13.5 Consumers shall also follow the general rules of prudence and diligence and the specific behaviour rules in force in the countries of destination, complying with all the information provided by the Organiser, as well as with rules, regulations and laws related to the package tour.

13.6 The Tourist shall provide the Organiser with all documents, information and evidence in its possession relevant to the Tourist's right to exercise the right of subrogation, pursuant to art. 48 of the Tourism Code against third parties responsible for the damage and is responsible to the Organiser for any prejudice to the right of subrogation.

13.7 The Tourist shall also communicate in writing to the Organiser, at the time of booking, any special personal requests that may be the subject of specific agreements on the travel arrangements, provided said requests can actually be satisfied.

13.8 The Tourist is obliged to inform the Organiser of any needs or special conditions that might affect the journey (pregnancy, food allergies, disabilities, etc ...) and to explicitly specify any special or customised service required.


14. HOTEL CLASSIFICATION

14.1 The official classification of hotels provided in the catalogue or in other information material is based exclusively on formal indications of the relevant classification authority of the country where the service is provided.

14.2 In absence of official classifications recognized by public authorities of the countries members of the EU where the service is provided, the Organiser reserves the right to provide in the catalogue or brochure a description of the accommodation in order to allow the Tourist to evaluate and choose it.   


15. LIMITS TO THE RESPONSABILITY

The Organiser is liable for damages caused to Tourists as a result of partial or full breach of contract, regardless of contract services being provided directly by the Organiser or by third party service providers, unless the Organiser proves that the event was caused by actions of the Tourist (including initiatives taken by the Tourist during the enjoyment of tourist services) or by the unforeseeable or unavoidable action of a third party, by unavoidable circumstances outside the scope of the services provided under this contract, by accident, by force majeure, or by circumstances that the Organiser could not, according to professional diligence, reasonably foresee or forestall.


16. CIVIL LIABILITY INSURANCE - COMPENSATION LIMITS

16.1 The compensation pursuant to Articles 44, 45 and 47 of the Tourism Code and its limits and expiry are governed by the provision in this document and in any case by the limits established by the CCV and by the International Conventions governing the services included in package tours as well as by Articles 1783 and 1784 of Civil Code.

16.2 For such compensation Bologna Welcome srl is covered by a special civil liability insurance, described in art. 2 above.   


17. OBLIGATION TO ASSIST

17.1 The Organiser shall provide assistance to tourists in compliance with the professional diligence criterion only and exclusively for what concerns the obligations provided for by the laws in force or by this contract.

17.2 The Organiser and the Agent are exempted from their responsibilities set forth in Articles 15 and 16 if and when their improper performance or non-performance of contract obligation is attributable to the Tourist, or depends on an unforeseeable or unavoidable action by a third party or was caused by a fortuitous or force majeure event.  


18. COMPLAINTS

The Tourist shall report any non-compliance of the contract suffered during their use of the package tour by promptly submitting a compliant so that the Organiser, its local representative or the tourist guide can remedy the situation promptly. Failure to do so will cause a reduction or the total cancellation of compensation of damages pursuant to art. 1227 of Civil Code.

The tourist shall also file a complaint by sending a registered letter with return receipt or other means guaranteeing proof of receipt to the Organiser, not later than ten working days from the Tourist's return to the journey's starting place. Failure to do so will void the complaint.  


19. INSURANCE AGAINST CANCELLATION AND RETURN COSTS

Unless these are not explicitly included in the package price, we recommend to subscribe, at the Organiser's office at the time of booking, a special insurance policy to cover costs related to package tour cancellation, injury and loss or damage to luggage. It is also possible to enter into a service contract covering the return travel to the Tourist's country in case of accidents, illness and/or force majeure. The Tourist shall exercise the rights under these contracts exclusively with Insurance Companies with which the policies have been stipulated at the terms and conditions and in the manner provided by these policies.  


20. TOOLS FOR ALTERNATIVE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

In compliance with the provisions of art. 67 of Tourism Code the Organiser may propose to the Tourist alternative modalities to solve disputes, either on the catalogue, the web site or elsewhere. In this case the Organiser shall detail the various types of alternative methods s and the effects that they have.  


21. GUARANTEE FUND

If these are not expressly included in the cost, it is possible and advisable, to request a special insurance policy regarding costs deriving from the cancellation of the Organised Package Holiday, injury, and baggage loss or damage. This can be done at the moment of order/reservation in the offices of the Travel Organiser or of the Intermediary. It is also possible to request an assistance contract which covers expenses related to repatriation in the case of injury or disease.
