Services not used.
If you do not use the services described in the itinerary for reasons beyond Bella Aventura’s control, you will not be entitled to a proportional refund. However, Bella Aventura may reimburse the client for any refunds from service providers.
Termination of the contract due to extraordinary circumstances
If the trip is hindered, endangered, or significantly impaired as a result of a force majeure event not foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract (e.g., natural disasters, political unrest, epidemics, crisis), Bella Aventura may cancel the contract, in order not to put the integrity of the participants or our partners and collaborators at risk. In this case, Bella Aventura will refund the trip’s price minus a proportional compensation for the services already rendered or possibly still to be rendered by the termination of the journey. The total amount of the refund will be established by the management of Bella Aventura Costa Rica S.A. This is based on the negotiations with the suppliers linked to the provision of the services contracted by the client.
Guarantee / Obligation to cooperate.
If a travel service is not provided as described in the contract, the customer can demand to reschedule the service or a refund within a reasonable period. Bella Aventura may remedy the situation in such a way that a substitute service of equal or higher value is provided, as long as this is reasonable for the customer and the travel defect has not been caused deliberately against good faith or the remedy does not represent an unacceptable modification of the contract. Bella Aventura can refuse to remedy the defect if the treatment requires a disproportionate expense.
If the contract has not provided the travel services, you must assert your claims against Bella Aventura within one month after the contractual completion of the trip. If a trip is considerably impaired by the situation of Bella Aventura and a remedy is not provided within a reasonable period, you may, within the framework of the statutory provisions, withdraw from the travel contract, provided that the possibilities to remedy the disadvantages or to provide a reasonable resolution for the parties involved have been exhausted beforehand. You are obliged to cooperate in the event of service interruptions within the framework of the statutory provisions to avoid or minimize possible damages: Therefore, any deficiencies in the travel services or the lack of guaranteed features must be reported immediately to the service provider or our partners to proceed with a prompt and timely remedy.
