When a booking is cancelled, TomsCatch makes no money. Depending on who cancels the fishing tour and when the cancellation is made, the deposit paid during the booking will be transferred either to the customer or to the captain.
Captains set their own cancellation policies. They can determine if the deposit is non-refundable, or 100% refundable with a certain number of days prior notice. If the customers cancels a trip with a non-refundable deposit cancellation policy, he or she will forfeit the deposit.
When Customers Cancel
If the customer cancels a fishing trip with a free cancellation policy (this is you can cancel cost-free if you cancel with at least x days prior to the fishing trip), the customer gets a full refund. If the customer cancels after that date, he or she will forfeit the deposit.
