If you cancel your requested booking for Local Services before you have received confirmation of your booking from the Company, we will cancel any pre-authorisation to your credit card and/or refund any nominal amounts charged to your credit card in connection with the requested booking within a reasonable time if possible.

If you cancel your requested booking for Local Services after you have received a Booking Confirmation, the following will apply:

If you cancel a booking that only includes time with a Local Host more than 7 days before the commencement of the services being provided to you, we will refund 100% of the Total Fees to you. No refunds will be made if you cancel less than 7 days before commencement of the services being provided to you.

If you cancel a booking that includes extras such as food, transport, tickets to attractions etc. more than 14 days before the commencement of the services being provided to you, we will refund 100% of the Total Fees to you less the costs of any tickets, transport and food costs that may have already been purchased on your behalf. No refunds will be made if you cancel less than 14 days before commencement of the services being provided to you.

If a Local cancels a booking after you have received a Booking Confirmation we may nominate as a suitable replacement another of the Company’s approved Locals to provide the Services you requested on their behalf. If we are unable to find a suitable replacement we will refund the Total Fees to you in full.

For bookings made through our Booking Services with a Third Party the cancellation and refund policies within the Third Party’s terms and conditions will be applicable, normally this means that no refunds are possible.
