Orders paid by ordinary bank transfer will be processed only upon receipt of payment in Italy Travels' bank account.

10. LIABILITY

 

Italy Travels is liable for damages caused to the customer due to total or partial failure to provide the services described in the contract, whether implemented by itself or by third party suppliers, unless it proves that the event is the responsibility of the customer (including initiatives taken by the customer independently during the provision of tourist services), or on events not related to the provision of services described in the contract, due to accidents, force majeure, or circumstances that Italy Travels could not reasonably foresee or resolve based on the principle of professional diligence. The intermediary through whom the reservation was made is not liable in any case for the obligations arising from the organization of the tour but is responsible only for the obligations arising from its quality of intermediary and in any case within the limits of such liability provided by the laws or conventions mentioned above. Italy Travels is also responsible for the protection of the privacy of the data communicated by the customers, only from the moment the data are stored in its database and not during their transmission.

 

11. COMPENSATION LIMITS

 

In no case may the compensation paid by Italy Travels be higher than the compensatory indemnities laid out in the international conventions, with reference to the services whose non-fulfillment is the cause of liability, i.e. the Warsaw Convention of 1929 on the international air transport, the text modified in the Hague in 1955; the Bern Convention (CIV) on the railway transport; the Brussels Convention of 1970 (CCV).
In any event, the limit of indemnity may not exceed the amount of 2,000 Germinal gold francs for damage to property, set out in Article 13, no. 2 CCV and 5,000 Germinal gold francs for any other damage, as well as those set out in Article 1783 of the Civil Code. If these conventions are changed, the indemnity limit will be applied according to the law in effect at the time of the adverse event.

 

12. DUTY OF ASSISTANCE

 

Italy Travels is obliged to provide customer service on the basis of a principle of professional diligence, exclusively with reference to its obligations or by contract or legal regulation.

13. COMPLAINTS AND CLAIMS

 

Any failure to perform the service must be communicated by the customer immediately, in order to give Italy Travels or its representative on site the opportunity to find a remedy immediately.
