In case the number of customers decreases below the stated minimum number of participating customers A Frank Idea reserves the right to cancel or recalculate the prices for the specific service.

In case there is a short term availability for a service, customers are allowed to pay at the start of the service. In that case, the payment will be carried out through a mobile payment device by bank- or credit card. A booking is confirmed only after the total amount for the services is paid.

Different rules may be agreed between the parties; in that case, the agreed rules must be explicitly mentioned in writing.

Cancellations and rescheduling

If a cancellation is requested more than one week before the start of the service, the paid amount will be refunded, or the service can be cancelled free of charge.
