The shipping costs (cargo fees) for the product, which are the cost of sending the product, shall be paid by the buyers. Each product purchased shall be delivered to the person and/or organization at the address specified by the buyer within a legal period not exceeding 30 days. If the product is not delivered within this period, the buyers may terminate the contract. The purchased product must be delivered completely and in conformity with the specifications stated in the order, together with any guarantee certificate, user manual, and such documents, if available.

IF THE PRICE OF THE PURCHASED PRODUCT IS NOT PAID:

If the buyer does not pay the price of the purchased product, or if it is canceled in the bank records, the seller’s obligation to deliver the product ends.

PURCHASES MADE WITH UNAUTHORIZED USE OF A CREDIT CARD:

After the product is delivered, if it is determined that the credit card used for payment by the buyer was wrongfully used by unauthorized persons, and the price of the sold product is not paid by the relevant bank or financial institution to the seller, then the buyer must return the product, which is the subject of the contract, to the seller within 3 days, with the shipping cost to be borne by the seller.

IF THE PRODUCT CANNOT BE DELIVERED ON TIME FOR UNFORESEEN REASONS:

If force majeure circumstances that the seller could not foresee occur and the product cannot be delivered on time, the buyer will be informed. The buyer may request cancellation of the order, replacement of the product with a similar one, or postponement of the delivery until the obstacle is removed. If the buyer cancels the order and paid in cash, the money will be returned to the buyer in cash within 14 days from the date of cancellation. If the buyer paid by credit card and cancels, again within 14 days from cancellation, the price of the product is returned to the bank, but it is possible that the bank may transfer it to the buyer’s account within 2–3 weeks.

Before taking delivery of the goods/services that are the subject of the contract, the buyer shall inspect them; the buyer shall not accept damaged and defective goods/services from the shipping company, such as those that are crushed, broken, or have torn packaging.

In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, a written notification must be sent to the SELLER within 14 (fourteen) days by registered mail with return receipt, fax, or email, and it is required that the product must not have been used in accordance with the provisions of “Products for Which the Right of Withdrawal Cannot Be Exercised” in this contract.

RETURN CONDITIONS:

The SELLER is obliged to refund the total amount and the documents putting the BUYER under debt to the BUYER within 10 days from the date the SELLER receives the withdrawal notification, and to accept the return of the goods within 20 days. If there is a decrease in the value of the goods or if it becomes impossible to return them due to any fault of the BUYER, the BUYER is obliged to compensate the SELLER’s damages in proportion to the BUYER’s fault. However, the BUYER is not responsible for changes or deterioration that occur due to the proper use of the goods or product within the period of the right of withdrawal. If, due to exercising the right of withdrawal, the total amount drops below the campaign limit set by the SELLER, the amount of the discount benefited under the campaign will be canceled.

DISTANCE SALES CONTRACT AND PRIVACY POLICY

1– PARTIES TO THE CONTRACT

A service contract has been signed between Zaren Tour (hereinafter referred to as the AGENCY or ACENTE) and the person who approves this contract and receives the service (hereinafter referred to as the CONSUMER).

2– SUBJECT OF THE CONTRACT

The subject of this contract covers the rights and obligations of the parties, pursuant to the provisions of Law No. 6502 on the Protection of Consumers and the Regulation on the Application Procedures and Principles of Distance Contracts (Official Gazette: 27.11.2014/29188), concerning the sale and performance of reservation services for travel operations such as hotels, flight tickets, car rentals, tours, etc., which the Agency sells to the Consumer.

3– GENERAL PROVISIONS

The Consumer acknowledges and declares, under the provisions of this contract, that he/she has been informed in a clear, understandable manner, and appropriate for an internet environment, by the Agency about the Agency’s name, title, full address, telephone, and other contact information; the basic qualifications of the service offered for sale; the sales price including taxes; the form of payment; etc.; and all preliminary information regarding the service offered for sale and the right of withdrawal, how to exercise this right, the official authorities to which complaints and objections can be communicated, etc., and that he/she has confirmed these preliminary details electronically and/or by phone or email and subsequently approved the reservation and the contract in accordance with the provisions of this contract.

The Consumer agrees to receive emails and SMS notifications from the Agency regarding the information, documents, and subsequent processes related to the reservation made online.

Consumers who participate in the service without signing the contract shall be deemed to have accepted and undertaken the terms of the contract with the approval of this contract by the Consumer whom they have authorized on their behalf. The Agency reserves the right of recourse to other Consumers.

If the service subject to the contract is used by someone other than the Consumer, the Agency is not responsible if that person does not accept the service.

After the performance of the service, if the relevant bank or financial institution does not pay the service fee to the Agency due to the unauthorized or unlawful use of the Consumer’s credit card by unauthorized persons, the Consumer shall be liable for the resulting damages.

If, after the performance of the product/service subject to the contract, for any reason—including claims of unfair and unlawful use of the credit card used by the Consumer, without the Agency’s fault—the bank or financial institution does not pay the service fee to the Agency, the Consumer shall be liable for the service fee and all kinds of damages, together with the statutory interest accruing from the reservation date.

4– MUTUAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

If the Consumer refuses performance on the grounds that the purchased service is defective, he/she must immediately notify the Agency and the accommodation facility in writing. Otherwise, the Consumer is deemed to have accepted the performance and to have used the service. If the accommodation facility is not prepared in the specified qualifications or is not in a position to provide the service, the responsibility lies with the accommodation facility, and the Agency has no responsibility. In this case, the Agency has the right to accommodate the consumer in its facility of the same standard or of a higher category. If the Consumer does not accept such a change, the Consumer has the right to recover the amount paid for the reservation and cannot claim any form of compensation from the Agency.

If force majeure prevents the execution of the contract, the party who experiences it shall inform the other party immediately and in writing. In the event of force majeure, if the Consumer submits a cancellation request, the Agency is obliged to refund to the Consumer the amount it can recover from the persons or organizations from whom it purchased or intermediated the service. The Agency cannot be held responsible for the amounts it could not recover.

If the Consumer departs early, alleging that the service is defective (including force majeure), the Consumer must provide the reasons in writing to the Agency’s representative and the hotel at the time of the service, and the refund is at the discretion of the cooperating hotel/firm/provider. The Consumer cannot raise any objection to the Agency in this regard. The applicable penalty fee is invoiced to the Consumer.

Depending on the travel product purchased, the Consumer must first inform the hotel or the airline, i.e., the actual counterpart, of any dissatisfaction related to the airline, the hotel, or the providers. Subsequently, in any litigation or complaint the Consumer files, the hotel must be indicated as the opposing party. No material or moral compensation can be claimed from the Agency in this regard.

In the event of a price increase during early booking periods or any periods (apart from system-based errors), the difference is not requested from the customer; likewise, if the hotel implements a discount referred to as an “action,” no refund is made in that respect.

The responsibility for luggage and its contents belongs entirely to its owner, and the Agency assumes no responsibility for loss, theft, or damage. The Consumer is obliged to comply with the laws and customs to which the vehicle in which they will travel and the facility in which they will stay are subject.

For Consumers who have purchased travel insurance services, the coverage for incomplete or defective performance, damages, losses, etc. is determined by the policy of the insurance company providing this service. The Agency bears no responsibility regarding the content, extent, or method of application of these coverages.

5– CANCELLATION, WITHDRAWAL, AND CHANGES

Despite having exercised all due care, the Agency may cancel the contract if force majeure or circumstances arising from the service providers, hotels, airlines, tour organizing companies, or third parties prevent the commencement or continuation of the service. This situation must be communicated to the Consumer as soon as possible. The Consumer has no right to compensation in such a situation. The Agency may refund the Consumer for any unused services, entirely at the Agency’s discretion.

The conditions for cancellation and refund of the service purchased by the Consumer are also determined by the conditions obtained from the providers. Each provider’s cancellation and refund conditions may differ, and these conditions are clearly specified in our travel portal system prior to the purchase of the relevant product/service. By purchasing this service, the Consumer is deemed to have accepted these conditions. If the Consumer fails to notify in writing within 24 hours that he/she missed the beginning of the service but will accept performance later, the Agency has the right to cancel all reservations made on behalf of the Consumer after 24 hours. In such cancellations, no fee is refunded to the Consumer.

When it deems necessary, the Agency may partially or completely cancel the services it has announced or recorded, up to 7 days before their commencement. If the Consumer does not accept such changes or cancellations, he/she may cancel the reservation and has the right to receive a full refund of the amount paid within 10 days.

If the Consumer cancels the contract before the start of the service, the refund of the service fee is determined by which company, hotel, airline, or provider supplied the service he/she purchased, as well as their cancellation and refund conditions. Any refund amounts due will be paid accordingly. Date changes requested by the Consumer shall be treated as cancellations, and the prices on the date of the change apply to the service.

If it becomes impossible for the Consumer to continue with the service purchased, the Consumer may, at least 7 days before the departure date, notify the Agency in writing and transfer the reservation to a third party, subject to meeting all applicable conditions for the tour, hotel, etc.; such transfer is carried out in accordance with the conditions of whichever provider supplied the product/service. In particular, for airlines and flight tickets, there can be no assignment or name change—no transfer is possible. If the transfer is allowed, in the case of hotels, tours, etc., both the transferrer and the transferee are jointly liable to the Agency for the service fee and any additional expenses arising from the transfer.

If the Consumer or the Consumer’s first-degree relatives document, with an official report from a fully equipped state hospital, an illness or death that prevents them from engaging in their usual activities for 10 days, the reservation can be canceled without deduction. This is processed again in proportion to the rules of the relevant provider. If the situation is not documented with a report or if the documentation is incomplete, the Consumer cannot make any claim.

6– RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

Under Article 15 of the Regulation on Distance Contracts, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for the products/services covered by this contract. However, the valid cancellation conditions for canceling the reservation are stated above.

7– CONFIDENTIALITY

Information provided by the Consumer under this contract or for the purpose of making a payment shall not be shared with third parties by the Agency unless there is an administrative/legal obligation. Credit card information is only used securely during the collection process with the relevant banks for obtaining authorization, and it is never stored. All information regarding the credit card is deleted from the system after authorization.

8– MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

In matters not written in this contract, the provisions of Law No. 1618, Law No. 6502 (the Consumer Protection Law), the IATA, IHA, UFTAA Conventions, the Code of Obligations, the Turkish Commercial Code, the international agreements to which Turkey is a party, and the Regulations, Directives, Circulars, and Notifications issued in connection with them, shall apply.

For disputes arising from the implementation of this contract, applications may be made to the authorized Consumer Arbitration Committees or Consumer Courts. Even if, for any reason, the Consumers who have purchased this reservation contract by mail order, virtual POS, bank transfer, or EFT have not been able to sign it, they have learned of the conditions of this contract through catalogs, the website, or announcements and have agreed and undertaken to receive this reservation contract under the terms written in this contract.
