Art.17 Liability for personal injury
Damages for personal injury to the consumer arising out of any failure to perform or inadequate performance of the obligations assumed with the contract, in accordance with the provisions of Art. 94 of the Consumer Code, shall never exceed the limits established by the International Conventions thereon. The liability of the Organiser to the consumer for any damages sustained due to any failure to perform or inadequate performance of the contractual obligations is regulated by the laws and international conventions referred to in the previous article 2. Therefore, under no circumstances shall the liability of the Organiser, for whatever reason, exceed the limits relating to the damages in question as provided for under the aforementioned laws and conventions. The travel agent (Retailer), from whom the tourist package was booked, shall not be liable in any way for the obligations deriving from the organisation of the trip, but shall be liable exclusively for the obligations deriving from his/her capacity as intermediary and in any case only to the extent as provided for under the aforementioned laws and conventions. In any event, any liability of the Organiser and the retailer shall be excluded should the damages claimed by the consumer depend on causes attributable to the consumer himself/herself, or attributable to a third party extraneous to the provision of the services stated in the contract, or due to a fortuitous event or to exceptional circumstances (force majeure). Moreover, the Organiser shall not be held liable for any damages that are derived from the provision of services by extraneous third parties and that are not part of the tourist package, or that derive from initiatives taken by the consumer himself/herself during the course of the trip. 

Art.18 Exemption of liability for personal injury and for other damages
Pursuant to art.96 of the Consumer Code, under no circumstances shall Wokita be held liable for any personal injury and/or for other damages to the consumer due to failure to perform or inadequate performance of the obligations assumed with the contract of sale of the tourist package when these events are due to: (a) the behaviour of the consumer, or (b) unforeseeable or unavoidable acts of a third party, or (c) fortuitous events, or (d) events related to exceptional circumstances (force majeure), or lastly (e) any other circumstances or events which Wokita, despite exercising all due care and professional diligence, would not reasonably have been able to foresee and/or remedy.

Art.19 Complaints and Claims
The consumer shall be held to notify the organiser without delay about any alleged failure to meet the contractual obligations so that Wokita, their local representative, or the group leader may remedy such failures at their earliest opportunity. The onus to report any failure to meet the contractual obligations without delay is understood to be on the consumer so that Wokita may perform their contractual obligations correctly: should any complaints fail to be made without delay, the consumer himself/herself may be considered partially liable. Moreover, the consumer, under penalty of forfeiture, must make any claim by sending a recorded delivery letter (with notification of receipt) to the organiser and to the retailer, within and not later than ten working days after returning to the point of departure. 

Art.20 Obligations of the Participants
For the entire duration of the trip the participants are held to be in possession of a valid passport or of any other admissible ID document as may be required for entry, transit, and/or travel in all of the countries included in the planned itinerary, as well as any travel visas and permits, medical and health certificates that may be required. The personal documents are also required when boarding any domestic flight. Moreover, the Travellers shall be held to behave with all due care and diligence as well as to abide by the rules and recommendations given by the organiser and the provisions of the administrative rules and regulations governing the tourist package. The Travellers shall be liable for any damages sustained by the organiser due to any failure on the part of the former to meet the contractual obligations during the course of the trip. The Consumer is held to provide the organiser with all the documents, information and any other details in his/her possession which may be of use so that the organiser may exercise their right of subrogation towards third parties who may be liable for damages. The client shall be considered liable to the organiser for any damages the former should cause the to the latter’s right to subrogation. On making the booking the Client may ask for particular services, either additional or alternative, that shall be subject to specific agreements, should the performance of the same prove possible. 

Art.21 Obligation to Assist

The organiser shall not be liable to the client for any breach on the part of retailer of the retailer’s contractual obligations.

Hotels Star ratings are used to symbolise the overall quality, level of service, food standard and range of facilities available in any given hotel property. The criteria applied within each country will vary depending on the specific requirements established by the relevant issuing body; however the outlines below will give a general understanding of what can typically be expected within each category: (THESE RATINGS ARE FOR INFORMATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT A GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND FROM WOKITA).

** Varying from small to medium sized properties offering more extensive facilities than in one star accommodation. Reception and staff will aim to provide a more professional service and offer a wider range of services than at one star level is likely to be found, including food and drink. Some rooms may be provided with en-suite facilities but this is not guaranteed. 

*** Hotels will be of a size which enables them to offer a higher quality service and a wider range of facilities. Reception and public areas will be more spacious. All bedrooms should come with en-suite facilities and room service may be available. 

**** At this level there should be a noticeable difference in the quality of the furnishings, décor and equipment. Bedrooms are usually more spacious than those found in lower starred properties. Services such as porters, 24-hour room service, laundry and dry cleaning may be available. 

***** These properties should provide spacious and luxurious accommodation throughout the hotel. Flawless attention to the guest's requirements should be provided.

  Cancellation administration charge 
  We levy a charge for any cancellation made prior to your collection date of any booking you are unable to honour (see below). 
  No refunds will be given for rentals which end early, or for late collections, or no shows or cancellations made after the rental start date, even if cancellation protection is taken.
  Vouchers must be returned as soon as possible and be received by us before the date on which they could be used otherwise no refund of any pre-payment will be made. 
  
  
  Period of rental 
  The duration of your rental starts and finishes according to the pick-up and drop-off dates and times detailed on your voucher, the price of which will be confirmed at time of booking and is calculated on the basis of 24-hour units. If you wish to extend the rental period after collection of the car, or if you return the car later than stated on your voucher, you will be charged locally at the local daily rate, which may be higher than our rates. No refunds are payable on cars returned early. 
  
  
  Special requests 
  Child seats: these are mandatory in most countries and must be requested at the time of booking. Although instructions will be provided, you will be required to fit the child seat yourself. For older children it is recommended that you take your own booster seats. If requested and confirmed at least 7 days prior to departure these will be guaranteed. 
  Roof racks and ski racks: these are available in some locations and should be specially requested at the time of booking. There is usually a charge for them which is payable locally. No guarantee can be made regarding their availability unless you book the 'ski max' (where available). 
  
  
  Amendment charges 
  Amendments to a booking will be subject to a €25 amendment fee. 
  
  
  Delivery and collection to and from accommodation 
  Collection and delivery is normally to and from the airport or local office. In some locations deliveries and collections elsewhere are available during normal working hours. If you would like your car to be delivered and/or collected, the full address and delivery and/or collection time must be given at the time of booking. A charge for delivery and collection payable locally may apply and will be stated at the booking if applicable. Delivery and collection charges are included if you book 'the max' as part of your rental (where available).
  Delivery and collection must be booked by phone and cannot be booked online at this time.
  
  
  Charges outside working hours 
  In most locations flights may be met and cars supplied outside normal working hours. However, there may be an additional charge for this service payable locally. This will be quoted when your flight times are given to us. In the event that a flight is delayed, causing the car pick-up to fall outside normal working hours, the additional charge will be made locally, where the outside working hours service is available. 
  We can accept no further responsibility where there is no outside working hours facility available and it is therefore recommended that customers should purchase independent travel insurance. 
  
  
  Driving licence 
  Drivers must produce a full driving licence held for at least one year (or in some cases an international driving licence). Drivers with a new style licence must have all sections with them. 
  In certain locations and for some car types, drivers must have held a full licence for a minimum of 2 years. 
  It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that he/she has the appropriate driving licence. 
  Our reservations agent must be informed of any endorsements on the driver’s licence, as we may not be able to take your booking. 
  No refunds will be given for rentals rejected due to the failure to produce a valid driving licence or due to non-disclosed endorsements. 
  Faxed or photocopied licences are not acceptable. 
  
  
  Rental documents 
  The rental voucher must be presented when picking up your rental car. We cannot be held responsible for rentals rejected if a voucher is not presented. 
  You should retain your rental documents and related receipts for a minimum of 28 days after returning home. 
  
  
  Additional drivers 
  Charges often apply for additional drivers and are payable locally on pick-up. We cannot be held responsible for any increase in charges. Please check online or with our reservations department at the time of booking. 
  
  
  Deposits 
  Deposits vary from destination to destination. 
  All customers will be required to leave a deposit to cover collision damage waiver excess, theft waiver excess (where applicable) and fuel. To do so, a valid credit card in the name of the main driver, must be produced upon collection of the car, as a form of deposit. 
  Cash deposits are rarely accepted. 
  Where a deposit for fuel is payable, it will usually be refunded if the car is returned with a full tank. If the tank is not returned full, our local car rental partner will charge for fuel at its current rate. They may also levy a refuelling charge. Please check the fuel policy when you pick up your car. 
  Deposits to cover potential damage are required in some countries. A major credit card can be used for this purpose.
  
  
  Provision of cars 
  Our local car rental partner may refuse to provide a car to any customer who is, in their opinion, unfit to drive or does not meet with the eligibility requirements. In such circumstances your contract with us will terminate immediately, and we shall no longer be liable to you and no refund shall be due. 
  
  
  Number of passengers 
  Our rental cars are insured for a maximum number of passengers. We cannot accept responsibility should the vehicle not be large enough to accommodate all the passengers and luggage on arrival if details were not supplied at the time of booking. In the interests of safety this number must not be exceeded and to do so will render the insurance null and void.
  
  
  Driving restrictions 
  Restrictions are applicable when crossing country and state borders. Please consult our reservations department at the time of booking as to whether border crossing is permitted and what, if any, charges apply. 
  
  
  Collision Damage and Theft Waiver Exclusions and Damage Excess Waiver Product 
  Under most circumstances when you hire a car from us (see exclusions below) we can waive your liability to pay for any damage over and above a stipulated sum (referred to as the “excess”) caused to the vehicle during the period of hire. This waiver is subject only to the payment of a charge on your part, (unless you are informed that this is not applicable at the time of booking), whereby your liability for any damage will be limited to the cost of the ‘excess’. We call this contractual waiver “Collision Damage Waiver” or “CDW”. CDW is subject to certain exclusions which include, without exceptions, when damage is caused to windows/windscreens, wheels and tyres, the underside of the car roof, and also in cases when the vehicle is driven off-road or on un-tarmacked roads, or without due care and attention, negligently, or where the driver is under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Your liability to pay for any damage will therefore not be waived in any of these circumstances and you may be liable for the full cost. 
  If you would like us to waive your liability to pay the ‘excess’ referred to above, you can purchase our damage excess waiver product (DEW). However, please note that even on purchasing this product you will still be required to compensate the car rental partner for any damage which falls into any of the exclusion categories indicated above. 
  The Theft Waiver (also known as Theft Protection) provides coverage for theft or attempted theft of the vehicle up to the full value of the vehicle and any loss that our car rental partner may incur. You are responsible for the ‘excess’ of each claim, which you will be required to pay as part of the overall ‘excess deposit’ (unless you are advised that this is not applicable at the time of booking). Your loss will be limited provided the vehicle is used and its keys returned in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. 
  Damage excess waiver product (DEW)
  On all bookings you will be required to leave a deposit to the value of any CDW ‘excess’ you may be required to pay if the vehicle is damaged during the period of hire (see the paragraphs dealing with CDW above). If the vehicle is damaged, the deposit will be retained and treated as payment of the ‘excess’. If, however, you have purchased our DEW product, your liability to pay the ‘excess’ will be waived and you may reclaim it, subject to our terms and conditions, by filling in an accident report form (supplied by our car rental partner) and sending a copy of it to us. Your liability to pay for damage to the vehicle will therefore be limited to the cost of the daily rate you pay for CDW and DEW. 
  DEW is not available in relation to prestige cars. 
  DEW (and CDW) do not apply in relation to damage to windows/windscreens, wheels and tyres, the underside and the roof, the interior of the car, towing charges, or cases where the vehicle is driven off-road or on un-tarmacked roads, or without due care and attention, negligently, or where the driver is under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Your liability to pay the cost of the damage will therefore not be waived in these circumstances and you may be liable for the full cost. 
  In the event that keys are lost or damaged, you will be liable for the reasonable costs of obtaining a replacement, and further costs if directly related to the theft of the car. 
  DEW does not apply when taking four-wheel drive vehicles "off road" or on un-tarmacked roads. Your liability to pay the CDW ‘excess’ will therefore not be waived in these circumstances and you may be liable for the full ‘excess’.
  
  

  Tax 
  All taxes are included except those on any extras purchased locally. e.g. one-way drop-off fees, child seats and additional drivers. 
  We reserve the right to levy any government increases in local taxes that may be introduced after the printing of these terms and conditions. 
  Any additional charges payable on arrival are subject to local taxes at the prevailing rate in that country. 
  
  
  Car type/Suitability
