You should print a copy of these Terms or save them to your computer for future reference.

We amend these Terms from time to time as set out in clause 13. Every time you wish to use our Services, please check these Terms to ensure you understand the Terms which will apply at that time. These Terms, and any Contract between us, are only in the English language.

Our Services

• Our site is an online platform through which restaurants and similar venues (Restaurant(s)) can advertise their fixed price meal menus and through which businesses, such as tour operators, can make Restaurant reservations. Our Services are not available to consumers.
• By placing a booking via our site, you enter into a direct contractual relationship with us in our role as intermediary.
• Our website shows details of available bookings and sample or actual menus. If you wish to look into alternative bookings, menus or other arrangements you should contact us by email giving details of your requirements. We will respond to you by email as soon as possible but we cannot guarantee to fulfil any such requests.
• Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to constitute a partnership or any employment relationship between the parties.

Access to our Site

• You will need to register with us in order to use our Services and our site. Access to our site is permitted on a temporary basis and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend our Services. We will not be liable if for any reason our site is unavailable at any time or for any period.
• If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms.

Restaurant Information

• All Restaurant information appearing on our site is based on the information provided to us by each relevant Restaurant, which has sole responsibility for updating all pricing, sample and actual menus, availability and other relevant Restaurant information via its access to an interface on our site.
• Although we will use reasonable skill and care in performing our Services, we will not verify and cannot guarantee that all information relating to any Restaurant is accurate, complete and updated.

How the contract is formed between you and us

• Our online, real-time, booking process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your booking to us. Please take the time to read and check your booking at each page of the booking process.
• After you make a booking, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your booking. However, please note that this does not mean that your booking has been accepted. Our acceptance of your booking will take place as described in clause 5.3.
• We will confirm our acceptance of your booking by sending you an email (Email Confirmation). The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Email Confirmation.
• You shall indemnify us against all costs, claims, damages, losses and expenses arising as a result of any claim or action suffered by us in the event that we are held to be acting as your agent in performing our obligations under these Terms or in the event of any breach of these Terms by you.
• You shall be responsible for taking out and maintaining appropriate levels of insurance cover to cover your obligations and liabilities under this these Terms and any Contract and for providing us with evidence of the same immediately upon our request.

Pricing

• All Restaurant pricing will be as quoted on our site from time to time. All prices are shown per person unless indicated and are displayed inclusive of any VAT. Services charges may or may not be included in the pricing at the discretion of the Restaurant. If a service charge is included in the pricing, it relates only to the food element and not to any extras, such as drinks. If a service charge is not included in the pricing, any service charge is payable to the Restaurant at the entire discretion of the diner and the Restaurant is not entitled to levy any service charge or present a service charge bill. We shall not be liable to you for any service charges paid in error.
• Details of how you pay for Restaurant bookings will be as agreed with you and confirmed in our Email Confirmation. Where, in our absolute discretion, we have given you credit facilities these may be withdrawn by us at any time. We reserve the right (but are not obliged) to suspend our Services to you (which may include suspending your access to our site) and/or charge you interest if you do not pay us on the due date. Interest is charged on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above The Bank of England's base lending rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You shall be required to pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
• Restaurant offers, menus and pricing will be set for a defined period and you will be subject to the arrangements as detailed in our Email Confirmation to you. Any sample menus are subject to minor seasonal variations.
• All additional charges incurred at the Restaurant, such as for drinks, must be paid direct to the Restaurant before leaving the venue. Failure to comply with the provisions of this clause shall be regarded as a fundamental breach of these Terms. Such additional charges are subject to a separate contract between the diner and the Restaurant and we shall not be held liable to you or to any third party in respect thereof.
• If you have any queries in relation to your Contract, you should refer them to us. Your Contract is with us and not with you and the Restaurant, so you must deal with us and not the Restaurant. Any contravention of this provision will be regarded as a material breach of these Terms and we may terminate your future right to access and use the site and our Services.
• Our relationship with Restaurants mean that they are required to use their best efforts to ensure that pricing details are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered by the Restaurant onto our system.
• Our site contains information about many Restaurants. It is always possible that some of the Restaurant pricing on our site may be incorrect. If we discover an error in the pricing for the Restaurant you have booked we will inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing your booking at the correct price or cancelling your booking. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the booking process, we will treat the booking as cancelled and notify you in writing.
• Please note that if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, there is no obligation to honour a Restaurant booking at the incorrect (lower) price.

Cancellation, Late Arrivals and No shows

• Once there is a Contract in place you may cancel a Restaurant booking by giving us notice via our online booking system. If your cancellation is received by us less than 36 hours before the time of the Restaurant booking you will not be entitled to any refund of the price. If your cancellation is received by us more than 36 hours before the time of the Restaurant booking, we will refund in full any sums paid by you for that Restaurant booking using the same mode of payment as you used to pay us.
• Refunds will not be provided for any other reason, such as where there is a ‘no show’ (failure to turn up at the Restaurant for a booking) or if there is late arrival (beyond 15 minutes from the scheduled booking time). Please note that a Restaurant is not obliged to honour a booking where arrival is more than 15 minutes after the scheduled booking time.

No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. 19.4 Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. 19.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you. 19.6 The Contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. 19.7 We both irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a Contract or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims).
