Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms and conditions of use carefully before accessing, using, or obtaining any materials, information, products, or services. By accessing the Hotel Checking website, mobile or tablet application, or any other feature or other Hotel Checking platform (collectively, "Our Website"), you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept all of these Terms, then you may not use Our Website. In these Terms, "we", "us", "our", and "Hotel Checking" refers to Hotel Checking Software Corporation, and "you" and "your" refers to you, the user of Our Website.

THESE TERMS INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT.

We may modify these Terms for any reason—at any time—by posting a new version on Our Website; these changes do not affect rights and obligations that arose prior to such changes. Your continued use of Our Website following the posting of modified Terms will be subject to the Terms in effect at the time of your use. Please review these Terms periodically for changes. If you object to any provision of these Terms or any subsequent modifications to these Terms or become dissatisfied with Our Website in any way, your only recourse is to immediately terminate use of Our Website.

1. We Do Not Sell Travel Products

Our Website is a travel search engine. Hotel Checking does not provide, own, or control any of the travel services and products that you can access through Our Website, such as flights, accommodations, rental cars, packages, or travel insurance (the "Travel Products"). The Travel Products are owned, controlled, or made available by third parties (the "Travel Providers") either directly (e.g., airline) or as an agent (e.g., online travel agency). The Travel Providers are responsible for the Travel Products. The Travel Provider's terms and privacy policies apply to your booking, so you must agree to and understand those terms. Furthermore, the terms of the actual travel provider (airline, hotel, tour operator, etc.) apply to your travel, so you must also agree to and understand those terms. Your interaction with any Travel Provider accessed through Our Website is at your own risk; Hotel Checking does not bear any responsibility should anything go wrong with your booking or during your travel.

The display on Our Website of a Travel Product or Travel Provider does not—in any way—imply, suggest, or constitute a recommendation by Hotel Checking of that Travel Product or Travel Provider, or any sponsorship or approval of Hotel Checking by such Travel Provider, or any affiliation between such Travel Provider and Hotel Checking.

Hotel Checking hosts content, including prices, made available by or obtained from Travel Providers. Hotel Checking is in no way responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of such content. Since Hotel Checking has no control over the Travel Products and does not verify the content uploaded by the Travel Providers, it is not possible for us to guarantee the prices displayed on Our Website. Prices change constantly and additional charges (e.g., payment fees, service charges, checked-in luggage fees, local taxes, and fees) may apply, so you should always check whether the price asked for a booking is the one you expected. Some Travel Products may also be sold in another currency than the one preset or chosen by you for the display of the search results. Our currency conversion is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as accurate or real-time; actual rates may vary, and your payment provider (e.g., your credit card company) may charge conversion fees and apply another date's currency rate.

2. Booking through Hotel Checking

If you make a booking through Our Website for Travel Products, that booking is made with the Travel Provider named on the booking page, and Our Website only acts as a user interface. Accordingly, Hotel Checking has no responsibility for the booking or the Travel Product because Hotel Checking has no involvement in creating the description of the Travel Product, in defining the price and any fees, or in providing the Travel Products that you book. If you have any issues or disputes with your booking and/or the Travel Product, you agree to address and resolve these with the Travel Provider and not with us.

3. Intellectual Property

We, along with our corporate affiliates, the Travel Providers, and other licensors, own all of the text, images, software, trademarks, service marks, and other material contained on Our Website except User Content. You will not copy or transmit any of the material except if you are doing so for your personal, non-commercial use. All copyright, trademark, and other proprietary rights notices presented on Our Website must appear on all copies you print. Other non-Hotel Checking product, service, or company designations on Our Website belong to those respective third parties and may be mentioned in Our Website for identification purposes only. You should contact the appropriate third party for more complete information regarding such designations and their registration status. Your use of and access to Our Website does not grant you any license or right to use any of the marks included on Our Website.
