We do not guarantee that the Website functions without error or always available, therefore, we are not liable for any damage that is the consequence of the Website not functioning (safely).

Article 4 – Credit card or payment through bank transfer

My Italy uses the booking conditions of each individual Operator. Payment of any amount specified in your booking (including applicable taxes, surcharges and extra items) is not payable to My Italy, but directly to the Operator.
The Operator can ask a percentage of the total amount of your booking as a down payment.
A down payment takes place through an international bank transfer or by providing the Operator with your credit card details during the reservation process (your card can be pre-charged). The remainder of the booking sum has to be paid at the moment of arrival, departure, or a number of weeks before arrival (as in that case is specified in the booking conditions).
Operators that do not require a down payment can nonetheless require your credit card details in order to guarantee the booking and cover possible cancellation fees.
The booking conditions and payment method of the operator of your choice are mentioned on the booking form that is used in order to confirm the booking and on the voucher. You can also, at any stage of the booking process, ask My Italy for this information.

Article 5 – Cancellation and no-show

By making a reservation with one of the Operators, you agree that the relevant cancellation policy of that Operator applies. This cancellation policy can be found on the booking form or on the voucher you have received from us.
In case the payment or down payment has not been made in time, a booking can, without requiring a default notice or warning, be cancelled by the Operator. It is your own responsibility to make the (down) payment or provide the Operator with your credit card details in time (bear in mind that if a pre-charge from your credit card fails, your booking may also be cancelled).
The Operator can also decide to annul your booking and deny you access to the accommodation if, upon arrival, it is discovered that the information on the voucher is incorrect or incomplete. Some examples of this are:
- arriving with more persons than has been booked for;
- children that have deviating ages from those that have been specified;
- not informing the Operator beforehand about pets.
The above mentioned examples are illustrative, not limitative.
In case the Operator cancels your reservation as a consequence of an overbooking, strike, force majeure or any other occurrence over which she has no control, it is the responsibility of the Operator (within her possibilities) to offer you a suitable and equivalent alternative. It is your choice whether or not to accept this alternative. My Italy does not bear any responsibility and refuses any liability for such cancellations. My Italy, can, however, assist you with the communication with the Operator.
If you want to cancel your reservation via My Italy, this must be done in writing, at least three days before the cancellation period has expired so that My Italy can communicate your cancellation to the Operator in a timely manner. You may also cancel your reservation directly with the Operator, in accordance with the conditions on your voucher. Any cancellation is only final once you have received written confirmation thereof by My Italy or the Operator. Bear in mind that, in accordance with the cancellation policy of the Operator, a cancellation fee may be charged.
