MrFerry confirms all bookings on the basis of the requests made by the customer, even if it receives the same request several times; in this case, the cancellation of one or more bookings will be subject to a penalty and the fixed booking fee and the cost of any cancellation coverage purchased will be retained.

MrFerry reserves the right to make the acceptance of booking requests conditional on the verification of the availability and fares of the Shipping Companies at the time of confirmation, in addition, it may reserve the right not to proceed with the confirmation of the booking if it prudently considers insufficient time for the issuance and delivery of the ticket to the customer in its sole interest. In this case, MrFerry is only obliged to refund the amounts collected, which it will repay to the customer through the same payment method used for the reservation.

1.3. Departures and rates proposed by MrFerry are those officially published by the shipping companies. MrFerry, as intermediary, does not intervene in any way on the fares issued by the companies, but applies a booking fee as compensation for the administrative costs of handling the file.

Up to the final issue of the Ticket, the shipping companies have the right to change and adjust their fares at any time and without prior notice. However, in exceptional cases, after the Ticket has been issued, the Customer may be notified directly by the Company of any changes in tariffs (e.g. due to increases in fuel costs) or changes in routes, dates, departure and/or arrival times of ferries or the use of other carriers.

MrFerry is not responsible for the control of the prices and tariffs applied to the proposed trips, as well as it declines any responsibility related to the provision of the services booked through its platform, since the same are managed directly by the maritime companies and are subject to their terms and conditions.

All the services shown are available and bookable through Traghettilines, which facilitates price comparisons and bookings with ferry companies, excluding any obligation towards the user in relation to the management and provision of the transport service. It is therefore the responsibility of the user to ensure that he/she has read and understood the terms and conditions of sale and transport of the shipping company chosen.

1.4. For its part, MrFerry has the right to apply, in the interest of the customer, the best fares in force at the time of the issue of the ticket and resulting from any offers or promotional fares, even if the application of such particular fares would lead to the impossibility of refunding and/or modifying the ticket, in accordance with the conditions of sale of the selected shipping company.

The Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of the information provided during the booking process (routes, dates and times requested; number, age, names and dates of passengers; pets; type of accommodation; type and size of accompanying vehicles; e-mail address; telephone number; credit card information, etc.).

The Customer is also required to inquire in advance with the competent authorities about the documents necessary for the journey (e.g. identity cards, passports, consular visa, permits and health certificates for the transport of animals, etc.) and the requirements for the stay at the booked destination (e.g. restrictions on disembarkation and/or movement of vehicles provided by municipal regulations/ordinances or legal regulations in force in the municipalities/countries of the chosen destinations) for all passengers listed on the Ticket. As MrFerry cannot guarantee the constant updating of local regulations, it cannot be held responsible for the client's lack of documents or requirements required by the authorities. In any case, reference is made to the provisions of the regulations in force concerning restrictions and access and to the conditions of sale applied by the shipping companies.

1.7. A reservation request on the MrFerry platform does not automatically imply the assignment of accommodation/seats on board and tickets. It is a request that must be confirmed by MrFerry after checking availability and rates.

1.8. Customers may use the website to make reservations and purchases for their own and/or others with their consent. The Customer who makes the reservation online or by phone must have the authorization to confirm it on the behalf of all passengers and he is responsible to protect all personal information entered, assuring accuracy and completeness.

1.9. The customer traveling with a companion animal must also make a reservation for the pet and include it in the ticket. It is the responsibility of the customer to inquire in advance about the possibility of transportation of pets and compliance with the legal standards of the countries concerned. The customer undertakes to verify the regularity of the veterinary certificate and the health booklet and is obliged to verify the actual purchase of services for animals on board, where provided (for example, cabins with access for animals, kennels on board), being responsible for the purchase made. In any case, please refer to the terms of sale and conditions of carriage of the individual shipping companies concerned, which regulate the matter in detail.

2.2  The shipping companies have the right to change the tariffs at any time and without notice until the final issue of the ticket and, in exceptional cases, even after the issue, as indicated in point 1.3.

By sending the request for quotation, the customer accepts the offer, acknowledges and declares to have read and accepted the general conditions of sale of MrFerry, which will be sent together with the booking summary

The sending of the request for quotation does not imply the automatic assignment of the seat on board and the simultaneous issue of the ticket, but constitutes a mere request for quotation, subject to verification of availability and prices and confirmation by MrFerry.


MrFerry will confirm the offer upon receipt of the amount requested by the customer.

2.3 Any request for modification or cancellation of the reservation must be sent to MrFerry by e-mail to gruppi@prenotazioni24.it and will be subject to the time limits set forth in article 6 below. The time limits set out in point 6 will apply.

FREIGHT RESERVATIONS

3.1 MrFerry allows you to make reservations for commercial vehicles and drivers by sending the request for quotation from the dedicated freight and cargo transportation area or by contacting the Call Center.
The transportation of goods and commercial vehicles is subject to different and specific terms and conditions of sale and transportation, which are governed by the regulations used by the individual shipping companies as well as by the legal provisions in force, and which the shipper declares to be aware of and to have accepted when purchasing the service.  It is the shipper's duty to ensure that he/she is familiar with these General Conditions by exercising due diligence.

3.2 Cargo reservations are subject to special rates set by each carrier.

3.3  MrFerry gives the Sea Carrier the order of transportation as stated in the contract on behalf of the Carrier, who, through his drivers or company employees, delivers the cargo to the Carrier, takes care of its embarkation and related activities, and assumes responsibility for the booked services and the declared cargo/goods.

3.4 The balance of the fare, including the fees due to MrFerry, must be paid before the reservation is confirmed. Reservations are considered confirmed upon receipt of payment and the sending of the Reservation Summary containing the details and information of the voyage, as well as the Embarkation Declaration for the collection of the Bill of Lading at the port.

The price of the transport is calculated on the basis of the rates in force at the time of the purchase, which may be modified by the shipping company before the date of departure, in which case the final price to be paid will include the actual freight and the commission due to MrFerry for the brokerage service.

MrFerry will issue a monthly invoice based on the statement received from the shipping company. In case of discrepancy between the price already paid by the carrier and the price to be paid on the basis of the bill of lading issued, MrFerry reserves the right to obtain a tariff supplement up to the amount of the credit. For this purpose, the shipper authorizes MrFerry to debit the amount still due from the credit card indicated at the time of payment, the details of which will be kept for this sole purpose until the completion of the service.

3.5. It is the responsibility of the person making the reservation to determine whether or not the vehicle involved is a commercial vehicle, i.e., specifically licensed to transport goods, carry commercial goods, or transit for commercial purposes.

In fact, when booking, the shipper must indicate the correct dimensions, type and license plate of his vehicle, as well as whether he is transporting hazardous materials or goods. In the event that the commercial vehicle is mistakenly booked as a private vehicle, or in the event that the required data is not filled in or declared correctly, the availability and/or embarkation may not be guaranteed by the Carrier, who may decide to charge the full fare and refuse embarkation without refund, or to proceed with the transportation contract, subject to the right to demand payment of the relevant fare differences, taxes, penalties, if any, and related fees, which must be paid to MrFerry when the invoice is sent on the basis of the bill of lading actually issued

9. RESPONSIBILITIES

9.1. Traghettilines, in its capacity as intermediary and mandatary of the consumer, facilitates the meeting of supply and demand between passengers and Maritime Companies, thereby enabling the conclusion of transport contracts, namely the purchase of maritime tickets. The liability of the intermediary shall be strictly limited to the performance of the mandate entrusted by the consumer, which is discharged upon delivery of the tickets. Accordingly, Traghettilines shall bear no liability whatsoever for the provision of the transport service or its operational management, in compliance with applicable Italian and European legislation.

The Customer acknowledges and accepts that Traghettilines shall not be liable for any failure, alteration or incorrect performance of the services rendered by the Carrier, where such services have been duly booked and recorded on the travel document issued by Traghettilines on behalf of the passengers. Consequently, in the event that the Carrier cancels or modifies itineraries, departure and/or arrival dates or times, accommodations, or other contractual elements, or substitutes different carriers, vessels or hydrofoils from those initially booked, such liability shall rest exclusively with the Carrier, which shall remain responsible for the provision of suitable alternatives and for the assistance owed to passengers. 

In the event of cancellation or delay exceeding ninety (90) minutes, the Carrier shall be required to offer the passenger the choice between: (i) alternative transport to the final destination under comparable conditions, or (ii) reimbursement of the ticket price for the unused portion of the journey. Should the Customer elect reimbursement, such reimbursement shall be effected by Traghettilines solely upon receipt of confirmation from the Carrier of the actual non-performance of the transport service for reasons not attributable to the Customer. 

Purtuant to Regulation (EU) No. 1177/2010, passengers shall be entitled to claim compensation in the event of delay and/or cancellation, in accordance with the terms defined therein, depending on the duration of the disruption or the failure to provide the service. The Regulation further imposes upon the Carrier, or in certain circumstances the port agent, the obligation to inform all passengers of any changes to schedules or cancellations. In alignment therewith, Articles 403 and 404 of the Italian Navigation Code place the obligation upon the Carrier, and not upon the intermediary, to provide adequate alternatives and compensation in the event of cancellations or delays in the performance of the transport service. 

Accordingly, Traghettilines shall not be held liable for any damages, indirect or consequential losses, or additional expenses arising from cancellations or modifications of departures, including but not limited to the cost of unused accommodation, missed connections, disruptions or ancillary costs incurred by the Customer.  .

9.2. The customer agrees to take financial responsibility for all transactions carried out on their behalf and confirms the accuracy of the information provided about themselves and the passengers listed in the reservation.

MrFerry shall not be held liable in the event that the Shipping Company denies boarding to one or more booked passengers, or requests a fare adjustment of the ticket, or cancels its validity, due to discrepancies between the data provided by the customer at the time of the booking and the personal and/or vehicle documents that are presented at the time of boarding or during check-in.

9.3 It is the customer's duty to ensure that he/she is familiar with these General Terms and Conditions of Prenotazioni24, as well as of the individual Shipping Company, using ordinary diligence. The customer is personally liable for failure to comply therewith.
MrFerry disclaims any responsibility for the non-publication on its website of the extraordinary conditions applied by the Shipping Companies in emergency situations, for which the customer is required to independently inquire with due diligence through the appropriate channels.

9.4. MrFerry shall not be held responsible for interruptions or technical malfunctions of the booking system not attributable to it and related software.

9.5. MrFerry is only responsible for losses that result directly from its intermediation activities, as well as from the violation of these General Conditions.
