GENERAL BOOKING CONDITIONS

Any booking enquiry sent by the Consumer through the Sites shall be deemed to be the Consumer's intention to purchase a particular product or service. The Consumer will be contacted within a reasonable period of time by e-mail to confirm the availability of the requested Product or Service, the booking conditions, the total price involved, payment details, and to provide any requested information. Once this e-mail has been sent, the Consumer's request for a booking is deemed to be registered and this document shall take effect.

If you notice on any of the Sites references to special offersPlease read these terms and conditions carefully, and use the contact details to request full information before making a booking.

 

GENERAL POLICY ON CANCELLATIONS AND AMENDMENTS

If the Customer wishes to cancel or modify a booked or purchased Service, it is his/her responsibility to inform Sail Armada in writing.

In situations where Sail Armada is acting as an Agent and the Consumer's offer or contract is with another entity, such as a Charter Firm, those terms present in that contract will apply. The Consumer agrees to abide by them and to have no claims of any kind against Sail Armada. The Consumer also assumes that, in certain cases, according to those clauses, it is possible that certain Services cannot be cancelled or modified, in which case he assumes the penalties and consequences, including but not limited to financial ones.

In situations where Sail Armada is acting on its own behalf, cancellations and amendments may be made in accordance with the Terms and Conditions herein and subject to the booking conditions specific to the respective category of service. Sail Armada will use its best endeavours to assist the Consumer with the requested changes or cancellations, within the limits imposed by clauses already agreed in writing between the parties. Sail Armada reserves the right to apply certain fees to cover administrative costs that may result from the actions requested by the Consumer.

Sail Armada incurs costs from the moment a booking is confirmed. For this reason, after payment of the first instalment cancellation with full refund of the amounts paid by the Consumer is not possible. The Services will become available for booking again and full refund can only be made in the event that the service is booked by another Consumer.

A Consumer who is unable to travel to take advantage of a booked Service, has the possibility to transfer it to another Consumer with prior notice to Sail Armada and without charge. Such transfers may be made up to one week prior to the commencement date of the relevant Service. Transfers of this nature also involve any outstanding balance. The new Consumer will become the holder of the service and therefore of all the terms and obligations of the original Consumer.

Certain Services available through the Sail Armada Websites require a minimum number of participants to be operational. If the minimum number of bookings required for such Service is not reached, Sail Armada reserves the right to cancel it. Consumers with bookings for such Service will be notified accordingly and at a reasonable time in relation to the commencement date of the Service, and all monies paid by them will be refunded.

Sail Armada endeavours not to make changes and cancellations that have not been requested by the Consumer. A confirmed reservation, for which the Consumer has made partial or full payment, may be subject to cancellations and changes only if the minimum number of participants is not reached or in situations beyond Sail Armada's control.

Sail Armada endeavours to ensure that most of the changes made are minor and affect the Consumer as little as possible. Occasionally it may become necessary to make a significant change to a booking. This is a change that may have a major effect on the booking made by the Consumer, such as, but not limited to: changing the boat chosen to one of a lower class or of a different standard for all or a significant part of the holiday period; changing the location of the service to one that may be considered inconvenient. In the event that Sail Armada considers that such a change is necessary, the Consumer will be notified as soon as possible. Depending on the time remaining until the date of commencement of the service, Sail Armada may offer the Consumer one of the following options:

  • acceptance of the amended reservation;
  • accepting another reservation of the same type and quality as a replacement for the cancelled reservation
  • cancellation of the reservation or acceptance of cancellation if applicable, in which case you will receive a full and prompt refund of all monies paid to Sail Armada.

If the new booking is cheaper than the original, Sail Armada will refund the difference in price. The applicable price for a new booking may differ in value from the price of the original booking. The consumer will receive a refund if the new booking is cheaper and will pay the difference in price if the new booking is more expensive.

 

PAYMENT METHODS

Sail Armada may accept payment by bank or cash for its Products and Services, and cannot accept any responsibility for monies sent by courier, regardless of the method of sending them.

Any bank payment will be made to the Sail Armada accounts.

EURO ACCOUNT RO35INGB00000000999999991111234724, opened with ING Bank

RON ACCOUNT RO55INGB00000000999999991121121111375, opened at ING Bank

 

Depending on the booking conditions specific to each Service and depending on the terms and conditions imposed by the Charter Firms at the time of making a booking, the Consumer may be required to pay for all or part of the booked Service.

Sail Armada undertakes to clearly communicate the available payment options to the Consumer.

The consumer undertakes to inform Sail Armada clearly about the desired payment option.

Sail Armada will not transmit to the Consumer the documents related to the provision of a booked Service in the absence of fulfilment by the latter of the payment obligations and terms. For any booking made, the Consumer is solely responsible for the payment of the related amounts.

Any fees or commissions that may arise when paying by bank transfer are the responsibility of the Consumer.

If payment for a service is to be made from another person's account, Sail Armada must be informed in writing.

Sail Armada provides its services exclusively outside Romania, so rates are mainly expressed in EUR. Rates and fees may fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates when expressed in RON. Sail Armada reserves the right to use the VISA exchange rate for the conversion of values from EUR to RON.

 

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Sail Armada does not commercialise sailing insurance.

For your information, information about insurance options may appear on the website.

We recommend, as a general rule, that each Consumer should obtain travel insurance appropriate to their booking and including at least the following:

- emergency medical expenses, including, but not limited to, ambulance and repatriation costs;

- clauses relating to the cancellation or reduction of the duration of the contract;

- personal liability in respect of, among other things, individual or group damage caused by negligence in relation to the premises where you are staying.

- delays in travel and transport, which must include, inter alia, additional costs incurred in case of delay.

- The policy must include the activities you are likely to do, with particular reference to sailing;

- the policy must cover the entire period of the reservation up to the last day of the trip and it is preferable not to have a clause allowing the insurer to cancel the policy or change the terms due to medical reasons, unless there has been an individual underwriting with specific terms.

Note: There are, of course, other sections to a travel insurance policy, such as baggage, legal expenses, personal accident, natural disasters and so on. We encourage treating this subject responsibly.

Failure to obtain adequate insurance may mean that you assume full liability for all claims, costs and expenses involving your staff.

Please read the policy details carefully and take it with you on holiday. It is your responsibility to ensure that the policy you purchase is suitable and tailored to your specific needs.
