By accepting this Agreement, the Client represents and warrants that: (a) the Client has full legal capacity to be bound by the terms hereof; (b) the Client has read and understands the scope and obligations contained herein; and (c) the Client accepts this Agreement in its entirety. If the Client does not have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement or to bind the Client on whose behalf the Client is acting, the Client should not accept these terms.

Such electronic acceptance shall constitute the Client's manifestation of consent and shall have the same validity and legal effect as a handwritten signature, in accordance with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) as adopted by the State of Illinois. As evidence of such acceptance, Unik Travels shall store on its servers the date, time, IP address, device information, and other technical data of the session in which acceptance was made, which may be used as evidence of the execution of this Agreement.

1. PROVISION OF SERVICES

1.1 Scope.

Unik Travels shall provide the Client, directly or through its employees, agents, and/or subcontractors, the following services (the "Services"):

(a) Advisory, consulting, and design of personalized itineraries for travel and experiences;

(b) Intermediation and management of reservations with suppliers of the Components of the trip;

(c) Monitoring, verification, and coordination of the trip or experience; and

(d) Delivery of the corresponding travel documentation.

1.2 Agency Relationship.

As part of the Services, Unik Travels shall act exclusively as an intermediary and booking agent on behalf of the Client. The Client hereby appoints Unik Travels as its agent for the limited purpose of making reservations and processing payments to the corresponding suppliers with the funds advanced by the Client.

The Client acknowledges and accepts that Unik Travels acts exclusively as an intermediary between the Client and the final suppliers of the Components of the trip, including but not limited to airlines, hotels, tour operators, transportation companies, cruise lines, travel insurance providers, restaurants, and any other service providers. Unik Travels is not the direct provider of such services.

1.3 Planning Fee.

As compensation for the advisory, itinerary design, and coordination Services, the Client shall pay Unik Travels a per-person planning fee (the "Planning Fee"), the amount of which shall be determined by Unik Travels and specified in the Quotation. The Planning Fee shall be paid in two installments: the first half at the time of the initial trip payments, and the second half upon delivery of the travel documentation. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the Planning Fee is non-refundable in the event of cancellation of the trip by the Client, unless Unik Travels, at its sole discretion, determines otherwise.

1.4 Itinerary Design Fee.

Unik Travels may charge a fee for the preparation of the itinerary prior to the quotation stage, the amount of which shall be communicated to the Client before initiating such process. If applicable, the itinerary shall not be delivered to the Client until such fee has been paid in full.

1.5 Additional Compensation.

The Client acknowledges and accepts that, in addition to the Planning Fee, Unik Travels may earn revenue through commercial markups applied to the prices of the Components of the trip and/or commissions paid by suppliers to Unik Travels. Such compensation forms part of the business model of Unik Travels and does not create any obligation of disclosure or right of claim on the part of the Client.

1.6 Quotation.

Once the itinerary has been approved by the Client, Unik Travels shall prepare a detailed quotation of the Services and Components of the trip (the "Quotation"). The Quotation approved by the Client shall constitute an integral part of this Agreement. In the event that subsequent Quotations are issued as a result of added services, cancellations, modifications, or price changes by suppliers, the most recent version of the Quotation shall supersede all prior versions and shall govern the relationship between the parties.

1.7 Pricing, Availability, and Variations.

(a) Changes prior to Client payment. The Client acknowledges that the prices and availability of the Components of the trip are subject to change without prior notice by the suppliers. If a Component undergoes changes in price or availability before the Client has made the corresponding payment to Unik Travels, Unik Travels shall inform the Client. The Client may accept the new price or decline such Component without any payment obligation.

(b) Changes after Client payment and prior to supplier payment. In the event that the Client has made payment to Unik Travels and, prior to Unik Travels making payment to the supplier, the Component becomes unavailable, Unik Travels shall offer the Client an alternative. If the Client does not accept the offered alternative, the corresponding funds shall be returned to the Client in full. In the event of a price increase, the Client may cover the difference or, if the Client declines, the funds shall be returned in full. In the event of a price decrease after payment, the Client shall be offered the option of receiving a refund of the difference or maintaining such difference as a credit for future services with Unik Travels.

(c) Changes after supplier payment. Once Unik Travels has made payment to the supplier, any change in price, availability, terms, or conditions of the Component shall be governed exclusively by the terms and conditions of the corresponding supplier. Unik Travels shall have no liability whatsoever for such changes.

1.8 Cancellations and Refunds.

(a) Cancellations by the Client. In the event that the Client requests the cancellation of one or more Components of the trip, the eligibility and amount of any refund shall depend exclusively on the terms and conditions of the corresponding supplier. Unik Travels shall pass through to the Client only that which the supplier refunds or, as applicable, the credit issued by the supplier. The Client acknowledges that suppliers may apply cancellation penalties, and therefore the refunded amount or credit balance may be less than the amount originally paid by the Client.

(b) Supplier credits. When a supplier, instead of refunding funds, issues a credit, Unik Travels shall inform the Client of the amount and conditions of such credit as established by the supplier. The Client acknowledges and accepts that such credits are exclusive to the supplier that issued them, are subject to the terms and conditions of such supplier, and are not redeemable for cash, wire transfer, or travel services with Unik Travels or any of its Brands. Unik Travels shall have no obligation to substitute, compensate, or match such credits with other benefits.

(c) Credit card refund processing fee. When the Client has made payments to Unik Travels by credit card and a refund is applicable for any reason, Unik Travels may deduct three percent (3%) of the amount to be refunded for bank processing costs. This fee shall not apply in the circumstances described in Section 1.7(b) of this Agreement, in which case the funds shall be returned to the Client in full.

(d) Planning Fee. The Planning Fee is non-refundable in the event of cancellation of the trip by the Client, as set forth in Section 1.3 of this Agreement.

1.9 Payment Methods.

Payments may be made by: (a) wire transfer or direct deposit to the accounts of Unik Travels as indicated in the Quotation or as communicated by Unik Travels to the Client; or (b) direct payment to the supplier using the bank card details provided by the Client to Unik Travels for such purpose. In both cases, payments shall be made within the timeframes and in the manner set forth in the Quotation.

1.10 Payment Interruptions.

In the event that the Client interrupts or suspends payments, the Components that have not been paid in full shall not be provided and may be automatically canceled by Unik Travels. No refund shall be issued for payments already made, unless the terms and conditions of the suppliers provide for partial refunds, in which case Unik Travels shall pass through to the Client only that which the supplier refunds.

1.11 Credit Terms.

In specific cases and at the sole discretion of Unik Travels, the Client may be offered credit payment terms, which shall be negotiated and agreed upon independently between the parties. The mention of this possibility in this Agreement does not create any obligation on the part of Unik Travels to extend credit to the Client.

1.12 Invoicing.

Upon request by the Client, Unik Travels shall issue an invoice for the payments made by the Client for the Services, which shall comply with all applicable tax and legal requirements. Applicable taxes shall be included in the invoice as required by law.

1.13 Taxes.

The Client shall be responsible for any taxes applicable to the Client in connection with the Services and the Components of the trip. The Client shall pay Unik Travels the fees for the Services without any reduction for taxes.

2. PERSONAL DATA, BANK CARDS, AND PRIVACY

2.1 Collection of Personal Data.

For the provision of the Services, the Client shall provide Unik Travels with personal data, including a copy of a passport, government-issued identification (such as a driver's license, state ID, or other identification issued by a competent authority), whether current or expired, as well as any other data or document that Unik Travels may require. The delivery of such data and documents, together with the acceptance of this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, constitutes the Client's manifestation of consent for the execution of this Agreement.

2.2 Bank Card Data.

When the Client provides bank card data for Unik Travels to make direct payments to suppliers, Unik Travels shall adopt reasonable security and precautionary measures for the safeguarding of such information. Bank card data shall be automatically deleted once the corresponding trip or experience has concluded.

2.3 Cardholder Identity Verification.

When the Client provides bank card data for Unik Travels to make payments to suppliers, the name on the card must match the name of the Client and the name on the identification document with which the Client registered. In the event that the name does not match or the Client fails to provide the corresponding identification, Unik Travels shall not process any payment with such card and shall not be able to fulfill its duties as agent or adequately provide the Services, without any liability to Unik Travels.

2.4 Retention of Personal Data.

The Client's personal data, other than bank card data, shall be retained by Unik Travels for a period of up to five years following the conclusion of the trip or experience, unless the Client expressly requests in writing the destruction of their personal data, in which case Unik Travels shall proceed in accordance with applicable federal and state privacy laws, including the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

2.5 Use of Data for Marketing Purposes.

By accepting this Agreement, the Client authorizes Unik Travels to use their personal data for marketing, advertising, and commercial prospecting purposes, in accordance with the Privacy Policy of Unik Travels and applicable federal and state privacy laws. The Client may at any time opt out of marketing communications by notifying Unik Travels in writing or through the mechanisms established in the Privacy Policy published on the Website.

2.6 Client Representations.

The Client represents that: (a) the data and identification documents provided are truthful and belong to the Client; (b) the Client has all necessary authorizations to share such data; (c) the bank cards whose data are provided belong to the Client or the Client has the cardholder's authorization for their use; (d) the funds used to pay for the Services and the Components of the trip are from lawful sources; and (e) the Client understands and accepts the risks involved in the transmission of data of this nature.

3. TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS AND CLIENT DOCUMENTATION

3.1 Client Responsibility.

It is the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Client to comply with all entry, transit, and exit requirements of the countries included in the travel itinerary, including but not limited to:

In such cases, the Client shall not be entitled to any refund, compensation, or reimbursement from Unik Travels with respect to the affected Components of the trip. All additional expenses arising from the Client's failure to comply with such requirements shall be the Client's sole responsibility.

3.3 Assistance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unik Travels may, at the Client's request, assist the Client in managing the travel requirements mentioned above. Such assistance shall be provided as an additional service, the costs of which shall be borne entirely by the Client, and shall not in any case constitute an obligation or liability of Unik Travels or any of its Brands with respect to compliance with such requirements.

4. DELIVERY OF TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION

4.1 Travel Folder.

Once Unik Travels has completed the organization of the trip or experience and the Client has made all corresponding payments in full, Unik Travels shall deliver to the Client a folder, in either digital or printed format, containing the organized itinerary, as well as the details and documentation of all reservations, flights, accommodations, activities, and other Components of the trip or experience (the "Travel Folder"). The Travel Folder shall be delivered within a period of one to fifteen calendar days prior to the start date of the trip. In exceptional cases, such as trips organized on short notice, delivery may be made on the same day as the start of the trip. Likewise, Unik Travels may, at its discretion, make delivery earlier than the stated timeframe.

4.2 Approval and Acceptance.

Once the Travel Folder has been delivered, the Client shall review its contents and notify Unik Travels of any objection or disagreement no later than the following business day after the date of delivery. If such period elapses without the Client having raised any objection, it shall be understood that the Client has approved and is satisfied with the contents of the Travel Folder and with all Components of the trip. From that point forward, responsibility for the Components shall rest exclusively with the Client and the corresponding suppliers.

4.3 Completion of Services.

The delivery of the Travel Folder shall constitute the completion of the organizational Services under this Agreement. At that time, the outstanding balance of the Planning Fee shall be paid by the Client, along with any other pending compensation owed to Unik Travels.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Components" means any reservation, flight, accommodation, tour, transportation, service, activity, excursion, meals, travel insurance, and/or any other service that Unik Travels has contracted on behalf of and for the account of the Client as part of the Services.

When an error attributable to Unik Travels in one Component results in the impairment of other Components of the trip that the Client cannot utilize as a direct consequence of such error, Unik Travels shall also be liable to compensate such affected Components, either by refunding the amount paid for each or by providing a similar or equivalent service, at the election of Unik Travels.

In no event shall the total liability of Unik Travels exceed the value of the Components directly affected by an error exclusively attributable to Unik Travels, as set forth in the current Quotation.

(a) When the Components have been delivered in accordance with the Quotation and the Client expresses dissatisfaction for reasons of personal preference, taste, or subjective expectation;

Before initiating any legal proceeding, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising from this Agreement through direct negotiation for a period of thirty (30) calendar days from the date of notice of the dispute. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement, they may submit the dispute to mediation before a mediation center located in Chicago, Illinois, the costs of which shall be shared equally.

Unik Travels shall inform the Client of such costs before proceeding with the modification, and the Client must expressly approve them. Unik Travels does not guarantee that requested modifications will be possible, as they are subject to the availability and terms of the suppliers.

12.19 High-Risk Travel.

In the event that the trip or experience includes high-risk activities, such as but not limited to extreme sports, safaris, scuba diving, mountaineering, expeditions, or similar activities, the Client acknowledges and voluntarily assumes the inherent risks of such activities. Unik Travels shall not be liable for any accidents, injuries, damages, or losses arising from the Client's participation in such activities, which are undertaken at the sole risk of the Client and the corresponding suppliers.

12.20 Third-Party Data Protection.

When the Client provides Unik Travels with the personal data of third parties who will participate in the trip, the Client represents and warrants that the Client has obtained the express consent of such third parties to share their personal data with Unik Travels and has made available to them the Privacy Policy of Unik Travels.
