The booking process follows these steps:
No booking is considered confirmed until the corresponding deposit has been received.
Prices shown on the website are indicative. The individual proposal states the final agreed price and clearly itemises the 10% VAT applied to the contracted services, unless applicable tax law requires otherwise.
To confirm a booking, the Client will normally pay a deposit of 50% of the total agreed amount. Depending on the complexity of the experience, particularly where high-cost or difficult-to-replace ingredients must be committed in advance, a higher deposit may be required and will be stated expressly in the individual proposal.

Accepted payment methods are indicated in the individual proposal. An invoice will be issued for all services in accordance with applicable tax regulations.
The following cancellation terms apply:
In cases of duly evidenced force majeure, the Provider will review each situation individually with the aim of reaching a fair outcome.
Modifications to the service — change of date, guest numbers, menu — must be communicated with a minimum of 7 days' notice and are subject to availability and possible price adjustments.
The Client undertakes to:
The Provider is responsible for the correct provision of the service in accordance with the agreed conditions. The Provider is not liable when non-performance is attributable to the Client, to third parties unrelated to the service, or to force majeure.
The Provider accepts no liability for allergic reactions that have not been expressly communicated in advance. It is the Client's obligation to disclose all allergies, intolerances and dietary restrictions prior to menu confirmation.
Personal data provided during the booking process will be processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy of this website and applicable data protection regulations.
These terms are governed by Spanish law. For any dispute arising from the interpretation or performance of the contract, the parties submit to the Courts and Tribunals of Madrid, waiving any other jurisdiction that may apply.
Prior to any legal action, the parties undertake to attempt to resolve any disagreement amicably through direct communication.
