This also includes reasonable lawyer and court fees.
Reviews
1. In certain cases, the Services allow the User to submit a review about a restaurant listed on Quandoo (e.g. after a reservation made through the reservation function or after redeeming a Quandoo Smart Offer).
2. The review may be positive, neutral or negative, based on the User's individual decision and experience and will not be edited by Quandoo. The review must not violate the relevant rules outlined in these GTC or any applicable law.

5. As outlined in section 3 above, the User grants Quandoo any rights of use for potentially legally protected contents of any submitted reviews that may be necessary to carry out Quandoo services, but remains solely responsible for their reviews and the owner of any content rights relating to the review. This right of use applies to Quandoo's own channels (= Quandoo domains, Quandoo app) as well as to Quandoo cooperation partners (= third-part-providers which are linking to or marketing the Quandoo-channels); jointly the "Quandoo network".
6. Without prejudice to other rights, Quandoo reserves the right to deactivate the review function and/or other Quandoo services for a User if the User violates the relevant terms of these GTC or fails to uphold any applicable law several times when submitting reviews, despite being informed hereof.
Reservations, Reservation Functions
1. The User can make online or telephone reservations via the Quandoo reservation network (e.g. Quandoo Services, Quandoo Portal, Quandoo Mobile App, Quandoo Affiliates Network, etc.) with restaurants that take part in the Quandoo reservation system (hereinafter "Partner" or "Partners"). The reservation is agreed exclusively between the Partner and the User as procured by Quandoo, whereby Quandoo does not act as a representative, but only as a messenger. For restaurants listed in the Services which are not Partners of the Quandoo reservation system (hereinafter "Listed Restaurant"), the User may contact the Listed Restaurant and place an informal reservation (e.g. by telephone, e-mail or contact form using the contact information provided by the Listed Restaurant in the listing) directly, e.g. not via the Quandoo reservation system and without the procurement or involvement of Quandoo.
2. The Quandoo reservation function is a Quandoo service provided free of charge to the User, save for the exceptions as stipulated in section 5.6 below. The reservation feature includes an automatic check of the Partner's expected available capacity at the time of the desired reservation. This expected available capacity is calculated at the time of the User's request and is based on saved settings, existing reservations and other settings provided by the Partner. The Partner is exclusively responsible for maintaining and keeping their settings up to date. With the exception of the technical functioning of the Service, Quandoo accepts no liability for availability or the success of reservations with the Partner chosen by the User.
3. Quandoo will inform the User via e-mail about the status of their reservation request and any changes, if applicable. If the reservation is made more than seven (7) days in advance, Quandoo will send the User a reminder forty-eight (48) hours before the time of the reservation by e-mail. An invitation to review the Partner will be sent via e-mail within 7 days after the reservation.
4. The User may be requested to provide Quandoo with their debit card or credit card details when making a reservation with one of the Partners, e.g. for additional services or measures like "Smart Offers" or "Cancellation Fee" etc.
5. If unable to honor a reservation, the User must cancel the reservation as soon as possible and no later than the time specified at the time of placing the reservation and in the e-mail confirming the placement of the reservation (the "Cancellation Cut-Off Time"). To cancel, the User may either use the link in the confirmation e-mail or go through the "Reservations" section of their User account.
6. If the User cancels a reservation after the Cancellation Cut-Off Time or does not show up to honor a reservation, the User agrees to pay any applicable cancellation fee to Quandoo (the "Cancellation Fee") which may apply in three amounts, 100%, 50%, 20% of the full Cancellation Fee as displayed online during reservation process. The User will be informed of the Cancellation Fee by Quandoo when placing their reservation. The User authorizes Quandoo to charge the cancellation fee to the debit card or credit card details provided by the User to Quandoo when making the reservation.
7. Other rights notwithstanding, Quandoo reserves the right to deactivate the reservation feature and/or other features of the Services for the User if the User does not honor several reservations without canceling them ("no-show"), if Quandoo has already informed the User hereof to no effect. The Partner's rights relating to reservations or no-shows remain unaffected.
Smart Offers

Subject of Contract
1. Quandoo may present so-called "Smart Offers" to Users. Smart Offers include (i.) the concession for Smart Offers without pre-payment (discounts/value offs) and (ii.) the distribution of Smart Offers with pre-payments (pre-paid credit/pre-paid menu) for (iii.) use in the Partner's business (Restaurants) which Quandoo passes on or sells to Users through the Services. Smart Offers may be free of charge or subject to a fee, are always connected to specific reservations and may be subject to further conditions and/or requirements. The proper fulfilment of Smart Offers remains in the exclusive responsibility of the Partner.
Provisions for pre-paid Smart Offer (sub-sections 6.2 – 6.16)
1. Within the Services, Quandoo may offer Users the chance to purchase Smart Offers for the provision of services and/or goods (hereinafter the "Partner Services") from restaurants and/or other businesses on Quandoo's own account and in Quandoo's own name. The sale of Smart Offer covers the sale of the right to be provided with the specific service or good(s) outlined in the Smart Offer by the restaurant offering the Smart Offer. The Partner, and not Quandoo, is the exclusive publisher of the Smart Offer and the User's contractual partner for the service outlined in the respective Smart Offer. Quandoo's duty within the framework of the Smart Offer sale is, therefore, limited to procure the User's right against the Partner for the provision of the service outlined in the respective Smart Offer in accordance with the Smart Offer conditions outlined in the Smart Offer and, if applicable, the Partner's General Terms and Conditions. Quandoo reserves the right to establish and/or change individual conditions including, without being limited hereto, the purchasing period and the number of Smart Offers offered for sale. Please see the section on the rights of revocation applicable to consumers and the standard form for revocation at the end of this document.
2. The specified partner is the exclusive publisher of the Smart Offer and the User's contractual partner for the Partner Service outlined in the Smart Offer. The Partner provides this service based on a contract with the User arising from the User redeeming the Smart Offer. The contract may be subject to the Partner's additional General Terms and Conditions, if applicable. The sale of the Smart Offer from Quandoo to the User is a purchase of rights relating to the User's options to be provided with a Partner Service based on a contract between the User and the Partner. Quandoo is therefore not responsible for providing the Partner Service.
3. The Smart Offers sold by Quandoo refer to, for example, a specific service (Partner's product and/or service), based on the conditions defined in the Smart Offer description (hereinafter the "Smart Offer Conditions"). The Smart Offer Conditions may outline, for example, the term during which the Smart Offer may be redeemed from the Partner (hereinafter the "Validity Period") and whether specific additional conditions or limitations apply, e.g. limited capacity for different possible redemption times within the Validity Period. Quandoo recommends that the User confirms the time of the service, if and when necessary according to the Smart Offer Conditions, individually with the Partner. The Smart Offer Conditions are available in the Smart Offer ordering dialogue, and form a valid part of the Smart Offer purchase contract.
Contract conclusion
1. The Smart Offer purchase contract is subject to (i.) the User's successful payment of the Smart Offer price to Quandoo, and Quandoo's acceptance of the purchase order via the online ordering dialogue provided for this purpose and (ii.) the confirmation of the reservation.
2. If the Smart Offer cannot be provided within the purchase term due to unforeseen reasons, Quandoo shall not accept the User's purchase offer so that no Smart Offer purchase contract will be concluded between Quandoo and the User. The User will be informed accordingly by e-mail. Any payment already provided by the User will be refunded by Quandoo immediately, if applicable.
3. Quandoo's Smart Offer offers are directed at consumers for private use only. The User may not use Smart Offers for commercial or professional purposes, especially commercial trade or other commercial or professional use of Smart Offers (e.g. for competitions, raffles, auctions or otherwise free distribution for marketing purposes), unless otherwise agreed in writing between Quandoo and the User . Smart Offers may be transferred to other Users.
Warranty
1. With the Smart Offer sale, Quandoo warrants to provide the User with the right to claim the service from the Partner, as outlined in the Smart Offer, subject to the respective Smart Offer conditions and to the Partner's General Terms and Conditions, if applicable. This warranty includes the continued survival of rights for the provided right, and the right being free from third parties' rights and obligations at the time of the Smart Offer sale (warranty of the survival of rights).
2. The provision of the service outlined on the Smart Offer is solely owed by the Partner. Quandoo assumes no liability for the proper redemption of the Smart Offer by the Partner or the Partner's services. This exclusion includes the partner's credit-rating and ability to perform (no warranty of redemption).
3. As the User's contractual partner, the Partner is solely responsible for the proper provision of service. Quandoo assumes no liability for the Partner's proper provision of services. This applies also to the quality of the service outlined in the Smart Offer, including external circumstances e.g. relating to the service, atmosphere and the upholding of appointments (no warranty for defects of performance)
Conditions for Redeeming and Returning
1. Smart Offers are directly connected to the reservation and confirmed within the reservation confirmation.
2. To redeem the Smart Offer, the User needs to honor his reservation with the Partner who must confirm the User's visit to Quandoo.
3. The purchased Smart Offer must be redeemed at the Partner's business at the confirmation date and time. Any unused or expired Smart Offers not claimed during the confirmed reservation may not be exchanged; to the User may not claim a reimbursement for the purchased Smart Offer from Quandoo.
4. Unless otherwise agreed, the service outlined in the Smart Offer may only be claimed once by the User from the Partner. If the bearer of the Smart Offer does not make use of the Partner service or the Smart Offer value in full, he/she is no entitled to a claim refund, credit or any other compensation of the remaining amount.
5. All clauses applicable to Smart Offer purchases which not directly govern payments, also apply to Smart Offer which are free of charge (e.g. free Smart Offer entry for specific events), in particular section 6.2 3rd sentence; 6.3 1st and 3rd sentence; 6.4 2nd and 4th sentence; 6.6 1st sentence; 6.10; and 6.12.
6. In case of questions concerning Quandoo Smart Offer sales or Smart Offer conditions, complaints or comments, please contact Quandoo's service team by phone at (800) 3211 166, or e-mail us at service.sg@quandoo.com.
Provision for Smart Offers without pre-payment (No. 6.17 – 6.19)
1. Discounts/Value-offs mean price reductions the Partner offers to Users of the Quandoo-Network regarding specific reservations. For the concession of discounts/value-offs specific reductions on prices and other pre-defined conditions are displayed during the course of the reservation using the Services. Details applicable to the discounts or value-offs, shall be provided in that context, particularly pertaining to amounts and timeframes.
2. Discounts and value-offs only apply to a specific reservation placed by the User and may not be transferred to other reservations. The respective reservation must be kept for the User to be eligible to claim the discount or value-off.
3. All clauses applicable to Smart Offer purchases which not directly govern payments, also apply to Smart Offer which are free of charge (e.g. free Smart Offer entry for specific events), in particular section 6.2 3rd sentence; 6.3 1st and 3rd sentence; 6.4 2nd and 4th sentence; 6.6 1st sentence; 6.10; and 6.12.
Loyalty Point Program
1. Quandoo has a loyalty points program, e.g. loyalty points may be collected for certain activities and be redeemed subject to specific conditions for bonuses (e.g. Smart Offers) and/or Cashback. Each registered user may participate in the Quandoo loyalty points program subject to (i) these GTC and (ii) the specific conditions for collecting and redeeming loyalty points for certain activities (e.g. making a reservation using the service, buying a Smart Offer, submitting a review, recommending Quandoo to new users) current at the time of using certain features.
2. In addition to these GTC, Quandoo also provides details for collecting and redeeming loyalty points, including the required number of loyalty points, as well as the bonuses and partners offering such bonuses, in the relevant entries and entry masks within the services. Though such terms may change at any time, the details and the offer at the time of the user activity acquiring loyalty points, or at the time of redeeming loyalty points, as the case may be, shall apply.
3. Quandoo may determine that a user must accumulate a certain number of loyalty points (e.g. 1.000), reach a predefined status, or meet certain criteria (e.g. successfully upholding a reservation) before being eligible to redeem accumulated loyalty points for bonuses and/or Cashback.
4. Loyalty points awarded for placing a reservation may only be acquired if the user (i) made the reservation using the services and (ii) successfully executes the reservation. If the user does not show up for the reservation, cancels the reservation or does not honor the reservation for any other reason, loyalty points shall not be awarded.
5. Loyalty points awarded for the purchase of a Smart Offer may only be acquired if the user (i) purchased the Smart Offer through the Quandoo website or mobile app and (ii) paid for the Smart Offer. If the user exercises his legal right of revocation or the Smart Offer has no validity for any other reason not accounted for by Quandoo, loyalty points shall not be awarded.
6. Users may view their current score of loyalty points in their account on the Quandoo website. Quandoo may also inform users via email. If the user redeems accumulated loyalty points, Quandoo shall send the user an email asking for information, like their bank account details for cash back payments. If it is necessary, as a result of redeeming loyalty points, to make the bonus available (e.g. sending a Smart Offer), this will be done by either email or regular mail. If the bonus is a restaurant Smart Offer, the Smart Offer conditions of these GTC shall apply, as appropriate.
7. Accumulated loyalty points may only be redeemed from Quandoo for bonuses and/or Cashback offered by Quandoo for this purpose. Loyalty points are tied to the individual user and cannot be sold or otherwise transferred to third parties without permission from Quandoo.
8. Any accumulated loyalty points shall expire if not redeemed within 180 days after the last reservation via the Quandoo platform. Loyalty points shall also expire if a user account is cancelled (section 2.5), deactivated (sections 4.6 and 5.5) or if the contract between Quandoo and the user ends for any other reason. In addition, Quandoo may notify the user about their loyalty points expiration by email or regular mail.
9. Quandoo reserves the right to discontinue the loyalty points program at any time. After discontinuation, users may not accumulate any new loyalty points. Loyalty points accumulated prior to the discontinuation of the program shall remain valid for 90 days, unless expiring earlier according to subsection. 7.8.
10. The user is solely responsible for any possible and/or existing tax obligations arising from the user's participation in the loyalty points program.
Quandoo Liability, No Liability for Information
1. Quandoo only assumes liability for damages on the merits of (i) intent or gross negligence by Quandoo or Quandoo's legal representatives or vicarious agents, (2) injury to life, body or health caused by breach of duty by Quandoo or Quandoo's legal representatives or vicarious agents, (3) fraudulent misrepresentation or assumption of a guarantee, also according to the Product Liability Act, if applicable, and (4) a breach of a duty or obligation material for the fulfillment of the contract the User regularly relies on (material contractual obligation).
2. Quandoo's liability according to subsections (1), (2) and (3) above is unlimited. Moreover, any claims for damages are limited to contract-typical, foreseeable damages.
3. In any other cases and without prejudice to the following sections, Quandoo's liability is excluded – regardless of the legal liability theory.
4. The above liability limitations apply to all Quandoo institutions, employees and vicarious agents. This does not alter the statutory burden of proof.
5. Unless otherwise agreed with the User, Quandoo does not warranty that the information concerning restaurants listed in the Service, or other businesses, is correct and current (including addresses and other contact information, prices and facilities/services, opening times, review content, links and content on any linked sites).
Availability/Service Level

The yearly average service availability is 97%, with the exception of reasonable, customary maintenance work scheduled and announced with adequate advance notice, as well as force majeure incidents or any other circumstances not arising from within Quandoo's sphere of influence. Availability is the ratio of actual time (AT) to target time (TT): Availability(%)=(AT/TT) *100. Actual time (AT) is the time period where the service is actually available on the data center's router output.

10. Applicable Law, No Additional Agreements, Place of Fulfillment, Place of Jurisdiction

These GTC are construed according to and governed by the laws and England and Wales, expressly excluding the UN Sales Convention. There are no additional verbal or written agreements.
If any provision in these GTC are or becomes partially or in whole invalid or are held to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of these GTC shall remain unaffected and continue in full force and effect. The same shall apply to unintentionally omitted provisions. Invalid, unenforceable or missing provisions shall be replaced by valid and enforceable provisions which come closest to the intended purposes.
