WOW HOLIDAYS GROUP PVT LTD (“the Company”). By booking any travel service or
tour package, the client agrees to be bound by these terms. They are designed to ensure clarity,
fairness, and smooth execution of all arrangements made through the Company. Understanding and
accepting these conditions is essential to prevent any misunderstandings or disputes. All clients
are advised to read them carefully before proceeding with any bookings, as these terms govern
responsibilities, liabilities, cancellations, payments, and service expectations throughout the tour.
1. BOOKING & RESERVATION POLICY
1.1 Mode of Booking
All bookings with WOW HOLIDAYS GROUP PVT LTD must be made in writing via email
or through official communication channels. Verbal bookings will not be considered confirmed under
any circumstances. Written communication helps ensure clarity, accuracy, and traceability of the
booking process, preventing any potential misunderstandings.
1.2 Payment Terms
To initiate the booking process, clients are required to pay a minimum of 70% of the total tour
package cost at the time of reservation. This initial payment secures the tentative arrangements.
The remaining 30% must be paid immediately after confirmation and before the start of the tour.
Please note that services such as flight bookings, visa applications, and hotel accommodations
will only be processed once the full amount is received by the Company. Failure to complete
payment within the specified time may result in cancellation without refund.
1.3 Confirmation of Services
Confirmation of services is provided only after the complete or agreed-upon partial payment has
been received in accordance with the payment policy. While payment confirms the intent to proceed,
it does not guarantee availability of specific services unless confirmed in writing. All bookings
remain subject to availability and prior payment verification.

2.1 Standard Payment Breakdown
WOW HOLIDAYS GROUP PVT LTD follows a structured payment schedule to ensure
smooth processing and confirmation of travel services. At the time of booking, clients are
required to pay a 25% token amount of the total package cost to initiate the
reservation process. This advance payment allows the Company to begin confirming services such
as hotels, transportation, and itinerary arrangements.
An additional 50% of the total amount must be paid within
one month from the date of initial booking. This ensures the continuation and
completion of service arrangements, especially those involving third-party vendors, airline
tickets, or special requests.

receiving the full payment will final confirmations, service vouchers, and travel documents be
released to the client.

or bookings without prior notice. In such cases, the Company shall not be liable to refund the
advance or recoverable amount. Clients are strongly advised to follow the payment deadlines strictly.

not be entertained. Any applicable refunds will be processed in accordance with the cancellation
policy and are subject to deductions, including cancellation charges and non-refundable amounts
imposed by third-party service providers such as airlines, hotels, and transport companies. The
timing of the cancellation will significantly affect the refund amount, with later cancellations

the specified contact details will be deemed as delivered and received, even if the client does
not acknowledge or respond to it.
In the case where a travel agent is involved in the booking process, all communications regarding
the client’s booking, changes, or updates will be routed through the travel agent. The travel agent
will act as the liaison between the client and the Company for all matters related to the tour.
Clients should ensure that all service vouchers and travel documents include the
Company’s confirmation reference number. This reference number is essential for the

are at the discretion of the hotel and may incur additional charges.
