By contracting the Services offered by Virotea Charter, the Customer fully and unreservedly accepts these General Conditions of Contract and the Special Conditions.
OBJECT OF THE SERVICE AND THE CONTRACT
Virotea Charter provides intermediation services (through the management of reservations) in the rental of pleasure boats. Through www.viroteacharter.com the customer makes the reservation of the lease, and then, if necessary, hires the rental of a boat with the final service provider, under the conditions stipulated with the same, in exchange for the agreed price. Virotea Charter additionally deals and has contracted by the final service provider, the management of collection of the lease.
All the boats that appear in www.viroteacharter.com are offered by Virotea Charter as a mediator, and its responsibility is limited to put the customer in contact with the final service provider, which is solely and directly responsible for the provision of such service. Virotea Charter is not responsible for the provision of the service and, therefore, does not guarantee, nor is it responsible for the non-compliance or non-exact fulfillment of the service contracted by the final service provider, which is the one with whom the customer contracts. However, Virotea Charter informs that it expressly requests to all final service providers a good performance of the service, in full compliance with industry standards and the lease contract. Failure to comply with this obligation by the final service providers, implies that Virotea Charter may decide not to count on them at www.viroteacharter.com.
The final service provider entrusts Virotea Charter to manage the collection of the client for the contracted rental services, as well as the blocking of the corresponding reservation. The hiring of other services or extras, as well as the deposit to be provided, will also be agreed between the customer and the final service provider, but in this case charged directly by the latter.
The customer expressly accepts this limitation of responsibility of Virotea Charter and that, consequently, Virotea Charter is only responsible for the management and formalization of the reservation of the chosen boat, and the management of collection of booking and leasing, according to the conditions and parameters established and the characteristics announced. The customer knows that the final service provider may not be able to accept the reservation, in which case Virotea Charter will offer the customer alternative boats or a full refund of the amount paid.
Although we try to make the service as accurate as possible to what is published in www.viroteacharter.com, we can not verify or guarantee that all information is accurate, complete or correct. The final service provider is responsible for the information (prices, configuration, features, extras, etc.) included on the website regarding their boats. Virotea Charter does not verify such information and, consequently, it is the sole responsibility of the final service provider that this information is true and correct. The customer agrees that any claim in this regard shall be made directly and exclusively against the final service provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we inform you that Virotea Charter requires the final service providers that the information they provide is correct.
RESERVATION AND PAYMENT
The reservation of the boat will not be effective until the customer has paid 50% of the total amount of the rental, not considering any boat firmly committed until such payment is made.
