By clicking to accept these terms and conditions (“our web site”) you agree to be legally bound by these terms and conditions as they may be modified and posted on our web site from time to time. You also agree to be bound by any other terms and conditions applicable to this transaction.
1.2 Without prejudice to the above, by using or accessing our web site, you agree to be legally bound by these terms and conditions of use as they apply to your use of or access to our web site.
1.3 If you do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions then you may not use our web site. These Terms and Conditions for the use of this Site shall be read in conjunction with the other agreements entered into between the parties.
2. Nature of our web site
2.1 Our web site is a place to select and order travel Services provided by an Accommodation Provider (“Accommodation Provider”) (the “Services”). Our web site describes the Services in more detail. If you are an Accommodation Provider then our site enables you to offer your holidays (availabilities) to the public.
2.2 This Site enables you to make a contract with a third party. We are acting as an agent in connection with that contract unless we expressly state otherwise.
2.3 Please note that the contents of our web site are aimed at users aged 18 and above, but you must be over 18 years to purchase the Services, using the payment method displayed on our web site. Where a travel agent (“Travel Agent”) or a traveller (“Guest”) places an order with an Accommodation Provider then this web site merely acts as a portal to connect the two parties together so that they may contract direct with each other. You will only be contracting with us directly where we expressly say so on the website. We will not receive or hold money, but you will pay direct to the Accommodation Provider.
3. Buying Services on our web site
3.1 To order Services you will need to follow the ordering procedures set out here.
3.2 Details of the prices for the Services are displayed on the web site. You must pay by credit or debit card at the time of order or any other means as agreed with the Accommodation Provider. The price of any Services is the price in force at the date and time of your order. The Accommodation Provider may change the price of any Services before you place an order. We try to ensure that the prices displayed on our web site are accurate but the price on your order will need to be validated as part of the acceptance procedure (see clause 3.3 below).
3.3 Booking-Yacht.com is entitled to refuse any order placed by you through our systems. If your order is accepted by the Accommodation Provider then acceptance will be confirmed to you by electronic means (“Confirmation”).
3.4 If the Services you ordered are unavailable, then where appropriate you may be provided with a substitute (‘Substitute Services’) or a refund may be provided by the Accommodation Provider.
3.5 You undertake that all details you provide to us for the purpose of purchasing Services from the Accommodation Provider which may be offered via our web site will be correct, that the credit or debit card, or any electronic cash, which you use is your own and that there are sufficient funds or credit facilities to cover the cost.
3.6 You must agree to these terms (as amended) each time you use the system.
3.7 You will also be bound by the Accommodation Provider’s terms and conditions and you should be aware that there may be extra or additional charges, taxes, currency fluctuation charges and other charges payable in addition to the price quoted on the site.
4. Reservation and Cancellation
4.1 Our service is free of charge. We will not charge you for our service or add any additional (reservation) fees to the room rate. In some cases, in order to confirm a reservation with Booking-Yacht.com you are agreeing to pay a Non-Refundable/Non-Transferable X% Deposit (stated clearly at the payment process) of the total accommodation cost online, as mentioned in the hotel booking terms. You are responsible to the accommodation to pay the remaining X% of the cost of the accommodation in addition to any taxes or charges specified by the accommodation.
4.2 Accommodation providers require credit card details in order to guarantee your reservation. Your credit card information is sent directly to the yacht you reserve. When you make a booking you will automatically enter into an agreement with the accommodation provider you have chosen. Please be assured that some accommodation providers can charge your credit card while booking and some not. So you should check the hotel’s policies carefully. Be assured that we take our responsibility regarding your credit card information very seriously. We use the industry standard “Secure Socket Layer (SSL)” technology to encrypt your credit card details. Therefore we can guarantee that every transaction made is 100% safe.
4.3 Please follow the instructions in the confirmation email in case you need to cancel your stay. If you cancel according to the cancellation policy of the accommodation provider, it will be free of charge. We recommend you read the cancellation policy of the hotel carefully. If you cancel later than requested by the accommodation provider or do not show up, the accommodation provider might charge you a fee which is in most cases the equivalent of one night’s stay. Note, we don’t charge you any cancellation fees whatsoever. But some hotels may charge your credit card. You should check the accommodation provider’s policies.
4.4 By completing a booking, you agree to receive (i) an email which we may send you shortly before your arrival date, giving you information on your destination and providing you with certain information and offers (including third party offers to the extent that you have actively opted in for this information) relevant to your booking and destination, and (ii) an email which we may send to you promptly after your stay at the yacht inviting you to complete our guest review form. Other than the email confirmation providing for the confirmation of the booking, the guest review invitation and the emails for which you may have actively opted in, we shall not send you any further (solicited or unsolicited) notices, emails or correspondence, unless you specifically agree otherwise.
4.5 The completed guest review may be (a) uploaded onto the relevant hotel’s information page on our website for the sole purpose of informing (future) customers of your opinion of the service (level) and quality of the hotel, and (b) (wholly or partly) used and placed by Booking-Yacht.com at its sole discretion (e.g. for marketing, promotion or improvement of our service) on our website or such social media platforms, newsletters, special promotions, apps or other channels owned, hosted, used or controlled by Booking-Yacht.com.
