GENERAL TERM & CONDITIONS OF SALES

a) Generalities

Upon booking one of our trips, you are contractually bound to Greentours

Terms "we" and "us" refer to Greentours and terms "you" and "the customer" refer to customers purchasing Greentours services. 

The following terms and conditions form the basis of the contract.

b) Pricing

All prices mentioned in estimates sent to customers are in United States Dollars (USD). Euros are accepted with an exchange rate determined by the Vietnam Foreign Trade Bank (Vietcombank) as of the date of payment.

Greentours guarantees the prices mentioned in estimates, invoices or documents given to the customer. On payment of the deposit or full cost, we guarantee the final cost of your trip (excluding any changes made on your part). In some cases, we reserve the right to adjust our prices due to force majeure and travel conditions. These cases of force majeure may be:

an unpredictable and significant increase in our local service providers’ pricing (hotels, trains, planes, junks, boats, vehicles, and etc ...)
a significant currency fluctuation with a considerable impact on the exchange rate
the institution of a new tax by the government
The evidence of such force majeure will be provided to the customer. In such cases, even after the payment of the deposit, the customer can refuse these increases and cancel the trip. Also, the deposit will be fully refundable. 

c) Reservation and confirmation

All bookings should be addressed to Greentours by email at: contact@indochinagreentours.com.
Reservations will be confirmed only if a 25% deposit (of the total cost) is paid.
If planned excursions are for less than a week (7 days), a deposit of 50% of the total cost will be required. 
A larger deposit may be required for last-minute bookings or special requests from high-end hotels or airlines.
The balance payment must be made upon arrival, without a reminder from us.
Upon confirmation of booking, an invoice will be sent to the customer by email

Cancellation by Greentours

Greentours reserves the right to cancel trips signed with customers for reasons related to a situation of force majeure: a war or threat of war, riots, natural or nuclear disaster, a port blockade, looting, fires and any terrorist activity, bad weather, epidemic, quarantine, or any similar event. In all cases of cancellation, Greentours will charge the amount of these penalties on the deposit paid by the customer but will refund the remaining amount by bank transfer. The customer will bear all bank charges.

Greentours generally grants a 50% discount on the trip cost for a child aged 2 to 8 and 100% for a baby under 2 years old (except for airline and train tickets). Children must be accompanied by at least two full-rate adults. In terms of accommodation during the trip, children are expected to share a room and bed with their parents. An extra bed is chargeable. 

h) Claims

Any complaint can be specified by fax, simple mail, email, or other means. In case of dispute, both parties shall endeavour to seek an alternative resolution.
