INNsight.com Terms & Conditions

1. Scope of our Service

Through this standalone hospitality Website Powered by INNsight, we (INNsight.com) provide an online digital marketing and reservations platform through which Empire Inn can advertise their products and services, and through which visitors to the Website can make reservations and engage or communicate with the business. By making a reservation through INNsight.com, you enter into a direct and legally binding contractual relationship with Empire Inn. From the point at which you make your reservation, we act solely as an intermediary between you and Empire Inn, transmitting the details of your reservation to Empire Inn and sending you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the business. Your confirmation email is your contract between Empire Inn and yourself.

When rendering our services, the information that we disclose is based on the information provided to us by Empire Inn. As such, Empire Inn is given access to an extranet through which they are fully responsible for updating all property and service description content, rates, availability and other information which is displayed on our Website. Although we will use reasonable skill and care in performing our services 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 Website or otherwise, inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or non-delivery of information. Empire Inn remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness, and correctness of the descriptive information including the rates and availability displayed on our Website based on a contractual agreement between Empire Inn or third party data provider and INNsight.com. INNsight.com does not constitute and should not be regarded as a recommendation or endorsement of the quality, service level or rating of Empire Inn. INNsight.com does not guarantee adherence to The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III or Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 on behalf of Empire Inn.

2. Use of the Website

As a condition of your use of this Website, you warrant that:
1. You possess the legal authority to create a binding legal obligation,
2. You will use this Website in accordance with this Agreement,
3. You will only use this Website to make legitimate reservations for you or for another person for whom you are legally authorized to act,
4. All information supplied by you on this Website is true, accurate, current and complete, and
5. If you have an INNsight.com account, you will safeguard your account information and will supervise and be completely responsible for any use of your account by anyone other than you. We retain the right at our sole discretion to deny access to anyone to this Website and the services we offer, at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, for violation of this Agreement.

Our services are 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, products or services available on our Website for any commercial or competitive activity or purpose.

3. Rates and Lowest Price Promise

The prices or rates on our site are highly competitive. All lodging-related rates on the INNsight.com platform/Website are per room for your entire stay and are displayed including transient or lodging tax and all other taxes per the property, unless stated otherwise on our Website or in the confirmation email.

Sometimes cheaper rates are available at our Website for a specific stay or service at a hospitality business, however, these rates made by the business may carry special restrictions and conditions, for example in respect of cancellation and refund. Please check the rate details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation.

In the event of a strike-thru rate, where we have struck through the original price and offered a discounted rate, we have simply relayed a deal that the business has set up in the extranet based on their parameters of deal length, duration, and discount percentage or amount savings. We cannot guarantee the authenticity of the mark-down percentage but will render and provide the ability to book at the purported price.

We want you to pay the lowest price possible for your stay at a hospitality business. Should you find your room or accommodations, with the same reservations conditions, at a lower rate on the Internet after you have made a reservation through us, we will match the difference between our rate and the lower rate. Under the terms and conditions of the INNsight.com Lowest Price Promise, if you find a lower rate on a competitor's site up until your Cancellation Period, we will work with the business to match the lower discovered rate.

Please Note: The Lowest Price Promise will be ineligible in the event that you are redirected to a third-party booking engine from Empire Inn’s hospitality Website Powered by INNsight.

In order to contest a lower published rate elsewhere, you will need to contact INNsight at help@innsight.com with the details of where and when you came across the lower published rate. Upon review for accuracy, customer service will edit your reservation's rate to reflect the discount, and resend you an updated reservation confirmation.

4. Privacy

INNsight.com uses high ethical standards and respects your privacy. Except for disclosures required by law in any relevant jurisdiction and the disclosure of your name, email address and your credit card details for completing your reservation with the relevant business of your choice, we will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your consent. Please have a look at our Privacy Policy for further information. All partner businesses are required contractually to maintain the privacy rights of guests and guard their personally identifiable information with strict adherence to hospitality industry legal standards. INNsight.com works in earnest to address the Privacy Rights detailed in The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and The State of California’s Privacy Protection Laws on behalf of all of our users.

5. Free of charge

Our service to customers who are looking to discover places to stay, venues to dine and be entertained is free of charge. Unlike many of our competitors, we will not charge you for our service or add any additional reservation or booking fees to the rates displayed on our site. We will not charge your credit card, as you will pay Empire Inn or 3rd Party Data Provider directly for your stay or service. We are simply a search and booking platform for business with the simple goal of finding the right place for your stay, dine, or be entertained at the right price.

6. Credit Card Security Standards

Many partner businesses require credit card details in order to guarantee your reservation. As such, we will send your credit card information directly to Empire Inn at which your booking is made and we may verify (i.e. pre-authorize) your credit card as well. In order to safeguard and encrypt your credit card information when in transit to us, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology provided by industry leader GoDaddy, Inc. for our services.

For certain rates or special offers, please note that your credit card may be pre-authorized or charged (sometimes without any option for refund) upon reservation and confirmation of the reservation by Empire Inn or 3rd Party Data Provider. Please check the property and purchase details thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation. In some cases, INNsight.com reserves the right to resell products or services provided by 3rd Party Data Providers such as Priceline Partner Network upon which you will additionally be subject to the said party’s terms of use and conditions.

In the event of credit card fraud or unauthorized use of your credit card by third parties, most banks and credit card companies bear the risk and cover all the charges resulting from such fraud or misuse, which may sometimes be subject to a deductible. In the event that your credit card company or bank charges you for the deductible because of unauthorized transactions resulting from a reservation made on our Website, we will pay you this deductible, up to an aggregate amount of USD $50 (or the equivalent in your local currency). In order to be indemnified, please make sure that you report this fraud to your credit card provider (in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures) and contact us immediately by email at customerservice@INNsight.com. Please state 'credit card fraud' in the subject line of your email and provide us with evidence of the charged deductible (e.g. policy of the credit card company). This indemnification only applies to credit card reservations made using INNsight.com’s secure server and does not cover the unauthorized use of your credit card as a result of your default or negligence and through no fault of our own while using the secure server.
