Terms of Use

1 Preamble

(1) Company name and address: Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L., CIF. B76288430, Calle Mediterranea num. 2, numero 26A, 35100 Meloneras, Gran Canaria Canary Islands / Spain, phone +34 871 575 674
(2) Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. – hereafter Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. – operates a booking platform for touristic excursions, tours and activities under the domain www.Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L..com. Visitors of the platform can browse offers of providers of touristic services and make bookings on this platform. In this process, Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. acts purely as a broker between the visitor of the platform who is making a booking (the customer) and the provider of the service. Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. is not a contracting party in the contract between the visitor/customer and the provider of the touristic activities and services.
(3) Only the following terms and conditions in their current revision at the time of each booking shall apply. Other, potentially conflicting terms and conditions of both the visitor/customer as well as the provider shall not apply.
(4) Besides these general terms and conditions, the usage of this booking platform is governed by the current terms of use and our privacy policy, which can be found under “terms of use and privacy policy”.

2 Booking process

(1) The presentation of the products and services on the Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. booking platform does not constitute a legally binding offer to conclude a sales agreement but rather a nonbinding online catalogue. By clicking on the button “place order” the customer / visitor is placing a binding order / booking for the tours and services in the shopping cart and confirms the accuracy and correctness of the provided data.
(2) Upon successful booking and payment, Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. immediately confirms the receipt of the booking request and the payment by the customer with a confirmation email and informs the provider of the booked tour or service of the request.
(3) From this point of time onwards, the provider has a maximum of 48 hours to accept or reject the request. In case of acceptance, the contract between the customer and the provider is bindingly concluded. The confirmation of this acceptance and the delivery of the object of purchase (voucher for the provider’s service or offering) by email to the customer is the proof of the acceptance of the offer by the provider. In the unusual event of a rejection of the offer by the provider, no contract is concluded between the provider and the customer and Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. will refund the customer the full booking price.

3 Cancellation rules

(1) The customer may cancel the booking/order without giving any reasons within 14 days in written form (e.g. by mail, email, fax) or – if already received - by sending back the ordered items. The stated period starts with the receipt of these terms and conditions in written form, but no earlier than the receipt of the ordered items.
(2) If a date and/or a timeframe have been agreed upon for the booked activity or service, the above cancellation rule is precluded. However, our customer friendly cancellation rules as explained in §4 (7) still apply.
(3) In case of a valid cancellation, all payments will be refunded based on the rules and all received items have to be sent back. Refunds will be made within 30 days.

4 Provision of services: terms and conditions of the providers of touristic services

(1) The provider delivers the agreed upon services on his / her own account, responsibility and liability.
(2) The contract between the customer and the provider is concluded by the acceptance of the customer’s booking request by the provider (cf. §2 (3)).
(3) The customer is responsible for being at the agreed upon meeting point on time.
(4) The provider may require certain conditions to be met by the customer for the successful participation in the booked activities such as e.g. having certain drivers’ licenses. Theses preconditions can be found in the description of the respective activities and tours on the booking platform. The customer is responsible for meeting and adhering to these preconditions. The provider reserves the right to refuse admittance to or to exclude a customer from a tour or activity if these conditions are not met. In such a case, the price of the ticket cannot be refunded. If in doubt, we recommend to consult Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. and / or the provider for the exact conditions and requirements for participating in the activity or tour.
(5) Furthermore, the provider may refuse admittance to or to exclude a customer from a tour or activity if the customer may endanger himself / herself or others or by any other means interrupt or endanger the activity. In such a case, the price of the ticket cannot be refunded.
(6) The price as shown on the Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. booking platform does not - unless stated explicitly - include any insurance. The customer is solely responsible for ensuring an adequate level of insurance for the selected activity.
(7) If the booking has been made for a defined date and / or time and if there are no separate cancellation guidelines in the description on the booking platform or on the ticket, the following guidelines apply:
Cancellation up to 5 days before the start of the booked activity/tour: full refund
Cancellation less than 5 days before the start of the booked activity/tour or no-show: no refund
If the customer is unable to participate in a tour / activity at the booked date, the provider and Gran Canaria Boat Trips S.L. will attempt to find an alternative date for the customer in order to avoid a cancellation or a no-show.
(8) The provider may cancel a tour or activity on short notice if weather conditions, regulatory actions, or unforeseeable external circumstances make it impossible, dangerous or otherwise unacceptable to carry out the tour / activity. In such a case, the ticket price will be fully refunded while at the same time precluding any liability for compensation or other demands based on whatever legal basis.
(9) Furthermore, the provider reserves the right to make minor changes to the tour or the activity if this is necessary due to unforeseeable or uncontrollable circumstances.
(10) The provider shall be liable for his / her services according to the applicable local law. If admissible by local law, all liability shall be excluded.
(11) The legal relationship between the customer and the provider of touristic activities and services is governed by the applicable local law.
