Preamble: 

The present contract contains the main modalities for the establishment of the various services listed below and their consequences, for which the Customer has engaged REGIÔTELS. REGIÔTELS is a company that provides consulting and management services in the hotel and tourism industry. The Customer operates a hotel and wants to increase sales and profitability over the coming years while saving time and creating efficiencies. The main focus of the collaboration is to build on direct digital bookings and online business generally from new markets preferably.

Art. 1 – REGIÔTELS service

REGIÔTELS supports the hotel with a range of services aimed at increasing the Customer’s room revenue and making the business more profitable. These services are provided by the REGIÔTELS team in collaboration with the Hotel’s team. All activities and measures are adapted to Customer needs and discussed and validated in advance.

After signing the contract, the REGIÔTELS team will contact the Customer to provide an as-is analysis of the current activity and strategy. This first dialogue enables REGIÔTELS to create concrete strategies tailored to the needs of the clients of the Customer and to take measures to improve these approaches. The Customer is regularly informed about the progress of the projects; if necessary, adjustments to the individual measures can also be made. The Customer always remains the decision maker, REGIÔTELS does not undertake actions that the Customer is not informed about and that they have not validated unless the Customer has given tacit permission to proceed.

For the full list of service details relating to this contract, please refer back to the agreed offer.

Art. 2 – Digital Reservation Process and    Customer Obligations

In the case of already implemented booking systems and similar IT systems that digitalise the booking process or act as a third-party provider (including social media channels), as well as in the case of a new installation, the Customer undertakes to grant REGIÔTELS access to these systems at any time in order to ensure a smooth sales process. The operation of these systems is in the hands of the Customer.

During the term of this agreement, reports from the computer systems (PMS and Channel Manager) will be jointly accessed by REGIÔTELS and the Customer. This agreement can cover all hotels in the Customer Group. This can be extended to any other properties owned by the client – an email as confirmation will suffice as an addendum to this contract with all terms and conditions identical. If the computer systems available to the Customer and their hardware and / or software standard are not compatible with the software to be established by REGIÔTELS for the fulfillment of the contract, REGIÔTELS will inform the Customer and propose a different IT system. REGIÔTELS will help with the implementation of the third-party IT system (costs may occur). If required, REGIÔTELS trains the Customer’s team and offers further support. This is done either through the third-party call center, outside office hours or through REGIÔTELS itself and can be in person if required.

In order to successfully implement the REGIÔTELS services, the Hotel agrees to use the following reservation procedure:

 All room reservations must be made through the Hotel’s computer systems (PMS). Regardless of the method of booking a room (via the Hotel website, an external online booking portal, a telephone reservation or otherwise booked directly at the Hotel). Any bookings going through the channel manager are subject to the terms in Article 8.

Any change or cancellation of the room reservation that has already been entered into the computer systems must be made by the Hotel.

The Hotel is responsible to update the room availability in the channel manager (and PMS) and to make sure that this number is always correct. REGIÔTELS does not manage the room availability.

Art. 3 – Contract duration

This contract is valid for the period stated on page 1 as of the start date mentioned below. After expiry of the original term, the contract will be extended by an additional year every year, unless the contract is terminated by a party six months before the end of the contract period (ordinary termination). The notification period for cancellation is six months by either party. The cancellation can be made in writing or electronically by e-mail. This does not affect the right of the parties to extraordinary termination for good cause.

Extraordinary termination rights of the Customer and cancellation policy:

If the contract is terminated by the Customer in the first year of collaboration from the date of signature, a cancelation fee will apply of 3000€ per hotel. In case of a 2 year contract and cancellation during the the second year of collaboration from the date of signature a cancelation fee will apply of 1500€ per hotel to cover the time spent to ensure that all systems and data are handed over as well as training for the hotel to be able to continue beyond the partnership. If REGIÔTELS cancels the cooperation, no additional cancellation fees apply.

If the Hotel is forced to close temporarily for any reason (for reasons beyond the control of the Hotel such as security threats, health pandemics etc.), there are no fees for the duration of the closure. Any month unbilled extends the contract automatically by the corresponding number of months. In the case of the permanent closure of the Hotel, the present contract ends automatically on the day of the closure, without the need for additional termination or any additional financial penalties. In the case of a sale of the Hotel, RegiÔtels must be given an option to be included as a service provider under the current conditions in the first six months trading of the incoming operator.
