GENERAL CONDITIONS

2. XML INTEGRATION
The Client will develop the XML integration, following the API specification provided, in order to get access to IXPIRA product content and to purchase product(s) from IXPIRA.

In the event The Client will stop purchasing Products for a period longer than 3 months, IXPIRA reserves the right to suspend the use of the XML connection and/or the Website, including the access to the Product Content.

3. RATES AND BOOKING CONDITIONS
The prices are confidential and may not be disclosed to any party outside the Agreement. Any abuse of the rates will result in access to IXPIRA software and/or website being denied, and the cancellation of all the reservations held.

All rates are valid for the leisure market, FIT basis. Groups bookings (over 5 rooms) performed via XML or via the Website are not allowed even if performed in separate reservations. Block booking of accommodation reservations for future sales is forbidden under any circumstances or at any time. IXPIRA reserves the right to cancel any reservations made for these purposes without liability.

The Client will obtain the net prices via XML of all products including direct or indirect taxes (except local charges to be paid at the hotel by the end-client). Rates will be confirmed at the time of booking. These could override any previously quoted rates.
The Client shall be invoiced according to current prices at the time of online confirmation of reservation. Price does not include any service not specified in the reservation confirmation. Any kind of duty or tax is also excluded, being the responsibility of the client making the reservation. Any extra services are not included such as telephone calls, insurance, laundry service, minibar, parking, etc. which shall be paid directly by the final consumer.

The Client cannot assume that the booking has been confirmed, amended or cancelled until an XML message has been produced by IXPIRA. It is the sole responsibility of The Client to make sure that the request has been taken in-charge and elaborated.

The voucher issued by The Client must indicate that it is payable by Travel Compound designated in the voucher issued by IXPIRA and must include its reference number.

Once a booking has been confirmed, modification and cancellation is allowed via XML. Booking conditions and cancellation terms are provided via XML. In the event of late modification, late cancellation and no show, charges will be applicable in line with the agreements finalized with the product provider.

In case of early check out, any claim for eventual reimbursement shall be addressed to IXPIRA within ten days of the effective date of departure, together with the written confirmation from the accommodation establishment of time and date of departure. During peak occupation season the hotel may charge the full amount of the original reservation, in which case reimbursement to the final consumer shall not apply.
Cancellations and amendments agreed directly by the end-customer with the product supplier, will be debited in line with the agreements finalized with the product provider.

If for exceptional reasons the cancellation should not be made via XML or via the Website, it must be sent in writing to IXPIRA detailing the destination and reservation number. IXPIRA shall send acknowledgement of receipt and inform of all the charges, if any, which may be applicable. The Client shall be responsible for obtaining the confirmation and/or acknowledgement of receipt of the cancellation of the reservation.

In case of no show, no reimbursement to the final consumer shall be made without prior consultation with, and express authorisation from IXPIRA, who shall inform The Client of charges payable, which may vary from the cost of one night (for hotel reservations) to 100% of the amount of the reservation.
