Cancellation of your order / reservation
In case your flight to Japan would have to be cancelled / delayed or due to an event related to a missed connection, RAKUTABI will make every effort so that the partner (the initially notified “private Rakutabi guide”) should contact "you - the Client" in order to find some mutual arrangement - agreement (ex,possibility of rescheduling - retiming the initially booked guiding service) unless this sudden timetable change would be too problematic for both parties ( for example, leading to a situation where both parties schedules would not match).
In case of a Force Majeure even such as defined by the Civil Code and the Japanese courts (source :Japanese Civil Code)(e.g. such as an earthquake, a typhoon or a flight cancellation, RAKUTABI will make every effort to contact both the Partner (the " guide") and the Customer (the Rakutabi Client) by sending a prompt e-mail to let both parties know about which procedure shall be taken accordingly : this may cause some change to the planned schedule, as well as change in the initially booked calendar (booking date(s)) and , in the most extreme cases and without alternative, complete cancellation of the requested - booked service (with full refund booking fee on canceled accompaniments). It is the same in case of cancellation of the service by the Partner.
