Scope of Application
These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the Emporium Collection website and all hotel bookings made through the reservation system operated by Emporium Collection.

General Use of the Emporium Collection Website
The Emporium Collection website allows users to search for hotel availability, rates, and make bookings for a specified number of travelers and dates. Emporium Collection reserves the right to modify or discontinue its website at any time.

Hotel Content and Categories
All hotel information and descriptions provided on the Emporium Collection website are based on assessments made by the respective hotels. Emporium Collection acts as a content provider for the hotels and is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the hotel content. Hotel classifications, such as star ratings, are provided by the hotels themselves and serve as non-binding indicators of the hotel's standards.

Prices and Taxes
Displayed prices on the Emporium Collection website reflect current low-day rates provided by the individual hotels and are applicable to bookings made through Emporium Collection's reservation system. Prices include service charges and VAT for Germany, while tax regulations may vary for other countries. Visitors should note that additional local taxes or service charges may apply in certain locations, and the exact amount may fluctuate. Complimentary late check-outs, if offered as part of Emporium Collection benefits, are subject to availability and may be discontinued by hotels at their discretion. Obvious errors and mistakes in pricing are not binding.

Registration
Users may register on the Emporium Collection website, providing personal data voluntarily. This data may be used to prefill booking forms and tailor communications, subject to user preferences. Registration can be canceled at any time by contacting community@emporiumcollection.com.

Auto Log-in

Accommodation Contract and Payment
Bookings made through Emporium Collection's reservation system establish an accommodation contract between the user and the chosen hotel. Payment is made directly to the hotel, and any claims or obligations arise between the user and the hotel. Rates offered through Emporium Collection cannot be combined with other promotions. Bookings are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash or credit.

Making a Booking
Users must provide personal and credit card details to complete a booking. By confirming the booking, users enter into a binding agreement with the hotel. Upon receiving confirmation, users are provided with a booking reference number. Emporium Collection serves as a carrier for messages between users and hotels.

Cancellations
Users do not have a statutory right of withdrawal from bookings. However, hotels may offer voluntary cancellation or change options for selected offers, subject to terms displayed during the booking process.

Storage and Accessibility of the Contract
Booking information and terms are stored by Emporium Collection and can be accessed through user accounts. The current and previous versions of terms and conditions are available on the website.

Liability
Emporium Collection is liable for intentional or grossly negligent acts or omissions. Liability for breaches of essential contractual obligations is limited to foreseeable damages. Liability for harm to life, body, or health, as well as under the Product Liability Act, remains unaffected. Emporium Collection disclaims liability for third-party reproduction of website content and any misrepresentation of rates or products.

All intellectual property rights associated with the website and its materials are owned by Emporium Collection or its licensors. Unauthorized use, reproduction, or modification of website materials is prohibited without prior written permission.
