Penalty Calculation Rules
If the amount of cancellation charges within the tariff exceeds the price of the booked service, the agency repays a penalty equal to the service price to a tour operator.

If the amount of cancellation charges within the tariff is less than the price of the booked service, the agency repays a penalty at the rate which is set within the tariff to a tour operator.

Example А

Assume that the tariff settings include a fixed penalty of EUR 100, and an agency books a room for EUR 50.

In this case if the service is canceled within the period of applied cancellation charges, the agency repay the tour operator a penalty which is equal to the payment for the room (EUR 50).
