a. The organizer, in the full faculties attributed to him by law, is responsible for the exact execution of all the tourist services included in the contract and is obliged to provide assistance if the traveler finds himself in difficulty.

b. The organizer is responsible for any incorrect execution of the package and for the sudden impossibility during the execution of the package, regardless of the fact that these tourist services must be provided by the organizer himself, by his collaborators when they act in the exercise of their functions, by third parties hired by the organizer.

c. The traveler will inform the organizer promptly of any lack of conformity detected during the execution of a tourist service included in the travel package contract.

d. If one of the tourist services is not carried out as agreed on in the travel package contract, the organizer must find a remedy to the lack of conformity.

e. Without prejudice to the exceptions referred to in point d, if the organizer does not find a remedy for the non-compliance within a reasonable time set by the traveler in relation to the duration and characteristics of the package, and provided by the instructions in point c, the traveler can personally fix the nonconformity and claim a reimbursement of expenses as long as they are necessary, reasonable and documented; if the organizer refuses to make up for the lack of conformity or if it is necessary to sort it out immediately, the traveler does not need to set a deadline.

f. If a lack of conformity constitutes a non-negligible breach of the tourist services included in a package and the organizer has not found a remedy within a reasonable time set by the traveler in relation to the duration and characteristics of the package, in line with the provisions of point c, the traveler can, without spending extra money, terminate the tourist package contract with immediate effect or, if necessary, request, in accordance with article 5, a reduction in the price, without prejudice to any damage compensation.

g. If, during contract performance, due to circumstances beyond the control of the organizer it is impossible to provide a substantial part of the tourist services agreed to in the contract of the travel package, the organizer offers with no additional charge to the traveler suitable alternative solutions of equivalent or higher quality than those included in the contract, so that the execution of the package can continue. If the proposed alternative solutions entail a lower quality package than specified in the tourist package contract, the organizer must grant the traveler an adequate price reduction.

h. The traveler can reject the alternative solutions proposed only if they are not comparable to what was agreed on in the travel contract package or if the granted price reduction is inadequate.

i.
