The customer is responsible for ensuring that all documents related to the booking have been read.
Non-payment is not a cancellation. Lapponia Tours Ltd reserves the right to cancel a reservation in the event, that the payment is not made by the due date.

COVID-19 Travel Restrictions and Flight Cancellations
The customer does not have the right to deviate from the booking terms and conditions and does not have the right to cancel their booking on the basis that the customer who made the booking or the lodgers are not able to arrive at the lodgings at the booked arrival time as a result of the travel restrictions imposed by Finland or the country of departure as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. Travel restrictions do not count as “Force Majeure” events/circumstances, as international/national travel restrictions which are due to the COVID-19 epidemic are not unforeseen. In this situation, the customer’s cancellation and no-shows will be subject to the standard booking terms and conditions.
The above also applies in the event, that the customer or the lodgers cannot enter Finland due to the cancellation of flights or changes in schedules. Flights may be cancelled and rescheduled due to the COVID-19 epidemic and are not “Force Majeure” events/circumstances as these circumstances are not an unforeseen situation.
