3. About MariDeal

When you book an accommodation or an experience, MariDeal is responsible for the Platform, but not the Accommodation or Experience itself.
When you book a Rental or Transfer, MariDeal provides and is responsible for the Platform, but not the car itself.

4. Our Platform

We take reasonable care in providing our Platform, but we can’t guarantee that everything on it is accurate (we get information from the Service Providers). To the extent permitted by law, we can’t be held responsible for any errors, any interruptions, or any missing bits of information, though we will do everything we can to correct/fix them as soon as we can.
Our Platform is not a recommendation or endorsement of any Service Provider or its products, services, facilities, vehicles, etc.
We’re not a party to the terms between You and the Service Provider. The Service Provider is solely responsible for the Experience.
To make a Booking, you need to create an Account. Make sure all your info (including payment and contact details) is correct and up to date, or you might not be able to access your Experience(s). You’re responsible for anything that happens with your Account, so don’t let anyone else use it and keep your username and password secret.
We’ll show you the offers that are available to your specific country, in (what we think is) the right language for you. You can change to another language whenever you like.

5. Our values

You will:

comply with all applicable laws;
not resell, encumber or transfer in any way the offer;
operate with any anti-fraud/anti-money laundering checks we need to carry out;
not use the Platform to cause a nuisance or make fake Bookings;
use the Experience and/or Platform for their intended purpose; and
not cause any nuisance or damage, and not behave inappropriately to the Service Provider’s personnel (or anyone else, for that matter).

6. Prices

All prices are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate at the time of your order.
When you make a Booking, you agree to pay the cost of the Booking, including any service fee, which may be applicable depending on the currency and/or the territory involved with your Booking, inclusive of any taxes and charges that may apply.
Some of the prices you see may have been rounded to the nearest whole number. The price you pay will be based on the original, “non-rounded” price (although the actual difference will be tiny anyway).
Obvious errors and misprints are not binding. For example, if you book a premium car or a night in a luxury suite that was mistakenly offered for MUR 1 or EURO 1, we may simply cancel that Booking and refund anything you’ve paid.
A crossed-out price indicates the price of a like-for-like Booking without the price reduction applied (“like-for-like” means same dates, same policies, same quality of accommodation/vehicle/class of travel, etc.).
The Euro price for our products or services shall be calculated based on the Mauritian Rupee (MUR) price using the prevailing conversion rate at the time of the transaction. The conversion rate used for currency conversion will be updated regularly and obtained from reputable financial sources. Please note that the Euro price displayed may vary slightly from the MUR price due to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates.

7. Payments

For our products or services, the Service Provider will require an Upfront Payment.
We organize your payment, we will be responsible for managing your payment and ensuring the completion of your transaction with our Service Provider. In this case, your payment constitutes final settlement of the “due and payable” price.
If you know of or suspect any fraud or unauthorized use of your Payment Method, contact MariDeal and/or your payment provider, who may cover any resulting charges, possibly for a fee.
Online payment towards the purchase for any product or service advertised or offered by us or a third party through the Platform may be by Credit Card, Debit Card, Internet Banking (collectively, “Electronic Payment”). Cash payment is also accepted at our Outlets.
3DS refers to ‘verified by Visa and MasterCard secure code services’ as applicable. 3DS provides You with a secure way in online and other transactions for which 3Ds is used by reducing the changes of fraud for those transactions. Upon using 3DS, you may be asked an additional security code to your mobile phone device or email address to verify any payment to MariDeal.
Under no circumstances will MariDeal be liable for any kind of commission that your bank might charge You.
You guarantee that the Electronic Payment method used (debit or credit card details) are correct, that the credit or debit card You are using is your own and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost.
After placing your order, your credit card shall automatically be debited with the full amount due in order to secure the Booking.
Once payment is cleared, you will receive an automated invoice and an automated Booking confirmation email of your order to your Account.
Each purchase made for any product or service advertised or offered on the Platform (also referred to as an “Order” or “Booking”), shall have a unique Order/Booking Number and a corresponding unique Bar Code/QR Code.
It is your sole responsibility to ensure that You can present:
1. a Booking confirmation (virtual or physical);
2. a scannable Bar Code/QR Code accompanying your Order/Booking; and
3. a valid National Identity Card or Passport,
As regards Electronic Payment, it is your sole responsibility to verify:
1. the validity thereof;
2. the availability of funds;
3. any applicable currency exchange rate; and
4. any applicable bank/transaction charge, fee, and/or commission.
Such verification is to be done by You with the bank through which the Electronic Payment is made.
In the event of any refund of the Electronic Payment, we shall withhold any applicable bank/transaction charge, fee, and/or commission as may be raised by the relevant banks towards the processing of the refund. As such, the refunded amount shall be less than the Electronic Payment made.
We reserve the right to cancel any potential purchase for any product or service advertised or offered by a third party through the Platform, without incurring any liability, if the required payment has not been received, in full amount (100% of the Booking) within any of our bank accounts, within three (3) business days of the purchase being made.
Whenever a payment is not 100% complete, there is a possibility that by the time the payment is finalized, the room availability or prices might have changed. In such instances, if the rooms are sold out or the prices have increased, you will be refunded.
If a partial payment is initiated but not completed, the partial payment amount will not be refunded, and a reservation will not be secured.

8. Policies

When you make a Booking, you accept the applicable policies as displayed in the booking process. You'll find each Service Provider's cancellation policy and any other policies (e.g. age requirements, security/damage deposits, additional supplements for group Bookings, extra beds, breakfast, cards accepted, etc.) on our Platform, on the Service Provider information pages, during the booking process, in the fine print, and/or in the confirmation email or ticket (if applicable).
As the person making the Booking, you are responsible for the actions and behavior (in relation to the Experience) of everyone in the group. You’re also responsible for obtaining their permission before providing us with their personal data.
Depending on which territory You are making a Booking, and for which You are eligible, you may be charged a service fee by us (of up to 4%). This fee varies based on a variety of factors and is shown during checkout before you book so you know what to expect. For some stays the service is not applicable, or reduced. Your Booking confirmation will clearly stipulate the amount of service fee You were charged.
If you cancel a Booking or don’t show up, any cancellation/no-show fee or refund will depend on the Service Provider’s cancellation/no-show policy, and if not applicable MariDeal’s Terms will apply. See Clause 8.4 below.

Cancellations

In general, if as a Guest You cancel a Reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the cancellation policy, as stated on the offer, and if it is not stated, the general cancellation policy of MariDeal applies to that Reservation.
The general cancellation policy of MariDeal is that any cancellation request made by the Guest, within seventy-two (72) hours prior to arrival date for the Accommodation or Experience will be denied.
The general cancellation policy of MariDeal is that any cancellation request made by the Guest, greater than seventy-two (72) hours prior to the arrival date for the Accommodation or Experience may be accepted or denied by the Service Provider, due to contractual obligations, at your own cost.

5. If the cancellation request is accepted by the Service Provider in writing, you will automatically be refunded the amount paid in the form of Store Credit, minus a cancellation fee of ten (10%) percent of the total amount.

6. If the cancellation request is denied by the Service Provider, in writing, you are obligated to proceed with the Booking or be charged with a no-show fee on the full amount of the Reservation (100%) one hundred percent.

7. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If something outside your control forces you to cancel a Reservation (Force Majeure as per the coupon), you may be eligible for a partial or full refund. If the Service Provider cancels, (for safety or unavailability reason), you may be eligible for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund (although this may not be guaranteed).

27. Section B- Accommodation

Scope of this section:

This section contains the specific terms for Accommodation products and services. These include but not limited to hotels, bed and breakfast, apartments, villas, vacation house, private houses, lodges, day packages and evening packages.

Contractual relationship

When you make a Booking, it’s directly with the Service Provider. We’re not a “contractual party” to your Booking.
MariDeal owns and operates the Platform.
Our Platform only shows Accommodation that have a commercial relationship with us, and it doesn’t necessarily show all their products or services.
Information about Service Providers (e.g. facilities, house rules, sustainability measures) and their Experiences (e.g. prices, availability, and cancellation policies) is based on what they provide to us. They’re responsible for making sure it’s accurate and up to date.

What we will do

We provide the Platform on which Service Providers can promote and sell their Accommodations, and you can search for, compare, and book them.
Once you’ve booked your Accommodation, we will provide you and the Service Provider with details of your Booking, including the names of the guest(s).

What you need to do

Fill in all your contact details correctly, so we and/or the Service Provider can provide you with info about your Booking and, if necessary, contact you.
Read these Terms and the terms displayed during the booking process carefully.
Take care of the Accommodation and its furniture, fixtures, electronics, and other contents, and leave things in the same state they were in when you got there. If anything is broken, damaged, or lost, make sure you report it to the staff there as soon as you can, before you check out.
Maintain the security of the Accommodation and its contents during your stay. So, for example, don’t leave doors or windows unlocked.
If you think you won’t arrive on time, contact your Service Provider and tell them when they can expect You so they don't charge You a no-show fee for your Booking. If you’re late, we are not liable for the consequences (e.g. the cancellation of your Booking or any fees the Service Provider may charge).

Amendment and cancellation

Please refer to Section 8 Policies

28. Section C- Experience

This section contains the specific terms for Experience products and services.

This encompasses things to do such as activities, restaurants and spas.

Should you wish to book your Experience product and service, please contact the Service Provider directly for availability. The Service Provider will revert regarding the availability of your requested time/date. The contact details of the Service Provider should be on the offer.

Alternatively, MariDeal will be pleased to assist you regarding your Booking and checking availability with the Service Provider.

Contractual relationship

We do not (re)sell, offer, or provide any Experiences on our own behalf. When you book an Experience, you enter a contract directly with (a) the Service Provider, as disclosed during the booking process.
We act solely as the Platform and are not involved in the Third-Party Terms. We are not responsible for your ticket and (to the fullest extent permitted by law) have no liability to you in relation to your Booking.

What we will do

We provide the Platform on which Service Providers and (from time to time) Third-Party Aggregators can promote and sell Travel Experiences, and you can search for, compare, and book them.
Once you’ve booked your Experience, we’ll provide you and the Service Provider with details of the Booking. If the Service Provider needs more than your name, we’ll tell you at the time of booking.

What you need to do

You must fill in all your contact details correctly, so we and/or the Service Provider can provide you with information about your Booking and, if necessary, contact you.
You must read and agree to comply with our Terms and the Third-Party Terms (which will be displayed at check-out) and acknowledge that breaching them may lead to additional charges and/or the cancellation of your Booking.
If you think you won’t arrive on time, contact your Service Provider and tell them when they can expect you so they don't charge you a no-show fee for your Booking. If you’re late, we are not liable for the consequences (e.g., the cancellation of your Booking or any fees the Service Provider may charge).

Amendment and cancellation

Please refer to Section 8 Policies

29. Section D- Car rental

When you book a Car Rental, your Booking is either (a) with us or (b) directly with the Service Provider. Either way:

our Terms govern the booking process. When we send you your Booking Confirmation, you’ll enter a contract with us.
the Rental Agreement governs the Rental itself. When you sign this at the rental counter, you’ll enter a contract with the Service Provider, and you’ll see and accept the key terms of it while you’re booking your vehicle.
In most cases, you’ll get your Booking Confirmation as soon as you complete your Booking. However, if the Service Provider doesn't confirm your Rental immediately, we won’t take payment or send you your Booking Confirmation until they’ve done so.
If there’s any discrepancy between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the Rental Agreement will apply.

What we will do

We provide the Platform on which Service Providers can promote and sell their Experiences, and you can search for, compare, and book them.
We don’t guarantee the precise make and model you’re booking (unless we expressly say so). The phrase “or similar” means you could get a similar car (i.e., the same size, type of transmission, etc.). The car pictures are illustrative only.
Once you’ve booked your Rental:
(i) we’ll give the Service Provider the Booking details (e.g. the Main Driver's name and phone number)
(ii) we’ll provide you with Pick-up information (e.g. the Service Provider's contact details, and info on what you need to take with you).

What you need to do

You must provide all the information we need to arrange your Booking (e.g. contact details, pick-up time, etc.).
You must read and agree to comply with these Terms and the Rental Agreement, and acknowledge that if you breach them:
(i) you might have to pay additional charges;
(ii) your Booking might be cancelled; and/or
(iii) the staff might refuse to hand over the keys at the rental counter.
You must check your Rental's specific requirements, as many details (e.g. driver’s license requirements, security deposit size, paperwork needed, payment cards accepted, etc.) vary per Rental.
Make sure you carefully read:
(i) these Terms
(ii) the key terms of the Rental Agreement, which you'll see while you’re booking, and
(iii) the Rental Agreement itself, which you'll receive at Pick-up.
You must be at the rental counter by your pick-up time. If you’re late, the car may no longer be available, and you won’t be entitled to a refund. If you think you might be late, contact the Service Provider or us, even if it's because of a flight delay and you’ve provided your flight number.
If you think you won’t arrive on time, contact your Service Provider and tell them when they can expect You so they don't charge you a no-show fee for your Booking. If you’re late, we are not liable for the consequences (e.g. the cancellation of your Booking or any fees the Service Provider may charge).
The key terms of your Rental tell you what the Main Driver needs at pick-up. You must ensure that when they get to the rental counter, they bring everything they need (e.g. driver’s license, required ID, and a credit card in their own name, with enough available funds to cover the security deposit).
You must make sure the Main Driver is both eligible and fit (in the Service Provider’s opinion) to drive the car.
You must have all the documents (e.g. ID, valid (international or local) driver’s license) that you need at pick-up.
You must show the counter staff each driver's full, valid driver’s license, which they must have held for at least 1 year (or longer, in many cases). If any driver has endorsements/points on their license, let us know as soon as possible, as the Service Provider may not allow them to drive.
You must ensure that every driver has their own International Driving Permit (if they need one) as well as their driver’s license. All drivers must carry their driver’s license (and International Driving Permit, if necessary) at all times.
You must ensure that every child has an appropriate child seat if they need one.
If anything goes wrong during your Rental (e.g. accident, breakdown, etc.), you must:
(i) contact the Service Provider
(ii) not authorize any repairs without the Service Provider's consent
(iii) keep all documentation (e.g. repair bills, police reports, etc.) to share with us/the Service Provider/an insurance company.

Price and payment

In some cases, the Service Provider will charge a young driver fee for each driver under a certain age (e.g. 25). In some cases, they may charge a senior driver fee for each driver over a certain age (e.g. 65). When booking on our Platform, you must enter the Main Driver's age, so we can show you details of any age-related fee(s), which you would pay at pick-up.
In many cases, the Service Provider will charge a one-way fee if you drop the car off at a different location. If you intend to do this, you need to enter the drop-off location while booking, so we can tell you if it’s possible, and show you details of any one-way fee, which you would pay at Pick-up.
In many cases, the Service Provider will charge a cross-border fee for taking the car to a different country/state/island. If you intend to do this, tell us and/or the Service Provider as soon as you can before pick-up.
The price of your Rental is calculated based on 24-hour units, for example, a 25-hour rental will cost as much as a 48-hour rental.
If after pick-up you decide you want to keep the car longer, contact the Service Provider. They'll tell you how much this would cost, and you'll enter a new contract with them directly. If you drop the car off late without agreeing this in advance, they may charge an additional fee as well.

Extras

In some cases, you'll pay for any optional extras (e.g. child seats, GPS, winter tires, etc.) when you book your car, in which case you're guaranteed to get them at pick-up.
In other cases, you'll simply request any extras when you book your car, in which case:
(i) you'll pay for them at Pick-up, and
(ii) the Service Provider doesn't guarantee they'll be available for you.

Amendments, cancellations & refunds

We go above and beyond our legal obligations. Even though local laws don’t require us to offer specific cancellation rights, we guarantee that we will honor our refunds policy if you cancel your Booking.
The following “Cancellation and Amendments” terms apply to all Bookings apart from:
Bookings that are labelled “non-refundable” (you cannot amend a non-refundable Booking, and won’t receive a refund if you cancel it).

Amendment and cancellation
Please refer to Section 8 Policies

The counter staff may refuse you the car if (for example):

You don’t arrive on time and you have not informed of your delay to the Service Provider.
You are not eligible to rent the car.
You don’t have the documentation you need.
The main driver doesn’t have a credit card in their own name, with enough available funds for the car’s security deposit.

Changes made by the Service Provider

If we/the Service Provider need to change your Booking (e.g. if the Service Provider can’t provide the car), we’ll tell you as soon as we can. If you don't accept that change, you’ll be entitled to cancel and claim a full refund (no matter how close the start of your Rental is) but we won’t have any additional liability for any direct or indirect costs you may incur (e.g. hotel room, taxis).

What else do you need to know?

General
In all cases, drivers must be at least a minimum age to rent or drive a car. In some cases, they must also be below the maximum age. The limit(s) can vary by Service Provider, country, location, and type of car.
Only eligible drivers whose names appear on the Rental Agreement may drive the car.

You must not take the car to a different country/ island and/or drop it off at a different location without arranging this in advance.

2. Late pick-up and early drop-off

If you pick your car up later or drop it off earlier than agreed in your Booking Confirmation, the Service Provider will not refund you for the “unused” time.

If you think you won’t arrive on time, contact your Service Provider and tell them when they can expect you so they don't cancel your Booking. If you’re late, we are not liable for the consequences (e.g. the cancellation of your Booking or any fees the Service Provider may charge).

30. Customer Care

If you have a question or complaint, contact our Customer Care team via

email on info@marideal.mu and customercare@marideal.mu or

by calling us on (230) 263-2769 or (33) 0262-501110.

You can do so by accessing your Booking through your Account, through our app or through our Help Center (where you’ll also find some useful FAQs).

You can help us help you as quickly as possible by providing:

your Booking confirmation number, your contact details, and the email address you used when booking
a summary of the issue, including how you’d like us to help you
any supporting documents (e.g. bank statement, pictures, receipts, etc.)

All questions and complaints are recorded, and the most urgent ones are treated as the highest priority.

We try to resolve disputes internally, and aren’t obliged to submit to any alternative dispute resolution procedures handled by independent providers.

Communication with the service provider

We may help you communicate with your Service Provider, but we can’t guarantee that they’ll read anything from you or that they’ll do what you ask. In itself, the fact that you contact them or that they contact you doesn’t mean you have any grounds for legal action.

Measures against unacceptable behavior?

We have the right to stop you from making any Bookings, to cancel any Bookings you’ve made, and/or to stop you from using our Platform, our Customer Care, and/or your Account. Of course, we’ll only do this if in our opinion there’s a good reason to, such as:

fraud or abuse
non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations
inappropriate or unlawful behavior (e.g. violence, threats, invasion of privacy) in relation to us, any of the Service Provider we work with – or anyone else, for that matter.

If we cancel a Booking as a result, you won’t be entitled to a refund.

We may tell you why we cancelled your Booking, unless telling you would (a) contravene applicable laws and/or (b) prevent or obstruct the detection or prevention of fraud or other illegal activities. If you believe we incorrectly cancelled your Booking, contact our Customer Care team.
