When a Supplier processes personal information of other Users (for example, personal data, address, email, shipping address, telephone number, etc...), according to EU law, they are considered as an independent data controller regarding other users’ data.
For more information on the General Data Protection Regulation, readers are invited to consult https://gdpr-info.eu/ and https://www.dataprotection.ie/.
As the data controller (who decides which personal data is collected and the purpose for using it), the Supplier may be required, under applicable data protection and privacy laws, to honor any requests received from customers/users regarding access to their data, portability, correction, deletion, and objections to their processing.
It is specified that disclosing, or transferring to third parties, a user’s personal information without their expressed consent constitutes unauthorized disclosure, which is prosecutable and punishable.
Information obtained through localtourism.it and relating to platform Users may be used by Suppliers only for communications related to localtourism or for transactions made through it. The Supplier may not use this information for unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Without the user’s consent, it is not possible to add any localtourism.it user to one’s email or mailing list, use the user’s identity for marketing actions, obtain or retain payment information.
localtourism.it (Owner and Manager), the TO, and each individual Supplier, each within their competence, are considered joint controllers of data and personal information.
Readers are invited to review the privacy policies and personal data processing of localtourism.it (Owner and Manager) and the TO presented in articles 14, 15, and 16 of these General Conditions.

The Supplier is required to upload content related to their proposals/offers on the localtourism.it platform, consisting of:
- Descriptions, specifications, price lists, photographs, logistical information, routes, geolocations, and anything else required by the platform for the correct presentation of offers.
It is specified that prices and price lists for any service/product, in addition to respecting the parity rate principle, must include any commissions due to the management of payment systems. Moreover, for products, shipping costs must be clearly stated.
The prices and price lists related to tourism services, in addition to respecting the parity rate principle, must include:
- any commissions due to the management of payment systems;
- any remuneration to be provided to the TO for the potential sale of services, accommodations, and performances within tourist packages (the brokerage quota of the packages due to the entity responsible for their sale is 20%).

f) Grant permission for use to localtourism.it
By publishing content and listings on localtourism.it, the Supplier grants localtourism.it (Owner) a license to use them. localtourism.it does not claim any ownership rights over the Supplier's Content, but has the permission to use them to enable the platform and the Site/App to function and to grow. This way, localtourism.it can help to promote Services and Products, not only through its website and app but also using its social networks. Moreover, the Supplier consents to the use of his content (or parts of it) for the creation of promotional materials (digital or otherwise) by localtourism.it (Owner). Finally, it is recognized and accepted that localtourism.it may place promotions on the website/app and on related social channels, which could involve the Supplier's offers.

By publishing Services and Products on localtourism.it, the Supplier grants localtourism.it and the TO a license to use them in the creation of Integrated Tourist Packages. The conditions for the provision/sale of Services within any Packages are assumed to be unchanged, compared to those related to the provision/sale of the individual Service.
h) Assign the following rights to localtourism.it
By publishing their content, the Supplier grants to localtourism.it (Owner) a non-exclusive, free, irrevocable, transferable, and perpetual license to use, display, modify, reproduce, distribute, store, and prepare derivative works from the granted content. This allows localtourism.it to provide Services to the Supplier and promote its activities/products, the Monti Dauni tourist destination, and tourist Services in general, in any format and through any channel, including localtourism.it Services or any social media, third-party website, or advertising medium. The Supplier agrees not to assert any moral rights or rights of publicity against localtourism.it (Owner) concerning the use of his content. The Supplier also recognizes localtourism.it's legitimate interest in using such content, in accordance with the purpose of this license, to the extent that the content itself contains personal information. localtourism.it (Owner), by virtue of the acquired rights, can therefore (by way of example): use photos and descriptions uploaded to the site by the Supplier to produce any other promotional materials for the Services and Products, as well as for the generic promotion of the Monti Dauni.
i) Build a positive reputation through the review system
localtourism.it allows Users to leave a review about the services and experiences they have used and the products they have purchased.

The Supplier may optionally respond to the review.
Reviews and responses to them that may be offensive or discriminatory in any way will not be published (in this regard, readers are invited to review the Discrimination Policy at point l) of this article).

The Client must be at least eighteen years of age, have the legal capacity to enter into contracts at the time of booking/purchase, have the necessary authorization or power to act for or on behalf of everyone included in a booking/purchase, and must use the Site in compliance with these General Conditions.
The Client assures and confirms that the details provided with reference to all parts of the booking and/or purchase are complete and accurate, that all parties have agreed to be bound by these General Conditions, and that the Booking/Purchasing Consumer (Client) has the authority to accept and does accept these General Conditions on behalf of all clients of the booking.

localtourism.it offers a messaging system via email for Users (Providers and Clients).
3.1.1 Confirmation
localtourism.it (Manager) sends a Confirmation email to the Client in the case of booking and/or purchasing services and/or products; this communication includes the essential elements of the order such as description, quantity, price, date of provision, etc… and can also be found in the Client Profile section on the website/app. If the Client does not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours from making a booking and/or purchase, and cannot see their booking and/or purchase on the website/app, they must contact the Customer Service, by sending an email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it
It is understood that the data stored in the computer systems of localtourism.it and/or its Providers will constitute proof of the bookings and purchases made. Data stored on computers or electronic supports therefore constitutes valid evidence, and must be accepted under the same conditions and with the same evidential value as a written document on paper.
3.1.2 Cancellation
Except as provided in art. 5.3 with reference to Travel Packages, cancellations can be made by sending an email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it
- at least 72 hours before the scheduled date for the provision of the service, in the case of accommodations, catering services, transportation
- at least 7 days in advance in the case of experiences/activities
localtourism.it (Manager) may apply management fees in case of cancellation of a booking/purchase.
In case of total or partial cancellation of a booking/purchase, within the times provided by these conditions, a fee may be charged to the Client to cover the costs already incurred for the organization of the service/supply.
If a cancellation concerns more than one user within a single booking/order of purchase, any possible expense due to the cancellation will be charged against each user within the same booking/order of purchase.
If the Client’s cancellation notification is forwarded to localtourism.it outside the specified time limits, no refund will be made in their favor.
For additional cancellation rights and restrictions relating to Travel Packages, see paragraph 5.3
3.1.3 Modification of the booking
Except as provided in art 5.3 for travel packages, if, after making a booking/purchase of services, the Client wishes to modify its details, regarding the date, destination, accommodation, or means of transportation, etc…. they may, if allowed by their booking/purchase, make such change on the site www.localtourism.it in the section relating to their User Profile or send an email with a modification request to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it. In case of modification of a booking, an additional cost to the original may be applied - for more details, please refer to the Rules and Restrictions made available during the booking/purchase process.
localtourism.it (Manager) may apply management fees in case of modification of a booking.
3.1.4 Refunds
In cases where a refund is due to the Client, for example for cancellation by the Provider of a service, the related sums, net of necessary possible deductions, will be returned by the party that received the original payment on the card used to carry out the original transaction.
Any booking/purchase fees in force will not be refundable, except as provided in paragraph 5.3 for travel packages.
3.1.5 Documents
Following a booking/purchase of one or more services and/or products, as well as travel packages, localtourism.it issues a digital Voucher to the Client related to the booking/purchase order, containing the booking/purchase documents, available on the platform in the Client Profile and sent via Confirmation email to the address provided by the Client during registration on the Site/app.
localtourism.it (Manager), the TO, or the Provider of the purchased service cannot be held responsible if the delivery or availability of the booking/purchase documents proves impossible due to an error made by the Client in providing their personal details or their email address.
3.1.6 Payment
The Client will have to provide their credit card details and localtourism.it (Manager) will check: the validity of the credit card and the availability of funds on the credit card (which will be subject, for a limited amount, to a pre-authorization procedure, confirmed by the issuing bank of the Client’s credit card).
The costs of the Services and/or Performances and/or Products purchased on the Site can be paid alternatively to:
a) Provider (“book on the site, pay at the facility”)Some services may only be bookable on localtourism.it, others may allow not only purchasing on the site but also the possibility to book on the site and pay the service later directly to the Provider. In both cases, the client will have to make the booking on localtourism.it, entering their credit card details into the system as a guarantee. The actual payment of the service will occur at the time of its provision and directly to the Provider.
b) localtourism.it (“purchase on the site”)The payment for the service/product purchased is made by the Client entirely at the time of selecting the service/product on the site and by credit card. Travel Packages can only be purchased in this manner.
Note: Before proceeding with the purchase of the selected Service/product, the Client must ensure that their account has sufficient funds to pay for all the selected services/products. If there are not enough available funds, despite localtourism.it (Manager) not charging any cost or expense on the Client’s account, making the purchase could cause the amounts on the Client’s credit card to be blocked until the transaction amount is formally released by the issuing bank.
Following both possible choices made, localtourism.it (Manager) will notify the Client of the acceptance of the booking/purchase order made by means of a digital Voucher available on the Client’s profile of the Site/App and by confirmation email. The confirmation email will therefore contain a copy of the booking/purchase details. If any data is not correctly reported, or the Client does not view the Voucher in their profile section and/or does not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, the Client is required to promptly contact the Customer Service at the email assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it
3.1.7 Payment to different parties
The Client can make payments on localtourism.it towards multiple services, also provided by different Providers, using the “cart” and “your trip” functions.
The “cart” function allows the purchase of multiple services and/or products, not attributable to a single Travel experience. The “your trip” function instead allows the Client to construct a tailor-made Travel Package. In this case, localtourism.it accepts the client’s request and applies to the created product the same provision and sale policies of Travel Packages (including assistance from the TO). In both cases, localtourism.it (Manager) does not apply any kind of commissions, therefore the total amount resulting from both “cart” and “your trip” operations will not exceed the total price of the selected services.
If the Client should erroneously use the “cart” instead of the “your trip” function (or vice versa) for the creation of a tailor-made Package, localtourism.it (Manager) will by default transfer the order to the correct category. This operation will not entail any variation for the Client.
3.2 Specific Services and Products
3.2.1. Attractions, activities, and experiences
localtourism.it offers the Client a wide range of activities in the “Experiences” section that can be carried out during a holiday in the Monti Dauni area. These activities are very diverse and range from the classic guided tour of cultural attractions, to nature hikes, visits to typical product companies, food and wine tastings, role-playing games, and so on.
The experiences are provided by Providers, who are responsible for their implementation and who must have all the necessary authorizations to conduct that type of activity and any related insurance coverage. The Client can book/purchase one or more experiences by adding them to their “cart”; or they may find them already included in Travel Packages (in the “Itineraries” section of the website); or they can select them using the “Your Trip” feature, creating a tailor-made package.
Within the website/app, the client will find all the information related to the experiences available: date, prices, logistics, any necessary equipment, duration, complementary services, etc...
It is the responsibility of each Provider to ensure the accuracy and correctness of the data entered regarding the description of the activities.
It is possible that some activities and experiences offered by Providers on localtourism.it may be canceled, for example due to adverse weather conditions, force majeure, or if the required number of participants to activate them is not reached.
In the case of experiences that include multiple activities, the sequence of these activities mentioned in the description is to be considered purely indicative. The sequence may be modified by the Provider, depending on the needs or contingencies of the moment.
3.2.2 Bookings
All Experience bookings are subject to availability at the time of booking. The acceptance of bookings made by the Client by localtourism.it (Manager) will depend on the actual availability of the activities.
localtourism.it (Manager) commits to keeping the listings on the website updated, but does not guarantee that every Experience advertised on it will be available at the time of booking. localtourism.it will inform the Client as soon as possible after booking if, for any reason, the Experience for which the Client has made the booking is not available.
The experiences are activated if the minimum number of participants set by the Provider is reached. The Client may purchase the experience if this number has already been reached, otherwise, they will need to book it. Upon reaching the minimum number, the Client will be notified of the actual purchase of the experience in their personal User Profile section of the Site.
A contract will be concluded between the Client and the Provider only when the price due for the purchase of the service has been paid and localtourism.it has issued a Purchase Confirmation email to the Client, containing a digital Voucher with the order details, also available in the User Profile on the Site/App.
3.2.3 Prices
The Provider is responsible for the accuracy of the cost indication of an Experience on localtourism.it.
The prices of Experiences do not include any insurance coverage, rental of equipment, or anything else that may be necessary for the conduct of the activities planned, unless expressly indicated in the description of the Experience itself.
3.2.4 Cancellations and changes made by the Client
3.2.4.1 Cancellation
The possible cancellation and modification of an Experience by localtourism.it are contemplated in the following cases:
- failure to reach the minimum number of participants required;
- impossibility of conducting the activity due to force majeure, such as adverse weather conditions, verified impossibility of reaching the location of the activities, natural disasters, epidemics, etc...
In both cases, it will be the care of localtourism.it (Manager) to notify the Client of the cancellation of an experience. The Client can then choose a new date for the experience, a refund of the amount paid, or use the amount paid to purchase other available Experiences. In this case, any cost differences between the originally chosen Experience and the alternative one will be compensated either by payment of the missing amount by the Client or by a refund of the excess amount by localtourism.it (Manager). The client is given the option to request a credit Voucher from localtourism.it Customer Service, by sending an email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it, having the same value as the purchased and canceled Experience to be used within 3 months for the purchase of other services/products on the platform. This Voucher will be available in the requesting Client’s User Profile and will be sent via email.
In the case of cancellation of an experience by the Client, it will be accepted if notified at least 7 days before the date of the experience. localtourism.it (Manager) may still retain part of the cost of the Experience to cover any expenses incurred.
In addition to the right to cancel, the Client has the right to cancel an Experience without incurring any cost if an event due to Inevitable and Extraordinary Circumstances occurs at the place of the experience or in its immediate vicinity, provided that localtourism.it (Manager) has confirmed that such an event can have a substantial impact on the execution of the Experience or could affect the transport of passengers to that place. If the Client cancels under these circumstances, localtourism.it (Manager) will provide a full refund of the payments made for the booking but the Client will not be entitled to any compensation.
In this case, the Client may also request the issuance of a credit Voucher having the same value as the canceled Experience to be used within 3 months for the purchase of other services/products on the platform. Naturally, in this case, they will not be entitled to any refund.
If the Client does not show up for an purchased Experience or does not use some or all of the booked Services, they will not be entitled to any refund.
3.2.4.2 Modification of a booking/purchase by the Client
If, following a booking/purchase of an Experience, a Client wants to modify elements such as the date of the event, time, etc…, the Client is required to access the Experiences section of the Site and check the possibility to modify the booking online. It is specified that not all Experience bookings/purchases may be modifiable.
Furthermore, localtourism.it (Manager) may impose a fee in case of modification to a purchase - please consult the applicable Rules and Restrictions communicated during the booking process for more details.
3.2.4.3 Assignment by the participant
The Client may transfer an Experience to another person who meets all the conditions for the use of the Experience itself, to perform such operation it will be necessary, where possible, to access the section related to their User Profile on the site and change the participant’s details, or send a request by email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it; this operation is allowed up to 7 days before the date of the event. For such possible assignment neither localtourism.it (Manager) nor the Provider apply increases to the established and/or already paid price.
3.2.4.4 Responsibility of localtourism.it for the execution of the Experiences
localtourism.it (Owner and Manager) does not provide any of the services related to the conduct of the Experiences, which are delivered by Third-Party Providers. localtourism.it (Owner and Manager) is therefore not responsible for the execution of the services related to the tourist Experiences promoted and/or marketed on its platform.
The Client can inform localtourism.it (Manager) of any inaccurate or failed execution of the Experience ("Lack of Conformity") by sending an email to the customer service within 3 days from the date of the event: assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it. localtourism.it reserves the right to verify the alleged conditions of lack of conformity reported and in the case of actual verification of the same proceed to a possible partial refund to the Client. No refund can be made by localtourism.it (Manager), in the case where the client has opted for the “book on the site, pay at the facility” payment solution.
3.2.4.5 Accessibility and reduced mobility
Not all Experiences are suitable for clients with reduced mobility or specific needs. It is suggested to contact localtourism.it by sending an email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it for more information on the tourist products that might be suitable for the Client’s specific needs so as to receive support before the booking/purchase of the Experience is completed.
3.3.1 Accommodation Services - Bookings and Purchases
Accommodation services can be offered individually or as part of a Travel Package. Except for accommodations to which the "book on the site/pay at the facility" applies, all choice options are made available by localtourism.it (whether offered separately or as part of a Travel Package) in accordance with what has already been exposed and the applicable Rules and Restrictions related to the stay made available before booking/purchase.
Purchasing accommodations in the "purchase on the site" mode will require charging the Customer's credit card for the full payment amount at the time of booking. For other accommodation bookings, it will be necessary to provide credit card details as a guarantee of the booking itself and the final payment that will occur directly at the facility during the stay. The Customer must refer to the detailed information shown during the booking/purchase process to select the chosen payment method. The prices shown on the Site do not include taxes, such as the tourist tax or costs for additional services, including minibar service, equipment rental, etc...
The Customer is allowed to make changes to their booking by notifying localtourism.it by sending an email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it no later than 72 hours before the start of the expected check-in. Visimontidauni will verify the possibility of making the changes based on the Provider's availability. Any accepted changes may result in a variation of the total amount of the cost of services.
If a Customer does not show up for the first night booked/purchased and intends to use the accommodation services for the subsequent nights booked, the Customer must notify localtourism.it by sending an email to the customer service assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it, confirming the booking/purchase, with indication of the new arrival at the facility, no later than the date originally planned for the initial check-in, so as to avoid the entire booking being canceled.
If the Customer does not notify localtourism of any changes regarding the date and time of arrival agreed in the booking/purchase, or if they do not show up for the first night, the entire booking may be canceled; the discipline of refunds and withholdings will be as contained in the applicable Rules and Restrictions as made known during the booking/purchase.
3.3.2. Use of rooms

Single rooms are usually equipped with a single bed. There is the possibility of booking a double room (double bed) for single use in some facilities (such availability is to be verified in the descriptions on localtourism.it); a supplement is often due for this type of room. Double rooms usually offer two single beds or one double (double bed).
It is also possible to find in the accommodation proposals triple and multiple rooms, suites, apartments, etc...
3.3.3. Comfort Level
Any indications of the comfort level assigned to accommodation facilities in the description on the Site correspond to a description based on the standards present in Italy for that specific type of structure. This classification is purely indicative. We always recommend reading carefully the descriptions of the individual accommodation facilities and their accommodation proposals, in order to have a clear idea of the services offered. Unless otherwise specified, accommodation is to be understood as in standard-type rooms.
It is possible that, from time to time, for various reasons (for example, a facility is overbooked caused by connectivity problems or the facility is closed due to force majeure) the booking may be canceled or modified by the Provider or by localtourism.it (Manager). In the event that this occurs, localtourism.it (Manager) will make all reasonable efforts possible to promptly inform the Customer of the event and where possible will offer alternative accommodation in a facility that has at least the same category and provides similar services.
3.3.4. Non-conventional Accommodations
localtourism.it accommodation facilities include different types: guest houses, B&Bs, farmhouses, hotels, motels, etc... Some proposals concern non-conventional accommodations, for which standard comfort levels are not provided: it could be camping, shelters, tree house hotels, etc... The Customer who intends to book or purchase this type of accommodation is required to carefully read the type of service proposed; by booking/purchasing such types of accommodation the Customer confirms their full awareness of the object and characteristics of the same booking/purchase.
3.3.5 Complementary Services
In the booking/purchase of accommodation, essential services, such as breakfast, and other complementary services, such as the use of sports equipment, access to a spa, etc., may be included. For an informed purchase, the Customer is invited to carefully read the descriptions of the services offered by the accommodation facilities of interest.
It is also noted that not all accommodation facilities offer catering services.
3.4. Catering Services
Catering services, not included in accommodations, can be offered on localtourism.it both as a single service and as part of a Travel Package.
If meals and/or tastings are included in a Package, the number of meals depends on the number of nights stayed; packages may include meals/tastings at different restaurants from the accommodation facility where one is staying.
Full board normally includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Half board normally includes breakfast and either lunch or dinner, depending on the type of offer. The B&B arrangement offers only breakfast. Accommodations that include main meals generally start with dinner on the arrival day at the facility and end with breakfast (in case of half board) or lunch (in case of full board) on the departure day. If the Client does not use one or more meals, no refund will be made.
Clients are recommended to always check the contents of the offers, such as the possible inclusion of water and/or drinks. The descriptions of the offers contain information regarding services dedicated to special needs. However, users with particular dietary needs for health reasons (intolerances and allergies), religious beliefs, or philosophical reasons can request additional information about offers and Providers that provide services that meet their needs by contacting localtourism.it at assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it
Parents are advised to bring special foods for children, as they may not be locally available.
It is also specified that the individual offers related to tastings, lunches, or dinners at localtourism.it’s Provider restaurants are subject to menu variations, number of courses, etc...
3.5. Taxes
Local authorities may impose additional taxes (tourist tax, etc.), to be paid locally. The Client shall be solely responsible for the payment of such additional taxes.
3.6 “Purchase on the site” or “Book now and pay at the facility”
The Client can choose the "purchase on the site" or "book now / pay at the facility" payment options. If the "purchase on the site" payment option is selected, the Service is made available to the Client by localtourism.it which will immediately charge the amount in euros on the indicated credit card. If the "book now / pay at the facility" option is selected, the Client must still provide localtourism.it with their credit card details as a guarantee. The actual payment of the amount due will be made directly to the Provider at the facility.
Where the "book now / pay at the facility" option has been selected for a service purchased individually, the Provider will directly make the Service available to the Client. The Client will conclude a contract with the Provider. For such transactions, localtourism.it (Manager), will act as an intermediary between the Client and the Provider (but not as an intermediary in the payment), transmitting the booking details to the Provider in question and sending the Client a confirmation email on behalf of the Provider. The booking of the services will require credit card details to secure the booking and the cards may be verified or pre-authorized.
4.1. Transport
4.1.1. Transport and Car Rental
The Client making the booking and the driver indicated must present a valid credit card in their name at the time of picking up the car. Debit cards (ATM cards) will not be accepted, and it is the Client's responsibility to verify which credit cards are accepted by the Provider.
Transport and car rental services are subject to specific Rules and Restrictions, which the Client is required to accept after becoming aware of the contract that will be provided to them each time they make a booking.
If the Client does not comply with the conditions described by the contract, the Provider may not make the car available, and the full cost of the car rental will be charged.
5. Travel Packages
A Travel Package should be understood as defined in the Tourism Code (Legislative Decree 79/2011). In general terms, a Travel Package is created when the Client makes a single booking that includes a combination of at least two of the following tourist services: (a) air transportation; (b) accommodation; (c) car rental and (d) attractions. The booking/purchase confirmation email will contain confirmation of the services included in the Travel Package. The same information will be visible in the User/Client Profile on the Site/app.
The Travel Packages shown on the Site are made available by localtourism.it and are sold by the TO Si Viaggiare; they will be subject to the terms and conditions of this article and the Rules and Restrictions applicable to the Travel Package. The Client is required to review both before making a purchase.
5.1 Bookings
All bookings for Travel Packages are subject to availability checks. The acceptance by localtourism.it (Manager) of bookings made by the Client will depend on the availability of the Travel Package. localtourism.it is not required to provide reasons for the refusal to accept a booking.
localtourism.it (Manager) will try to ensure that its advertisements are updated but does not guarantee that every Travel Package advertised by it will be available at the time of booking. localtourism.it (Manager) will inform the Client as soon as possible after booking if, for any reason, the Travel Package for which the Client has requested the booking is not available.
A contract will be concluded between the Client and the TO only when the price due on the booking/purchase has been paid and localtourism.it has issued a Booking/Purchase Confirmation Email to the Client, who will also find the details related to the booked/purchased Package in the User Profile section on the Site. The acceptance by localtourism.it (Manager) is formalized by sending a Confirmation Email to the Client within 24 hours of making the booking. No amount will be charged to the Client until the availability of the Service is confirmed.
5.2 Prices
localtourism.it advertises a wide number of Travel Packages and strives to ensure that the advertised price is always accurate. Despite localtourism.it’s best efforts, some of the Services listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced. localtourism.it expressly reserves the right to correct any pricing errors on the site and/or on pending reservations made under an incorrect price.
Normally, localtourism.it (Manager) checks prices at the time of booking. In case of an error, and when the correct price is lower than the price indicated at the time of booking, the lower price will be charged for the purchase. If the price is higher, the Client will be contacted to provide instructions or to cancel their booking (at the sole discretion of localtourism.it) and a notice will be sent to allow them to make a decision regarding it.
localtourism.it is not obligated to provide the Client with a Travel Package that was offered at an incorrect price, even after sending a Booking Confirmation Email, if the error is reasonably recognizable to the Client. In such circumstances, the Client may be contacted to provide instructions or to cancel the Client's booking, and a notice will be sent to allow them to make a decision regarding it.
localtourism.it (Manager) may change the price of a confirmed Travel Package due to causes not attributable to it (e.g., VAT regime increase, price increases due to currency fluctuations, fuel costs in transport, etc...) by notifying the Client of any price increase at least 20 days before the start of the Travel Package, along with the recalculation of the cost of services and a justification for such change(s).
If the price of the Client's Travel Package has increased by more than 10% of the original price, the Client may:
- (a) accept and pay the price increase;
- (b) refuse the price increase and withdraw from the Travel Package with a full refund excluding the administrative fees for handling always due;
- (c) refuse the price increase, withdraw from the Travel Package, and accept an alternative one, if one is offered. If the Client decides to accept an alternative Travel Package, they will be informed of the impact on the price of the booking. If an alternative Travel Package is of lower quality or cost, the Client will be entitled to a refund of the difference in price compared to the package originally confirmed excluding the administrative fees for handling always due.
The Client will be given a reasonable period to make a decision: 7 days from the notice of the price increase. If the Client does not confirm within this time period, localtourism.it (Manager) will send a reminder after which the TO will have the right to withdraw from the Travel Package and the Client to receive a full refund excluding the administrative fees for handling always due.
The travel descriptions on the Site specify the Services included in the price for each trip. Prices are shown in euros. localtourism.it Packages typically do not include transportation services (airline tickets, train or ship tickets, shuttle services, car rentals, etc...); however, these are available to the Client, who can request them from the TO by activating the “add service” option present on the page related to the individual Package.
Unless specifically indicated, prices do not include insurance, air services, charges for excess luggage, transportation from the airport to the accommodation, visa and vaccination fees, or any personal expense (laundry, telephone, drinks, room service, tips, etc...), tourist taxes, nor tickets for shows, use of sports facilities or any other general cost that is not expressly included in the description of the Package, in the Booking Confirmation email, and the related Voucher.
If localtourism.it (Manager) and/or the TO become aware or are notified of any fraudulent or illegal activity associated with the payment for the booking, the booking will be canceled, and the Client will be responsible for any expenses resulting from such cancellation, without prejudice to actions that may be taken against the Client.
All localtourism.it Packages may also be marketed by other entities authorized to sell travel packages (ADV and TO), should they request it and under the same sales conditions indicated on localtourism.it, including final prices to the Client.
5.3 Cancellations and Changes Made by the Client
5.3.1 Cancellation
Requests from the Client regarding the cancellation or modification of a trip must be submitted online by accessing the Client User Profile section or by sending an email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it. These requests will be managed on behalf of localtourism.it (Manager) and the TO.
In the case of cancellation of the Travel Package booking by the Client, localtourism.it (Manager) and the TO may require compensation to cover the costs incurred, in addition to fees owed for cancellation to the Providers. When a cancellation concerns more than one person in the booking, the standard cancellation fee will be applied per person on the booking.
localtourism.it has the right to cancel the booking of a Package before the start of the Trip in case an event due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances occurs at the destination and has a significant impact on the execution of the Travel Package and/or could affect the transport of passengers to the destination. In such circumstances, localtourism.it will propose, where possible, an alternative travel option to the client, which may differ in type, dates, and prices. The Client can decide whether to:
- Accept the package change with the new conditions
- Withdraw from the package receiving a full refund of the same excluding the administrative fees for handling always due.
If the cancellation by localtourism.it, due to exceptional events not attributable to it, occurred within a week from the departure date, the client will have 24 hours to decide and communicate their decision to localtourism.it. If the cancellation occurs within 14 days from the travel date, the client will have 3 days to communicate their decision to localtourism.it.
If the Client does not show up for the departure of the Trip or does not use some or all of the booked Services, refunds will be awarded to the Client in line with the applicable Rules and Restrictions, as established in the booking process. Specific Rules and Restrictions for accommodations, experiences, and other services included in the package are provided before completing a booking.
5.3.2 Effects of a Cancellation
The client can cancel a booked/purchased Package up to 30 consecutive calendar days before the scheduled departure. The cancellation will be made by localtourism.it (Manager) and the TO, corresponding to the Client a partial refund of the Package Cost, net of the expenses already incurred and of management and any fees owed to the Providers. Please note that Travel Packages are subject to applicable Rules and Restrictions, and separate cancellation fees established may be applied.
5.3.3 Modification of a Booking by the Client
If following the making of a booking, a Client wants to modify the contents of the Package regarding travel dates, destination, chosen experiences, the place from which the trip begins, accommodation, or means of transport, or other, the Client is required to access their personal User Profile section of the Site and modify the booking details online if possible, or send a request email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it
Neither localtourism.it (Manager), the TO, nor any Provider whose services are included in the Package, has any legal obligation to accept such changes, but they may, at their sole discretion, seek to respond to the Client's requests. Please note that often such changes cannot be accepted, as they may depend on the actual availability of services. Furthermore, following changes to the Package, the cost of the same may vary, due to different service delivery rates included.
If localtourism.it (Manager) and TO accept a modification, the Client agrees to pay an administrative fee for the application of the requested change, in addition to costs that may be indicated by TO and Providers (each within its competence) to apply the changes. The fee could be significant, and such costs tend to increase the closer the change is made to the departure date. Some elements that may constitute a Travel Package (e.g., the flight) may entail a 100% cancellation fee.
5.3.4 Transfer by the Participant
The Client can transfer the Travel Packages to another person who meets all the conditions for the use of the same, provided that the Client and the transferee agree that both will be responsible, jointly and individually, for the full payment of the balance of the price due and for any rights, taxes, and other additional costs resulting from the transfer. localtourism.it (Manager) and TO will notify the Client of such costs at the time the transfer request is received. The Client must give localtourism.it (Manager) and TO reasonable notice of such a change to allow for the necessary arrangements, but 7 days before departure may be considered reasonable. The TO will try to provide assistance for the transfer of the name, but please note that when the Travel Package includes a flight, due to the airline's Rules and Restrictions, a flight cancellation or rebooking (with a 100% cancellation charge) may occur.
5.4 Cancellations and Changes Made by localtourism.it
5.4.1 Significant Changes by localtourism.it Before the Trip
Since the arrangements that form the Travel Package are planned many months in advance, in some circumstances the TO may need to change the Client's Travel Package. The TO reserves the right to make such changes at any time. In cases where such changes are significant, i.e., when they involve the main features of the Travel Package that change one or more services within it, localtourism.it (Manager) and the TO will notify the Client as soon as possible.
The Client will have the choice between:
(a) accepting the possibly proposed package change. If this results in a Travel Package of lower quality or cost, the Client will be entitled to a price reduction corresponding to the difference in value between the original Package and the substitute Package, excluding the administrative fees for handling always due.
(b) refusing the proposed change and withdrawing from the Travel Package with a full refund excluding the administrative fees for handling always due.
(c) refusing the proposed change, withdrawing from the Travel Package, and accepting an alternative Travel Package possibly offered by the TO under the new contractual conditions.
If the change to the travel package occurred within a week from the departure date, the client will have 24 hours to decide and communicate their decision to the TO. If the change occurs within 14 days from the travel date, the client will have 3 days to communicate their decision to the TO.
If the Client does not confirm within the established periods, localtourism.it (Manager) will send a reminder after which the TO will have the right to withdraw from the Travel Package and the Client to receive a full refund excluding the administrative fees for handling always due.
localtourism.it (Manager) and the TO might not provide any of the previous options in case the change to the Travel Package is a minor change. Please note that a significant change occurs when the modification of one of the services constituting the package makes it impossible to execute it. In all other cases, the change is considered irrelevant and therefore tacitly accepted by the client.
5.4.2 Cancellations by the TO Before the Trip
On rare occasions, the TO may need to cancel the Client's Travel Package and reserves the right to do so. In such a case, localtourism.it (Manager) will inform the Client as soon as possible. The TO may (at its discretion) also offer an alternative Travel Package, where possible, and inform the Client of the impact on the price of the booking. If the alternative Travel Package is of lower quality or cost, the Client will be entitled to a price reduction, corresponding to the difference in value between the original Package and the alternative Package.
If the TO is not in a position to offer the Client an alternative or if the Client prefers it, a full refund of all payments made for the Travel Package will be provided.
5.4.3 Responsibility of localtourism.it and the TO for the Execution of the Travel Package
localtourism.it (Owner and Manager) and the TO do not provide any of the Services, facilities, or travel measures that compose the Travel Package. These are offered by Third-Party Providers with whom the TO agrees to provide the facilities or travel measures that compose the Client's Travel Package. The TO has a legal obligation to act with due diligence in concluding agreements with the Providers for the provision of the facilities or travel measures. The Client is required to inform localtourism.it immediately of any inaccurate or failed execution of the Travel Package ("Lack of Conformity"). This will allow the TO to remedy the Lack of Conformity while the Client is still on vacation. In any case, such rights will not arise if remedying the Lack of Conformity is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. In such circumstance, the Client will be entitled to request a price reduction and/or compensation for damages from the Provider who caused the disservice. Notwithstanding the Assistance role that the TO commits to recognizing on Travel Packages, it is emphasized that it purely offers “Integrated Intermediary Services” in creating packages between various Providers and the Client through the platform. The TO cannot be held responsible for any disservices caused to the client by the Providers, as it does not play the role of “pre-acquirer of the services itself”, thereby not becoming its owner.
5.5 Third-Party Provider Rules and Restrictions
In making a Travel Package available, the TO works with providers of tourist products such as airlines and accommodation providers, but does not control these Providers. The Services are subject to the applicable Rules and Restrictions of the Providers.
The service providers are solely responsible for the management of the tourist service provided even when it is part of a Package, regarding their own service. Therefore, even when the tourist service provided by them is part of a Travel Package, they are held responsible for any disservice caused to the client regarding their service and thus the only ones responsible for managing any complaints and handling them (e.g., overbooking, re-protections, failure to provide the service, etc...), according to the conditions provided by the collective travel contract CCV, notwithstanding the assistance in the form of free collaboration of the TO.
5.6 Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances
Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances refer to situations that go beyond the control of the party invoking such situations and whose consequences could not have been avoided even by taking all reasonable measures. This could include, for example, wars, other serious security problems such as terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of a serious disease at the destination, or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, or weather conditions that make it impossible to travel safely to the destination as agreed in the Travel Package contract.
5.7 Assistance on Site
5.7.1 Assistance in Case of Client Difficulties
The TO provides the Client with adequate assistance without unjustified delay in the event the Client is in difficulty, in particular by providing appropriate information regarding health services, local authorities, and consular assistance, and assisting the Client in making remote communications and helping him to find alternative tourist services if necessary. Typically, the TO does not ask for payment for such assistance, although it reserves the right to require payment of a reasonable cost for such assistance if the problem was caused intentionally or by the fault of the Client.
5.7.2 Resolving Disputes on Site
If there is a problem with the Client's Travel Package during their trip, the Client is asked to inform both the TO (using the details provided in the Booking Confirmation Email) and the relevant Provider (e.g., the accommodation provider) who will work to resolve the Client's problem. It is important that the Client reports the issue to both the TO and the Provider so that they can provide assistance to resolve it promptly.
Furthermore, the Client should send reports to the email: assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it
5.7.3 Resolving Disputes Following the Vacation
If the complaint is not resolved on site, please submit any subsequent claim within 30 days from the return date by writing to the above email, providing the booking references and any relevant information. Please send concise and punctual emails.
Please note that failing to report the problems during the vacation, as indicated above, prevents the TO and the Provider from investigating and rectifying the complaint on site, and this may affect the Client's rights under this contract, including potentially reducing any due compensation, possibly to zero.
5.8 Obligations of Providers to Offer a Price Reduction and/or Compensation for Damage.
The Client will be entitled to an appropriate price reduction by the Provider for any period during which there is a Lack of Conformity, unless the Lack is attributable to the Client himself.
The Client will be entitled to receive adequate compensation for damage from the Provider for any damage suffered as a result of a Lack of Conformity unless the Lack is:
- (a) attributable to the Client;
- (b) attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the Services included in the Travel Package and is unforeseeable or unavoidable;
- (c) due to Unavoidable and Extraordinary Circumstances.
The liability of the Provider will be limited in accordance with the applicable Rules and Restrictions relating to the elements contained in the Travel Package.
5.9 Expiry of Liability and Statute of Limitations
Claims based on the travel not conforming to the contract must be submitted by contacting assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it. Claims must be made in writing, in the interest of the Client.
5.10 Accessibility and Reduced Mobility
Not all Travel Packages are suitable for clients with reduced mobility. It is suggested to contact localtourism.it by sending an email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it for more information on tourist products that might be suitable for the specific needs of the Client so as to receive support before the booking of the Travel Package is completed.
6. Additional Information
6.1. Travel Destination
Before booking a trip, localtourism.it invites Clients from foreign countries to review any travel bans, warnings, announcements, and advice issued by local authorities and available on the institutional websites of their own country.
6.2. Prices and Information on the Site
The price of the Services will be as indicated from time to time on the Site, except in the case of an obvious material error. Prices are subject to updates at any time; however, such changes will not affect bookings already accepted except as provided in paragraph 5.3. The Client will be informed of all amounts payable at the time of booking.
Although localtourism.it (Manager) makes every effort to avoid errors, the price of some Services listed on the Site may be incorrect. localtourism.it (Manager) reserves the right to correct any obvious material errors in the price, on the site, and/or regarding bookings made at the incorrectly stated price. In such cases, localtourism.it (Manager) will offer the Client the opportunity to keep the booking at the correct price or cancel the booking without penalties for the Client. localtourism.it (Manager) is under no obligation to provide the Services to the Client at the incorrect lower price, even after the Client has sent confirmation of the booking.
6.3. Photographs and Illustrations
localtourism.it does its best to provide the Client with photographs and illustrations that give the Client a representation of the Service offered. The purpose of these photographs and illustrations is to show the Client the accommodation conditions and the level of comfort, the nature of the experiences offered, etc...; they should not be considered as a guarantee that exceeds this purpose.
6.4. Insurance
The prices indicated on the Site do not include travel insurance. Clients are encouraged to take out insurance that covers the consequences that may occur in certain cases of cancellation, and that provides coverage for extraordinary risks such as the cost of repatriation in case of accident or illness. It is the Client's responsibility to ensure that the insurance taken out is adequate to cover their needs. From time to time, during the booking process, some travel insurance products available for purchase may be shown to the Client. The details of the insurance company, key information related, and the terms and conditions will be displayed during the booking process.
6.5. Insurance for Insolvency or Bankruptcy in Case of Travel Package or Linked Travel Arrangement
The sale of tourist products on localtourism.it is managed by the TO Si Viaggiare, which has signed protection in case of insolvency or bankruptcy with Valore Sicuro -policy n. 5002002215/P
Email: info@bvviaggi.it
This insurance is valid only for Clients who create Travel Packages through the Site or in case of a Linked Travel Arrangement. Please note that this protection does not apply to any other travel product or service, such as flight only, hotel only, car rental only, or experience only booked through the Site.
In the case where a Linked Travel Arrangement has been made, the insurance will cover only the reimbursement of payments received by the TO for services that are not provided due to the insolvency or bankruptcy of the same. The insurance does not provide reimbursement in case of insolvency of another Provider and does not cover contracts concluded with other Providers, different from the TO itself.
7. Financial Terms and Payment Procedures
7.1 Local Taxes and Payments
The prices of the Services shown on the Site are expressed in Euros.
Any "purchase on the site" transaction for accommodation, special rate products, and Travel Packages is subject to the regulations for travel agents and tour operators, according to the provisions of articles 306-310 of Directive 2006/112/EC relating to the common system of value-added tax. localtourism.it proposes the sale of such conducted by the TO Si Viaggiare, based in Foggia, at Corso Garibaldi n. 38.
7.2. Expenses for the Reimbursement of Taxes
Except as specified below with reference to tax charges, neither localtourism.it (Owner and Manager) nor the TO collect taxes to transfer to the competent tax authorities. The expenses for the reimbursement of taxes on "purchase on the site" accommodation bookings constitute a recovery of the estimated taxes (e.g., sales and use taxes, occupancy tax, room tax, excise taxes, VAT, etc...) that the TO pays to the facility for taxes owed on the rental of the room for those transactions where the TO makes the Service directly available to the Client. The facility invoices the TO for the amount of the taxes. The facilities are responsible for paying the taxes to the competent fiscal jurisdictions. Neither localtourism.it nor the TO act as co-vendors together with the facility with which the Client books their travel.
The actual taxes paid by the TO to the facilities may differ from the expenses due for the reimbursement of taxes based on the rates, the taxability regime, etc., in force at the time of using the services provided by the accommodation. In addition to the above, in certain jurisdictions, sales taxes, use and/or occupancy taxes may be imposed on the amounts that the TO charges for its services. The actual taxes paid on our services, if any, may vary depending on the rate in effect at the time of using the services provided by the accommodation.
8. Customer Service and Complaint Management
Questions, requests for information, or complaints should be sent via email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it
To facilitate the procedure, Clients are invited to submit their complaints within 30 days from the end of a trip.
In general, complaints will be handled only if the issues mentioned in the email were reported through email to assistenza.clienti@localtourism.it during the trip (or as soon as reasonably possible), or to the carrier/provider if the dispute arises during the outbound or return journey, so as to be able to take steps to resolve the issue and limit the damage suffered by the Client. However, there may be exceptions based on the circumstances.
Complaints concerning loss, theft, or damage to luggage, clothes, or personal accessories that were not under the control of the Client during the stay should be addressed to the concerned Provider.
The European Commission platform for online dispute resolution is available at http://ec.europa.eu/odr
