Once you identify the offer you would like to purchase, and confirm your intent to purchase it, you will be directed through the checkout process where you will be required to enter your name and address, and provide payment information. You can do this by either creating a Deals.mu account or logging in with your existing Deals.mu account. You will also be able to review the order details and total order price.
4.5 Once you have confirmed your order and payment, you will receive an Order Confirmation email and once payment has been processed, a Payment Confirmation along with the Booking Confirmation will be sent by email.

If there are any changes to the details, we request that you inform us immediately by email, phone or by contacting our Customer Service department.

5.0 Open Vouchers5.1 Customers have the option to order an open voucher for a specific package, such as Spa, Activities or any other applicable service. The open voucher can only be used for the specific product for which it has been booked as detailed on the order confirmation and on the voucher itself.
5.2 Please note that the Open Voucher is only valid for use for the relevant product or service for which it was purchased and is valid for the period specified on the package from the day of its purchase; meaning, the package voucher must be redeemed during the package validity period (90 days or until the package expires- depending on the package type). Please note that all reservations are subject to availability and if seasonal rates affect the package, the customer may need to pay the difference.
5.3 In case the customer fails to use the open voucher during the validity period, the open voucher will no longer be of any use or value and it will be void. In case of a void open voucher, the customer will not be entitled to receive any refund or compensation against the payment made to purchase the voucher.
In case the customer still wishes to use the open voucher, but will not be able to within the valid 3-month period, they should inform Deals.mu before the expiration date of the voucher and the voucher date may be extended for a 20% supplement (applicable on the amount paid). This is why we strongly encourage our customers not to wait for the last moment in order to use the open voucher.
5.4 It is in the customer's responsibility to reserve the product or service in advance while providing Deals.mu at least 5 days notice in order to confirm the booking. In case you request to reserve a product or service for a specific date less than 5 days prior to the date on which you would like to redeem your voucher, we cannot guarantee that your reservation will be confirmed. Accordingly, for late reservations requests made during the last 5 days of the open voucher validity period, we cannot guarantee that these reservations will be confirmed or done successfully. In case Deals.mu will not be able to accommodate late reservation requests, the customer will not be entitled to any refund or compensation against the payment made to purchase this voucher. We thus strongly encourage our customers not to wait for the last moment in order to use the open voucher.

In both these cases, cancellation charges apply according to the table here below:

11.8 These cancellation charges are calculated as a percentage of the Subtotal order amount for the product the customer would like to cancel. Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the total amount payable by the customer for the cancelled product.
11.9 No refund is available once a booking, tour, spa, day package, activity, attractions, package or service has commenced, or in respect of any package, spa treatment, meal or any other services has already been utilized.
