Digital Service Delivery and Refund Policy

Last updated: February 10, 2026

Digital Service Notice

Vistumo provides digital tourist tax payment facilitation services. There is no physical product delivery. All confirmations and documents are delivered electronically via email. If we are unable to complete your order within the guaranteed delivery timeframe, you will receive a full automatic refund.

1. Service Delivery

1.1 Nature of Service

Vistumo provides a digital service that facilitates the payment of mandatory tourist taxes on behalf of travelers. Our service is entirely electronic—there are no physical products to ship or deliver.

1.2 Delivery Process

Upon successful completion of your payment, processing begins immediately. Our service delivery includes the following steps:

  1. Payment Processing - Your payment is securely processed through our payment processor
  2. Government Submission - We submit your information to the relevant government tourism portal on your behalf
  3. Confirmation Delivery - You receive your tax payment confirmation via email
  4. QR Code/Document - Where applicable, you receive the official QR code or confirmation document

Please note that while processing begins immediately upon payment, completion depends on the availability and response time of the respective government portal, which is outside our control.

1.3 Delivery Timeline

StageExpected Timeline
Payment confirmation emailImmediately (within minutes)
Government portal submissionProcessing begins immediately
Official confirmation/QR code deliveryWithin 24 hours (guaranteed)

1.4 Delivery Guarantee

Our Delivery Guarantee

Vistumo guarantees delivery of your official QR code or confirmation document within 24 hours of successful payment (as confirmed by our payment processor). If we are unable to complete your order within this timeframe, you will automatically receive a full refund (tourist tax amount plus service fee) to your original payment method. This guarantee applies regardless of force majeure events (see our Terms of Use, Section 8.4). This guarantee does not apply where delivery failure is caused by an invalid, inaccessible, or incorrect email address provided by the Buyer.

Note: Delivery times may vary depending on government portal availability and processing times, which are outside our control. In most cases, delivery is completed well within the guaranteed timeframe.

2. Email Delivery

All confirmations and documents are delivered to the email address you provide during the payment process. Please ensure:

  • You provide a valid, accessible email address
  • You check your spam/junk folder if you don't receive our emails
  • You add contact@vistumo.com to your safe senders list

If you don't receive your confirmation email within a few hours, please check your spam/junk folder first. If you still cannot find it, contact us at contact@vistumo.com with your transaction details. Note: If your QR code or confirmation document is not delivered within 24 hours, our delivery guarantee applies and you will receive an automatic refund (see Section 3).

3. Refund Policy

No User-Initiated Cancellations

Once you place an order, processing begins immediately and cannot be cancelled by the user. Once the service is completed (QR code/confirmation delivered), all sales are final and non-refundable. However, if we fail to deliver within our guaranteed timeframe, you will receive an automatic full refund.

ScenarioRefund Eligibility
Order completed (QR code delivered)Non-refundable
Travel plans changedNon-refundable
User-provided incorrect informationNon-refundable
User wants to cancel an active orderNon-refundable (processing already started)
Delivery guarantee exceeded (24 hours)Automatic full refund
Technical failure on our partFull refund
Duplicate charge (system error)Full refund of duplicate
System malfunction (verified technical failure — see DSA Section 2)Full refund (must report within 30 days)

3.1 Why User-Initiated Cancellations Are Not Available

When you place an order on Vistumo, processing begins immediately. We begin the process of submitting your information and payment to the relevant government authority on your behalf. Because this process is initiated immediately upon payment and involves third-party government systems, orders cannot be cancelled by the user once placed.

Once the service is completed (i.e., your QR code or confirmation document has been delivered to you), the transaction is final and irrevocable. We cannot retrieve funds that have been transmitted to government systems.

3.2 Non-Refundable Items

Once the service is completed (QR code or confirmation delivered), the following are non-refundable under all circumstances:

  • Service fees charged by Vistumo
  • Tourist tax amounts transmitted to government authorities
  • Orders where incorrect information was provided by the user
  • Orders where travel plans changed after payment

3.3 Automatic Refund — Delivery Guarantee

If we are unable to deliver your QR code or confirmation document within 24 hours of successful payment (as confirmed by our payment processor), you will automatically receive a full refund (tourist tax amount plus service fee) to your original payment method. No action is required from you — the refund is triggered automatically. This guarantee does not apply where delivery failure is caused by an invalid, inaccessible, or incorrect email address provided by you.

4. No Right of Withdrawal

Important: Tourist tax payments are not subject to the 14-day right of withdrawal. At checkout, you are required to tick an unticked checkbox expressly requesting immediate service commencement and acknowledging that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed (i.e., your QR code or confirmation document has been delivered). This consent is recorded and included in your order confirmation email.

This policy is in accordance with:

  • Turkish Law: Article 15/ğ of the Distance Contracts Regulation (Mesafeli Sözleşmeler Yönetmeliği), issued under Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 — exemption for digital services performed immediately with consumer consent
  • EU Law: Directive 2011/83/EU, Article 16(a) — exemption for service contracts fully performed with prior express consumer consent and acknowledgement of loss of withdrawal right

Please note that this waiver of the right of withdrawal is only valid if you provided your express consent at checkout by ticking the required checkbox. Your consent is recorded and included in your order confirmation email.

5. Refund Process

5.1 Automatic Refunds (Delivery Guarantee)

If your order is not completed within the 24-hour delivery guarantee, the refund is processed automatically. You do not need to contact us or take any action. You will receive an email notification when the refund is initiated.
