In such a case, the Customer is not entitled to a refund.

c) force majeure.

The Organizer shall refund the payment using the same method of payment used by the Customer, unless the Customer expressly agrees to a different method of refund that does not involve any costs for him/her
2. A Customer who has concluded a distance or off-premises contract may withdraw from it within 14 days without giving a reason and without incurring any costs.

3. The customer may withdraw from the contract for participation in a tourist event before the start of the tourist event without incurring a withdrawal fee in the event of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occurring at the destination or its immediate vicinity, which have a significant impact on the implementation of the tourist event or the transport of travelers to the destination.

this respect.
4. The Organizer reserves the right to cancel the tourist event ( or change the terms of the contract with the Customer) no later than 48 hours before the start of the event, if the number of participants is insufficient to organize the tourist event or due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances – in any case, the Organizer must immediately inform the Customer.
In such a situation, the Customer should immediately inform the Organizer whether:
a) he accepts the proposed change to the agreement, or
b) he withdraws from the agreement with immediate refund of all payments made and without the obligation to pay a contractual penalty.
Based on the terms of the Act on Tourist Services (Journal of Laws 1997 No. 133, item 884, as amended), the Client does not retain the right to claim compensation from the Organizer, for failure to fulfill the agreement, if the Organizer cancels the tourist event due to force majeure or insufficient number of participants needed to organize the tourist event.
