Except as required by law, you agree that we are not obligated to take action in response to any report.

4. Search Ranking

You can search for hotel Accommodations on the Application by using criteria like destination and travel dates. Search results are ranked based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. We use a variety of factors to determine search rankings, including location, category, competitiveness of the hotel’s rates, customer reviews and bookings on HotelTonight, as well as the compensation we earn for listing the hotel on our site and facilitating your booking. We also personalize search results based on your preferences and other data related to your search criteria. In order to continually optimize our service, we may test different ranking algorithms from time to time.

To refine your search results, you can filter by the number of rooms, number of beds, or amenities you’re looking for. You can also sort by top deals, lowest price, or most premium.

5. Content and Reviews

Hotel Content. Suppliers provide us with information about the Accommodations they wish to offer through the Service, including property name, address, amenities, and photos (“Hotel Content”). HotelTonight is not responsible for the accuracy of images or content provided by Suppliers and disclaims all liability for any errors or inaccuracies in Hotel Content. Hotel photos that appear on the Service are representative of the approximate type and standard of the Accommodations offered by the Supplier and should not be construed as guarantees of the Accommodations you will receive.

User Content. Parts of the Service enable you to provide text, photos, Reviews, and other content in connection with your use of the Service or hotel stay (“User Content”). User Content includes communications to our customer service team, as well as feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Service. By providing User Content, in whatever form and through whatever means, you agree that User Content is non-confidential and you grant HotelTonight a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable, and transferable license to copy, modify, prepare derivative works of, distribute, publish, and otherwise exploit that User Content (including the name that you submit in connection with such User Content), without limitation. You are solely responsible for all User Content you provide, and you warrant that you either own it or are authorized to grant us the rights described in these Terms. You are responsible and liable if any of your User Content violates or infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any third party and for any other damages or harm resulting from your submission of User Content.

You agree never to post or transmit to or from the Service:

• Any advertising or other commercial material or content, including company logos, links, or company names;
• Spam, unwanted contact, or content that is shared repeatedly in a disruptive manner;
• Content that endorses or promotes illegal or harmful activity, or that is discriminatory, obscene, sexually explicit, violent, graphic, threatening, harassing, or otherwise offensive;
• Content that is illegal or violates another person’s or entity’s rights, including intellectual property rights and privacy rights; or
• Content that includes another person’s private or confidential information.

We have no obligation to post User Content that you submit, and we reserve the right to remove any User Content, in whole or in part, that violates these Terms.

Guest Reviews. Following a hotel stay booked through the Service, you will have an opportunity to submit a review of your stay at the Accommodation (“Review”). Reviews are not verified by HotelTonight for accuracy, and we claim no affiliation with or endorsement of any photos or Reviews submitted by users. Your Review, including any photos you submit, must be accurate and not contain any discriminatory, offensive, defamatory, or other content prohibited by these Terms. The following types of Reviews are also prohibited:

• Reviews that are biased or exhibit indications of extortion, incentivization, conflicts of interest, or direct competition; and
• Reviews that contain no relevant information about your stay at the Accommodation.

6. Booking Rooms through the Service; Rates, Taxes, and Fees

You should carefully review the description in the Application of the Accommodation you intend to book to ensure you (and any additional guests you are booking for) meet any minimum age or other requirements of the Supplier.

By booking an Accommodation through the Service, you authorize HotelTonight to (i) facilitate the reservation on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with the Supplier, and (ii) charge your payment method for the total reservation price. You agree to pay all charges for your booking, including the nightly room price, applicable taxes and fees, and any other charges identified during checkout in the Application. You are responsible for paying the Supplier directly for any incidentals, room upgrades, resort fees, or other fees due on-site at the hotel, as well as any associated taxes.

You will be charged by HotelTonight in the currency indicated in the Application during check-out for your booking. You can change your preferred currency in your account settings. Some banks and credit card companies may impose currency conversion fees (for example, if you are making a booking in a currency other than the currency of your credit card). Currency exchange rates and conversion fees are determined solely by your bank. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank.

The nightly room price displayed in the Application includes the room rate set by the Supplier and a facilitation fee that we retain as part of the compensation for our services. HotelTonight makes no guarantee that the prices offered by Suppliers through the Service represent (i) the lowest price then available for the same hotel room or (ii) the published price for a hotel room on another website or publication not affiliated with HotelTonight.

Except in jurisdictions where HotelTonight is required to collect and remit applicable taxes on the room rate and/or our facilitation fee, Suppliers offering rooms through the Service are responsible for determining their own tax obligations and remitting applicable taxes to tax authorities. HotelTonight does not operate as a vendor, co-vendor, or agent of the Supplier for tax purposes. Because the taxability of a reservation and applicable tax rates vary by location, the tax amounts we pay to Suppliers may differ from the charge to you for taxes and fees indicated in the Application during check-out (“Taxes and Fees”).

The charge for Taxes and Fees may include: (1) the amount of tax we expect the relevant Supplier will charge; (2) a fee we retain as part of the compensation for our services and to cover the costs of facilitating your reservation, including customer service costs; (3) any marketing destination fees charged by local tourist bureaus; and/or (4) in certain jurisdictions, taxes or government-imposed fees that apply to the amounts we retain as compensation for our services. These charges vary by Supplier location and accommodation type.

Please note that HotelTonight does not issue Value Added Taxes (VAT) invoices to guests for any purchases made through the Service.

7. Hotel Overbooking and Cancellations

If a Supplier is unable to honor your reservation, please contact us immediately. We will do our best to work with you and the hotel to find alternative accommodations, but we do not guarantee that we will be able to rebook your reservation. We may, in our sole discretion, provide HT credits for a booking cancelled or otherwise not honored by a hotel.

Unless otherwise specified during check-out for your booking or otherwise permitted by our policies or terms, reservations made on HotelTonight are non-cancellable and non-refundable. If your reservation is specified during check-out as being cancellable, you may cancel through the Service up until the time and date provided in your confirmation email.If you cancel the booking before that time, the amounts paid or credits used will be refunded to the payment method and HotelTonight account used to make the booking. Any promotional consideration earned on a booking that was cancelled and refunded will be removed from your account upon cancellation. Any refunded amounts will not count toward your qualifying spend under the HT Perks Program.

8. Room Assignments and Check-In

Upon check-in at the hotel, you may be required to present a form of payment acceptable to the Supplier (such as a credit card or cash deposit) to cover additional expenses incurred during your stay. The minimum account balance or amount of available credit may vary by Supplier, and any such deposit is unrelated to any payment received by HotelTonight for your booking. Please confirm these details with the Supplier prior to your travel. You may also be required to present a passport or other valid ID, depending on the jurisdiction.

All rooms booked through HotelTonight can accommodate two guests unless otherwise specified in the hotel’s profile on the Application. You may not exceed the maximum number of allowed guests. Any extra guests are at the Supplier’s discretion and may be subject to additional fees imposed by the Supplier. Unless otherwise specified, no specific room type is guaranteed with your booking. Room assignments are based on availability and are at the Supplier’s discretion. If you have special requests (including bed types, preferences for smoking or non-smoking rooms, a specific room, floor location, pet accommodations, or wheelchair or other accessibility needs), you must contact the Supplier directly to inquire whether special requests can be met. HotelTonight has no control over which room a Supplier will assign to you and cannot guarantee special requests in advance of your booking.

Contact the Supplier if you will be checking in late. If you fail to check in to your Accommodation on the date and time of your reservation, the remaining portion of your reservation with the Supplier may be cancelled, and you will not be entitled to a refund unless your booking was specified during checkout in the Application as cancellable or unless otherwise permitted by our policies or terms.

9. Using the HT Pros Feature

For eligible bookings, we may, in our sole discretion, offer access to the HT Pros digital concierge feature in the Application. If we offer HT Pros for your booking, we may provide personalized recommendations for, or assist you with ordering or reserving, additional products or services offered on-site at the hotel or by a third party outside your hotel. You are responsible for paying the Supplier or third party directly for any products or services you request through HT Pros.

We do not guarantee that we will be able to locate a product or service to meet your request. We also make no guarantee about the price, availability, or quality of any products or services booked or recommended through HT Pros, and you agree that HotelTonight will have no liability related to such products or services. Any terms, conditions, representations, or warranties related to your interaction with such third parties or your use of their products or services are solely between you and those third parties.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to decline to book or request any products or services on your behalf, including alcohol, adult entertainment, illegal products or services, or services from a hotel other than the one you booked through the Service.

HotelTonight is unable to provide emergency assistance through HT Pros. If you have an emergency, please call 911 (in the U.S.) or the emergency services number in the country where you are staying.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

We provide the Service “as is” without warranty of any kind, and we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement and warranties that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Your use of the Service and your contact, interaction, or dealings with any third parties arising out of your use of the Service, including your hotel stay with any Supplier, is solely at your own risk.

Suppliers offering Accommodations through HotelTonight are independent contractors and not agents or employees of HotelTonight. We do not endorse or warrant the performance, safety, quality, legality, or suitability of any hotel Accommodation, and we neither guarantee nor insure the service to be provided by any Supplier. We are not responsible for the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of Suppliers or any other party not under our control, and we assume no liability for any illness, bodily injury (including death), disability, theft, property damage, or other damages or expenses arising from your stay at an Accommodation.

We also do not warrant the performance or non-interruption of the Service or that the Service will be compatible or interoperable with your mobile device or any other hardware, software, or equipment installed on or used in connection with your mobile device.

The disclaimers in these Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you have statutorily required rights or warranties that cannot be disclaimed, the duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Limitations on Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither HotelTonight nor its affiliates or personnel will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (a) these Terms; (b) the use of or inability to use the Service; or (c) booking of an Accommodation, including use of hotel services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not your organization or HotelTonight has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will HotelTonight's aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms, your use of or inability to use the Service, or booking of an Accommodation, including use of hotel services exceed the amounts you have paid HotelTonight for bookings of hotel Accommodations via the Service as a guest in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability, or one hundred dollars (USD $100), if no such payments have been made.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

12. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to release, defend (at HotelTonight’s option), indemnify, and hold HotelTonight (including our affiliates and personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of our Terms, Privacy Policy, or Promotional and Loyalty Program Terms (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply to a product or feature); (ii) your use of the Service; (iii) your stay at a hotel Accommodation, including any injuries, losses, or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential, or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such stay; and (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations, or third party rights, such as intellectual property or privacy rights.

13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement (U.S.)

1. Application: This Arbitration Agreement applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States, or if your country of residence or establishment is not the United States but you attempt to bring a legal claim against HotelTonight in the United States.


2. Overview of Dispute Resolution Process: The Dispute Resolution Process set forth in this Section 13 is a two-step process: (1) an informal negotiation directly with HotelTonight (described in paragraph (c) below), and if necessary (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You and HotelTonight each retain the right to seek relief in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration if the claim you are asserting falls within the jurisdiction of the applicable small claims court.


3. Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification: At least 30 days before initiating arbitration, you and HotelTonight each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing and attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. You must initiate this informal dispute resolution process by mailing your written notice of dispute to our agent for service: CSC Lawyers Incorporating Service, 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive, Suite 150N, Sacramento, California 95833. If we have a dispute with you, we will send our notice of dispute to the email address associated with your HotelTonight account. A notice of dispute must include: the party’s name and preferred contact information, a brief description of the dispute, and the relief sought. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within the 30-day period, only then may either party commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party as specified in the AAA rules (available at www.adr.org).


4. Agreement to Arbitrate: You and HotelTonight mutually agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement, or interpretation of the Terms or this agreement to arbitrate, or any use of the HotelTonight Application or Service (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and HotelTonight agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.


5. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement: You and HotelTonight each agree that the following causes of action and/or claims for relief are not subject to arbitration and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction (as defined by Section 14): (i) any claim or cause of action alleging actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); or (iii) a request for the remedy of public injunctive relief. You and HotelTonight agree that a request for public injunctive relief will proceed in court after the arbitration of all arbitrable claims, remedies, or causes of action is complete, and will therefore be stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration pursuant to section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act.


6. Arbitration Rules and Governing Law: This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and the parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act governs all substantive and procedural interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. In order to initiate arbitration, a completed written demand (available at www.adr.org) must be filed with the AAA and provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA rules.


7. Modification to AAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location: You and HotelTonight agree that any required arbitration may be conducted, at your option: (i) in the U.S. county where you live; (ii) in San Francisco county; (iii) via phone or video conference; or (iv) if all parties agree, solely by the submission of documents to the arbitrator.


8. Modification to AAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs: Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, HotelTonight will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. Either party may make a request that the arbitrator award attorneys’ fees and costs upon proving that the other party has asserted a claim, cross-claim, or defense that is groundless in fact or law, brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment, or is otherwise frivolous, as allowed by applicable law and the AAA Rules.


9. Arbitrator’s Decision: The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any country with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award any relief allowed by law or the AAA Rules, but declaratory or injunctive relief may be awarded only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.


10. Jury Trial Waiver: You and HotelTonight acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.


11. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings: You and HotelTonight acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we each waive the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding against the other party. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy (and only that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy) will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action, or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action, or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action, and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.


12. Severability: Except as provided in Section 13(k), in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect.


13. Changes to Agreement to Arbitrate: If HotelTonight changes this Section 13 after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject that change by sending us written notice (including by email) within 30 days of the date the change is effective. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and HotelTonight (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and HotelTonight.


14. Survival: Except as provided in Section 13(l) and subject to Section 15(d), this Section 13 will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Service or terminate your HotelTonight account.

14. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Legal proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the arbitration agreement in Section 13 must be brought in state or federal court in San Francisco, California, unless we both agree to some other location. You and we both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in San Francisco, CA.

15. General Terms

a. Modification

We may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Application and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. We will also provide you with notice of any material changes by email at least 30 days before the date they become effective. Your continued access to or use of the Service will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms, even if you were not aware of them due to your failure to update to the most recent version of the Application. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Service or ask us to delete your account. You release HotelTonight and its parent, affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any liability for any changes to these Terms which were available but that you were not aware of due to your failure to update to the most recent version of the Application.

b. Notice and Electronic Communications

Unless otherwise specified, any notices or other communications to users permitted or required under these Terms will be provided electronically and given by HotelTonight via email, messaging service (including SMS), notice through the Application, or any other contact method we enable and you provide. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that these communications be in writing.

c. Emails and SMS

You will receive administrative communications from us using the email address or other contact information you provide for your HotelTonight account. Enrollment in additional email subscription programs will not affect the frequency of these administrative emails, though you should expect to receive additional emails specific to the program(s) to which you have subscribed. Electronic communications from us, including emails, may include marketing and promotional content, which you can opt out of receiving as provided in our Privacy Policy. No fee is charged for promotional emails, but third-party data rates could apply.

In the U.S., if you consent to recent SMS (text messages) from us, HotelTonight will not charge you for the text messaging; however, standard message and data rates may apply according to your wireless rate plan. Contact your carrier for pricing plans and details.

d. Entire Agreement; Severability; Survival

Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms, conditions, policies, guidelines, standards, and in-product disclosures, these Terms (including those items incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement between HotelTonight and you pertaining to your access to or use of the Service and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between HotelTonight and you.

If Travelscape, LLC is listed in your booking, Travelscape, LLC terms and conditions will apply in addition to these Terms. These Terms will supersede if there are any conflicts between these Terms and third party terms and conditions.

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon anyone other than you and HotelTonight.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, except as otherwise indicated in Section 13 above, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Parts of these Terms that by their nature survive termination, will survive termination of this agreement.

e. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement or your rights and obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. HotelTonight may without restriction assign, transfer, or delegate this agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion, with 30 days’ prior notice.

f. No Waiver

HotelTonight’s failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. No waiver of any right or provision in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise permitted under law.

g. Third-Party Services

The Application may contain links to third-party websites, applications, services or resources (“Third-Party Services”) that are subject to different terms and privacy practices. HotelTonight is not responsible or liable for any aspect of such Third-Party Services and links to such Third-Party services are not an endorsement.
