Communication with the Service Provider
  1. We may help you communicate with your Service Provider, but we can’t guarantee that they’ll read anything from you, or that they’ll do what you ask. In itself, the fact that you contact them, or that they contact you, doesn’t mean you have any grounds for legal action.
Measures against unacceptable behaviour
  1. We have the right to stop you making any Bookings, to cancel any Bookings you’ve already made, and/or to stop you using our Platform, our Customer Service, and/or your Account. Of course, we’ll only do this if, in our opinion, there’s a good reason to - for example:● fraud or abuse ● non-compliance with Our values, or with applicable laws or regulations ● inappropriate or unlawful behaviour (e.g. violence, threats or invasion of privacy) in relation to us, any of the companies we work with – or anyone else, for that matter.
  2. If we cancel a Booking as a result, you won’t be entitled to a refund. We may tell you why we've cancelled your Booking, unless telling you would (a) contravene applicable laws and/or (b) prevent or obstruct the detection or prevention of fraud or other illegal activities. If you believe we have incorrectly cancelled your Booking, please contact our Customer Service team.
Limitation of liability
  1. To the extent permitted by mandatory consumer law, we’ll only be liable for costs you incur as a direct result of a failure on our behalf. This means, to the extent permitted by law, we won’t be liable for (e.g.) any:● indirect loss or indirect damage ● inaccurate information about a Service Provider ● product, service or action of a Service Provider or other business partner ● mistake in an email address, phone number or credit card number (unless it’s our fault) ● force majeure or event beyond our control.
  2. If you are in breach of these Terms and/or the Service Provider’s terms, to the extent permitted by law:● we won’t be liable for any costs you incur as a result, and ● you won’t be entitled to any refund.
  3. To the extent permitted by law, the most that we, or any Service Provider, will be liable for (whether for one event or a series of connected events) is the cost of your Booking, as set out in your confirmation email.
  4. Nothing in these terms will limit our (or the Service Provider’s) liability in respect of our (or their) own (i) negligence that leads to death or personal injury or (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
  5. We don’t make any promises about Service Providers’ products and services (apart from what we expressly state in these Terms). Making the right choice(s) is entirely your responsibility.
  6. Just to make it clear: nothing in these Terms will entitle any third party other than the Service Provider to anything.
  7. You may be protected by mandatory consumer protection laws and regulations, which guarantee you rights that no company’s terms can overrule. In that case, our liability is determined not just by these Terms, but also by any applicable consumer protection laws and regulations.
What if something goes wrong?
  1. If you have a query or complaint, please contact our Customer Service team. You can do this by accessing your Booking, or through our app, or through our Help Centre (where you’ll also find some useful FAQs). You can help us help you as quickly as possible - by providing:● your Booking confirmation number, your contact details, your PIN code (if you have one) and the email address you used when you made your Booking ● a summary of the issue, including how you’d like us to help you ● any supporting documents (bank statement, pictures, receipts, etc.)
