3.34The default setting of the ranking of Suppliers on our Platform is 'Zizoo Recommended' (or any similar wording); this is the Default Ranking. Please note that the Default Ranking is created through a complex ever-changing and evolving system, referred to as an algorithm, that considers a multitude of criteria in order to match searchers and vessels in an optimal way. The actual ranking will be different for each Guest and for each search as there are many criteria included, for example, the popularity of a vessel among our guests (e.g. guest reviews), customer service history (including the number and type of guest complaints), certain booking-related data (e.g. number of bookings, cancellations, conversion rate, availability, etc.) and the past browsing activities of a visitor. The Service fee is also included in the algorithm of the Default Ranking. Please note that for convenience we also offer other ways to rank Charters. A customer can choose to rank for example a vessel on the basis of lowest price first, highest price first, review scores and discounts. A Guest thus has full control on the presentation of the search results.
3.35The Service Provider has the right to withhold any monies not yet forwarded in case it deems the booking of the Guest at risk of cancellation, refund or in case it believes on reasonable grounds that the Charter is not in compliance with any of its obligations under 3.
3.36Each booking is a separate booking and its payments, fees and services are independent of other bookings with the Charter. In case of any dispute related to a single booking, the Charter has no right to endanger other Guest´s bookings. The Charter is obliged to credit payments based of the Guest to each specific booking and is not allowed to credit other Guest´s bookings with payments from another booking.
3.37The Charter is under no circumstances allowed to not allow a Guest´s check-in in case of a dispute linked to another booking. In such cases, the Service Provider and the Guest have the right to demand the Charter the refund of the full Booking Fee to be paid within 24 hours and all the associated damages caused to the Guest in such an event. In such an event the Guest obliges itself in such an event to directly claim from the Charter a refund with all associated damages and ask the Service Provider for support.
3.38It is clear that the Service Provider as an intermediary between the Guest and the Charter and its Service Fee for intermediation is non-refundable. After the booking has been accepted, the Charter and the Guest must ensure directly that the rental contract between the Charter and the Guest is signed. The Charter is responsible to notify the Service Provider in case part of the Guest payment is missing.
3.39It is confirmed by the Charter and the Guest that the Service Provider's Service fee is non-refundable. The Service Provider is free from any liability linked to non-payment in full by the Guest to the Charter of the Booking Fee (net of any charges or Rolling Reserve deposit) resulting in an issue with the booking or cancellation by the Charter or failure to provide rental service by the Charter to the Guest. It is acknowledged the Service Provider's liability is limited to the Service and not linked to the rental contract itself.
3.40The Service Provider has a right to withhold any monies to the Charter from future payments in case the Charter has not paid its Service fee or has not refunded a claimed chargeback by the Guest. As long as there is a claim from the Service Provider to the Charter, the Service Provider is allowed to net it of future payments to the Charter.
3.41The Charter is obliged to send a rental agreement for the Booking to the Guest within 7 days of accepting the Booking. The Service Provider is not part of that agreement and has no liability or obligations linked to it.
3.42The Payment Provider has a right to impose a Rolling Reserve deposit calculated as a % of the from any payment done by the Cient. The Rolling Reserve will be held by the Payment Provider for a certain period and then released in case no chargeback is done by the Guest for the specific booking.
3.43Rolling Reserve deposit will be deducted from the total payment to be done to the Charter by the Service Provider from first or second installment. The Charter hereby agrees that they consent to the Payment Provider holding Rolling Reserve as a security for future bookings and might hold them up to 6 months after the check-in occured. The Charter has no right to cancel any booking in case the Payment Provider has not yet released the Rolling Reserve for the particular booking.
3.44The Service Provider bears no responsibility for occasional interruptions of service or payment processing by the Payment Provider for any reason. In case that occurs, the Charter will ensure that the trips are not affected even in case for that reason the Charter does not receive the entire payment of the Booking Fee.

4. Payments

4.1

For online payments, the use of credit cards, and the use of electronic money on our website, we refer to our provider and payment partner Stripe (legal name Stripe Payments Europe, Limited (SPEL))  and its terms of service. By accepting our terms and conditions, the customer accepts the terms and conditions of Stripe which can be read here:

https://stripe.com/en-de/legal/consumer

 

4.2If a customer decides to rent a rental via the website, he/she agrees and acknowledges that he/she will have to pay the full reservation fee indicated in the rental listing on the website. This payment is mandatory only in the event that the charter approves the reservation request for the particular reservation as described in these terms and conditions.
4.3If payment is made in installments, as described in these Terms and Conditions, the Customer's payment card will be charged according to the amount of such installments.
4.4

We will make sure that Charters either accept or reject a Guests booking request.

The Customer may also pay by bank transfer, but only through the Service Provider and only for reservations with an arrival date of more than 21 days from the reservation date. If bank transfer is the chosen method of payment, the guest must pay via the Service Provider to the bank account indicated on the website at the time of payment. Payment by bank transfer must be made within 72 hours. In case of payment in installments as described above, several bank transfers will be made accordingly.

4.5Prices are confirmed at the last step of the booking process, when the customer clicks on "book", "book now", "create option", or similar, depending on the payment page, and the customer will have all the necessary information on the final total price before paying. Prices are quoted in Eur(€) with exchange rates calculated on a daily basis. Prices may therefore vary daily to reflect any movement in exchange rates. When a reservation is made, the exchange rate is set at that time and applies to any changes or cancellations to that element of the reservation. Exchange rates are determined by the Service Provider. When a guest pays later, for example when the Service Provider receives the charter price in a currency other than Euro and converts it to Euro, the applicable exchange rate will be that applied by the guest's card provider at the time of payment. The Service Provider only bears part of the currency risk for pragmatical reasons to facilitate payments. The Service Provider has the right to apply the actual exchange rates if the application of the exchange rate determined at the time of reservation results in a negative exchange rate effect for the Service Provider of more than €1,000 for any individual booking or customer. 
After confirming the reservation, the guest will receive a confirmation email with a reservation reference. This is when the contract for the products and services ordered takes effect. This confirmation e-mail contains all the details of the reservation. The client's contract with the charter is therefore directly enforceable against the charter without any intervention on our part.
4.6

Payment is processed in Germany when we process a guest's payment. Our payment provider may need to verify: (i) the validity of the payment card (through a charge of a nominal value which is either refunded within a few days or deducted from the final payment due to the service provider) and, (ii) the availability of funds on the payment card (to be confirmed by the bank issuing the credit card).

Some banks and credit card companies charge fees for international or cross-border transactions. For example, if you, as a customer, make a reservation using a U.S.-issued card at a non-U.S. merchant, your bank may charge you a cross-border or international transaction fee. In addition, some banks and card companies charge a currency conversion fee. For example, if you make a reservation in a currency other than your credit card currency, your credit card company may convert the reservation amount to your credit card currency and charge you a conversion fee. The exchange rate and foreign transaction fee are determined solely by your bank on the day it processes the transaction. If you have any questions regarding these fees or the exchange rate applied to your reservation, please contact your bank.

4.7

Payment of the full reservation fee by the customer via the payment provider must be made as indicated below:

For reservations made earlier than 60 days (inclusive) prior to arrival, the client may choose either to 
- pay 100% of the total reservation fee upon approval of the reservation charter in question, or
