Flights
In the case of the sale of air tickets, the rules of the Air Transport Contract inexorably govern and, especially the conditions established by each airline in the fare base acquired by the passenger, taking into consideration that it is always quoted on the basis of the lowest rate with restrictions. MATER Sustentable agency is NOT responsible for airline policies. At the time of quote, the site and / or the sales executive will show, display and offer the cheapest rate available at the time of the quote. These rates, in general, do not allow changes or refunds and, at the sole discretion of the airline, could allow changes with penalties and / or rate differences or refunds with penalties that do not depend on the will of this company. As of 2020, by virtue of having created promotional rates called “superflex” or similar, the passenger acknowledges that they acquire said promotional rate with the conditions and limitations established by the carrier or operator or the service provider.
Passengers who during the trip voluntarily desist from using any / one of the contracted services, will not have the right to demand a refund of any sum, or compensation for the services voluntarily abandoned.
These penalties govern without prejudice to those established by the operator and / or service provider in their General Conditions and those that are reported in the case of services with penalties other than those stated. The sums that result from the application of penalties for cancellations in any circumstance or the amounts given as a reservation will not be refundable and will not be compensated or applied to subsequent contracts.
Modifications:
The providers reserve the right, for technical, operational and / or force majeure reasons -even for epidemic or pandemic causes and sanitary and migratory measures of the different countries in which the tourist service is developed- to totally or partially alter the daily ordering and / or services that make up the tour, before or during its execution.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the stipulated hotels may be exchanged for another of the same or higher category within the same urban nucleus at no charge to the passenger. Regarding these variations, as long as they are made for reasons of better comfort, service and / or force majeure, the passenger will not be entitled to any compensation.
Once the trip has begun, the suspension, modification or interruption of services by the passenger for personal reasons of any kind, will not give rise to any claim, refund or refund. The interruption of services for reasons attributable to the passenger carries costs.
In all cases, the travel agency undertakes to provide technical assistance so that the passenger can continue their trip in the best possible conditions according to its scope. The passenger must assume the costs for early return, according to the penalties charged by the airlines.
