VisitOSLO as (VO) is responsible for ensuring that:

- You receive all the necessary travel documents.
- You are informed of any changes concerning your reservations.
- The supplier(s) receive(s) payment for the services you have purchased.
- VO alone will contact the supplier(s), if no other arrangements have been made.

When is the order confirmed?
The booking will be confirmed in writing by VO. These conditions take effect when you receive a confirmation in writing from VO no matter whether you have paid in full, in part or not at all.

Conditions for ordering:
- For daytrips: Booking must occur within one month prior to arrival.
- For overnight trips/packages: Booking must occur within two months prior to arrival.

When do I pay?
- A deposit of 10 % of the total price will be charged within 14 days after an accepted booking.
- The balance will be charged within 14 days prior to arrival.

What happens if I do not pay in time?
VO may cancel your booking and demand payment to cover cancellation cost in accordance with the conditions stipulated below. Otherwise you will be expected to pay compensation to the VO for all expenses imposed on them by other supplier and so forth.

What are the conditions if I need to change the booking?
Changes may be made free of charge within one month prior to arrival. One month before arrival, the conditions of cancellation will be valid.

What are the conditions if I wish to cancel?
You can make a cancellation in writing to VO.

Cancellation of 5 persons or more, alternatively the whole group:
- Cancellations made more than 30 days prior to arrival will be charged with an administration fee of NOK 100,- per person.

What if something goes wrong?
If all or part of the travel package cannot be supplied according to the travel documents you received, and if no similar alternative (for example you get offered another accommodation in the same class and area), you are entitled to make a cancellation. VO will refund what you have paid, making reductions for any part of the arrangement which you have already used or will be using. Should something go wrong after your arrival, it is vital to sort this out on the spot (e.g. at the hotel/museum).

What happens if we do not agree?
If we are unable to come to some agreement, you may apply to the Complaints Office for Charter Tours, Brugt. 1, 0186 Oslo, Norway, within four weeks after VO have given its final response in the matter.
