In such a case, the Passenger is also responsible for all incurred costs and damages.
13.8. Obligation to inform about circumstances affecting the trip
The traveler is obliged to inform the Agency during the application and at any time after the application for the reservation of the package arrangement has been made about all the circumstances related to the health condition and habits of all passengers covered by his application for the reservation of the package arrangement if such circumstances could threaten or significantly complicate the realization of the trip or the health and the Passenger’s life, such as the need for a special diet, information about chronic diseases, allergies, disability, and the like.
The Agency will forward the Passenger’s request for a special type of meal to the service providers upon receipt of the request, but is not responsible for non-fulfillment of the request in the event that they are unable to offer the requested type of meal or if the service providers make omissions when implementing the request.
The travel program may require that the Traveler meets certain conditions regarding personal characteristics, for example, a certain age, a certain state of health, a certain physical condition, and the like. In this case, the Traveler can use the Agency’s services only if he meets the set conditions. The traveler is obliged to provide the Agency with accurate information about the conditions set in this way. If the Traveler does not meet the conditions set in this way or has provided incorrect information to the Agency, the Agency may terminate the Agreement with the effect that it was terminated by the Traveler and demand payment of all incurred costs and damages from the Traveler.

The traveler is obliged, without undue delay and taking into account the circumstances, to notify the Agency of any non-compliance that he finds during the performance of the travel service included in the package travel contract.
13.10. Passenger behavior at the destination
The traveler is obliged to comply with all the rules and house rules of the accommodation facility, especially regarding the time of starting to use the accommodation unit (check-in), the time of leaving it (check-out), as well as regarding the use of the accommodation unit and other contents of the accommodation facility. Unless otherwise specified, check-in and check-in can be done after 14:00 (or 16:00) on the day of arrival, and leaving the accommodation and check-out must be done no later than 10:00 a.m. on the day of departure, unless individual accommodation facilities have different rules for entering and leaving the accommodation unit. When possible, the Agency, in cooperation with the accommodation facility, will try to ensure group check-in earlier than officially scheduled, which will depend on the availability and occupancy of the accommodation facility on the day of check-in. If the check-in and check-out times for an individual accommodation facility are different from those listed here, the Traveler will be informed of this directly by the accommodation facility when checking in to the accommodation facility.
If the Traveler in any way endangers the safety, peace or comfort of other Travelers, third parties or endangers, complicates or prevents the regular development of the Travel Program, the Agency has the right to terminate the trip for that Traveler, in which case the Traveler is not entitled to compensation or refund of any funds paid for the trip, and is also responsible for compensation for damages that could result from his actions. In the event that such a passenger is a minor, the Passenger responsible for such a person is obliged to ensure the minor’s return home at his own expense.
The traveler undertakes to comply with all reasonable instructions of the tour leader or other representative of the Agency. In case of any dissatisfaction, the Traveler is obliged to cooperate in good faith with the tour leader or other representative of the Agency and to try to resolve the matter of dissatisfaction without disturbing other Travelers, third parties, and damaging the reputation of the Agency.
During the trip, the passenger is obliged to comply with the rules on personal safety to the extent that any average person would apply. The Agency is not responsible for the Passenger’s actions concerning his personal responsibility.
In case of any violation of the Agreement or positive regulations, the Passenger is responsible for the resulting damage as well as for any other damage caused and suffered by the Agency, other passengers, service providers or third parties. The passenger will pay for any damage he causes on the spot directly to the person he caused damage to. For any such damage that the Agency might settle on his behalf, the Agency has the right of recourse upon returning from the trip. In the event of a violation of the Agreement or positive regulations and damage by the Passenger, the joint and several liability of all passengers on the same reservation application for its compensation is determined.
14. COMPLAINT RESOLUTION
The passenger has the right to complain about the unfulfilled contracted service. The traveler is obliged to submit a written complaint to the Agency within 8 days of the end of the trip. Objections filed after the deadline will not be taken into consideration. It is the obligation and in the interest of the Traveler to act in good faith and to express his will to resolve the complaint during the trip and to send his written complaint to the service provider on the spot (reception, transporter, restaurateur or travel agency at the destination) and to request a written confirmation from the service provider that received a complaint. Each customer complaint is submitted separately. The Agency will not consider group complaints. The agency is obliged to respond in writing to the complaint within 15 days after receiving the complaint. If necessary, in order to collect information and verify the allegations from the complaint, the Agency can postpone the deadline for providing an answer for another 15 days, and it is obliged to inform the Traveler who submitted the complaint in writing. The Agency will resolve only those complaints for which the Traveler provides proof that he sent a written complaint to the service provider on the spot and that the cause could not be eliminated on the spot. If, due to the Agency’s fault, the Program or part of the services were not fulfilled, the Traveler has the right to compensation equal to the actual value of the unused services. In the case of concluding a contract according to the “Fortuna system” or according to the “Last minute offer”, the Traveler has no right to object to the accommodation. Until the Agency gives a written response to the complaint, the Traveler renounces mediation by any other person, judicial institution or providing information to the media. The traveler and the Agency will try to resolve all disagreements amicably, according to the prescribed procedure, and if this is not possible, the jurisdiction of the court in Zagreb and the application of Croatian law are agreed upon, with the exception of the provisions of international private law.
15. PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
