REFUND POLICY
In case, if the client/ clients or the tour or any part of the tour thereof cannot be performed due to Force Majeure, Holiday Tram (a unit of SHAVIK Hospitality Services) shall not be accountable
to give any refund to the client. Nevertheless, at its sole discretion, Holiday Tram provides the refund based on several factors like the number of pax, and the cancellation codes of suppliers
like airlines, coach operators, hoteliers, etc. Moreover, the verdict/ decision of Holiday Tram on the quantum of refund shall be the final.
In the case that the client/ clients do not or cannot avail any of the services like rides, meals,
cruises, hotels, sightseeing, entrance fees, optional tours, etc., due to any reason whatsoever,
then Holiday Tram is not liable for any refund.
Refunds (if any) for cancellation and/or amendments will be remunerated directly to the client for
booking made directly with Holiday Tram by way of UPI / IMPS / NEFT / RTGS / Crossed
cheque or by credit card it will be reversed to the client's credit card account at the discretion of
the company.
It has to be taken into notice that it would take at least a minimum of 15 to 45 days to
process the refund (if due).
For any service or tour booked in advance and canceled as per booking policy, the refund will
be made in the same mode of payment after deducting cancellation charges and actual bank
charges if any for the refund.
Clients have the option to keep their refund money in Holiday Tram's account and collect a
credit certificate and consume the same within 24 months of the cancellation date.
Protocols for commencing the travel/ tour:
1) It is the responsibility of the client to strictly follow the tour program bought through Holiday
Tram. It shall be noted that there won't be any refund if the client fails to commence the tour on
the said date or fails to join the group at the commencement of the tour, joins the group later, or
leaves the group or tour before it ends due to any reason or whatsoever.
2) It shall be noted that Holiday Tram will charge a 100% cancellation and no claim shall be
entertained for refund of any unutilized services in the case where a client along with his/ her
family is compelled to discontinue the travel/ tour in the mid, due to any reason whatsoever
including death, illness, or loss of any travel documents. Also, in the case, if a client is not able
to reach the place/ venue of commencement of the travel due to any reason whatsoever
including loss of baggage or other, his/ her booking shall be considered as a "no show" on the
tour and 100% cancellation charges will be levied on the client/traveler.
3) In case a client/clients avail pre-tour services or part thereof, or air tickets (in case the
departure city of commencing the tour is different) but fail to catch up or join the tour or group for
the main tour at the pre-defined or appointed venue or place, or cancel the trip after using the
pre-tour arrangements, air tickets or part thereof, it shall be treated as "no show" and Holiday
Tram is not liable for any refund to the client for the unutilized pre-tour or main tour services.
4) It shall be noted that Holiday Tram reserves the right to withdraw the tour membership/ cancel
the tour services of any client or clients whose behavior is deemed likely to affect the smooth

company shall be under no liability to any such person(s).
5) It shall be noted that the client/ clients can ask to amend the package itinerary one week
before the travel date. After that, no changes will be entertained by the company. If the client
wants to make changes in the itinerary a few days before the travel or while being on-ground,
then the changes asked for will be solely dependent on the availability of the aforesaid
requirement(s). Nevertheless, if the client/ clients wish to avail a particular service like hotel
change, any activity (not included in the package), any sightseeing tour (not included in the
package), or other services which were not included at the time of booking or the service or
sightseeing tour that was inquired before but not included at the time of booking, then he/ she

the spot. Holiday Tram won't be held responsible for any change in the amount of the said
service if enquired earlier by the client for the same from any of the representatives of the
