6 - RESERVATION/BOOKING AND PAYMENT

6.1. Reservation form

When you notify us of your intention to book an event, we will send you a booking reference number and a reservation form.

Each participant will be required to complete this form, which will provide us with your personal information and other relevant details necessary to initiate the booking process. On this form you will also indicate your preferred method of payment, either by credit card or by bank transfer.

Upon receipt of the booking form, Pyrenees & More will send you an invoice detailing the amounts due for deposit and balance (if applicable) and instruct you on how to make payment of the deposit, or full payment, if applicable (see 5.2 below).

6.2 Deposit

A deposit per person of 500 euros or an amount equal to 30% of the estimated total event cost - whichever is greater - is required to reserve a place on a given event; the outstanding balance is due 60 days prior to the tour start date. The exact date for payment of the balance will be indicated on the invoice. Reservations made less than 60 days prior to the tour start date must be paid in full.

6.3 Payment

Payments can be made by credit card or electronic bank transfer to our account in Spain as described on the invoice. If you choose to pay by credit card, we will send you a link for secure payment via STRIPE.

In case of payment by bank transfer, you will be required to pay additional fees to ensure that Pyrenees & More receives the full amount due. Please refer to your travel invoice for the exact amount due.

6.4 Confirmation

We will only be able to confirm your booking once we have received both the deposit (or full payment if applicable) and the booking form from each participant. At that time, we will send you a payment receipt detailing the amount paid.

The contract will come into force between you and us on receipt of the relevant deposit or, in the case of a late booking, on payment in full of the event fee.

6.5 Waiver of Liability

We will send you a Waiver and Assumption of Risk (Waiver of Liability) form, which you must sign and return to us in order to complete your booking.

6.6 Proof of Insurance - We require proof of insurance in order to participate in our trips. See more details in section 6 "Insurance" of these conditions.

7 - CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

7.1 Cancellation by you.

Any cancellation must be notified to us in writing, and will only be effective upon receipt by us. We will refund any amount you have already paid, less any applicable cancellation fees, which are based on the time we receive your notice of cancellation. All cancellations and "no-shows" are subject to the following non-refundable cancellation fees:

(i) more than 30 calendar days prior to the event start date stated on the invoice, the cancellation fees will be the Deposit;

(ii) 15 to 30 calendar days prior to the event start date stated on the invoice, 50% of the total cost of the trip;

(iii) 14 calendar days or less prior to the event start date stated on the invoice, 100% of the total trip cost.

No refund will be made for late arrival, early departure or unused portion of the trip.

Depending on the reasons for your cancellation, you should be able to claim these cancellation fees from your insurance company if you have taken out travel insurance. In other words, Pyrenees & More will retain the amount of the cancellation fees indicated above and transfer the remainder to a bank account of your choice, after subtracting from such remainder all applicable bank transfer fees.

An exception will be made in case of cancellation 45 days or more prior to departure. This is the case where we quote you an "estimated price" for the trip and then ask for payment of the deposit to proceed with the reservation. Then, in the process of booking your rooms, due to availability issues on your preferred dates, despite our best efforts, we are forced to use more expensive accommodations or accommodations that require additional transfers, etc. If the result of this situation is that the final price of the trip is 10% or more than initially budgeted, you will have the option to cancel, with only a partial loss of the deposit, equal to 150 euros per person. In other words, only in this case, we will refund the deposit minus 150 euros per person, minus any applicable bank or credit card fees.

7.2 Cancellation by some members of a group

In case of cancellation by some but not all members of the group, the cancellation fees indicated in section 6.2 will be applied to the cancelling customers. In this case, if the price of the event was based on a certain number of people and the cancellation by some members causes the cost of the trip per person to increase, Pyrenees and More will communicate the modified price to you. You will have the option to accept the new trip price or cancel with forfeiture of your deposit only.

7.3 Cancellation by us.

Pyrenees & More reserves the right to cancel a trip at any time for any reason prior to departure and in such event will refund in full any payment of the trip price made by the participant.

Pyrenees & More is not responsible for penalties incurred due to the purchase of non-refundable airline tickets.

8 - ALTERATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS

8.1 If you wish to change your booking (date changes, postponements and other alterations to the program made by you).

If, after you have made any payment, and up to 30 days or more before the scheduled start date of your trip, you wish to change or alter your existing booking (e.g. change the dates (postponement), change the itinerary, change to a different trip or change the accommodation or tailor-made activities, etc.), we will do our best to accommodate your request; however, we will do our best to accommodate your request. ), we will do our best to accommodate your request; however, you will be responsible for any additional costs incurred as a result (e.g., higher hotel rates or higher fees for services from other suppliers).

In addition, we charge an administrative fee of EUR 25 per night per reservation (not per person) for modifying your reservation (e.g., if a 10-night trip reservation is to be modified, the fee will be EUR 250, but if only 1 night is modified, the fee will be EUR 25).

Within 30 days prior to departure, our cancellation fees in section 5.1 shall apply to such trip modifications.

Without prejudice to Section 10 of these terms and conditions, if a proposed change is not acceptable to you, you may cancel the specific part of your booking relating to the change. In such a case, we will refund you in full for that specific part of the booking, which will constitute full and final settlement. No further refund or compensation will be made.
