ADDENDUM

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE OF INDIVIDUAL TOURIST SERVICES

A) LEGAL PROVISIONS

Contracts concerning the provision of a single service, such as transportation, accommodation, or any other separate tourist service, which cannot be classified as a travel package or organized tour, are governed by the following provisions of the CCV: Art. 1, nos. 3 and 6; Arts. 17 to 23; Arts. 24 to 31 (limited to the parts of these provisions that do not pertain to the organization contract), as well as other specific agreements related to the sale of the individual service covered by the contract.

A seller who undertakes to provide a disaggregated tourist service to third parties, even via telematics, must issue the tourist with the relevant documents for the service, indicating the amount paid for the service.

The seller cannot, under any circumstances, be considered a travel organizer.

B) CONTRACT TERMS

The following clauses from the general terms and conditions for the sale of tourist packages mentioned above are also applicable to these contracts: Art. 6, paragraph 1; Art. 7, paragraph 2; Art. 13; Art. 18.

The application of these clauses does not, in any way, classify the related services as a tourist package. The terminology used in the referenced clauses concerning the tourist package contract (e.g., organizer, trip) must therefore be understood in relation to the corresponding figures in the contract for the sale of individual tourist services (e.g., seller, accommodation).

PRIVACY

Information pursuant to Art. 13 of Legislative Decree 196/03 (Personal Data Protection) The processing of personal data, which is necessary for the conclusion and execution of the contract, is carried out in full compliance with Legislative Decree 196/2003, both in paper and digital form. The data will be communicated solely to the service providers included in the travel package. The traveler may exercise their rights under Art. 7 of Legislative Decree 196/03 at any time by contacting S-Cape Countryside Travels Srl (info@sloways.eu), the data controller.

CIVIL LIABILITY AND INSOLVENCY/BANKRUPCY POLICY

Within the framework of tourist packages, travelers benefit from protection in case of insolvency or bankruptcy of the organizer or seller, regardless of their place of residence, departure location, or the location where the package is sold, and regardless of the Member State in which the entity providing protection in case of insolvency or bankruptcy is established.

To this end, SloWays, to fully comply with this obligation, for trips abroad and trips within a single country, including those in Italy, in cases of insolvency or bankruptcy pursuant to Art. 47 of the Tourism Code, has entered into an agreement with Fondo Vacanze Felici (registration number 2632), which guarantees, upon request by the registered User/traveler, reimbursement of the amount paid for the purchase of the package and the immediate repatriation of the traveler if the package includes transportation services for the traveler (Tel. 02 – 92979050).

All prices are expressed in Euros.
