The date of the receipt of the e-mail shall be deemed to be the date of the cancellation and shall determine the amount of the cancellation fees due.
In case of a no show, 15 euros per person will be charged to the client.
Under no circumstance may these penalties be offset against the purchase of another service. Any booking that is not honoured shall be deemed to have been used by the client and shall not be refunded. Any service that is abandoned, i.e. if the client is not present on the date, time and place that shall have been indicated to him, shall not be refunded under any circumstance. Any change requested by the client shall be accepted subject to availability and subject to a fixed administration fee of 15 euros per person plus any supplement that the changes may lead to. If the client has specific wishes, he should fill in the section of the form entitled “Your comments”. Café de l’Homme does not guarantee that these additional requirements may be met. A booking cannot be cancelled or modified for this reason.

In the event of cancellation by the customer more than ten (10) days before the date of the booking, the customer shall have twelve (12) months to spend the amount of the deposit.
