TERMS & CONDITIONS
Please read them carefully as they set out our bilateral respective rights and obligations
GENERAL
The following General Terms & Conditions form the basis of your relationship with TRAVELIXIR (legal entity: Travelixir ltd) as a company. These General Terms & Conditions apply to all bookings of individual travel components or services that you make with TRAVELIXIR as set out in more detail herein.
References to "you" and "your" in these General Terms & Conditions mean all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date). “Group leader” shall mean the person which is making a booking by using our platform. “We” “us” and “our” means TRAVELIXIR. "Supplier" shall mean the party that owns, manages and/or operates the travel components or services.
YOUR TRAVEL COMPONENT BOOKING AND CONTRACT
To confirm a booking, the party leader must be authorized to make the booking on the basis of these General Terms & Conditions as well as the General Terms & Conditions of the supplier concerned, by all persons named on the booking, and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, the party leader confirms that he/she is so authorized. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to us or the supplier concerned. The party leader must be at least 18 years old when the booking is made.
Once we have received your booking, we will, subject to availability, confirm your arrangements on behalf of the supplier concerned by issuing a confirmation. This confirmation will be sent to the party leader. Please check this confirmation carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. We will take no responsibility for any errors in any documentation except where those errors are caused by us. Subject to this, we regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within 2 days of our sending it out. We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved in doing so. The only exception to this requirement to meet costs is where the mistake in question was made by us and there is good reason why you did not tell us about it within these time limits.
A binding contract between you and the supplier concerned comes into existence when we send your confirmation on the supplier’s behalf to the party leader and the terms and conditions of the supplier, in addition to these conditions, will be applicable to the contract.
TRAVELIXIR THE COMPANY
Travelixir – the company- offers and sells individual travel components and services separately to you. We act as an agent only in respect of all bookings we take or make on your behalf. For all bookings your contract will be established directly between you and the supplier of the travel components or services and no contractual relationship between you and TRAVELIXIR shall be established. You understand that where you have chosen more than one travel component or service, you will be entering into multiple contracts. As a travel company we accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any travel components such as accommodation and/or transfers (“arrangements”) and/or any other travel services that you book or for the acts or omissions of any accommodation and/or transfer provider (“supplier(s)”) or other person(s) or party(ies) connected with the arrangements. The supplier's general terms & conditions, the supplier’s travel package description on our website and the individual offer description we have set up for you on behalf of the supplier will apply to your contract with the supplier. Copies of supplier's general terms & conditions and the supplier’s travel package description are to be found on the trip detail pages of our website. If no supplier general terms & conditions are to be found common travel laws will apply. Alternatively we will endeavor (but undertake no liability to do so) to make copies of the terms and conditions of the contracts you enter into available to you at your request. If the supplier terms are contradictory to the terms below then the terms below overrule the supplier terms.
All communications relating to your booking must be sent to us by email by the party leader quoting the booking reference.
RESERVATIONS, VOUCHERS & PAYMENTS
If you make a booking more than 60 days before you are due to arrive at your booked accommodation or before the first service of your booked travel starts, you must pay a deposit of at least 50% of the total booking value. If your booking is made less than 60 days before you are due to arrive at your accommodation, full payment is required at the time of booking. If we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we are entitled to assume (on behalf of the supplier(s) concerned) that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, we will be entitled to keep all monies paid or due at that date. If we do not cancel straight away because you have promised to make payment, you must pay the cancellation charges depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled on behalf of the supplier(s) concerned. Payment for incidental extras or not mentioned in our packages (e.g. mini bars, telephone charges, etc.) must be made directly to the accommodation provider before you check out.
As we act only as agent for the supplier(s) concerned, we reserve the right to pass on to you in full all additional costs and charges of whatever nature imposed by the supplier(s) in accordance with its own terms and conditions.
All reservations are on request basis and subject to availability. The country of the origin and the nationality of the clients need to be specified clearly upon the reservation. All reservations and cancellations must be sent and confirmed to Travelixir by email or letter to the above contact
details. In order to ensure that special offers are applied in the correct way to bookings, special offers must be clearly marked on all requests. Travelixir will revert with an accommodation voucher which must be passed on to the client and presented at the resort upon check-in.
Any additional services (extras, meals etc.) rendered by the Resort which have not been indicated in the voucher and those which are not part of this Contract, must be settled directly between the Resort and the guest before the departure of the guest from the Resort.
All bookings falling in the cancellation period will only be confirmed when the payment is received in full. Travelixir reserves the right to cancel the bookings should payment not be received in the stipulated timeframe.
i) Payments Methods and extra costs: (USD - US dollar / EURO / UK Pound)
★ Bank Transfer: + 0% (International Banks in UAE / ITALY)
★ Cash: + 0% (Place to be determined)
★ Credit Cards (PayPal or Stripe): + 4.4%
★ BitCoins: +3%
SPECIAL REQUESTS
If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements, baby cots, room locations) please advise us at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the supplier(s) of the arrangements you have booked, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee that they will be met. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier(s) or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met and the request will not become a contractual obligation of the supplier concerned. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability. Further, if the supplier(s) is unable to meet any such requests, neither we, nor they, will have any liability to you in this respect.
We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfillment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests. * Please note, cots and other special requests may only be available at an extra charge unless otherwise expressly stated in the description of the accommodation/arrangement in question.
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your booking, please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. In any event, you must give full details in writing at the time of booking. If we or the supplier reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right on behalf of the supplier(s) concerned to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel the contract on behalf of the supplier(s) concerned when we become aware of these details.
IF YOU WISH TO MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR BOOKING
Should you wish to make an amendment to your booking after it has been confirmed you must advise us as soon as possible. Whilst we will try to assist you we regret amendment requests cannot always be met. Where an amendment can be made, any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of the suppliers of your arrangements need to be paid by you. The minimum fee for booking amendments is USD 100-.
If you change the number of people booked, the total price of your booking will be re-calculated for the new party size. If for example the party is reduced in number, this may mean that any accommodation you have booked is under-occupied and each of the remainder of the party may have to pay more. If you wish to make any change to the booking while on holiday (e.g. upgrading accommodation or extending your stay), all requests are subject to availability and any extra cost must be paid immediately.
IF YOU CANCEL YOUR BOOKING
If you wish to cancel a confirmed booking, you must advise us as soon as possible. Cancellation charges will apply and will be calculated as set out in the table below:

Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places and/ or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly. Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned.
CHANGES TO AND CANCELLATION OF YOUR BOOKING BY SUPPLIER
If there is a change to or cancellation of your booking we will pass on the new details to you together with any compensation that the supplier may offer. As agent only for the supplier we cannot accept any liability for any changes or cancellations made to your booking.
BEST PRICE GUARANTEE
We want you to pay the lowest price possible for your travel component or service. Should you find your Resort room, Villa or Luxury Service with the same booking conditions, at a lower rate on the Internet, we will match the difference between our rate and the lower rate under the terms and conditions of our Best Price Guarantee.
YOUR TRAVEL DESTINATION
By offering for sale travel product components to particular destinations we do not represent or warrant that travel to any such destination is advisable or free from political or heath risks and we are not liable for damages for damage or losses that may result from travel to such destinations. You are strongly advised to review any travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by applicable government institutions prior to booking travel to international destinations.
CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these conditions, we regret we cannot accept any liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations to you is prevented or affected by a third party, the supplier concerned as well as in cases where you suffer any damage or loss as a result of "force majeure". In these General Terms & Conditions, "force majeure" means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, actual or threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU
We act only as an agent for the supplier(s) concerned. Your contract for your arrangements is directly with the supplier(s) concerned. We accept no liability in relation to the arrangements themselves or for the acts or omissions of the supplier(s) concerned. For all bookings, the terms and conditions of the supplier will apply to your contract.
However, in the event that we are found liable on any basis whatsoever in relation to your booking our maximum liability to you if we are found to have been at fault in relation to any service we provide as agent for the supplier(s) concerned (as opposed to any service provided by the supplier(s) for whom we are not responsible) is limited to twice the cost of the booking in question. We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury which arises as a result of our gross negligence.
COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your arrangements whilst away, you must immediately inform the supplier or provider of the arrangement(s) in question. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to the suppliers `representative as soon as possible. Please bear in mind that we act only as agent for the supplier(s) concerned and therefore cannot accept any liability for your arrangements. However we will be willing to assist you in your claims. Please inform us as quickly as possible. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. Any assistance provided in resolving a complaint in relation to any arrangements is provided on a goodwill basis and in our capacity as agent only.
BEHAVIOUR
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the supplier(s) concerned. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. Suppliers reserve the right at any time to terminate your stay/transfer or that of any member of your party due to your misconduct, where justified in their reasonable opinion. No refunds will be given. Furthermore, neither the suppliers nor we shall be under any obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses you may incur as a result of your stay/transfer being terminated.
WEBSITE AND PRICING DETAILS
Please note that the information and prices shown on this website may have changed by the time you come to book your arrangements. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the website and prices at the time of printing, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at the time of booking.
Please double check currency conversions with your local bank.
There may be differences between the actual accommodation and its description. Occasionally, local problems may mean that some facilities or services become unavailable or subject to restriction. Some facilities or services may not be available during the low season owing changes in the weather or lack of demand from guests. We cannot accept responsibility for any changes or closures to area amenities or attractions. We cannot accept responsibility for any inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information about any accommodation or its facilities and/or services, except in the case of our gross negligence. Your rights in this regard are determined according to the terms & conditions of the supplier of your arrangement.
PASSPORTS, VISAS AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
It is the party leader’s responsibility to ensure that all members of the party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you or any member of your party are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry correct documentation. You must check passport and visa requirements with the Embassy or Consulate of the country(ies) to or through which you are intending to travel. If failure to have any necessary travel or other documents results to fines, surcharges or other financial penalty being imposed on us, you will be responsible for reimbursing us accordingly.
INSURANCE
We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential. If you need help with that, we can solve it. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs. We do not check alternative insurance policies.
