General Provisions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>These general conditions (the \u201cConditions\u201d) govern by default all contractual relations<\/p>\n<p>between Hotel Memling (the \u201cHotel\u201d) and any natural or legal person (the \u201cGuest\u201d). They<\/p>\n<p>apply to all reservations, whether made directly, via the Hotel\u2019s official<\/p>\n<p>website www.memling.net, or via any other distribution channel. Any reservation implies<\/p>\n<p>the Guest\u2019s full and unconditional acceptance of these Conditions.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Availability and Allocation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Room offers are subject to availability at the time of contract conclusion. The Hotel reserves<\/p>\n<p>the right to refuse any reservation according to its capacity or for any legitimate reason. In<\/p>\n<p>line with hotel practice, reservation guarantee is only effective after actual receipt of<\/p>\n<p>payment or deposit, as defined at the time of booking.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Online Booking Procedures<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>3.1 Guest Identification<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>When booking via the website, the Guest must provide accurate, truthful, and complete<\/p>\n<p>information, including a valid email address. The Hotel disclaims any responsibility for any<\/p>\n<p>failure or improper performance of services resulting from incorrect or incomplete information<\/p>\n<p>provided by the Guest.<\/p>\n<h4><b>3.2 Booking Confirmation<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>The contract is deemed concluded once the Hotel issues an automatic<\/p>\n<p>bookingconfirmation email, subject to prior validation of the electronic payment. This<\/p>\n<p>confirmation email constitutes proof of the transaction and must be presented by the Guest<\/p>\n<p>at checkin. If no such confirmation is received, the reservation cannot be considered firm<\/p>\n<p>and final.<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Day Use \/ Daytime Accommodation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Dayuse accommodation (\u201cday use\u201d) is subject to availability and may only be booked<\/p>\n<p>between 09h00 and 16h00. Such reservations cannot be confirmed more than 24 hours<\/p>\n<p>before the arrival date. Staying in the room after 16h00 automatically triggers an additional<\/p>\n<p>night\u2019s charge at the current rate.<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. CheckIn \/ CheckOut<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>At checkin, the Guest must present a valid identity document (passport, national ID card, or<\/p>\n<p>voter card). Rooms are available from 14h00. Early checkin before 14h00 requires the<\/p>\n<p>Hotel\u2019s prior written agreement and triggers a charge for the preceding night.<\/p>\n<p>Checkout must be completed by 11h00 on the departure day. Late checkout permitted<\/p>\n<p>between 11h00 and 16h00 will be charged according to the posted rate. Departure<\/p>\n<p>after 16h00 will incur one additional night\u2019s charge.<\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Modification and Cancellation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Any cancellation must be notified in writing at least 24 hours before the scheduled<\/p>\n<p>arrival date (i.e., before 14h00 the previous day). After this deadline, or in case of noshow,<\/p>\n<p>the first night will be charged as compensation and the remainder of the stay will be<\/p>\n<p>cancelled, unless otherwise agreed.<\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Prices and Payment Terms<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>7.1 Pricing<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Prices are stated per room and per night, based on the number of occupants, room category,<\/p>\n<p>and dates of stay. The total price VATinclusive (all taxes included) encompasses all<\/p>\n<p>applicable taxes, fees, and parafiscal charges on hotel services, including Value Added Tax<\/p>\n<p>(VAT).<\/p>\n<h4><b>7.2 Items Excluded from the Base Rate<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Room prices do not include supplements (in particular, singleoccupancy, category changes),<\/p>\n<p>nor additional services. Extra charges apply for onsite consumption, including (without<\/p>\n<p>limitation): minibar use, safedeposit box, telephone calls, room service, meals (except<\/p>\n<p>specific packages), travel insurance, laundry, bar and restaurant consumption.<\/p>\n<h4><b>7.3 Payment Policy<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>The Hotel does not grant credit, except under a prior written agreement. All expenses<\/p>\n<p>incurred during the stay must be paid immediately.<\/p>\n<p>In line with the Hotel\u2019s policy and practice, the Hotel reserves the right to request payment<\/p>\n<p>of interim invoices at reception as soon as the cumulative amount reaches the equivalent<\/p>\n<p>of 150 USD in Congolese francs (CDF), calculated at the day\u2019s exchange rate, in<\/p>\n<p>accordance with Central Bank of Congo regulations.<\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Payment and Cancellation Terms<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The full amount of the stay (reserved nights) must be paid within three (3) days after<\/p>\n<p>booking confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Any request for deviation from the payment terms must be made in writing (mail or email) to<\/p>\n<p>the Hotel, which reserves the right to accept or refuse the request. If no written derogation is<\/p>\n<p>granted, the Hotel may cancel any reservation whose payment has not been received<\/p>\n<p>within the specified time.<\/p>\n<p>Accepted payment methods are: cash (within legal limits), bank transfer, and credit card.<\/p>\n<p>Personal cheques are not accepted.<\/p>\n<p>For information on deposits and advance payments, the Guest may contact the reservation<\/p>\n<p>office: phone +243 (0) 81 700 11 11, fax +243 (0) 81 301 33 33, or info@memling.net.<\/p>\n<p>Bank details will be provided upon request.<\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Reservations by Companies or Organizations with a Special Agreement<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>In relations between the Hotel and companies or organizations that have entered into a<\/p>\n<p>specific partnership agreement, any reservation request (by phone, mail, or email) must be<\/p>\n<p>formally confirmed by a purchase order, subject to the existence of approved credit<\/p>\n<p>facilities.<\/p>\n<p>If no credit agreement exists, the payment terms in Article 8 apply. Failure to regularize<\/p>\n<p>payment within three (3) working days after the request leads to automatic cancellation of<\/p>\n<p>the reservation, and the Hotel may rerelease the prereserved rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Credit facilities are granted only if all arrears are paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of<\/p>\n<p>the invoice. If this deadline is not met, the Hotel may require full prepayment for all future<\/p>\n<p>bookings.<\/p>\n<p>The Hotel reserves the right to cancel, without notice or compensation, any reservation if the<\/p>\n<p>conditions of this Article 9 are not strictly respected.<\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Hotel Liability<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The Hotel is fully liable for damage resulting from fraud, gross negligence, or that of its<\/p>\n<p>employees or agents, or from any failure to perform a material obligation under the<\/p>\n<p>contract. This liability also covers death or bodily injury to the Guest arising from acts or<\/p>\n<p>omissions attributable to the Hotel, under the rules of the Congolese Civil Code (Book III \u2013<\/p>\n<p>civil liability).<\/p>\n<p>As bailee, the Hotel is liable for deterioration, destruction, or loss of items brought to the<\/p>\n<p>establishment by the Guest. This liability is however limited, except in cases of proven fault<\/p>\n<p>of the Hotel or its employees, in line with international practice and Law No. 18018 on<\/p>\n<p>fundamental tourism principles. The Hotel is exempt if the damage is due to:<\/p>\n<p>the Guest, accompanying persons, visitors, or persons in their service;<\/p>\n<p>force majeure or armed robbery (unforeseeable and irresistible);<\/p>\n<p>the nature or inherent defect of the item.<\/p>\n<p>Hotel liability for other material damage not covered above is limited to the total amount<\/p>\n<p>paid by the Guest for the reservation, except where overriding publicorder rules apply.<\/p>\n<p>The Hotel disclaims liability for damage, loss, or theft of vehicles parked on its premises or<\/p>\n<p>their contents, as well as for services provided by thirdparty providers, even if recommended<\/p>\n<p>or arranged by the Hotel. Claims for compensation will be forfeited if the Guest does not<\/p>\n<p>notify the Hotel\u2019s management without undue delay after discovering the damage or loss.<\/p>\n<h3>11. Guest Liability<\/h3>\n<p>The Guest is liable for any damage caused by their acts, omissions, negligence, or<\/p>\n<p>imprudence, under Articles 258 and 259 of the Congolese Civil Code (Book III). If damage<\/p>\n<p>is discovered after the Guest\u2019s departure, the Hotel may charge the repair costs to the<\/p>\n<p>Guest\u2019s credit or debit card or send an invoice, without prejudice to any judicial action.<\/p>\n<h3><b>12. Force Majeure<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The Hotel is released from its obligations and owes no compensation if nonperformance is<\/p>\n<p>due to force majeure. \u201cForce majeure\u201d refers to any unforeseeable, irresistible, and external<\/p>\n<p>event (under Congolese caselaw), such as natural or nuclear disasters, epidemics, armed<\/p>\n<p>conflicts, terrorism, general strikes, or unforeseeable administrative decisions making<\/p>\n<p>performance of the contract impossible.<\/p>\n<h3><b>13.
