You are solely responsible for Content or any other information You upload or otherwise provide, on Yakki ("Your Content").

We also do not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding any communication or requests by Users. You consent that any agreement between You and such individual or organization is solely on the terms agreed between Users and is done at Your own risk.

The reservation of an outdoor experience will take place through a special online feature provided by the Website, which the Guest will use to select the Experience, specify the date and number of participants, enter his/her first and last name, email, phone, other information that may be relevant and finally, book online.

By sending a booking request, You are submitting a binding offer to the Service provider, to which you are bound for 2 working days. If the Service provider accepts Your offer within this period, the contract is concluded and binding and You will receive a notification via email. 

The Host alone shall be responsible for honouring any reservation confirmed through the Website. The Guest understands and accepts that he or she will be required to enter into an agreement with the Host and acknowledges and accepts that the responsibility of compliance with that agreement falls on the latter, and not on Yakki, which is not in any way part of those agreements and, except as provided in these Terms, has no liability arising out of or relating to the agreements.

The Host has two days of time to confirm the booking. The booking confirmation is notified to Guests through e-mail. With the booking confirmation, the Host agrees to provide the Guest the Experience according to the procedures and terms contained in the description of the outdoor Experience.

The Price of the Experience is not established by Yakki but by the Host offering the Experience. The Price of the outdoor Experience is clearly stated in the Ad. Hosts understand and agree that once a Guest requests a booking, you may not request the Guest to pay a higher price than in the booking request.

Therefore, Guests purchase one or more outdoor Experiences directly from the Hosts at the price they establish. All published amounts are inclusive of VAT and other applicable taxes.

Payment via Yakki is handled by trusted payment services provider Stripe or Paypal. By using Yakki and sending booking requests via our Platform you also accept the terms and conditions of Stripe or Paypal.

The Guest agrees to provide to Yakki or to the third party that processes payments (Stripe, Paypal) the customary billing and credit card information, authorising Yakki or the third party that processes payments (Stripe, Paypal) to collect an amount equal to 100% of the total price of the Experience. If Your booking request exceeds a certain amount, You might be required to upload a proof of identity such as passport or officially accepted identity card to continue in the booking process.

These amounts are kept by Yakki or the third party that processes payments (Stripe, Paypal), that will transfer them to the Hosts after 7 days from the performance of the Outdoor Experience, keeping the cost agreed for the services and use of the platform.

If the credit card payment before the use of the booked activity or service is not honoured or revoked, this will be considered as a booking cancellation and cancellation fees will apply.

In case the Host does not confirm a booking, the total amount is rendered to the Guest.

Yakki may apply or deduct the processing fees for foreign currencies to or from any payment made or received in currencies other than the Euro. Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, Service fees are non-refundable.

Yakki will send by email confirmation of the booking to the Guest and to the Host. The latter will be responsible for the release to the Guest of the official document (invoice/receipt), documenting the payment.

The following refund policies apply to all outdoor Experiences published on yakki.net:

Cancellation requests must be submitted by email to admin@yakki.net and specifying the name of the Host, the Outdoor Experience, and the booking date in the subject. Cancellations communicated with other methods will not be considered valid.

The Host is entitled to cancel an Experience he/she published and that has not yet been booked, without incurring any penalty.

If a Host has no choice but to cancel a reservation, he needs to inform Yakki immediately, and give a valid reason for cancelling the Experience. This allows Yakki to attempt to provide Users affected by Hosts cancellations with suitable alternatives. Yakki will assist the Guest by attempting to arrange suitable alternative activities including, for example, by putting the User in contact with another Host and/or by providing details of alternative activities offered, but in each and every case, Yakki is under no obligation in such respect. Yakki will refund the entire amount paid to the Guest, if the Guest refuses alternatives. Any unjustified and repeated cancellations from the Host will justify the possible decision to suspend or permanently close the Host’s account.

If weather conditions prevent the booked outdoor Experience, the Host will suggest a different date to the Guest, changes to the originally planned schedule or another outdoor Experience. The Guest has the choice whether to accept alternative proposal or ask the Host the cancellation of the reservation (see point 9.2), thus having the right of a 100% refund.

After enjoying an outdoor Experience, the Guest will receive an invitation to provide a review of the Experience and Host, and vice-versa. When a User provides a review and/or shares a photo, he/she agrees that these be displayed on the Host’s or Guest's page on the Website, on social media accounts, on the Website or the website of one of our affiliate partners, in order to inform other travellers about the quality of the outdoor Experience.

By posting reviews on www.yakki.net, the User agrees to grant and make available free of charge any right arising out of the use of his/her reviews (as per Art. 97 of Law No. 633/1941), with express waiver in favour of Yakki.net from any consequences and/or damage, even if related only to image, resulting from the legitimate use of the granted material. Reviews may be read, published, translated and distributed for free by any means and in any form, including advertising and promotional activities by third parties without specific authorisation.
