TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALES

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALES OF MYCOMM

In accordance with Articles L211-8 and L211-18 of the French Tourism Code, the provisions of Articles R211-5 to R211-13 of the same Code, reproduced below, do not apply to reservation or sale operations relating to transport tickets that do not form part of a package tour.

The brochure, quotation, proposal, or program issued by the organizer constitutes the prior information referred to in Article R211-7 of the Tourism Code. Consequently, unless otherwise stated on the front of this document, the characteristics, special conditions, and prices of the trip, as indicated in the brochure, quotation, or proposal from the organizer, become contractual upon signature of the registration form.

In the absence of a brochure, quotation, program, or proposal, this document constitutes, prior to its signature by the purchaser, the prior information referred to in Article R211-7 of the Tourism Code. It shall become null and void if not signed within 24 hours from the date of issue.

In the event of a contract transfer, the transferor and/or transferee must first pay any fees resulting therefrom.

MYCOMM has taken out an insurance policy with HISCOX covering its Professional Civil Liability.

SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALES OF MYCOMM

PRICES:

For your information, all our programs specify what is included and what is not. In general, airport taxes, vaccination fees, visa fees, beverages, entrance fees to museums or monuments, and stadium tickets are never included in the price, unless expressly stated in writing by us.

Prices include the travel services selected by the client, as described in our brochures, technical sheets, or quotations.

MYCOMM expressly reserves the right to adjust its prices, upward or downward, in the event of significant changes in:

airport or security taxes,
exchange rates, or
transport costs, particularly those related to fuel.

If you are already registered, such a modification may not occur less than 30 days before the scheduled departure and will comply with applicable legal provisions.

Adjustments in flight capacity may lead the airline to cancel, advance, or postpone a trip within 24 hours before or after the originally scheduled date, with 2 days’ notice, without being liable for any resulting expenses.


BOOKING AND PAYMENT:

Booking a trip is made by signing the travel contract or making an online purchase, followed by the mandatory payment of a deposit or full settlement of the total order amount. The deposit required at the time of booking is 50% of the total trip cost per person.

IMPORTANT: If you book less than 7 weeks before departure, you must pay the full price of the trip at the time of booking. The balance must be paid no later than 7 weeks before departure, without reminder from us, preferably by mail. Any booking not paid within the specified time frame will be considered cancelled. All payments must be made by bank or postal cheque payable to MYCOMM.


MODIFICATION OR CANCELLATION:

A cancellation, regardless of the date, does not exempt you from paying the full amount due. Any modification or cancellation must be sent by registered letter to the agency where you registered (the postmark serving as proof).

If you cancel your booking, the insurance premium will not be refunded.

In the event of cancellation by the client:

Up to 45 days before departure: 50% of the total trip price will be retained.
Less than 45 days before departure: 100% of the total trip price will be retained.
No-show at departure: 100% of the total trip price will be retained.
Name change: minimum modification fee of €15.

An insufficient number of participants may constitute valid grounds for cancellation by the agency, provided that the client is informed no later than 21 days before the scheduled departure date.

In such a case, we will offer you alternative solutions at the current rate or a full refund of the amounts paid.


MYCOMM LIABILITY:

Acting as a travel organizer, MYCOMM selects various service providers (carriers, hotels, etc.) for the execution of its programs.

Regarding air transport, the aircraft used offer all necessary comfort and safety guarantees. However, due to the frequent rotations of aircraft and the overriding requirements of safety, certain schedule changes may occasionally occur. Nevertheless, we will make every effort to obtain hotel accommodation for passengers from the carrier.

We cannot be held responsible for schedule or itinerary changes, or airport changes (on departure or return) caused by external events such as strikes, technical incidents, air traffic congestion, or weather conditions. Any delay incurred shall not give rise to any compensation whatsoever, including for changes in the duration of the originally planned program or missed connections. We therefore recommend allowing at least 3 hours between connections.

MYCOMM cannot be held liable in the event of a service provider’s failure during transportation (air, rail, or road), a tour, or a stay, nor in cases where, due to compelling circumstances (political situations, requisitions, official visits, strikes, weather conditions, traffic congestion, etc.), we are obliged to cancel all or part of the services.

MYCOMM reserves the right, should circumstances require, to modify itineraries or travel programs at any time to ensure the smooth running of the trip. Such exceptional modifications do not give rise to any compensation, and the buyer may not refuse them without valid reason.

In the event that an event is postponed due to force majeure (weather conditions, decisions by the organizer, political decisions, etc.), the sums paid by the buyer will automatically be transferred to the new event date, without any entitlement to compensation. If the buyer wishes to cancel due to the date change, the current cancellation terms will apply.

The information provided concerning visit programs, routes, and schedules is given for guidance only.

Important (Adults, Children, Infants): It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with all police, customs, and health formalities required for your trip. A passenger who is unable to board a flight due to missing required documents (passport, visas, vaccination certificates, tickets, etc.) will not be entitled to any refund.

We may provide information regarding visa and vaccination requirements for each destination; however, political or health conditions in certain countries may change rapidly. You are responsible for carrying out the necessary procedures with the relevant authorities, and all related administrative costs remain at your expense.

Any claim related to a trip must be sent to MYCOMM by registered letter, accompanied by the original supporting documents or a written report from our service provider, within one month of the return date.

After this period, no claim will be considered. The response time may vary from 1 to 3 months, depending on the duration of our investigation with the relevant service providers.


REMARKS:

Any trip cut short or any service not used by the traveler shall not give rise to any refund. For stays and tours, prices are calculated based on the number of nights. Consequently, you may lose a few hours of stay upon arrival and/or departure, either due to flight schedules or standard international hotel check-in and check-out times, without entitlement to any compensation. A triple room is a double room with an additional rollaway bed. Given the specific conditions of charter and special flights, please note that any unused seat on the outbound or return flight cannot be refunded, and rescheduling to another flight requires payment for the new ticket at the applicable fare.

MYCOMM declines all responsibility for any activities carried out locally that are not listed on the quotation or technical information sheet provided.


SUPERVISION:

The coordinator acts as the agency’s representative and serves as the point of contact with local service providers. Their role is to ensure that all planned services are properly delivered and that the trip runs smoothly throughout its duration.

They may assist with customs formalities and baggage check-in, accompany travelers during transfers, and oversee room allocation and check-out procedures. They remain available to assist clients with any issues that may arise (such as theft reports, accidents, etc.).

The coordinator informs the group of scheduled or modified times (visits, transfers, departures, etc.) and provides general information about the city or country visited. Their role is informative only — only the designated guides during visits are authorized to deliver the cultural content of the trip.


NOTICE:

The agency reserves the right to exclude at any time, after consultation with the group leader, any client whose behavior is deemed to endanger the safety of others or disrupt the group’s harmony. No compensation shall be due to the client(s) concerned in such cases.
