serious and justified reasons, the organizer will reimburse the client for the total paid for the service not
rendered.

in observing the above mentioned obligations. The client is required to provide the organizer with all
documents and information in his possession necessary for the exercise of the organizer’s right of
substitution towards third persons responsible for damage and is responsible to the organizer for damage
caused to the right of substitution.
System of responsibility
The organizer answers for damages caused the client through total or partial negligence of the services due
through contract whether provided personally by him or by third persons providing the services, unless the
organizer can prove that the incident derived from the client (including initiatives undertaken autonomously
by the client during implementation of the tourist services) or from circumstances unrelated to the provision
of the services expected, from accidents or acts of God, in other words from circumstances that the
organizer himself could not reasonably expect or resolve..
Limit of compensation
The compensation due by the organizer for personal damages cannot in any case exceed the compensation
indemnities provided by the international conventions with reference to the services whose non-fulfilment has
determined the responsibility and in particular the organizer is exonerated from the responsibility when the
unsuccessful or incorrect implementation of the contract is imputable to the client or depends upon an
unpredictable or inevitable third party fact or from accidents or acts of God.
Claims
The client in conformity with Regional Law #206/05 must report to the organizer, in the form of a claim, the
