3.1 Insolvency insurance
6 cancellation before the start of the trip/compensation
7.4 Transfer of contract to substitute person
11. passport, visa and health regulations
Please pay attention to these terms and conditions, as by making a booking you recognise these terms and conditions, which will be sent to you prior to booking. They apply to all trips. They supplement the statutory provisions of §§ 651a - y BGB and Art. 250 and 252 EGBGB (Introductory Act to the German Civil Code) for package holidays and §§ 535 ff BGB and §§ 631 ff. BGB for contracts for pure accommodation or pure transport and complete these. These travel conditions do not apply to brokered individual services (e.g. cruises, hire cars and campers, holiday homes, parking, travel protection, excursions & tickets, sporting events and benefit partners) or the brokerage of associated travel services within the meaning of Section 651w BGB.
1 Conclusion of the contract
The travel registration in accordance with the invitation to tender shall become binding upon receipt by meinpep. The applicant shall also be responsible for all persons listed in the registration, insofar as he has assumed this obligation by means of an express separate declaration. The contract shall be concluded upon receipt of the travel confirmation / invoice by meinpep. Upon or immediately after conclusion of the contract, meinpep shall send the traveller a travel confirmation on a permanent data carrier in accordance with the statutory requirements when booking a package tour, unless the traveller is entitled to a travel confirmation in paper form in accordance with Art. 250 § 6 para. 1 sentence 2 EGBGB because the contract was concluded in the simultaneous physical presence of both parties or outside of business premises. Local and hotel brochures as well as internet advertisements that are not published by meinpep are not binding for meinpep and its obligation to perform, unless they are made the subject of the travel advertisement or the content of meinpep's obligation to perform by express agreement with the customer.
If the content of the confirmation deviates from the booking content, a new contractual offer shall exist, to which meinpep shall be bound for a period of 10 days. The contract shall be concluded on the basis of this new offer if meinpep has pointed out the change with regard to the new offer and has fulfilled its pre-contractual information obligations and the traveller confirms this within the binding period by express declaration of acceptance or declares the down payment.
Please note that for all of the above-mentioned booking types, there is no right of cancellation for package travel contracts and contracts for individual tourist services concluded at a distance after conclusion of the contract due to the statutory provision of Section 312 g (2) sentence 1 no. 9 BGB. Cancellation and termination of the contract, on the other hand, is possible in accordance with the provision in section 6.
In the case of third-party services (e.g. car hire, flight-only) or package holiday offers (e.g. cruises) expressly and clearly described as arranged in the brochure, travel documents and other declarations, meinpep is merely a travel agent. In this respect, meinpep shall only be liable for the brokerage, but not for the brokered services themselves (cf. Sections 675, 631 BGB). Any further liability is excluded. Excluded from the limitation of liability in accordance with this clause is liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health and for other damages, insofar as the latter are based at least on a grossly negligent breach of duty by meinpep or its legal representative or a vicarious agent. Liability for the breach of material contractual obligations shall also be excluded from the limitation of liability pursuant to sentence 2. The provisions of Section 1.2 and the following shall apply mutatis mutandis to the conclusion of the contract.
The provisions of clause 1 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the conclusion of the contract.

In this case, meinpep shall be obliged to specifically quantify and justify the compensation claimed, taking into account the expenses saved and less what it acquires through other use of the travel service.

Similarly, changes to the destination can only be made after withdrawal from the travel contract under the conditions set out in section 6.1 or 6.2 and simultaneous re-registration. The travel applicant is responsible for coordinating their change requests with any other travel services they have booked.
7.4 The applicant may nominate substitute persons for himself and/or fellow travelers.

If a third party takes the place of the registered participant, meinpep shall be entitled to charge a lump sum of EUR 50,00 to service providers (e.g. airlines) for the processing costs incurred as a result of the participation of the substitute person, in addition to any additional costs incurred as a result. You are at liberty to prove that no or significantly lower costs were incurred with the entry of the third party.
8 Services not used
If the traveler does not make use of individual travel services that were duly offered to him for reasons attributable to him (e.g. due to early return or other compelling reasons), he shall not be entitled to a pro rata refund of the travel price. meinpep shall endeavor to obtain reimbursement of the expenses saved by the service providers. This obligation shall not apply in the case of completely insignificant services or if statutory or official regulations prevent reimbursement and the equivalent value of the service is less than EUR 50.00. meinpep reserves the right to charge a processing fee.
9 Withdrawal/rebooking on the part of meinpep
9.1 meinpep may withdraw from the travel contract up to 20 days before the start of the trip if the advertised or officially specified number of participants is not reached, if the travel advertisement and the travel confirmation refer to the fact that the trip will only be carried out if a certain number of participants is reached. The travel price already paid shall then be refunded immediately, but in any case within 14 days of receipt of the declaration of withdrawal.
9.2 meinpep may withdraw from the contract before the start of the tour if it is prevented from fulfilling the contract due to unavoidable, extraordinary circumstances; in this case, it must declare its withdrawal immediately after becoming aware of the reason for withdrawal. If meinpep withdraws from the contract, meinpep shall lose its claim to the agreed travel price.
9.3 Travel advice from the Federal Foreign Office is available on the Internet at www.auswaertiges-amt.de and by calling (030) 5000-2000
10 Termination for reasons of conduct
meinpep may terminate the travel contract without notice if the traveler persistently disrupts the contract despite a warning from meinpep or if the traveler behaves contrary to the contract to such an extent that the immediate termination of the contract is justified.
11 Passport, visa, health and entry requirements for package tours
11.1 When booking a package tour, meinpep shall inform the customer / traveler about general passport and visa requirements as well as health formalities of the country of destination, including the approximate deadlines for obtaining the necessary visas, prior to the conclusion of the contract and, if necessary, about any changes up to the start of the trip.
11.2 The traveler is responsible for complying with all regulations relevant to the execution of the trip. All disadvantages, in particular the payment of cancellation costs arising from non-compliance with these regulations, shall be borne by the traveler, unless they are caused by culpable misinformation or non-information on the part of meinpep.
11.3 meinpep shall not be liable for the timely issuance and receipt of necessary visas by the respective diplomatic representation if you have commissioned meinpep to obtain them, unless meinpep is responsible for the delay. You should allow approximately 8 weeks for obtaining visas etc. from the relevant authorities.
11.4 Please refer to the pre-contractual information as to whether a passport is required for your trip or whether an identity card is sufficient, and please ensure that your passport or identity card is valid for a sufficient period of time for the trip. Children require their own travel documents.
11.5 Customs and foreign exchange regulations are very strict in various countries. Please inform yourself carefully and be sure to follow the regulations.
11.6 Various countries require certain vaccination certificates, which must not be less than 8 days old and not older than 3 years (smallpox) or 10 years (yellow fever). Such vaccination certificates must also be presented to the German authorities if you are returning from certain countries (e.g. Africa, Middle East). Please refer to the pre-contractual information for the relevant information.
12 Limitation of liability
12.1 meinpep's contractual liability for damages that are not physical injury and were not culpably caused shall be limited to three times the travel price. Any claims in excess thereof under international agreements or statutory provisions based on such agreements shall remain unaffected by this limitation.
12.2 meinpep shall not be liable for service disruptions, personal injury and property damage in connection with services that are merely arranged as third-party services (e.g. excursions, sporting events, theater visits, exhibitions, transportation services from and to the advertised point of departure and destination) if these services are expressly and clearly identified as third-party services in the travel description and the booking confirmation, stating the arranged contractual partner, so that they are recognizably not part of meinpep's travel services for the traveler. meinpep shall, however, be liable
a) for services that include the transportation of the traveler from the advertised point of departure to the advertised destination, intermediate transportation during the trip and accommodation during the trip,
b) if and to the extent that the damage suffered by the traveller is caused by a breach of meinpep's obligations to provide information, clarification or organization.
13 Duty of the traveler to cooperate
13.1 If a travel service is not provided or is not provided free of travel defects, the traveler may demand redress. meinpep may refuse redress if it is impossible or involves disproportionate costs.
13.2 The traveler may demand a reduction of the travel price if travel services have not been provided free of travel defects and the traveler has not culpably failed to report the defect immediately (without culpable delay). The travel participant is obliged to notify either the hotel on site or meinpep itself immediately of any defects occurring at the start of or during the trip in order to give meinpep the opportunity to remedy the situation. Termination for good cause due to unreasonableness of the continuation of the trip remains unaffected by this.
13.3 If meinpep is unable to remedy the situation as a result of a culpable failure to report a defect, the traveler may neither assert claims for a reduction in price pursuant to § 651m nor claims for damages pursuant to § 651n.
13.4 If a customer/traveler wishes to terminate the travel contract due to a significant travel defect of the type specified in § 651 i BGB in accordance with § 651 l BGB or for good cause recognizable by meinpep due to unreasonableness, he must first set meinpep a reasonable deadline for remedial action. This shall only not apply if remedial action is impossible or is refused by meinpep or if the immediate termination of the contract is justified by a special interest of the customer/traveler recognizable by meinpep.
13.5 In the case of package tours, meinpep refers to the duty to provide assistance in accordance with Section 651 q BGB, according to which, in the case of Section 651 k (4) BGB or for other reasons of difficulty, assistance must be provided to the traveler without delay in an appropriate manner, in particular by providing suitable information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, assistance in establishing long-distance communication links and assistance in finding other travel options. Section 651 k (3) BGB remains unaffected.
14 Exclusion of claims, limitation period
14.1 The traveler must assert contractual claims against meinpep. It is recommended that claims be asserted on a durable medium. Contractual claims shall become time-barred after two years in accordance with § 651 j BGB. The limitation period shall commence on the day on which the trip should end according to the contract. Otherwise, the statutory provisions shall apply.
14.2 meinpep strongly recommends that damage or delays in delivery during air travel be reported immediately on the spot to the responsible airline by means of a damage report (P.I.R.). As a rule, airlines refuse refunds if the damage report has not been completed. The damage report must be submitted within 7 days in the case of damaged baggage and within 21 days of delivery in the case of delayed baggage. Otherwise, the loss, damage or misdirection of baggage must be reported to the tour guide or meinpep.
15 Identity of the operating air carrier
If the travel contract includes carriage by air, the traveler will be informed at the time of booking of the identity and name of the operating air carrier of all air transport services to be provided as part of the booked trip. If the identity of the air carrier has not yet been determined at the time of booking the trip, the traveler will be informed of the airline or airlines that are likely to operate the flight or flights and the traveler will be informed immediately as soon as this has been finally determined. If the airline notified to the traveler changes, meinpep must inform the traveler of the change without delay. The organizer must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the traveler is informed of the change as soon as possible. The list of airlines with an EU operating ban is available on the following page: http://air-ban.europa.eu.
16 Consumer dispute resolution/OS platform
The European Commission provides a platform for the online settlement of consumer disputes at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. meinpep participates in this voluntary procedure for alternative dispute resolution.

The premiums for insurance are not part of the tour price and are due for payment immediately upon taking out the insurance. It is also not possible to withdraw from insurance contracts.
