When buying or ordering any services on the Website, you authorize the Payment Provider to initiate payments using your selected payment method and collect the transaction amounts on behalf of us or the Professional User. Accordingly, payments received by the Payment Provider from you will satisfy your obligations to pay us or the Professional User in the amount of payments received.

If there is a dispute between You and a Payment Provider, You understand and agree that Salonkee is under no obligation to become involved.

Salonkee is not responsible for any foreign currency exchange fees or surcharges and will not make any compensation or reimbursement for charges imposed by your bank or card issuer.

Salonkee acts as Merchant of Records (“MoR”) and manages interactions with its Professional Users (“Sub-Merchants”). The MoR performs due diligence by overseeing and controlling all commercial activity on the Website. The responsibilities of Salonkee acting in its obligation as MoR include:

  • managing all transactions, refunds, cancellations and disputes;

  • ensuring that no illegal, prohibited or counterfeit products or services are sold.

13. VOUCHERS

13.1

Sale of Vouchers.
Depending on the applicable jurisdiction, Salonkee vouchers (“Vouchers”) may or may not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes assessable by any local, state, provincial or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes”). If Salonkee has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which User is responsible, the appropriate amount will be invoiced.

13.2

Redemption.
Vouchers may only be redeemed via the purchase of eligible goods and services provided by a Salonkee’s Professional Users. Proceeds from Voucher online purchases are directly transferred to the Professional User’s bank account. Any unused voucher balance will be shown in the Salonkee Professional User’s account.

13.3

Limitations.
Vouchers may only be redeemed for new bookings. The redemption must occur upon booking. Vouchers cannot be used to purchase other Vouchers (= gift cards). In the event an appointment is cancelled by the User, the discounted Voucher amount will not be reallocated or refunded. Vouchers are non-refundable in exchange of cash and cannot be sold, exchanged or transferred. Vouchers may not be reallocated to another Professional User. Partially used Vouchers or remaining balances of an already used Voucher may not be transferred between Users or reallocated to other Professional Users.

13.4

Risk of Loss.
The risk of loss and title for Voucher passes on to the User upon our electronic transmission of the Voucher to the purchaser or designated recipient, or our delivery to the carrier, whichever is applicable. We are not responsible if any Voucher is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without your permission. We do not accept liability for Vouchers which are lost, stolen or used without authority. In case you think your Voucher has been lost or stolen, please contact us directly via e-mail support.null@salonkee.salonkee.com, we will investigate and do our best to provide you with your lost code.

Fraud.
Salonkee reserves the right to any remedy, including refusal to issue or honour a Voucher bought on the Salonkee website in the event of suspected fraud. We will have the right to close accounts and bill alternative forms of payment if a fraudulently obtained Voucher is redeemed and/or used to make purchases in a Professional User’s salon. Salonkee is not liable if a Voucher is refused by a former Professional User. In purchasing a Voucher from a Professional User there is a binding contract created between You and the Professional User, not Salonkee, regarding the provision of services or supply of products.

13.6

Disputes.
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to Vouchers will be resolved in accordance with the present Terms of Use.

13.7

Returns of reimbursements.
Vouchers cannot be returned or reimbursed.

14. PRE-PAYMENT, CANCELLATION, NO-SHOW AND FINE PRINT

14.1

Some of our Professional Users request pre-payments, in the form of deposits, card-on-file or pre-authorizations for the reservation of specific services, service combinations or certain User booking behaviors. The Professional User has three different possibilities to manage booking related payments:

  1. Card on File:
    In this case, your card or online wallet will be tokenized (i.e. your payment information is linked to your User profile) for later payment processing. The card will not be charged by Salonkee until the appointment is either cancelled under the circumstances below or honored and paid in person directly to the Professional User. By making such a service reservation with a Professional User, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Professional Userindicated on the checkout page at the time of the booking.
  2. Preauthorization:
    In this case, the relevant amount will be blocked (not debited) by Salonkee on your credit card 7 days before the date of the booking (called an "Authorization Hold" or "Preauthorization") until the appointment is either cancelled under the circumstances below or honored and paid in person directly to the Professional User. For sake of clarity, the Authorization Hold on your credit card provided at the time of booking will not necessarily be made at the time of the booking but only 7 days before the date of the appointment. By making such a service reservation with a Professional User, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Professional User indicated on the checkout page at the time of the booking.
  3. Deposits:
    In this case, a predefined amount (a certain percentage of the total booking value) will be charged on your card or wallet directly after your booking. In case the appointment is cancelled under the circumstances below, the deposit may be lost. In case the appointment has been honored, the deposit will be deducted from the total ticket value to be paid in person directly to the Professional User at the end of the appointment. By making such a service reservation with a Professional User, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Professional User indicated on the checkout page at the time of the booking.

The general cancellation and no-show policy foresees different scenarios depending on when you have cancelled your appointment (pursuant to 14.2 and 14.3 below). If you wish to change an appointment less than 12, 24, 48 or 72hrs (as determined by the Professional User) in advance, and do not wish to lose your deposit, you may contact the Professional User directly to arrange a new day/time. This is completely at the discretion of the Professional User and in case of dispute, by default, the above rules apply. If the Professional User is unable to accommodate your request to reschedule or cancel your appointment, your eligibility for a refund will depend on whether or not the appointment was due to take place in the next 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours (as determined by the relevant Professional User). If there is a dispute between You and a Professional User, You understand and agree that Salonkee is under no obligation to become involved.

14.2

If your appointment was not due to take place within the next 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours (as determined by the relevant Professional User), your appointment will be treated as cancelled by you and you will not be charged (Card on File), receive a refund (Deposits), authorization will be released (Preauthorization); or

14.3

If your appointment was due to take place within the next 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours (as determined by the relevant Professional User), your appointment will be treated as cancelled by you and you will be charged the respective cancellation fee (Card on File or Preauthorization), not receive a refund (Deposits).

14.4

As stated above, no refund will be made with less than 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours (as determined by the Professional User) notice on cancellation. This also means that if a booking is made and prepaid less than 12 hours in advance of the appointment, there is no refund of the prepaid amount. In case of cancellation or change up to 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours (as determined by the Professional User) before the appointment, the amount blocked on your card will be released back to you (Preauthorization), or you will not be charged (Card on File). The release of a preauthorized amount can take some time depending on which card/bank you are affiliated to.

In any other cases, the above policy shall be used to process your prepayment and the amount will be debited from your account. Any whole or partial refund will be made in accordance with the original payment method. Please note that for a reservation which requires prepayment (wholly or partly), your booking may be cancelled (without a prior notice of default or warning) insofar the relevant (remaining) amount(s) cannot be collected in full on the relevant due or payment date in accordance with the relevant payment policy of the Professional User's salon and the reservation. Late payment, wrong bank, debit or credit card details, invalid credit/debit cards or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account and you shall not be entitled to any refund of any (non-refundable) prepaid amount. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with Salonkee cancellation, (pre)payment and no-show policy or not be entitled to any repayment of any (pre)paid amount. We recommend that you read the cancellation, (pre)payment and no-show policy of Salonkee carefully prior to making your reservation and remember to make further payments on time as may be required for the relevant reservation. The statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to cancellations / no-shows as dated booking relates to leisure services where time has been set aside by the Professional User.

15. TERMINATION

15.1

Salonkee reserves the right in its sole discretion to terminate Your Website account, delete User Data and restrict Your use of all or any part of the Website for any reason, without notice, and without liability to You or anyone else. If User does not log in to the Website for 12 or more months, Salonkee may treat the Account as "inactive" and permanently delete the account, User Data and any other data associated with it.

15.2

We may suspend or terminate your use of the Website account if you are not complying with these Terms, our documentation, or if you use the Website in any way that could cause us legal liability or disrupt others’ use of the Website.

16. DISPUTES AND APPLICABLE LAW

16.1

Disputes.
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to (pre)payment will be resolved on the basis of the present Salonkee Terms of Use. Salonkee is under no obligation to provide you with a credit note or refund in the case you are not satisfied with the services from one of our Professional Users. Notwithstanding the above, we take your experience seriously and in the event of a disagreement we urge you to speak to our Professional User directly.
If this is not resolved, then you may always use the 'review' section of our site to express your dissatisfaction. Finally, you can contact Salonkee and will use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve the issue with the Professional User. In exceptional circumstances, and at Salonkee’s sole discretion, we may decide to refund/credit the sole or partial amount of the prepayment. The above should only be seen as a gesture of goodwill and is not in any way a responsibility to you for the services provided by our Professional Users.

16.2

These Terms of Use and all non-contractual obligations due or correlated to them are governed and construed according to the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
