4. Prices and cancellation policy

The website www.planet.bg has prices in both BGN and EUR. The calculation of the prices indicated in euros is carried out at the fixed rate of euro to BGN 1.95583. For each service (hotel accommodation, plane ticket, excursion, car rental, etc.), it is indicated whether the corresponding price is for the entire stay, whether it is per person or per room, what it includes and whether it is final. The amount that the client pays when making his reservation is final, for the entire requested stay, for all tourists and includes VAT. For hotel reservations, city taxes are paid on the spot upon leaving the hotel and their value is different, depending on the location. Planet.bg is not responsible if the user finds a lower price for a reception at a hotel or another website than the one on our site.

Planet EOOD is an intermediary of the service between its partner and its client/user of the website. At any time through his profile, the user can check the status of the cancellation terms of the reservations made by him, and if he fails to do this online, he can contact the company in one of the ways indicated in the Contacts section of the site and get relevant information. The Company practices a strict cancellation policy as follows:

- For hotel reservations and excursions - In many cases, a given price is non-refundable, which means that after booking online, cancellation is not possible. In all other cases: If the cancellation occurs 10 working days or less than 10 working days before the check-in date, the deduction from the paid reservation is 100%. If the cancellation occurs between 21 working days and 10 working days before check-in, 50% of the hotel reservation amount is deducted. If the cancellation occurs more than 21 working days before the check-in date, no cancellation fee is charged.

- In rare cases, some hotels follow their own strict cancellation policy different from that of Planet - in these cases the cancellation policy will be explicitly mentioned in the offer!

- For organized trips - From 60 to 45 days before the date of the trip - in the amount of the deposit. From 44 to 31 days before the date of the trip – 50% of the total cost of the trip. From 30 to 15 days before the date of the trip – 80% of the total cost of the trip. With less than 14 days before the date of the trip – 100% of the total cost of the trip.

- When it comes to airplane tickets and car rentals, the cancellation policies of Planett's partners providing air services are extremely strict. That's why the cancellation of an already issued and purchased plane ticket is not possible, regardless of whether the request for cancellation arises long before the flight.

- In the case of insurances, cancellation is not possible. Strict cancellation policy.

- Extraordinary cases - If there is a request for cancellation caused by a health problem or other force majeure situations, Planet EOOD will do everything necessary to be able to recover 100% of the amount paid by the user. For this purpose, in most cases, a document confirming the force majeure situation is required - for example, a doctor's note. Planet EOOD cares about its customers very much and will do everything possible to satisfy the cancellation/change request of its customers.

5. Unable to accommodate

In rare cases, it is possible for Planet to receive a refusal from the hotel to carry out the corresponding accommodation that the customer has already paid for. Possible situations are earlier closing or later opening of the respective hotel or other force majeure circumstances. In such cases, Planet undertakes to offer alternative accommodation. In case of refusal by the client, Planet undertakes to return the amount paid by the client within 30 days after the client's refusal, received in writing. Amounts are returned by bank transfer only, cash refunds are not possible. In case the payment was made with a bank card, the refund is made by ordering a reverse operation on the card with which the payment was made within 14 working days.

Planet EOOD is not responsible for non-performance or inaccurate performance of this Agreement if the reasons for this are due to the user actions of a third party unrelated to the Agreement unforeseeable events and force majeure on the part of Planet or its counterparties

In the event that the client has not made a payment or has violated the payment terms, but has not notified the company that he will not travel, the agency has the right, without the consent of the client, to cancel the reservation. In this case, the agency is not responsible to the client and does not owe compensation or penalties.

6. Changes to names, dates, room types and other parameters upon reservation

If the user wishes to make a change to a reservation he has already made, he must contact Planet as early as possible before the departure/check-in date to request the necessary changes. These changes are made only and only on the basis of Request and in writing and it is possible that they will not be implemented.

Planet reserves the right to reject the requested changes if its partner (hotel, tour operator or other) rejects the change. If, as a result of the inability to change and reluctance to travel on the part of the user for this reason, Planet EOOD is not obliged to return the amount of the unfulfilled reservation. Such claims shall be made in writing to Planet and shall be dealt with on an individual basis.

7. Categorization of accommodation facilities

For such cases or disputes, the user should contact the accommodation facility directly. In rare cases, it is possible that the categorization information provided by Planet's partner company is wrong, and Planet is not responsible for such an error, and when notified by a hotel or client, it will correct the information as quickly as possible.
