TERMS & CONDITIONS
Welcome to Portman Lifestyle (“PLS”, “we”, “our” or “us”).
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website and the services we arrange or provide.
These terms apply subject to any separate written agreement, booking confirmation or supplier terms relevant to a particular service.
Our services include bespoke luxury lifestyle, travel and concierge arrangements, such as:
Private aviation and flight support.
Yacht charters and maritime arrangements.
Luxury accommodation.
Chauffeur services.
Event planning and dining reservations.
Shopping assistance and personalised lifestyle experiences.
By using our website or requesting our services, you agree to comply with these Terms & Conditions to the extent they apply to your interaction with us.
If you book on behalf of another person or organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to provide the relevant information and make the requested arrangements.
Portman Lifestyle provides bespoke assistance and coordination tailored to each client's individual requirements.
Depending on the arrangement, PLS may act as a concierge, booking agent, intermediary, arranger or direct service provider.
Our role will depend on the service offered and the terms communicated in the relevant proposal, quotation, booking confirmation or agreement.
Some services are provided directly by PLS, whilst others are delivered by independent third-party suppliers.
The relevant quotation or booking confirmation should identify the service, applicable price, material exclusions and conditions.
Submitting an enquiry or receiving a quotation does not guarantee availability or constitute a confirmed booking.
Clients may contact us through our website, email, telephone or other authorised communication channels.
Clients must provide accurate and complete information relevant to their enquiries and bookings, including dates, destinations, passenger numbers and any material requirements.
All arrangements are subject to availability and any applicable supplier confirmation.
A booking will be considered confirmed once the relevant confirmation requirements communicated to the client have been met.
Depending on the arrangement, confirmation requirements may include:
Written confirmation.
Payment of a deposit or the full amount.
Acceptance of the relevant supplier's terms and conditions.
Material booking details and any relevant changes will be communicated to the client as appropriate.
Our quotations are prepared according to the requested services, dates, destinations, availability, supplier rates and other relevant requirements.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, a quotation may exclude:
Taxes and handling charges.
Fuel surcharges and gratuities.
Waiting-time charges.
Additional services or upgrades.
Other costs not expressly included in the quoted price.
Quotations may be subject to a specified validity period.
Before booking confirmation, prices may change because of supplier rates, availability, taxes or other relevant costs.
Once a booking has been confirmed, the applicable price and any permitted adjustments will be governed by the relevant booking agreement and disclosed conditions.
Material additional costs will be communicated, and approval will be obtained where required by the applicable agreement or law.
Payment arrangements will be communicated in the relevant quotation, invoice or booking confirmation.
Depending on the service, these arrangements may specify:
Deposit requirements and payment deadlines.
Accepted payment methods.
Applicable currencies and transaction fees.
Any additional payment requirements.
Clients are responsible for making payments in accordance with the agreed terms.
If payment is not received by the applicable deadline, we may be unable to secure or maintain the booking.

PLS's standard payment, deposit and invoicing arrangements will be communicated before a booking is confirmed.
Where specific payment terms have not been agreed, clients should obtain clarification before committing to a booking.

Applicable cancellation and amendment conditions should be communicated to the client before the booking is confirmed.
Third-party suppliers may impose:
Non-refundable deposits.

Other service-specific restrictions.
Where applicable, these conditions should be disclosed before confirmation and incorporated into the relevant booking arrangements.
Requests to change dates, itineraries, passenger numbers, accommodation or other arrangements are subject to availability.
Amendments may result in additional charges.
Where a refund is due, its amount and timing will depend on the applicable booking conditions, payments received, recoverable supplier charges and relevant law.
Clients should contact PLS as soon as possible if they wish to cancel or amend a confirmed booking.
Specific cancellation periods, refund calculations and amendment charges will be set out in the applicable booking confirmation or separate agreement. PLS's standard cancellation and refund policy remains subject to confirmation.

Where PLS acts solely as an arranger or intermediary, the supplier will generally be responsible for delivering its own service, subject to the applicable agreement and law.
PLS will exercise reasonable care when coordinating arrangements within the scope of its agreed services.
Our role and any relevant supplier conditions should be clarified in the applicable quotation or booking confirmation.
Nothing in this section excludes any responsibility PLS has under a contract or applicable law.
