Please note that we will assess a fee of 422.00 EUR if you must cancel after this deadline. "

What would you make of this? I assume it actually is "cancel for free" until July 18? I mean, I assume rate rules itself should override the title?
reading from the above the rate rule do state it's a rate requiring you to prepay and make no changes but the cancel policy states you're able to change.....in the end the cancel policy will win...you'll be able to change
