The Terms of Use – as defined below- apply to our services, directly or indirectly made available to you through whatever means, including online reservations, customer service requests or otherwise. By accessing, browsing and using the Site and/or by making a reservation through Bookingjini, you acknowledge and agree having read, understood and agreed to the Terms of Use.Our different policies and guidelines, which can be found throughout the Site,including but not limited to, the Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, FAQs, etc.(collectively the “Policies”), should be read in conjunction with and are an integral part of these terms and conditions and are hereby included by reference. The terms and conditions set out below and the Policies are collectively referred to as the “Terms of Use”. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use, please cease use of the Site immediately. The Terms of Use – as may be amended from time to time – constitute the entire agreement, and supersede any other agreements or understandings (oral or written), between you and us with respect to their subject matters unless explicitly stated otherwise.

1. Scope of our Service – Information on the Site

  • Through the Site, Bookingjini provides an online platform for hoteliers to update and sell their hotel rooms through their own internet booking engine provided by Bookingjini. The hotelier as well as the customers of said hotels using the Hotel Internet Booking engine understand that by making a booking through the Site, they are making contract to book a reservation at the price listed for such reservation and such other terms and conditions stated on the Site.
  • When rendering our services, the information that we disclose about Hotels is based on the information provided to us by the Hoteliers (including but not necessarily limited to the Hotels, their representatives, distributors, destination management companies (DMCs), channel managers, partners, etc.). As such, the Hotels or their representatives are given access to the BookingjiniMerchant Accounting System and /or Channel Manager or an extranet or other connectivity solution through which they are fully responsible for updating all rates, availability, description, pictures, booking conditions, hotel policies and other information which is displayed on the Site. We cannot verify and cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete, correct or up to date, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of the Site or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or information or non-delivery of information. Each Hotel remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the Hotel information displayed on the Site. Changes in market conditions or circumstances may occur on short notice which may make information displayed on the Site inaccurate or outdated. In case of problems, our Customer Service will use reasonable efforts to assist you and serve as a point of contact with the Hotel. Please note that when a search result indicates that a particular Hotel has no more rooms available, that means the room type is not available for reservation through.
  • On behalf of Hoteliers, the right not to accept customers or bookings (or in exceptional cases to cancel confirmed ones) is reserved at hotelier’s discretion and forwhatever (legal) reason without the need to justify such refusal. In case a booking is rejected or cancelled by a Hotel using Bookingjini and the payment has already been made, will be refunded for the total booking value. The right to bar (“blacklist”) users from the Site is also reserved, on a permanent or temporary basis, at our discretion. Any such blacklisted user must not attempt to use the Site under any other name or through any other user. See also below for our fraud prevention mechanisms.
  • In rare cases, we may also have to cancel or reject a booking due to “obvious errors”, independent of the origin of such errors. For clarity, an obvious error is a mistake on the Site (e.g. in terms of price) which a reasonable person would not consider to be normal. The amount charged will be reimbursed without charge in such case. Whether to cancel or reject a booking for this reason is in Bookingjini’s sole discretion.
  • Circumstances such as ongoing renovations, Hotel booking errors, and specific guest needs can affect the quality of your stay. Be sure to let the Hotel know any special requests or requirements you have at check-in.

5.Credit card – Payment

  • For pre-paid Hotel bookings with Bookingjini, your credit card will be charged by Bookingjini for the full price (sometimes without any option for refund depending on the Hotel’s booking conditions, see below) upon reservation and confirmation of the booking or, in case of a “Book Now Pay Later”booking, at the future point in time communicated in the confirmation email. When using “Book Now, Pay Later”, please ensure that the credit card is valid and has sufficient credit on the future payment date. If the credit card cannot be charged on such date for whatever reason, the booking will be cancelled unless you can ensure that the card payment can be authorized on time. Please check the reservation details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. Bookingjini will process refunds, if and when applicable, within a reasonable timeframe. For certain Hotels, we will not charge your credit card, as you will pay the Hotel directly for your stay (post-paid). However, in such cases some Hotels may pre-authorize your card, charge a deposit or charge the full price of the reservation up-front. Hotels may require credit card details in order to guarantee your reservation. As such, we will send your credit card information directly to the Hotel at which your booking is made and we may verify (i.e. pre-authorize) your credit card as well. In order to safeguard and encrypt your credit card information when in transit to us, we use the “Secure Socket Layer (SSL)” technology for our services.
  • In the event of credit card fraud or unauthorized use of your credit card by third parties, you should contact your bank or card issuer immediately upon becoming aware of such unauthorized use. If you suspect an unauthorized or fraudulent booking was made via Bookingjini, please contact our Customer Service team immediately.
  • In order to make a booking you must be over 18 years old (or the age of majority in those countries and territories where it is higher than 18) and have the full legal capacity to make the transaction (or have the authorization from your legal guardian). You undertake that the credit or debit card you are using is your own or that you are authorized to complete the booking with this card and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the transaction. You accept financial responsibility for all transactions made under your name or account.
  • You undertake that the details you provide us with in making a booking are fully correct. Bookingjini reserves the right not to accept certain credit cards. Bookingjini may add or remove other payment methods at its discretion.
  • We have stringent fraud detection and prevention mechanisms in place. In certain cases, we may require additional information or verifications to validate and confirm the booking, as explained in more detail on the Site. A small verification charge or pre-authorization may also be made to your card when using “Book Now Pay Later”. The balance will be charged after confirmation or, in case of “Book Now Pay Later”, on the future payment date (see the comment above about the possibility of cancellation in case the card cannot be charged on that date for whatever reason). Reservations are not confirmed until you have received a confirmation mail with a voucher and it is possible that a Hotel could become fully booked during the fraud check, in which case the reservation will no longer be available. Bookingjini can never be held liable in such cases. Additional information submitted will be treated in line with strict industry standards to protect privacy, using encryption for transmission and specialized agents for verification. If you choose not to submit the additional information or if we are not satisfied with the information received, the booking will not be completed and fully cancelled and any amounts charged (including the verification charge where applicable) will be refunded.
