Article 19 – Travel guarantee scheme appendix

19.1 – STO Garant
All offered trips fall under the STO Garant, unless stated otherwise. You can find the conditions of this guarantee scheme on the website of STO Garant.

19.2 – Guarantee scheme STO Garant
To comply with the legally required warranty, the Organiser uses STO Garant. You can check this via the STO Garant participants page. All information about STO Garant can be found on www.sto-garant.nl.

With every (travel) offer from the Organiser (CultureRoad) it is clearly stated whether the guarantee of STO Garant applies. You can read what the guarantee means and which conditions apply in the guarantee scheme. You can find this guarantee scheme on the website of STO Garant. If STO Garant’s guarantee applies to your booking, you will not pay the travel sum to the Organiser, but to the trust account of Stichting Derdengelden Certo Escrow, a payment service provider registered with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Stichting Derdengelden guarantees your travel sum until the end of your booking. If services are not provided (in full and/or on time) due to the financial insolvency of the Organiser, STO Garant will carry out the guarantee. In the guarantee scheme you can read how you can make a claim in that case.

19.3 – Take Over Foundation (STO Garant)

19.4 – Suspension of payment or bankruptcy of Organiser
If the Organiser does not enter into a moratorium or goes bankrupt before the end of your Trip, the Traveller’s money will be released to the Organiser 1 day after the end of the Trip. If the Organiser is granted a moratorium or goes bankrupt before the end of the Trip, the travel monies will go to STO. This will prevent creditors from being able to claim Traveller’s money. If the Traveller has not yet commenced the Trip, the paid travel sum will be refunded to the Traveller. If Traveller is already on the Trip, STO Garant will ensure that Traveller receives the rightful part of the travel sum back, the Trip is completed or – if the travel agreement includes the outward and return trip – that Traveller can return home.

Article 20 – Risks appendix

20.1 – Risks during the Organiser’s trips
Some of our destinations involve risks that are greater than can be expected with an average tour. If a Traveller books a Trip with the Organiser, the Traveller accepts that with the type of tours the Organiser offers, the circumstances are different than in most Western countries on all possible aspects of travelling. When booking the Trip, the Traveller accepts that the Organiser may demand some flexibility from the Travellers during the Trip.

20.2 – Safety
The Organiser assumes that, before and during the Trip, the Traveller is aware of the situation in his Travel destination and that the Traveller accepts the associated risks. After booking, the Organiser obliges the Traveller to take out the appropriate insurance and to make himself known to the appropriate authorities (such as the nearest embassies) (see Article 4 of this agreement). Of course, the Organiser will always ensure that risks during the Trip are kept to a minimum.

20.3 – Local legislation
Everyone must also comply with local legislation at all times. The local tour guide always has the last word.

Article 21 – Additional terms specific destinations

– the Traveller does not hold the nationality of the destination
– the Traveller is not a professional journalist or photographer;
– the Traveller does not intend to publish any professional video or photographic material recorded during the tour after the Trip.

In case of doubt, the Traveller can always contact the Organiser.

21.3 – Local legislation
The Traveller must comply with local laws and regulations during the trip. Violation of these laws has serious consequences for the Organiser, the Organiser’s (business) partners, the originator (the Traveller), the group and our local guides. If Traveller violates the law and the violation is detected by local authorities, then Organiser does not assume responsibility for Traveller’s actions and violation of the law. When booking a Trip with the Organiser, the Organiser assumes that the Traveller accepts his responsibility and is aware of and complies with the above.

Article 22 – Addition: changes in the conditions

The Organiser has the right to change the above conditions at any time. The prices on the website are not binding. Only after applying for a booking does the Organiser pass on the final price. This is also related to the choices for transport, among other things. Airplanes and trains can be fully booked. If this is the case, we will let you know as soon as possible. If the Traveller does not complete the tour for any reason whatsoever, the Organiser will not make refunds.
