7. Payments and Fees

Some features of Be Underwater may require payments, such as subscription fees or transaction fees. By using our services, you agree to pay all applicable fees as outlined during the payment process. All payments are processed securely, and you will receive confirmation of your transaction.

7.1 Payment Methods

We accept a variety of payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, and online payment services. By providing payment information, you represent that you have the legal right to use the chosen payment method.

7.2 Refunds

Payments are non-refundable unless otherwise specified. If you believe there has been an error with your payment or if you require a refund, please contact our support team.

9. Cancellations and Refunds

9.1 Dive Center Cancellations

If a dive center cancels a booking with less than one week's notice, they will be responsible for covering any applicable commission fees. These fees will not be refunded to the dive center, and the diver will receive a full refund for the canceled experience. This is to ensure that divers are not financially impacted by last-minute cancellations.

However, if the cancellation is due to unavoidable adverse conditions such as severe weather or other force majeure events, Be Underwater will cover the commission fees, ensuring the diver receives a full refund and dive center is not affected either. Dive centers must provide valid proof of the circumstances leading to the cancellation to qualify for this exception.

9.2 Diver Cancellations

A diver can book their course, and their card will be authorized at the time of booking. The payment will be processed one week before the course starts. If the diver cancels before this point, the authorization will be voided, and no charge will be made. However, if they cancel after payment has been processed, no refund will be issued.

If a diver books a course that starts in less than a week, the payment will be charged immediately.

If a diver needs to reschedule, they should contact the dive center via chat, but rescheduling is not guaranteed.

9.3 No-shows

In the event of a no-show, where the diver does not attend their scheduled booking without prior cancellation, no refund will be issued. The dive center will still receive the payment, less the commission fees. This policy ensures that dive centers are compensated for reserving resources and maintaining readiness for scheduled dive experiences.
