Latest update: april 2025

Hobbybooker Ltd

Last Updated: April 9, 2025

Welcome to Hobbybooker.com!

We help users research and book hobby experiences, post reviews of those experiences, and participate in interactive hobby forums. However, we are not a hobby business ourselves and do not directly offer any experiences. When you make a booking, you are purchasing a hobby service directly from a third-party hobbystore.

These Terms of Use apply to all use of Hobbybooker.com’s services. Please read them carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights and limitations, as well as the applicable law and jurisdiction governing disputes. By accessing or using Hobbybooker.com’s services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with all of the Terms, you may not access or use the services.

Definitions

A hobby business is a small or medium-sized enterprise centered around leisure activities, personal interests, or recreational pursuits. These businesses offer services or experiences that allow people to engage in hobbies such as sports, arts and crafts, music, dance, outdoor adventures, collecting, cooking, or other hands-on, passion-driven activities. Hobby businesses may be operated by individuals, clubs, or organizations and typically run through workshops, classes, events, or physical sessions.

Hobbystore

The complete online profile of a hobby business within the Hobbybooker.com platform. This includes listings of its hobby events and an introduction to the instructor(s).

Experience

Hobby event

Any service or experience offered by a hobby business that enables people to engage in hobbies.

These may not be copied, imitated, or used in whole or in part without prior written consent from Hobbybooker.com or the applicable rights holder.

10. Hobbystores and Booking Reservations

10.1

Hobbybooker.com operates the Platform through which you can enter into a contract with a third-party provider of hobby experiences (“Hobbystore”). Hobbybooker.com itself is not a Hobbystore.

10. Hobbystores and Booking Reservations (continued)

10.1

Hobbybooker.com provides the Platform through which you can enter into a contract with a third-party provider of a hobby event (“Hobbystore”). Hobbybooker.com is not the provider of any hobby event. Your contract for the supply of a hobby event is directly between you and the applicable Hobbystore.

10.2

Hobbystores may be either businesses or individual consumers. If you are a consumer resident in the UK or EU, and the Hobbystore you contract with is also a consumer, please be aware that you may not be able to enforce consumer protection rights against that Hobbystore.

10.3

For each Booking, Hobbybooker.com acts as a disclosed agent on behalf of the Hobbystore. The listing of an experience on the Platform constitutes an invitation to treat — meaning you are making an offer to the Hobbystore, which may be accepted or rejected. These Terms of Use govern your use of the Platform, including the process of submitting that offer.

The actual provision of the hobby event is governed by:

• The information displayed on the Website for the specific event;

• Any additional information provided during the Booking process;

• And the Hobbystore’s own terms and conditions.

If any information is unclear or essential to your decision (e.g., whether pets or service animals are allowed), it is your responsibility to contact us prior to Booking. Once your Booking is made, the cancellation policy of the relevant Hobbystore applies.

10.4
By making a Booking, you agree to review and comply with the applicable Hobbystore’s terms and conditions (“Hobbystore Terms”). If any part of the Hobbystore Terms conflicts with these Terms of Use — in relation to your legal relationship with Hobbybooker.com — these Terms of Use shall prevail.

You acknowledge that all interactions with Hobbystores are at your own risk. Hobbybooker.com is not liable for any acts, omissions, negligence, representations, warranties, or misconduct of any Hobbystore, nor for any injuries, losses, or damages resulting from your dealings with them.

10.5
Hobbybooker.com is not a hobby business and does not own, operate, or provide any Experiences. While we publish information about Products and facilitate the Booking process, this does not imply endorsement, approval, or affiliation with any Hobbystore. Ratings and reviews reflect the opinions of individual users and not Hobbybooker.com.

You agree that Hobbybooker.com is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of information obtained from Hobbystores or shown on the Website.

10.6

By making a Booking, you confirm that:

• You are at least 18 years old;

• You have the legal authority to enter into binding contracts, both with Hobbybooker.com and with the applicable Hobbystore;

• All information you provide is truthful and accurate;

• You will make only legitimate Bookings for yourself or those you are legally authorized to represent.

11. Pricing

11.1
Unless otherwise specified, all prices for hobby events are listed on a per-person basis.

11.2
Prices are based on the local currency at the time of quoting. Where conversions are shown, they are calculated using the prevailing foreign exchange rate determined by Hobbybooker.com. See Section 12 for details on currency conversions.

11. Pricing (continued)

11.3
All price quotations are subject to change without notice until a Booking has been confirmed.

11.4
Included services are determined by the Hobbystore. Prices do not include optional extras such as insurance, personal items, taxes or duties, or food and beverages unless explicitly stated as included by the Hobbystore.


 

12. Currency Conversions

12.1
If Hobbybooker.com provides a currency conversion tool, it is for guidance purposes only. Currency rates are based on public sources and are not verified. Actual rates may vary. Currency quotes may not be updated daily. Hobbybooker.com and its affiliates do not guarantee the accuracy of currency data and are not liable for price variations due to exchange rate fluctuations.

13. Payments

13.1
When you book a hobby event that is not free, Hobbybooker.com — via its payment provider Stripe — will collect and process your payment. In doing so, Hobbybooker.com acts as the authorized payment collection agent for the Hobbystore, meaning payment is collected on their behalf.

Full payment by credit or debit card is required at the time of Booking, unless otherwise indicated. On your statement, the charge may appear under “Hobbybooker.com” or “Stripe.”

13.2
Your Booking may be subject to applicable taxes, foreign transaction fees, or currency exchange costs. Your card provider may convert the charge into your local currency and apply additional fees. Hobbybooker.com recommends consulting your card issuer or bank if you have questions about currency conversion or foreign transaction fees.

________________________________________

14. Payment Processing

14.1
Payment services for Bookings are provided by Hobbybooker.com xyz or through Stripe (www.stripe.com). The registered office address of Hobbybooker.com Ltd is xyz.

14.2
For clarity, nothing in these Terms creates a contractual relationship between you and either Hobbybooker.com Ltd or Stripe.

15. Modifications or Cancellations by You

15.1
Once purchased, your Booking cannot be changed or canceled for a refund unless expressly allowed by the terms and conditions of the specific hobby event.

If you request to change any aspect of your Booking (e.g., time, location), it is at the sole discretion of the Hobbystore whether to accept such a request.

You are responsible for being at the meeting point at the time and date specified in your Booking. For certain events, final meeting details may be sent after Booking via Hobbybooker.com’s messaging system. You must check these messages and arrive accordingly.

Failure to appear at the correct place and time may result in your Booking being classified as a “no-show,” meaning:

• You will not be eligible for a refund; and

• The Hobbystore is not required to reschedule or rebook your event.

15. Modifications or Cancellations by You (continued)

15.2
The standard cancellation policy allows you to request a change to, or cancel, a Booking up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time of the Experience.

If the Experience does not have a specific start time, the cancellation deadline will generally be 11:59 p.m., two days before the start date, in the local time zone where the Experience is scheduled.

Cancellations must be made through your Hobbybooker.com dashboard. To cancel, go to your Booking, select the specific event, and follow the cancellation instructions provided.

15.3
If a hobby event is marked as “All Sales Final” (or with materially similar wording), it is non-refundable and cannot be changed or canceled once booked.

Some Hobbystores may have their own cancellation terms that differ from this policy. Always review the Hobbystore’s cancellation policy at the time of Booking, as it will apply to your transaction and govern any eligibility for refunds.

15.4
Notwithstanding Sections 15.2 and 15.3:

(a) All requests for changes, including rescheduling (“Change Requests”), must be submitted via the ‘My Booking’ section in your dashboard; and

(b) Hobbybooker.com will not charge a fee for processing eligible reschedules. However, the Hobbystore may charge a fee to accommodate your Change Request. If so, you will be required to pay that fee in order for your request to be processed.

15.5
All Change Requests are subject to the availability and approval of the relevant Hobbystore. Hobbybooker.com cannot guarantee the success of any rescheduling or modification request unless we confirm acceptance from the Hobbystore. If the Hobbystore declines your Change Request, the original cancellation terms of the Booking will apply. It is your responsibility to cancel before any relevant deadline in order to obtain a refund, if applicable.

15.6
If you used a promotion code or accepted a discount during checkout, any Change Request submitted afterward may invalidate the promotional price or discount applied to your Booking.

15.7
No refunds are available once an Experience has started, or for any component of a hobby event (such as packages, meals, accommodations, or services) that has already been used.

16. Other Modifications and Cancellations

16.1A Hobbystore may occasionally modify a hobby event after your Booking, including but not limited to changes in the date, price, coverage, inclusions, age requirements, or other features. Hobbybooker.com (acting on the Hobbystore’s behalf) reserves the right to cancel, change, or substitute any hobby event at any time and for any reason.

If the change is material (e.g., a major change to date or itinerary), and you are not satisfied with the alternative offered, you are entitled to a full refund of the original purchase price.

16.2 Hobbybooker.com may determine, at its sole discretion, that it is necessary or advisable to cancel a Booking or override the standard cancellation policy — whether to protect our interests, those of the Hobbystore, or yours.

We may also, at our discretion, issue a full or partial refund. You agree that neither Hobbybooker.com nor the Hobbystore shall be held liable for any such cancellations or related refunds.

17. Passports, Visas & Insurance

17.1 When you make a Booking, you are solely responsible for ensuring that you meet all relevant foreign entry requirements and that your travel documentation, including valid passports and visas, is in order.

17.2 You should consult the appropriate embassy or consulate for the latest passport and visa requirements. These requirements may change at any time, and it is your responsibility to verify them before making a Booking and before you travel. Hobbybooker.com accepts no liability for individuals who are denied entry into any country or onto any flight, including in-transit refusals.

17.3 As visa and health requirements can change without notice, we strongly recommend checking current regulations with your consulate before departure. Additionally, you should consult with your physician regarding immunizations and ensure compliance with all health-related travel requirements.

17.4 Hobbybooker.com highly recommends that you purchase comprehensive travel insurance before attending any hobby event. Insurance may help cover cancellation fees or other costs if your plans change unexpectedly. Please read your insurance policy carefully for coverage details.

17.5 While most international travel is completed without issue, certain destinations may carry increased risk. We encourage users to review relevant travel advisories and warnings issued by the European Union, United States, or the destination’s own government before finalizing travel plans.

17.6 HOBBYBOOKER.COM MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES THAT TRAVEL TO ANY DESTINATION IS SAFE OR RISK-FREE. WE DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES ARISING FROM TRAVEL TO SUCH DESTINATIONS.

20. Hobbybooker.com Tickets

20.1

For each hobby event you Book, you will receive a Hobbybooker.com-branded ticket (or a voucher directly from the Hobbystore), collectively referred to as the “Ticket.” This Ticket will be issued on behalf of the Hobbystore. You may be directed to a secure webpage to access and print your Ticket. In some cases, you may receive a digital Ticket instead of a paper one.

20.2

You must present a valid, original Ticket number to the Hobbystore in order to redeem your hobby event. Your Booking cannot be honored without this. Do not share your Ticket number with third parties. Please review the specific requirements listed in your Booking details to ensure you comply with the Hobbystore’s Ticket redemption process.

20.3

For hobby events requiring payment, Hobbybooker.com charges a 5% handling fee on the full ticket price. If payment is required at the venue by the Hobbystore, Hobbybooker.com will only charge the applicable handling cost.
