7. Refund Policy

  • Refunds for valid cancellations will be processed within 15-30 business days after deducting any non-refundable supplier fees and bank charges.
  • No refunds will be given for unused services due to a client’s voluntary change, early departure, or failure to participate in any part of the itinerary.
  • Refunds are not provided for issues related to force majeure events.

8. Changes to Bookings

  • Any changes requested by the Partner after confirmation are subject to availability.
  • Administrative fees may apply for significant changes to the itinerary.
  • Price differences resulting from changes will be either invoiced or refunded accordingly.

9. Responsibility for Client Collection
The Partner is solely responsible for collecting all payments from the end client. Our financial relationship is exclusively with the Partner.

10. Complaints
Any complaints must be reported immediately to our local guide or office while the client is in Cambodia, allowing us the opportunity to resolve the issue promptly. Claims for refunds after the tour has concluded cannot be entertained.

11. Force Majeure
Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform obligations due to events beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to war, civil unrest, natural disasters, pandemics, or acts of government. In such cases, we will work with suppliers to secure refunds where possible, but cannot guarantee them.

12. Agreement
These terms and conditions, along with the confirmed itinerary and pro forma invoice, constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Partner.
