(a) pay the price set for the Travel Package;

Some countries and cities require a vaccination certificate against certain diseases (such as, for example, yellow fever, among others). It is important to check what requirements are established for the contracted destination, including for connections and layovers, as far in advance as possible before the departure date.
Failure to comply with any of the above provisions will give Vivenciar Turismo the right to cancel, in whole or in part, the contract signed for the Travel Package or Tour, charging a penalty equivalent to 100% (one hundred percent) of the value of said Travel Package or Tour, and the Client may also be held liable for damages and losses arising from the breach of contract, in accordance with current legislation.
The Client must inform Vivenciar Turismo, at the time of purchasing the Travel Package or Tour, of any limitations or impediments affecting themselves or their family members or companions, due to illness, physical or mental disability, or any other cause that may hinder or impair the Client or require special care during the contracted activity. Vivenciar Turismo will make its best efforts to ensure that the Client, even with any limitations, can participate in the Travel Package or Tour. However, due to Vivenciar Turismo's duty to provide quality, safe, and responsible services, Vivenciar Turismo reserves the right to exclude or remove the Client if the activity is unsafe for them or the group, making the necessary financial adjustments.
5. Loss of Items
It is the Client's responsibility to safeguard their personal belongings, such as money, jewelry, equipment, and other items of sentimental or monetary value.
Vivenciar Turismo is exempt from any responsibility regarding the loss of items that are under the direct responsibility of travelers or third parties. Any items that, under any circumstances, are considered lost by Clients must be claimed by them directly at the locations where the loss occurred or with the competent authorities in that locality.
6. SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS OF TRAVEL PACKAGES OR SERVICES
Any changes and cancellations of travel packages, flights, accommodation, activities and vehicle rentals must always be made in advance by calling 41 998138089.
Cancellation refers to the partial or total withdrawal from the trip and/or contracted services, as well as changes to departure, entry and/or exit and return dates, requested by the Client, for any reason. In these cases, Vivenciar Turismo will be responsible for making financial refunds of the amounts in its possession (deducting agreed penalties, administrative and operational fees, and any losses and damages incurred). If the direct suppliers refuse to make the corresponding financial refund for any reason, the client may, if entitled, claim such amounts from each of the direct suppliers. Regardless, Vivenciar Turismo is also responsible for making efforts to benefit the client by communicating with these direct suppliers. To this end, it will contact them in order to request possible financial refunds, less unavoidable losses and damages. The result of this attempt will be communicated to the client.
If the client signs the contract less than 15 days before the start of services, they will not be entitled to cancel or withdraw from the contract. Failure to appear at the time and place scheduled for the start of services, arrival after the service has begun, or any other similar event constitutes a withdrawal from the contracted services. Governmental or regulatory actions, or health situations, also fall under this category. Cancellation by the client after the start of the trip, which will also constitute a breach of contract, will be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the client.
7. CHANGES TO TRAVEL PACKAGES OR SERVICES BY THE CLIENT
Any changes to the Travel Package by the customer will subject the customer to a penalty equal to the originally contracted amount.
For changes to only one component of the travel package (air transport or accommodation, activities or rental), the aforementioned penalty applies to the value of that component. If a change to one component affects other components of the Travel Package, the penalty will be applied to the total value of the Package.
In addition to the sanctions established above, the Client will be responsible for any fines charged directly by the hosting service provider and for other contracted services that are subsequently modified.
