Binding Agreement

Welcome to BookVelo. These Terms of Service govern your use of our platform, including our website, mobile applications, and the vertical SaaS infrastructure provided to maritime operators.

By accessing or using the marketplace, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. BookVelo is a flagship product of **BookVelo**, an IT entity registered in Puducherry, India.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, making a payment, or browsing the platform, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are booking for a minor, you take full legal responsibility for their safety and conduct.

2. Marketplace Scope

**BookVelo is a technology platform, not a carrier.** We act as an intermediary connecting travelers with third-party boat houses and tourism providers.

The contract for the actual activity (the boat ride, diving, etc.) is solely between you and the Provider. BookVelo is not responsible for the quality, safety, or execution of the physical activity.

3. User Responsibilities & Safety

Users must follow all safety instructions provided by the boat house operators. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Wearing life jackets at all times while on the water.
  • Refraining from boarding under the influence of alcohol or prohibited substances.
  • Arriving at the counter 15 minutes before your scheduled slot.

4. Payments, Fees & Taxes

All prices are inclusive of applicable GST unless stated otherwise. BookVelo may charge a "Convenience Fee" for processing digital bookings, which is non-refundable.

**Secure Payments**: We utilize Razorpay and other certified gateways. We do not store your credit card or CVV details on our servers.

5. Refunds & Weather Policy

**Weather Related**: If a Provider cancels an activity due to tide conditions, monsoon alerts, or government orders, a 100% refund will be initiated.

**User-Initiated**: Cancellations made within 24 hours of the slot are subject to a 50% forfeiture fee unless specified otherwise by the provider.

6. Limitation of Liability

Important Notice

BookVelo shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from injuries, delays, or equipment failure during the physical activity provided by the boat house.

7. Intellectual Property

The "BookVelo" name, logo, software code, and "Slot Sync" algorithms are the exclusive property of BookVelo. Any reproduction, scraping, or reverse engineering is strictly prohibited.

8. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes arising from the use of this platform shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in **Puducherry, India**.
