General Terms, Cancellation, and Refund Policy
GENERAL RULES
Life Kimya Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (hereinafter referred to as the "HOTEL") and those who purchase accommodation services via the website or call center (hereinafter referred to as the "CUSTOMER") agree to comply with the following rules.
- The service purchased by the CUSTOMER and its scope are specified on our website.
- The CUSTOMER acknowledges that they have read and are informed about the content of the accommodation service described on our web pages or in our brochures, which includes the specifications of the purchased service.
- The CUSTOMER agrees that they accept these accommodation sales rules on behalf of themselves and other persons who will participate in the travel with them, and that they are responsible for providing accurate information such as the names and identification numbers of those participants. The CUSTOMER is also responsible for informing other participants about the pre-notification and the scope of the accommodation service, and it is acknowledged that the voucher given to the CUSTOMER is considered to have been given to the participants as well. Since all notifications regarding the purchased service will be provided through the contact details shared at the time of purchase, the CUSTOMER acknowledges that the HOTEL has no responsibility in case of incorrect, incomplete, or no communication information provided by the CUSTOMER.
- The CUSTOMER acknowledges that they are fully responsible for their luggage and its contents and that they are responsible for monitoring and controlling the belongings they carry with them. The CUSTOMER also agrees that the HOTEL and its employees have no legal and/or criminal responsibility for lost, stolen, or damaged belongings and that they will not make any claims against the HOTEL and/or HOTEL employees for these reasons.
- The CUSTOMER agrees that they are obliged to comply with the laws and customs applicable to the facility where they will stay and that they will comply with the rules regarding the purchased service as notified by the facility and agency officials. The CUSTOMER acknowledges that they will be personally and primarily responsible for any material or moral damages that may arise if they endanger the life and property security/integrity of third parties and that the HOTEL will not be obliged to perform the service in such cases, and therefore the CUSTOMER will not have the right to a refund.
- The CUSTOMER agrees that they are responsible for paying for all extra food and drinks, personal expenses, and all goods and services not included in the purchased accommodation service.
- If the CUSTOMER terminates the service due to the service being defective, they agree to notify the HOTEL representative and the hotel where they are staying in writing of the reasons for the termination as required by the duty to cooperate and act diligently; otherwise, it will be deemed that they have received and used the service.
- The CUSTOMER will not have the right to compensation if the fault lies with the CUSTOMER, an unforeseen and unavoidable act by a third party, force majeure (adverse weather conditions, road obstruction, strike, terrorism, fog, possibility of war, unforeseeable technical issues, etc.), or an unforeseen and unavoidable event occurs despite the HOTEL and/or independent service provider taking all due care.
- If the HOTEL unjustly cancels the service, the HOTEL will refund all payments made by the CUSTOMER within 14 days.
- The CUSTOMER may transfer the service to a third party who meets the conditions by notifying the HOTEL in writing or via a permanent data storage device up to 2 days before the start of the service. The transferee and the transferor are jointly responsible for any balance and all expenses arising from the transfer.
- If the CUSTOMER does not notify in writing that they will participate in the service they missed the start of, the HOTEL reserves the right to cancel all reservations and services made on behalf of the CUSTOMER after 24 hours. In such cases, no refund will be made to the CUSTOMER. If the CUSTOMER notifies in writing within 24 hours from the start of the service that they will participate again, they may only benefit from the remaining days of the service, provided that the payment has been made.
- Since the contact information shared by the CUSTOMER at the time of purchase, such as address, phone, and email, will be used for notifications, the CUSTOMER is responsible for notifying any changes to this contact information.
- If the CUSTOMER is not of legal age, depending on the rules of the accommodation facility, they may not be able to benefit from the service without a parent or legal guardian accompanying them. In such cases, the cancellation conditions specified in this document will apply.
- If the CUSTOMER notifies the HOTEL in writing or via a permanent data storage device up to 2 days before the start of the service that they have decided not to use the purchased accommodation service, the full amount paid, except for mandatory taxes, fees, and similar legal obligations, will be refunded. If the CUSTOMER notifies the HOTEL in writing or via a permanent data storage device within less than 2 days before the start of the service that they have decided not to use the purchased accommodation service, they agree to pay the HOTEL the cost of the first night's stay. Any request for a change of dates by the CUSTOMER will be considered as a withdrawal, and the CUSTOMER will notify the HOTEL in writing, taking into account the above-mentioned time periods. The exception to this clause is if the CUSTOMER or their first-degree relatives experience a health condition/death that prevents them from participating in the trip, which was not present at the time of booking. If such a situation occurs, the CUSTOMER must provide documentation proving the event before the start of the service. In this case, the full amount paid by the CUSTOMER will be refunded within 14 days, excluding mandatory taxes, fees, and similar legal obligations, as well as non-refundable amounts paid to third parties, provided that the CUSTOMER has shown all due care.
