General Terms of Business

of ALLTOPHOTELS GmbH – hereinafter “ALLTOPHOTELS”

1. Scope

These terms of business shall be an integral part of all our offers and contracts relating to database access, provision of addresses, services and other transactions with our customers, including future ones. The general terms of business of the customer shall not bind us even if we fail to expressly revoke them. Customers in the sense of these terms of business shall be the company as the direct contracting partner. Users shall be all individuals on the side of the contracting partner, who have been granted access to the data or services of ALLTOPHOTELS on the request of the customer. The contracting partner shall be fully and solely responsible for all its users in connection with these general terms of business.

2. Content of the Service

2.1. Online databases
2.1.1. The contracting partner or its users can register on the websites of ALLTOPHOTELS for a free test account or enter into a contractual relationship in form of a subscription contract. By concluding a subscription contract, the contracting partner shall enter into a business relationship with ALLTOPHOTELS, based on the contents of these general terms of business.
2.1.2. ALLTOPHOTELS shall provide information on its server. Hereby, the ALLTOPHOTELS team shall manage new additions and updates to the worldwide database for hotels and commercial accommodation properties, profiles and data of hotel chains and groups as well as other addresses and market data on a daily basis. Despite the continuous updating and revision of the data and due to the fluctuation within individual addresses and industry groups it cannot be guaranteed that the addresses and other features in the files are correct or complete at the time of provision. As the data has among other things been obtained from surveys, it can furthermore not be guaranteed that an addressee is or still is what it claimed to be at the time the data was collected or last updated or what a third party claimed the addressee to be.
2.1.3. The services shall enable the contracting partner or its users to call up information for their own purposes. Further rights, however, shall not be established by these terms of business.
2.1.4. To register, the user must provide information about his company and his person. ALLTOPHOTELS reserves the right to suspend the registration until the provided information has been verified. The deliberate entry of incorrect details by the contracting partner or its users shall constitute a breach of these terms of business and result in the immediate exclusion from this service. ALLTOPHOTELS is entitled to block immediately the access to the data services and to contest the contract or terminate it without notice. The contracting partner or its users shall in such a case have no claim to the refund of payments already made.
2.1.5. Within the scope of the registration the users of the contracting partner shall create an individual password. This password enables access to the services of the ordered databases. Should a user forget or misplace his password, he can create a new password at ALLTOPHOTELS after an appropriate security clearance. For this purpose the user will receive an email from ALLTOPHOTELS.
2.1.6. Changes to the password may be made directly in the access data personally supplied to the user.
2.1.7. The contracting partner or its users shall be responsible for all activities carried out using the created access authorisation and passwords, including the use of the access authorisation by third parties.
2.1.8. The contracting party or its users undertake to protect their access from unauthorised use by third parties. It is prohibited to pass on access data and passwords. The contracting party shall be liable for any unauthorised use of the access to the areas, which require registration made possible by its actions or the actions of the users.
2.1.9. Subscription invoices shall be payable without deduction immediately after receipt for each year of the licence in advance, if applicable plus the relevant rate of value-added tax. Maturity date shall be the day the licences period commences.
2.1.10.1. Contract term and notice to terminate subscription services
A contract year shall comprise 12 months from the start of the agreed licence period. The contract term shall be extended by 12 further months unless notice is given in writing by one of the parties no less than three months prior to expiry or three months to the end of the extension period.
2.1.10.2 Compliance with the notice period and the termination itself shall be subject to the receipt of the notice letter by the relevant party.
2.1.10.3 The provision relating to termination for an important reason shall not be affected. If the customer terminates the contract without notice and if there are no grounds for termination without notice, the termination shall act as notice of termination on the next possible date.

2.2. Provision of addresses
2.2.1. ALLTOPHOTELS provides address data in various formats. Hereby, the ALLTOPHOTELS shall manage new additions and updates to these data on a daily basis. Despite the continuous updating and revision of the address data and due to the fluctuation within individual address and industry groups it cannot be guaranteed that the postal addresses and other features are correct and that the entire industry or target group is included in the files at the time of provision.
2.2.2. The contacting partner has the right to use the addresses for its own purposes and to save them on its own computers. These terms of business, however, shall not establish further rights.

2.3. Market data/Analyses/Reports
2.3.1. ALLTOPHOTELS creates reports and market analyses in various formats using own data and third party sources.
2.3.2. The contracting partner has the right to use the data for its own purposes and to save them on its own computers. These terms of business, however, shall not establish further rights.

2.4. Conferences/Events
ALLTOPHOTELS also organises events and congresses independently and/or in cooperation. In the event that no separate terms and conditions have been agreed on within the scope of such an agreement concluded with the contracting partner, these general terms of business shall also apply for such agreements.

2.5. Additional services
In addition, ALLTOPHOTELS also provides various consulting services and further services.
