Yazores functions as a booking central for accommodation, rent-a-car and tourist animation services. The portal allows for the reservation of the aforementioned services and issues Vouchers automatically. The portal functions as an intermediary between the tourism companies and the clients, and allows the potential tourist to build a travel pack tailored to him, selecting with entire flexibility the services that he will require during his stay.

How to contact the Yazores Customer Support service?
• Via telephone – by calling +351 296 20 50 78 during office hours (09:00 – 18:00, Azores time, except for Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays);
• Via e-mail – bookings@yazores.com.
2. CONTRACTYazores functions as a booking central. From now on, the term "service supplier" will include, amongst others, the following type of entities: hotels, aparthotels, touristic housing, tourist animation organizers, airlines and rent-a-car companies.
A "reservation" or "booking" refers to the acquisition of products or services made through Yazores, which we have approved. The approval on the part of Yazores will be communicated through a Voucher, which will be sent to your e-mail address.
When making a reservation on Yazores, and when the service of your choice is available, the resulting contract will be between you and Yazores. In case you have any doubts before your trip, any and all questions related to the selected travel pack should be addressed to Yazores, but specific questions concerning the chosen services must be directed to the suppliers themselves.
Although we do our best in order to ensure the availability and accuracy of the services published on Yazores, some errors may occur in your reservation. Once we become aware of the existence of such flaws, we will do everything possible to inform you of the occurrence within 72 hours after the reservation has been made. We reserve the right to cancel your booking, without any prejudice to you or to Yazores. In case the service supplier cancels or modifies your reservation, you will have the possibility to choose another alternative offered by the supplier, or cancel your reservation. In case the service supplier doesn't manage to offer a viable alternative within 72 hours, we reserve the right to cancel your booking, without any type of compensation.
All the commissions, taxes and fares required by the government or any other authority, or even by the operator of the selected service, are to be paid for in full by the customer, even when they will have been requested after the issuing of your booking confirmation.
The organization of the trips available on www.Yazores.com is under the full responsibility of InovTravel, Portuguese Tour Operator registered with the Portugal Tourism Bureau no. 3877, with headquarters at Estrada de São Gonçalo 235, 9500-343, Fajã de Baixo, Ponta Delgada, managed by IdeaStation - Soluções Informáticas, Lda., registered st the Ponta Delgada Commercial Registry with the no. 509 829 333.
When a trip organized by Yazores is the subject of a dispute, these general conditions and the specific terms found in the customer's voucher represent the contract that binds the two parts.
2.1 CancellationFor post-paid reservations made via Yazores, the client has the possibility of cancelling his reservation, without any penalty, within 48 hours before the date on his reservation, unless the supplier indicates otherwise, or the rate chosen has specific conditions. Any and all cancellations made after that deadline will result in a penalty corresponding to a quantity established in the terms of the reservation. In case of a no-show or cancellation on the arrival day, the client will have to pay the entire cost of the reservation. The cancellation policy will be presented in the client's Voucher, including any special conditions imposed by the service suppliers, conditions that have priority over the general cancellation policy.
For pre-paid travel packages, there are specific cancellation policies that apply, and, as a rule, they are non refundable.
Each airline defines its own flights cancellation and alterations policy, meaning that there may exist non-refundable fares or penalties applicable in cases of cancellation or changes to the reservation. It is the customer's responsibility to ask Yazores for information on these conditions before making the reservation.
2.2 Reservations cancelled by YazoresYazores reserves the right to cancel an organized trip in case the number of participants is inferior to the minimum number required, when the trip depends on a certain number of participants. In these cases, the customer will be informed via e-mail of the cancellation within 8 days.
2.3 ChangesWhenever a customer that has booked a certain trip wishes to change his/her reservayion to another trip or the same one with a different date, or any other changes, and only when the product providers allow, the customer will have to pay an alterations fee. However, should the change take place 30 days or less before the date of the trip, or if the product providers do not accept the changes requested, the customer will be subjected to the fees included in the "Withdrawl" section.
If the changes are requested after the trip has begun, and for reasons unrelated to Yazores (e.g.: prolonging the stay, changing the flights), the prices of the services and products may not correspond to those published on www.Yazores.com.
Yazores and its suppliers can alter the order of the routes, modify the departure hours or replace the hotels with others of similar category and localization, whenever there are justifiable reasons, having to inform the customer of the alteration as soon as they are aware of it.
2.4 WithdrawlThe customer or his companions are free to withdraw from the trip or cancel it altogether at any time. However, they are responsible for paying all of the penalties stated in the reservation contract, and also a fee of up to 20% of the price of the trip.
Should it be the case, the customer will be refunded the difference between the amount paid and the fees and penalties mentioned above.
The reservation fees on www.Yazores.com are related to the processing of the reservations, and they vary according to the type of product, and they are not refunded in case the cancellation of the trip is due to the customer's request or is the customer's responsibility.
2.5 Hotels and accommodationThe prices indicated are per room, per period, and include all the applicable taxes. Our accommodation suppliers have guaranteed to offer Yazores customers their best prices. In case you wish to cancel or modify your accommodation reservation, the cancellation policy of the service supplier in question will be available in your Voucher.
To cancel your reservation, please contact the Yazores Customer Support Service, within the deadlines specified in your Voucher:
• Via telephone – by calling +351 296 20 50 78 during office hours (09:00 – 18:00, Azores time, except for Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays);
• Via e-mail – bookings@yazores.com.
Images - Although it is our objective to make sure that the images and the description of the accommodation facilities are accurate and up to date, we cannot guarantee that this is always the case, because the information available on the website is sent to us by the service suppliers. The images and information published have the objective of providing a general idea of the accommodation. Please take into account that the images of interiors can be different from the room in which you will be lodged. There can also be additional costs for extra beds and cots.
Any complaint related to your accommodation should be made directly to the service supplier, the sole responsible for ensuring the conditions specified in your Voucher. You should also inform Yazores of any complaint you make to the service providers.
2.6 Rent-a-carYazores provides real time rent-a-car services, through a system where the suppliers themselves introduce their available services. Our rent-a-car suppliers have guaranteed to offer Yazores customers their best prices.
In case you wish to modify or cancel your rent-a-car reservation, the cancellation policy of the service supplier in question will be available on your Voucher. To cancel your reservation, please contact the Yazores Customer Support Service, within the deadlines specified in your Voucher:
• Via telephone – by calling +351 296 20 50 78 during office hours (09:00 – 18:00, Azores time, except for Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays);
• Via e-mail – bookings@yazores.com.
Each rent-a-car company has its own specific Terms and Conditions, which will be explained in your Voucher. In case the cancellation policy of your supplier is different than the general cancellation policy of Yazores, the supplier's conditions have priority and the client must abide by their specifications.
All the drivers must have a valid driver's license and credit card in order to rent the cars. Please take into consideration the fact that there may still be additional costs, other than those presented in your Voucher (such as optional insurance, fares for additional drivers, etc.), and they should be paid at the time the car is handed over to the client.
Should you wish to extend your trip and opt for returning the car after the date specified on your Voucher, the rent-a-car company may charge you a different price for the extra days, a price that may be superior to the one available on Yazores.
3.VOUCHERSAny and all bookings made by the customer on Yazores will be specified in an electronic voucher sent via e-mail, immediately after the reservation is made. The Voucher contains all the information related to the booking (dates, duration, names and contact information for the suppliers of the selected services, as well as their specific Terms and Conditions). Please read all the information on your Voucher carefully. Before travelling, you must print out your Voucher and take it with you, in order to present it as a proof of your reservation.
Yazores uses only the information that the client makes available on the website and, as such, it cannot be held accountable if the client doesn't receive his Voucher because he supplied the wrong e-mail address, or if the Voucher is considered spam by the e-mail's security options. You will have to notify us immediately should you change your e-mail address or your contact phone number. The name that you will give for your Voucher must be the same as the name on your passport/I.D., in order to prove to the service supplier that you are indeed the owner of the reservation.
h3>3.1 LuggageIn case your luggage is damaged during the flight, the complaint will have to be made in writing directly to the airline, immediately after noticing the damage. The client has the obligation to complain to the airline the moment their bag is missing, deteriorated or destroyed.
h3>3.2 Departure and arrival timesThe departure and arrival times are indicated in the local time of the respective city and according to the schedules of the airlines on the date of their publication on www.Yazores.com, and as such they may be subject to alterations.
h3>3.3 InsuranceThe travel packages do not include travel insurance. Yazores offers the possibility to purchase insurance according to the type of trip and in order to cover the customers should they need assistance or in case of cancellations.
4. PAYMENTThe client won't make any payment on Yazores, except when a pre-paid package is acquired, including flight + hotel (+ other services available on the website). The service suppliers need your credit card data in order to guarantee your reservation. As such, Yazores sends your credit card information directly to the hotel/rent-a-car/tourist animation company whose services you booked, after verifying (that is, pre-authorizing) your credit card. In order to protect and code your credit card data when they are sent to us, we use the Secure SocketLayer (SSL) technology.
Please note that your card can be pre-authorized or charged (sometimes without any options for reimbursement) for certain fares or special offers, after the booking is made and confirmed. In the case of pre-paid packages including flight + hotel (+ other services available on the website), the total amount is charged from the credit card which you indicated, and the refund conditions are clearly specified in your voucher. Please verify carefully the description of the services before making your reservation.
In case of fraud or unauthorized use of your credit card by third parties, the majority of banks and credit card companies will assume the risk and cover all of the resulting expenses, a service which, sometimes, can be subject to the payment of a fare (usually €50 or the equivalent in your local currency). In case the bank or the credit card company covers the fare for unauthorized transactions resulting from a reservation made on our website, we will pay that fare, up to €50 (or the equivalent in your local currency). In order for us to pay the fare, you need to report the fraud to your credit card supplier (according to their rules and proceedings) and contact us immediately through the e-mail (customer.care@yazores.com). In the subject field, please write "credit card fraud" and send us the proof of the fare charged (ex: the insurance policy and/or receipt from your credit card company). We will only pay this fare in case the reservations made through the secure server of Yazores resulted in the unauthorized use of your credit card through our error or negligence, and you are not responsible in any way.
Yazores will never charge any amount on your credit card, unless in case of pre-paid travel packages, no-show or late cancellation, and only when the service supplier, due to certain limitations, will not be able to charge the resulting penalty fee himself, as stipulated in your reservation Voucher. The penalty will then be sent by us to the supplier of the service that was cancelled or for which the client did not show.
h3>4.1 RefundsOnce the trip starts, Yazores does not owe any refund for services that aren't used by the customer, for reasons unrelated to Yazores, and in case they cannot be substituted by other equivalents.
h3>4.2 Reservation FeesFor each pre-paid travel package reservation, certain reservation fees are charged, in accordance with the prices standing on www.Yazores.com, which are provided to the customer when solicited.
h3>4.3 Airport TaxesThe airport taxes are always included in the final price of the reservation, unless otherwise specified, in which case they must be paid locally by the passengers in the airports where they are demanded.
h3>4.4 VATThe final prices of the reservations already include the Value Added Tax at the standing legal rate.
5. PASSPORTS AND VISASThe Autonomous Region of the Azores is integrated in the Portuguese Republic, a member state of the European Union, and, as such, the citizens of the other European Union countries can enter the Portuguese territory without needing a visa or a passport, by presenting only their national identification document. The citizens of countries that aren't part of the European Union must check with their local authorities what are the specific requisites for travelling to Portugal. Taking into account that the visa process takes a significant amount of time, the clients that need a visa to enter Portuguese territory should resolve this situation in due time.
