- Guests traveling with a Turkish Republic green passport must renew their passports if the date of issue is more than 10 years ago. Otherwise, they may not be admitted to the country they are visiting and/or the airline company may not allow them to fly from Turkey. In such a case, responsibility belongs to the passenger, and Bluemaxx Travel cannot be held responsible in any way.
- In order to avoid problems with customs police at the border gate of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports, such passports must be renewed, and if the country applies visas to Turkish Republic citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger.
- Guest passports must be valid for a minimum of 6 months as of the return flight date. Otherwise, any resulting issue is the responsibility of the guests.
- Bluemaxx Travel acts as an intermediary between the passenger and the consulate. The consulate has the right to refuse to issue a visa when it deems necessary, and Bluemaxx Travel bears no responsibility for the passenger's inability to obtain a visa. Bluemaxx Travel only undertakes the role of an intermediary institution. Bluemaxx Travel has no liability or obligation regarding personal visa applications. Consumers have registered for the tour by accepting these terms.

- Under normal circumstances, obtaining the documents required by passengers who will apply for their own visas, such as hotel confirmations and flight tickets, takes 1 business day. Our guests must arrange their appointment dates and times taking this period into consideration. Otherwise, Bluemaxx Travel is not responsible for possible disruptions.
- If the guest cancels the reservation and/or does not/cannot participate in the relevant tour, the visa fee and service fee are non-refundable. If the guest obtained the visa and visa service through the Bluemaxx Travel Visa Department and this visa service was specified as an additional service in the travel contract, and if Bluemaxx Travel cancels the relevant tour due to insufficient participation or another reason, the guest may receive a refund of the amount remaining after excluding fees and similar amounts paid to consulates for the visa, provided that they present their passport proving that they did not use the visa within 1 week at the latest after the visa expiry date. If the guest obtained the visa through their own means and/or with the assistance of a different visa intermediary company and Bluemaxx Travel cancels the relevant tour due to insufficient participation or another reason, no refund will be made to the guest.
- Routes may change depending on the city where the aircraft lands. The aircraft type and time may change, and since hotel availability may vary during high season or special periods, another similar hotel may be provided. These circumstances were notified at the time of contract and THE PASSENGER PURCHASED THE TOUR BY ACCEPTING THE RISK OF TIME CHANGES AND HOTEL CHANGES.

Guests who do not carry their travel insurance may be fined by the police of the relevant country. If such a fine is imposed because the guest did not carry travel insurance, responsibility belongs to the guest.
- Due to diplomatic relations between countries, entering or exiting certain countries may result in being unable to obtain a visa for another country or multiple countries, or being unable to enter through a border gate. Since this situation is beyond the control of Bluemaxx Travel, the parties acknowledge that Bluemaxx Travel bears no responsibility in such a case.
- Guests who do not wish to participate in tours conducted along the route for the purpose of providing the group with economic and time benefits during the visit agree to wait for the group at a nearby facility until the extra excursion ends. At the end of the excursion, our bus will pick up these guests and the tour will continue.
- Panoramic city tours are excursions organized to introduce the cities. City tours and extra excursions may be organized on different days, provided that their content remains unchanged, or may not take place depending on weather conditions. In such a case, Bluemaxx Travel is obliged to offer our valued guests the most suitable alternative possible. Extra tours are organized with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved, extra tours may not be operated or prices may change.
- Excursions or tours that local authorities do not permit for any reason will not be operated. Bluemaxx Travel cannot be held responsible if these excursions or tours cannot be operated.

- Last-minute flight delays and gate changes are displayed on information boards/screens at airports. Guests must monitor this information themselves. If the flight is missed due to such a situation or personal reasons, the guest must purchase and pay for a new ticket themselves (as stated in the previous clause, if necessary, as a round-trip ticket). In addition, they may partially or completely miss the first day's program because they missed the group's departure; responsibility in this case belongs to the guest. Furthermore, if they travel to the relevant city/country on a flight different from that of the group, airport-city or airport-hotel transfers are the responsibility of the guest.
- Guests wishing to upgrade their flight tickets using miles may do so only after the tickets have been issued and provided that there is availability on the relevant flight of the airline. Since the aircraft seats in our programs are in a group class, before upgrading the requested ticket, if availability exists, it may be necessary to pay the difference specified by the airline and move the ticket from the group class to an economy class eligible for upgrade. Any resulting price difference is the responsibility of the guest. Group tickets in our programs are issued a few days before the departure of the tour.
- To use your mobile phones abroad, before leaving Turkey you must check with your GSM operator whether your line is enabled for making/receiving international calls.
