Who we are and what we do

sunbedly is a directory. We describe beach clubs, publish what they charge where they publish it, and put you in touch with them. That is the whole service.

We are not the seller. We do not own, operate or represent any beach club on this site. We are not their agent and we do not act on their behalf. When you reserve a sunbed, your agreement is with the club and nobody else.

We handle no money. There is no checkout here and no payment details anywhere in this system. You pay the club, at the club, and we take no commission from what you pay.

We hold no inventory. We do not know how many beds a club has free today. Nothing on this site is a confirmed reservation until the club itself confirms it to you.

Where a club publishes a rate, we show it and we say what it covers. Where it does not, we say so rather than guess. A price on this site is what the club published at the moment we checked, and the date we checked is printed on the page.

Beach club rates move with the season, the row you sit in and the day of the week. Treat what you see here as a guide and confirm the amount with the club before you go. If a price here turns out to be wrong, the club's own price is the one that counts, and we will correct ours as soon as we know.

The form on a club page takes a date, a number of sunbeds, your name and a way to reach you. It writes the message for you in the club's own language and hands you to the club's WhatsApp or email so you send it yourself.

We keep a copy so the club can see the request in their dashboard. That is all it is: a question. It is not a booking, it does not oblige the club to keep anything free for you, and it does not create any agreement between you and us. What we do with the details you type is set out in our privacy notice.

When you look at a list of clubs, this is the order and why. Clubs that pay for placement come first and are labelled as such on the card, so you always know when money is the reason something is at the top. After that come clubs we have visited ourselves, then clubs that publish a price, then clubs with more reviews on Google. Everything after that is alphabetical.

You can override the whole thing with the sort control, and the filters count what they will give you before you click. We do not rank clubs by anything they do not know about.

Your listing is free, carries no advertising and costs you nothing. We built it from what your business publishes, from the official Google Places API, and from our own research. We have never bought a list, and we do not scrape Instagram, TripAdvisor or Google Maps.

Wrong details? Email hello@sunbedly.com and we correct them, usually the same day.

Want it gone? Same address, and the page comes down. There is no notice period and no contract to end, because you never signed one.

Want to manage it? The dashboard link we send you lets you correct your own details, add photos and enter phone bookings. Use it for your own club only. We can withdraw access if a listing is used to post something that is not true, not yours, or not lawful, and we will tell you why.

Write about a visit you actually made. No invented visits, no reviews of your own business, no reviews of a competitor, nothing abusive, and no personal details of staff. Upload only photographs you took yourself or have the right to use, and only of the club they belong to. We read every upload before it appears.

By sending us a review or a photo you let us publish it on sunbedly and show it in search results, for as long as the listing exists. You keep the copyright. Ask us and we take yours down.

We remove anything that breaks these rules, and we will say so rather than delete quietly. We do not edit a review to change what it says, and we do not remove one just because a club dislikes it.

Star ratings and review counts on this site come from the Google Places API and are labelled with Google's name wherever they appear. They are Google's numbers, not ours, and we do not adjust them. Photos from that source carry their photographer's name for the same reason.

The club write-ups, the guides, the design and the sunbedly name are ours. Link to us as much as you like. Copying the descriptions or the catalogue wholesale is not on, and neither is automated harvesting of the site.

We are responsible for this site: for describing clubs honestly, for saying where our information came from, and for correcting it when it is wrong.

We are not responsible for what happens at the club. If a club is closed, full, more expensive than we said, or simply not what you hoped, that sits between you and them. We are not liable for the club's performance, for a reservation they did not honour, or for anything you agree with them directly.

Nothing here limits liability for intent or deliberate recklessness on our part, for death or personal injury, or any other liability that Dutch law does not allow to be excluded. If you are a consumer, your mandatory rights under Dutch and EU law apply in full and nothing in these terms takes them away.

We aim to keep sunbedly up and current, and we do not promise it will never be down or never be out of date. We can change or withdraw parts of it. If a change matters to people who rely on us, we say so on the page rather than in a version number.

If we change these terms, the date at the top changes with them. For clubs that use the dashboard, we give notice by email before a material change takes effect.

Dutch law applies and the Dutch courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the EU, this does not deprive you of the protection of your own country's mandatory consumer law, nor of your right to bring a case in your own country.

Before any of that: email hello@sunbedly.com. A person reads it, and almost everything gets sorted there.
