Payment terms and conditions.

These terms and conditions (as may be amended from time to time) apply to all our services directly or indirectly (through distributors) made available online, through any mobile device, by email or by telephone. By accessing, browsing and using our (mobile) website or any of our applications through whatever platform (hereafter collectively referred to as the “website”) and/or by completing a reservation, you acknowledge and agree to have read, understood and agreed to the terms and conditions set out below (including the privacy statement)

Through the website, Help Italy Accommodation S.R.L. provides an online platform on which clients can make reservations. By making a reservation through the website, you enter into a direct, legally binding, contractual relationship with the company since a product has been purchased, although the rental contract will be physically signed at the check-in.

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.

All room prices are per room and the monthly rent without expenses is displayed including VAT and all other taxes, unless stated differently on our website, or in the communication before the check-in or during the check-in. The shown price is for individual use only. The prices for couples, if applicable, have a supplement. The prices (with included taxes) are always subject to possible modifications. Obvious errors (including misprints) are not binding.

For the reservation to be valid, accepted and confirmed, it is necessary to make the payment at the moment of the reservation. The payment method will happen by means of secure online payment (with debit/credit card or PayPal). The payment is safely processed from your credit/debit card or bank account to the bank account of the company through an extern party payment processor.

Bank transfers will be accepted as a payment method with prior authorisation from Help Italy Accommodation S.R.L. The company is not liable for any additional fee derived of the use of this method of payment.

The company is not responsible in case of fraud or unauthorised use of your credit card by third parties.
