On 27/06/2021, I purchased return flight tickets Zurich-Oslo-Tromso for 08/12/2021. On 23/09/2021 3 of the 4 flights were cancelled by the airlines, making the
ticket unusable. Later, also the 4th flight was cancelled. Kiwi.com
always refused to refund money, they offered me "alternative flights"
which needed an extra payment higher than the one for buying new
ones. I obviously refused that and here we are.
They also have received the refunds for all the 4 flights from the airlines, as I personally confirmed with the airlines, however they prefer to remain with my money. They say that "they have provided the service I paid for"...!
Return flight
Full refund of the paid amount as all the flights were cancelled (by the
airlines, not by me) and all airlines also cancelled and refunded the paid
amounts. There is really no reason for Kiwi.com to keep that
money.

We are not sure, if this legal relationship will follow the Czech law because we do not know the details. We will assume that this will be that case.
As we know, Kiwi.com, s.r.o. acts in legal relations with consumers as intermediary. As a result, consumer should request refund directly from airline company.
The issue of cancelled flights is dealt by Flight Compensation Regulation (261/2004; available here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=celex:32004R0261). The airline company is obliged to get refund to consumer in 7 days by Article 8(1).
If the dispute cannot be resolved by conciliation, consumer can file a complaint in Union "Consumer dispute resolution" at YourEurope (available here: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/consumers-dispute-resolution/out-of-court-procedures/index_en.htm).
If the money are at Kiwi.com, s.r.o., consumer can also file a complaint in Alternative Dispute Resolution at Czech Trade Inspectorate (https://www.coi.cz/en/information-about-adr/).
