You acknowledge that IBC may choose to provide attribution of your comments or reviews (for example, listing your name and hometown on a hotel review that you submit) at our discretion, and that such submissions may be shared with our supplier partners. You further grant IBC the right to pursue at law any person or entity that violates your or IBC rights in the Submissions by a breach of these Terms of Use. You acknowledge and agree that Submissions are non-confidential and non-proprietary. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any submissions, (specifically including, but not limited to, reviews posted to this website). If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please do not provide us with any Submissions. You are fully responsible for the content of your Submissions, (specifically including, but not limited to, reviews posted to this website).

Some IBC affiliate sites use translate or currency tools made available on this website to enable you to translate content and convert currencies. The translate tools typically use an automated process to translate text and approximate rates and this may result in inaccuracies. Your use of the Translate and Currency tool is entirely at your own risk. IBC Hotels does not warrant or make any promises, assurances or guarantees as to the accuracy or completeness of the translations or currency exchanges provided by translation tools on the website.

9.    Prepaid Hotel Reservations

1. You acknowledge that IBC pre-negotiate certain room rates with the hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of reservations on your behalf. You also acknowledge that IBC provide you services to facilitate such booking of reservations for a consideration (the “facilitation fee or credit card fee”). The room rate displayed on the website is a combination of the pre-negotiated room rate for rooms reserved on your behalf by IBC and the facilitation/credit card fee retained by IBC for their services. You authorize IBC to book reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate displayed on the website, plus tax recover charges, service fees, and where applicable taxes on IBC’s services. You agree that your credit card will be charged by IBC for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize IBC to facilitate hotel reservation on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers. Hotel suppliers are subject to ACH/Wire fees if any.
2. Some hotels prefer a guaranteed (GTD) “Split” reservation whereby a deposit equal to the agreed upon commission percentage is gathered at the time of booking and the balance is paid upon check-in by the guest to the hotel.
3. You acknowledge that except as provided below with respect to tax obligations on the amounts we retain for our services, IBC do not collect taxes for remittance to applicable taxing authorities. The tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel transactions are a recovery of the estimated taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, etc.) that IBC pay to the hotel supplier for taxes due on the hotel’s rental rate for the room. The hotel suppliers invoice IBC for the tax amounts. The hotel suppliers are responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. None of IBC act as co-vendors with the supplier with whom we book or reserve our customer’s travel arrangements. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. The actual tax amounts paid by IBC to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending on the rates, taxability, etc. in effect at the time of actual use of the hotel by our customers. We retain service fees as additional compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Service fees retained by IBC for their services vary based on the amount and type of hotel reservation.

 

10.    Cancellations, Modifications and Penalties

You may cancel or modify your reservation at any time prior to the set date of check-in and arrival, however you may be charged a cancellation or modification fee indicated in the Terms and Conditions for the hotels stated period of time for which your reservation was placed. You may be charged by IBC in the event your cancellation and/or modification occurred within 24 hours to the reserved check-in date of arrival and the hotel policy does not state a time extended beyond 24 hours for allowance of cancellations and/or modification. If you do not cancel or modify your reservation before the non-penalized period stated by the Hotel and/or IBC, you will be subject to a charge equal to applicable nightly rate, tax recovery charges and service fees for an amount stated by the Member and/or IBC. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation modification with us no later than the date of the first night of your reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation and indicated as a “No-Show”. In the event of a no-show, you are then subject to a charge equal to the total booked amount in which you agree to pay in full. A no-show is stated when a guest does not show up for the reservations date of check-in and does not notify the property on or prior to the first day of arrival. You agree to pay any and all cancellation or modification fees that you incur. You agree to waive any dispute or reversal of a charged amount that IBC processed and/or charged through a banking entity. In limited cases, some hotels do not permit modifications or cancellations of reservation after they are made as indicated in the Terms and Conditions for the hotel a reservation is placed upon. You agree to abide by the Terms of Use imposed by these terms and conditions. You may not book more than 10 rooms online for the same hotel/stay dates. If we determine that you have booked more than 10 rooms in total in separate reservations, we may cancel your reservations, and charge you a cancellation fee, if applicable.

11.    International Travel

You are responsible for ensuring that you meet foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order and any other foreign entry requirements are met. IBC has no special knowledge regarding foreign entry requirements or travel documents. We urge customers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the relevant governments prior to booking travel to international destinations.

Passport and Visa: You must consult the relevant Embassy or Consulate for this information. Requirements may change, and you should check for up-to-date information before booking and departure. We accept no liability if you are refused entry onto a flight or into any country due to your failure to carry the correct and adequate passport, visa, or other travel documents required by any airline, authority, or country, including countries you may just be transiting through. This includes all stops made by the aircraft, even if you do not leave the aircraft or airport.
