  1. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

In-site purchases are processed with a safe and secure 3rd party/parties, currently we be using a combination of Stripe, WooCommerce, and other safe and secure companies.  

We make sure these companies are trusted and legitimate for the safety of YOUR information and the safety or OUR information – I mean, we give these companies our credit cards and access to our bank accounts to use their services for crying out loud!  They better be safe! 

Don’t worry, we will never ask you for access to your bank account.  The purchases you make in our site, including Kayak gear and rentals only require that you pay with a valid credit or debit card.

  1. Refund Policy 

For affiliate products: Products purchased on kayak305.com or from a link from kayak305.com please see the refund policy from the retailer you purchased the product from, for example Amazon, Bote or Columbia, etc.

Rental(s) refund: If you booked a tour or rental, please cancel at least 3 hours prior to your scheduled adventure and you will receive a full refund.  If cancelled within 2 hours of your reservation we can help you reschedule or provide you with an E-Gift certificate via e-mail that will be valid for up to 1-year.  To cancel simply send us an email to hello@kayak305.com and include the name of your reservation, time and date.

Bad Weather Refunds: Weather happens, especially in Florida, especially in the summer mid-day, and that is why we highly recommend morning reservations, or late afternoon reservations. 

So, if a rental is cancelled by Kayak305 or any of its affiliated vendors due to severe weather conditions or for any safety reason at all, a full refund will be provided.  On that note – please see that we are in the natural environment, and we do not cancel for light rain, overcast skies or any cool temperatures.

Late arrivals and No shows. If you are late, the reservation check-out time will remain the same.  If you do not show up for any reason, a refund, E-gift Certificate, or rescheduling the reservation will not be permitted.  We be serious about paddling.

This was a summary of the return policy for rentals, for the full entertaining version please see Refund Policy in the bottom menu of the page.

  1. CHANGES

Any changes in terms or conditions will be posted on this page and on this site. Hopefully there are none because frankly, I’d rather be writing something else, or just paddling out in the water.  Lastly, it is your responsibility to check up on those changes by reviewing this page.

  1. DISCLAIMER

This disclaimer is to let you know that for legal purposes, we know nothing at all about kayaking and exploring the outdoors safely.  Frankly, the advice we give shall be taken with a grain of salt and ultimately you are responsible for your own rental, purchase experience, safety and your very life.  

We recommend vendors and products that we like, and we facilitate the purchase of such products and services on our site and that is the end of it.  O yeah, we are a legitimate e-commerce company established and operating in the US that really loves its customers to have the best paddling experience.  Let us know how we’re doing; write us to hello@kayak305.com
