Renter refund policy

After good research Tubber will:

• Refund the renter part or all of the price paid by the renter via the Tubber Website, depending on the nature of their Booking Issue. If not already refunded at the charter company after official check-out.
• In the event of a Booking Issue, the liability of Tubber towards the Renter is limited to the amount that the relevant Charter company to the Renter under the online booking would be due. Maximum is the total amount booked on Tubber Website, including obligated fees online.
• only refund if Tubber was given the opportunity to do reasonable efforts to find and provide the renter to deliver a boat or at least an equivalent replacement Boat at the time agreed with the renter.

Tubber wil never refund:

Damage to the Boat and its equipment which does not prejudice its (sea)-worthiness and which allows the Boat to continue to be used in a reasonable manner shall not be grounds for Refund. Any refund in such a case is also excluded.
