Service Terms (supplementary provisions)

These provisions supplement the Terms of Use above.

A. Consent and updates

By using the Site, you accept these Terms. We may update them for legal, technical, or operational reasons. We will publish the update date. If you do not agree, you must cease use.

B. Duration; suspension and termination

We may suspend or interrupt the Services totally or partially for maintenance, security, or operational changes, attempting to minimize inconvenience. We may restrict access in case of non-compliance. You may stop using the Services at any time.

C. International use

Use of the Services must comply with applicable regulations in your country. Picuco operates in accordance with Spanish and EU regulations (LSSI, LGDCU, GDPR/LOPDGDD, DSA, when applicable).

D. Cancellations and refunds

Each activity has its own cancellation policy, which you will see and accept before paying. This may be the policy defined by the Provider or, if the Provider has not defined one, Picuco's default cancellation policy.

Cancellation by the Customer: The refund depends on the activity's cancellation policy and when you cancel. Check your booking's policy for the deadlines and percentages.

Cancellation by the Provider: If the Provider cancels the activity, you will receive a 100% refund of the price paid. We will also offer you the option of rescheduling to another date.

Weather conditions or force majeure: If the activity cannot be carried out safely, rescheduling at no cost will be attempted. If this is not possible, you will receive a 100% refund.

No-show: If you do not show up without having cancelled, the activity's cancellation policy will apply as if it were a last-minute cancellation.

Refund processing: Refunds are made to the same payment method. Estimated timeframe: between 5 and 10 business days from the refund confirmation.

To cancel, contact us at ops@picuco.com .

Right of withdrawal: As a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 calendar days without giving any reason (Article 102 TRLGDCU). However, this right does not apply to bookings for activities with a specific date of performance, pursuant to Article 103(l) of the TRLGDCU. By confirming your booking, you expressly accept that the activity has a specific execution date and that, therefore, you will not be able to exercise the right of withdrawal. In case of cancellation, the activity's cancellation policy applies.

E. Promotions and Pro subscriptions

The specific conditions of Picuco Pro Subscription and promotions will be defined in particular terms. We may modify or cancel them with reasonable prior notice when legally required.
