Contractual Relationship

Please note that the agreement for providing accommodation lies between you and the establishment itself. SafariNow. is not a party to or involved in that agreement. Our responsibility to you in terms of this agreement ends once you have booked or chosen not to book your accommodation.

Our Platform does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification or (star) rating, type of accommodation of any Trip Provider (or its facilities, venue, vehicles, (main or ancillary) products or services) made available, save as explicitly indicated or set out otherwise.

Bookings

Bookings cannot be confirmed prior to the payment of the deposit as set out in the quotation to secure the booking reflecting as available in our account and accordingly the availability of any accommodation cannot be guaranteed based on the quotation until such time as the funds are received and a booking confirmation message sent to you, advising that your booking is now confirmed. Please note that whilst SafariNow has set up bank accounts with all major banks in order to avoid any unnecessary payment processing delays, due to the nature of the banking system, SafariNow cannot control or facilitate the process whereby funds are reflected in our bank accounts. We are not responsible for the lapsing of any quotation or for any booking being lost due to a delay in the processing of any payment. Please note that once a booking is confirmed any funds received by SafariNow is passed to the establishment.  There may be a time delay in the funds being received by the establishment and as such affect when your booking confirmation is received. The average processing time is 4 (four) business days, but in certain instances it may be longer.  SafariNow does not hold any funds once a booking has been processed. 

We have put the necessary measures in place to ensure your personal and payment information remains secure. We make use of 3D Secure, which is an additional layer of online security that is now mandatory for all online retailers in South Africa. It’s also known as Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode. It helps prevent fraud by protecting you against unauthorized transactions on your card(s).  Once you have selected your payment method and accepted these Terms and Conditions, you will be directed to PayU’s secure site for payment of the applicable purchase price for the goods. Your payment will be presented to the bank for authorisation. Should such authorisation be declined, your order will be cancelled. Should the authorisation be successful, your order will be processed for delivery to you. Your payment details are held by PayU in a secure encrypted server. For further information regarding online payments with PayU please visit www.payu.co.za. This website will maintain a full record of every transaction concluded via this website for a period of 5 years from date of such sale. By accepting these terms and conditions, you consent to SafariNow processing your Personal Information for the purposes of administering payment. You consent to Safari Now sharing and procuring your Personal Information with and from contracted third parties, only insofar as it relates to payment, who may require such information in order to render a service to you and only if such contracted third party agrees to keep the information confidential.

 

Establishments

By booking with an establishment SafariNow does not warrant or make any representation as to the suitability of the accommodation to your booking request.  When booking any accommodation it is your responsibility to make sure you satisfy yourself as to the suitability of the accommodation.  In the instance where a facility does not match the description contained in the booking or is no longer in existence as at the time of the booking your recourse will be against that establishment and not SafariNow as booking agent. SafariNow undertakes to at all times cooperate with you and assist you in providing you with information relating to the relevant establishment and/or information around your booking.  

VAT INVOICE

SafariNow will provide you with a tax invoice on behalf of the Establishment.  You confirm that in the instance that the establishment provides you with a separate invoice, this will be a copy only and that it shall not be used in terms of the VAT Act to claim for the supply in addition to the invoice already supplied by SafariNow.

 

Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation terms vary between establishments, and those pertaining to each establishment are viewable at appropriate times during the reservations process. Please ensure you view these. In particular, you will be provided with an opportunity to view the cancellation policy of the particular establishment at the time of making your booking. If you are not satisfied that the policy is reasonable please do not make a booking.

If the establishment has not specified a cancellation policy, our default policy (Moderate) will apply, as set out below. Please note this policy will only apply where there is no establishment cancellation policy.

Where cancellation occurs:

• More than 7 days before check-in - 50% refund

• More than 30 days before check-in - 100% refund

On receipt of a cancellation request sent to [email protected], SafariNow will refund any amounts due within 5 working days of either the receipt of funds from the establishment or alternatively upon confirmation of cancellation in line with the provisions mentioned above. SafariNow is not liable for delays in receiving refunds from establishments.

Whilst SafariNow.com. undertakes to get the refund to you as soon as possible, due to the fact that we are merely facilitating the flow of funds from the establishment back to you we do not have control over the entire refund process and are reliant on the establishment.

Please note that chargebacks on card payments are not an alternative to cancellations of bookings. Chargebacks are a mechanism to prevent fraud and should not be abused. Any abuse will be reported to the card issuing bank.

All cancellations will be dealt with strictly in terms of the default cancellations policy set out above or the establishment’s cancellation policy. You will remain liable for cancellation fees as set out above irrespective of any chargeback being effected by you.

Note further that all chargeback notices will be investigated with your issuing bank and should it be determined that the chargeback was not validly requested you will be liable for the damages suffered by SafariNow.com. as a result of the chargeback including the fees charged by the issuing bank.

Double bookings, Incorrect Quotations and Non-Availability of Accommodation

From time to time accommodation establishments double book, which means that they confirm a reservation with a guest, and subsequently accept another booking for the same accommodation or for some reason accommodation becomes unavailable. We take this seriously and do everything we can to try and ensure it doesn’t happen. If it does, we’ll pull out all the stops to find reasonable, alternative accommodation.

However any agreement for accommodation and the associated rights and obligations are between you and the accommodation establishment. Due to the nature of how the service works SafariNow cannot and is not liable for any damages or loss you may suffer as a result hereof.

Please note that the quotation and booking constitutes an agreement between you and the establishment; SafariNow is only the booking agent. 

Purchased the Refund Protect Product

As a customer that has completed a booking with us and selected the 'Refund Protect' option, we will provide you with a refund on any unused booking if you are unable to attend the booked event due to any of the listed specified circumstances set out in the link below, for which you have made a request for a refund and have provided the information required to support your request, as set out in the link below.
