8. GREEK LAWS AND CONDUCT:
All participants in tours operated by Santorini Yachting Club are expected to respect and abide by the Greek laws and regulations and any failure to do so will relieve Santorini Yachting Club of all obligations that they may otherwise have under these booking conditions. Any damage or losses caused by a Client is the responsibility of the Client. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid at the time direct to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier. If the Client fails to do so, the Client will be responsible for meeting any claims (including legal costs) subsequently made against Santorini Yachting Club as a result of the Clients actions. Santorini Yachting Club expects the Client to have consideration for other people. If, in Santorini Yachting Club’s opinion, any Client behaves in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, annoyance or distress to any third party or damage to property, Santorini Yachting Club is entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the tour of the Client concerned. In this situation, the Client concerned will be required to leave the tour. Santorini Yachting Club will have no further responsibility towards the Client.

Anyone suffering from illness or disability or undergoing treatment for any physical or medical condition must declare the true nature of such condition at the time of booking and make arrangements for the provision of any medication or other treatment required during the tour. Failure to make such disclosure will constitute a breach of these booking conditions and result in such persons being excluded from the tour in which case all monies paid will be forfeit. This will not prevent the Client from participating in the tour but will enable Santorini Yachting Club to take additional precautions for the Client’s safety and enjoyment at such times as may be appropriate.
10. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT:
If the Client has a complaint about any of the tour arrangements the Client must bring it to the attention of the tour leader at the time so that they may use their best endeavours to rectify the situation. It is only if Santorini Yachting Club is made aware of any problems that there will be the opportunity to put things right. Failure to complain on the spot will result in the Client’s ability to claim compensation from Santorini Yachting Club being extinguished. Should the problem remain unsolved a complaint must be made in writing to Santorini Yachting Club within 5 days of the completion of the tour.
