Scope of our Service

Through the Platform, we (LGH and its affiliate (distribution) partners) provide an online platform through which Merchant can advertise their products and service for reservation, and through which visitors of the Platform can make such reservations (i.e. the reservation service). By making a reservation through LGH, you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the Merchant with which you make a reservation or purchase a product or service (as applicable). From the point at which you make your reservation, we act solely as an intermediary between you and the Merchant, transmitting the details of your reservation to the relevant Merchant(s) and sending you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the Merchant.

When rendering our Service, the information that we disclose is based on the information provided to us by Merchants. As such, the Merchants are given access to an extranet through which they are fully responsible for updating all rates, availability and other information which is displayed on our Platform. Although we will use reasonable skill and care in performing our Service, we will not verify if, and cannot guarantee that, all information is accurate, complete or correct, nor can we be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of our Platform or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information. Each Merchant remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the (descriptive) information (including the rates and availability) displayed on our Platform. Our Platform does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level, qualification or (star) rating of any Merchant (or its facilities, venue, products or services) made available.

Our Service is made available for personal and non-commercial use only. Therefore, you are not allowed to re-sell, deep-link, use, copy, monitor (e.g. spider, scrape), display, download or reproduce any content or information, software, reservations, tickets, products or services available on our Platform for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose.

Special Requests

In the event of any special requests (for example: extra blanket, late check in, rooms to be easily accessible by wheelchair, change of name, change of date, or equivalent), you can insert the request when making a reservation on the Platform or contact the Merchant directly (as applicable). The request will be addressed at the Merchant’s and Softinn’s discretion, based on availability and other factors.

Prices

The prices on our Platform are highly competitive. All room prices are per room/per unit of accommodation for your entire stay and all prices are displayed including GST/sales tax and all other taxes (subject to change of such taxes), unless stated differently on our Platform or the confirmation email/ticket. Applicable fees and taxes (including tourist/city tax) may be charged by the Merchant in the event of a no-show or cancellation fee. Applicable taxes may be charged by the Merchant in the event of a no-show or cancellation fee.

Sometimes cheaper rates are available on our Platform for a specific stay, product or service, however, these rates made available by Merchant may carry special restrictions and conditions, for example non-cancellable and non-refundable. Please check the relevant product, service and reservation conditions and details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation.

Free of charge

Our service is free of charge because, unlike many other parties, we will not charge you for our Service or add any additional (reservation) fees to the rate.

End user is given 12 hours (from the time a booking is created) to make full payment to Softinn in order to secure the booking. After the end user has consummated the service or product of the Merchant or after the guest has stayed at (and paid) the accommodation, Softinn will remit the net amount (after deducting a small percentage of the product price (e.g. room price)) to the Merchant following Softinn’s Merchant pay-out practice.

Credit card or bank transfer

LGH facilitates (through third party payment processors) the payment of the relevant product or service (i.e. the payment facilitation service) for and on behalf of the Merchant. Please note that payment is made upfront by wire transfer (Direct Debit through Billplz, or ATM transfer) or by Visa/Master card upon making the reservation. Payment is safely processed from your Visa/Master card or bank account to the bank account of the Softinn through a third party payment processor. The visitor has the sole responsibility to ensure that the correct amount of the payment is transferred to Softinn. LGH or Softinn will not be held liable or responsible for any excess amount transferred by the visitor to Softinn’s bank account.

For payment made by types other than Direct Debit and Visa/Master card, the visitor is required to provide the proof of payment in email to our email at [email protected], together with the unique reservation code (RV code).

Any payment facilitated by us for, and transferred to the Merchant will in each case constitute a payment of (part of) the net booking price (amount received deduct the agreed commission) by you of the relevant product or service in final settlement of such (partial) due and payable price and you cannot reclaim such paid monies.

Please check the (reservation) details of your product or service of choice thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. You will not hold LGH or Softinn liable or responsible for any (authorized, (allegedly) unauthorized or wrong) charge by the Merchant and not (re)claim any amount for any valid or authorized charge by the Supplier (including for pre-paid rates, no-show and chargeable cancellation) of your Visa/Master card.

Pre-payment, cancellation, no-show and fine print

By making a reservation with a Merchant, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no- show policy of that Merchant (or agree to LGH’s cancellation and refund policy in the event the Merchant lacks of one: refer to the LGH’s cancellation policy: letsgoholiday.my/Page/FAQs), and to any additional (delivery) terms and conditions of the Merchant that may apply to your visit or stay (including the fine print of the Merchant made available on our Platform and the relevant house rules of the Merchant), including for services rendered and/or products offered by the accommodation provider (the delivery terms and conditions of an accommodation provider can be obtained with the relevant accommodation provider). The general cancellation and no-show policy of each Merchant is made available on our Platform on the Merchant accommodation listing information pages, during the reservation procedure and in the confirmation email or ticket (if applicable). Please note that certain rates or special offers are not eligible for cancellation or change. Please check the (reservation) details of your product or service of choice thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. Please note that a reservation which requires down payment or (wholly or partly) prepayment may be cancelled (without a prior notice of default or warning) insofar the relevant (remaining) amount(s) cannot be collected in full on the relevant payment date in accordance with the relevant payment policy of the Merchant and the reservation.

Cancellation and prepayment policies may vary according to Merchant. Please carefully read the fine print (at the bottom of each Merchant page on our Platform) and important information in your reservation confirmation for additional policies as may be applied by the Merchant (e.g. in respect of, maximum number of person allowed, security deposit, non-cancellation/additional supplements for group bookings, extra beds/no free breakfast, pets/cards accepted, muslim only or non-muslim friendly, check in / check out time). If the end user breaches any of the policies set by the Merchant, the Merchant has the right to deny the reservation and making no refund to the end user. Late payment, wrong bank, Visa/Master card details, invalid Visa/Master cards or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account and you shall not be entitled to any refund of any (non-refundable) prepaid amount unless the Merchant agrees or allows otherwise under its (pre)payment and cancellation policy.

If you wish to review, adjust or cancel your reservation, please revert to the confirmation email and follow the instructions therein. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with the accommodation provider's cancellation, (pre)payment and no-show policy or not be entitled to any repayment of any (pre)paid amount. We recommend that you read the cancellation, (pre)payment and no-show policy of the accommodation provider carefully prior to making your reservation and remember to make further payments on time as may be required for the relevant reservation.
