For activities worth more than 20€/person Gastronomy Tours is paid through a 15% commission of the price of the PRODUCER’S activity that is deducted from the Producer.  The final breakdown will always be mentioned on the voucher issued to the producer. 
Upon completion of the reservation, GASTRONOMY TOURS issues a reservation voucher and sends it both to the visitor and the PRODUCER. Visitors must present it to the PRODUCERS as proof of the reservation and entitle its owner to a discount for any purchases made by the producer in the case of a visit, not in the case of an activity, as stated below in Paragraph 6. 

5. Visitors pay the nominal price of the visit or activity as presented on the PRODUCER’S profile to Gastronomy Tours once the producer has accepted the requested visit or activity that they have booked, and issues a receipt to the USER while the PRODUCER will have to issue an invoice to Gastronomy TOURS for the amount due, not including the 3€ booking fee for visits or the 15% commission for activities as it will be mentioned on the booking confirmation voucher that the Producer receives once has accepted the booking request.

 6. Should the visitors make purchases from the PRODUCERS during their visit, not the activity, are eligible for a 10% discount for purchases exceeding 30 € per person or a different discount following the PRODUCER’S discount policy, which the producer must notify by email to [email protected] regarding any alternative discount. The discount details will always be specified on the booking voucher sent to the User and the Producer. 

7. PRODUCERS undertake to reply to reservation requests with a message of acceptance or refusal within 24 hours of the request’s receipt, failing which an automated message will be sent to the Visitor that the PRODUCER is not available. 

8. Visitors have the right to cancel their visit and/or activity within 14 days from the date of confirmation of their reservation and up to 7 days before the date of the visit/activity, and GASTRONOMY TOURS undertakes to refund to the Visitors all amounts paid by them deducted by Bank charges and card processing fees applicable close to 5%. In this case, the PRODUCERS have no claim against GASTRONOMY TOURS and the Visitors. 

Should the Visitors cancel the visit and/or activity with delay (i.e. not in adherence to the foregoing cancellation period) or they do not show up on the agreed reserved date, GASTRONOMY TOURS shall refund the prepaid amount to the PRODUCER.

9. Producers who cancel a reservation due to force majeure or for reasons they could not have foreseen or prevented shall inform GASTRONOMY TOURS of the cancellation at least 48 hours before the commencement of the programmed visit/activity and, should they so wish, suggest a change of date for the visit/activity, provided that this is accepted by the Visitors, else  GASTRONOMY TOURS shall refund whatever amount collected from the Visitors, whilst the PRODUCERS agree to render GASTRONOMY TOURS harmless of any related claims. 

If the PRODUCERS cancel the reservation for reasons other than those provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph or do not appear at the agreed time at the agreed place, GASTRONOMY TOURS is obliged to refund to the guests the amount received, and the PRODUCERS shall compensate GASTRONOMY TOURS with the amount of 25 € per guest. They will also be responsible for compensation for any damage to GASTRONOMY TOURS including moral damage. In addition, GASTRONOMY TOURS will be entitled to terminate its cooperation with the PRODUCER in question and delete its profile from its platform. 

10. PRODUCERS can terminate their cooperation with GASTRONOMY TOURS by lodging an advance notice of one (1) month and provided all visits/activities booked via the Platform of GASTRONOMY TOURS have taken place. Similarly, GASTRONOMY TOURS may terminate its cooperation with Producers but without prior notice of termination should the Producers be in breach of their obligations.
