understand these terms before using Our Services. By accessing or using Our Services,
you agree to be legally bound by these terms, which may be modified from time to
time. We reserve our right to change these terms at any time and amendments will
take effect when posted on this website. We only act as the intermediary between
our website users and the participating hotels so we do not have and never intend
to have any contractual involvement in your reservation. When you use Our Services
to make a reservation, the contract is made directly between you and the hotel concerned.
The information contained in our website is provided and updated by the hotels from
time to time and so while we will try our best to ensure that such information is
accurate, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information,
nor can we warrant that access to our website will be uninterrupted or fault free.
These terms and conditions are set out in several languages but in case of conflict,
the English version shall prevail.
Reservation
The prices displayed on our website according to season are negotiated between us
and the participating hotels, and they may be different from the prices published
by the hotels elsewhere. Therefore, you should accept that the prices may be different
at the time of reservation.
Subject to confirmation by the hotel concerned and also to your provision of valid
and correct credit card information for payment, your reservation will be irrevocably
binding on you upon your clicking on “Confirm the booking” on our website. Confirmation
of your reservation will be made by us by email and so it is your duty to provide
your accurate email address to us. Such confirmation will usually be made within
4 business hours after you submit your reservation order. In case your reservation
is not accepted, we will try our best to provide you with another comparable alternative
if possible, but you are freely entitled whether to accept such alternative.
Our confirmation email will serve as proof of valid reservation and it will contain
relevant information of the reservation and particulars of the hotel concerned.
Please read and check carefully all the information contained in our confirmation
email to ensure that they conform to your reservation. You are required to produce
our confirmation email when you check in at the hotel.
Payment and credit card information

card information such as its number and expiry date. When your reservation is confirmed,
a guarantee deposit clearly displayed through the reservation process will be charged
to your credit card in US Dollars. If your reservation is not confirmed,
your credit card will not be charged. We accept credit cards like VISA, Eurocard/MasterCard,
and other cards as may be specified on our website from time to time. Under no circumstances
will Puratech Travel be liable for any kind of foreign exchange commissions that your
bank might charge you. The outstanding balance of the retail price of the hotel
room(s) reserved, as well as all other charges which you may incur during your stay
at the hotel, will be settled by you in local currency at the hotel when you check
out.
Cancellation
Each hotel will have its own terms and conditions for cancellation of validly-confirmed
reservation. You are therefore strongly advised to read carefully such terms and
conditions which are displayed on our website before you make your reservation.
You will be bound by such terms and conditions once your reservation is confirmed.
In case of cancellation, we suggest that you should promptly and directly contact
us to minimize any penalty or charges payable.
When your reservation is cancelled, the security deposit is fully refunded to you,
and an additional processing fee may apply in some cases as clearly stated during
the reservation process before your clicking on “Confirm the booking” on our website.
However, when penalties do apply, based on the terms and conditions of the hotel
prevailing at the time when you made the reservation, we will pass on your credit
card information to the hotel concerned so that the hotel may directly charge to
your credit card account all penalties or charges which you are liable to pay for
the cancellation. Please note that by making the reservation through our website
you are deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably authorized and consented
to our release of your credit card information to the hotel concerned for this purpose.
All disputes relating to cancellation of reservation shall be dealt with or settled
directly between you and the hotel concerned, and we will not be involved or be
responsible in any way except to arrange for the refund of the security deposit,
to provide information needed to calculate the penalties that apply and to pass
your credit card information on to the hotel concerned as aforesaid. No claim whatsoever
shall be made by you against us in respect of any penalty or charges levied by the
hotel concerned for your cancellation of reservation and you shall seek your redress,
if any, directly against the hotel concerned.

be borne solely and exclusively by you. If you are using a public computer for Our

Disclaimer

regulations concerning your use of Our Services and we will not assume any responsibility
thereof.
We merely act as an intermediary between you and the hotels and so we do not have
any control whatsoever over the quality of services or the charges of the hotels.
We therefore are not responsible or liable in any way whatsoever in relation to
any dispute arising between you and the hotels regarding their charges, quality
of services, facilities or otherwise. The contract is made between you and the hotel
concerned and so you should make all your claim or complaint against or settle it
directly with the hotel concerned. At the time of checking out, we may ask you to
kindly complete our standard questionnaire to express your comment about the hotel

Our Services. It is also your own responsibility to obtain your valid visa (if necessary)
and comply with all local health and custom requirements applicable to the place
you are going to visit.
Without prejudice to the generality of the matters aforesaid, in the event that
either we or the hotels are held liable by any court of competent jurisdiction to
pay any damages or compensation to you, you agree and accept that the amount of
such damages or compensation shall in no circumstances exceed the total amount of
money actually paid by you to the hotel concerned for the reservation or the sum
of 1,000 Euros, whichever is the least
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these terms and conditions is intended
to limit any rights you may have as a consumer under the applicable law that may
not be excluded, nor in any way to exclude or limit the liability of the hotel concerned
to you in the case of death or personal injury resulting from its negligence.
