While Nuitée undertakes to ensure that User requested room type and smoking preference is available, Nuitée can't guarantee the actual bedding makeup of the room. These special requests are sent to hotels and are subject to hotel's availability at the moment of the booking.
Nuitée will try to provide the room type(s) booked however, there may be occasions when instead of a double-bedded room a twin may be allocated or a double-bedded room instead of a twin. Please be aware that the majority of European hotels provide two (2) single beds pushed together to make a Double bed. While all room type preferences are forwarded to the hotel, room allocation is done by the hotel and is subject to availability at the time of check in.
Special Requests
Specific room types, smoking preferences and bedding types for double/twin rooms can't be guaranteed and are subject to availability at the time of check in. It is always guaranteed that the room provided by the hotel will accommodate the number of End-consumer(s) booked.

Early Checkout
Early checkout related refund demands should be accompanied with hotel issued early checkout permission. However, the early checkout permission itself does not guarantee any refund, and the refund may be claimed only, if and when, our partner/hotel does not invoice Nuitée.
Hotel Categories/ Local Classification and Star (*) Ratings
Star ratings give a general overview of the quality of the hotel and approximate level of facilities, services and amenities available. However, this rating system does vary from country to country. For example: 5* in a Paris hotel might not be the same standard as a 5* hotel in Berlin. Nuitée are not responsible for the hotel categories and star (*) ratings as these have been provided to us and accepted in good faith.

Rates might change to reflect exchange rate fluctuations up until the booking is fully paid, for bookings that are made in currencies other than EUR, USD and GBP. Once the booking is fully paid, there will be no more changes.

Without prejudice to the right of the User to appeal a reported Chargeback with the acquiring bank, User explicitly agrees to accept any such reported reversed payment, penalties and/or other fees and expenses reported by Nuitée and/or its affiliated acquiring entity, provided that Nuitée notifies the User of any such chargeback, penalty or other fee or expense. For the avoidance of doubt, Nuitée has no liability whatsoever and will not refund any payment to your credit card, debit card or your account.
Upon notification of a Chargeback, User may initiate a challenge to the Chargeback by forwarding all transaction information to Nuitée within permitted time period by e-mail (e.g. signed order form to provide proof of the cardholder's authorisation of the transaction). Upon receipt, Nuitée will forward this information to the acquiring bank. Chargeback case will be finalised subject to the International Card Regulations (Visa, Mastercard, Amex etc) between Issuer Bank and Acquirer Bank which, will make the final decision of the case.
In order to protect Nuitée against any form of fraud, unauthorised use of the Services or prohibited activities, including, but not limited to misuse of an Agency Account ID, Nuitée will have the right to immediately modify and/or suspend some or all of the provision of Services to User by written notice. Nuitée shall use this right of modification and/or suspension of the Services in good faith, with restraint, and when any one or more of the following occurs:
* Number of Chargebacks is affecting the reputation of Nuitée;
* Nuitée reasonably suspects or has evidence that fraud is or may be occurring;
* Nuitée reasonably determines that the User is willfully dishonest, fraudulent and/or engages in misconduct with respect to its business or affairs;

A law, rule, banking regulation including, but not limited to, currency restriction from local and/or central banks mandates modification, suspension or termination of the Services.
Acting as a booking agent we are unable to accept liability for illness or personal injury, theft or damages arising from your customer's stay in the accommodation booked on behalf of the customers, unless as a direct result of the negligence of nuitee.com. Whilst nuitee.com will provide the utmost assistance if the above does occur, we are in no way liable and any claim for damages for the above should be made directly to the accommodation provider, and will be under the jurisdiction of the law of the country in which the accommodation is located.
Important
Our company name will appear as Nuitée Travel Limited on User card statement. If a Nuitée Affiliate has used its User credit card to make the hotel booking then, it is the responsibility of Nuitée's Affiliate to inform its Customer of this important information in order to avoid any misunderstandings.
Nuitée reserves the right to correct any pricing or displayed errors and/or omissions. This includes errors and/or omissions, which have been entered by a hotelier or local agent. In the event of a price error and/or omission, we will offer the choice of either keeping the booking at the correct rates, cancelling the booking or subject to availability, we'll offer a suitable alternate hotel.
Local Market Rates
Not all of the hotel rates displayed on Nuitée website are applicable for the local market. In addition, some other markets may be affected and in such cases the hotel is within their rights to change the rates without prior notice. User agrees that Passenger nationality declaration is mandatory and must be determined by selecting “Nationality” at the time of booking. This information must be in accordance with the Passenger passport. False declaration of Passenger nationality may cause consequences for which Nuitée cannot be held liable. If User doesn't change Passenger's Nationality, User's nationality will be taken as Passenger nationality by default. In case, any financial damage occurs due to false nationality declaration, it will be covered by the User towards customers.
Resort and International Transaction Fees
The majority of credit card providers charge some sort of an international transaction fee. This fee is passed on by certain credit card providers because, the charge for the booking has been processed outside of the country that you reside in. Please note that this charge has not been passed on by Nuitée and that Nuitée cannot be held responsible for any international transaction charges passed on to the User or End-consumer's credit card issuer.
Some hotels, particularly in the U.S. do charge a “resort fee” which must be paid to the hotel directly. This is typically in the range of $10.00 to $20.00 per room and per night. Nuitée is not responsible for resort fees charges and has no control over their implementation.
Additional & Incidental Charges
Hotels may impose additional or incidental charges to the Customers such as; air conditioning, safe, mini fridge, rental television, remote control, etc. should read over which Nuitee has no control or accepts any responsibility. Any such charges must be paid directly to the hotel. Likewise, Nuitée has no control over any fees that a hotel may pass on for luggage storage, sauna, spa, swimming pool use, car parking fees, food and beverage, etc. During the festive season such as; Christmas and the New Year, some hotels impose a compulsory Gala and guests must pay any supplement for the Gala dinner. We are not always informed about Gala dinner supplements and Nuitée cannot be held responsible for any such Gala supplements passed on by the hotel.
Cancellations & Amendments
We prefer that all cancellations and amendments are made on the Nuitée website. Alternatively you can contact the Nuitée Reservation Team via e-mail before the cancellation deadline for that specific booking/hotel. We do not accept cancellations or amendments over the telephone. Nuitée will not be bound by or accept responsibility for any changes and cancellations made directly with the hotel. Any requests for cancellations that are not made in proper time frame are subject to cancellation fee determined by Nuitée. It is important to note that only one amendment per booking will be accepted. If you require further amendments, please cancel and re-book with new details. When You re-book, new rates may be applicable. During special event periods, certain dates and early bird type bookings, hotels may pass on different cancellation policies of which You will be informed as soon as Nuitée is notified. In certain cases, name changes are not permitted and the bookings might need to be cancelled and re-booked. In this case new rates may apply. Any booking which offers free nights or early booking savings are liable to certain restrictions, which we will inform You about about as soon as Nuitée is notified. Generally these restrictions are; no name changes and no extension or reduction of nights e.g., You have booked a stay that includes 1 free night and Your Customer decides to cancel then, the free night will not be refunded because this was free. The nightly room rates might increase after a confirmed amendment, even if You decrease the number of nights. This might be either due to changes in currency exchange rates or promotions on the original booking date. If amendments are permitted, the following Amendment conditions may apply: Changes to arrival/departure date, room type or name change or where special offers were applied at the time of the booking may result in the re-pricing of that item, Product or Service.
Split Amendment
Nuitée system does not allow to make changes or amendments for multiple room bookings. Please cancel the whole booking and make a new reservation for multiple room bookings, and send an email to operations@nuitee.com for help.
Duplicate Bookings
Nuitee never guarantee a confirmation of duplicate bookings. If there are duplicate reservations on the system you need to amend one of them according to voucher conditions. Hotels might not agree to confirm duplicate bookings and in this situation, responsibility belongs to the User.
Special Events Period
During Special Event Periods, Providers and Hotels may pass on different cancellation policies of which User will be informed as soon as Nuitée is notified. Also, Provider(s) may not honor Nuitée's usual reduced rates, which means that the price Customer pays may be higher than the hotel's published rate. This can happen at any time when availability is low. During special event periods, certain dates and early bird type bookings, hotels and providers may pass on different cancellation policies of which User will be informed as soon as Nuitée is notified.
Proof of Id
When a booking has been made by a 3rd party, Nuitée reserves the right to request proof of ID from the credit cardholder as well as a signed authorisation form to protect Nuitée's Client/ Affiliate/Travel Agent/Agent. This security measure is not to cause any inconvenience but is intended to protect the credit card holder against any credit card misuse.
Relocation of your Passenger
If the original hotel booked is closed, overbooked, has maintenance problems and/or cannot provide the room(s) booked, Passenger accepts that the hotelier or Provider is responsible for finding alternate accommodation of a similar standard. If Nuitée have prior notice Nuitée will contact the User by e-mail to inform about the situation. In case of any relocation, Nuitée is responsible only to offer one alternative hotel. Providing more than one hotel option is at Nuitee's discretion. Nuitée constantly tries to find hotels in the desired area but, this situation can change according to the city and season (big events, conferences, festivals can affect the outcome) . Nuitée accepts no liability for any losses or costs that might occur as a result of re-location as this is completely beyond Nuitée's control.
On Request Reservations
The hotels with “Request” button and bookings with On Request Processing status means that the hotel does not have any available allotment, however, Nuitée will contact the hotel to request extra space. In rare occasions, the availability at the hotel might change by the time You complete Your booking and the final status might turn to "Request Processing". In these cases, do not attempt to book the same hotel again. You will be informed within 48 hours, if Your booking has been confirmed or rejected. If the hotel could be confirmed at a different rate, You will be advised. The confirmation may not be guaranteed and hotels have the right to reject “On Request” bookings. If Your accommodation request is urgent, it is suggested that You select a hotel with “instant confirmation”. Depending upon when a new search is made on Nuitée system, You may see the same hotel appearing again. This is because space may have become available although at different rates from when the initial request was made.
