Cancellation Policy
Summary
As a general rule, all bookings made with Okaeri Home Apartments are final and non-refundable. As an exception, the statutory right of withdrawal under the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code (CDC) applies under the conditions below, subject to retention of the applicable operational fee.
Rules
- •All bookings are made on a non-refundable basis except where this policy expressly provides otherwise.
- •Under the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code (CDC), the guest may request cancellation and a refund within 7 (seven) calendar days after making the booking, provided the request is made before the stay begins.
- •For bookings made fewer than 7 (seven) days before check-in, the deadline to request cancellation is 11:00 a.m. local time on the scheduled check-in date.
- •For same-day bookings made after the official check-in start time, cancellation with a refund is not available (see Check-in and Check-out Policy).
- •When a cancellation qualifies for a refund under this policy, 12% (twelve percent) of the total amount paid is retained to cover operational, administrative, and transaction-processing costs.
No full or partial refund is provided for:
- •Cancellation outside the deadlines stated above
- •Changes of dates
- •Reduction of the length of stay
- •No-show
- •Early departure
Failure to complete mandatory requirements before arrival at the condominium is not grounds for a refund, including signing the contract, providing the security deposit, submitting identification documents, missing documentation, failure to comply with occupancy rules, or attempted unauthorized accommodation.
Penalties
- •Cancellations made outside the deadlines established in this policy result in full retention of the booking amount, with no refund.
- •In the event of a no-show, the full booking amount remains due and non-refundable.
- •In the event of early departure, amounts already paid are not refunded, and the full originally booked period remains chargeable.
- •If the guest's failure to comply with the rules prevents check-in or causes termination of the stay, no refund is due and the full amount is retained.
Acceptance
By completing the booking, the guest acknowledges that the booked rate is, as a general rule, non-refundable except in the circumstances expressly stated in this policy, and fully agrees to all conditions set out herein, including retention of the operational fee when a refund applies.
The guest acknowledges that, outside the statutory deadlines and conditions described above, no refund is due, regardless of the reason for cancellation or modification of the booking.
