1. BOOKING PROCEDURE
You must complete the on-line booking form and provide us with your credit card details which will act as a guarantee to secure the booking. The person who completes the on-line booking form must be over 18 years of age and is responsible for ensuring full payment with the hotel. They are also responsible for keeping other members of his/her party informed as to the booking details. The booking is confirmed when an on-screen confirmation and an email booking confirmation form have been sent to you by My-discount-hotels.com. Is it advisable to print out the on-screen confirmation at the time of booking and retain it for your information.

If we do not confirm the booking it means that the contract has not been made. Please carefully check the details on your on-screen confirmation booking voucher/email and all other documentation on receipt and inform us immediately of any errors. We do not accept liability for any errors not notified to us within 72 hours of the date of booking and it may not be possible to make corrections at a later stage. Your contract with us and all matters arising out of it are governed by the laws of England and Wales and are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court.

2. PAYMENT
My-discount-hotels.com forwards all your reservation information including payment details to the hotel via a secure connection. For the majority of our hotels credit card details are taken as a guarantee of reservation only. For these hotels 'Credit Card as guarantee' will be stated in the details section for individual room rates.

Currency conversions will depend on current rate of exchange of your credit card company at the time of booking. Some of our hotels will deduct a payment or deposit in addition to the service fee at the time of booking, usually when special discount rates are offered. If this is required, it will be clearly outlined at the time of booking.

3. BOOKING CONFIRMATION
The Booking Confirmation must be given to the hotel at check-in. Failure to produce the confirmation at check-in may result in the hotel not honoring your reservation. The confirmation clearly states what is covered in the rate quoted and additional charges incurred at the hotel will be at your expense. Cancellation of a booking will immediately invalidate the confirmation.

4. PAYMENT SECURITY It is important for you to know that whenever you provide us with personal details or credit card information, it is secure. Your credit card number, name, address, and telephone number are protected by powerful Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology as it travels through the internet.

5. CHANGES BY YOU
If you wish to change your booking after it has been confirmed e.g. guest names, date changes, etc, you must cancel your booking and re-book through the My-discount-hotels.com website. We will try to assist but cannot guarantee to meet such requests. Cancellation charges may apply as set out in clause 6 below. Reimbursement for unused accommodation cannot be made unless you have cancelled online in compliance with clause 6 below or in exceptional circumstances when hotel stay has been curtailed due to emergency. In these cases My-discount-hotels.com require receipt from the hotel confirming this and may require additional documentation (such as medical certificates) prior to considering individual cases. The cost of any exchange rate differences resulting from your booking changes, will be the responsibility of the booker. Any claim must be presented to My-discount-hotels.com in writing within 30 days of check-out.

6. CANCELLATION BY YOU
You may cancel your booking on-line in accordance with the hotel's cancellation policy. Your cancellation must be made through the My-discount-hotels.com website.

Please note that certain special hotel rates are non-changeable and non-refundable once the booking has been confirmed.

7. CHANGES OR CANCELLATION BY US
We reserve the right to make changes or cancellations after the booking at any time, although we will endeavour not to make a major change or cancel the booking within 72 hours of the arrival date, except by reason of force majeure (see clause 8 below). If we have to make a major change to your arrangements after booking we will offer you the option of accepting the change or cancelling the booking and receiving a full refund of any monies paid to us. We do not accept responsibility for any expenses or costs you may incur as a result of any change.

8. FORCE MAJEURE We do not accept liability or pay compensation for any loss, damage or expense where the performance or prompt performance of our obligations is prevented or affected by reason of force majeure.

9. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

(2) We accept responsibility for the proven acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents, suppliers and sub-contractors providing they were at the time carrying out work in the course of their employment or contract. We also accept responsibility if the services that we are contractually obliged to provide prove deficient or not of a reasonable standard.

You must also provide all assistance reasonably required in connection with such recovery.

10. HOTEL NOT HONORING BOOKINGS

13. PRICE CATEGORIES AND HOTEL STANDARDS
We segregate all hotels into four categories - Luxury, Standard, Budget & Discount. While My-discount-hotels.com takes care to ensure that the hotels are placed in a category that accurately reflects the property, it is the responsibility of the guest to ensure that the hotel they book represents a standard that matches their needs. You can access more detailed information about the hotel you are booking from the 'Hotel Details' pages during the booking process.

It should be noted that European and U.S. room types can differ greatly (U.S. twin rooms can accommodate up to 4 people, but European twin rooms can only accommodate a maximum of 2 people).

Please check during the booking process for any additional supplements (i.e., single occupancy of twin room or 3rd adult sharing twin room - these can be found under the 'Details' button during the booking process.
