WHAT IS TRAVELSURE AND WHEN DOES IT APPLY?
TravelSure is a unique discretionary disruption support service which allows You to participate in Our customer assistance programme ("Customer Assistance Programme"). TravelSure applies if a Trip is cancelled or delayed for more than 3 hours by a transport carrier ("Travel Disruption").
TravelSure can be activated by contacting Our agents at the Dohop Service Centre, who will confirm whether TravelSure applies to Your situation. If so, You will be granted access to Our Customer Assistance Program under which You may seek assistance and advice from Our agents regarding possible provision of services provided by Us at Our absolute discretion. Thus, under the Customer Assistance Program, We will suggest an alternative transport option compatible with the missed Trip of the booking, or as we call it "Alternative Transport". Upon Your request, We also reserve the right to offer You other assistance at Our own discretion under which We will reimburse related extra expenses that have been pre-approved by Our agents ("Approved Expenses"). The Alternative Transport and additionally covered expenses, We offer You will depend on the cost, duration, flight class and ancillaries of the adversely affected Trip. Please get in touch with our agents who will confirm what We consider moderate related Approved Expenses. For Your information, this may include, but is not limited to: Accommodation cost for up to 100 EUR per person due to a necessary overnight stay; public ground transportation costs that We, in Our sole discretion, deem reasonable in case the Alternative Transport departs from a different airport or station or in relation to transport to/from an accommodation due to a necessary overnight stay; and expenses for food and beverages up to 15 EUR per person if a wait at the airport/station exceeds 4 hours.
If You and Our agents come to the mutual conclusion that finding Alternative Transport doesn't work for You, We may at our own discretion, be able to assist You in getting a reimbursement for the disrupted adversely affected Trip according to the original booking, even if the carriers don´t provide it.
We reserve the right to provide You, under Our sole and exclusive discretion, with more favourable terms and conditions of the TravelSure services or any other services provided under the contract concluded between Us and You, than those We stated under Our Terms. We may do so on an individual basis or within any time- and/or territory-limited campaign, but always without any prejudice to the future treatment of You or any other of Our customers, or without establishing the binding practice prevailing the rules set forth herein. At any time, We may cease to provide or modify such beneficial treatment under Our sole and exclusive discretion, nevertheless, without affecting the benefits already provided.

ACTIVATION
Always contact Dohop Service Centre before making any amendments to Your booking, regardless of whether You are experiencing a Travel Disruption or simply wish to change or update Your Trip or contact details. We need to be aware of any and all changes and updates to be able to assist You.

In case of a Travel Disruption, please follow these steps:
Contact Dohop Service Centre as soon as possible after finding out about the Travel Disruption to get Our agent’s assistance and advice in relation to Alternative Transports and, when applicable, Acceptable Expenses;

To arrange the Alternative Transport Our agents will either:
guide You through phone, text, email or chat on how, what and where to book and purchase the Alternative Transport option and ask You to initially cover the resulting additional cost. We reserve the right to offer You a fulfilment of the additional cost initially covered by You, at Our sole discretion, which Our agents will guide and assist You on how to pursue and receive. Please be aware that You may be asked to provide related receipts and support document in order to verify Your request; or
send Our suggested option to You through email or text message via plan3, Our third-party service provider. By responding to the email/text and choosing the relevant link of the suggested option You wish to book, You confirm and complete a Booking of the Alternative Transport without further action needed;
If You and Our agents come to the mutual conclusion that no Alternative Transport option works for You, We may at Our own discretion, be able to assist You in getting reimbursement for the disrupted Trip , even if the carriers do not provide it.
Please use the confirmation number provided in Our email sent to You at all times when contacting the Dohop Service Centre. It is Your responsibility to maintain contact with Dohop Service Centre and to respond to all communications either by email or phone when making use of the Customer Assistance Programme. We make at least two (2) attempts by telephone and/or email to reach You. If We are not able to reach You on the contact details provided to Us by You then We assume You have rejected Our suggested Alternative Transfer and decided to make Your own unapproved arrangements at Your own cost. We will not be liable for any cost resulting from the aforementioned. If You are unable to contact us, after making reasonable and evidenced attempts to do so, We will reimburse You in respect of the full amount of the disrupted Trip as stated in the booking.
All reimbursements provided as part of the services will be based on receipts and You undertake to make every effort to keep the claim as low as possible, avoiding any expenses of any non-essential or additional services or upgrades. We will use the payment method provided by You to issue the reimbursement. You represent and warrant that the payment information provided is accurate and You are authorised to use the payment instrument. We convert reimbursement amounts in foreign currency using the exchange rates on the day the correct records and payment information are received. The exchange rate applicable is the official exchange rate (mid-rate) recognised by the Icelandic Central Bank for the conversion of such foreign currency (rounded up or down by Us), as applicable on the date when We convert the currency, unless Your acquired the currency to pay the costs at a less favourable rate. We may deduct the following cost for Your reimbursement amount: i) the cost for the cross-border transfer of benefits; and ii) for particular transfer forms that the Customer requested. Incorrect payment information may result in Us being unable to issue the refund and/or affect the amount You receive, as the exchange currency rate on the day We receive the correct information will be used, not the currency rate on the day the incorrect information was received. Any and all additional cost in relation to the provision of incorrect payment information must be borne by You.

In the event that You do NOT receive any of the emails You should immediately contact Our agents via service@dohop.com or by phone at +44 1200 401410).
It is your responsibility to ensure that all necessary details provided to Us relating to Yourself (and as may be relevant all Travellers listed in the same booking) - including Your contact and payment details - are correct and complete, and that You have provided all information relevant to enable the completion of purchase and performance of Our Services requested. In the event that any of the details submitted by You should change in the interim, You must inform Us of this immediately.

You further represent that You have obtained all the necessary legal authorisation and consent from the other Travellers listed in the booking and/or a purchase has been made on behalf of, to act on their behalf, including but not limited to, accepting these Terms, and providing their personal data.

THE 14-DAY WITHDRAWAL PERIOD. If You are a consumer i.e., any natural person acting for purposes outside its trade, business, craft or profession, You have the right to withdraw from a contract within the period of 14 days of the conclusion of the contract without giving any reason according to directive 2011/83/EU. The right of withdrawal lapses after the service has been entirely performed, if the performance has begun with Your prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that You will lose Your right of withdrawal once the contract has been entirely performed by Us. Therefore, You have the right to withdraw from the contract formed between You and Us for the TravelSure services within the period of 14 calendar days (including bank holidays, weekends etc.) without giving any reason. The period will expire after 14 calendar days from the day of the conclusion of the TravelSure contract or when the TravelSure service has been entirely performed by Us, whichever happens first. LAPSE OF RIGHT: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT GIVEN THE CHARACTER AND NATURE OF THE TRAVELSURE SERVICES, THAT BEGINS WITH YOUR EXPRESS CONSENT IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU HIT THE “BOOK & PAY” BUTTON, NO RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL SHALL APPLY WITHIN 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED DEPARTURE OF THE TRIP, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE 14-DAY WITHDRAWAL PERIOD IS STILL ACTIVE.
-
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for You to send Your communication concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired. To exercise the right of withdrawal, You must inform the Dohop Service Centre of Your decision to withdraw from the TravelSure contract by an unequivocal written statement, e.g., by a letter sent by post, fax or email. A model withdrawal form can be found in Annex I to these Terms. If You withdraw from the TravelSure contract, We will refund You the amount of the TravelSure Fee, without undue delay and, in any event, no later than 14 days from the day of receiving the notification from You. We will use the same means of payment as used for the initial transaction for the payment of the TravelSure Fee. You will not incur any fees for the issue of a refund of the TravelSure Fee.
-
PAYMENT
It is Your responsibility to make sure the payment goes ahead on time i.e., that Your bank, debit card or credit card details provided are correct, and that sufficient funds are available on Your account. If Your payment fails, for a reason attributable to an action or omission on Your part (e.g., due to insufficient funds; Your payment was deemed fraudulent by a fraud detection service; finalising a booking reservation was not possible since some of the information You provided was invalid or missing) You will be in default and We will not be liable in any way and TravelSure is void.
We will either act as Merchant of Record ("MoR") for Our Services, or a Seller of Record ( "SoR"). When acting as a MoR, We organise the payment process part for Our Services and bear responsibility for managing Your payment and transaction for Our Services. In scenarios where We have outsourced the aforementioned responsibility of electronic payment acceptance to other service providers, We act as SoR for Our Services, and are therefore solely responsible for the delivery, fulfilment, and related liabilities of Our Services.
