1. Definition of Force Majeure
“Force Majeure” refers to events that occur objectively, are unforeseeable, and cannot be remedied despite all necessary measures. These include but are not limited to:

Epidemics: Outbreaks of dangerous infectious diseases leading to travel bans/quarantines.
Social Instability: War, strikes, riots, terrorism.

2. Handling Process
When a Force Majeure event prevents service execution:
Notification: Ticket Trek or the Service Provider will notify the customer as soon as possible via Email/SMS/Phone.
Obligation: Both Ticket Trek and the Customer are exempt from liability for compensation regarding unfulfilled services.
3. Refund & Retention Options
Depending on the policy of each Service Provider (Airline/Tour/Hotel) at the time of the event, support options typically include:
- Credit Shell: Ticket value is retained in the system for future use (usually valid for 6 – 12 months).
- Reschedule: Free change of departure date (fare difference may apply).
- Refund: In special cases, the Provider may accept a refund (processing time may be longer than usual, 30 – 90 days).
Note: Ticket Trek’s processing/service fees are non-refundable.
