Definition El Mouradi Hotels: all the companies mentioned above
A “Bon de commande” – order form or “Voucher”: means the reservation has been confirmed

Contract: means this contract, its appendices and all other constitutive documents and written agreements which the parties could adopt whilst the contract is in force.
1. Introduction
The sales conditions as described below are an integral part of the contract concluded between you and the El Mouradi Hotels. Please read them attentively before making any reservation through our web site (www.elmouradi.com ).
2. Prior Information
Before concluding your reservation contract, on the internet site (www.elmouradi.com ) you will find all the information about the prices, dates and constitutive elements of your stay such as: where the hotel is situated, hotel category, level of comfort, main characteristics, classification according to the El Mouradi Hotels criteria and country practices, the amount, reductions, percentage, payment schedule, cancellation conditions etc.
The web site is updated every day and changes may be made before your reservation which are re-updated in our computer system as we go along. Once you have consulted all the information, the voucher is considered as the only contractual element of the reservation.
Once you have accepted the prices given in the Voucher as well as the information about the chosen hotel, then this means that a definitive contract has been concluded.
3. Validity of Offer
Our offers are subject to availability at the time of registration.
Our prices are expressed in Tunisian Dinars, Euros, American Dollars and Pound Sterling and per person for accommodation with breakfast on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing on the day of the offer or publication. The overall amounts must be checked at the time of registration and they do not include the following: any eventual governmental taxes which were not in force on the day of registration, additional insurance policies, personal expenses, drinks, telephone calls, extras, fax, down-payments for hiring various equipment, excess luggage, down-payments, costs or penalties for breaking local laws, excursions and in general any other services which are not expressly included in the “voucher”.
4. Registration, conclusion of contract and conditions of payment:
Reservations are made through the internet and paid for directly through the bank card. Transaction security is ensured by the “SPS Monétique services “ (Credit Card Payments Securitization Server ). A reservation confirmation is sent to you directly to the address you have given during your registration. This confirmation includes the reservation amount, the reservation details and the payment mode, transfer number, number of rooms reserved, number of persons, email address and the desired arrangement.
Any person making a fraudulent reservation will be held responsible and will be taken to court under the relevant jurisdiction.Any particular request made at the reservation office does not incur the responsibility of the El Mouradi Hotels for fulfilling the request unless the El Mouradi Hotels had expressly confirmed this in writing.5. Services and Prices All the hotels classified in the same category (3*, 4*, 5* ) are not necessarily similar and special and promotional offers do not apply to them all.
Each hotel in the El Mouradi chain of hotels has its own specificities and characteristics as described in the offer information.
To be paid on the spot:
Any particular services you requested as well as some additional costs (such as cleaning, linen, beach towels, chaise longue (reclining chair) drinks, safes, treatment course, baby-sitting…..). These services vary depending on the hotel’s category (3*, 4*, 5* ) and the services offered.
6. Change in prices and Services
The descriptions of the hotels and the way the prices are calculated is done very carefully. Your payment implies your acceptance of the contract terms and any changes pointed out on the web site. However, the same case may arise after the conclusion of the contract even though this is unlikely but cannot be excluded. If the change is an important one affecting an essential point in your contract ( for example, non availability of your accommodation because of urgent works ), then you are entitled to cancel your contract without incurring any costs within 3 days following the date when you received the information. Any sums you have already paid will be reimbursed upon agreement with the services concerned.
7. Shortened or prolonged Stay
If you wish to extend your stay please submit your request in good time to the hotel reservation office concerned or our commercial service to check whether this is possible depending on availability at the hotel concerned. The client will not be reimbursed if he shortens his stay for reasons of his own.
8. No Show (cancellation without prior notice)
In case of NO SHOW or cancellation without prior notice, the hotel reserves the right to bill the client 100 % of the reserved accommodation services amount covering the whole period of his stay.
9. Contract cancellation by the client:
The cancellation must be confirmed in writing in all cases (mail, fax or email) and it is the date of writing that will be taken into account. If the cancellation takes place on a public holiday, the time period will be counted from the first working day after the public holiday. Any justified cancellation subject to a cancellation request by the customer will be replaced by a voucher as an alternative in all El Mouradi hotels, valid for one year from the initial date.
You have 14 days in which to cancel your reservation starting from the reservation date indicated on your Voucher and this period starts from the date you made your reservation on our site.
All cancellations must be previously notified to the reservation service of the hotel concerned or the commercial service at the following address: reservation@elmouradi.com.
The same applies to a change in names and any change in names will be considered as a cancellation.
10. Client’s obligations
The reservation officer is authorized to refuse any surplus person not included in the reservation, be it an adult or child and irrespective of the age.
Domestic or other animals are strictly prohibited in the hotel.
Multiple Reservations
The client is not allowed to conclude several contracts for the same period with several hotels.
If the client infringes this rule then the hotel is entitled to cancel the contract unilaterally and the client will not be entitled to make any claims for compensation.
Rules of Good Conduct
Only food and drinks supplied by the hotel can be consumed at the hotel.
The hotel can stop providing all its services without prior notice or any compensation if the clients impede the smooth running of the hotel or if they endanger the reputation or security of the hotel.
11. Complaints and demands for Compensation
Complaints of a commercial nature or pertaining to the quality of the services provided must be addressed in writing on the spot at the hotel during the stay to the Service Quality of the hotel chain or written down in the Complaints Book available at the hotel reception.
Please note that any complaint made by fax, phone, simple mail or email or through any other means beyond the time limit, or not addressed to the service provider (s) concerned, will not be taken up. In case of a dispute the Sousse courts will be the only competent authorities.
El Mouradi Hotels do not accept any liability for any loss, damage or theft of luggage, clothes or personal objects under your own responsibility during the whole duration of your stay.
Safes are available for clients for safe-keeping your property.
Before you make a firm order, it is up to you to obtain information about any eventual local events such as carnivals, religious feasts, national feasts, public holidays and other events which could affect the good enjoyment of your stay. No complaints about this type of events can be later addressed to the El Mouradi Hotels.
12. Accommodation and your Stay:
Classification of hotel:
The number of stars attributed to the hotel as described in the hotel specification corresponds to a classification established with reference to local standards which can thus differ from French and European standards.
Activities and Services
Even though the activities indicated in the specifications are extant, some of the activities indicated in the specification may have to be deleted for climatic reasons, works going on in the hotel or in a case of force majeure, out-of-season stays, or when the minimum number of participants for a particular activity has not been obtained ( such as a collective sport, children’s club etc ). El Mouradi Hotels are not liable in such a case.
Some of the activities proposed may have some elements of risk especially for young children. El Mouradi Hotels are not liable in case of an incident or accident imputable to your lack of vigilance.
Taking your rooms and vacating them
Please note that the International Hotel and Catering rules state that clients can occupy their rooms from 12H onwards no matter when their plane lands and the rooms must be vacated at 12H no matter when their return flights happen to be.
Unfortunately no exception can be made to this rule except with the agreement of the hotel. Any room taken before 12 H or vacated after 12H will be considered as a bed-night and thus subject to additional payment.
Types of room:
Single rooms have a bed for 2 persons. Double rooms have two beds or very rarely, a double bed. Triple and quadruple rooms are often double rooms with additional beds.
Babies
We recommend that parents with babies bring with them food which is suitable for their child as they may not find the right baby food at the hotel. You may be asked to pay extra at the hotel, for example for warming up the food or baby bottles or setting up a cot.
Insurance
13. Force Majeure
By force majeure is meant an event beyond the control of the parties which is unpredictable and cannot be overcome and which prevents the client or El Mouradi Hotels from fulfilling part or all of the obligations stated in the contract.
It is expressly agreed upon that the same will apply to transport strikes, hotel staff strikes, air traffic control staff strikes, uprising, civil or foreign wars, acts of terrorism, hostage taking, manipulations of weapons or any sort of Prohibition proclaimed by the governmental or public authorities. It is expressly agreed upon that a case of force majeure means that the parties cannot carry out their reciprocal obligations.
Furthermore, each party will cover its own ensuing costs stemming from a case of force majeure. Consequently the clients will cover any additional costs so that they can continue with their journey due to the case of force majeure and the El Mouradi Hotels chain will have no liability whatsoever in such a case.
