ARTICLE 14 - FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

14.1 - PRICES AND TAXES

The descriptions of the Services presented on the Site specify, for each Service, what is included in the price and any special conditions. The prices shown are those in effect at the time of booking.

[…]

In addition, unless expressly stated otherwise, all costs, whether personal or incidental to the Service, such as insurance, delivery costs for e-tickets, laundry charges, telephone bills, drinks, room service, use of sports facilities, tips that may be given to accompanying tour guides, drivers or local guides, anything of a personal nature and more generally any Service not expressly included In the Order summary.

Finally, when the order includes an accommodation Service, prices are calculated according to the number of nights, not the number of whole days.

The prices displayed on the site are for information purposes only. They do not represent any contractual commitment from THE COMPANY and may differ from the amount found by the Customer on other sites. They do not take into account any promotions that the Service Provider may offer directly.

THE COMPANY reserves the right, at its own discretion and according to its own terms and conditions, to offer promotional offers or price reductions.

14.2 - VALIDITY OF PRICES

The prices shown on the Site are valid at the time of their posting and are, in principle, valid for the current season. If the Customer's request is outside the price validity date, an adjustment may be necessary. The decision of THE COMPANY regarding this matter is final and non-negotiable. THE COMPANY reserves the right to modify its prices without prior notice, particularly in the event of changes in exchange rates, service rates or taxation.

14.3 – PAYMENT

All Orders are payable in euros.

Customer payment using a credit card or debit card and especially via the Internet does not imply a "physical" invoicing operation by THE COMPANY.[…]

[…]

THE COMPANY accepts the following payment methods: Carte Bleue, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Maestro, Bancontact/Mister Cash, Sofort, Discover, Paypal, Alipay, WechatPay, bank cheques and bank transfers. The processing of credit card payments does not any fees or commission. Full payment by credit card is required to make a reservation. The payment will appear under the name THE COMPANY on the card statement.

In the event of rejection of a bounced check by the bank of THE COMPANY, the entire costs will be borne by the Customer and he/she will be rebilled. Similarly, any payment by bank transfer must be made for the amount due, net of any commission or bank charges. The Customer must therefore ensure that his/her bank will take charge of these expenses at the time the transfer is carried out.

In the event of a partial or total refund for a Customer who has paid by Sofort or Bancontact/Mistercash, the Customer must use the contact form to send THE COMPANY a copy of his/her bank account details (IBAN) in order to be reimbursed by bank transfer.

No refund is possible for any service, tourist package, accommodation, meals or any other service which has already been used.

THE COMPANY reserves the right to ask its Customers for any document (identity document, passport, driving license) in order to verify their identity in the event of suspicion of fraud.

Payment by credit card

[…]

Inputting credit card details into the system constitutes an obligation to pay. Payment can only be reversed in the event of loss, theft or fraudulent use of the card. Apart from these cases, which are strictly admitted by the legislator, the cardholder is responsible for fraudulent use of the bank card. In particular, the right to object to payment cannot be used to compensate for the absence of a right of withdrawal (see Article 17 below).

Confidentiality and Security of payments

THE COMPANY has chosen an established and quality provider (Be2Bill) to manage its card transactions. The confidentiality of the information is ensured by the service provider chosen by THE COMPANY. It is solely responsible for the payment transactions and the confidentiality of the information provided by the Customer.

An SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol is used to encrypt information, meaning that the User has the best quality of service for the online payment. THE COMPANY shall not be held responsible in the event of a data transmission failure and in particular in the event of loss of data confidentiality.

ARTICLE 15 – PROOF

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 1316-2 of the Civil Code, it is expressly agreed that, unless THE COMPANY has made a manifest error, the data stored on the THE COMPANY information system and/or that of its partners and/or service providers, particularly on the electronic messaging tools used, has conclusive force in relation to Orders placed and the fulfilment of the obligations of the parties. The computerised or electronic data thus stored constitutes evidence, and if it is produced as a means of proof by THE COMPANY in any contentious or other proceedings, it shall be admissible, valid and enforceable between the parties in the same way, under the same conditions and with the same probative force as any document which would be established, received or retained in writing.

ARTICLE 16 - RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

In accordance with Article L 121-21-8, 12 of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for contracts "for the provision of accommodation services, other than residential accommodation, transport of goods, car rentals, catering or recreational activities to be provided on a specified date or during a specified period.”

Consequently, the Services ordered on the Site are subject exclusively to the conditions of cancellation and modification provided for in these general terms and conditions of sale and the User cannot invoke the right of withdrawal.

ARTICLE 17 – CANCELLATION – MODIFICATION

17.1 - WAYS AND MEANS OF CANCELLATION OR AMENDMENT BY THE SERVICE PROVIDER

THE COMPANY endeavours to do everything possible to ensure the smooth running of the Services sold to its Customers, without, however, being held responsible for any unforeseeable circumstances, causes of force majeure or situations created by third parties (particularly in the event of a strike). However, even in these latter cases, THE COMPANY will endeavour to find solutions to overcome any difficulties.

If, prior to the scheduled date, a Service is modified in a way which affects an essential part of the contract, the Customer may within 7 (seven) days of being notified:

  • Cancel the reservation (by post or e-mail only), in which case he/she will receive immediate reimbursement of all amounts paid;
  • Accept the proposed change. In this case, an amended e-ticket will be sent to him/her and an e-mail will be sent, specifying the modifications and the increase/decrease in the price.

The Customer shall not be entitled to any compensation if the cancellation of the Service is imposed by circumstances relating to the safety of the passengers. In addition, THE COMPANY cannot held responsible for its Service Providers, who retain in respect of any Customer their own general conditions as well as the responsibilities specific to their business activity under the statutes governing them, their national legislation or international conventions instituting among other things, a limitation of liability. THE COMPANY cannot be held responsible for the failures of its Service Providers, who may cancel or modify a service for technical reasons.

THE COMPANY also declines all responsibility in the event that the Services provided by THE COMPANY are not insured by the service providers […].

If it is impossible to cruise for any reason (mechanical failure, floods, bad weather, administrative prohibition, etc.), the COMPANY will apply the following rules:

  • if the itinerary of the cruise is modified: no refund or compensation will be due;
  • if it is impossible to sail (the boat remains at the dock): a cruise tour ticket will be offered to each client as compensation.

In the event of a no-show, 100% of the amount of the service will be charged to the Customer. Under no circumstances can the cancellation costs charged to the Customer be transferred to any other Service. Under no circumstances can any abandoned Service be reimbursed when the Customer fails to appear at the time and place indicated to him/her.

For special dates (especially 24th December and 31st December, 14th February, 14th July or any other special date as indicated on the Site), no modification or cancellation is possible and the total amount will be due in this case. No refunds can be requested from THE COMPANY.

Should you take out an insurance contract, the insurance policy you have selected can be accessed, before validation of the order, using the hyperlink "conditions of insurance" which appears on the confirmation page of the Order. It is your responsibility to read the insurance contract carefully (including the exclusions, limitations or conditions for the validity of the insurance) before taking out the insurance.

THE COMPANY wishes to remind the User of the fact that taking out any of the insurance contracts offered on the Site is final and therefore it will not be possible to amend the contract at a later date, to replace it or to cancel it.

In accordance with Order No. 2005-648 of 6th June 2005 on the distance marketing of financial services, no waiver rights apply to travel or luggage insurance policies (Article L 112-2-1 of the Insurance Code). The amount paid to take out the insurance policy remains systematically acquired and it is not possible to request reimbursement of this amount, except in case of termination by THE COMPANY without fault of the User. Claims are made directly to the insurance company, respecting the terms of the insurance contract taken out.

ARTICLE 19 – DISPUTES

[…]

Finally, it is up to the User to enquire, before placing any orders, about any local events such as carnivals, religious festivals, national holidays, public holidays, etc. which could affect the smooth running of the trip, it being specified that no complaint regarding this matter can later be addressed to the company THE COMPANY.
