The service provider shall be obliged to provide assistance within a reasonable time. Should such assistance prove impossible or inadequate, the client shall be required to obtain from the service provider in question written confirmation of the harm or damage suffered and the lack of inadequacy of the assistance provided. The service provider in question shall be obliged to furnish such confirmation, but shall not be authorized to approve any such demands for damage or compensation.

Liability

• STB shall reimburse the client for the value of contracted but not provided or poorly provided services or for any additional expenditure incurred, only if it was not possible for the service provider to supply a comparable substitute service on the spot.

International agreements

• In the event of international agreements restricting liability for inadequate or non-fulfilment of contracts, STB reserves the right to apply the conditions of such agreements. Such international agreements exist predominantly in the field of transportation.

Liability exclusions

STB shall not be liable to the client if non-fulfilment of the contract can be traced to the following causes:

1. Negligence on the part of the client before or during the tour
2. Unforeseeable or unavoidable negligence by any third party who is not a party to the contracted provision of services.

Amounts of any such liability shall be subject to lower limits specified by international agreements.
