Updated: Friday, 27 February 2025

1. The Contract

These terms and conditions constitute the sole agreement between Azerbaijan Tourism LLC (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) and the clients listed on the booking form, which must be signed by an authorized representative on behalf of the entire group (hereinafter referred to as “client” or “clients”). By booking a trip with us, you agree to these Booking Terms and Conditions, which form the entirety of the contract between you and the Company. Your booking is accepted based on these terms, and the services provided will be as outlined in your booking confirmation invoice.

2. Deposit Requirement

To confirm your booking, a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total booking value per person per trip is required. For bookings made within 50 days of the departure date, full payment is required at the time of booking. Please note that some tours may require different deposit amounts.

3. Acceptance of Booking and Final Payments

Upon accepting your booking, the Company will issue a confirmation invoice, and a contract will be established from that date. For bookings made within 15 days of departure, the contract is established upon receipt of payment. Please refer to your booking confirmation invoice for details on final payment deadlines. The remaining balance must be paid no later than 50 days before the departure date. Failure to make payment by the due date may result in the cancellation of your booking.

4. Prices and Surcharges

Our trip prices are subject to variable and seasonal pricing, which is standard within the travel industry. This means prices may fluctuate based on demand, market conditions, and availability. Pricing differences between passengers on the same trip are possible. To lock in a quoted price, the required deposit must be paid before the quote’s expiry date. Discounts or reduced prices introduced after your booking will not apply retroactively. Cancellation fees apply if you cancel your booking to take advantage of a lower price. Updated pricing is available on our website. A surcharge may apply to payments made via bank wire transfer.

5. Special Requests

Special requests, including dietary requirements, must be submitted in writing no later than 30 days before departure. While the Company will make every effort to accommodate these requests, we cannot guarantee fulfillment.

These details include, but are not limited to, your full name as it appears on your passport, date of birth, nationality, passport number, passport issue and expiry dates, and any pre-existing medical conditions that may affect your travel. Failure to provide this information may result in the cancellation of your trip, with applicable cancellation fees.

The Company reserves the right to cancel a trip up to 50 days before departure. A trip may also be canceled at any time if external factors such as terrorism, natural disasters, or political instability make it impossible to operate the itinerary. In such cases, you may choose to transfer to an alternative departure or receive a refund minus unrecoverable costs. The Company is not responsible for incidental expenses, including visas, vaccinations, travel insurance, or non-refundable flights.
