Article 6. Alterations by the client
1. Alterations to parts of the tour or the programme, at the request of the client, shall be carried out by Jezra Travel as far as possible. Possible extra costs charged by the contracted service providers over and above the organisation costs stated in the offer, shall be charged on.
2. A reduction in the number of participants in the tour or the programme will be considered as a (partial) cancellation and article 7 paragraph 2 shall apply.

Article 10. Cancellation/changes owing to significant circumstances on the part of Jezra Travel
1. Should the tour be unable to proceed owing to significant circumstances over which Jezra Travel has no control, Jezra Travel shall be obliged to make these known to the client immediately. Once this has been made known the contract shall be considered rescinded.
2. Should the tour have to be altered owing to significant circumstances over which Jezra Travel has no control, Jezra Travel shall be obliged to make this known to the client immediately with a simultaneous statement of possible extra costs. If the client cannot be reasonably expected to proceed with the tour, he shall then be entitled to rescind the contract. This entitlement shall expire 48 following receipt of notification.
3. Should this contract be rescinded in accordance with the above, Jezra Travel shall be obliged to refund immediately all monies already paid by the client that are in her possession. She shall also undertake to claim back sums of money already paid to third parties and, where possible, to hold any third parties liable for the damages incurred by the client and herself. However, Jezra Travel cannot be held responsible for more than that with regard to the client, except in the case of deliberate intention or gross negligence. In such a case, she must refund all monies paid in advance.

Article 11. Organiser’s liability
1. Should the tour of the event not be carried out according to plan and in accordance with other agreements made, Jezra Travel shall be responsible to the client for any damages arising from this unless the shortcoming cannot be ascribed to her or to the person whose assistance she has enlisted for executing the contract, because:
a. the shortcoming in executing the contract can be ascribed to the client; or
b. the shortcoming in executing the contract could not be foreseen or could not be rectified and can be ascribed to a third party not involved in the delivery of the services included in the tour or the event; or
c. the shortcoming in executing the contract can be ascribed to an event which Jezra Travel, or the person(s) whose assistance she has enlisted to execute the contract, in spite of all due care and attention, could not foresee or remedy; or
d. the shortcoming in executing the contract can not be ascribed to him as a result of force majeur as intended in article 12.

Article 12. Force majeur
Force majeur shall be understood to be abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances which are beyond the will and control of those to whom they refer and the consequences of which cannot be avoided in spite of all precautionary measures.

Article 13. Exclusions and limitations of Jezra Travel’s liability on the grounds of contract
1. Jezra Travel will accept no liability for damages which are covered by the usual medical, accident, travel and/or cancellation insurance policies.

Article 14. Obligations of the participant
1. The participant(s) shall be obliged to observe all instructions from Jezra Travel which are in the interests of the satisfactory execution of the tour and shall be liable for any damages caused through his (their) improper behaviour. 2. A participant who occasions, or may occasion, such nuisance or inconvenience as to strongly impede or threaten to impede the satisfactory execution of the tour, may be excluded from (further) participation in the tour if it cannot reasonably be required of this person that the contract will be observed. All costs arising from this shall be chargeable to the client.

Article 15. Complaints procedure
1. Any shortcoming established in the execution of the contract must be communicated as quickly as possible to the service provider concerned so that he/she may find a suitable solution. Should the shortcoming not be rectified within a reasonable period of time and prejudices the quality of the tour, this must be communicated immediately to a representative of Jezra Travel. Should this person not be available or reachable, the participant must contact Jezra Travel immediately.
2. Should a complaint not be rectified satisfactorily, this must be made known to Jezra Travel within 72 hours following return.
