Terms & Conditions
The following General Terms and Conditions become effective when the event contract is concluded:
1. Service Scope
The company Sverigeagenten (powered by Luxury Travel Sweden AB) organises events, tours and meetings with service packages that are to be negotiated individually. For these service packages the company Sverigeagenten generally presents the sole contract partner. In exceptional cases Sverigeagenten also acts as an agent for a third party provider and explicitly indicates this beforehand. For these third party providers, that are normally just recommended, these General Terms and Conditions do not apply but only the contract relations as respectively agreed.
2. Owner
Owner Henrik Tidefjärd, Sweden, is the owner of the company Luxury Travel Sweden AB, which includes the brand Sverigeagenten. Contracts are concluded with him, except in case that the company Sverigeagenten acts as an agent or mediator for third parties.
3. Booking and Contract Conclusion
The booking can only be made in writing by mail, by fax or by short messages. The booking has to indicate clearly the number of participants the service scope and the agreed price.
Should several persons book through a natural or legal person (e.g. a company), this person will be liable for each individual participant as well as the own liabilities, if not stipulated differently.
The content of the offer has to match the content of the booking. Should one party deviate from the content thereof this will constitute a new offer that needs to be agreed in writing by both parties anew.
4. Terms of Payment
The payment for the services of Sverigeagenten is due no later than 14 days before the start of the service, in case of near-term bookings for tours and events the payment is due immediately and in full.
5. Liability
Sverigeagenten (powered by Luxury Travel Sweden AB) is liable for the diligent preparation, duly provision of the agreed services, dutiful selection of third parties for locations and activities on site as well as the correctness of the tour description. Sverigeagenten is not liable for
surprising promises made by third party providers that go beyond the agreed service scope, damages not involving injury to life and health, or that exceed three times the total price, insofar as the action was not committed grossly negligent or intentional. This also applies to damages caused by third party providers or external service providers like bus tour operators that accept the transport of guests.
6. Cancellation by Customer and No-Show for booked activities
Irrespective of the date of the cancellation Sverigeagenten have to be paid for any services rendered up to that date that were provided in good faith in the effectiveness of the contract or that occurred due to entering into contracts with third party providers. Sverigeagenten undertakes to disclose these in detail.
In addition the following flat-rate cancellation fees apply in % of the purchase price:
up to 60 days prior to the activity a cancellation free of charge is possible
up to 30 days prior to the activity 50%
up to 15 days prior to the activity 75%
from 5 days prior to the activity 100%
in case of no-show or complete cancellation prior to or during the activity/tour 100%. This applies in particular in case a customer fails to attend a contractually agreed service.
The storyteller or guide is obliged to wait at the agreed meeting point for 30 minutes. The exact meeting point will be communicated with the booking and it is imperative to be complied with. Delays need to be notified by the customer within the waiting time by telephone in due time.
It is left to the customer to prove that the loss incurred by Sverigeagenten due to the cancellation was lower than the flat-rate cancellation charges or did not occur at all.
7. Change of booking
Changes of booking will only be allowed in case an activity of the same kind will be available on another date with the same number of people and at the same price. Should a change in booking that was requested by the customer lead to a reduction of the service scope, a partial refund of the service is excluded. In general the same costs apply as in case of cancellation or termination. Art. 6 shall apply accordingly.
Sverigeagenten will seek to exchange admission tickets or any other fee involved, as far as possible with third party providers. Insofar booked admission tickets or fees for the original date cannot be rebooked or refunded, the ticket prices or the service will have to be charged again for the replacement date.
8. Change of Programme
Sverigeagenten reserves itself the right to change the programme under certain conditions, like e.g. weather, force majeure or in case of the change of the service scope of third parties to the best of its knowledge.
Should this lead to a reduction of the agreed service this will be reimbursed on a pro-rata basis of the total package.
In case an event cannot be carried out due to the fault of Sverigeagenten, the payment will be reimbursed. This applies in particular in case the tour guide cancels due to illness or accident and no replacement can be offered in due time.
The reimbursement solely applies to the repayment of the booked tours or events of Sverigeagenten. There will be no reimbursement of fees of the travel agents for the other programme of the customer or further travel expenses.
Further claims by the customer, that exceed the compensation of the payment, are excluded in any case. This applies in particular to immaterial damages of all kinds.
Sverigeagenten also reserves itself the right to claim any additional costs that arise in the course of a contract order and that are not covered therein. These additional costs that have to be stated in detail will be advised in advance should these exceed 15 % of the total price.
9. Notification of Deficiencies / Impairments
In case deficiencies or impairments of performance on the part of Sverigeagenten are notified, this needs to be communicated to the tour guide responsible or a contact partner of Sverigeagenten immediately upon knowledge of the reason to enable a rectification. Should this notification be omitted in spite of the knowledge of this deficiency and there is no sufficient exculpation this warranty claim is considered as forfeit upon completion of the activity.
In case deficiencies are claimed as to third party providers (see article 1), Sverigeagenten undertakes to forward this demand competently and diligently. In addition, warranty rights in case of third party providers can only be claimed within the scope of the concluded contracts in each case.
10. Insurances
Sverigeagenten (powered by Luxury Travel Sweden AB) maintains a public liability insurance. This insurance does not cover the loss of luggage or the theft of valuables except in case of intent or gross negligence. Sverigeagenten will no compensate any damages that exceed the scope of the insurance.
11. Special Terms & Conditions for Sverigeagenten
Outside of Sweden, we offer services through our European partner companies and local storytellers. All bookings and payments are still made through Sverigeagenten.
The above General Terms & Conditions also apply to Sverigeagentens´s international events. In addition, the following Special Terms & Conditions apply:
Sending a request to Sverigeagenten does not constitute a booking. After we receive confirmation from our partner company, we will first send an offer by separate email. The client can then accept this offer by placing it in the online shopping cart. An order confirmation follows only after receipt of payment is sent with an invoice.
Vicarious liability is excluded. This does not apply to injury or bodily harm. Liability for damage that is not personal injury is limited to three times the tour price and is applicable only in the following instances:
1. If the damage to the client is neither caused intentionally nor negligently, or
2. If the company Sverigeagenten is responsible for damage caused to the client solely because of the fault of a partner company.
If the partner company causes damage for which it has, under certain conditions, no or only limited liability, the liability of the company Sverigeagenten is also limited accordingly. This applies, for example, to the limited liability of venue owners or passenger transport providers. In this case, the company Sverigeagenten only responsible only if the damage was caused in terms of organisation or selection.
