12. ONCE A PURCHASE REQUEST IS CONFIRMED, CAN I CHANGE OR CANCEL IT? IF I DO, DO I HAVE ASSOCIATED COSTS ?: If you request a change or cancellation outside the deadlines and procedures explained in the previous point, and the specific regulation of the rate selected by you so allows, DIP will carry out the procedures of presentation and monitoring of your request, but the final decision will be the Tourist Service Provider. The way of proceeding and the special conditions that govern in case of changes or cancellations in a reservation confirmed by you are determined by the Suppliers of the Tourist Services, who may establish applicable fines or penalties for the requested changes. These conditions are available for consultation on our Platform. Review them before booking and remember that there are Tourist Services that, at the Providers’ disposal, do not admit changes and / or refunds, or allow them with restrictions and / or penalties, – even in cases of illness, strike, weather phenomena, etc. .-. Remember that each Provider defines its penalties without DIP intervention or interference

When you request a change, you are canceling a confirmed reservation and requesting a new one that will be governed by the particular conditions applicable at the time you make the change, for which, in addition to the applicable penalties, there may be a difference in rate consisting of the value resulting from the difference between the originally paid rate and the new rate according to rate availability at the time of making the change (the “Rate Difference”). Remember that tourist rates are dynamic and depend on variables such as anticipation of purchase, travel dates, seasonal promotions, and, in the case of flights, also on rate restrictions (the more restrictions, the lower the price).
    2. In the case of returns approved by the Provider, these may be made by means of a credit or a reversal of charge to the same card with which the reservation was made, with the prior authorization of the credit cardholder. If the payment was made in cash and/or bank transfer, DIP will require your bank details to make a refund by bank transfer. The terms of reimbursement and / or reversal of charges will depend on each Provider (in the case of airlines, they are usually estimated at between 30 and 120 days).
    3. It should be clarified that the Suppliers are not obliged to exempt the passenger from the conditions of the contract, even in proven cases of illness or physical disability that prevents them from traveling; in other words, if the fee paid provides for the penalty to make modifications/returns or does not allow changes and/or refund, the Supplier may collect these charges or deny the refund of the cost of the reservation.
    4. The Management Fee charged by DIP is non-refundable. In case of cancellation of confirmed reservations for any reason, said Management Fee will not be reimbursed since it corresponds to a service effectively provided by DIP Also, in the event that You request the change or cancellation of a Tourist Service, DIP may charge a Charge of Additional management.

CHAPTER 1 – FLIGHTS

Air transport is regulated by the Aeronautical Regulations and, in turn, each airline (the “Air Company”) establishes its own rate regulations for the commercialization of air tickets (the “Air Ticket / s”) .

1. FLIGHT RESERVATIONS, RATES: DIP is an agency accredited by IATA, and is authorized to commercialize Air Tickets on behalf of the IATA member Air Companies and in compliance with their rate manuals, transportation conditions, and written instructions. When you enter a Purchase Request on the Platform and it is confirmed by issuing an e-ticket, a record (Electronic Ticket Record or ETR) is generated automatically in the Airline system with the data entered by you on the Platform. Each Airfare is regulated by a series of conditions and restrictions determined by each Airline for each particular fare. According to the amount of the fee, certain limitations are imposed on the use of the Air Ticket, for example non-refundable, non-transferable, restrictions on route changes, the imposition of minimum and maximum stays, restrictions on the refund of the amount paid, etc. The cheapest rates have the most restrictions. Keep in mind that DIP is not authorized to vary or modify in any case the regulations of Air Tickets.
2. FLIGHT INFORMATION: All the information displayed on the Platform regarding the Air Tickets offered (itineraries, rates, etc.) is provided and updated online and in real-time directly by each Airline through a global reservation system (Global Distribution System or GDS). The Airline Companies, through the GDSs, are exclusively responsible for updating the rates, availability, and other data that appear on the Platform. For this reason, in the period between the entry of the Purchase Request and the confirmation of payment or issuance of the Airfare, the rates established by the Airline may vary according to availability. The final prices will be fixed from the moment of the final confirmation of the reservation that occurs with the issuance of the electronic ticket / s and its invoicing. DIP does not set airfares nor has control over their availability.
3. PAYMENT METHODS: If you pay by credit card, both the rate and the taxes and fees are charged directly with the airline’s own commercial code without these values ​​entering DIP. If you pay by deposit or bank transfer, DIP endorses to the Airline the amounts corresponding to the rates. In all cases, DIP only receives the value corresponding to the Management Fee.
4.
