Accommodation Stipulations・Terms of Use

Scope

Article 1: The Accommodation Contract signed between our hotel and the lodger, as well as any contracted relating to it, is based on the provisions set forth herein; and all items not set forth in these stipulations shall be based on law and generally established custom.

• (2)　Date of stay or expected time of arrival
• (3)　Cost of stay (as a rule, based on the basic accommodation fees given in Table 1)
• (4)　Other items deemed necessary by our hotel

2 If a lodger, during his/her stay, applies to extend that stay behind the date of stay given in previous item (2), our hotel shall process that application as an application for a new Accommodation Contract.

Establishment of the Accommodation Contract

Article 3: The Accommodation Contract shall be established once our hotel has consented to the application of the preceding Article. However, our hotel does not necessarily have to demonstrate proof of non-approval.

3 The application amount shall be applied, firstly, to the final accommodation fee that the lodger must pay; and if a situation to which the provisions of Article 6 or Article 18 apply arises, the application amount shall be applied in order of compensation for breach of contract; and any remaining amount shall be returned when the fee is paid, as per the provisions of Article 12.

4 If our hotel does not receive the application amount mentioned in Clause 2 by the date specified by our hotel as per the provisions of the same Clause, the Accommodation Contract will cease to be in effect. However, this is limited to instances in which a payment date for the application amount has been specified and our hotel has notified the lodger to that effect.

Special Contract Not Requiring Payment of the Application Amount

Article 4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 2 of the previous Article, our hotel may enter into a special contract not requiring payment of the application amount from the same Clause following establishment of the Accommodation Contract.

2 When accepting an application for an Accommodation Contract, the situation may be handled as though our hotel entered into the special contract mentioned in the previous Clause if our hotel does not seek the payment set forth in Clause 2 of the previous Article, or if our hotel has not specified a payment date for the relevant application amount.

However, if our hotel has accepted a special contract as per Article 4 Clause 1, the result of accepting that special contract shall be such that the obligation to pay the breach-of-contract amount if the lodger has cancelled the Accommodation Contract shall be limited to instances in which our hotel has notified the lodger.
