2.1.   Scope and Purpose

Access to and use of this Website is governed by these ToU, which define the terms and conditions of use of the Website and the relations between Accor and any person who accesses or browses the Website (the “User”). These ToU are available and can be viewed at any time on the Website. The User can also print or download these ToU.

‎The Website allows the reservation for all types of catering, such as breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and/or afterwork ("Services") in hotel restaurants or other types of restaurants operated under an ACCOR brand (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Establishments"). The Users can also view the menus of the Establishments.

The Services and menus are presented on the Website for information purposes, with a description informing the User of the identity of the Establishment, its postal, telephone and electronic contact details, the essential characteristics of the Services offered and, where applicable, the advantages offered to Users.

The Establishments are ranked by default according to geographical area, close to the city centre of the city selected by the User. Users can view this default ranking or use the filters and other sorting options to influence the presentation of search results, which will then rank according to other criteria.

Accor does not receive any money in the ranking of the Establishments. Moreover, the Establishments have no possibility to influence their ranking.

The essential characteristics, availability dates, price range, options offered, to the booking of the Establishments are presented during the reservation process as described in Article 2.2 below.

In this respect, it is noted that each Establishment has its own special terms and conditions applicable to the selected offer also available on the Website (hereinafter, the "Special Conditions") which are brought to the attention of the User prior to any reservation on the Website. In case of contradiction or inconsistency, the present ToU prevail over the Special Conditions.

Accor will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information and content on the Website is accurate and up to date, but reserves the right to correct and/or modify all or part of the Website and/or the ToU at any time and without notice. Any such changes to the ToU shall take effect on the date posted on the Website and the User’s use of this Website after such changes have been posted will mean that the User accepts and agrees to all such changes. Accor will inform the User of any material changes to these ToU by any means of its choice, including by the display of a banner on the Website.

The applicable ToU are those in effect on the date of browsing the Website. Accordingly, if the User views or browses the Website, the User will be deemed to have read and accepted the ToU in effect and to have agreed to abide by them. If the User do not accept these ToU or any part of them, he/she shall not use or browse the Website.


 2.2.   Reservation Process

The User chooses any Service presented on the Website by following the process provided for this purpose. The reservation process varies according to the User path and request; it includes the following steps:

  • Step 1: the input of search criteria for a destination and an Establishment;
  • Step 2: the results and selection of an Establishment;
  • Step 3: the details and characteristics of the Service selected (number of people, date, Service, time);
  • Step 4: the summary of the Service reservation and the indication by the User of his/her contact information: either through identification by means of an existing account, or by filling in all of the mandatory fields indicated with the possibility of logging in via the ALL-Accor Live Limitless customer account
  • Step 5: the acceptance of the reservation of the Services by Accor and the Establishment concerned, by: (i) filling in of the data of the User means of payment, either in the case of pre-payment of the reservation, total, before the confirmation of the Service, or in the case of a request for a guarantee of the reservation of the Services and/or (ii) the consultation and the acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions and of the Special Terms and Conditions relating to the reservation before it is validated by the User;
  • Step 6: an email confirming the reservation of the Service(s) is sent to the User summarising the Service reserved, the date of the reservation made.

No payment will be required on the Website to make the reservation. If the User does not honour the reservation (i.e. if the User does not arrive at the reserved time), the Establishment reserves the right to cancel the reservation and to offer the table originally reserved to other customers, without any compensation, on any grounds whatsoever, being granted to the User.


2.3 Prices

Where applicable, the prices related to the reservation of the Services are indicated before, during and after the reservation.

When confirming the reservation of a Service, the total price is indicated to the User 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 for the period indicated on the Website.

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 User. Note that if a conversion of the currency confirmed on the reservation into another currency appears on the Website, 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 the Service at the Establishment.

The prices take account of the VAT applicable on the day of the reservation and any change of the applicable VAT rate 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.

 

2.4 Payment

 

2.4.1 General provisions

The User provides his/her payment information (i) to pre-pay for the reservation of the Service, (ii) 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 credit card: the credit 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 the execution of the Service) and the security code as part of a pre-payment on the payment platforms mentioned below.

ACCOR has chosen RESDIARY as its service provider, which itself has chosen Stripe to secure online payments by bank card. The credit card of the User 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 User will have to approach his/her bank and the Establishment or any other entity to confirm his/her reservation of the Service and payment method.

The online payment methods (cards, wallet, etc.) available and mentioned on the payment page of the Website are 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 User must present the credit card to the Establishment that they used to guarantee the reservation or make the pre-payment. The Establishment may also ask the User to present an identification document for the purpose of credit card fraud prevention.

The User must expressly request the invoice from the Establishment concerned in the event of a debit for a reservation not honoured.

2.4.2 Prepayment

Prepayment means any payment made at the time of reservation by the User.

At the time of pre-payment, the amount that is debited at the time of reservation of the Service includes the total amount indicated at the time of reservation (including all applicable taxes).

2.4.3 Bank guarantee

The guarantee of the reservation by credit card means any collection of the User's payment details at the time of reservation. The User's credit card is not debited and the payment for the meal is made directly to the Establishment on the day of the Service, unless the User does not show up at the Establishment and has not previously cancelled the reservation in accordance with the Establishment's cancellation policy.

2.4.4 No-show of the User

If the User does not show up on the day of the reservation, the User's reservation will be cancelled in full:

  • In the event that the reservation that is the subject of a no-show is a non-cancellable and/or non-refundable reservation, the Establishment will retain, as a deposit within the meaning of Articles 1590 of the French Civil Code and L 214-1 of the French Consumer Code in their current versions, the total amount paid by the User at the time of the reservation.
  • In the event that the reservation that is the subject of a no-show is a cancelable and/or refundable reservation guaranteed by credit card, the Establishment will debit the credit card provided at the time of the reservation for the amount including tax indicated at the time of the reservation. The User will not be entitled to any refund or compensation.

At the time of prepayment of a non-cancellable/non-refundable reservation, the deposit amount that is debited includes the total amount indicated at the time of the reservation.


2.5.   Promotional offers proposed by the Establishments listed on the Website

The Website allows the User, if and only if he/she books through the Website, to benefit from promotional offers proposed by the Establishments listed on the Website.
