By doing so, you confirm that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older.

You also confirm that you are legally authorized to make any Transaction (as defined below), including in respect of any reservation, for either yourself or for another person for whom you are authorized to act. You may only use this Site to make legitimate Transactions (as defined below) and shall not use this Site for any other purposes, including without limitation, to make any speculative, false, or fraudulent reservations, or any reservation in anticipation of demand.

We reserve the right to cancel or modify any Transaction (as defined below), including in respect of any reservation, where it appears that a customer has engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity or under other circumstances where it appears that the Transaction (as defined below) contains or resulted from a mistake or error, or from an attempt to circumvent our or the hotel policies, terms, or conditions.

You understand that overuse or abuse of the reservation facilities of this Site may result in you being denied access to such facilities. Some rates have special eligibility requirements. It is your responsibility to verify that you qualify for the rate that you have booked. Our hotel staff are not obligated to honor rates if you do not qualify.

Any use of the Site is at your own risk, and you must comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in doing so. We may limit the Site’s availability at any time, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction that we choose.

2. TRANSACTIONS

We may advertise “Products” (being, collectively, our goods (i.e., physical things you can move) or services or related coupons or discounts, including any reservations at our hotels and restaurants) that are available to order or book through the Site, when you visit us, or which we may inform you about when you call us. When you order any Product (each, a “Transaction”), our contract with you will be formed according to the following process.

2.1 PLACING YOUR ORDER

We will advise you of the cost of your Transaction at the time at which you place your order, including any applicable booking fees. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or on your behalf at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred, including all shipping and handling charges.  You are responsible for any taxes applicable to your Transactions. Where relevant, we will inform you of any shipping costs and an estimation of the relevant delivery date at the time of your order.

If you wish to make a Transaction, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as your credit card number and its expiration date, your billing address, and (where relevant) your shipping information. You confirm that you have the right to use any payment card that you submit in connection with a Transaction. By submitting , information to us, you grant us the right to provide the information to third parties for purposes of facilitating Transactions, such as to process your payment. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment, acceptance, or completion of any Transaction.

By making a Transaction, you confirm that the applicable Products will be used only in a lawful manner.

2.2 HOW WE WILL ACCEPT YOUR ORDER

Where you make a Transaction, our acceptance of the Transaction will take place when you receive email confirmation that your Transaction has been accepted (either from us or, if you book or place your order through a third party, from the third party), at which point the contract between us will become effective.

2.3 IF WE CANNOT ACCEPT YOUR ORDER

There may be some instances where we are unable to accept your order, such as where the subject of your reservation is no longer available, the relevant Product is now out of stock, we have identified a pricing or product description error, or you are in breach of these Terms (or any other agreement with us). We will inform you via email in the event that we are not able to accept your order as soon as possible.

2.4 PROCESSING PAYMENT

When you make a reservation to stay with us, we will take your payment details at the time of booking and then will require payment at check-in (or in respect of any of our restaurants, at the end of your meal), unless pre-payment is required in accordance with any specific booking or payment terms that are made available/notified to you when you seek to make a Transaction.

When you visit one of our restaurants, we will take payment at the end of your meal, unless you are staying with us, in which case we may, at our election, allow you to add the meal to your room’s account.

While staying with us, you may purchase items from the minibar located in your room, in which case we will add the value of such items to the account associated with your room according to the price list provided in your room. We will then take payment for such items at check-out.

When you order any other Product (e.g., our branded products), we will take payment at the point of order (if online) or sale (if in person).

3. PRODUCTS AND RESERVATIONS

The Site may make available listings, descriptions, and images of the Products, as well as references and links to third party product.

3.1 OUR PRODUCTS

Please note that certain images, weights, measures, and similar descriptions that we provide in relation to our hotel (e.g., our rooms and common areas) and our other Products are approximate and are for convenience only. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of our Products, including indicative rooms at our hotel and colors in which our goods are available, however the actual colors you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors.

3.2 THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS

The availability through the Site of any listing, description or image of a third party product does not imply our endorsement of such product or affiliation with the provider of such product. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of such listings, descriptions or images (including any features, specifications and prices contained therein). Please note that where you may go on to purchase a third party product, your contract is with the relevant third party and you should review the third party’s relevant terms and conditions.

4. SHIPPING

Where you have made a Transaction for a Product that needs to be shipped, the Product will be shipped to the address designated by you, so long as the address is valid, complete and complies with the shipping restrictions contained on the Site.

If shipping is delayed by an event outside our reasonable control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take reasonable steps to minimize the delay, in which case, we will not be liable to you for the delay; however, if there is a significant delay, you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Products that you have not received. We will not be liable for any delay if you provide us with incorrect information.

All Transactions which require Products to be shipped are made pursuant to a shipment contract and, as a result, you are responsible for ensuring that you or someone acting on your behalf is present at your chosen address at the time of delivery that is provided to you and/or rearranging delivery with the shipping company. If you fail to re-arrange delivery, we reserve our rights to (i) charge you for any additional costs we incur to store your ordered Product and (ii) end your contract. Responsibility for any Product that is shipped passes to you upon delivery of the Product to your chosen address and you will own the Product once it is delivered to you.

5. HOTEL RESERVATIONS

When you make a reservation to stay with us, you agree to the conditions at the time of your reservation and for the duration of your stay.

We reserve our rights to take any further action and may require you to make immediate re-payment of any costs and/or losses we may incur, deduct any such costs and/or losses from any payment details we hold in connection with your reservation or instruct a third party to recover our reasonable costs. We will send an appropriate breakdown of any such costs to the address provided in connection with your reservation.

5.2 CHECK-IN AND CHECK OUT

At check-out you will be required to pay for any additional charges you have incurred during your stay, including (where applicable) any room service, minibar charges and meals in our restaurant for which you have not already paid. If charges you incur during your stay are not reflected at the time of check-out (for example, if you need to check-out very early in the morning and wish to pay the night before), we will deduct payment for these charges from the payment method you provided at booking within two days.

5.3 RELOCATION

If the type of room you have booked is unavailable (except where due to an event outside our reasonable control – see Section 23.9) on your arrival, we shall either:

(b) arrange a reasonably equivalent room for you in a third party hotel and pay your reasonable costs of transport to that hotel and any reasonable additional cost of such room; or

(c) at your request or where, in our reasonable opinion, we are unable to find a suitable alternative, cancel your reservation and refund you any money you have already paid.

Please note that where we provide you with alternative accommodation, you shall have no right to receive a refund for any sums paid.

If you make one or more reservations to stay at our hotel for a period of twenty eight (28) concurrent days, we may require you to move rooms. If you refuse to do so, we may terminate your reservation and refund any sums you have paid for any unused portion of your reservation.

6. YOUR RIGHT TO MAKE CHANGES

If you do not agree with the new version of these Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Site or make any new Transaction.

We may, at any time and without liability, modify or discontinue all or part of the Site (including access to the Site via any third-party links); charge, modify or waive any fees required to use the Site; or offer opportunities to some or all Site users.

7.3 PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO AN ORDER

If you have not yet paid us in full for a Product and the applicable sales tax changes between the date of your order and date of payment, we reserve the right to adjust the sales tax that you pay.

Minor changes

If, in accordance with Section 2, we have already accepted your order and we have not fulfilled such order at the time of updating these Terms, we reserve the right to make certain minor adjustments to the Product and/or these Terms. These minor changes may include, by way of example, where we are required to do so by a change in applicable law or regulation or if we are renovating a certain part of the hotel. For example, we may need to update the room you have chosen in connection with a renovation or due to a change in health and safety law, or change or replace a Product you have ordered in connection with product liability regulation.

Substantive changes

In certain circumstances we may need to make more substantive changes to these Terms, your Product-specific terms and/or the Products you have ordered. If such a change is required, we will notify you of the relevant change and a reasonable period during which you can object to such change. If you notify us of your objection prior to the end of this period, you may elect to end the contract before the relevant changes take effect and receive a refund of any payments you have already made for any Transaction (or part thereof, as applicable) that has not been fulfilled.

8. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

If you wish to end your contract, please contact us at info@hotel1928.com.

If you wish us to replace a faulty Product, you must return it to us (where applicable) at our cost.

If you notify us within this period, you may receive a refund (provided (where applicable) that you return any ordered good(s) to us at your cost). Please note that we may be able to retain some or all of the sums you have paid to us for your ordered good(s) to cover our reasonable costs. If you wish to cancel your order within this period (except in the case of a reservation – see below), please contact us on the email above.

In such circumstances, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and (where applicable) require the return of any Products you have received.

10. REFUNDS

Where you are entitled to a refund of some or all of the sums you have paid for any Product, we will refund such sums via your original payment method within fourteen (14) days of the date on which your Product is cancelled (subject to local regulations).

You agree that these Terms, including this “Dispute Resolution Section”, affect interstate commerce and are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

This Dispute Resolution Section applies broadly to any dispute, claim or controversy (“Dispute“) between you and the Company arising out of or relating to your use of this Site, these Terms, the Privacy Policy, other applicable company terms or policies, and any aspect of your relationship with us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory. Dispute shall be interpreted broadly. Dispute shall also include any dispute, claim, or controversy that arose before you assented to these Terms or after termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dispute shall not include disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Services. You or the Company may seek interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction as needed to protect the status quo pending completion of arbitration.

20.1 MANDATORY INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS

We hope that no Disputes arise between you and the Company, and we are committed to working with you to resolve any Dispute that does arise. To that end, both Parties agree that we will make a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days before proceeding in arbitration or court pursuant to this “Informal Dispute Resolution Process.” You and the Company agree to give the other notice of the Dispute, by providing a written “Notice of Dispute” that is personally signed by you (if you are initiating the Notice of Dispute) or a Company representative (if we are initiating the Notice of Dispute). The Notice of Dispute must contain the following information: (1) the initiating Party’s name, address, telephone number, and email address, and account information, if applicable; (2) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (3) the specific relief sought. You must send any such Notice of Dispute to the Company by email to legal@hotel1928.com. We must send any such Notice of Dispute to you at the email address we have on file for you, if we have one; if we do not have an email address on file for you, you agree that we may attempt to reach you through other reasonable means. You and the Company agree to use their best efforts to settle any Dispute informally, for a sixty (60) day period from the date that a completed Notice of Dispute is received (or longer, if agreed by both Parties). If the party receiving the Notice of Dispute requests a telephone settlement conference as part of this informal process, you and the Company agree to participate in an effort to resolve the Dispute. Should the Company make this request, you agree to attend this conference (with your counsel, if you are represented). Should you make the request, the Company agrees to have a representative attend this conference (with counsel, if the Company is represented).

You and the Company agree that neither Party may initiate arbitration or litigation without first attempting to resolve the Dispute informally through this Informal Dispute Resolution Process, that adhering to the Informal Dispute Resolution Process is a condition precedent to arbitration or litigation, and that this requirement can be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any applicable limitations period (including the statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while you and the Company engage in this Informal Dispute Resolution Process.

20.2 SMALL CLAIMS COURT

Any Dispute that falls within the jurisdictional scope and limits of the small claims court where you reside may be brought in that court on an individual basis. Any Dispute filed in small claims court must remain in small claims court and may not be removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.

20.3 MANDATORY ARBITRATION

The Company believes that Disputes are most effectively and efficiently resolved on an individual basis through arbitration. BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION, ANY INDIVIDUALIZED DISPUTE THAT IS NOT RESOLVED THROUGH THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE OF THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION (“MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE”).

THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THEY MAY NOT FILE A CLAIM AS PART OF A MASS ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATION PROVIDER SHALL PROMPTLY REJECT OR TERMINATE ANY MASS ARBITRATION CLAIM EITHER YOU OR THE COMPANY FILES AGAINST THE OTHER. THE PARTY AGAINST WHOM THE MASS ARBITRATION WAS FILED SHALL HAVE A RIGHT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AND SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER THEIR ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS FOR SUCH ENFORCEMENT.

As used in the Mandatory Arbitration Clause, “Mass Arbitration” is defined as twenty-five (25) or more similar claims asserted against the Company by the same or coordinated attorney(s) or law firm(s), or that are otherwise coordinated.

The arbitration shall be administered by AAA pursuant to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“AAA Commercial Rules”), and other applicable rules, including without limitation, the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Consumer Rules”), as modified by these Terms. The AAA Commercial Rules and AAA Consumer Rules are available at: adr.org. The arbitration will be heard by a single, neutral arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) selected pursuant to the AAA Rules, as modified by these Terms. If AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with these Terms, the parties shall agree on an alternative provider that will do so. If the parties cannot agree, they shall jointly petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration provider that will do so.

Arbitration will be held in the county in which you reside. If AAA is unable to administer the arbitration in the county or parish in which you reside, the arbitration shall be administered by another provider selected by agreement of the Parties or a court, consistent with these Terms.

You and the Company’s representative shall personally appear at any hearing ordered by the arbitrator (along with your and the Company’s counsel, if represented). For claims of more than $25,000 (and for claims seeking individualized injunctive, equitable, or declaratory relief that are not brought in small claims court as set forth above), a telephone, virtual, or in-person hearing shall be held, and you and the Company’s representative shall personally appear (along with your and the Company’s counsel, if represented). Each party reserves the right to request a telephonic, video, or in-person hearing from the Arbitrator. The parties can agree to waive a hearing.

The party seeking to initiate arbitration must send the other party a “Demand for Arbitration” pursuant to the AAA Commercial Rules, any other applicable AAA rules,] and this Mandatory Arbitration Clause. If you are initiating arbitration, you shall serve the Demand for Arbitration on the Company by email to legal@hotel1928.com. If we are initiating arbitration against you, we will serve the Demand for Arbitration on you by email to the email address we have on file for you or to the email address you identified during the Informal Dispute Resolution Process.

By signing and serving the Notice of Intent to Arbitrate, that party (and their counsel, if represented) certifies that they have complied with (1) the Informal Dispute Resolution Process and (2) the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including that the claims and relief sought are neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The Arbitrator is authorized to award any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or applicable federal or state law against all appropriate persons (including counsel) as a court would.

You and the Company agree that arbitration is designed to be cost-effective for all parties. The arbitration fees are governed by AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures Administrative Fee Schedule (“Commercial Fee Schedule”) or Consumer Arbitration Rules Costs of Arbitration (“Consumer Fee Schedule”), as applicable, as modified by these Terms. AAA’s Commercial Fee Schedule and Consumer Fee Schedule are available at adr.org. You agree that if you initiate the arbitration, you will pay your filing fee. The Company agrees to pay its filing fee. If the Company initiates the arbitration, it will pay all fees.

All issues in any Dispute are for the Arbitrator to decide, including issues related to the scope or enforceability of the Mandatory Arbitration Clause, except the following, which are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide: (1) any issues that are specifically reserved for a court in these Terms; (2) any and all disputes arising out of or relating to the enforceability of the Mass Arbitration Sub-Clause; and (3) whether a set of claims constitute a Mass Arbitration or whether one or more claims are part of a Mass Arbitration, as defined in these Terms. The Parties understand and agree that their individualized Dispute will be decided by an Arbitrator, not a judge or jury, unless these Terms explicitly provide otherwise.

THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND THAT THEY MAY NOT ARBITRATE ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS OR ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT ON BEHALF OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, UNLESS DOING SO AS A PARENT, GUARDIAN, OR WARD OF A MINOR OR IN ANOTHER SIMILAR CAPACITY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO CANNOT OTHERWISE BRING THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.

The Arbitrator may award relief, including, but not limited to, monetary, declaratory, injunctive, or other equitable relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The Arbitrator must follow these Terms, including this Mandatory Arbitration Clause, and can award the same individualized damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief necessary to provide relief as to the individualized claim.

The arbitrator shall apply the cost-shifting provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of an award. If the claimant in a Dispute rejects a formal settlement offer or offer of judgment and prevails but does not obtain an award that is more favorable than the offer, the claimant shall be liable for costs incurred by the respondent after the offer of judgment was made.

The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall briefly set forth the essential findings of fact and legal analysis. A judgment to enforce the award may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, however, any award that has been satisfied may not be filed or entered in court. The decision of the arbitrator shall have no preclusive effect in any proceeding involving non-identical parties.

THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT ARBITRATION MEANS THAT AN ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY WILL DECIDE THE CLAIM, AND THAT THEIR RIGHTS TO PREHEARING EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION AND APPEAL MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. BOTH PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE PARTIES ALSO AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD, INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS, OR DECISION NOT TO GRANT ANY RELIEF, SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING, AND MAY NOT BE APPEALED, UNLESS THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING.

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, ALL ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONFIDENTIAL AND CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AND ANY PARTIES OTHER THAN YOU AND THE COMPANY.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE. You may opt out of this Mandatory Arbitration Clause in its entirety by sending the Company a personally signed, written notice of your decision to opt out of those changes by email to legal@hotel1928.com within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of any version of these Terms updated on or after 1 November 2023 and include your full name and your mailing address, telephone number, and email address, a description of when and how you interacted with the Company, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this Mandatory Arbitration Clause. Your opt out must be sent by you personally, and not by your agent, attorney, or anyone else purporting to act on your behalf. YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO TIMELY OPT-OUT, YOU ARE REJECTING THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE AS A WHOLE AND MUST BRING YOUR CLAIM IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH YOU RESIDE. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THE REST OF THESE TERMS. Your failure to timely opt out of this Mandatory Arbitration Clause shall constitute mutual acceptance of the terms of Mandatory Arbitration Clause by you and the Company.

20.4 MASS ARBITRATION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A MASS ARBITRATION AS DEFINED HEREIN, AND THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM AND/OR CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

As used in this “Mass Arbitration Sub-Clause,” the term “Mass Arbitration” is defined as twenty-five (25) or more similar claims asserted against the Company by the same or coordinated attorney(s) or law firm(s), or that are otherwise coordinated. The term “Mass Arbitration Claim” is defined as any claim between the Parties that is part of a Mass Arbitration.

The Company strongly believes that Mass Arbitration is an inefficient and ineffective way to resolve Disputes. You and the Company understand and agree that Disputes may not be resolved through Mass Arbitration under any circumstances. All Mass Arbitration Claims must be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction. You understand and agree that if you wish to arbitrate your claim, you must select counsel, if any, who are not involved in a Mass Arbitration against the Company.

A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to determine whether a set of claims constitute a Mass Arbitration or whether one or more claims constitute Mass Arbitration Claims, as defined in this Mass Arbitration Sub-Clause. The Court shall strictly construe and apply the definitions of Mass Arbitration and Mass Arbitration Claim set forth in this Mass Arbitration Sub-Clause. THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS SHALL BE TOLLED WHILE THE COURT MAKES EITHER OR BOTH OF THESE DETERMINATIONS. You may pursue your Mass Arbitration Claim in a court of competent jurisdiction, whether or not a court has found that your claim constitutes a Mass Arbitration Claim.

IF YOU FILE A MASS ARBITRATION CLAIM, YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMPANY’S ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS RESULTING FROM THE IMPROPER ARBITRATION. A RESPONDENT TO A MASS ARBITRATION SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RECOVER ITS ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION

IF THIS MASS ARBITRATION SUB-CLAUSE IS DETERMINED TO BE UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THE ENTIRE MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE IS UNENFORCEABLE AND YOUR CLAIM MUST BE LITIGATED IN COURT, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER SEVERABILITY OR OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS.
