4.4 Inna.lk Managed Payment Agency Model

 

4.4.1 The Accommodation agrees and acknowledges that Inna.lk may - from time to time and in certain jurisdictions and for certain properties - offer and facilitate (alternative) payment methods (managed by Inna.lk or other third party) (each a " Inna.lk Managed Payment Agency Model") for the (pre-/down) payment of the Room Price (as defined below) by Guests through a third party payment processor (as from time to time engaged by Inna.lk; the relevant party processing the payment hereafter the " Payment Processor") to the Accommodation pursuant to which (as available) bank transfer, credit card payments or other forms of online payment can be made and processed through the payment platform of the Payment Processor for and on behalf of the Accommodation.

 

4.4.2 The Accommodation agrees and acknowledges that for each reservation, the relevant total amount of the reservation (including all applicable Taxes, VAT, fees, extra's and add-ons made or included during the reservation process (e.g. breakfast) to the extent disclosed to Inna.lk by the Accommodation (unless indicated otherwise by Inna.lk) will be collected and processed by the Payment Processor (the relevant amount hereafter the " Room Price") in accordance with the applicable payment policy of the Accommodation for the relevant reservation and disclosed on the Platform.

 

4.4.3  The Accommodation agrees and acknowledges that Inna.lk may from time to time use and utilize the Inna.lk Managed Payment Agency Model (including other (online) payment methods such as virtual credit cards) for (i) (pre-/down) payment of the Room Price by the Guest to the Accommodation through the Payment Processor, and (ii) settlement and payment of the due and outstanding Commission by setting off the due and outstanding Commissions and such other amounts due by the Accommodation to Inna.lk (including the fee and costs for the collection, transfer, conversion and pay out of the relevant funds) with the total amount of all the Room Prices processed at any time through the Payment Processor. Insofar there are insufficient funds to settle and pay all amounts due to Inna.lk, Inna.lk shall be entitled to collect the relevant deficit by means of Direct Debit (if available) or the Accommodation shall within 7 days upon first written request of Inna.lk pay the relevant deficit to such bank account as from time to time identified by Inna.lk.

 

4.4.4  The Accommodation agrees and acknowledges that it is -at all times- responsible for the collection, remittance, withholding and payment to the relevant (tax) authorities (as applicable) of the relevant Taxes, (sur)charges, extra's and fees over the Room Price (including the relevant Taxes, (sur)charges, extra's, amounts and fees not included in the Room Price) and remittance, withholding and payment (as applicable) of the Taxes over the Commission, to the relevant tax authorities. Unless Inna.lk has indicated that certain Taxes, fees, charges add-ons (e.g. breakfast) or other amounts are not included Room Price (the "Excluded Elements"), the

Accommodation shall not further charge, request payment of or collect any amount from the Guest that has not already been included in the Room Price (save for the Excluded Elements (if applicable)).

 

4.4.5 In order to transfer the relevant collected amount (after deducting and set-off with the due and outstanding Commissions and such other amounts due to Inna.lk), the Accommodation shall provide Inna.lk with the relevant bank details to which the relevant amount shall paid. Payment of the relevant collected Room Price shall be made approximately 2 weeks before the relevant check-in date to which the Room Price is related (the " Payment Date") or such later date insofar the Payment Processor has not collected the full amount of the Room Price, in which event payment shall be made within approximately 5 business days upon receipt of the full amount of the Room Price (unless indicated otherwise by Inna.lk). The Accommodation acknowledges that the first payment shall only be made upon materialization of the first reservation. The Accommodation accepts and acknowledges that due to fluctuating currency exchange rates and costs/fees charged by banks, credit card companies and other intermediaries (for the collection, processing and paying the relevant funds), there may be differences between Room Price (as uploaded by the Accommodation in the system), the collected amount and the amount paid to the Accommodation. The Accommodation shall bear the currency exchange risk and the costs and fees as charged by the credit card companies and banks for the collection, transfer, payment and conversion of the Room Price; whereas Inna.lk shall charge the Accommodation a fee as set out in the extranet for the Inna.lk Managed Payment Agency Model services to cover the costs and fees. The funds held by the Payment Processor or any other party for and on behalf of the Accommodation will not bear any interest.

 

4.4.6 In the event of a charge back, or an unsuccessful charge or collection of (all or part of) the Room Price (which shall be at the Accommodation's risk and account), Inna.lk shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ask the Guest to provide an alternative payment method. If the Guest is unable or unwilling to do this or in the event of a charge back, Inna.lk reserves the right to (a) cancel the reservation and promptly inform the Accommodation accordingly, or (b) inform the Accommodation and cancel the reservation upon the Accommodation's request. In the event of a cancellation, the Commission shall be charged in accordance with Clause 4.4.8. The Accommodation agrees and acknowledges that Inna.lk shall use commercially reasonable efforts to procure that the Room Price shall be collected in accordance with the relevant payment policy of the reservation disclosed on the Platform, but Inna.lk shall be under no obligation whatsoever or howsoever to collect (in or outside court) or pay the Room Price (or any interest or collection fee) insofar the collection cannot be (in whole or in part) successfully made by the Payment Processor upon making the reservation or any subsequent due date for payment of the remaining amount under the offered (down) payment policy (if applicable). Any failure of collection, or any refund or charge back of (all or part of) the Room Price (each a "Payment Issue") shall be for the risk and account of the Accommodation and in the event of a Payment Issue, the Accommodation waives its right to claim payment of (the remaining part of) the Room Price from Inna.lk or the Payment Processor. Insofar a Guest has made a charge back, or if Inna.lk is required by law, court order, (semi) governmental instruction or orders, arbitrational decision (or similar ruling), subpoena or cancellation policy to make a refund, of all or part of the Room Price, Inna.lk reserves the right to claim from the Accommodation repayment of such amount (re)paid to Guest (and received by the Accommodation).

 

4.4.7  Insofar the Accommodation agrees to a refund of a wholly or partly paid non-refundable Room Price (or part thereof), Inna.lk shall be entitled to settle the relevant amount paid to the Guest with other amounts collected by the Payment Processor or - if requested by the Accommodation and approved by Inna.lk - the relevant amount shall be paid and transferred to Inna.lk within 14 days upon approval by Inna.lk.

 

4.4.8  In the event of a no-show or cancellation, Inna.lk shall be entitled to charge commission over the relevant amount of the room price collected and transferred to the Accommodation. In the event of an overbooking, the Commission shall be calculated in accordance with Clause 2.3.2.

 

4.4.9  The Accommodation shall only issue an invoice to the Guest (and provide such Guest upon his/her first request with an invoice) for the full amount of the reservation (including or plus (as required by applicable laws) of all applicable Taxes, VAT, surcharges and fees). The Accommodation shall not invoice (or send an invoice to) Inna.lk for the reservation or stay.
