ACTIVITY PROVIDERS guarantee the accuracy of their price list, which cannot be changed unless GASTRONOMY TOURS is informed.
GASTRONOMY TOURS may refuse and/or make changes to the material, especially the wording that the ACTIVITY PROVIDERS submit so that it may be consistent, at the discretion of GASTRONOMY TOURS, with the style of the wording of its Platform.
4. a) ACTIVITY PROVIDERS participate in the GASTRONOMY TOURS website and mobile Application for free.
b) Activities are always paid in advance to a GASTRONOMY TOURS bank account while the ACTIVITY PROVIDERS are paid by bank transfer for their services during the first week of the month following the execution of the activity, after issuing an aggregated invoice for the month’s services and sending it to Gastronomy Tours.
For activities worth less than 20 €/person GASTRONOMY TOURS is paid with a 3€ standard fee from the USER once the ACTIVITY PROVIDER accepts the request and issues an invoice to the USER for the nominal value as presented at the ACTIVITY PROVIDER’S profile and the ACTIVITY PROVIDER must issue another to GASTRONOMY TOURS for the cost of their ACTIVITY not including the 3€ GASTRONOMY TOURS commission.
For activities worth more than 20€/person, GASTRONOMY TOURS is paid by a commission of the activity price and is deducted from the ACTIVITY PROVIDERS. Activities are always paid the whole amount to a GASTRONOMY TOURS bank account by the USER upon the ACTIVITY PROVIDER accepting the request and issuing a receipt to the USER. The ACTIVITY PROVIDER then, must issue an invoice to GASTRONOMY TOURS for the nominal activity price (as presented on the Activity’s profile) not including the GASTRONOMY TOURS commission.
Finally, GASTRONOMY TOURS will transfer to the ACTIVITY PROVIDER’S bank account the amount due the first week of the month following the completion of the activity after ACTIVITY PROVIDERS issue an aggregated invoice for the month’s services and send it to Gastronomy Tours.
All necessary invoice details and the final breakdown will always be mentioned on the voucher and are delivered to the ACTIVITY PROVIDERS by GASTRONOMY TOURS once they accept the booking request. The final breakdown will always be mentioned on the voucher issued to the USER and the ACTIVITY PROVIDER.
