Yotomu, owner of the Website yotomu.com (hereafter the “Website”), is a company dedicated to the intermediary services of reservation and booking third party activities, excursions guided tours and other touristic activities throughout the world, for those Users who are interested in contracting said services. Yotomu places a platform yotomu.com at the disposition of its Users, through which a natural or legal person (hereafter “the User”) can pay and reserve tourist activities, excursions, guided tours and transfers.

1.- GENERAL CONDITIONS OF WEBSITE USE AND ACCESS

If you access, view, or use the materials, content, or services via the Website, this implies that the User understands and accepts these General Conditions of Use, which define the rights and obligations of Yotomu and the User, regards the contraction of touristic activities, guided tours and transfers.

These are the only General Conditions of Use applicable to the use of the Website (notwithstanding that some services may entail specific conditions) and to the contraction of services which supersede any other conditions, except in the case of a previous agreement in writing between Yotomu and the User.

To access the Website, User registration is not required. However, to be able to contract any of the services offered by Yotomu it is required that the User registers and accepts these conditions before making the corresponding payment.

2.- PURPOSE OF THE WEBSITE

Yotomu DOESN’T sell any experiences directly and is not the owner of the Tours listed

Yotomu has developed this Website to offer the User a service for the reservation of activities, excursions, and guided tours in different countries throughout the world.

Yotomu informs you that the activities, excursions and guided tours, are services provided by third parties, who collaborate with Yotomu (hereafter the Provider/s). Therefore Yotomu IS LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO THE RESERVATION OF ACTIVITIES, EXCURSIONS, GUIDED TOURS AND TRANSFERS, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, WHICH ARE THEMSELVES UNDERTAKEN DIRECTLY BY THE PROVIDERS.

In addition, via the Website, Yotomu offers its Users free travel guides to different destinations, which include photographs, information on transport, the most important tourist sites, an interactive map and different recommendations and advice related to the destination. The access and consultation of said travel guides can only be done online, and their commercialisation is prohibited, with the User accepting this use and being responsible for misuse and unauthorised use.

In general, the contraction of the services offered by Yotomu will take place between the User and Yotomu, although with certain providers Yotomu will be limited to offering its Website as an online platform through which providers offer their services to be contracted directly by Users. The form of agreement will be indicated in the voucher of the activity.

In this latter case, the User, when finalising the reservation, establishes a contractual relationship with the provider with whom they have reserved the activity or transfer. Yotomu will act as an intermediary between the User and provider, limited to transmit the relevant reservation details to the provider and sending the User an email confirmation of the reservation in place of the provider.

The information displayed by Yotomu through the Website is, in any case based on the information provided by the local providers.

3.- RESERVATION WITH YOTOMU AND REGISTRATION ON THE WEBSITE

To be able to make reservations via the Website, the User will have to provide their personal details (name, surname, e-mail, telephone and mobile), or in their case the data of the person in whose name the activity or transfer is being reserved, with Yotomu being able to make the reservation solicited by the User.

Users can also create a User Account by filling out the registration form on the Website. Through this account, the User will create a profile which will provide access to a private area of the Website, through which they can manage all the reservations made through said Website.

By accepting these General Conditions of Use, Users state that they will provide correct, exact, current and complete data about their identity, or the person in whose name the activity or transfer is being reserved. In this way, the Users will be responsible for the accuracy of the data given to Yotomu and of any consequences which could arise from errors in this information.

Users will bear full responsibility for the use of their account. Therefore they will also be responsible for the care and confidentiality of their Username and/or passwords which permit access to their account, and state that they will not provide use to third parties, whether temporary or permanent, nor provide access to said third parties.

In accordance with the former, Users must immediately notify Yotomu by email to info@yotomu.com any unusual activity regarding their User name and/or password, arising from circumstances such as theft, loss, or unauthorised use, so Yotomu can proceed to cancel or block as soon as the undue use of your User Account is known.
