However, when the change takes place 60 days or less before the date of departure of the trip for which the Traveler is enrolled, or if the service providers do not accept the change, the Traveler shall be subject to the expenses and charges set forth in the "Withdrawals" clause.
After the trip has begun, if a change in the contracted services is requested for reasons not attributable to the agency (e.g. extension of the nights stay, change of flight) the prices of the tourist services may not correspond to those published in the brochure that motivated the contracting.
After issuing the flight tickets, any changes or cancellations will be subject to the fare conditions of the ticket purchased, and extra fees may be charged for a new ticket.
The Customer registered for a trip may not change his registration for another trip or for the same trip departing on a different date without the express consent of Fujir. If it is possible to make such a change, it may be subject to expenses and charges under the heading "Withdrawals".
Once flight tickets have been issued, any changes or cancellations will be subject to the fare conditions of the ticket purchased, and extra charges may apply for a new ticket.
The Client may give up their booking and be replaced by another person who fulfils all the conditions required for the trip, provided that the Client informs the Agency at least 60 days before the departure date and that the various providers of the trip services accept the substitution, failing which the client will be deemed to have given up the trip. If the customer wishes to transfer their registration to a person of a different gender, the Client may be subject to payment of the individual accommodation supplement for the trip or a cost of the same nature if this is not foreseen for the trip for which he or she has registered, in the event that it is not possible to group the new participant with another person of the same gender.

Amounts that may be additionally charged by the transport companies (namely airline companies) due to name change will be charged to the customer. They are also subject to the company's consent to this effect.
Whenever there are unrelated reasons, the Agency may change the order of the routes, change the departure times or replace any of the accommodation or transport planned by others of similar category and location.
If, before the start of the planned trip:
The Traveler may, within 24 hours:
The absence of a response from the Traveler within the period set by the travel and tourism agency will imply the tacit acceptance of the proposed change.
If unforeseen circumstances force the suspension of any trip, the Client will always have the right to a refund of the amounts paid.
If, for reasons not attributable to the Agency, it becomes impossible to comply with any essential service included in the travel program, the customer is entitled to cancel the trip and receive a full refund of payments made or, alternatively, accept a change and possible price variation.
If due to unavoidable and exceptional circumstances, not attributable to the Agency, the cancellation of the trip is determined, the Customer may still choose to participate in another package of equivalent price, which has available places. If the proposed substitute package is of a lower price, the Customer will be refunded the difference.
The travel program will fix the minimum number of participants on a case-by-case basis.
The Agency reserves the right to cancel the package if the number of participants reached is less than the minimum, and will inform the customer in writing of the cancellation at least 15 days before the departure date
The Traveler is entitled to a full refund of payments, there is no right to compensation, and the Agency is exonerated from any liability for the cancellation.
Whenever, before the start of the package, (i) the travel and tourism agency is obliged to significantly change any of the main characteristics of the travel services, or (ii) is unable to meet the special requirements requested by the Traveler, or (iii) proposes to increase the price of the package by more than 8%, the Traveler may within 7 days:
The absence of a response from the traveler within the period fixed by the travel and tourism agency will imply tacit acceptance of the proposed change.
If the Client or any of their party cancel the trip up to 60 days before the start date of the travel program, they will lose 40% of the value of the program, which was delivered by the client to the Agency as a non-refundable deposit, plus the value of the airline tickets.
If such a withdrawal occurs 60 days or less before the program start date, the total value of the program will be lost. The Client will also forfeit the value of additional services which have been requested by them and which have non-recoverable charges.
Once the trip has begun, no refund is due for services not used by the Client. Failure to provide services foreseen in the travel program for reasons not attributable to the Agency and if it is not possible to replace them with equivalent ones, shall entitle the Client to be reimbursed for the difference between the price of the services foreseen and those actually provided.
The prices in the program are based on the costs of services and exchange rates in effect on the date of programming, so they may be subject to changes resulting from variations in the cost of transport or fuel, duties, taxes, fees and exchange rate fluctuations.
Whenever there is a change in the price of the trip, the Client will be immediately informed and invited, within a period of time set for them to accept the increase or cancel the registration under the same terms and conditions as those set forth under 'Unable to Comply'.

The Client must acquire travel insurance, which may or may not be purchased from Fujir. The insurance must be adjusted to the duration of the trip, destination, and type of activities. By not subscribing to travel insurance or purchasing inadequate travel insurance, the Customer automatically exempts Fujir and all its service providers from any and all liability relating to the risks and consequent costs that the Customer incurs by not having taken the recommended protection.
When the Client purchases travel insurance from Fujir, this insurance, in the clause relating to Early Cancellation of the Trip and Interruption of the Trip, the refund that may be made by the insurance company applies only to the services purchased from Fujir. Services purchased from third parties are excluded.
