1. Introduction

This Cancellation and Refund Policy explains the rules governing booking cancellations, amendments, refunds, and service disruptions for travel services purchased through 4booking.net.

4booking is operated by Innovative Experiences Company for Information Technology, a travel and tourism agency licensed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Company Details

  • Commercial Registration: 1009028099
  • Ministry of Tourism License: 73219962
  • Licensed Category: Travel and Tourism Agency
  • Website: https://4booking.net

Travel bookings may be subject to the conditions of airlines, hotels, accommodation providers, and other authorized travel suppliers.

Supplier conditions apply to the extent permitted by applicable law and do not override mandatory consumer or tourist rights under Saudi regulations.

This Policy should be read together with our Terms and Conditions and the specific cancellation conditions displayed for each booking.

 

2. General Cancellation and Refund Principles

Refund eligibility depends on the travel service purchased, the conditions disclosed before confirmation, and applicable laws.

Bookings may be:

  • Fully refundable
  • Partially refundable
  • Non-refundable under their agreed conditions
  • Refundable or eligible for alternative services under mandatory legal protections

Before completing payment, customers will be informed of the relevant cancellation deadlines, refund restrictions, amendment fees, and other material conditions.

Cancellation charges will only be applied where contractually agreed, properly disclosed, and legally permitted.

A supplier's refusal or delay in issuing a refund does not automatically remove 4booking's obligations under applicable Saudi law.

 

3. Flight Cancellations and Refunds

Flight cancellation and refund conditions depend on the airline, ticket type, fare rules, and applicable passenger rights.

Depending on the fare purchased, customers may be eligible for:

  • A full refund for qualifying refundable fares
  • A partial refund after applicable airline penalties and disclosed service charges
  • A refund of applicable taxes or charges where required by airline rules or law
  • No voluntary cancellation refund for certain non-refundable fares, subject to mandatory legal rights

The relevant fare rules will be made available before purchase.

3.1 Flight Changes and Rebooking

Flight amendments may involve:

  • Airline change penalties
  • Fare differences
  • Ticket reissue charges
  • Disclosed 4booking service fees, where applicable

Any additional payable amount will be communicated before the amendment is confirmed.

3.2 Airline Cancellations and Schedule Changes

If an airline cancels or materially changes a flight, customer rights will be determined in accordance with applicable airline rules, passenger protection requirements, and relevant laws.

4booking will assist customers with the applicable refund, rebooking, or alternative arrangements.

Where a confirmed service cannot be provided and Saudi tourism regulations require a refund or alternative, those statutory protections will apply.

 

4. Hotel and Accommodation Cancellations

Accommodation refund conditions depend on the selected property, room rate, and booking terms.

Customers may be eligible for:

  • A full refund when cancellation occurs before the disclosed free-cancellation deadline
  • A partial refund when an agreed cancellation penalty applies
  • No voluntary cancellation refund for non-refundable rates, subject to applicable law

Late cancellation, no-show, and early-departure conditions will follow the disclosed booking terms, except where mandatory legal rights require otherwise.

4.1 Confirmed Accommodation Unavailable

If a customer cannot check in to confirmed accommodation because the contracted accommodation cannot be provided, 4booking will notify the customer immediately.

In accordance with applicable Saudi tourism regulations, the customer will be offered the statutory remedies, including, as applicable:

  • An immediate refund without deductions, calculated according to the requirements governing unavailable confirmed accommodation; or
  • Equivalent or superior alternative accommodation, including required transfer arrangements, without additional cost to the customer.

Supplier cancellation restrictions will not override these protections.

 

5. Tours, Activities, and Excursions

Where 4booking is legally authorized to sell the relevant activities or tours, their cancellation conditions will be disclosed before purchase.

Depending on the service, conditions may include:

  • Full refunds before a stated cancellation deadline
  • Partial refunds subject to disclosed penalties
  • Non-refundable reservations for certain time-specific activities
  • No-show restrictions

If a confirmed service is cancelled by the provider or cannot be delivered, applicable Saudi tourism protections will take precedence over ordinary voluntary cancellation restrictions.

Any alternative service must comply with the requirements applicable to the original booking.

 

6. Transfers and Car Rentals

Where these services are available and legally authorized, refunds and amendments will be governed by the relevant disclosed supplier conditions and applicable law.

Potential cancellation factors include:

  • Cancellation deadlines
  • Vehicle collection or transfer times
  • Driver eligibility and documentation
  • No-show conditions
  • Advance payment requirements
  • Applicable cancellation penalties

If a confirmed service cannot be provided by 4booking or its supplier, customers will receive the applicable statutory remedies.

 

7. Holiday Packages and Combined Bookings

Where 4booking is authorized to sell a travel package, its cancellation rules will be communicated before payment.

Packages may contain several components, including flights, hotels, transfers, or other travel services.

Refund eligibility will be assessed according to:

  • The terms disclosed for each component
  • Whether the package was sold as a single contractual service
  • Applicable supplier cancellation conditions
  • Mandatory statutory customer rights

Where components are separately priced and cancellable, the refundable value of each component will be assessed individually where appropriate.

The most restrictive supplier condition will not automatically apply to every component of a package.

If 4booking cannot provide a confirmed package or agreed component, applicable statutory rights will be honored.

 

8. Service Fees and Additional Charges

4booking may charge booking, administration, amendment, or cancellation fees where permitted.

Such fees must be clearly disclosed before the relevant transaction is confirmed.

For voluntary customer cancellations, disclosed and legally permitted service fees may be non-refundable.

However, when a confirmed service cannot be provided and applicable Saudi law requires reimbursement without deductions, the refund will include the amounts required by law, without retaining otherwise applicable service fees.

No undisclosed cancellation or administrative charges will be imposed.

 

9. Refund Processing and Payment Method

Refunds will ordinarily be returned through the original payment method, subject to payment processing requirements and applicable law.

The applicable refund timeframe depends on the reason for the refund and relevant legal obligations.

For voluntary cancellations, estimated processing times may vary depending on the travel supplier and payment provider. Any estimate given to the customer will be subject to mandatory legal deadlines.

When an agreed service is not provided, 4booking will complete the refund within the period required under applicable Saudi tourism regulations, including the maximum period of 30 calendar days where specified by Article 22.

Where Article 23 requires an immediate refund following failure to provide a confirmed service, 4booking will initiate the required refund promptly and comply with the specific statutory remedy.

Supplier or banking processing delays do not automatically extend mandatory legal deadlines applicable to 4booking.

Customers will receive notification of the refund decision and transaction status.

 

10. Failed Bookings and Duplicate Payments

If a payment has been collected but a booking cannot be completed or confirmed, 4booking will investigate the transaction promptly.

If no confirmed service can be provided, 4booking will apply the refund or alternative-service remedies required by law.

Customers will not be required to pay additional undisclosed amounts to resolve a failed booking.

Verified duplicate payments or incorrect charges will be corrected through the relevant payment channel.

Customers may be requested to provide transaction references necessary to investigate payment issues.

 

11. No-Show, Customer Errors, and Travel Documents

Voluntary cancellation refunds may be restricted where:

  • A customer fails to attend a booked flight, activity, or accommodation check-in
  • Incorrect traveler details prevent use of the booked service
  • The traveler lacks legally required passports, visas, or identification
  • A customer misses a service through personal delay
  • The customer fails to meet disclosed eligibility or booking requirements

In such cases, refunds will be determined under the relevant disclosed conditions and applicable legal protections.

These circumstances do not automatically eliminate every possible refund right, including rights relating to refundable taxes, unused services, supplier exceptions, or mandatory legal remedies.

 

12. Exceptional Circumstances and Force Majeure

Travel services may be affected by circumstances beyond reasonable control, such as:

  • Severe weather
  • Natural disasters
  • Government travel restrictions
  • Security emergencies
  • Airport closures
  • Other exceptional events

When such circumstances materially affect a confirmed booking, 4booking will inform the customer and follow applicable supplier conditions, instructions issued by competent authorities, and mandatory legal requirements.

Force majeure does not automatically make all bookings non-refundable.

Available remedies will be assessed according to the circumstances and applicable legal obligations.

 

13. How to Request a Cancellation or Refund

Customers may request a cancellation, amendment, or refund through the official support channels published on 4booking.net.

The request should include:

  1. Booking reference
  2. Passenger or guest name
  3. Contact information
  4. Service concerned
  5. Requested action and relevant reason
  6. Supporting documentation, where necessary

4booking will review the request, identify the applicable booking conditions, and communicate the outcome or next steps.

Where verification is necessary, customers may be asked to provide information reasonably required to confirm their identity or booking authorization.

Customers should submit voluntary cancellation requests before the applicable cancellation deadline to avoid additional penalties.

Requests received outside customer support operating hours will be handled according to applicable law and the published service arrangements.

 

14. Customer Complaints and Disputes

If you disagree with a cancellation or refund decision, you may submit a complaint through 4booking's published customer support channels.

Complaints will be reviewed in accordance with applicable laws and tourism regulations.

Customers may also refer complaints to the competent Saudi authorities through their official channels.

Nothing in this Policy limits mandatory consumer rights or lawful complaint procedures.

 

15. Changes to This Policy

4booking may update this Policy to reflect legal, regulatory, or operational changes.

Any revision will be published with an updated effective date.

Material changes will not retroactively reduce rights arising from previously confirmed bookings, except where permitted or required by law.

Where additional notice or consent is required, appropriate steps will be taken.
