Q:	What is the purpose of the My Availability Calendar?
A:	The My Availability Calendar was designed for owners and managers of Guest Houses, Bed & Breakfasts and self catering holiday homes and apartments. The calendar displays availability indicating which dates are fully booked and which dates still have availability. (Add comments about your available dates e.g. "3 single rooms available @ R600.00 per night"). The information you add to your My Availability Calendar will automatically be updated across all websites that display your MyAvailabilty Calendar, in real-time, as you update your availability.
Q:	Where can I use the My Availability Calendar?
A:	Each calendar can be linked to from any other website (e.g. Travel portals), allowing you to share your availability calendar with your potential guests on several different internet advertising services. And of course you can use it on your own web site.
Q:	Will the other Travel Sites I am a member of, or advertise on, display the My Availability Calendar for my Establishment?
A:	The My Availability Calendar has been designed with this in mind. There is NO branding information on your Calendar relating to this or any other website, and we are committed to keeping it this way. The ONLY information displayed on the calendar relates to YOUR establishent, so other web portals and travel sites should not have a problem displaying the calendar for you. Furthermore, you will be sent a few lines of code which the travel portals can use to embed your calendar within a page on their site, so the location (website URL of myavailability.co.za) will not even be visible to their site vistors and it will appear as if the calendar is in fact running from their site.
Q:	What about customising the calendar? Can I change the colours and fonts to suit my website?
A:	There are approximately 12 different colour options available. Once you have registered and set up your calendar you will be able to select the colours/style that best suit your website.
Q:	What does it cost?
A:	The My Availability Calendar is free for all SA-Venues.com advertsisers and for the first 1000 establishments that register to use the service provided you agree to our terms of service.
Q:	What about support?
A:	As the My Availability Calendar is a free service it is 100% self-service. If you have questions, please follow the online instructions whenever you create or edit your calendar. There is a comprehensive Help Desk available to you once you are registered and logged in to your account.
Q:	Can I have Calendars for more than one establishent?
A:	Yes. You will create a user account registering one property initially, but as soon as your account has been activated you can login to the admin section and add as many properties as you like. These can all be managed from the same place, using one e-mail address and password.
Q:	What happens if I forget to update my Calendar?
A:	If you do not update your calendar for 3 months your account will be deactivated. Once you are registered and log in to the admin section you will be able to set yourself e-mail reminders. An e-mail can be sent to you on a daily, weekly or monthly basis to remind you to update your availability on your Calendar.
Q:	Should I mark a date as fully booked if I have a provisional booking (i.e. no deposit received)?
A:	We do not recommend marking a date as fully booked unless you have received a deposit or full prepayment for the date in question. If you mark the date as fully booked you may lose the opportunity to book that date for someone else - and you will lose out if the original 'provisional' booking does not pay you the deposit, cancels and/or fails to arrive.
