3- PRICE AND PAYMENT

  • Membership Fees: Membership fees are charged annually or as otherwise agreed. Fees are non-refundable, except where required by law. By subscribing, you agree to automatic renewal of your membership unless cancelled.
  • Booking Payments: Payment for hotel bookings is typically processed at the time of booking or as specified by the hotel. Additional taxes, resort fees, and other charges may apply, which will be disclosed at the time of booking.
  • Currency and Exchange Rates: Prices are displayed in the currency specified on the Platform. For international transactions, your bank or payment provider may apply currency conversion fees, which are your responsibility.

3.1 Price

The prices related to the reservation of the Services are indicated before, during and after the reservation. For Accommodation Services, the prices shown are per room for the number of people and date selected.

When confirming the reservation of a Service, the total price is indicated to the Customer in the amount with taxes included in the business currency of the Establishment (which in some cases may be different from the local currency of the Establishment) and is valid only once the reservation becomes final.

If the payment of the total price of the booked Service is made at the Establishment in a currency other than that confirmed on the reservation, the currency exchange costs are the responsibility of the Customer. Note that if a conversion of the currency confirmed on the reservation into another currency appears on the Site, it is given only for informational purposes and is not contractual, especially given the possible change of exchange rates between the reservation date and the dates of stay at the Establishment.

Based on the total price in euros, the latter is converted in accordance with the exchange rate of the day.

Unless otherwise stated on the Site, the options (for example, breakfast, half-board, full board etc.) that are not offered during the reservation of the Service are not included in the price.

The tourist tax, presented during the reservation process of the Service, is to be paid directly on location at the Establishment, except in the event of online pre-payment prior to the stay, where the amount can be included.

The prices take account of the applicable taxes on the day of the reservation and any change of the applicable taxes will be automatically reflected in the price indicated on the billing date.

Any modification or introduction of new legal or regulatory fees imposed by the competent authorities will automatically be reflected in the price indicated on the billing date.

Some promotional offers are available only on the Site and sold exclusively on the internet, and in no case are available at the reception of the Establishment.

In general, the prices displayed on the Site are determined through a practice of yield management. They may vary according to the reservation period (advance reservation or close to the date of stay), the dates of stay sought (weekdays/weekends, season, school holidays, public holidays, events, etc.), according to the size of the expected demand or other factors such as the geopolitical, climatic or economic context.

In the event of promotional offers, the promotions displayed apply to the standard rate of the day offered by the Establishment and which would have been applicable in the absence of the promotion.

3.2 Payment

The Customer provides their payment information to pre-pay the reservation before the stay or as a guarantee of the reservation, indicating directly, in the area provided for such a purpose (secure entry by SSL encryption) when it is a payment card: the payment card number, without spaces between the figures, its date of validity (it is noted that the bank card used must be valid at the time of stay) and the security code as part of a pre-payment on the payment platforms mentioned below.

Vanity Pass has chosen a Payment Service Provider to secure online payments by bank card. The payment card of the Customer is examined for its validity by these partners and can be refused for several reasons: card stolen or blocked, limit reached, input error, etc. In the event of any problem, the Customer will have to approach their bank and the Establishment or any other entity to confirm their reservation of the Service and payment method.

The online payment methods available and mentioned on the payment page of the Site may include Visa and Mastercard, American Express, JCC, Diners, China UnionPay, Post Finance, ELO, Bancontact, Sofort, iDeal, Przelewy24, PayPal, Alipay, WeChat, ShareGroop, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Banque Casino cards. This list is subject to change.

In the event of payment to the Establishment or any other entity, each Establishment or any other entity may accept different means of payment, but the Customer must present the payment card to the Establishment that they used to guarantee the reservation or make the pre-payment.

The Establishment may also ask the Customer to present an identification document for the purpose of payment card fraud prevention.

If the Customer has not pre-paid for their stay online, the Establishment may, upon arrival, ask the Customer for a deposit or an authorisation to debit the payment card to guarantee payment of the sums corresponding to the services consumed on-site.

In the event of the Customer's failure to show up on the first day of their reservation of an Accommodation Service ("no show"), the Customer's reservation will be cancelled in full. The Customer is informed that in such a case, the Establishment will put their rooms up for sale and if the reservation is non-cancellable / non-exchangeable / non-refundable, the Customer will not be entitled to any reimbursement or compensation. If the reservation is guaranteed by payment card or had been the subject of a bank pre-authorisation, the Establishment will charge the Customer the cost of the first night on the payment card that has been given as a guarantee for the reservation and any additional nights of the reservation will be cancelled free of charge, unless otherwise indicated in the Special Conditions.

At the time of pre-payment, the amount that is debited when reserving the Service includes the total amount indicated at the time of reservation (including all applicable taxes) and, if applicable, the price of the options selected by the Customer, as described in clause 4.1 above.

An invoice will be sent in electronic format to the e-mail address communicated by the Customer at the time of making the reservation; if the Customer wishes to receive an invoice in paper format, they must expressly request this from the Establishment concerned.

3.3 Prepayment

Prepayment means any payment made at the time of booking by the Customer. Once the pre-payment has been made, the Customer will receive an email confirming the booking.

The amount charged at the time of booking the Service includes the total amount indicated (including all applicable taxes, except for tourist taxes for unclassified Establishments) and, if applicable, the price of the options selected by the Customer, as described in clause 4.1 above.

The debit of the amount of the booking may take some time to process. If after the processing time the amount of the booking has not been debited, the booking will be cancelled.

3.4 Credit card guarantee

The guarantee of the reservation by credit card means that the Customer's payment details are taken at the time of the reservation.

The Customer's credit card is not debited and payment for the stay is made directly to the Establishment on the day of arrival or departure, depending on the Establishment, unless the Customer does not show up at the Establishment and has not previously cancelled the reservation in accordance with the cancellation conditions of the reserved rate.

3.5 Pre-authorisation

It is up to each Establishment to define the rules relating to pre-authorisation.

If the Customer has not prepaid their stay online, the Establishment may, on the day of the Customer's arrival, request an authorization (also called "pre-authorisation") from the Customer's bank for the credit card, which may be up to the amount of the reservation and a fixed amount to cover any consumables or expenses incurred by the Customer on the premises (breakfast if it is not included in the rate, restaurant, bar, tourist tax if applicable, etc.) This fixed amount is determined by the Establishment according to the number of persons and the number of nights booked.

The pre-authorisation request is not an immediate debit but corresponds to a later payment reserve, authorized by the Customer's bank, which temporarily reduces the limit of the credit card used to guarantee the possibility of a later debit. In some cases, depending on the Customer's bank, the pre-authorization request may appear as a pending debit on the bank account associated with the card used.

When the pre-authorisation request has been activated and confirmed by the bank either the Customer presents himself to the Establishment, the payment of the entire stay is made directly to the Establishment on the day of arrival or departure, depending on the Establishment, which then proceeds to request the release of the pre-authorisation request from the Customer's bank. Any consumption or expenses incurred by the Customer on the spot must be paid by the Customer on the day of check-out to the Establishment, or the Customer does not come to the Establishment on the first day of the booking, the Establishment will then send a debit request to the Customer's bank.

In rare cases, the pre-authorisation request may result in a debit by the Customer's bank before the actual debit is made. In this case, the debit will not be made twice. The balance, if in favour of the Customer, will be automatically re-credited by the bank to the Customer.

If the reservation is cancelled after the pre-authorisation request has been activated in accordance with the cancellation conditions of the reserved fare, a request for cancellation of the pre-authorization request is automatically sent to the bank of the cardholder used. In rare cases, this cancellation may appear as a refund.

Please note that it usually takes 24 to 48 hours to process the release of the pre-authorised amount (or refund), but it can take up to 7 business days or more, depending on the cardholder's bank.

To activate a pre-authorisation request, the Customer is asked to provide their credit card information as part of the reservation guarantee. The Customer is informed in advance of the characteristics of the pre-authorisation request. The credit card details are only kept by Vanity Pass ’s payment service provider, in accordance with a strict policy of bank data security.

If the Customer has prepaid their stay online and has not taken advantage of the online check-in and fast check-out Service as described in clause below, the Establishment may ask the Customer for pre-authorisation upon arrival in order to guarantee payment of the amounts corresponding to the services consumed on the premises.

If the Customer has not prepaid their stay online and no pre-authorisation has been requested from the Customer at the time of reservation, the Establishment may ask the Customer, upon arrival, for a pre-authorisation to guarantee the payment of the amount corresponding to the services consumed on the premises.

3.6 Customer's failure to show up

In the event of the Customer's failure to show up on the first day of his/her reservation of an Vanity Pass Service ("no show"), the Customer's reservation will be cancelled in full and:

  • If the no-show reservation is a non-cancellable and/or non-exchangeable and/or non- refundable reservation, the Establishment shall retain, as a deposit, the total amount paid by the Customer upon reservation.
  • If the reservation that is the subject of a no-show is a cancellation and/or exchangeable and/or refundable reservation guaranteed by credit card, the Establishment will charge the credit card provided at the time of the reservation for the non-refundable amount. For Accommodation Services this will include the charges for the first night reserved (plus taxes) but additional nights (beyond the first night) will be cancelled without charge.

The Customer is informed that in such a case, the Establishment will put its rooms back on sale. The Customer will not be entitled to any refund or compensation.

At the time of prepayment of a non-cancellable/non-exchangeable/non-refundable reservation, the amount of the deposit that is charged includes the total amount indicated at the time of the reservation and, if applicable, the price of the options selected by the Customer, as described in clause above.

4- REFUND POLICY (Membership fees)

Vanity Pass does not provide refunds for membership fees after the membership period has started. Exceptions may apply under certain circumstances, such as technical errors during the subscription process. Refund requests can be directed to support@vanitypass.com for review, but approval is at our sole discretion.

9- OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY OF VANITY PASS

Vanity Pass undertakes, within an obligation of means, to provide access to the Site and the Services offered in accordance with the Terms, to act with diligence and competence, and to make every effort, within a reasonable limit, to remedy any malfunction brought to its attention.

Vanity Pass may, however, be forced to temporarily suspend the Site without notice, especially for technical reasons involving maintenance, without incurring liability.

The Customer acknowledges and accepts that Vanity Pass 's liability does not extend to any inconvenience or damage arising from the use of the internet network, including, but not limited to:

  • the poor transmission and/or reception of any data and/or information over the internet
  • the failure of any reception equipment or lines of communication; and
  • any malfunction of the internet network that prevents the Site from operating properly and/or reserving the Services.

The Site may redirect users to web links of other websites that are published and managed by third parties for which Vanity Pass disclaims any liability for the content of such websites and the services offered therein. In this respect, it is specifically noted that partners are responsible for the promotion of the offers published on their own websites. The decision to consult third-party websites is therefore the full and complete responsibility of the Customer.

The Establishments are operated by legal entities separate from Vanity Pass.

Vanity Pass and the Establishments are bound by a contract under which Vanity Pass provides hotel know-how, brands and various services including distribution, sales, marketing and loyalty services.

Vanity Pass serves as an intermediary between each of the Establishments and the Customer. Vanity Pass has a mandate regarding the negotiation, training and marketing of Vanity Pass Services at the Establishments.

The Customer may not hold Vanity Pass liable for any shortcomings attributable to the Establishment. Information about the Establishment is available:

  • in the booking confirmation e-mail; and
  • on the Establishment's profile on the Site.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that in the event of litigation and/or a complaint relating to a stay at an Establishment or the reservation of an Vanity Pass Service, the Customer undertakes to exclusively contact the operating company of the Establishment concerned and that in this respect, the Customer cannot in any way seek the liability of Vanity Pass or any Vanity Pass group company for deficiencies attributable to the Establishment. Information concerning the Establishment is available in the booking confirmation e-mail.

10- FORCE MAJEURE AND RELOCATION

Neither of the Parties can be held liable to the other party in the event of the non-fulfilment of its obligations resulting from a Force Majeure Event. It is expressly agreed that a Force Majeure Event suspends the performance of the reciprocal obligations of the Parties and that each Party bears the burden of the costs arising therefrom.

If a Force Majeure Event lasts more than thirty (30) days after its occurrence, these Terms may be terminated by any of the Parties without any of them being able to claim damages.

In the case of a Force Majeure Event, an exceptional event or impossibility to carry out the Service and, in particular, making the room of the Establishment available to the Customer, the Establishment may reserve the option of providing accommodation to the Customer, in whole or in part, at an Establishment in the equivalent category or perform a Service of the same nature, subject to the prior agreement of the Customer. The reasonable expenses relating to the transfer (additional cost of the rooms, transportation and a phone call) between the two Establishment shall be payable by the concerned Establishment in accordance with the existing standard procedure of the said Establishment.

For the purposes of these Terms, “Force Majeure Event” means an event of an extraordinary nature, which was not caused by the Party claiming for it and which was beyond the reasonable control of the Party claiming it (“Claiming Party”).

Force Majeure Event does not include any party’s failure to pay or reimburse any amounts due hereunder as and when due.

11- CONTACT, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPLAINTS

Customer Service is at your disposal to address any claim relating to a Service on the Site. You can reach us at backoffice@vanitystays.com

You can review our Privacy Policy here. Vanity Pass takes reasonable measures to safeguard your personal data but cannot guarantee absolute security.

When the Customer uses the Site, when making a reservation, Vanity Pass and Vanity Pass group entities process personal data as described in the "Vanity Pass Group Privacy Policy”.

Thus, the information collected as part of the Customer’s reservation is intended for Vanity Pass, its entities, its partners, its service providers (in particular online payment service providers) and the Establishments for the purpose of executing the reservation or taking pre- contractual measures. Once the guarantees provided for by the applicable regulations have been put in place, the Customer’s data may be transferred from Europe to countries that do not ensure, from the point of view of the United Kingdom and the European Union, an equivalent level of data protection.

To secure payment transactions, Vanity Pass process personal data to determine the level of fraud risk associated with each transaction. On this occasion, Vanity Pass and the Establishments may use the Vanity Pass risk prevention service provider to refine their analysis. Depending on the results of the investigations carried out, Vanity Pass group may take security measures, requesting the Customer to use a different reservation channel or an alternative payment method. These measures will have the effect of suspending the execution of the reservation or, if the result of the analysis does not guarantee the safety of the order, of cancelling it. Fraudulent use of a means of payment leading to payment default may result in the Customer being entered in the Vanity Pass group incident file, which may lead Vanity Pass group to block future payments or carry out additional checks.

The Customer may at any time exercise his rights under the regulations on the protection of personal data. All the information required for this purpose is set out in the "Vanity Pass Privacy Policy”.

16- MISCELLANEOUS

The input of the required bank information and the acceptance of these Terms and the Special Terms and Conditions by electronic means constitute an electronic contract between the Parties which is proof between the Parties of the reservation of the Service and the payment of the sums due upon the execution of said reservation.

The Terms and the applicable Special Conditions constitute the entirety of the obligations of the Parties. No other condition communicated by the Customer may be incorporated herein.

In the event of a contradiction between the Special Conditions and the Terms, the Special Conditions will be the only ones applicable for the obligation concerned. In case of contradiction between, on the one hand, the general terms and conditions, of whatever nature, of a Partner and these Terms, on the other, the stipulations of these Terms will be the only ones applicable to the obligation at issue.

If one or more stipulations of these Terms are deemed to be invalid or declared as such under a law, regulation or following a decision adjudicated by a competent jurisdiction that has become final, any other stipulations shall remain in force to their full extent.

The authentic language is English. If the Terms are translated into a foreign language, the English language will prevail over any other translation in the event of any dispute, litigation, difficulty of interpretation or in the fulfilment of these conditions and, in a more general manner, regarding the relations between the Parties.

The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Vanity Pass may assign these Terms, and all of the rights and obligations attached thereto to any third party without the prior written consent of the Customer. The Customer agrees that such assignment releases Vanity Pass for future deeds. The Customer may not assign the Terms, nor the rights and obligations attached thereto to third parties without the prior written consent of Vanity Pass.

Vanity Pass reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms or other reasons at our discretion. Upon termination, you will lose access to membership benefits and forfeit any unused points. Vanity Pass may also refuse future membership applications from individuals previously terminated.

Vanity Pass may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in our services, policies, or legal obligations. Notification of updates will be posted on the Platform or sent to your registered email address. Continued use of the Platform after changes are effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
