Applicability.
1. These terms and conditions for services (these “Terms”) are the only terms that govern the provision of services by на Tuscany Wine Tours exclusive holder INSPIRITALY srl to you, our customer.
2. The accompanying email order confirmation (the “Booking Confirmation”) and these Terms (collectively, this “Agreement”) comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Booking Confirmation, the Terms shall govern, unless the Booking Confirmation expressly states that these Terms shall not control.
3. These Terms prevail over any of customer’s general terms and conditions regardless of when customer has submitted their request for proposal, order, or such terms.

5. By accessing and using Service Provider’s website and/or by completing a reservation form, you, the customer, acknowledge and agree to have read, understood and agreed to the Terms and Conditions set forth herein.
Services.
1. Service Provider themselves or through an independent service supplier (“Supplier”) shall provide Services Providing to customer as described in the Booking Confirmation, in accordance with these Terms.
2. Automotive transportation Service for Private Tours.
  1. Vehicle selection. Service Provider shall allow customers to choose from different vehicle classes as set forth on the Service Provider’s website. The vehicle images shown on the website are only illustrative examples, and customers are not guaranteed any particular vehicle model for the booked vehicle category.
  2. Luggage. The price given in the Booking Confirmation allows for an adequate number of pieces of luggage. The maximum number of pieces of luggage specified for a particular vehicle may vary based on the size and weight of passengers and luggage. It is further within the discretion of the Service Provider or their Supplier to determine if the volume or weight of the luggage is excessive. Excess luggage, bulky luggage, or the transportation of animals not requested at the time of booking of services may result in additional charges and or the refusal of Service Provider or their Supplier to transport all or part of the luggage or animals. All transported property and luggage remains at all times the responsibility of the customer. Service Provider or their Supplier accept no responsibility or liability for any loss or damage, no matter how caused, to customer property or luggage or for any loss or damage to the property of any other passengers.
  3. Passengers. The maximum number of passengers specified by Service Provider for a particular vehicle may vary based on the size and weight of passengers and their luggage, and is therefore not binding on Service Provider or their Supplier(s). Service Provider or their Supplier(s) can refuse the transportation of passengers or luggage if it is believed such transportation will compromise the space and safety conditions.
  4. Transportation of children. Service Provider agrees to furnish car/booster seats for children, provided that the customer requests this service as an additional comment by specifying the age and weight of each baby or child to be transported. Service Provider or their Supplier reserve the right to refuse carriage if the request for a car/booster seat was not communicated by the customer as an additional comment at the time of booking. In such a case, the customer shall still be liable for the full cost of the transportation arranged by Service Provider.
  5. Transportation generally. The Service Provider’s or their Suppliers’ chauffeurs will use their own judgement to drive at reasonable speeds in relation to the law, prevailing road type and conditions and should not be asked to exceed the speed limit under any circumstances. Unless Service Provider has agreed in writing that Service Provider or their Supplier shall use a particular route, Service Provider or their Supplier have full discretion to select the most appropriate route regardless of whether it is the shortest or fastest route.
Terms of payment and transaction fees.
1. Unless there exists a written agreement between customer and Service Provider providing otherwise, the customer must pay in advance for all services by credit, debit card, bank-wire transfer or money order, in accordance with the booking confirmation.
2. Charges for Service Provider’s Service Providing will appear on the customer credit or debit card statement under the name “INSPIRITALY.”
3. In the event Service Provider bills a customer for past or future Service Providing by sending the customer an invoice, the customer shall pay the amount specified on the invoice by the date provided on the invoice. Service Provider reserves the right to charge the customer interest accruing at a rate of 10% on a yearly basis for late payments. The customer may not deduct any sums owed to him from the amount specified on the invoice or otherwise owing to Service Provider unless authorized in writing by Service Provider.
Refunds on unused parts of Services.

If it appears to Service Provider or their Supplier that any passenger is engaged in unacceptable (for example, rowdy, raucous, drunken or lewd) behavior, then Service Provider, their Supplier or the Chauffeur may refuse entry to the vehicle for that passenger, terminate the agreement for that booking and or cease the transportation and require that passenger to leave the vehicle. In such circumstances, the customer will still be liable to Service Provider for the full price of the booking, and neither Service Provider nor their Supplier will be responsible or liable for any losses or costs to the customer or any passenger as a result of incomplete performance of the tour. Customer accepts responsibility and will indemnify Service Provider or their Supplier for any internal or external damage to or loss of the vehicle or any Service Provider or their Supplier property caused or incited to be caused by the customer or another passenger. The customer will be liable for cleaning and valet costs for the Service Provider or their Supplier vehicle if any passenger causes any spillage or suffers from illness or in any other way causes the cleanliness of the vehicle to be of a lower standard than it was prior to the customer entry into the vehicle. The standard “Soiling Fee” is 100 euro; however, Service Provider and their Supplier reserve the right to charge additional amounts for any downtime caused by vehicle(s) being taken off the fleet for cleaning. Smoking is prohibited in all our vehicles. If a customer or another passenger violates the no-smoking policy, they will be liable to pay not only the cost for the cleaning of the vehicle but also for the loss of any business that results from the related downtime of the vehicle.
