Conference.place’s TERMS & CONDITIONS/PAYMENT
These terms and conditions apply to all our services directly or indirectly (through distributors) made available online, by email or by telephone. By accessing, browsing and using our website and/or by completing a provisional meeting room, accommodation, tour or any other activity booking or instant quote enquiry, you acknowledge and agree to have read, understood and agreed to the terms and conditions set out below.
Our service is free of charge to meeting room/accommodation bookers. Unlike many other parties, we will not charge you for our service or add any additional (reservation) fees.
Scope of our Service
Through this website we (Conference.place) provide an online platform through which hotels, conference venues and other meeting room providers can advertise their meeting rooms for reservation, and through which visitors to the website can make provisional bookings or instant quote enquiries. From the point at which you make your provisional booking or instant quote, we act solely as an intermediary between you and the hotel or conference venue, transmitting the details of your provisional booking or instant quote to the relevant hotel or conference venue and sending you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the hotel or conference venue.
When rendering our services, the information that we disclose is based on the information provided to us by the hotels and conference venues. Although we will use reasonable skill and care in performing our services we will not verify if, and cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of our website or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information. Each hotel or conference venue remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the (descriptive) information (including the rates and availability) displayed on our website. Our website does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of (the quality, service level or rating of) any hotel or conference venue made available.
By using our website you can make either provisional meeting room/accommodation bookings or receive instant meeting room.accommodation quotes. In both cases these are subject to confirmation of availability by the hotel or conference venue in question unless stated otherwise.
Our services are made available for personal and non-commercial use only. Therefore, you are not allowed to re-sell, deep-link, use, copy, monitor (e.g. spider, scrape), display, download or reproduce any content or information, software, products or services available on our website for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose.
