1. Cancellations and cancellation terms
If the USER decides to cancel a confirmed reservation, this must be done in writing and in person by the person who signed the request for services. Any cancellation of a specific reservation must be made in writing by sending an e-mail to office@SGB-Travel.com with a request for cancellation. An obligatory condition is the announcement of the reservation number.
In case of cancellation, the amount will be refunded to the USER using the same payment method used to pay for the reservation, when technically possible. When this is not possible, the amount will be refunded by bank transfer.
For refund of funds paid by bank transfer, the bank fees for the reverse bank transfer are at the expense of the USER, as a refund fee.

In case such are due for already issued air, ferry, bus, etc. tickets or visas, etc., which are part of the cost of the trip, then the tariffs and rules and conditions for cancellations of the respective provider are applied (airline, ferry company, Embassy, etc.).
