The Company does not guarantee the actual bedding configuration (e.g. single, double, twin, queen or king-size bed) of the room type. Your bookings are forwarded to the hotel and are subjected to availability upon check-in. All additional special requests, including but not limited to non-smoking room, high-floor, particular orientation etc., are also subjected to availability and cannot be guaranteed by the Company.

In cases where the hotel is not able to honour your reservation due to overbooking, sudden increase of price, or any other circumstance, the Company endeavours to offer you an alternative hotel similar in standard. If this were to occur, the Company will contact you via email and/or phone. If you were to accept the alternative arrangement, the Company shall be deemed to have fulfilled its contractual obligations and you agree not to pursue any form of compensation from the Company, partner site and hotel. If you were to decline the alternative arrangement, a full refund of the amount paid by you to the Company will be made to you, and you agree to discharge the Company, partner site and hotel of all liabilities.

The Company is not liable for any claim against non-fulfillment or unsatisfactory fulfillment of products and services purchased from our hotel partners, partner sites, tour operators, car hire companies, insurance companies, and other entities found on our website.

Each product and service found on our website has their specific terms and conditions. Please refer to our website's and booking confirmation's terms and conditions, user agreement and privacy policy, and also the terms and conditions of the individual product and service before purchase.

6. CANCELLATION POLICY

By making purchase on our website, you agree to the Company's Cancellation Policy.

Hotels may implement cancellation policies that are different from the Company's. As such, additional cancellation charges may apply on top of the Company's cancellation charges, and you agree to bear these charges. In some cases, cancellation is prohibited and the booking becomes totally non-refundable.

Cancellation needs to be confirmed by the Company's hotel reservation staff. If for any reason, you do not receive confirmation of your cancellation from our reservation staff after submission, you need to email to us at enquiry@gemt.global.

7. AMENDMENT POLICY

By making purchase on our website, you agree to the Company's Amendment Policy.

Hotels may implement amendment policies that are different from the Company's. As such, additional amendment charges may apply on top of the Company's amendment charges, and you agree to bear these charges. In some cases, amendment is prohibited and the booking becomes totally non-refundable.

Amendment needs to be confirmed by the Company's hotel reservation staff. If for any reason, you do not receive confirmation of your amendment from our reservation staff after submission, you need to email to us at enquiry@gemt.global.

Our Company levies an administrative fee of S$30 per booking on top of any charge the hotel may impose.

8. MODE OF COMMUNICATION

You agree to accept email as the dominant mode of communication between you and the Company. Booking confirmation via email shall therefore satisfy the legal requirement for binding communications between you and the Company. You also agree to email to enquiry@gemt.global to check your booking status in case you do not hear from us. In doing so, you agree not to hold the Company liable for any non-receipt of hotel voucher or email confirmation or booking confirmation. In cases where the Company cancels or amends your booking due to various reasons, including but not limited to incomplete booking information or payment details or incomprehensible instructions, and emails you the cancellation or amendment notice, the Company does not take responsibility for your failing to be notified by our email, and the Company shall not be liable for any damage or loss incurred. Please be reminded to check your contact email regularly.
