The refund of the ticket, payed through cash,may be effectuated by all the  ticket  offices;  the  tkt  payed  through credit/debit  credit  card,  and the  E-tickets purchased  online  or  through  the  Travel Agencies, will be refunded by  the  Company (art.  11)  following  a  written  request  sent  by email to rimborsi@libertylines. Whenever the cancellation  of the trip or the delayed departure that is not attributable to force majeure require an additional accommodation, the Passenger will be entitled to compensation for the additional stay. Such compensation shall not exceed 80 euros per night, for a maximum of three nights.

Art.  12  Compensation  in  case  of  Late Arrival

Without  prejudice  to  any  of  the  applicable Laws,  any  compensation,  if  due,  by  the Company to the Passenger in the event of late arrival  will  be  calculated  in  proportion  to  the Price  paid  for  the  Ticket,  guaranteeing  the minimum level as established by art. 19 of EU Regulation  n.  1177/2010.  In  any  case  and without  prejudice  to  any  other  applicable limitation of liability provided by the law, if the delay  due  to  weather  conditions  endangering the  safe  operation  of  the  ship or  to extraordinary  circumstances  which  could  not have  been  avoided  even  if  all  reasonable measures  had  been  taken  no  compensation  is payable. If the Passenger holds a season Ticket, compensation,  if  due,  will  be  calculated  as mentioned  above  and  each  passage  of  the season  Ticket  will  be  considered  as  a  single Ticket.  Compensation  from  the  Company  is carried out  by  bank transfer  or  in  cash  at  the Ticket  Offices  of  the  Company,  except  for Tickets  issued  in  exchange  of  Electronic  Tkt which will only be refunded by the entity that issued the Electronic Tkt. with the exception of the tickets issued following the exchange of the ticket  that  will  be  refunded  by  the  Company.
