The Agency reserves the right to change the published prices. Should price changes occur prior to the advanced payment being made, the Agency is required to inform the End User about these changes. The End User who made an advance payment for a certain reservation is guaranteed by the Agency the price listed in the Offer based on which the advanced payment was made. In the event that, after the advanced payment has been made, the service provider changes the price, there are changes in the exchange rates, VAT or similar changes, resulting in the increase of the reservation price of 15% or more, the Agency reserves the right to change the reservation price and to charge the price difference from the End User upon consulting him/her. If the Agency or the service provider reduce the price after the End User has made the advanced payment, the End User is not entitled to a new, lower price.

In case of inability to insure substitute accommodation, the Agency reserves the right to cancel the reservation and the End User may request a money refund for the days he/she did not use the accommodation unit.
The responsibility of the Agency towards the End User is limited to the amount of the reservation price and he/she is not entitled to any additional compensation.
Service prices do not include travel insurance. Should the End User request travel insurance, arrangements can be made directly with the insurance company or with the Agency, wherein the Agency acts only as a mediator. The End User is recommended to read the insurance terms and conditions carefully before purchase.
Service prices do not include cancellation insurance. Should the End User suspect that due to certain reasons he might have to cancel the reservation, or wants to insure against cases caused by force majeure, he/she is advised to purchase cancellation insurance. Cancellation insurance cannot be paid for after the reservation has been made, only during the booking process. In case the End User does not have cancellation insurance and is unable to use the services, the Agency reserves the right to refund the End User according to the Cancellation Terms listed in these General Terms and Conditions. In the event of a reservation cancellation, visa application costs and other travel document costs are non-refundable even if the End User has cancellation insurance. If the End User has a cancellation insurance policy, he/she must file all claims with the insurance company which issued the policy, while the Agency is required to provide all necessary documentation related to the claim and the reservation in question. All other insurance terms and conditions are enclosed with the insurance policy and the End User is recommended to read them carefully before purchase.
In the event of unsatisfactory services, immediately upon his/her arrival, the End User is obliged to file a complaint to the service provider's authorized representative and to inform the Agency's office by e-mail at info@adriasoul.com or phone at +385 (0)91 26 38 002 . The End User is obliged to cooperate with the service provider and the Agency in good faith in order to resolve the cause of the complaint. Should the End User accept the proposed solution which corresponds with the service rendered on the spot, neither the Agency nor the service provider are obliged to accept any additional complaints or can be subjected to claim. If the End User chooses not to accept the provided solution, compatible with the paid service, to his/her problem, the Agency shall not be obliged to accept any further complaints. In case the End User leaves on his own initiative, without giving the service provider and the Agency a chance to remedy difficulties which caused the object of complaint, the End User loses the right to request a refund or make a claim for compensation, regardless of the fact that his/her reasons were justified or not.
If the problem has not been resolved after the intervention, the End User is obliged to send a written complaint with all the documents and photographs which verify the basis for the complaint by e-mail at info@adriasoul.com or mail at SOUL TRAVEL d.o.o., Dubrovačka 10, 21000 Split, Croatia, no later then 20 days following the last day of the reservation. The Agency shall take into consideration only properly filed complaints which are received within the 20-day deadline. The Agency is obliged to make a written solution to the complaint within 14 days of receipt of the written complaint. The Agency can postpone the deadline in order to collect evidence and check the claim quotes with the service provider but not for more than 14 days. The Agency will take into consideration only those claims whose cause could not be resolved on the spot.
While the procedure of resolving the complaint is under way, meaning 14 i.e. 28 days after the complaint has been filed, the End User irrevocably relinquishes the right of mediation or arbitration by a third party or institution, as well as publicly disclosing information. During this period, the End User also waives the right to file a suit. The maximum amount of compensation can reach the price of the inadequate part of service but can not include services already provided or the total amount of the reservation. This also excludes the End User's right to indemnification for ideal damages. The Agency can not be held responsible for weather conditions, temperature or cleanliness of the sea, crowd at the destination, loss or theft of property nor any other similar situations and events which may cause the End User's discontent but are not directly related to the quality of the booked service.
If the End User decides to make a „last minute“ reservation, he/she accepts all the risks of such an agreement. These offers consist of uncertainty of facts upon which the Agency can not influence. The End User accepts such an agreement primarily because of its favorable price and therefore has no right to complain to the Agency and/or the service provider.
The End User provides personal information voluntarily. Personal information is necessary for the process of finding requested services and shall be used for internal communication between the Agency and the End User. The Agency agrees not to distribute the End User's personal information outside of the county's borders nor to third parties if it is not necessary for the purpose of providing requested services. The End User's personal information may be disclosed if the Agency or a third party, processing the End User's information for the purpose of providing requested services, are compelled to do so by law or receive a valid, legally compliant request by a law enforcement or governmental authority. The End User’s information shall be kept in a database in accordance with the decision of the Management. By accepting these General terms and Conditions, the End User gives permission for his/her personal information to be used for the purpose of the Agency's marketing actions.
The End User and the Agency shall endeavour to resolve all the disputes that may arise in connection with these General Terms and Conditions in mutual agreement. In case a mutual agreement can not be reached, the parties stipulate the jurisdiction of the authorised court in Split. The competent laws shall be the laws of the Republic of Croatia.
This issue of General Terms and Conditions excludes all previously issued General Terms and Conditions.
