6.1. Accommodation
The packages offered by Hen Party Italy on its Internet Site include one, two or more nights in accommodation at the chosen destination. The Organizer does not choose the type of accommodation directly by clicking on the appropriate window on the Hen Party Italy website, during the booking process. The choice of the hotel will be made by the company NDL Srl based on availability, prices and area of the group’s Destination. The name of the hotel will be communicated at the latest upon delivery of the travel documents that will take place the week before departure.
About the Hotels: The indication on the level of comfort (stars) that appears in the description of the accommodation on the website, corresponds to the local standards of the destination and may differ from non-Italian standards. Occasionally, in case of force majeure or in cases not attributable to NDL Srl, the chosen hotel may be replaced by a different one, but meeting the same standards and offering the same options. Normally the rooms are available from 2pm and must be left by 11am, whatever your arrival and departure time.

The cancellation of an activity or Option due to force majeure does not entitle the Customer to compensation or to the repayment of the amount paid. The photographs and illustrations used on the Website in the descriptive sections are for illustrative purposes only. NDL Srl reserves the right to use photos, which in some cases may not represent the real location.
Article 7 – Special Services

Article 8 – Price
Each Stay offered on the Website is accompanied by a detailed description of the Destination and the services included in the price. An additional cost will be applied for options whose price shown on the site is calculated based on the number of Participants. It is up to the User to choose the package. Hen Party Italy is only the means of confirming the request. Considering all the possible changes and combinations of services and options in the purchase of a Stay with Hen Party Italy, in order to respond to the needs of the User-Organizer, the final price may differ from that estimated on the Website. Prices are in Euro and taxes are included in the price. Otherwise it will be specifically indicated on the Website. The services provided are exclusively those contained in the package agreed with the User-Organizer and more precisely in the words “the price includes”. Prices may change at any time and without notice.
The changes will have no effect on bookings already confirmed, except if the price change occurs more than 30 days before departure and is due to a tax increase. In the event of a price increase for the aforementioned reasons, the Customer will pay the proportion of the price increase applicable to his stay but this will have no effect on the Customer’s right to withdraw from the contract and in any case exempt from any responsibility for the company NDL Srl.

A booking confirmation will be sent by Hen Party Italy, upon reception of the sum due, containing a detailed summary of the options and services purchased, and the price paid.
Article 10 – Custom packages and personalized quotes
A personalized quote will be made only upon explicit request by the Organizer, considering the fact that the packages provided on the website are pre-established and predetermined and that any changes will intervene only after an explicit request of a custom package.
In response to such request, the Organizer will receive an e-mail directly from Hen Party Italy, confirming Hen Party Italy has taken in charge the order. No later than 48 hours from the moment the Organizer has made the request, Hen Party Italy will send an official email confirming the availability of the chosen package or activities, or an alternative proposal in case the package or some services contained in it are not available on the date requested by the Organizer. Within this email confirming the availability, Hen Party Italy will send a payment request.
Once communicated, the total price per customer remains stationary, except in cases of force majeure. The Organizer must confirm the number of participants at the time of submitting the request. Once the quotation is accepted for the Options requested, the Organizer must notify Hen Party Italy of the full names and complete and correct e-mail addresses of the participants, necessary for booking the stay.
The Organizer assumes the responsibility of ensuring that the personal information of the Participants provided matches those appearing on the Passports or the identity cards of the Participants and that the same documents are valid for the destination country.

c) Unless otherwise indicated during the booking, all cancellations requested from the Customer up to 30 days before the scheduled event date, excluded in cases of force majeure or unless the Supplier agrees more favorable conditions, will give rise to a reimbursement of 90% of the sum already paid.
To cancellations happening between 29 and 15 days prior to the scheduled event date, a 50% penalty fee will apply (hence the cancellation will give rise to a refund of 50% of the cost of the Services). If cancellation occurs in the period between 14 days prior to the scheduled event date, and the event date a penalty fee of 100% will apply, hence Hen Party Italy provides no reimbursement of the amount paid.
d) In the event that Hen Party Italy has paid the Supplier, to comply with its obligation arising from the reservation, Hen Party Italy will be exempt from any refund of the participation fee, in cases dependent on third parties or force majeure if the Organizer or the Participants have not protected their package by signing an appropriate insurance policy.
e) When the trip is canceled before departure for any reason, except for the fault of the User, the latter has the right to take advantage of either another package of equivalent or higher quality without a surcharge, or a lower quality package, upon return of the difference in price, or alternatively the User is reimbursed, within seven working days from the moment of cancellation, the sum of money already paid.
f) In the cases provided for in paragraph d), the User has the right to be compensated for any further damage due to the non-execution of the contract.
g) In case of changes requested by the User – Organizer (change of dates, destination, accommodation), a new quote will be sent to the User-Organizer, and the balance resulting from the new quote will be due within 24 hours from its reception. Failure to fully pay the balance by the Client-Organizer and by all participants will result in the suspension of the Services and any payment of any costs depending on the event, without any responsibility for the company NDL srl.
h) In the event that one or more participants decide to cancel their participation in the provided Services, after the booking has been confirmed, each individual participant who performs the cancellation will be entitled to reimbursement of his quota (ie the total divided by the number of participants), according to the deadlines provided for in paragraph b of this article.
In case one or more people wish to join the group, after the booking has been confirmed, each of them will be asked to pay 100% of the per capita fee.
