nb!If a package event, a hotel reservation or a flight ticket is subject to strict cancellation terms, such terms will apply and will be advised upon reservation.

cancellatIon due to sudden IllnessWe recommend that you take out a sickness/cancellation insurance from your travel agency to cover the cancellation costs if it proves impossible or extremelydifficult to participate in tours due to death or sudden illness/accidents requiring admission to hospital, periods in bed prescribed by a doctor or similar problemsinvolving you or your spouse/partner, parents, parents in- law, children, grand-children, siblings, grandparents, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law or travelling companions. This protection only applies if a medical report is presented no later than one week after the cancellation. The insurance premium is 5 per cent of the risk (minimum DKK 75 / euro 11) and must be paid together with the deposit. If you fail to submit a medical report or your cancellation is due to other reasons, the standard cancellation rules apply.

travel InsuranceIn general the traveller is responsible for covering the costs of illness, admission to hospital etc. during a tour – unless the operator can be held responsible. Consequently, we strongly advise you to take out travel insurance covering the costs of accidents or death, treatment of illnesses, transport home and loss/damage of luggage, etc.

lIabIlIty of the aIrlInesThe airlines involved accept no liability for incidents occurring when passengers are not on board the plane of the airline concerned. For liability regarding checked-in luggage, please see the terms and conditions of the airline concerned.

lIabIlIty of the clIentsThe client must carry a valid passport. The client is liable for giving the correct information and his/her name in full according to his/her passport information and to other travel document information. A charge of DKK 550 / euro 75 must be paid if the name needs to be changed after booking. upon receipt of tickets and travel documents, clients should check that the first and last names on the ticket, passport and other travel documents are correct and identical. The name on the flight ticket must be the same as the name on the passport, or clients may be turned away at the check-in desk. The travel agency is not liable for any consequences arising owing to the submission of incorrect information by clients.

comPlaIntsAny complaints during the tour must be made to Atlantic Airways or GreenGate Incoming immediately, so thaterrors/defects can be rectified immediately and with the least possible inconvenience to clients. If you wish to make a subse-quent complaint or claim, you should obtain documented evidence and contact GreenGate Incoming as soon as possible and at the latest, 2 weeks after arriving home.

dIscount flIght tIcketsIf you wish to benefit from the many types of cheap tickets available on the market, combining these tickets for various sections of the tour, such tickets must always be issued in separate documents. In many cases such tickets cannot be cancelled, changed and/or refunded. This means that you bear the risk if you are unable to catch your next flight/connection, e.g. due to delays. neither the travel agency nor the airlines involved accept any liability for the cost of new tickets, accommodation etc. occuring in this event.

deParture tImes In the travel tImetable & tIcketsThe times stated in the tickets and travel timetable are always local times. After the fl ight tickets and the travel timetable have been issued, time changes may occur (often on 1 April and 1 november when the airlines change their times of departure and arrival and when passing to/from summer time). Therefore you should always check the departure times stated in the travel documents that you have received. Please contact the travel agency immediately if the times differ from the original booking/confi rmation, so any mistakes can be rectified before departure.

check-In tImeWe recommend that you check the check-in times when you arrive at the airport of your departure. Information from GreenGate Incoming or the airlines about departure gates and terminals is only intended as a guide and is not binding. Situations may occur where it may be necessary to change the departure from one gate/terminal to another. you should therefore always check the gate/ terminal, especially when changing planes with little time to spare.

taxes and dutIesA number of taxes have to be stated on the actual flight ticket. However, some airport or other tourist taxes have to be paid in cash upon departure or at the destination, so these cannot be claimed before leaving home. usually such taxes will be stated in your travel documents. However, countries may introduce new taxes or increase existing ones at little or no notice. Taxes may change between the date of booking and the date of departure, or between the date of departure and the date of your return journey.

PassPort, vIsa, vaccInatIons, etc.nordic citizens need to bring their passport but they do not need a visa or special vaccinations when travelling to the Faroe Islands. If visa/vaccinations are required, this will be stated in our offer or in our confirmation. For practical rea-sons, citizens of non-nordic countries should seek information on the demands made on citizens of their specific country when travelling to the Faroe Islands.Moreover when you book you must inform us if your group includes members with citizenships other than your own. This will enable us to give you the appropriate advice. The operator is not liable for any consequences that the absence of travel documents etc. may have if you fail to inform the travel agency of such issues. Please note that transit visas are often required. Passports fromcountries outside the eu must normally be valid for at least six months after arrival at the destination.

transferrIng toursOwing to sub-supplier regulations, tours cannot be transferred to others.

faIlure to aPPear/unused servIces etc.If the customer has not cancelled the tour and/or if the traveller does not turn up at the indicated time and place of the tour, the operator is entitled to charge thefull price of the tour. If the traveller fails to turn up for tours or in any other way fails to make use of the services which have been ordered, compensation for such unused services cannot be claimed.

lIabIlIty of the technIcal oPeratorunder the Danish ‘Pakkerejselov’ (Package Holidays Act) GreenGate Incoming / Atlantic Airways is responsible for carrying out tours in accordance with the programme/ price list. The operator accepts no responsibility for agreements/promises between travel agencies and the traveller without the knowledge and acceptance of the operator. The operator accepts no liability for changes, delays etc. owing to breach of contract, unofficial strikes, weather conditions or any circumstances beyond the control of the operator.

changes/cancellatIonsThe technical operator reserves the right to make any necessary changes caused by a shortage of clients. If clients then wish to withdraw from the tour, the amount paid will be refunded but no further claims can be made. The techni-cal operator is entitled to cancel any planned tours at 20 days’ notice. If it proves impossible to find a satisfactory replacement tour, the amount which has beenpaid will be refunded. The travellers are not entitled to make any further claims for compensation beyond this.

PrIce changes after the agreement Is madeThe prices are based on the current duties, tariffs and currencies applicable in August 2010. GreenGate Incoming / Atlantic Airways reserves the right to make price changes after the agreement is made.
