Disclaimer

• 1. Inventory Control: Select Hotels & Resorts International sells hotel accommodation from inventory supplied directly by each hotel, and therefore cannot be held responsible for over-selling inventory. Select Hotels & Resorts International does not accept any liability for unavailability of rooms caused by the hotel over-selling the hotel's own room inventory.
• 2. Hotel Information: Select Hotels & Resorts International makes its best efforts to ensure that all the information that appears on its website is accurate. However, Select Hotels & Resorts International does not accept liability for any errors and/or omissions and reserves the right to change the information published at any time and without notice.
• 3. Hotel Visit: All hotel information that is published on this website is supplied directly by each Select Member hotel and is subject to change without notice. Select Hotels & Resorts International has visited the majority of its featured hotels and every effort has been made to ensure that hotels are described as accurately as possible. However, Select Hotels & Resorts International cannot accept responsibility for facilities, which are temporarily not available, are under renovation or not suited to individual tastes and preferences. Redecoration and maintenance is necessary to the upkeep of the hotel and may take place without prior warning, whilst the hotelier or supplier will endeavour to keep inconvenience to a minimum. The effects of normal wear and tear can be expected in a hotel and these are beyond our control. Select Hotels & Resorts International cannot accept responsibility for any disturbance or inconvenience to the client beyond their control nor for accidents in a hotel or loss caused by hotel management or staff.

Complaints

In the case of any problem or complaint, it is imperative that the client informs Select Hotels & Resorts International at the earliest opportunity in order that they have the chance to rectify the situation as quickly and efficiently as possible. Any complaint, which cannot be resolved locally, must be notified in writing to Select Hotels & Resorts International within 3 (three) days of the end of the service provided. A copy of the complaint must also be submitted to and signed by the hotel manager. If a client fails to follow this procedure this may hinder the ability of Select Hotels & Resorts International to rectify the complaint and reduce or extinguish any claim the client may have.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SELECT HOTELS & RESORTS INTERNATIONAL INCLUDING THEIR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AFFILIATES, OR PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "COVERED PARTIES"), BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, DEATH, LOSS, CLAIM, DAMAGE, ACT OF GOD, ACCIDENT, DELAY, OR ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHICH ARISE OUT OF OR ARE IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY USE OF THIS SITE OR WITH ANY DELAY OR INABILITY TO USE THIS SITE, OR FOR ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OBTAINED THROUGH THIS SITE, EVEN IF A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Further, the Covered Parties accept no responsibilities for any damage and/or delay due to Provider cancellations, shortages, sickness, pilferage, labour disputes, machinery breakdown, quarantine, government restraints, weather or causes beyond the Covered Parties' control. No responsibility is accepted for any additional expense, omissions, delays or acts of any governmental authority. No Covered Party shall be responsible for any Provider's breach of any warranty including, but not limited to, implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or of merchantability, nor shall any Covered Party be responsible for any other wrongdoing of a Provider (including any liability in tort), as to any products and/or services available through this Site. No Covered Party shall be responsible for any Provider's failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions nor for any Provider's failure to comply with applicable federal, state and local law including, without limitation, laws governing the sale, warranty, and return of perishables.

If, notwithstanding the above, a Covered Party is found liable for any loss or damage relating to the use of this Site, the User agrees that the liability of any such party shall in no event exceed the fee or charge to the User assessed by Select Hotels & Resorts International for making a request or booking. Some countries and states, to the extent their law might be deemed to apply, do not allow the limitation of liability, so the foregoing limitations might not apply to you.
