Payment of the rest of 70% of full amount is required at least 14 days prior arrival to destination (services start) in order to receive travel documents and be able to use accommodation and services booked.

EHOLIDAYS preserves its right to offer changes to booked services or cancel the services completely or partially, if before or during the time of the stay special circumstances appear that cannot be avoided or declined. However, if they appear during the time of the agreement, EHOLIDAYS is not obligated to accept the reservation of the service in question.

If EHOLIDAYS is unable to fulfil confirmed and paid services the Customer will be offered an alternative. Change of booked services can be carried out only with the permission of the Customer. The alternative must be of the same, or one level higher quality than the one initially booked. If the Customer accepts the alternative, which is considerably higher in quality then initially booked, the Customer agrees to participate in covering price difference in amount of at least 50%. If the alternative is lower in quality, EHOLIDAYS will reimburse the difference in price.

EHOLIDAYS has the obligation to immediately inform all arriving Customers about booking changes or cancellation, and if no alternatives can be found, to reimburse the amount paid by the Customer.

8. Cancellations by the Customer

If the Customer wishes to change or cancel the booking, it has to be in written form (e-mail or fax), at least 30 days prior service start date.

First change of the booking, if it is possible without extra expenses, will be made for free. All further booking changes will be charged 10 EUR (inclusive of VAT) per change.

If the change of booking is not possible, and the Customer cancels confirmed booking as a result, lower mentioned conditions apply. The cancellation charges will be calculated from the date written booking cancellation is received, as follows:
