A. Accommodation Reservation Through the Site, IBFW provides an online platform through which you can browse different types of lodging and temporary accommodation, including but not necessarily limited to hotels, hostels, serviced apartments, B&Bs, rooms for rent, cottages, ryokans, Tents etc. (collectively, the "Accommodation(s)") and make reservations with such Accommodations, including already making payment for such reservations of Accommodations in advance with a credit card, debit card or such other payment method to facilitate the processing of such payment ("Payment Instrument"). By making a booking through the Site, you make an offer to book a reservation at the price listed for such reservation and such other terms and conditions stated on the Site. This shall become a binding contract formed in India pursuant to the Terms of Use when accepted by the Accommodation and consequently IBFW. You will receive proof of the confirmed Accommodation booking via an e-mail confirmation (with a voucher for Accommodations),which means the reservation has been confirmed by the Accommodation. The "thank you page" means your reservation request has been received and is complete for final processing, no further action is required by you. We reserve the right to reject bookings as set out below. When rendering our services, the information that we disclose about Accommodations is based on the information provided to us by our suppliers or providers (including but not necessarily limited to the Accommodations, their representatives, distributors, destination management companies (DMCs), channel managers, partners, etc.). As such, the Accommodations or their representatives are given access to a Property Management Solution or extranet or other connectivity solution through which they are fully responsible for updating all rates, availability, description, pictures, booking conditions, accommodation policies and other information which is displayed on the Site. Although we will use commercially reasonable skill and care in performing our services we will not verify if, 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 untrue information or non-delivery of information. Each Accommodation remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the Accommodation 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 accommodation providers will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist you and serve as a point of contact with the Accommodation.
Please note that IBFW is one of many channels Accommodations use to make their inventory available for reservation. When a search result indicates that a particular Accommodation has no more rooms available, that means the room type is not available for reservation through IBFW. The Site does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of (the quality, service level or rating of) any Accommodation listed on the Site. We hereby expressly disclaim any representation, warranty or undertaking in relation to the quality, status or adequacy of any Accommodation listed on the Site. The Accommodations can be ranked on the Site according to different criteria (star rating, reviews, etc.). The default ranking is based on an automated algorithm which may be updated or amended from time to time, and which takes into account different factors including but not necessarily limited to availability, promotions and rates, historical popularity, commission or margin, revenue, conversion (the ratio of reservations made to Site visits), sales of room nights, cancellations, quality of content, guest review scores, star ratings etc. We reserve the right not to accept you or bookings (or in exceptional cases to cancel confirmed ones) at our discretion and for whatever (legal) reason without the need to justify such refusal. Typical reasons for rejecting you or booking include, but are not limited to: Accommodation request(s), reselling of Accommodations booked through the Site on an individual or mass basis without our prior written approval ("Reselling"), breach of the Terms of Use, force majeure events, trade or economic sanctions, embargoes, legal restrictions, (suspicions of) fraud or theft, suspected criminal activity, suspicious bookings, submission by you of misleading or erroneous information, Payment Instrument problems, inappropriate behavior, threats, insults, violence, refusal to supply information, practical obstacles, communication problems, obvious errors (see below), history, blacklisting by governments or international organizations (USA, EU, UN, Singapore), etc. In case a booking is rejected or cancelled by IBFW and a payment has already been made, you will receive a refund of the total booking value paid to accommodation partner, except in the case of unauthorized Reselling or in any other appropriate case that we determine in our sole and absolute discretion where we reserve the right not to refund the total booking value or any part thereof. Refunds will not be issued in the event of unauthorized Reselling due to many negative factors including the disadvantage such practice imposes on our authorized and contracted affiliate partners, Accommodations who provide IBFW with inventory on a contracted and trusted basis and the loss and negative brand impact caused to IBFW due to unauthorized Resellers attempting to undercut IBFW's business which may include placing the resold inventory on sites run by competitors of IBFW without our knowledge. We also reserve the right to bar ("blacklist") users from the Site, 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 or make adjustments 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, conditions, points) which a reasonable person would not consider to be normal.
The booking or awarded points will be adjusted, or, where relevant, the amount charged will be reimbursed without charge in such cases. Whether to cancel or reject a booking for this reason is in IBFW's sole discretion. Please note that suspected group bookings can also be rejected or cancelled by IBFW or the Accommodation as most Accommodations have specific procedures for group bookings. Contact our Customer Service team for more information. Circumstances such as ongoing renovations, Accommodation booking errors, and specific guest needs can affect the quality of your stay. Be sure to let the Accommodation know any special requests or requirements you have at check-in. A word about star ratings The Accommodation star or other denoted ratings ("star ratings") are provided for your information only. The star ratings are based on information we have received from our suppliers, including the Accommodations, and may take into account the Accommodation's facilities, rates, reviews, and services. Star ratings may be unrelated to any other ratings assigned by government tourism authorities. We do not independently verify star ratings. A star rating is only indicative of the level of comfort you can expect to find in a particular Accommodation, with a higher star rating generally being indicative of a higher level of comfort and amenities. For more detailed information, please check the detailed description on the Site. Please be aware that star ratings can vary greatly on the basis of location, available alternatives, local market conditions, practices or other circumstances. Thus, it is possible that a star rating in one particular country or city is not comparable to the same star rating in another country or city due to such circumstances. Star ratings do not necessarily reflect all the amenities or services that might be available at an Accommodation, and some amenities and features may not be available in every room or at every property with a particular star rating. If there are particular amenities or features that are important to you, please contact our Customer Service and inquire as to the availability of such amenities or features.
B. Other Ancillary Services IBFW provides an online platform through which you can browse other services, including but not necessarily limited to flights and rental cars, ("Ancillary Services") and make reservations for such Ancillary Services. Although IBFW Site provides the platform for which you can browse and make reservations for these Ancillary Services, the Ancillary Services are provided by IBFW associated companies or partners ("Partners"), which have been carefully selected by IBFW. For example, flight display, search and reservation services on the IBFW Site are currently provided by IBFW.com and their respective suppliers. Such Partners will be clearly displayed on the Site when browsing the Ancillary Services and a link provided to the Partner's terms and conditions of use and/or privacy policy, which will govern the relationship between you and our Partner for the relevant Ancillary Service reservation. By making a booking through the Site for the Ancillary Services, you make an offer to book a reservation (e.g. for flights or a rental car) at the price listed for such reservation on the Site, and on such other terms and conditions notified to you by the Partner from time to time, which shall become a binding contract when your reservation is accepted by the Partner. The Partner will indicate the acceptance of your Ancillary Service booking via an e-mail confirmation to you. The Partner reserves the right to reject bookings as set out in their terms and conditions.
2. Use of the Site As stated above, the Terms of Use form an agreement between you and IBFW Companies. IBFW may also offer the option to book Ancillary Services (flights, rental cars, restaurant table) in cooperation with selected Partners as described above. IBFW grants you a limited, restricted, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Site only as expressly permitted in the Terms of Use. Except for this limited license, we do not grant you any other rights or license with respect to the Site; any rights or licenses not expressly granted herein are reserved. The content and information on the Site, as well as the software and infrastructure used to provide such content and information, is proprietary to IBFW or its suppliers and providers, including the Accommodations and Ancillary Services. You may only use the Site to make bona fide and legitimate enquiries or bookings and you hereby undertake not to make any speculative, false or fraud
3. Prices for Accommodations, Additional Charges, Taxes and Fees, IBFW exchange rates A. Prices for Accommodations We strive to have the most competitive prices and we want you to pay the lowest price possible for your stay at an Accommodation, however, these rates made by Accommodations may carry special restrictions and conditions, for example in respect of cancellation and refund. Please check the room type and rate details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. The same room type may have different rates, depending on such restrictions and conditions (see also section 6 below).
B. Additional Charges by Accommodations Please note that all prices on the Site are for your Accommodation room reservation only and are for the requested stay dates and for the number of people indicated, unless indicated otherwise. The Accommodation room reservations rates are displayed per room and per night. Except where indicated otherwise, IBFW will typically display the rate exclusive of tax recovery and service charges (see below for more details) on the Site, and display these additional tax recovery and service charges during the booking path. Without prejudice to what is set out below, you will see the total inclusive price prior to confirming your booking. Display settings may vary, but this will at the latest show on the final booking page (before the confirmation screen). Please verify every step of your reservation on the booking form; you can discontinue the booking at any time prior to the final confirmation screen (please see below for post-booking cancellations).
What is included in the rate is displayed on the Site (under the Accommodation information section or prior to the final booking confirmation) and/or in the confirmation email/voucher. Breakfast is typically not included unless explicitly stated otherwise. Hotel resort and other mandatory fees (see below) and certain local city, tourist or occupancy taxes (when applicable) that are required to be collected directly from guests, are typically not included in the rate unless stated otherwise. Please verify the Accommodation description or policies on the Site. Insurance of any kind is never included in the rates. The standard Accommodation room reservations are for single or double occupancy, extra beds will usually incur extra charges. The Accommodation may also refuse to accept additional persons if not duly informed in advance. Please note that certain Accommodations may charge you a so-called additional but mandatory "resort fee" (or similar) for the use of certain of their services. This resort fee is typically not included in the price, but it will be mentioned in the Accommodation description on the Site. You may also be charged directly by the Accommodation for energy surcharges, baggage handling fees, newspaper delivery fees, in-room safe fees, tourism fees, or housekeeping fees. The practice to add additional Accommodation fees is outside IBFW's control and occurs in certain markets, including the India and USA. Needless to say, optional incidental fees and personal consumptions are almost never included, for example, parking charges, minibar charges, phone calls, room service, food & beverage, gala dinners, movie rentals, internet, Banking charges etc.. During certain high season periods, certain Accommodations will add on a compulsory gala dinner (e.g. for New Year, Christmas, Chinese New Year,etc.). This is not included in the room rate, but will be displayed on the booking form. Please check the "Accommodation Information", "Booking Conditions", "Cancellation Policy" or similar wording on the Site. When in doubt whether something is included, you can contact our Customer Service team.
For certain Accommodations, a compulsory transportation or transfer fee will be charged on top of the room rate at the request of the Accommodation, or at your option where available. This is especially common for island destinations (e.g. the Maldives) where you need Accommodation transportation to reach the Accommodation. Please note that IBFW does not organize any Accommodation transportation, this is always organized by and offered by or on behalf of the Accommodation, who is responsible for such transportation services, not IBFW. IBFW does not assume any liability for the quality, safety, frequency or service levels of such transportation services. In some jurisdictions, the Accommodations are also required to directly collect a local bed or city tax from the guests. Governments have on occasion issued additional taxes and may ask the Accommodations to collect these directly. These charges, if applicable, will be payable by you to the Accommodation directly at checkout. Please verify with the Accommodation which extra fees are (not) included.
C. Additional Charges for Ancillary Services Please note that all prices on the Site are for Ancillary Services are set by our Partners, unless otherwise indicated. Please refer to the appropriate Partner's terms and conditions for any additional charges that may be applicable to your reservation (for example, airport tax).
D. Currency Conversion The prices shown in IBFW listings are based on rates set by the properties in their Property Currency. You may choose to view listing prices in the Property Currency or a different Display Currency. Display Currency means the currency in which you choose to view prices on our Site. Payment Currency means the currency in which you choose to pay for a booking. Property Currency means the currency in which the property or service provider sets the rates for their listings of accommodations or services on our Site and wishes to receive funds from IBFW. By default, the Property Currency is the official currency in the territory where the property or service is located. Account provider ratesIf your Payment Currency is different from your payment account currency, your account provider will determine the exchange rate to use when the transaction is applied to your account. Your account provider may offer a higher or lower rate than IBFW, and may charge you additional fees for a foreign transaction. IBFW does not control or benefit from your account provider's exchange rate or fees. IBFW ratesIf your Payment Currency is the same as your payment account currency, but different from either the Property Currency or your Display Currency, IBFW will use our Indicated Rate or Daily Adjusted Rate to convert prices. The applicable rate will depend on choices you select when viewing listings and making a booking, as described below. Indicated Rate – Bank Generic Composite Rate mid-rate on the current day.
Daily Adjusted Rate – Bank Generic Composite Rate on the day payment is processed plus Bank Conveyance charge. Converted currency prices are indicativeIf you choose a Display Currency that is different from the Property Currency, IBFW will display indicative prices converted using our Indicated Rate. The converted Display Currency price is a preliminary estimate of the price in your Display Currency, and is not firm or binding. The converted price in the Display Currency is provided for your convenience, to allow you to compare different rates, packages, and conditions in the currency you prefer to use.Because room prices are set by properties in the Property Currency, the amount you pay for a booking will depend on three variables: the Payment Currency you choose; whether your booking type is Pay Now, Book Now Pay Later, or Pay at Hotel; the exchange rate between your Payment Currency and the Property Currency on the day we process your payment. Pay Now bookingsWhen you select your Payment Currency on the booking page, we will update your total price to show the amount we will process to your payment account. We can do this because we know the exchange rate at that time.
If you choose a Payment Currency that is different from the Display Currency, IBFW will use the Daily Adjusted Rate to convert the amount. For all other Pay Now transactions, we will use our Indicated Rate to convert currencies. Book Now Pay Later bookingsWhen you select your Payment Currency on the booking page, we will update your total price to show an estimate of the amount we will process on your payment date. We cannot show you the exact amount because the exchange rate will fluctuate between the booking date and the payment date. If you choose a Payment Currency that is different from the Property Currency or Display Currency IBFW uses our Daily Adjusted Rate for Book Now Pay Later transactions. Pay at Hotel bookingsWhen you make a Pay at Hotel booking, we will update your total price to show the amount you will pay in the Property Currency. You will pay the Property directly, in the Property Currency or any other currency the Property agrees to accept. If you pay in a different currency, or with a payment account that uses a different currency, the actual amount you pay will depend on the exchange rate(s) used by the Property and your payment providers. These factors are outside of IBFW's control. A Word on Charges for Taxes and Fees In connection with facilitating your Accommodation transaction, the charge to your Payment Instrument may include a charge for taxes and fees ("Taxes and Fees") unless indicated otherwise. In relation to Accommodations, this charge includes an estimated amount to recover the amount IBFW Companies pay to the Accommodation in connection with your reservation for taxes owed by the Accommodation including, without limitation, sales and use tax, occupancy tax, room tax, excise tax, value added tax and/or other similar taxes. In certain locations, the tax 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 Accommodation. The amount paid to the Accommodation in connection with your reservation for taxes may vary from the amount IBFW Companies estimate and include in the charge to you. The balance of the charge for Taxes and Fees, if any, is a fee IBFW Companies retain as part of the compensation for our services and to cover the costs of your reservation, including, for example, customer service costs. If the balance is negative, IBFW Companies will absorb such difference. The charge for Taxes and Fees varies based on a number of factors including, without limitation, the amount IBFW Companies pay the Accommodation and the location of the Accommodation where you will be staying, and may include profit that IBFW Companies retain. Except as described below, IBFW Companies are not the vendors collecting and remitting taxes to the applicable taxing authorities. Our Accommodation suppliers, as vendors, include all applicable taxes in the amount billed and IBFW Companies pay over such amounts directly to the vendors. IBFW Companies are not co-vendors 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 vary greatly by location. For transactions involving Accommodations located within certain jurisdictions, the charge to your Payment Instrument for Taxes and Fees includes a payment of tax that IBFW Companies are required to collect and remit to the jurisdiction for tax owed on amounts IBFW Companies retain as compensation for services. For Accommodations where you need to pay at the Accommodation, the price may or may not include taxes and fees. Please verify the booking conditions and your confirmation mail or voucher or contact our Customer Service team. As stated above, certain cities or municipalities charge city, bed, tourist occupancy or equivalent taxes that have to be collected by the Accommodation locally. In relation to Ancillary Services, calculation of applicable taxes and fees will be set out in our Partner's terms and conditions.
4. Privacy We respect your privacy. Please have a look at our Privacy Policy for further information.
5. Payment - Credit Card – "Book Now, Pay Later" – Age - Fraud For pre-paid Accommodation bookings with IBFW, you authorize us to collect and process (including the collection and processing through a third party) your information required by processing service providers or the financial institution that issues your Payment Instrument such as a credit or debit card in order to verify your identity. Personal information collected about you and that may be shared to such third parties (including to handle your transaction and/or maintain your account) is set out in our Privacy Policy. To complete payment for such pre-paid Accommodation bookings, you authorize the applicable IBFW Companies to charge or debit your Payment Instrument for the full price (sometimes without any option for refund depending on the Accommodation'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 your Payment Instrument is valid and has sufficient credit on the future payment date. If the Payment Instrument 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. IBFW Companies will process refunds, if and when applicable, within a reasonable timeframe.You also authorize the crediting to your Payment Instrument in case of reversals, refunds, or adjustments through the service which facilitates the processing of payment transactions. For certain Accommodations, IBFW Companies will not charge your Payment Instrument, as you will pay the Accommodation directly for your stay (post-paid). However, in such cases some Accommodations may pre-authorize your card, charge a deposit or charge the full price of the reservation up-front. Accommodations may require credit card details in order to guarantee your reservation. As such, IBFW Companies will send your Payment Instrument information directly to the Accommodation at which your booking is made and may verify (i.e. pre-authorize) your Payment Instrument as well. In order to safeguard and encrypt your Payment Instrument information when in transit to us, we use the "Secure Socket Layer (SSL)" technology for our services. Please note that your bank may impose additional fees on the transaction, over which IBFW Companies have no control. Certain Payment Instrument companies charge their member banks a fee for processing "foreign transactions". If you make card transactions and the recipient uses a bank located in a different country other than the bank which issued your card, an international service assessment, cross-border transaction fee or similar fee may be charged. Your issuing bank may or may not pass this fee on to you (the card user). Please contact your issuing bank for details as this is outside the control of IBFW Companies. In the event of Payment Instrument fraud or unauthorized use of your Payment Instrument by third parties, you should contact your bank or card issuer immediately upon becoming aware of such unauthorized use. In order to make a booking you must be over 18 years old (or such other age at which majority is reached in your country or territory) and have the full legal capacity to make the transaction (or have the authorization to do so 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. IBFW Companies reserve the right not to accept certain Payment Instruments. IBFW may add or remove other payment methods at its discretion. For increased convenience, IBFW now also offers the option to have your Payment Instrument details securely stored on file. For more details, have a look at our Privacy Policy. 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, also 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 an Accommodation could become fully booked during the fraud check, in which case the reservation will no longer be available. IBFW 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. A word about failed payments For a variety of reasons, payment on the Site may fail. In such cases, IBFW will offer you alternatives to ensure your reservation can go ahead. If you have any questions, please contact accomodation partner.

The general cancellation and no-show policy of each Accommodation is made available on the Site at the Accommodation information pages or under "Booking Conditions", "Cancellation Policies" or the like, and in the confirmation email and voucher. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with the Accommodation's cancellation and no-show policy, in some cases for the entire stay or the first night. We recommend that you read the cancellation and no-show policy of the Accommodation carefully prior to making your reservation. If you fail to check in to your Accommodation on time on the day of your reservation and do not alert the Accommodation, the remaining portion of your reservation may be canceled and you may not be entitled to a refund, depending on the terms and conditions of the applicable Accommodation. Regardless of the Accommodation's cancellation policy, IBFW Companies reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee, this will be indicated on the Site. Please carefully check the Accommodation details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. Some Accommodations will charge extra for early or late check-outs. If you wish to review, adjust or cancel your reservation, please revert to the confirmation email and follow the instructions therein, use our self-service tool or contact Customer Service. Many Accommodations have specific policies around children, accompanying travelers and/or traveling with pets. As indicated above, you are strongly advised to check with Customer Service, the Accommodation itself or to verify the Accommodation policies. Special Needs: If you have special needs (e.g., wheelchair accessible room) you must contact the Accommodation and verify that special needs can be met. Please note that all special requests are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed by IBFW. Depending on the policy of the applicable Accommodation, your reservation will be refunded, canceled or modified if special needs cannot be met. If available, your request will be confirmed upon arrival.
A word about IBFW Price Alerts You may elect to set IBFW "Price Alerts" on Accommodations found on our Site. If elected, we will send you a Price Alert when prices at your selected Accommodation(s) and for the indicated time frame on our Site change. Price Alerts will not be specific to a type of room or other features relating to an Accommodation (e.g. breakfast included, full board, type of bed). A maximum of one Price Alert per Accommodation per day will be sent to you. Sending a Price Alert will only be triggered if the Accommodation price changes beyond a "materiality" threshold we set. The type of Price Alert sent to you will depend on the medium you use, that is by email if your chosen Site is the IBFW website or by push notification if your chosen Site is our IBFW app. You are responsible for updating your Price Alert settings. Price Alerts within your settings will continue to be sent to you even if you make a booking for the selected Accommodation or another Accommodation for the indicated time period until you change your Price Alert settings. Opting into receiving Price Alerts will not affect any other choices you have made regarding receiving communications from us. Additionally, we will of course provide you with the ability to opt out of receiving Price Alerts at any time by clicking on the "turn off price alerts" or a similar message found in the Price Alert sent to you. For more information on this, please see our Privacy Policy. A word about IBFW Secret Deals Through its "Secret Deals" program, IBFW is frequently able to offer quality Accommodation rooms at very attractive rates, which means you can enjoy great savings on quality accommodation at selected properties worldwide, from luxurious five-star to charming boutique hotels. For various reasons, the Accommodations participating in this program prefer to stay anonymous until the booking is confirmed and paid. Secret Deals are indicated with a specific logo and you can browse and consult key information about these properties (general area, description, facilities) prior to making a reservation, but you will not know which property it is. Upon completion of your reservation, the property name, location and contact details will be revealed. To ensure that IBFW can continue to offer these special rates on a regular basis, Secret Deal bookings are non-cancellable and non-refundable.
A word about PointsPlus Through its "PointsPlus" program, IBFW is offering you the opportunity to collect points with certain third party loyalty programs (e.g. miles programs from airlines). For certain Accommodations, you will be able to select a third party loyalty program from the PointsPlus menu to view offers, next to our usual room offering. If available, you will be offered the choice of a PointsPlus booking that will incur points with your selected third party loyalty program. The points you are earning and the program name are reconfirmed on your booking form and the thank you confirmation message you will receive after making a PointsPlus booking. Points will be posted directly on your third-party program account within 2 to 8 weeks after your check-out date. For the avoidance of doubt, the PointsPlus program does not apply to Ancillary Services provided on the Site. Some important notes on all PointsPlus bookings: The membership ID of the intended beneficiary of the third party points must belong to the guest staying at the hotel (identified by the lead guest name); The rates for PointsPlus bookings may be different from regular bookings at the same conditions; PointsPlus booking rates cannot be broken down into a room rate and points component; Any applicable cancellation policy will apply in full to the PointsPlus bookings; Only reward points or miles can be collected, not status points or points; Cancelled reservations will not earn points, regardless of the financial cancellations conditions; Points cannot be exchanged in cash and are not cumulative with other offers; The terms and conditions of the third party loyalty programs will apply to such program. A word about Promotions and Gift Cards IBFW may offer promotional rates, vouchers, discounts, and special offers ("Promotions") and "HotelPlus Cash" (sometimes called "Gift Cards") from time to time. Promotions may not be combined, nor may any Promotions be combined with Gift Cards. Promotions and Gift Cards are subject to rules and special conditions. IBFW Gift Cards are governed by the IBFW Gift Cards Terms .

You are advised to check with the relevant embassies, consulates and/or visa departments of the countries you wish to visit. It is your responsibility to obtain whatever travel documents are required. Please note that some countries have strict rules and regulations on the import of restricted or prohibited goods, items or substances. These can include but are not necessarily limited to alcohol, tobacco, perfumes, drugs, medication, books, movies, DVDs, adult entertainment materials, food stuffs, plants, animal parts, etc. It is your responsibility to verify and comply with applicable regulations.

To the extent permissible pursuant to the relevant applicable laws, and without prejudice to the limitations set out in the Terms of Use, the liability of IBFW Companies, in the aggregate, will not exceed the lesser of (a) the aggregate cost of your reservation as set out in the confirmation email (whether for one event or series of connected events) or (b) two hundred and fifty United States dollars (or its equivalent in local currency). In case of an overcharge or mischarge caused by IBFW, you can make a claim regarding all erroneous charges notwithstanding what is set out above.

Miscellaneous IBFW Companies do not in any way (directly or indirectly, independently or in conjunction with any party) own, manage, operate or control the Accommodations, or any room in such Accommodations. The Accommodations are liable and responsible for providing accommodation services and welcoming people who have booked through the Site as their guests. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless IBFW Companies, their subsidiaries and other affiliates, and their partners, payment service providers and other applicable third parties from and against any liability, damage or loss including legal fees and expenses that are incurred or suffered as a result of (i) any breach or non-compliance by you of any law or any term of these Terms of Use, (ii) any action, inaction or omission by you, or (iii) any dispute or litigation caused by your actions, inactions or omissions. If you use the Site for or on behalf of a third-party ("Third-party"), such as a family member or a traveling companion, you are responsible for any error in the accuracy of information provided in connection with such use. In addition, you must inform the Third-party of all applicable terms and conditions. Each customer using the Site for or on behalf of a Third-party agrees to indemnify and hold each IBFW Company harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, suits and claims (including the costs of defense), relating to the Third-party's or the user's failure to fulfill any of its obligations as described above. You are at all times bound by the local laws and regulations. Things which are legal in certain countries may be illegal in others. You should enquire about applicable restrictions. IBFW Companies cannot be held liable in case an Accommodation refuses to check you in or asks you to leave for legal or regulatory reasons. For your convenience, the Site and the Terms of Use exist in a number of languages and local versions (identified by different top level domain names in some cases), but have originally been drawn up in the English language. In case of conflict between the English language version and a translated version, the English language version of the Terms of Use shall prevail. The Terms of Use shall be deemed severable. In the event that any provision is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions. The severed provisions shall be replaced by a provision approximating as much as possible the original wording and intent. IBFW reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to the extent permissible under relevant law to temporarily or permanently modify, suspend, or terminate the Site and/or any portion thereof, including any service or product available through the Site, and/or your use of the Site, or any portion thereof. In the event of termination of the Site, the reservations made via IBFW will still be honored unless you receive a notification. You will still be bound by your obligations under the Terms of Use, including the warranties made by you, and by the disclaimers and limitations of liability. Additionally, IBFW shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Site. IBFW reserves the right to amend or repeal the Terms of Use (or parts thereof) as it deems appropriate. Accommodations have the right to change their offerings and this is outside IBFW's control. For the avoidance of doubt, the Terms of Use do not apply to commercial contractual relationships IBFW Companies may have with others, including but not limited to the Accommodations and certain marketing partners. Local tax receipts are only available from properties for bookings where payments are made at the property. For pre-paid bookings (pay IBFW), IBFW Companies can issue local invoices for bookings in India since IBFW is a tax resident of India and also IBFW receipts for anywhere else. The Terms of Use and the provision of our services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India, and any dispute arising out of the Terms of Use and the services of IBFW Companies shall exclusively be submitted to the competent courts in Mumbai, India. Failure by IBFW Companies to enforce a right does not result in waiver of such right. You may not assign or transfer your rights unless agreed by us. We reserve the right to freely assign the Terms of Use and the rights and obligations hereunder. We may amend the Terms of Use at any time by posting a variation on the Site. The latest version of the Terms of Use will supersede all previous versions. Your bookings will be governed by the then current applicable Terms of Use at the time of your specific bookings.
