10 CANCELLATION AND COMPLAINTS

10.1 In principle, a Landlord cannot cancel a Rental Agreement unless circumstances arise that the Landlord could not foresee or control (force majeure). If this happens, the following applies:

If the lease agreement is not approved by the landlord, the money will be refunded to the tenant. If the rental is canceled by the tenant within 24 hours or less before the start of the lease, the customer will only be refunded 50% of the rental cost based on the fact that the owner could have reserved the time and could have had other lease terms if the cancellation had occurred earlier. The landlord will then receive the remaining amount for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation.

10.2 If the Landlord does not deliver or hand over the Rental Property to the Tenant according to the time specified in the Lease Agreement, the Provider, if the Tenant and Landlord do not agree on a new rental period within seven (7) days, will refund the rental amount to the Tenant. Ship O'Hoi deducts 5% of each amount paid as a covering cost for transaction fees.

10.3 A Tenant can cancel as follows:

A cancellation must be made at least 24 hours before the start of the lease. If the Tenant cancels the reservation at least 25 hours before the rental start, the Tenant will receive a refund of the rental amount, minus the payment provider's transaction fees. The Landlord receives no payment. If the Tenant cancels the booking less than 24 hours before the first day of rental/lease start time, the Tenant will receive only a 50% refund, with a deduction for the supplier fee. The Landlord will receive payment, deducting the Provider's Fee.

10.4 Any complaints, objections, and claims for compensation in connection with the rental or Rental Property must be handled between the Tenant and Landlord without involving the Provider.

10.5 When a rental amount is to be refunded according to these Terms, the Provider sends a message directly to the Payment Provider handling the refund to the Tenant. It usually takes between 3-8 business days (bank days) for the refund to be completed.
