1. Definitions & Key Terminology
Throughout these Terms of Service, the following definitions apply:
- "The Platform" or "Service":Our website (kemra-travel.web.app), mobile interfaces, software applications, APIs, and associated technology tools enabling travelers to discover, search, review, and book tourism experiences.
- "User", "Traveler", or "You":Any individual, consumer, or legal representative accessing our service to browse, reserve, purchase, or review travel packages and experiences.
- "Third-Party Tour Operator" or "Service Provider":An independent, verified third-party tourism company, certified Egyptologist guide, cruise operator, transport provider, or hotel entity listing and fulfilling tourism packages via the platform. Tour operators are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, or joint-venture partners of Kemra Travel.
- "Tour Package" or "Tourism Services":The experiential travel services offered by providers, including day tours, desert safaris, Nile cruises, marine diving excursions, and multi-day bespoke travel packages.
2. Role of the Platform (Technical Intermediary)
Kemra Travel operates as a specialized Technical Marketplace & Booking Intermediary connecting global travelers with verified local tour operators. Except for explicitly demarcated platform-operated excursions, we do not organize, operate, own, or physically deliver the tours ourselves.
3. Booking Process & Contract Formation
- Pricing & Quotations: All prices displayed on the platform are published in good faith based on provider inputs. Prices are reviewed regularly and include all standard itinerary inclusions as specified on the excursion detail page.
- Dual Confirmation Mechanism (Email & Official WhatsApp):
A booking becomes final and contractually binding only upon issuance of our official booking confirmation. Confirmations are dispatched simultaneously via Email and official WhatsApp message to your registered mobile phone number.
📱 Official WhatsApp Proof of Booking: Due to immediate delivery and live concierge coordination, the WhatsApp confirmation message serves as the primary and official operational proof of your reservation. Please ensure your registered phone number is accurate and accessible. - Provider Policies & Restrictions: By booking a tour, you simultaneously agree to the specific operator rules (e.g., minimum age requirements, luggage allowances, fitness advisories, and cancellation schedules) displayed on the checkout page prior to confirmation.
4. Payment Methods & Financial Policies
We provide two flexible payment pathways tailored to your travel preference:
You can pay the full excursion cost directly in cash (in the agreed local or foreign currency, e.g. USD, EUR, EGP) or via mobile POS terminals to the tour operator upon meeting at the start of your tour or hotel lobby.
You can securely pay in full online via Credit or Debit Card (Visa / Mastercard) through our encrypted PCI-DSS payment gateway. Your reservation is immediately stamped as Paid & Confirmed, and no further payment is required upon arrival. The transaction will appear clearly on your bank statement under Kemra Travel.
Commissions & Platform Fees: Any applicable platform processing or merchant fees are transparently itemized prior to checkout.
Taxes & Tourism Levies: Travelers are responsible for statutory local national park entry fees or government tourism levies unless explicitly listed as included in the tour itinerary.
5. Cancellation & Refund Policies
Provider Cancellation Rules: Cancellation and refund terms are determined by the specific tour operator. For standard day tours, free cancellation is generally permitted up to 24 hours before departure (for Pay-on-Arrival) or 48 hours (for online card payments). Bespoke Nile cruises or multi-day expeditions may have customized cancellation schedules stated on the booking voucher.
Platform Force Majeure Cancellations: In rare circumstances where a tour cannot safely proceed due to extreme weather, safety alerts, or provider incapacity, we will notify you immediately via WhatsApp and process a 100% full refund to your original payment method within 14 business days.
6. Traveler Responsibilities & Conduct
- Information Accuracy: You bear sole responsibility for ensuring all traveler names, contact details, passport numbers, and pickup addresses are accurate.
