The Boring (But Necessary) Bit

We know—terms and conditions aren’t sexy.
They’re not fun, they’re not flirty, and they definitely won’t tie you up (unless you skip them).

But they are important.

To keep things running smoothly, safely, and fairly for everyone, we’ve had to word things a little more formally here. So please give them a read before you book—because once you’ve clicked “agree” you’re agreeing to all of it.

No surprises. No drama. Just grown-up stuff, written in slightly less exciting language.
