10. CHANGES MADE BY LAPOINT TRAVELS AFTER DEPARTURE

10.1 Due to later events, we may not be able to provide parts of the agreed services after departure. For certain Package Tours, it may for example be difficult to predict the precise outcome because of their special nature. Changed natural conditions, road changes, political events, etc. may cause us to make changes to the travel plan. In such cases, if possible, we will offer the Traveler alternative travel services, if possible, of the same quality or higher without any further costs to the Traveller so the Package Tour can continue. If the change results in a Package Tour of a lower quality than contracted for, the traveler shall be offered an appropriate price reduction. 

10.2 On some occasions, it can be necessary for Lapoint Travels to make changes or cancel travel services included in the package after the start of the Package Tour. If changes that are essential to the package tour have been made, the Traveler will be offered alternative travel services, a price reduction, and damages.

10.2.3 If the events are heavily affecting the performance of the Package Tour, and we have not been able to adjust the Package Tour or offer alternative services the Traveller has the right to cancel the rest of the Package Tour and claim the value of the services that have not been provided. Note that it is up to the Traveller themselves to make such a claim.

10.3 If changes to the agreed services under 10.1 or 10.2 are due to circumstances beyond our control which we could not reasonably have expected to count on when the Agreement was concluded and whose consequences we could not reasonably have avoided or overcome, the Traveler is not entitled to damages. If changes are due to subcontractors we have hired, we are free of liability only if it is due to a circumstance beyond the subcontractor's control.
