1. ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND TERMS
1.1. After making a reservation through this website a message acknowledging that we have received your request to make a reservation will be displayed. This acknowledgment does not constitute a contract of sale but merely an indication that your offer (to make a reservation) has been received by us and is being processed.
1.2. Shortly after making your reservation, you will also receive an email and/or electronic message which will (among other things) provide you with a summary of your order details. This email does not constitute a contract of sale but merely a summary of the order details which are still being processed. Unless we receive any information from you to the contrary, we will assume that the details of your pending reservation(s) as indicated in the email are correct.
