It is hereby specified that the Customer shall have the option to cancel the reservation request as long as it has not been confirmed by the Partner. Such cancellation must be performed online on the Customer Account.

Gift Voucher

The Gift Voucher shall be valid for a period of 12 months from the date of its purchase by the Customer, with the reserved Activity date being used as reference. It is hereby expressly specified that the Gift Voucher shall be specific to the selected Partner and Activity and may not be used to reserve other different or similar Activities offered by other Partners.

When the Contract is formed, the Customer shall receive a reservation summary for the reserved Activity. Such reservation summary shall include the primary characteristics for the reserved Activity (number of people, place, date, time, meeting place, Partner name, Activity name, etc.).

The Customer, or one of the Participants, must remit the reservation summary to the Partner when the Activity begins.

The Site and the Service allow Users and Customers to find out the prices for Activities and conduct payment in a certain number of currencies which may be selected.

Should the currency selected by the User or Customer for display or the payment for the Activity price be different than the currency accepted by the Partner selling the Activity, it is hereby specified that the price displayed and retained shall be the result of a conversion of the Activity price into the currency selected by the User or Customer.

In this case, the conversion rate applied shall be a market rate, calculated on the basis of the previous day’s rate, provided by a specialized service provider independent of CBCM. Regarding payment, the reference rate shall be that applicable on the reservation request date.

Customer payment in certain currencies may be subject to additional transaction fees automatically taken into account in the conversion rate used to display Activity prices. For more information regarding the relevant currencies, Users and Customers may contact CBCM at: cbcm.islands@outlook.com

Cancellation by the Partner
The Partner may cancel an Activity if circumstances beyond its control make Activity performance impossible or dangerous, such as poor weather conditions or an injured instructor.

Partners shall inform Customer and/or Participant of such situations immediately or as soon as practically possible.

Where appropriate, the Partner may offer the Customer a change in the date selected for Activity performance. Should the Customer refuse said offer, the terms and conditions applicable for an Activity cancellation by the Partner shall apply, and the Customer may claim full reimbursement of the Activity price, excluding any indemnities.

Reimbursement of the sums paid by the Customer for said Activity shall be made without undue delay from the time information is received from the Partner regarding the cancellation.
