    1. This Website, App and Widget are operated by SailoonsApp Complex Center Sole Proprietorship LLC, a company registered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and whose registered office is at ________________Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates with VAT registration number ************* ("Sailoons", "us", "we" or "our" for short).
    2. The Website and App allow you to book and pay for a broad range of hair and beauty services from a variety of providers (our Partners). Those Services are provided by our various Partners and not by us. The provision of the Services booked via our Website or App is the responsibility of the Partner which provides them. In the event you pay for Services via the Website or App, your payment will be received by us acting as commercial agent on behalf of the Partner. If we receive payment as commercial agent on behalf of the relevant Partner, our receipt of the correct payment will discharge your debt to that Partner.
    3. The legal implications of this is that when you purchase Services, with the exception of Orders made using the “Pay at Venue” option on the Widget where no binding contract is formed, it will create two binding legal contracts:
      1. a contract between you and Sailoons (under which Sailoons has certain responsibilities to you in relation to the purchase or booking) (the “Sailoons Contract”). That contract is made based on these Booking Terms and Conditions; and
      2. a contract between you and the relevant Partner in respect of the provision or supply of the Services which you book through the Websites or App (the “Partner Contract”). That contract is subject to certain provisions of these Booking Terms and Conditions including the cancellation period selected by the Partner, which we will notify you of before you make a booking on the relevant Partner's page on the Websites or App.
    4. All Services available for purchase on the Websites or App are offered by Sailoons on behalf of its Partners. That is, Sailoons takes and concludes your bookings as a commercial agent for its Partners. Therefore, we are not responsible or liable to you for the actual Services that are booked through the Website or App.
    5. We amend these Booking Terms and Conditions from time to time. Every time you wish to make an Order on the Website or App, please check these Booking Terms and Conditions to ensure you understand the terms which will apply at that time.

3.  Orders and how the contract is formed between you and us

    1. There are two types of order ("Order") you can make on the Website or via our App: (a) Orders for Services and (b) Orders for SailoonsCoins.
    2. The Order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your Order to us. Please take the time to read and check your Order at each stage of the Order process and before finally submitting your Order.
    3. We are appointed as the commercial agent of the Partner to conclude Dated Bookings on its behalf and the Partner Contract will be formed when we send you a written confirmation (usually by email) (“Order Confirmation"). Your Order Confirmation is your receipt from Sailoons. If you require a VAT receipt you need to contact the Partner directly.
    4. For Dated Bookings, if you wish to reschedule your appointment details (time/date) (in whole or in part) after you have received an Order Confirmation, provided your appointment is not due to take place within the next 1 hour (or otherwise as determined by the Partner and as shown on the booking page before you make your appointment), then please either do so via the Website or App (if available), by following the link in your Order Confirmation, by contacting us via this web form, or directly with the Partner, and we will endeavour to offer you a suitable alternative time and/or date. Please note that our ability and the Partner’s ability to accommodate your request will be subject to the Partner’s availability during the time you wish to reschedule. If we are unable to accommodate your request to reschedule your appointment, whether or not you are eligible for a refund will depend on whether or not your appointment is due to take place in the next 24 hours

    4. In the event you have a negative experience with Sailoons or one of our Partners, you may be entitled to a credit note to spend on the Website and/or App equivalent to the full value of your Order (the "Sailoons Guarantee"). Please note that the following limitations apply to your ability to benefit from the Sailoons Guarantee and Sailoons's decision to apply the Sailoons Guarantee remains at the sole discretion of Sailoons. Please note that Sailoons is currently running a trial of the Sailoons Guarantee and it may be revoked at any time at Sailoons's sole discretion:

7. Price and Payment 

             

    1. Prices and any applicable delivery and/or processing charges will be as quoted on the Websites or App but may be subject to change by Sailoons or Partners at any time (in which case the Websites or App will be updated accordingly) and it is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the pricing and other information shown for certain Services is incorrect. If the Service’s correct price at the time of your Order is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your Order. If your Order has been accepted and you have been sent an Order Confirmation before the pricing error was realized, if the pricing error is obvious and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a pricing error, we will provide you with the option of reconfirming your Order at the correct price, failing which the Order will be cancelled. Where an Order is cancelled, we will refund you any sums you have paid.
    2. The Partner has full responsibility for accounting for VAT on the total value of the Order, where applicable. Sailoons does not charge you VAT on Orders as the Services are provided by the Partner, not by Sailoons. As a result, Sailoons cannot provide you with a VAT invoice in respect of your Order. You will need to contact the Partner direct to obtain a VAT invoice, where applicable.
    3. Unless it is available and you have opted for "Pay at Venue", payment for all Services must be made at the time of booking in pounds sterling by credit or debit card, or via a third party payment processor such as PayPal or by using the online payment facility ("Payment Facility"). If you do choose to pay via a third party payment processor, you will be redirected to their site to make payment and will be subject to their terms and conditions, privacy policy and other terms of use. Please check those carefully before confirming your Order. You will be responsible for protecting the confidentiality of your Website or App user ID and any password or other security information used by you to access your account on the Payment Facility. Any currency conversion costs or other charges incurred by you in making a payment will be borne by you in addition to the price due to us.
    4. Payments made through the Payment Facility are processed by third party payment services providers. Sailoons takes reasonable care to ensure that the Payment Facility is available and functioning at all times, but cannot guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to such Payment Facility, nor can we guarantee that the facility is virus or error free. We use third party payment service providers to process payments and because there are many factors beyond our control (such as delays in the banking system or in card networks), we cannot predict or guarantee the amount of time needed to complete the processing of your payment. Access to the Payment Facility may be occasionally restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services. We will attempt to provide reasonable notice of any scheduled interruptions to such Payment Facility and will do what we can to restore the facility as soon as reasonably possible.
    5. If you pay for Services via the Payment Facility, Sailoons will collect the payment in its capacity as the commercial agent of the relevant Partner. Once Sailoons has successfully received your payment for the Services, this will discharge your debt to the Partner on whose behalf Sailoons has collected the payment.
    6. For certain Dated Bookings, there may be an option for you to make a "Pay at Venue" booking. This means that you can make the Order but then pay for it directly to the Partner at the time of the appointment (i.e. not pay for the Order in advance through the Payment Facility). Please note, this option is not available in all circumstances. This option will only appear if the Order and the Partner are both eligible for “Pay at Venue”.
    7. Please note that when you make a "Pay at Venue" Order on the Website or App, you are still entering into a binding legal contract in respect of the Order and once your Order Confirmation is sent and the Partner Contract has been formed, you must pay the Partner in full when you (or the recipient of the Services) attend the appointment. If you fail to show up to an appointment that you have not paid for you will still be liable to the Partner for the full amount due under the Partner Contract, unless cancelled in accordance with clause 5. In all cases the Partner Contract will be subject to these Booking Terms and Conditions including the cancellation period selected by the Partner.
    8. We offer our Partners a “Payment Protection” service offering protection to the Partner in the event that you make a “Pay At Venue” Order and you subsequently do not show up to your appointment, or cancel or reschedule outside of the Partner’s cancellation and rescheduling terms and clause 5 of these Booking Terms and Conditions (“Missed Appointment”). If we provide these Services to your selected Partner:
      1. you will be notified that the Order will be protected in the event of a Missed Appointment on the booking page;
      2. we will ask you to provide your card details to protect the Order prior to completing the booking;
      3. in the event of a Missed Appointment, we will debit your card for the full amount of the Order on behalf of the Partner.
      4. If you attend your appointment as planned, your card will not be debited and instead you will pay in the Partner’s venue at the time of your appointment by whatever payment method you choose. Our “Payment Protection” functionality will always be used in accordance with clause 10.4 and 10.5 above and be subject to these Booking Terms and Conditions.

8. Liability

            

    1. Where we have been negligent and/or breached a contractual obligation to you, we will be liable for any loss or damage you suffer as a result, provided that loss and/or damage is foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our negligence or breach of contract, or would have been considered by you and us to be a likely consequence of it at the time we entered into the Sailoons Contract.
    2. We do not accept any liability for the following types of loss, whether caused by breach of contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, even if the loss is foreseeable: loss of income or revenue; loss of business; loss of profits; loss of anticipated savings; or waste of management or office time.
    3. We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury arising from our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under UAE law.
