total amount of what has been booked, in addition to the charges and expenses incurred by the organiser in cancelling the services: 15% up to 61 calendar days prior to the start of the stay; 25% from 60 days to 31 calendar days prior to the start of the stay; 50% from 30 days to 21 calendar days prior to the start of the stay; 75% from 20 days to 11 calendar days prior to the start of the stay; 100% in the calendar days prior to the start of the stay; the practice fee must be added to the above penalties.

The consumer must also - under penalty of forfeiture - lodge a complaint by sending a registered letter, with acknowledgement of receipt, to the organiser or the seller, no later than 10 working days from the date of return to their place of residence.

20. INSURANCE AGAINST CANCELLATION COSTS, MEDICAL EXPENSES AND BAGGAGE INSURANCE.
The catalogue price does not include any insurance for medical expenses and/or cancellation. In order to avoid these possible expenses and for the protection and peace of mind of the consumer, the organiser invites the latter to take out an insurance policy at the time of booking.

21. GUARANTEE FUND.
The National Guarantee Fund (Art. 100 of the Consumer Code) set up to protect consumers who are in possession of a contract, provides for the following needs in the event of insolvency or declared bankruptcy of the seller or organiser: a) reimbursement of the price paid; b) repatriation in the case of trips abroad.
