In any and all payments and refunds to be made by the Service Provider, the Booking Currency equivalent of the payment received on the Booking or Booking Request date is taken as basis. The Service Provider is not responsible for any change in the exchange rates. For the Boats listed in Turkey, Booking Currency is TL whereas Base Currency, mostly, is Euro. The Euro prices are converted into TL based on the foreign exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey in effect at the date of payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Members make any and all payments in TL equivalent of the Euro in effect on the date of payment for the Boats listed in Turkey. In any and all payments and returns to be made by Viravira, the Booking Currency equivalent of the payment received on the date of Booking or Booking Request will be taken as basis. Viravira will not be responsible for any change in the exchange rates. Users can view the Booking Fee of any Boat in any of the Listing Currency alternatives provided by the Service Provider on the Website. Rounding Off Service Provider may, in its sole discretion, round up or round down amounts that are payable from or to Renters or Boat Owners to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated (e.g. to the nearest TL, Euro or other supported currency); for example, Viravira will round up an amount of TRY101.50 to TRY102.00, and round down an amount of EUR101.49 to EUR101.00.
When a Boat Owner creates a Listing, he must specify the cancellation and modification status of that particular Listing by choosing either one of the Cancellation and Modification Options set by the Service Provider. All the dates with regards to booking process and Cancellation and Modification Options are determined by the local time of the Boat unless otherwise stated in the Agreement. Each Boat or Listing posted on the Website can only be subject to either one of the below Cancellation and Modification Options: Option – 1: Flexible Booking A flexible booking can be cancelled free of charge within 3 days after the booking confirmation. After the end of the free cancellation period, up until the delivery of the boat, the booking can be cancelled by paying advance payment. As of Long Stop Date, reservation becomes definite with no refund of payments in case of a cancellation; (if any) the ongoing free cancellation right terminates. Option – 2: Semi-Flexible Booking A flexible booking can be cancelled free of charge within 3 days after the booking confirmation. After the end of the free cancellation period, up until 3 days prior to the rental period (Long Stop Date), the booking can be cancelled by paying advance payment. As of Long Stop Date, reservation becomes definite with no refund in case of a cancellation; (if any) the ongoing free cancellation right terminates. Option – 3: Strict Booking A flexible booking can be cancelled free of charge within 3 days after the booking confirmation. After the end of the free cancellation period, up until 14 days prior to the rental period (Long Stop Date), the booking can be cancelled by paying advance payment. As of Long Stop Date, reservation becomes definite with no refund in case of a cancellation; (if any) the ongoing free cancellation right terminates. Option – 4: Super Strict Booking A flexible booking can be cancelled free of charge within 3 days after the booking confirmation. After the end of the free cancellation period, up until 30 days prior to the rental period (Long Stop Date), the booking can be cancelled by paying advance payment. As of Long Stop Date, reservation becomes definite with no refund in case of a cancellation; (if any) the ongoing free cancellation right terminates. Modifying a Booking by changing the date, the Boat or Listing preference is not possible. In that case, the Renter must cancel his Booking and make a new Booking Request for the desired Boat or Listing. If, as a Boat Owner, you cancel a confirmed Booking, you agree that Service Provider may apply penalties or consequences to you or your Listing, including (i) publishing an automated review on your Listing indicating that a booking was cancelled, (ii) keeping the calendar for your Listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, or (iii) imposing a cancellation fee. In this case, the Boat Owner shall be aware that the Renter attached to the cancelled Booking will have the right to post his/her reviews on the Website and may negatively impact the overall ranking of the Boat Owner by doing so. In case a Boat Owner cancels a particular Booking, the Advance Payment will be refunded to the Renter. The amount equal to the Service Charge applying to that particular Booking will be charged to the particular Boat Owner during the next Booking he/she receives. In that case, the payment to be made to Boat Owner for the next Booking following the cancelled Booking will be Booking Fee less the Service Charge less the Service Charge applying to the previously cancelled Booking and/or Bookings. If a Boat Owner cancels a confirmed Booking, the Service Provider, at its sole discretion, may help the Renter find a new Boat but has no obligation whatsoever to provide a replacement Boat to the Renter or offer a make-up option for the cancelled Booking. If the Renter is not present on the Check-in Date to take delivery of the Boat without a cancellation, no fee is refundable to the Renter. In case of a Boat Owner failing to deliver the Boat, the Service Provider returns the payments made via Website to the Renter and helps the Renter in finding a new Boat with similar features. The Service Charge, which would have been charged by Service Provider to the Boat Owner, is deducted from the payments to be made to the Boat Owner for future Bookings. In case of a late delivery of the Boat by a Boat Owner to a Renter, the Boat Owner and the Renter try to solve the problem among themselves. In the absence of an agreement, the Renter contacts and informs the Service Provider. In case of a delay in delivery that exceeds four (4) hours, the Renter has the right to cancel the Booking and get a refund of the paymenst made via Website minus the Service Charge. Refunding the Service Charge to the Renter is at the sole discretion of the Service Provider. In case of refunding the Service Charge to the Renter, the Service Charge, which would have been charged by Service Provider to the Boat Owner, is deducted from the payments to be made to the Boat Owner for future Bookings. In case of the Boat delivered not being the one whose details had been posted in the Listing, the Renter has the right to cancel the Booking without paying any cancellation fees. To benefit from this right, the Renter should send the Service Provider photographs that prove the claim that the Boat delivered does not match the listed Boat. If and when the Renter submits the necessary imagery supporting the mismatch, Service Provider, at its sole discretion, may help the Renter to find a Boat with similar features as the one desired. In case of the failure to find a new Boat, the payments made via Website minus the Service Charge is refunded to the Renter. Refunding the Service Charge to the Renter is at the sole discretion of the Service Provider. In case of refunding the Service Charge to the Renter, the Service Charge, which would have been charged by Service Provider to the Boat Owner, is deducted from the payments to be made to the Boat Owner for future Bookings.
