6. HOTELIO SERVICES

6.1 The terms in this Section B apply to Hotelio's provision of its Travel Product booking facilitation-related Services through the Platform. Where the Travel Product booking facilitation-related Services are provided by any Partner or made via a Partner's platform, please refer to that Partner's respective terms and conditions of use and privacy policy instead as these will govern the relation between you and that Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Travel Product is provided by a Partner, your booking through the Platform is an offer to book a reservation (e.g., for Accommodations, or Flights you are making a request to book a reservation with the Partner that is subject to acceptance by the Partner before it becomes a binding transaction) at the price listed on the Platform for such Travel Product on such other terms and conditions notified to you by the Partner at the time of booking, which shall become a binding contract when your booking is accepted by the Partner and will be subject to the Partner's terms and conditions. Where applicable, the Partner will indicate the acceptance of such Travel Product booking via an e-mail confirmation to you. In these cases, we will provide your payment information to the relevant Partner to process your payment and confirm your booking. The Partner reserves the right to reject bookings as set out in their terms and conditions. 6.2 Unless otherwise stated, all of our Travel Product booking facilitation-related Services are provided by Houda Carjour Tourism Pvt. Ltd., which is a private limited liability company, incorporated under the laws of India's The Ministry of Corporate Affairs(MCA) Companies Act 2013, having its registered address at Ward no.8, Mundera Bazaar, Chauri Chaura Gorakhpur Uttar Pradesh, INDIA-226016 and is registered with The Ministry of Corporate Affairs(MCA) INDIA under company registration number U79110UP2023PTC182097. 6.3 Please note that Hotelio does not organize any ground transportation. Where ground transportation is offered, this can be organized by and offered by or on behalf of the Travel Supplier or a Partner, not Hotelio. Hotelio does not assume any liability for the quality, safety, frequency, or service levels of such transportation services. Where your Confirmed Booking includes a self-transfer, you are responsible for the transfer and, subject to the terms of the www.hoteliorooms.com Guarantee (if available), Hotelio does not assume any liability in relation to the self-transfer. Please verify with Customer Service which extra fees are (not) included for self-transfers and ground transportation.

7. BOOKINGS

7.1 When making a booking for any Travel Product through our Platform, that booking is made directly with the Travel Supplier(s) named on the booking page. Our Platform only acts as a facilitator of such bookings. We do not provide, own or control any of the Travel Products that you can access through our Platform and we have no obligation to provide or operate the Travel Products. The Travel Products are owned, controlled or made available by the Travel Suppliers either directly or as an agent. The Travel Suppliers are responsible for their respective Travel Products. Your interaction with any Travel Supplier through our Platform is at your own risk. Hotelio does not bear any responsibility should anything go wrong during your travel or your use of the Travel Product. 7.2 A credit card, debit card, digital wallet or such other payment method as we may from time to time accept ("Payment Instrument") will be required in order to make a booking for a Travel Product through our Platform. 7.3 When you submit a booking through our Platform, you make an offer to book the specified Travel Product(s) subject to these Terms ("Booking Request"). The Travel Product shall be supplied by the Travel Supplier to you and the terms and conditions applicable to that Travel Product shall be between you and the Travel Supplier and shall be a separate binding contract pursuant to these Terms between you and the relevant Travel Supplier once accepted by such Travel Supplier, communicated to Hotelio, and subsequently communicated to you via a confirmation email from Hotelio ("Confirmed Booking"). You acknowledge that the "thank you page" shown after the submission of your Booking Request does not indicate a Confirmed Booking and only indicates that your Booking Request has been received by Hotelio for processing. 7.4 In some cases, we may provide you with a confirmation number in the confirmation email ("Booking Confirmation Number"). Depending on the policy of the Travel Supplier, the confirmation may also contain a voucher for redemption ("Booking Voucher"). Neither we nor the Travel Supplier will be responsible for Booking Confirmation Numbers or Booking Vouchers that are lost, stolen or destroyed. 7.5 The relevant Travel Supplier(s) may impose additional terms and conditions, rules and restrictions (each a "Travel Supplier Terms") that will be applicable to your Confirmed Booking, including in relation to changes, cancellations and refunds. You will be provided with the name of each Travel Supplier and in some cases, the applicable Travel Supplier Terms or a link to their Travel Supplier Terms, during the booking process. As the Travel Supplier Terms applicable for each Travel Product may vary, you should ensure that you fully understand and accept all of the applicable Travel Supplier Terms before completing your booking. If you are booking on behalf of other persons, you are required to ensure that they are aware of and agree to the applicable Travel Supplier Terms. If you fail to comply with the Travel Supplier Terms, the Travel Supplier has a right to refuse or cancel your booking without offering any refunds. For enquiries about the Travel Supplier's products and services or its Travel Supplier Terms, please contact the Travel Supplier directly. 7.6 Except where prohibited by local law, Hotelio has the right to reject any Booking Request, and cancel any Confirmed Booking, including on behalf of the Travel Supplier, or any part thereof, without reason. If you have already made payment, we shall refund you the amounts paid in respect of such rejected or cancelled parts in accordance with our Refund Policy unless:

  • 7.6.1 you are in breach of these Terms or any applicable law
  • 7.6.2 the Travel Supplier Terms do not allow for refunds
  • 7.6.3 Hotelio deems in its sole discretion that you are not entitled to a refund due to reasons including but not limited to suspected fraud or abuse

8. PRICING, ADDITIONAL CHARGES AND TAXES

8.1 Currency selection and effects The Platform allows you to make bookings with Travel Suppliers around the world. Due to our international user base and the global nature of our listings, certain options are available to you to choose the currency displayed to you on the Platform ("Display Currency") and to choose for the currency in which you are charged for a booking ("Charge Currency"). Your default Display Currency is based on your IP address. You can select your preferred Display Currency by clicking the currency code (e.g. USD, AUD) shown in the top right corner of any page, or in Account Settings. Before you select your Charge Currency on the booking form/confirmation page, the Platform shows you estimated prices of your booking in your Display Currency for your convenient reference only. Where relevant, Hotelio uses the then-current Bloomberg Generic Composite Rate to calculate those estimated prices of your booking. The price you pay for a booking will depend on your selected booking type, Payment Instrument, Display Currency, Charge Currency, and any applicable credits and discounts, among other things. Hotelio determines your default Charge Currency based on the default currency of the Payment Instrument details that you enter on the booking form/confirmation page. You are also provided the option to set your Charge Currency as the currency that the Travel Supplier uses for its Travel Product listings with Hotelio ("Product Currency"). 8.2 Charges for Taxes and Fees 8.2.1 When browsing Travel Products on our Platform, the Display Price is generally exclusive of taxes and service fees unless otherwise expressly stated. 8.2.2 In connection with facilitating your booking, the charge to your Payment Instrument may include an amount for charges, taxes and fees ("Taxes and Fees") unless indicated otherwise, which may include bank and credit card fees and charges where this is available or known to us. The charge for Taxes and Fees varies based on a number of factors including, without limitation, the amount Hotelio pays the Travel Supplier and the location and type of the Travel Supplier and/or Travel Product and may include a fee that Hotelio retains. In relation to Flights or Accommodations, these Taxes and Fees may include a fee for the facilitation services provided by Hotelio in relation to your Booking ("Hotelio Booking Fee"). Except where expressly prohibited by law, the Hotelio Booking Fee is non-refundable. 8.2.3 In relation to Flights and Accommodations, these Taxes and Fees include an estimated amount to recover the amount Hotelio pays on your behalf to the relevant Travel Supplier(s) in connection with your booking for taxes owed by the respective Travel Supplier(s), or Hotelio as the case may be, in respect of their service to you, including, without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, departure, airport use, terminal, aviation security, aviation insurance and fuel surcharges and taxes, sales tax, service tax, excise tax, value added tax, goods and services tax, consumption tax and/or other similar taxes. 8.2.4 For bookings involving Travel Products located in certain jurisdictions, the Taxes and Fees amount may also include government-imposed service fees or other fees not paid directly to the taxing authorities but required by law to be collected by the relevant Travel Supplier, or Hotelio as the case may be. 8.2.5 In certain jurisdictions, the Taxes and Fees amount paid to the Travel Supplier on your behalf in connection with your reservation may vary from the Taxes and Fees amount Hotelio estimates and includes in the charge to you. The balance of the (estimated) charge for Taxes and Fees, if any, is a fee Hotelio may retain as part of the compensation: (a) in relation to any Flight component of your booking, as our handling fee for the services provided by Hotelio to you in respect of such Flight(s); (b) in relation to any Accommodation (as applicable depending on the jurisdiction), as our fee for the services provided by Hotelio to you in respect of such Accommodation. 8.2.6 You are fully responsible for all taxes, charges, fees, duties and assessments arising out of the use of this Platform. While we aim to provide customers with the total price of each booking on the Platform, there is a chance that a government-imposed tax may be added or increased after the booking is purchased. If this occurs, by accepting these Terms, you agree to pay the new or higher government-imposed tax, where not prohibited by law. 8.2.7 Except as otherwise described in these Terms, Hotelio is not the vendor collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable tax authorities, unless otherwise required by law or where Hotelio is required to collect and remit taxes on behalf of the Travel Suppliers. The relevant Travel Suppliers, as vendors, include all known applicable taxes in the amount displayed as the total price of your booking and Hotelio pays over such amounts on your behalf directly to the vendors or directly to the relevant tax authority where required by law. Hotelio is not a co-vendor associated with the vendors with whom we book or reserve our customer's travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate and the type of applicable taxes may vary depending on various factors such as location, type of service etc. 8.2.8 Where the Travel Product booking facilitation-related Services are provided by any Partner or made via a Partner's platform, calculation of applicable taxes and fees will be set out in such Partner's terms and conditions. 8.3 Electronically Supplied Services Hotelio may provide additional services independent of, in addition to, or ancillary to the Services and the services offered by the Travel Suppliers ("Electronically Supplied Services" or "ESS"). For these ESS, we may request a service fee in consideration thereof, upon your acceptance of these ESS and subject to specific terms and conditions you may agree to for obtaining such ESS. For sake of clarity, such ESS fee if charged by Hotelio will be over and above the amount you may be charged by the Travel Suppliers for availing the services offered by the Travel Suppliers.

9. PAYMENT

9.1 You authorize Hotelio or another Hotelio Group entity to charge or debit your Payment Instrument for the full booking amount once you have submitted your Booking Request. Upon receipt of your payments by Hotelio for Confirmed Bookings, your obligation to the Travel Supplier for that amount is extinguished. 9.2 We reserve the right to cancel your booking, including on behalf of the Travel Supplier, if applicable, if the full payment for your booking is not received in a timely fashion, including but not limited to where your Payment Instrument cannot be charged on the intended Charge Date for whatever reason. 9.3 Local tax invoices may be obtained from the Travel Supplier offering the Travel Product to you. Where specifically required by law, Hotelio may provide a tax invoice to you. 9.4 For a variety of reasons, payment on our Platform may fail. In such cases, Hotelio will use all reasonable efforts to offer you alternatives (where available) to ensure your booking can go ahead or offer you a refund in accordance with our Refund Policy. If you have any questions, please contact Customer Service.

10. CANCELLATIONS, CHANGES AND REFUNDS

10.1 If you wish to review, adjust or cancel your reservation, please follow the instructions in the confirmation email, use our self-service tool, or contact Customer Service. 10.2 Any cancellations, changes, refunds and no-shows to your Confirmed Booking are subject to the applicable booking conditions and Travel Supplier Terms, including any additional fees that may be imposed by the Travel Supplier. You should read our Refund Policy, the cancellation and no-show policies of the relevant Travel Supplier(s), and the booking conditions for your selected reservation carefully prior to making your booking. Please be advised that certain reservations may be non-refundable, non-cancellable, and/or non-changeable. 10.3 Without prejudice to clause 10.2, HOTELIO reserves the right to charge a cancellation and/or modification fee on behalf of the Travel Supplier, up to the full cost of the reservation, for any cancellation or modification by you of a Confirmed Booking, and such fees will be indicated on our Platform.

11. YOUR OBLIGATIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

12. PROMOTIONS & DISCOUNTS

12.1 HOTELIO may support promotional rates, vouchers, discounts, promo codes and special offers ("Promotions") and "HOTELIO COIN" from time to time. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Promotions may not be combined with other Promotions and/or loyalty programs. Promotions are subject to further rules and special conditions which will be posted on our Platform, as may be amended by HOTELIO from time to time. Promotions cannot be redeemed, exchanged or refunded for cash, credit, or other products. Some Promotions may only be available in certain territories or for residents of certain territories and may exclude certain types of Travel Products and may be subject to additional terms and conditions. While discount amounts for promo codes may vary, the value of the discount will be clearly displayed within the price breakdown. 12.2 Where you have a promo code, or voucher, if it is not automatically applied, you must apply it at the payment page in order to apply it to your booking. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Promotions will not apply to the local taxes, service fees and additional charges of your booking. 12.3 HOTELIO reserves the right to stop the use of any Promotion for any reason. In case of any dispute relating to Promotions, HOTELIO's decision shall be final.

13. TRAVEL ADVISORY AND VISA REQUIREMENTS

14.1 It is your responsibility to ensure that you satisfy all applicable legal requirements when entering a country or territory, including its visa and health requirements. As these requirements are subject to change without notice, HOTELIO recommends that you review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories and verify with the appropriate consulate prior to booking and again before departure. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are either insured by your own insurance company, or by the Travel Suppliers who may provide insurance coverage. HOTELIO takes no responsibility in the insurance process and recommends that you are sufficiently covered with a comprehensive travel insurance policy prior to departure. 14.2 By displaying Travel Products in or to particular destinations, HOTELIO does not represent or warrant that travel to such points is advisable or risk-free and HOTELIO shall not be held liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations. You are strongly advised to check the relevant travel advisories issued by your government for any country you are visiting and to take the necessary precautions.

14. FRAUD

If you choose not to submit the additional information or if we are not satisfied with the information received, your Booking Request will be cancelled because it is incomplete, and any amounts charged will be refunded. It is possible that a Travel Product becomes unavailable during the fraud check, in which case the booking will no longer be available. You acknowledge and agree that HOTELIO shall not be held liable in such circumstances. 14.2 If you suspect an unauthorized or fraudulent booking was made using your Payment Instrument via HOTELIO, please contact Customer Service immediately.

This may result in separate fees and charges to change each segment, including the HOTELIO Booking Fees. You may require evidence of a return or onward travel for international flights. If the bookings of all Flight segments will be confirmed, you will receive a single booking confirmation for the whole journey. The fee HOTELIO retains as part of the compensation for its Services and to cover the costs of booking or facilitating your reservation, is calculated based on the whole journey at the time of booking.

26. AIRLINE AND TICKET CONDITIONS

26.1 Without prejudice to the generality of clause 7.5 above, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of carriage of the airline(s) issuing the tickets for any Flight component of your Confirmed Booking. Such terms and conditions may include restrictions in relation to payment, refunds, cancellation, reservation modification, scheduled times and dates, liability, and fare restrictions and conditions. There may also be prohibitions on "point-beyond", "hidden-city", or "back-to-back" tickets and other bookings which include segments which you do not intend to use, on use of flight coupons out of sequence, and on buying a return ticket when you only intend to travel one-way. You understand that any violation of any terms and conditions of the airline, including purchase conditions, could result in cancellation of your Flight(s), being denied access to your Flight(s), or forfeiting any payments made for Flight(s). We may also charge you for any costs and penalties incurred as a result of such violation. We recommend that you read the refund, cancellation and no-show policies applicable to your Flight(s) carefully prior to making your booking, including where the airline changes or cancels your Flight booking. 26.2 Sometimes, cheaper fares are available on the Platform for the same Flight, for the same Flight segment(s) on the same date, at the same time and on the same airline, however, these cheaper fares may carry special restrictions and conditions, for example in respect of cancellation and refund. Please check the fare and rate details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your booking. Different tickets on the same airline for the same Flight may carry different restrictions or include different services. 26.3 Airlines may require you to pay additional fees at the airport for certain services and/or if you exceed certain limits as dictated by the airline, including free or included pieces or weight of your baggage, seat selection, meals and priority boarding. While we provide some details of what is included in your ticket for your Flight, this is not a substitute for, or summary of, the airline terms and conditions and you should ensure to review these separately.
