SERVICE BOOKING PROCESS

I. Service Consultation:

Service consultation means that customers visit Laka's website and submit a consultation request through one of the following methods: Zalo, Email, Hotline, online chat, etc. The website support staff at Laka will receive the information and forward the request to an appropriate service consultant. This consultant will proactively contact the customer to discuss the service.

Laka encourages and welcomes customers who book tours one or two months in advance (or even earlier) and complete payment ahead of the required deadline. This allows us to better prepare the tour program, tour content, and other services to serve customers in the best possible way.

II. Booking Services:

Based on the consultation process with Laka’s consultant, if the customer confirms the service, the Laka consultant will send a "Service Confirmation Letter" to the customer via the email address provided:

The service booking is considered complete when the customer confirms the service via email and makes a deposit payment to Laka.

Completion of documents: Laka will send the original Contract/Service Confirmation Slip/Order; Quotation; Tour Itinerary with the signature of an authorized representative and Laka’s official stamp via express delivery to the customer. Within 03 days from the date of receiving the original documents, the customer is required to return one copy of the above documents to Laka.

After both parties confirm the service booking, the customer must send Laka the participant information (valid ID card/passport) so that Laka can proceed with booking restaurants, transportation, accommodation, and other services within 03 days from the date of service confirmation. Laka encourages customers to provide all participant information before the requested deadline to ensure a proactive and timely booking process, thus guaranteeing service quality for the customer’s program.

Deposit and Payment Regulations:

For group tour services: Customers must deposit at least 80% of the total service value to Laka. The service price is only guaranteed to remain unchanged after the deposit is completed. The quotations provided by Laka are valid for a maximum of 03 days and are preliminary estimates. The final price depends entirely on the supplier’s pricing policy.

Second payment: The remaining 20% of the booking value and any additional incurred costs (if any) must be paid to Laka within 05 days after the tour ends (This includes Saturdays and Sundays but excludes public holidays).

For Team Building/Events/Conferences/Seminars and other services:

For join-in tours and individual services:

A 100% deposit of the total service value is required. The service price is only guaranteed to remain unchanged after the deposit is completed.

Second payment: Any additional incurred costs (if any) must be paid before the tour ends.

For flight and train ticket bookings:

Customers must pay 100% of the ticket value to Laka and provide passenger information so that Laka can notify the supplier to issue the ticket at the best price. Issued tickets are non-refundable and non-cancellable.

If the customer complies with the terms stated in the Service Confirmation Letter and the attached Contract/Service Confirmation Slip, and the booking is not canceled unilaterally by the customer, the deposit will be considered the first installment payment from the time Laka starts providing the service.

Customer Responsibilities:

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

Laka's refund and service exchange policy is implemented seriously and transparently according to the following principles:

Once the customer has confirmed the service and completed the deposit (hereinafter referred to as the "Service Implementation Phase"), any changes or adjustments to the service must be communicated between both parties as soon as possible (no later than 6 hours from the time of occurrence). Any proposed changes from one party will only be valid if approved by the other party.

The cancellation time for the trip is calculated based on business days and does not include Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays.

1. If the booking is canceled by Laka:

If Laka is unable to carry out the trip, we will notify the customer immediately and refund the full deposit amount within 5 days from the cancellation notice, either in cash or via bank transfer. In addition, Laka will assist in arranging an alternative service provider for the customer and will bear any losses related to pre-booked services such as accommodation deposits, airline tickets, train tickets, restaurants, etc.

2. If the booking is canceled by the customer:

If the booking is canceled from the deposit payment date to 15 days before departure, the customer will be charged a 30% penalty of the total booking value or the value of the canceled service item.

If the booking is canceled from 14 to 10 days before departure, the customer will be charged a 50% penalty of the total booking value or the value of the canceled service item.

If the booking is canceled from 9 to 7 days before departure, the customer will be charged a 70% penalty of the total booking value or the value of the canceled service item.

If the booking is canceled within 6 days before departure, the customer will be charged a 100% penalty of the total booking value or the value of the canceled service item.

Important Notes:

If the tour is canceled due to unforeseen events such as natural disasters, epidemics, or delays and cancellations of public transport (Force Majeure Events), Laka will not be responsible for any additional compensation beyond the refund of the tour fee.

Force Majeure Events:

Force majeure events refer to objective incidents, including but not limited to: epidemics, storms, floods, landslides, traffic accidents, fires, changes in laws, or official prohibitions from authorities—events that directly affect the execution of this contract and are unforeseeable and unpreventable despite all necessary measures being taken.

If one or both parties encounter a force majeure event during service execution, the affected party must notify the other party as soon as possible (no later than 24 hours after the event occurs). Failure to notify within this timeframe will not exempt the party from liability.

Both parties will discuss and agree on one of the following solutions:

A party's failure or delay in fulfilling obligations due to force majeure will not be considered a contract violation.

During the force majeure period, both parties are exempt from compensation obligations. Once the force majeure event ends, the booking will continue if possible.

If the force majeure event lasts more than 3 months, the affected party has the right to unilaterally terminate the booking. Both parties will negotiate compensation based on a risk-sharing principle, and the customer agrees to use Laka's services after the force majeure event ends.
