You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Platform. By using the Platform, you confirm that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts and that all information you provide is true, accurate, current, and complete.

If you are using the Platform on behalf of a business or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that business or organisation to these Terms.

Our Role

NightPorter Group Ltd. provides the Platform only and is not itself the provider of accommodation, food, beverage, or other hospitality services.

Any contract for accommodation, dining, or other services is made directly between the Guest and the Accommodation Provider. NightPorter is not a party to that contract and accepts no responsibility for the performance, quality, safety, or suitability of the services provided by the Accommodation Provider.

Registration and Account Security

To make a Booking as a Guest, you must register on the Platform and create an account. Accommodation Providers must also register their accommodation and provide the information required for verification.

You must ensure that all registration details are correct and complete and must notify us of any changes to your information.

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and confidential and for all activity carried out under your account. If you suspect any unauthorised use of your account, you must notify us immediately.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if we reasonably believe that you have breached these Terms, provided false information, or used the Platform improperly or unlawfully.

Booking Process

A Booking shall only be deemed confirmed once the Guest has completed the booking process through the Platform and received confirmation from NightPorter or the Accommodation Provider, as applicable

All Bookings are subject to availability at the time of confirmation and to the Accommodation Provider’s booking policies and requirements.

NightPorter does not guarantee that any particular room, date, or service will remain available until a Booking is confirmed.

Minimum Spend

By making a Booking through the Platform, the Guest agrees to meet the Minimum Spend stated at the time of booking.

The Minimum Spend will be clearly displayed before the Booking is completed and forms part of the booking conditions agreed between the Guest and the Accommodation Provider.

The Minimum Spend may be applied only to those products or services specified by the Accommodation Provider at the time of booking or check-in.

Booking Fee

To secure your Booking through the Platform, a non-refundable Booking Fee equal to 5% of the agreed Minimum Spend will be charged to the Guest at the time of booking.

The Booking Fee is an administration charge for use of the Platform and is processed through the app.

NightPorter does not collect or process any other payments relating to the Minimum Spend, which remains payable directly to the Accommodation Provider in accordance with the booking terms.

Upfront Payments

Some Accommodation Providers may require an Upfront Payment in connection with a Booking.

Where applicable, the Guest will be informed of any such requirement during the booking process.

Any Upfront Payment may be subject to the Accommodation Provider’s own cancellation and refund policy, and NightPorter accepts no responsibility for the refund or retention of such payment.

Pricing and Errors

All prices and Minimum Spend amounts are set by the Accommodation Provider and are subject to change at any time prior to confirmation of the Booking.

Whilst we make reasonable efforts to ensure that all information displayed on the Platform is accurate, errors may occasionally occur.

In the event of a manifest error in pricing, availability, or listing information, NightPorter and/or the Accommodation Provider reserves the right to cancel the Booking and refund any amounts paid, without further liability.

Accommodation Provider Information

Whilst we strive to ensure that all information provided by Accommodation Providers is accurate, we cannot accept responsibility for any misinformation, inaccuracies, or errors.

Cancellation and No-Shows

By making a Booking, the Guest agrees to comply with the cancellation policy stated by the Accommodation Provider.

If the Guest cancels outside the permitted cancellation period or fails to attend the Booking, the Guest may remain liable for the Minimum Spend or any cancellation charge imposed by the Accommodation Provider.

The Guest is responsible for reviewing the applicable cancellation policy before completing the Booking.
