Subject of Service and Contract
Butterfly Sailing provides brokerage services (by managing bookings) in the leisure boat charters. Through Butterfly Sailing, the client books the charter, and if applicable, rents a boat to the final service provider, in accordance with the terms and the price agreed with the provider. Butterfly Sailing acts as a mediator and its responsibility is limited to bringing into contact the client with the final service provider, who is solely and directly responsible for the provision of the service. Butterfly Sailing is not responsible for the provision of the service and, therefore, does not have the obligation to answer in the event of the non-fulfillment or the incomplete fulfillment of the contracted service with the final service provider, with whom the client has contracted the service. Nevertheless, Butterfly Sailing informs that all the final service providers have been explicitly requested to meet the requirements of the service, according to the sector standards and to the rental contract. The non-fulfillment of this obligation by the final service providers implies that Butterfly Sailing may exclude them from butterfly-sailing.com. The final service provider explicitly entrusts Butterfly Sailing with the task of collecting the rental payment for the contracted service, as well as blocking the part of the amount agreed. Other services, extras, and the deposit will be agreed between the client and the final service provider, but in this case, they will be charged by the latter. The client expressly accepts this limitation of liability of Butterfly Sailing and, in consequence, Butterfly Sailing is only responsible for managing and formalizing the booking of the chosen boat, and of managing the payment of the deposit and the rental, according to the conditions and measures established and the characteristics advertised. The client acknowledges that the final service provider may not accept the booking, in which case Butterfly Sailing will offer the client alternative boats or the full refund of the amount blocked and/or paid. Although we aim to perform the service as advertised on butterfly-sailing.com, we cannot verify or guarantee that all the information is precise, complete or correct. The final service provider is responsible for the information about boats (prices, configuration, features, extras, etc.) included on butterfly-sailing.com. Butterfly Sailing does not verify this information and, therefore, the final service provider is the only party responsible for the veracity and accuracy of such information. The client accepts that any complaint in this sense will be made directly and exclusively against the final service provider. Without prejudice to it, we inform you that Butterfly Sailing requests the final service providers to give accurate and correct information; otherwise, they may be excluded from butterfly-sailing.com. For any incident, we recommend being reported to info@butterfly-sailing.com. The rental contract will have the duration stated in the rental booking form, without prejudice to being subject to the contract regulation to subscribe to the final service provider. Any change in its duration should be informed to Butterfly Sailing.
