General Terms and Conditions for Package Tour Bookings

 

This document constitutes part of the explanation of transaction conditions as stipulated in Article 12-4 of the Travel Agency Act and part of the contract document as stipulated in Article 12-5 of the same Act.


 

1. Package Tour Contract

 

This tour is planned, arranged, and operated by SKYTREK Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company"). Customers participating in this tour will enter into a Package Tour Contract (hereinafter referred to as "Travel Contract") with the Company.

Alternatively, customers may fill out the Company's prescribed application form and submit it to the handling sales office with the prescribed application fee.

The Company bears no responsibility for any debts or obligations that the contract representative currently owes or is expected to owe to the members.

5. Travel Conditions for Customers Desiring to Conclude a Travel Contract via Communication Contract

 

The Company may conclude a travel contract (hereinafter referred to as a "Communication Contract") by telephone, email, fax, or other communication means, provided that a card member of a credit card company affiliated with the Company (hereinafter referred to as an "Affiliated Company") makes a payment of a portion of the tour price (application fee) or other amounts without the customer's signature. However, the Company may not accept such applications if it does not have a merchant agreement with the Affiliated Company that includes an unsigned transaction clause, or due to operational reasons, etc. The following clauses apply to Communication Contracts.

When applying for a Communication Contract, the customer must provide the Company with the name of the package tour they wish to apply for, the departure date, etc., as well as the card name, member number, card expiration date, etc.

The "card usage date" for a Communication Contract shall be the date on which the customer and the Company are to fulfill their payment or refund obligations for the tour price, etc., based on the package tour contract. In the former case, it is the contract conclusion date, and in the latter case, it is the date on which the Company notifies the customer of the amount to be refunded.

If the customer's credit card cannot be processed by the card company, the Company will decline the application.


 

6. Refusal to Conclude a Contract

 

The Company may not conclude a package tour contract in the following cases:

  • When there are operational reasons of the Company.

  • When attempting to conclude a communication contract, and the customer's credit card is invalid, making it impossible to settle part or all of the liabilities related to the travel price in accordance with the cardholder agreement of the affiliated company.

  • If the customer engages in violent demands, unreasonable demands, threatening behavior or violence related to transactions, or similar acts towards the Company, participation may be refused.

  • If the customer spreads rumors, uses fraudulent means, or threatens to damage the Company's reputation or obstruct its business, or similar acts, participation may be refused.


 

7. Time of Contract Formation

 

The travel contract is formed when the Company dispatches notification of acceptance of the customer's application by phone or mail, or when the notification reaches the customer if sent by email or fax.

The Company will receive payment of the tour price using the customer's credit card without the customer's signature on the prescribed slip. In this case, the card usage date will be the date on which the customer and the Company are to fulfill their payment or refund obligations based on the travel contract. In the former case, it is the contract formation date, and in the latter case, it is the date on which the Company notifies the customer of the amount to be refunded.


 

8. Issuance of Contract Document and Final Itinerary

 

Promptly after the conclusion of the travel contract, the Company will provide the customer with a contract document detailing the travel itinerary, the content of the travel services, other travel conditions, and matters concerning the Company's responsibilities. The contract document consists of the website, these travel terms and conditions, and the travel brochure.

As a supplementary document to the contract document mentioned in section 1 of this article, the Company will provide the customer with a final itinerary document containing confirmed information regarding meeting times and locations, transportation providers, accommodation facilities, etc., no later than the day before the start of the tour. However, if the application is made 7 days or less prior to the start of the tour, counting backward from the day before the start of the tour, it may be provided on the day of the tour's start.

The final itinerary will be sent by email, fax, or mail by the day before the start of the tour. However, during busy seasons, it may be sent just before departure due to airline circumstances (e.g., flight number adjustments).

In the case of the preceding paragraph, if a customer who wishes to confirm the arrangement status makes an inquiry, the Company will respond promptly and appropriately, even before the issuance of the final itinerary.

When a final itinerary is issued, the scope of travel services for which the Company is responsible for arrangement and itinerary management is specified therein.


 

9. Changes to Contract Details

 

If a customer requests a change to the contract details, the Company will comply with the customer's request as much as possible. In this case, the Company may change the tour price.

In the event of natural disasters, wars, riots, cessation of travel service provision by transportation/accommodation facilities, government orders, provision of transportation services not based on the original operation plan, or other circumstances beyond the Company's control, and when it is unavoidable to ensure the safe and smooth implementation of the tour, the Company may change the travel itinerary, the content of travel services, and other details of the package tour by promptly explaining to the customer in advance the reason why the circumstances are beyond its control and the causal relationship with such circumstances. However, in urgent cases where it is unavoidable, the explanation will be given after the change. After the conclusion of the travel contract, the Company will not change the amount of the tour price, additional charges, or discount charges, except in the following cases:

(1) If the fares and charges of the transportation providers used are significantly revised due to drastic changes in economic conditions, etc., exceeding what is normally expected, the tour price will be changed only by the revised difference. However, if the tour price is increased, the Company will notify the customer no later than 15 days prior to the day preceding the start of the tour.

(2) If a significant reduction in applicable fares and charges as stipulated in paragraph (1) of this article is made, the Company will reduce the tour price only by the reduced amount, as stipulated in paragraph (1) of this article.

(3) If the tour content is changed and the cost of implementing the tour decreases, the Company will reduce the tour price only by the difference in the change.

(4) If the tour content is changed and the cost of implementing the tour increases (including cancellation fees, penalties, and other expenses already paid or to be paid for travel services not received due to the change in contract content), the Company will change the tour price only by the difference in the change, except in cases where the change is due to a shortage of seats, rooms, or other facilities of transportation/accommodation providers despite the provision of services.

(5) If the Company has stated in the contract document that the tour price varies depending on the number of users of transportation/accommodation facilities, and the number of users changes after the conclusion of the travel contract due to reasons not attributable to the Company, the Company will change the tour price within the range stated in the contract document.


 

10. Substitution of Customers

 

Customers may, with the Company's consent, transfer their contractual status to another person. In this case, however, the customer must fill in the prescribed information and submit it to the Company. A prescribed fee will be charged for the substitution. (If the airline ticket has already been issued, a separate fee for reissuance may be charged.) The transfer of contractual status will take effect upon the Company's consent, and thereafter, the transferee of the contractual status will inherit all rights and obligations related to this travel contract. The Company may refuse a substitution if the transportation or accommodation providers do not accept the change of traveler, or for other reasons.


 

11. Cancellation of Travel Contract by Customer

 

  1. Customers may cancel the contract at any time by paying a cancellation fee to the Company. However, acceptance of cancellation requests is limited to the Company's business hours. (Faxes, emails, etc., received after business hours will be processed on the next business day).

If the Company suffers damage due to the customer's willful misconduct or negligence, the customer must compensate for such damage.

Customers must utilize the information provided by the Company and strive to understand their rights and obligations and other contract contents described in the contract document.

After the start of the tour, if the customer realizes that the provided travel services differ from the descriptions in the contract document, they must promptly notify the tour conductor, travel service provider, or the Company at the travel destination.


 

18. Tour Conductors, etc.

 

In principle, no tour conductor will accompany the tour. However, the Company may provide tour conductor services at the request of the contract representative. In this case, the tour conductor service fee and the tour conductor's transportation and accommodation expenses necessary for accompanying the group will be included in the tour price.

The content of tour conductor services will, in principle, be the duties necessary for group activities on the travel itinerary. The tour conductor's working hours will, in principle, be from 8:00 to 20:00.

If you wish to stop the provision of this personal data to souvenir shops, please notify our inquiry desk below before your departure.


 

21. Overseas Travel Risk Information

 

Depending on the destination, information regarding travel to countries/regions, such as "Overseas Travel Risk Information" from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, may be issued. A document regarding overseas travel risk information will be provided at the time of application. Please also check the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs Overseas Safety Website: http://www.anzen.mofa.go.jp/". Please note that risk information may be issued for the relevant country/region between the conclusion of the contract and your departure. We will do our best to inform customers of this, but in case we are unable to do so, please check the Overseas Safety Website yourself before your departure. Furthermore, we recommend registering for "Tabireg" (https://www.ezairyu.mofa.go.jp/tabireg/), a Ministry of Foreign Affairs system that allows you to receive the latest risk information and emergency contact emails for your destination by registering your itinerary, accommodation, and contact details.


 

22. Health Information

 

For health information regarding your travel destination, please refer to the "Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Quarantine Information Website: http://www.forth.go.jp/".


 

23. Regarding Overseas Travel Insurance

 

During your trip, if you fall ill or get injured, substantial medical and transfer expenses may be incurred. In case of an accident, claiming damages from the perpetrator and collecting compensation can be extremely difficult, and even if compensation is obtained from the perpetrator, it may not always be sufficient. To cover these medical expenses, transfer expenses, or death/disability, we recommend that customers obtain sufficient overseas travel insurance themselves. Furthermore, if you cancel a package tour due to your own circumstances, a cancellation fee may be incurred depending on the timing of the cancellation. Depending on the reasons for the travel contract, insurance (special clauses) may apply, so we recommend that you subscribe to a travel cancellation cost guarantee special clause along with your application for this trip.


 

24. Cancellation Compensation Clause for BCP Plan Activation

 

SKYTREK members (excluding Private Jet BCP Plan members) may have their booked travel canceled without prior notice if the SKYTREK product "Private Jet BCP Plan" is deemed an "emergency" under the following conditions.

An "emergency" refers to the occurrence of any of the following events in the Kanto region (one metropolis and six prefectures):

① An earthquake with a seismic intensity of 6 Lower or higher (according to the Japan Meteorological Agency's announcement) ② A declaration of a state of emergency or a disaster emergency by the Prime Minister
