packages offered from time to time online, suitable for purchase by
the same in the name of and on behalf of its own clients.
The TA accepts the task and obliges itself to follow it in accordance
with the conditions enumerated as follows, aware of not having any representative
power on behalf of NEW MILLENNIUM in disputes against third parties.
It is understood that with the Contract, the Parties do not intend
to place into being any form of association between one another.
- APPLICABLE RULES
The parties, to execute the contract, in addition to what is stated
below, pledge to follow what is provided by the Italian civil code
in effect and from current legislation with regard to organisation
and intermediation of trips, holidays and “all-included tours” with
particular reference to the Law n. 1084/77 ratified by the International
Convention related to the travel contract (CCV) signed in Brussels
on 04/23/1970, and the D. Lgs. 111/95 carrying out of the CEE Directive
n. 314/90 related to “Trips, holidays and all-included tours.”
- DURATION OF THE CONTRACT AND WITHDRAWAL
The Contract, which will take effect on the date of its execution
on paper or online, will have the duration of one year starting from
the date of signature, on the first expiry, it will be renewed for
subsequent periods of 12 (twelve) months each, unless cancelled, by
means of written communication via registered mail, to be received
by the addressee Party at least 90 (ninety) days prior to the original
expiry or renewal of the Contract.
In case of withdrawal or cancellation for any reason, NEW MILLENNIUM
may immediately deactivate or cancel the account of the User and all
of the related information present on the account, denying any subsequent

by NEW MILLENNIUM are entrusted to the TA and are agreed to by means

by the TA itself, understanding for “Password” the alphanumeric
sequence that allows access to the site. The TA is obliged to adhere
to the directions for use described on the site itself and to maintain
the password with maximum confidentiality and with maximum diligence,
avoiding that it is used inappropriately, unduly, or without authorisation,
aware that divulging the aforesaid data may constitute cause for potential
damages for NEW MILLENNIUM and/or third parties. It will therefore
be responsible for whatever damage caused to NEW MILLENNIUM and/or
third parties depending upon insufficient observation of the above.
The TA pledges to immediately notify in writing to NEW MILLENNIUM
the possible mislay, theft, removal or loss of Password and other confidential
identifying information.

Entering it and visualising the offer of possible interest, the TA
is in a position to indicate to the client in the name of and on behalf

has the right to receive what is owed to it, shortly after the TA completes
the telecommunications reservation booking.

listings derived from exchange rate variations or fluctuations, increase

of the contract;
5) To have clients sign the precompiled downloadable online travel
contract at the time of the reservation;
6) To keep a copy of the signed forms of appropriate clients at the
disposal of NEW MILLENNIUM for at least 36 months from the return of
clients;
7) To remit to NEW MILLENNIUM the total amount owed for reservations
carried out net the commission owed to the TA with anticipated follow-up
procedures:

forwarded by clients, sending at the same time, a copy of the aforesaid
travel documents in its possession in accordance with Law 111/95;
- PROHIBITIONS TO THE AGENCY
It is expressly prohibited by the TA to propose or agree upon prices
or conditions different from those published by NEW MILLENNIUM offers
without prior written authorisation by NEW MILLENNIUM;
It is also prohibited for the TA to offset payment of that owed to
NEW MILLENNIUM with possible claimed credits in disputes of the same.

of the other Party.
The TA pledges that violation of these confidentiality obligations
of the present Contract constitutes serious damage to NEW MILLENNIUM

than it would treat its own confidential information.

majeure. Wherever possible, information will be given to the TA with
regard to the start date and duration of maintenance operations;

employees or partners and vendors in accordance with current laws in
effect.
14.2 The TA indemnifies NEW MILLENNIUM of any prejudice, damage,
responsibility, fees, also legal, suffered or sustained from NEW MILLENNIUM

under current laws in effect.
