Refund Policy

Last Updated: May 15, 2024

Introduction

At European Adventures, we understand that plans can change. This Refund Policy outlines our procedures and guidelines for refunds and cancellations. By making a purchase or booking through our Website, you agree to the terms of this Refund Policy.

Definitions

In this Refund Policy, the following definitions apply:

  • "Booking" refers to any reservation made through our Website for travel services, accommodations, or experiences.
  • "Digital Products" refers to downloadable travel guides, e-books, or other digital content purchased through our Website.
  • "Travel Services" refers to guided tours, custom itineraries, or other travel-related services provided by European Adventures or our partners.

Travel Service Bookings

Standard Cancellation Policy

For bookings of Travel Services, the following cancellation policy applies unless otherwise specified at the time of booking:

Time Before Start Date Refund Amount
60+ days Full refund minus a 10% administrative fee
30-59 days 75% refund
14-29 days 50% refund
7-13 days 25% refund
0-6 days No refund

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to [email protected]. The date of receipt of your cancellation request will determine the applicable refund amount.

Special Circumstances

We understand that unexpected circumstances may require you to cancel your booking. In cases of serious illness, bereavement, or other exceptional circumstances, we may, at our discretion, offer a more flexible refund or the option to reschedule your booking. Supporting documentation may be required.

Group Bookings

For group bookings (5 or more travelers), the following modified cancellation policy applies:

Time Before Start Date Refund Amount
90+ days Full refund minus a 15% administrative fee
60-89 days 75% refund
30-59 days 50% refund
0-29 days No refund

Partner Services

Some Travel Services are provided by our partners, who may have their own cancellation and refund policies. In such cases, the partner's policy will be clearly communicated during the booking process and will take precedence over our standard policy.

Digital Products

Return Policy for Digital Products

Due to the nature of Digital Products, all sales are final, and we do not offer refunds once the digital content has been downloaded or accessed. However, if you experience technical issues that prevent you from accessing your purchased Digital Product, please contact us at [email protected] within 7 days of purchase, and we will work to resolve the issue or provide a replacement.

Satisfaction Guarantee

We stand behind the quality of our Digital Products. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, please contact us within 14 days of purchase at [email protected] with details about your concerns. We may, at our discretion, offer a replacement product or store credit.

Subscriptions and Memberships

Cancellation of Subscriptions

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings on our Website or by contacting [email protected]. Upon cancellation:

  • Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period.
  • You will not be charged for future billing periods.
  • No refunds are provided for the current billing period.

Annual Subscriptions

For annual subscriptions, if you cancel within 14 days of the start of your subscription or renewal, you may be eligible for a prorated refund for the unused portion of your subscription. After 14 days, no refunds will be issued for cancellations of annual subscriptions.

Changes Made by European Adventures

Service Modifications

If we need to make significant changes to a Travel Service you have booked, we will notify you as soon as possible and offer you the choice of:

  • Accepting the modified service
  • Booking an alternative service of equivalent or higher value at no extra cost (if available)
  • Booking an alternative service of lower value with a refund of the price difference
  • Cancelling your booking and receiving a full refund

Service Cancellations

In the rare event that we need to cancel a Travel Service, you will be offered the choice of:

  • Booking an alternative service of equivalent or higher value at no extra cost (if available)
  • Booking an alternative service of lower value with a refund of the price difference
  • Receiving a full refund

If we cancel a Travel Service due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g., natural disasters, pandemic restrictions, or government travel advisories), we will offer you the option to rebook at a later date or receive a credit voucher valid for 18 months. If these options are not suitable, please contact us to discuss alternatives.

Refund Processing

Refund Method

Refunds will be processed using the same payment method used for the original purchase. If this is not possible, we will contact you to arrange an alternative refund method.

Processing Time

Refunds will be processed within 14 business days of approval. However, the time it takes for the refund to appear in your account depends on your payment provider and may take an additional 5-10 business days.

Currency and Exchange Rates

If your original payment was made in a currency different from your local currency, the refund amount may vary due to exchange rate fluctuations. European Adventures is not responsible for any differences resulting from exchange rate changes.

Non-Refundable Items

The following items are non-refundable under all circumstances:

  • Travel insurance premiums
  • Visa application fees
  • Service fees for changes to bookings
  • Any portion of services already used or delivered

Requesting a Refund

To request a refund, please:

  1. Contact us at [email protected]
  2. Include your booking reference number or order number
  3. Provide details about the reason for your refund request
  4. Include any supporting documentation if applicable (e.g., medical certificate for illness-related cancellations)

We will review your request and respond within 5 business days.

Disputes and Complaints

If you are dissatisfied with our decision regarding your refund request, please contact our customer service team at [email protected] with a detailed explanation of your concerns. We are committed to resolving all disputes fairly and promptly.

If we are unable to resolve the dispute directly, you may be entitled to use alternative dispute resolution services. For customers in the European Union, you can access the Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Last Updated" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review this Refund Policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
