– If the guest refuses to accept compensation accommodation or refund agreement that is equivalent to the service that is booked and paid for, the agency will not recognize subsequent complaints nor will it consider it necessary to respond to it.
– The criterion of comparison of the original and the compensation accommodation is the price found on web pages ” www.infinitytravel.com.hr “. The agency cannot offer a guest services of inferior value in relation to those already paid for.
– If a guest is not satisfied with the state of accommodations on the spot and leaves the building finding new accommodation on his/her own, without giving the agency an opportunity to resolve the cause of his discontent or to find compensation accommodation.
This guest cannot ask for a refund nor make a claim for compensation, notwithstanding the fact that his reasons might be justified. In case of complaint and request for help, that is for arbitration of the agency, upon receipt of the complaint, the agency has 8 hours to resolve the situation at issue. The period between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. does not count. If the cause of discontent is valid, resolution of problems that led to it will be considered as the proper solution to the situation. In case those valid causes of discontent cannot be resolved, the agency is obliged to find compensation accommodation for guests. Compensation accommodation is the accommodation of the same or better quality offered in the entire tourist region of Rivijera Paklenica.
In case a guest does not accept one of at least 3 alternatives of the same or better quality, which are offered to him/her, the parties will sign a refund agreement. Under this agreement the agency can refund the guest the maximum amount of 50% of the sum he paid.
The parties mutually sign two copies of the refund agreement and in that case the guest renounces the right to subsequent claims for compensation, as well as the right to inform the media. This agreement rules out the guest’s right to consequential damage. The guest can keep one copy of this document.
