The purpose of this document is to regulate the general booking terms and conditions for the Pre-Booking and Online Booking services (hereafter, and interchangeably, the PreBooking and Online Booking services, or the services) of Meli&aacute; Hotels International S.A. (previously Sol Meli&aacute;, S.A.), with registered company address in Palma de Mallorca, no.24 Calle Gremio Toneleros, set up through a public deed executed before the Notary of Palma de Mallorca Mr Eduardo Mart&iacute;nez-Pi&ntilde;eiro Caram&eacute;s, on 24 June 1986 and registered in the Trade Registry of Mallorca, in Volume 1335, Folio 112, Sheet PM-22603 and Tax Number A-78304516 (hereafter Meli&aacute; or MHI, interchangeably), Tel 971 224 400.

Introduction

2.1. Pre-Booking Services

The online pre-booking services are merely used to offer information, and their sole purpose is to provide the user with the chance to consult the availability of rooms at the hotel or in the city of their preference, or that they are interested in.

2.2. Online Booking Services

a. The purpose of the Online Booking services is to book the rooms that the User would like in any of the hotels belonging to the Meli&aacute; chain. The use of theses online booking services constitutes a contract between the parties with full acceptance and no reservations from the user in relation to each of the general terms and conditions that regulate its use, without it being necessary or a request of the parties to have a written transcription.

b. Booking procedure: Once the booking has been made through the website, the user will receive and email to confirm their booking. For MHI, the only binding bookings are those which are confirmed via receipt of the aforementioned email by the user and under the terms outlined in said email.&nbsp;The user must verify the data outlined in the booking confirmation and notify MHI of any possible errors noticed (at the email address outlined in point 5 of these conditions), within twenty-four hours following receipt and in writing. Otherwise, they will be considered to have accepted the terms and conditions of the booking outlined in the confirmation email.

c. Guarantee: Once the confirmation email has been received and the User has not made any remarks within the outlined time frame, the booking stands and is guaranteed via payment with the credit card given when they make their booking up until arrival at the hotel.

d. Termination of the contract or cancellation of the booking: The credit card only serves as a guarantee. The cancellation of bookings by the user will not result in advance cancellation costs, provided that the cancellation is made before the time listed as the deadline in each country (local hotel time) on the arrival date.

Following this deadline, MHI will charge cancellation costs by way of compensation, amounting to the total of the first night (VAT and fees included). If you would like to make a change or cancel your booking, you should do so before the arrival date outlined in the original booking, specified in the particular conditions of your selected rate or offer. Otherwise, the corresponding specified charges will be applied.

This clause is not valid for bookings made with special rates. In this case, the respective 
conditions outlined will be applied.

The deadline for arriving at the hotel in each country is that which is outlined on the booking 
made and which will appear at the time of bookings, as well as in the booking confirmation 
email.

5.2 MHI is not required to control and does not control in advance, the absence of viruses or elements within content that could lead to changes in the software or hardware of users or people that visit the website, therefore it will not be held liable for any kind of loss or damage that may result from what is outlined above.
