www.uniqueproperty.it , may in no case exceed the limits provided for by the regulations in force.
2 - BOOKINGS
Acceptance of bookings is subject to the availability of places and shall be deemed finalised, resulting in the conclusion of the contract, only at the time of written confirmation by the Organiser, including by electronic means. The Organiser may issue the consumer with a copy of the receipt only if already in possession of the confirmation referred to in the previous paragraph. Any information relating to the booking and not contained in the contractual documents, brochures or other means of communication will be provided by the Provider in good time before the start of the holiday.3 - DOWN PAYMENT AND BALANCE

For bookings made less than 30 days before the start of the stay, the entire balance must be paid. More detailed information on payment methods can be found under 'payment'.4 - CONSUMER WITHDRAWAL
The consumer may withdraw from the contract, without paying anything, only if he or she is informed of a change in an essential element, in which case, if he or she exercises his or her right of withdrawal, he or she has the right, alternatively, to use another holiday package or to be reimbursed the part of the price already paid at the time of withdrawal. The package holiday that the consumer decides to take advantage of must be of an amount not less than that originally envisaged. If the organiser or, on its behalf, the seller are unable to offer a package of an equivalent or higher amount, the consumer is entitled to be reimbursed the difference. If the consumer withdraws from the contract in cases other than those envisaged in the preceding paragraphs of this article, sums not exceeding those indicated below shall be charged by way of withdrawal fees.

100% of the total amount of the stay from 14 days prior to the start of the stay and in the event that the stay already started is interrupted.
5 - SUBSTITUTIONS
The renouncing customer may be replaced by another person provided that:
a) the Organiser is informed in writing within 30 working days before the date fixed for departure, receiving at the same time notification of the particulars of the transferee;
b) there are no reasons relating to passports, visas, health certificates, accommodation chosen, transport services or in any case such as to make it impossible for a person other than the renounced customer to use the package;
c) the person taking over reimburses the Organiser for any expenses incurred in making the replacement to the extent that will be quantified at the time of communication of the transfer.
He/she shall also be jointly and severally liable with the transferee for payment of the balance of the price, as well as the amounts referred to in letter c) of this article.
6 - NON-EXECUTION
The consumer may exercise the rights provided for in Art. 5 above, even in the case where, before departure, the organiser, for any reason other than the consumer's own doing, communicates the impossibility, for reasons beyond his control, of carrying out the services that are the subject of the booking and provided that this is brought to his attention within the time limit prior to the start of the tourist services indicated by the organiser. In this case, as well as in the case of the cancellation referred to in Article 4 above, the Organiser will only be obliged to reimburse the sums received within 10 working days from the time of cancellation or withdrawal, excluding any further disbursement.
7 - PARTICIPANTS' OBLIGATIONS
Participants must be in possession of an individual passport or other valid document. They must also comply with the rule of normal prudence and diligence to all information provided to them by the Organiser, as well as the regulations and administrative or legislative provisions relating to the booking. Participants shall be liable for all damages that the Organiser may suffer as a result of their failure to comply with the aforementioned obligations. The consumer is obliged to provide the Organiser with all documents, information and elements in his or her possession that are useful for the exercise of the latter's rights of subrogation against third parties responsible for the damage and is liable to the Organiser for the prejudice caused to the right of subrogation. The consumer shall also communicate in writing to the organiser, at the time of booking, those details desired that may possibly form the subject of specific agreements on the arrangements for the stay, provided that it is possible to implement them.
8 - CLASSIFICATION OF ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation chosen for the stay, in the absence of official classifications recognised by the competent Italian public authorities to which the relative service refers, is established by the Organiser on the basis of its own criteria for assessing quality standards.
9 - LIABILITY OF THE ORGANISER
The organiser is liable for damages caused to the consumer as a result of the total or partial non-fulfilment of the services contractually due, whether these are carried out by him personally or by third party service providers, unless he proves that the event was caused by the consumer (including initiatives autonomously taken by the latter during the execution of the services booked) or by those unconnected with the provision of the services envisaged in the contract, by unforeseeable circumstances, force majeure, or circumstances that the organiser himself could not, according to professional diligence, reasonably foresee or resolve.
10 - OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE
The organiser is obliged to provide the measures of assistance to the consumer imposed by the criterion of professional diligence exclusively with reference to its obligations under the law or the contract. The Organiser is not liable to the consumer for the seller's failure to fulfil its obligations.
11 - COMPLAINTS AND CLAIMS
The consumer, under penalty of forfeiture, must immediately report in writing, in the form of a complaint, to the Organizer any discrepancies and flaws in the booked holiday, as well as any shortcomings in its organisation or realisation, at the time of their occurrence or, if not immediately recognisable, within 10 days from the date of the planned return to the place of departure. If the complaints are made at the place of execution of the tourist services, the organiser must provide the consumer with the assistance required by Article 10 above in order to seek a prompt and fair solution. Similarly, the organiser must provide the same, even in the case of a complaint made at the end of the services, guaranteeing in all cases a prompt response to the consumer's requests.
12 - CANCELLATION INSURANCE
If not expressly included in the price, before departure it is possible, and indeed advisable, to take out special insurance policies for the cancellation of your stay, for accidents and luggage. In the case of foreign nationals, it is also advisable to take out an assistance contract covering repatriation costs in the event of accidents and illness.
13 - PRIVACY
The consumer declares that he/she has received an information sheet in accordance with Article 13 of Legislative Decree No. 196 of 30 June 2003 (Personal Data Protection Code) and, having taken note of it, consents to the processing of his/her personal data.
14 - PLACE OF JURISDICTION
The Court of Livorno shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from this contract. By mutual agreement, however, it may be agreed that disputes arising from the application, interpretation, execution of the contract shall be referred to the decision of a Board of Arbitrators composed of as many arbitrators as there are parties to the dispute plus one who shall act as President appointed by the arbitrators already designated, or, failing that, by the President of the Court of Livorno. The Board of Arbitration, which shall have its seat in the place where the Organiser's registered office is located, shall decide ritually and according to law, after any attempt at conciliation.
