Terms & Conditions for hotel bookings

 

The hotel booking is managed online via Bucher Travel, Inc. as intermediary. Booking will be accepted as long as the requested services are available. Booking will be considered as confirmed only after receiving the confirmation email. With the confirmation, the customer has accepted the general conditions listed below, mainly those concerning the price, cancellation and payment conditions.

Pricing and booking guarantee:
All mentioned rates are in Swiss Francs (CHF) net including service, taxes and 3.8% VAT. The customer will pay all services at the hotel. However, upon booking, a credit card (valid at the arrival date) is requested to guarantee the reservation. Bucher Travel, Inc. will not accept bookings with invalid credit card information.

Early booking discount:
All hotel bookings made by April 12, 2017 and pre-paid by credit card via Bucher Travel will get
a early booking discount of 5% on the room rate excl. taxes. The participant may choose this option in the booking / registration form. Pre-paid hotel bookings are non-refundable.

Cancellations and changes (by customer):
Confirmed bookings may be cancelled or changed free of charge until June 02, 2017, 12:00 Noon. For all changes and cancellations after that date, the costs of minimum one night will be invoiced or charged on the customer’s credit card. All changes and cancellations must be communicated in writing by email (booking@buchertravel.ch). The hotels do not accept direct cancellations.

Cancellations and changes (by Bucher Travel, Inc.):
