12.1 When making a booking, the first individual named in the booking (“booking leader”) agrees, on behalf of all of the individuals detailed in the booking, that he or she:
a) Has read these booking conditions, will communicate them to the individuals making up the booking and has the authority and agrees to be bound by them;
b) Consents to us using personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and is authorised on behalf of all of the individuals named in the booking to reveal their personal data to us, including, where applicable, special categories of data (such as information about health conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements);
c) Is of legal age and, when placing an order for services which may include minors, declares that he or she and all of the participants are of an appropriate age to acquire those services;
d) Accepts financial responsibility for paying for the booking on behalf of all of the individuals detailed in the booking.
12.2. The booking procedure consists of various steps:
- step 1: selection of the date of play, number of players and round;
- step 2: selection of the time of play and the relevant price;
- step 3: validation of the summary of the booking details, including the date and time of play, the number of players, the course, the round and the total price;
- step 4: contact form for the individual making the booking and acceptance of the general terms and privacy policy;
- step 5: payment gateway where card numbers are entered;
- step 6: confirmation of the booking and summary of the booking details, including the name, surname(s) and contact details of the individual who will be using the service booked and the details of that service (course, round, date and time of play, number of people, price paid). The booking procedure concludes with this step.
12.3. Any cancellations must be dealt with by the clubhouse,via email at contactcenter@pgaoceans4.com or by calling:
- For callers from the USA
+1 888-603-1619 - For callers from Dominican Republic
+1 849 200 1232 - For callers from any country
+1 786-384-5797
A booking may be cancelled at no cost up to 72 hours prior to the date of play. If the booking is cancelled 48 hours or less prior to the date of play, or in the event of a no-show, there shall be no entitlement to a refund.
In the event of a delay, it will be possible to play at the next available time of play on the day of the booking. If there is no time of play available, there shall be no entitlement to a refund.
If the booking leader does not appear on the day of the booking, it will be considered a no-show.
The booking date and time can be changed at no cost up to 24 hours in advance, by calling the above telephone numbers, provided that the price of the new date and time is the same as the initial price. If the new price is higher, it will be necessary to pay the difference.
12.4. 100% of the booking cost will be charged at the time of purchase and the payment must be made using a Visa or Mastercard credit card. The amount will be charged in the currency shown throughout the booking process and, therefore, if it is not your local currency, there may be differences due to changes in the exchange rate, for which PROMOCIONES BP LA ROMANA, S.R.L. is not liable.
When the booking leader arrives at the clubhouse reception desk, he or she must present the same credit card as used to pay for the booking and proof that he or she is the cardholder. Please remember that the expiry date of your card must not be earlier than the date of arrival at the clubhouse.
Prices in other currencies shown during the booking process are for information purposes only and are subject to daily changes in the exchange rate.
The price includes only the services listed in the booking confirmation, which must be presented when checking in at the clubhouse.
12.5. A binding contract is established between us when we send our confirmation invoice to the booking leader. We both agree that the law of the country in which the service is provided (and no other) shall apply to the contract and any dispute, claim or any other matter, of any description, arising between us (except as provided for below).
12.6 We endeavour to respect start times at the time of the booking. However, from time to time, the golf courses are entitled to change the start times, due to the flexibility they need to organise members’ competitions. In such circumstances, we will inform them of the impact it may have on the original start times which they have confirmed and we will do everything possible to find a suitable solution, but we do not accept liability for such a change. A degree of flexibility is therefore required.
Furthermore, the golf courses are entitled to carry out emergency maintenance work, if they feel the need to do so, and we cannot accept any liability for the state of the golf courses in such circumstances.
Similarly, with regard to the availability of golf buggies, we cannot accept liability for the availability or otherwise of the buggies, unless they form an integral part of the package, in which case it is our duty to inform you. Obviously, where, at the time of making the booking, you have stated that you can only play with a buggy, we will endeavour to inform you. However, weather conditions also play a part in the closure of golf courses and, at times, it may be the case that buggies are not available in the short term. Customers need to understand that such things can happen. There are no refunds and there is no valid compensation in such situations.
12.7. Unless expressly stated otherwise in these booking conditions, we regret that we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where compliance with, or the prompt performance of, our obligations under this contract with you is impeded or affected by the involvement of third parties unconnected with the service provider, or where, in some other way, you suffer any harm or loss as a result of force majeure, or where it is entirely your own fault of that of any of the individuals making up the booking. In these booking conditions, “force majeure” means any event beyond our control or that of our provider, the consequences of which could not have been avoided, even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include war and acts and terrorism (and the threat of such acts), strikes, major risks to human health, such as outbreaks of serious diseases at the travel destination, pandemics or natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or to stay there, acts of any government or other national or local authority, including port or river authorities, employment disputes, industrial action, the closure of floodgates, natural or nuclear disasters, chemical fires or biological disasters, unavoidable technical problems affecting transport and any similar events occurring outside our sphere of influence or that of our provider or providers.
