Terms and Conditions
Welcome to My Destination Nation. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using our website and services. By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
Company Introduction
We are Destination Nation Limited, whose registered office is 2nd Floor Gadd House Arcadia Avenue London N3 2JU United Kingdom (“us”, “we”, “our”) is the UK’s independent serviced apartment agent and we provide reservation and payment services to enable our clients (“you”) to reserve serviced apartments worldwide (“Reservations”) which are provided by our various apartment providers (our “Apartment Providers / Suppliers”).
Reservation Terms
You agree that your Reservation will be strictly subject to these terms and conditions (“Terms”) and that in relation to your Reservation and use of the apartment you agree to be strictly bound by these Terms and by any general policies, rules, terms or conditions of the Apartment Provider (the “Apartment Provider’s General Policies”). If you’re making the Reservation on somebody else’s behalf and/or any other third party will be making use of the serviced apartments you, in addition, will procure their compliance at all times with such Terms and the Apartment Provider’s General Policies as if they were referred to as you under these Terms. In the event of such a party breaching any of these Terms or the Apartment Provider’s General Policies such a breach will for the purpose of these Terms be considered a breach by you. If we don’t supply the Apartment Provider’s General Policies then it’s your responsibility to establish with the Apartment Provider the basis on which they make the serviced apartment available and whether any Apartment Provider General Policies apply.
Booking Process and Reservation Procedures
- You can make an enquiry about reserving a serviced apartment (a “Reservation Request”) through our website (www.mydestinationnationcom ) (“Site”), by phone or by email and we’ll endeavour to respond with some suitable apartment options and suggestions that meet your requirements. If we’re unable to offer suitable suggestions our team will be in touch to discuss other options. Please be aware that all serviced apartment options presented in response to your Reservation Requests are subject to availability.
- Once we’ve received your confirmation to make a reservation, we’ll endeavour to make that reservation and ensure the apartment is on hold. Your instructions to make a Reservation will be deemed an offer by you which will only be deemed accepted once the Apartment Provider has accepted your Reservation.
- If your Reservation is accepted, we will send you the “Apartment Reservation Confirmation” which will amongst other things confirm the dates of your stay, the charges to be paid by you (“Apartment Charges”), the relevant payment terms, check-in and check-out times, cancellation terms and property contact details. In the event that we’ve not been able to secure your Reservation, we will notify you immediately and if possible, suggest suitable alternative apartments options.
Our Role and Responsibilities
- As a serviced apartment booking agency, we provide information and details on our website, in relation to corporate housing and serviced apartments. If you inform us to make a Reservation, we will, as detailed in clause 2 above, endeavour to make the Reservation on your behalf, with the apartment provider/supplier.
- Once we’ve received payment of the Apartment Charges from you in respect of a Reservation you’ve made, we’ll process these payments, and arrange for the appropriate payment to be made to the relevant Apartment Provider.
Payment
Payment is required at the time of booking, unless otherwise agreed or set forth in the reservation information. If payment does not reach us at the required time, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel any booking made. Any late payments will result in interest being charged at 3% above Bank of England base rate for the period concerned.
Payment should be made by Bank Transfer. (Bank details are available on request as are other payment methods, online secure payments and or client agreed payment terms)
Tax
The Apartment rates are given exclusive of any “Local Sales Tax” being any sales tax which is levied upon the provision of the Apartment. We will always provide you with information of any City Sales Tax you have to pay. For example, in the United Kingdom, London the VAT is payable at 20% on the first 28 nights of a stay and then at 4% from night 29 onwards of your stay.
We shall notify you if the position regarding Sales Tax changes between the date your Reservation is confirmed by us and the date of your stay at the Apartment. In such circumstances, and if necessary to comply with applicable law, where the Sales Tax (1), has increased, we will require you to pay any additional Sales Tax, (2) has reduced, we shall refund any overpayment of Sales Tax to you.
Pricing
The rates we advertise are to the best of our knowledge correct at the date of publication but we reserve the right to change any rates in line with market prices. Prior to the booking being confirmed rates quoted are based on the rates prevailing at the time but may be subject to change. Once a booking has been confirmed we will not change the rate quoted unless you amend the booking dates or our cost of supplying the accommodation changes as a result of tax changes or currency fluctuations beyond our control.
Information Required
To process your Reservation and secure a reservation, we will require certain assistance and information from you, such as your contact details, the number of guests staying, their names and contact details, ID etc. You agree that you’ll promptly provide us with all such assistance and information that we may require during the booking process and in relation to the information that it will be accurate, complete and up-to-date. Furthermore, you agree to notify us, if there are any changes to such information.
Data Protection
Any information you provide to us will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Where you provide us with information about a third party (including Guests), you confirm that you have their authority to provide such information to us, for use in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that we may pass information to the Apartment Providers and we will not be responsible for the use made by them of that information.
Changes, Extensions and Cancellations
All requests for changes, extensions and cancellations must be made in writing directly to your Destination Nation representative. Failure to extend, cancel or modify your reservation or booking directly with Destination Nation may result in you being liable to pay us the full amount of the booking.
Booking Changes
If you wish to change any detail of your confirmed booking Destination Nation will use all reasonable efforts to make the change. All changes of dates are subject to availability. Should any change be rejected, you will be responsible for the original booking. Name changes or child age changes will not incur any charges or administration fees.
Extensions
If you wish to extend a reservation, please give your Destination Nation representative as much notice as possible in order to facilitate your request. All extensions are subject to availability and potential rate change. Where notice to extend a stay has been given, we will only confirm this only when additional payment has been made in accordance with your booking details.
Cancellations and Early Departures
Your cancellation policy is clarified at the time of enquiry or booking and upon request.
Early Departures: Destination Nation reserves the right to treat an early departure or reduction in the number of nights or apartments booked as a cancellation and apartments may then be re-let and cancellation charges will apply. If pricing is provided based on a minimum length of stay and the total number of nights reduces as a result of early departure, we reserve the right to increase the rate per night, retrospectively, from the first day of the reservation.
Non-arrivals: will be treated as a cancellation and you will be responsible for the cancellation fee. Note that transaction fees are not refundable in the event of a cancellation.
Liability
We will provide you with reasonable assistance if you have an issue in respect of the Reservations, the Apartment, your use of it or any acts or omissions of the Apartment Provider (Apartment Issue). Please contact us immediately if you have an Apartment Issue. We will try to help, including taking the Apartment Issue up with the Apartment Provider.
Destination Nation ltd act as a reservation agent for and on behalf of our Apartment Providers and liaise with the Apartment Provider to complete the Reservation on your behalf. We do not own any of the Apartments featured on our Website. The Apartments are owned and operated by the Apartment Providers or suppliers, or owned by third party landlords who appoint the Apartment Providers to take reservations for the Apartments on the landlord’s behalf or allow Apartment Providers to take reservations on their own behalf.
