Please read this agreement carefully as by using this website you will be taken to have agreed to be bound by it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF GOODS AND/OR SERVICES
St Lucia SA is a business in the South African tourism industry that markets accommodation online.
DELIVERY POLICY
Subject to receipt of payment, requests for accommodation will be processed within one hour of receipt thereof and confirmed by way of an email to you containing a booking ID.
CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS POLICY
Each accommodation establishment on the stluciasa.com website has its own cancellation policy.
This policy shall be viewable by you during the reservation process, and is legally binding.
On receipt of a written instruction from you to cancel a reservation, any amount owed to you by the accommodation establishment in question, in terms of its cancellation policy, will be paid to stluciasa.com, whereafter we shall on-pay the received refund to you within 3 working days after our receipt thereof.
Late cancellations will be subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant accommodation establishment’s cancellation policy and St Lucia SA shall not be obliged to make any payments to you in the event that you are not entitled to a refund in terms of the terms and conditions of the relevant accommodation establishment’s cancellation policy.
DOUBLE BOOKINGS
In the event that an accommodation establishment accepts more than one booking reservation for the same space of accommodation over the same period of time, and at least one of these reservations is booked through stluciasa.com, the accommodation establishment will be in breach of contract with St Lucia SA.
In such an event, the accommodation establishment is required in terms of the contract between St Lucia SA and the accommodation establishment to offer suitable alternative accommodation to you. If the accommodation establishment fails to do so, then St Lucia SA will do so on its behalf, or refund you in full.
The aforesaid contract between St Lucia SA and the accommodation establishment stipulates that the relevant accommodation establishment shall be liable for a severe penalty where it accepts more than one booking reservation for the same space of accommodation over the same period of time. These penalties are significant enough to ensure that such breach of contract by accommodation establishments does not occur regularly.

Payment may be made via Visa or MasterCard credit cards or direct bank deposits.
CREDIT CARD ACQUIRING AND SECURITY
