Please note that where ELyS arranges accommodation, transportation, experiences or other services provided by third parties, such services are supplied by independent providers.

While we strive to ensure the highest standards, ELyS cannot guarantee the availability, performance or quality of services provided by third parties.

Any contract for the provision of third-party services is concluded directly between the client and the respective service provider, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

  • Payment Terms: Payment for ELyS services and, where applicable, third-party services arranged on your behalf, must be made using the payment method specified at the time of booking. Deposits, advance payments or full prepayment may be required depending on the requested service and the applicable supplier's terms.

  • Cancellations and Refunds:

    • Cancellation and refund policies vary depending on the specific service and, where applicable, the terms and conditions of the relevant third-party service provider.

    • Any applicable cancellation fees, supplier charges or non-refundable amounts will be communicated to the client prior to confirming the booking.

    • Where ELyS acts as an intermediary, refunds relating to third-party services are subject to the applicable supplier's cancellation and refund policy.

    • Fees charged by ELyS for its own concierge, coordination, planning or intermediary services are non-refundable once the relevant service has been performed, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
