The Parties agree as follows:
### SCOPE OF SERVICE
www.diveandcruise.com website try to show you the widest range of diving liveaboard in the market, we do maintained the website as best as we can with new liveaboard operators and delete the ones that are not operating anymore, the informations provided are the ones we received from the boats and/or the ones we verified once we visit the boat. We are not liable for any mistake on the boat description, itineraries and photos provided by any liveaboard shown online. we are doing the schedule and price yearly for the boat that provided this informations and we update it every year in July/August. During the 12 months following, some changes by operators can have been made without Diveandcruise being aware of it, once again we try our best efforts to keep it updated but it can shows some mistakes. Our booking form on this website is a request only and doesn’t give you a space on the boat. Our team of dive agent will write back to you and inform you about the availability of your choosen package and provide you the updated infos regarding this one. Once you accept the offer with your respective dive agent from diveandcruise then we proceed to confirm your spaces with the liveaboard and send you an invoice to proceed the payment.
www.dive-and-cruise.com website was our first domain 10years ago and we updated it to represent better the group Diveandcruise trying to offer another kind of navigation, infos and boat videos. The main difference on this website is the display of the "Schedules and Prices" that are handled by the company SCUBADATES who are putting all his effort to reunite Diving Liveaboard Operators into one system where everyboat have to keep his date, prices, availabilities accurate. Like in any system so boat operators are doing it well and some are a bit slow to update it, so this give you a global idea of the trip available for you regarding the prices, the cabin details and availabilty and then you can use "Booking Request" if you are interresting to join a trip, as soon as we received it, we will check directly with the boat and get back to you with all updated details to confirm your booking. Once you agree with you dive agent quotation then the invoice will be sent to you for payment.
www.diveabroad.com website is the new Instant Booking Platform for Diveandcruise resulting after diver’s wishes to be able to quickly book their diving. Recently 2/3y some companies start allowing diver to do so online and we were precautious about it because we KNOW our liveaboard, our partners and how this whole world works, and what you see is not always what you CAN have.
There are NO Diving Liveaboard Broker website today displaying an automatic availability display, NONE.
Availabilities have to be enter by human regarding the Agent access we have with the boat so it can not be an 100% accurancy on the spaces avaialbilites you see anywhere, mistake exists as it’s a human team behind these availabilities input.
On this website we have 2 agent dedicated to update all the boat display every 24h in order to offer a 95%-99% accurancy on prices and spaces. It been tested for 2 months before opening to verify that the datas will be good enough for our divers to proceed instant booking. The Credit Card system used to proceed the booking is STRIPE and as this is one of the Payment Processing Leader nowadays, his system works as rental car company, it means your credit card are encrypted on there platform and verified to say either your credit card used is OK or NOT OK to proceed the booking. NO debit is done and no money is block when you entering these infos. This is only to confirm us your real intention to proceed for a Dive trip on a selected boat so then we can within minute contact the boat, place your booking and get back to you with our aggreement. Only at this stage you will confirm us to debit the credit card for the amount stated on your invoice or release your payment if you want to cancel (no fees) or pay with another method.
### PRICES
We guarantee you the lowest price for a similar dive trip you can find online, We as all other liveaboard platform MUST display the price given by our business partner "liveaboard Operator". No company is allowed to display a cheaper price to attract customer online. The price we show on our website try to be as close to the real price as possible but using multicurrency application it can sometimes be slighty different. The price you will have to pay is the one we provide you in your invoice and this one will be always the lower one on the market for the same services + a great team of dive agent behind you and an easy process with flexibility.
