1. ABOUT US
Serhs Tourism(‘Serhs’) S.A whose registered office is at Calle Garbi no: 88-90, Pineda De Mar, 08397 Barcelona, Spain is a sales agent appointed by the owners and/or providers of accommodation and transfer services (“Products”) to sell Products on a non-exclusive basis on their behalf to travel agents for onward sale to individuals wishing to use the Products (“Customer(s)”). None of the Products are subject to the Package Travel, Package Holidays of Package Tours Regulations 1992. Bookings can only be made by travel agents. In making a booking and receiving payment the travel agent does so as the Customer’s agent. ‘Serhs’ accepts no responsibility for the provision of the Product by the Principal. The Principal has a contract with the Customer for the provision of the Product. The Customer makes an offer to buy Product to the Principal which Serhs, as agent, are free to accept on behalf of each Principal or to reject it.

2. PAYMENT
The Customer must pay a deposit at the time of booking and the full balance is required no later than 10 weeks before the Product is required to be used. Payment in full must be made if the booking is made within 10 weeks of the Product being required. The booking request will not be confirmed by Serhs and the transaction is not considered completed until the client has paid in time the full price of the services, irrespective of whether the final consumer, intermediary or the remaining interested parts, have paid the referred price to the agent. Therefore, Serhs will confirm the booking once the full price is paid by the agent.

In the event that payment for the reservation is not received by the date and method agreed or that there is a failure to fulfil all requirements, Serhs may automatically cancel the reservation with no right on the part of the agent and/or the final consumer to claim any service provision or amount whatsoever from Serhs on account of such an annulment.

3. CHANGES OR CANCELATIONS BY THE CUSTOMER
Unless expressly authorised by Serhs, the agent shall not be allowed to reduce the reserved period of stay or requested service, nor change the names of the final consumer once a reservation has been made. Any such changes shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the reservation. Modifications to extend the reserved period shall be subject to availability; in the event of an extension the price shall be modified accordingly.

Generally cancellations made at least 7 days before final consumer arrival shall not generate charges.  This is not withstanding the aforementioned period may vary in each particular case and shall be indicated at the time of reservation.  At the time of confirmation of the reservation, the cancellation charges which may ensue shall vary according to destination, dates and accommodation establishment.

If for exceptional reasons the cancellation is not made via the system, it must be sent in writing to Serhs detailing the destination and reservation number.  Serhs shall send an acknowledgement of receipt and inform of all the charges which may be applicable.  Any charges for cancellations made directly by the final consumer with the accommodation establishment which are charged by the supplier to Serhs shall be paid, in turn, by the agent to Serhs.

Claims for reimbursement by a final consumer leaving the accommodation establishment before the reserved departure date (i.e. early check out) must be addressed to Serhs within 20 days of the effective date of departure, together with written confirmation from the accommodation establishment of time and date of departure.

For no-shows or early check-outs, the accommodation establishment may charge the full amount of the original reservation, in which case reimbursement to the final consumer shall not apply.

Serhs will inform the travel agent as soon as reasonably possible of any changes or cancellations. If the Principal offers alternative Product or a refund, it will stipulate a timeframe for a reply.
