The invalidity or non-enforceability of one or more provisions of these general terms of sales and provision of service does not impugn in any way the validity and enforceability of the remainder of the provisions. The titles of the articles and sections and subsections are provided only as a reference and do not limit the content of each section.

Any non-action by Capago International against a violation of one or several provisions of its general terms of sales and provision of service by one or more users does not constitute an abandonment of interest or tacit acceptance.

Capago International reserves the right to take any action it deems useful or that its clients request of it.

In general, and for security reasons, Capago International does not accept cash payment for its products and services.

Any exemption from this rule is granted explicitly and in writing by Capago International only. Specific information can be found under the appropriate sections of the websites of our local offices.

Special local rules may apply to payment means and/or methods and corresponding payment fees may apply. For more information, the user should refer to the specific section on the website of our corresponding local office.

Unless otherwise specified in writing, when billing its services Capago International is bound to apply the currency conversion rates conveyed by the respective embassies/consulates. This information is posted and updated regularly in our local offices and on our websites.

For any additional questions or requests relating to these terms of use, please write to us by email at: contact@capago.eu.

Capago International makes no recommendation to purchase or book a travel to file a visa application, unless said purchase or booking is required as stated in the visa application requirements.

The user of our services is responsible for the accuracy, completeness and verification of the information submitted directly or indirectly in his/her visa application form and in the items comprising his/her application. Capago International is not authorised to verify the inclusion of information, the absence of errors or the relevance of the information provided by the user.

Capago International encourages the user of our services to keep a copy of all the documents submitted when applying for a visa, as well as receipts.

In some cases, in lieu of the procedure established by Capago International, our client, the embassy or consulate, may return documents or passports directly to the user. In such cases, Capago International cannot be held liable for any loss or damage.

The user acknowledges and accepts that Capago International has no control over its client embassies and consulates, nor does it perform any services that come under their exclusive authority. Thus Capago International cannot be held liable for any loss of or damage to the documents submitted by the user when it occurred during services performed exclusively by the embassies and consulates.

In some cases the client will chose the services of a third party mailing company offered by Capago International as an option. The user recognises and accepts that this service is performed by an outside company. Capago International does not control or operate any shipping company, nor does it control or operate related equipment or services. Capago International declines any liability for harm caused to the user if his/er documents are delayed/misplaced/lost/damaged by the shipping company, even if the delay/misplacement/loss/damage arises from negligence, accident or any other cause. Under no circumstances shall Capago International or its representatives be held liable for any direct or indirect loss in connection with these delays/misplacement/losses/damage to the user’s documents, including his/her passport.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned elements, the sole and exclusive liability of Capago International and/or its representatives in the event of the loss or damage of a passport is strictly limited to the cost of the fees charged by local authorities to replace the passport under standard renewal conditions. Such a refund is only possible upon presentation of a true receipt issued by the local authorities. The user accepts all the terms of this limitation of liability clause.

The service fees are paid upfront to Capago International by the user when booking an appointment. Service fees are not refundable under any circumstances, regardless of the issuance or non-issuance of the visa that occurs at the sole discretion of the embassy or consulate and regardless if the user come for his appointment or not.

An applicant can reschedule twice or cancel the appointment up to 72 hrs before the time of the appointment. When the applicant has canceled the appointment he will have the possibility to get a new appointment time by contacting Capago. Cancellation of an appointment online doesn’t qualify the applicant for a refund. It only allows the applicant to take more time before requesting a new appointment date.

Once the service fee has been paid to Capago International, the user is presumed to accept that processing begins immediately. As a result, he/she cannot request that it be cancelled with Capago International.

Any cancellation of processing shall be addressed to the relevant embassy or consulate. The turnaround time for processing requests to cancel processing and return passports is at the sole discretion of the relevant embassy or consulate.

Notwithstanding the situations set forth in these general terms of the sale, there shall be no refunds of the application fees incurred when processing is cancelled.
