office in Baška by email info@lpdtours.hr or by phone ++ 385 51 856 460.
Afterwards the agency sends the regional representative on the spot, while the
guest is required to wait for him/her in the accommodation in question.
Furthermore, the guest is required to cooperate with the agency's
representatives and the service provider in good faith in order to rectify the
problem. If the guest refuses to accept the solution that is in accordance with
services paid for, the agency is not required to accept any further complaints
referring to this service (if there is an appropriate alternative in the same
accommodation building, the guest is required to accept it). The agency does
not accept claims related to elements that are not part of the accommodation
(construction work on roads, state of the beach and buildings in the immediate
vicinity,...).
· If the problem is not rectified even after on the spot intervention by an
representative, the representative will put down in writing a record of the
complaint in two copies, one for the agency and the other for the guest. In
such cases, the guest is required to send a written complaint along with the
representative's record, other relevant documents and photographs that prove
reasons for the complaint to the agency by email at info@lpdtours.hr or by mail
at L.P.D. TOURS d.o.o. travel agency, Frankopanska bb, HR-51523 Baška, within 8
days upon returning from holiday. As an organizer of the travel the agency will
take into consideration only properly filed complaints received within 8 days.

right to be refunded.

days upon receipt of the complaint. Should the agency need more time to collect
information and verify the complaint with the host, it can prolong the response
time by a maximum of 14 days. The agency is obliged to inform the guest -
reservation holder about it in the written form. The agency will take into
consideration only those complaints that could not be solved on the spot.
· Until the agency presents its solution, the guest refrains from mediation by
any other party, arbitration by the Association of Croatian Travel Agencies, or
from taking the matter to court, and from informing the press.
The maximum compensation per complaint can amount to the cost of the part of
the service(s) in the complaint. It cannot amount to the total paid to the
agency and cannot include services already provided. With this the guest's
right to an ideal compensation of damages has been excluded.
The agency is not responsible for the weather conditions, the cleanliness and
temperature of the sea of destinations visited as well as all other similar
situations and events not directly related to the quality of the reserved
accommodation unit that can result in the dissatisfaction of the guest.
If the guest confirms a last minute reservation (booking without the payment of
the advance) or the reservation by the "fortuna" system (the hotel or
the lower category is booked and a higher category hotel is used if it is
available), than the passenger accepts all the risks of this type of the
journey. These journeys include the facts that cannot be influenced by the
travel organizer, and the passenger primarily accepts this type of the journey
for the affordable price and therefore has no right of complaint to the travel
organizer.
