Pricing and Payment
You acknowledge that FishingBooker pre-negotiates certain rates with Vendors to facilitate the booking of reservations on your behalf. The rate displayed on the Website is a combination of the pre- negotiated rate for Services reserved on your behalf by FishingBooker and the facilitation fee retained by us to compensate us for our Services. You authorize FishingBooker to book reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the rate displayed on the Website. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize FishingBooker to facilitate reservations on your behalf.

We retain our fees as compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Our fees vary based on the Vendor, total amount and type of reservation.

The price of the travel services will be as quoted on the Website, except in cases of obvious error. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect bookings already accepted by our Vendors.  

Despite our best efforts, some of the Services listed on the website may be incorrectly priced. 

WE EXPRESSLY RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CORRECT ANY PRICING ERRORS ON OUR WEBSITE AND/OR ON PENDING RESERVATIONS MADE UNDER AN INCORRECT PRICE. IN SUCH EVENT, IF AVAILABLE, WE WILL OFFER YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP YOUR PENDING RESERVATION AT THE CORRECT PRICE OR WE WILL CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION WITHOUT PENALTY.

A final price will be given prior to your trip being confirmed. Errors are rare but can occur in the pricing system and these cannot be honored.

We are under no obligation to provide Services to you at an incorrect (lower) price, even after you have been sent confirmation of your booking.

All of the Services require a deposit at the time of booking for you to secure your fishing trip. Any outstanding balance is due to be paid to the Vendor prior to consuming Services rendered by and booked with your selected Vendor. If you do not pay your balance prior to consuming the Vendor’s Services, the Vendor may cancel the booking and charge any cancellation fees as set out in the Vendor’s cancellation policy which can be found under their listing.

With certain Vendors, you may be presented with the option to pay the full amount immediately. If you select this option, you will be charged the amount in US dollars by direct bank transfer, and some additional charges and conditions may apply.

FishingBooker may decline to commence any booking process until one (1) business day after our payment processor confirms your payment. You agree that we are not responsible for any failure of our payment processor to remit payment to us that you may make through them, or any failure on their part to notify us of payment, and that in such cases, it is your duty to resolve the matter directly with our payment processor before we will acknowledge any payment by you. 
FishingBooker uses Braintree, a division of PayPal, Inc. (Braintree) for payment processing services. By using the Braintree payment processing services you agree to the Braintree Payment Services Agreement available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/gateway-agreement, and the applicable bank agreement available at https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/bank-agreement.

Payments of the deposit can be accepted by PayPal, direct bank transfer or credit or debit cards. For payment instructions of the deposit by direct bank transfer please contact our Customer Service department. Payment by credit or debit card is possible but can be made only by the card holder or with the card holder’s approval for amounts over US$500. When making your payment by card, a handling fee may apply; please check this at time of booking. In the event the credit card holder is not also one of the passengers traveling, a Third Party Credit Card verification process will be completed up to and including completion of a Third Party Credit Card Form along with presentation of passport and driver’s license.

All payments must be processed successfully.  If, however, you do not complete your payment program, all monies processed will be forfeited, and your booking will be cancelled.

In addition, the prevention of money laundering is a key focus of U.S. regulatory authorities. Money laundering regulations are designed to inhibit the movement of funds derived from criminal activity and to restrict the availability of money to fund terrorist activities.

FishingBooker reserves the right to restrict your access to the FishingBooker or Vendor services and developing strict procedures to minimize the risk that our service could be used for money laundering purposes, including controls and monitoring tools to identify deviations from standard customer activity and identification of suspicious activity.

In order to further reduce the risk that our service could be used for money laundering purposes, we do not deal in cash.  All money is received and remitted by us electronically.

Furthermore, we reserve the right at any stage to refuse or restrict access to the FishingBooker or Vendor services if you fail to provide us with satisfactory information or, if information you have provided to us subsequently appears to be misleading, incorrect or false. FishingBooker does not allow money transfers intended for gaming, gambling or illegal activity. We will cancel all transfers associated with any such activity.

If You Cancel or Change Your Booking
Any cancellation or amendment request must be sent to us in writing through the FishingBooker platform or mobile application by the lead passenger and will not take effect until received by us. 
By making a reservation with a Vendor, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of that Vendor, and to any additional terms and conditions of the Vendor that may apply to your reservation, including for services rendered and/or products offered by the Vendor (the delivery terms and conditions of a Vendor can be obtained with the relevant Vendor). The general cancellation and no-show policy of each Vendor is made available on our website on the Vendor information pages, during the reservation procedure and in the confirmation email. Please note that certain rates are not eligible for cancellation or change. Please check the Vendor’s details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation.

If you wish to review, adjust or cancel your reservation, please revert to the confirmation email and follow the instructions therein. You may cancel or change your prepaid reservation in accordance with the individual Vendor’s selected cancellation policy, usually 24 to 72 hours prior to your start date. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with the Vendor’s cancellation and no-show policy. We recommend that you read the cancellation and no-show policy of the Vendor carefully prior to making a reservation.

Best Price Guarantee:
Best Price Guarantee. In the unlikely event that you find a lower rate on FishingBooker.com or on another website within 24 hours of booking with FishingBooker.com, we will credit or refund to you the difference in price.

Travel must be completed in accordance with the booked itinerary to be eligible to receive refund or credit.

Notifying FishingBooker of a Claim. You must file a Best Price Guarantee application form within twenty-four (24) hours after your FishingBooker.com booking, to make a claim under the Best Price Guarantee. The lower rate must be available for booking at the time you contact us, as determined by our customer service representatives.

Must be "Apples to Apples" Comparison. The Best Price Guarantee is available only for exact itinerary matches. For example, the specific vessel, trip type and duration, number of guests, and the exact same dates and times of travel or service as booked through FishingBooker.com. For any stand-alone product booking (for example, a single day trip), the comparison must be to the same product purchased stand-alone through another website (i.e., not part of an all inclusive or multiday trip package). The Best Price Guarantee is not available for bookings on websites where the charter operator, itinerary or similar booking details are unknown until after purchase. You must meet all requirements imposed on the lower price (if any), including, without limitation, residency, regional and age-related requirements.

Comparison Rates Must Be Available to the General Public Online. The Best Price Guarantee applies only to prices both advertised and available to the general public on an English-language website. For example, this does not include rates offered on:

  • Membership program websites, corporate discounts or rates
  • Group, rewards program, incentive, meeting, convention, consolidator or interline prices
  • Prices obtained via auction or similar process
  • Prices available only by using a coupon or other promotion not offered to the general public.

The lower rate may not come from a website where you call to get the rate, or from an e-mail that you received. In addition, the rate must be quoted, booked, and paid for in US dollars.

Important Note Regarding Additional Services.  To qualify for the Best Price Guarantee, you must have paid in full the required prepayment deposit on the booking.
Verification of Claims. All requests, including receipts, are subject to verification by FishingBooker. FishingBooker will not accept screenshots or other purported evidence of a lower price that cannot be independently confirmed by FishingBooker personnel. Nor will FishingBooker verify any request that it believes, in its sole discretion, is the result of a printing or other error or is made fraudulently or in bad faith. Verified requests will receive a credit to the credit card used for the booking, within approximately 7-10 days of verification.

Changes. FishingBooker reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify or discontinue the Best Price Guarantee or to restrict its availability to any person, at any time, for any or no reason, and without prior notice or liability to you. The terms that are in effect at the time of your booking will determine your eligibility under the Best Price Guarantee. No change in the Best Price Guarantee program will affect any credit that has already been issued to you. The failure by FishingBooker to enforce any provision of these Terms & Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

UNUSED SERVICES
Neither FishingBooker nor its authorized representatives shall offer or pay any discounts or refunds for missed or unused services which were missed or unused by the Customer due to no fault of FishingBooker or its representatives, which shall include any termination of the Customer’s participation in the Service due to the Customer’s own fault, negligence or breach of these Terms. 

Cancellation by Vendors
As your contract is with the Vendor, the Vendor’s cancellation policy shall apply.

We do not accept any liability of whatever nature for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of those Vendors in connection with your travel pursuant to a contract between them and yourselves and over whom we have no direct control. We do not accept liability in contract or in tort (actionable wrong) for any injury, damage, loss, delay, additional expenses or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by force or other events which are beyond our control, or which are not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part including, but not limited to war, civil disturbance, fire, floods, unusually severe weather, acts of God, acts of Government or of any other authorities, accidents to or failure of machinery or equipment or industrial action.

Please note that Vendors have the ultimate responsibility for the safety of the crew and the people onboard. In the event that the trip is no longer safe due to any reason, the Vendor has the right to cancel the whole or part of the trip (before or after departure).

If your booking has to be cancelled prior to departure due to unsafe weather conditions, you shall have the choice of:

  • accept from FishingBooker a full refund of deposit paid for the cancelled service(s).
  • accept from FishingBooker a substitute service(s) of equivalent value, where such substitute is reasonably available; or
  • accept from FishingBooker a substitute service(s) of lower value if no service(s) of equivalent value is reasonably available, and to recover from FishingBooker the difference in deposit  between the deposit of the tour originally purchased and that of the substitute one;

FishingBooker is not responsible for any incidental expenses or consequential losses that you may have incurred as a result of the cancelled booking such as visas, vaccinations, non-refundable flights or rail, non-refundable car parking or other fees, loss of earnings, or loss of enjoyment, etc. FishingBooker reserves the right to issue a full refund in lieu of the choices above, in its sole discretion.

If, as a Vendor, you cancel a confirmed booking, you agree that FishingBooker may apply penalties or consequences to you or your presence on the Website, including, without limitation, (i) publishing an automated review on the Website indicating that you cancelled a reservation, (ii) keeping the calendar for your listing unavailable or blocked for the dates of the cancelled booking, (iii) imposing a cancellation fee (to be withheld from our future payouts or charged to the credit card on file in your Vendor account), or (iv) in the sole discretion of FishingBooker, removing your Vendor listing from the Website, suspending your Vendor access to the Website, or otherwise limiting your use of the Website as a Vendor. 

Vendor Requirements
As a Vendor, you may create fishing trips and listings to advertise those trips. To create them, you will be asked a variety of questions. You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all content you post on your listings. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any listing you post and any booking that you receive as a result of the listed trips and any Customer’s experience on a fishing trip you advertised on the FishingBooker platform will not breach any agreements you have entered into with any third parties, and will (i) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as maritime laws and laws governing boats, bodies of water, etc.), tax requirements, intellectual property laws, and rules and regulations that may apply to any fishing trip you post (including having all required permits, licenses, and registrations), and (ii) not conflict with the rights of third parties.

PLEASE NOTE THAT FISHINGBOOKER ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR A VENDOR’S COMPLIANCE WITH ANY AGREEMENTS WITH OR DUTIES TO THIRD PARTIES, APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS. 

FishingBooker reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any FishingBooker trip, account or listing for any reason, including ones that FishingBooker, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of this Agreement or FishingBooker’s policies, or that are otherwise harmful to the Website, FishingBooker, or its Customers.

As a Vendor, you understand and agree that FishingBooker does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Customer requests a booking of your fishing trip, any agreement you enter into with such Customer is between you and the Customer and FishingBooker is not a party to it.

FishingBooker recommends that Vendors obtain insurance for their fishing trips. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your fishing trip carefully and ensure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, without limitation, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Customers while on the trip.

No Endorsement
FishingBooker does not endorse any Vendor, Customer, or listing. Although Vendors and Customers are required by this Agreement to provide accurate information, FishingBooker does not make any representations about, confirm, or endorse any Vendor, Customer, or any Vendor’s or Customer’s purported identity or background.

By using the Website, you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Vendors or Customers or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Vendor or Customer or other third party who caused you harm.

Force Majeure
We shall not be liable or responsible, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, electronic outages, website or Internet malfunctions, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, lock-outs, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to either party's workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.
