Common use of Service Modifications Clause in Contracts

Service Modifications. 6.1 In its capacity as the tour operator, ICO reserves the right to modify and deviate from the contractual terms, provi- ded the modiflcation in question is not signiflcant. The above shall apply, in particular, for changes to the travel time, layovers and routes. These changes are permissible when they are required due to, for example, official instructions, for safety reasons for the passengers and the ship’s crew and/or due to unavoidable, exceptional circumstances, weather conditions or safety considerations, and/or to avert danger. The captain responsible for the ship bears sole responsibi- lity for making these decisions. If the use of a particular airline is not warranted, an amendment to the airline and the arrival and departure times is permitted. If, as an exception, ICO has conflrmed a cabin number prior to the cruise, no other requests from the applicant can be granted after allocation of the cabin. ICO reserves the right to change alloca- xxx cabins if this amendment takes place within the same cabin category and is deemed reasonable. For all of the above cases, ICO must inform the applicant via a durable medium (digital or paper) in a clear, understandable and highlighted manner of the modiflcation prior to the travel date.
