1. Role of VAS HOLIDAYS

VAS HOLIDAYS acts primarily as an intermediary between the and third-party service providers (e.g., airlines, hotels, car rental companies, etc.), except in cases where it directly organizes Charters or Group Tours.

For bookings involving individual travel elements (e.g., flights, hotels, rental cars) or packages created and delivered by third-party providers, VAS HOLIDAYS serve solely as a mediator. In these cases, VAS HOLIDAYS is not a contractual party to the service agreement between the Customer and the service provider. Consequently, VAS HOLIDAYS is not liable for the performance, delivery, or quality of services provided by third-party suppliers.

Customers are advised to carefully review the terms and conditions of each third-party provider applicable to their specific bookings, including cancellation, refund, and change policies.

2. Confirmation and Travel Documents

2.1 Impossible Bookings

VAS HOLIDAYS’ system does not automatically prevent bookings that may conflict, such as two flights to the same destination at overlapping times or a flight and activity tickets in different locations for the same timeframe. If such bookings are made, refunds will not be provided, and the booking will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the respective suppliers.

2.2 Customer Responsibility for Legal and Travel Requirements

It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to:

• Ensure compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations, including visa, passport, and health requirements (e.g., vaccinations, medical documents).
• Verify any additional requirements for travel, such as infant/child/booster seats or special permits.

VAS HOLIDAYS and its suppliers are not responsible for providing guidance on such requirements or guaranteeing the Customer’s ability to meet them. Failure to comply may result in the service being denied without the right to a refund.

2.3 Electronic Confirmation

Confirmation of reservations is provided electronically. In cases where vouchers or other travel documents cannot be immediately issued due to technical updates or supplier requirements, they will be sent to the Customer via email or other appropriate means.

• Customer Obligation: If the Customer does not receive travel documents after completing a reservation, they must notify VAS HOLIDAYS immediately. Failure to do so may result in penalties, inability to use the booked service, or cancellation, for which VAS HOLIDAYS assumes no liability.

2.4 Visas and Entry Requirements

Customers are responsible for contacting the relevant embassies or authorities to obtain accurate and up-to-date information on visa, passport, and entry requirements for their destinations. Failure to secure the required documentation is not the responsibility of VAS HOLIDAYS, and no compensation will be provided in such cases.

3. Data Protection Under Albanian Law

VAS HOLIDAYS ensure the protection of personal data in full compliance with the provisions of Law No. 9887, dated 10 March 2008, “On the Protection of Personal Data,” as amended. In accordance with Article 27 of the law, VAS HOLIDAYS implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, unauthorized access, or other forms of unlawful processing. Users bear the responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of their login credentials, including email addresses and passwords. Any failure to secure these credentials that results in unauthorized access is not the liability of VAS HOLIDAYS.

While VAS HOLIDAYS make all reasonable efforts to ensure the security of its website and systems, it cannot guarantee that the website is free from viruses or other harmful components. Users are strongly advised to take personal precautions, such as installing antivirus software and securing their internet connections, to mitigate such risks.

Personal data collected through our services is processed only for legitimate, specific, and explicitly stated purposes, as required by Article 6 of the law, and only with the prior consent of the user. VAS HOLIDAYS guarantee that personal data will be processed confidentially and used strictly for the purposes for which it was collected, as mandated by Article 28.

By utilizing our services, users confirm their understanding of an agreement with these terms, including their obligation to ensure compliance with all applicable data protection requirements. For further information, users may refer to Law No. 9887 or contact the Office of the Commissioner for the Right to Information and Data Protection in Albania.

• Deposit Option: Alternatively, users may choose to receive refunds as a Deposit in their VAS HOLIDAYS account, which can be used for future bookings.
