#### Bookings Payment Policy
1. All group bookings must be pre-paid prior to departure. Any verbal quotes provided are estimates and subject to written confirmation upon reservation.
2. Please note that no credit or refunds will be issued for unused services included in your holiday cost. Alterations to travel plans during your trip are your responsibility, and Safanta Tours & Travel Company Limited is not liable for any additional expenses or complications that may arise.
3. In the event of a delay, your airline is responsible for arranging meals and overnight accommodations. Should you experience flight delays that require additional transfers to join your group, those costs will be your responsibility and can potentially be reclaimed through your insurance.
4. Our prices are based on current exchange rates and on-the-ground pricing. Prices may change at any time before Safanta Tours & Travel Company Limited has accepted your booking. If the price variation exceeds 10% of the total holiday cost, you will be entitled to a full refund of all payments made.
5. Holidays are organized months in advance, and while we strive to maintain all arrangements, we reserve the right to make necessary changes at any time.
6. Compensation for changes does not apply to situations arising from war, riots, strikes, terrorism, natural disasters, and other events outside our control. In such cases, Safanta Tours & Travel Company Limited will offer either a comparable holiday, if available, or a full refund of payments made.
7. Bookings for individuals under eighteen years of age can only be accepted when accompanied by an adult responsible for them.
8. Cancellations made within 24 hours, as well as "no shows" or changes of mind on the day of travel, will incur full payment charges as per the confirmation of your reservation.
#### Agents Without Credit
Invoices must be requested at the time of booking. Agents or group organizers are required to provide final client numbers 30 days before arrival. Safanta Tours & Travel Company Limited will issue invoices based on final numbers, which must be settled before arrival.

Safanta Tours & Travel Company Limited is not liable for lost accommodations or activity bookings due to delayed payments.
