You agree to make your own enquiries to verify information provided and to assess the suitability of products before you purchase.

All imagery and video on the Website are for representational purposes only.

 

ORDERS

Purchases made by you to purchase an offer are made under the specific terms and conditions in this agreement, together with any merchant-specific terms and conditions listed under the “Fine Print” of the offer, together with any specific terms and conditions of the merchant. Promotion of offers on the site does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather, are an invitation to treat.

We reserve the right to accept or reject your order for any reason (or no reason) at any time after that order has been made, including, but not limited to, the unavailability of any product or service, an error in the price or product or service description, or an error in your order. If we cancel your order, we will provide a full refund of any payment received. Once placed, you cannot cancel your order except as set out in this agreement.

 

PRICE

The prices of offers include all taxes and charges, including GST (where applicable) except where stated otherwise. There may be additional surcharges which are payable directly to the hotel which will be referred to in the relevant travel offer. Prices of products and services are current at time of display however are subject to change.

 

PAYMENT

All payments must be received in full prior to a confirmation being issued. If your payment is not received or declined by your bank or credit card issuer, we cannot 'hold' packages on your behalf.

 

TRAVEL AGREEMENTS AND TRAVEL PRODUCTS

Booking of travel arrangements and payment for travel products (which can include both land and passage components) shall be considered proof that you have read our booking conditions that you accept them without reservation as constituting the entire agreement between you and the Company which can only be varied by an officer of the Company in writing.

All travel products arranged by the Company are provided by Suppliers believed by the Company to be reputable and to operate in accordance with the standards set down by their own local authorities. Those travel products are provided subject to those Suppliers’ terms, conditions and limitations (some of which may exclude or limit liability in respect of death, injury, delay, loss or damage to passenger’s person and/or effects) and the Company accepts no responsibility for them and does not make or give any warranty or representation as to their standard. Any legal recourse you may have in respect of those travel products is against those Suppliers and not against the Company.

 

ACCESSIBILITY OF BOOKING CONFIRMATION

Your travel booking confirmation will be accessible via your account with us. You agree that we are not liable for any loss suffered as a result of you being unable to download, print or access a booking confirmation.

 

BOOKING CONFIRMATION

The Booking Confirmation you purchase is redeemable for the specified offer from the relevant supplier(s). The relevant supplier(s), not Treat Me, is the seller of the product and is solely responsible for honouring the package you purchase. Whilst we try (as much as possible) to ensure that we only promote those merchants who we feel will provide good service to you, we make no guarantee, warranty or representation regarding the standard of any product to be provided.

Booking confirmations cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash. Unless specifically stated otherwise, packages cannot be combined with any other gift certificates, packages or promotions. Not valid in conjunction with any other offer or on existing reservations. Any unused portion of the package is non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for other services or cash.

We are not responsible for lost or stolen booking confirmations or fraudulent use of the booking confirmation's unique reference number.

PURCHASE EXPIRY AND EXTENSION

The booking confirmation will expire on the date indicated on the travel booking confirmation. Expired purchases are non-refundable in whole or part. Once expired, purchases are no longer valid and will not be honoured by the merchant.

In the event that a booking specifies a ‘book by’ date, all bookings must be made with the supplier prior to that date.

 

MERCHANT TERMS & CONDITIONS

Any Terms and Conditions of the supplier will always apply in addition to any specific terms of the offer stated by Treat Me. For example, if a merchant is not open on certain days, the package will not be redeemable on those days. Refunds are not payable in the event that you are unable to use a package on account of the merchant's usual terms and conditions.

 

CONSECUTIVE DAYS

Unless the offer specifically provides otherwise, offers must be used over one continuous period and packages cannot be split. For example, if a package entitles you to four nights at a resort, those four nights must be used consecutively - you cannot use two nights over one period, and then two nights over another.

 

CHANGES IN PRICE AND ITINERARIES

Prices are in Australian dollars (except where stated otherwise) are correct at the time of printing and are subject to change without notice. The price that is applicable at any time is that which is quoted at that time by the Company’s computer based system. Some prices can only be guaranteed at the time the booking is made and may differ from that quoted as it is based on the “best available rate of the day from the supplier”.

Government taxes and charges imposed by Suppliers or third parties, including airline fuel surcharges, taxes or ticketing fees are subject to change. If any increase in such taxes or charges or any currency fluctuation increases the price of your booking, the Company reserves the right to adjust your price by including additional charges, together with any applicable service fee and GST, at any time prior to our issuing your travel documentation following receipt of the balance of your price.

We will notify you of schedule or price changes made by suppliers for any reason beyond our control. If the change or changes result in your travel arrangements costing more, or otherwise being materially different from those prior to the change or changes being effected (and in respect of which we have already accepted your full payment) you may rearrange them or withdraw and monies already paid will be refunded less any charges levied by Suppliers. Any quote given is an estimate only of price and is subject to written confirmation, when accepted by a passenger within five (5) days of the quote being given. The Company reserves the right to correct any errors in amounts quoted, calculated or billed in respect of a booking, even if full payment has been made.

In the event of a change in itinerary (due to safety or events outside of our control) which results in cancellation or change fees in respect of flights (or other parts of your travel) we will notify you as soon as practicable. You will be responsible for any associated costs or will otherwise have the right to a refund (less any costs incurred or paid to third parties).

 

PRICE AND INVOICE ERRORS

The Company endeavours to ensure that all prices listed on the Website are accurate and up-to-date. However, due to exchange rate fluctuations or increases in supplier rates, the Company reserves the right, up to and including the date of check-in, to adjust any fees, charges or prices as necessary, even if the travel products acquired have been paid for in full, to reflect such cost increases passed onto the Company.

The Company reserves the right to correct any errors in fees, charges, rates or prices quoted or billed, even if the travel products acquired have been paid for in full.

 

REFUNDS

Any refunds are made in accordance with our Refund Policy.

The Company is not liable for any expense, costs or loss incurred in relation to such matters. You agree not to hold the Company responsible for any such things.

 

INSURANCE

You should immediately after purchasing any travel product arrange your own insurance. The Company recommends travel insurance (where available) against loss of deposits through cancellation charges, baggage loss, medical expenses, theft and the insolvency of the Company or any of its suppliers. The Company makes no representations or guarantees concerning reimbursements of funds paid by you under any insurance claim. You agree not to hold the Company responsible for any decision made by insurers, and/or by any suppliers, or requirements of any overseas country or governmental authority or overseas laws and policies.

You will need to be aware that some insurers may not cover countries that are sanctioned by the United Nations. These countries may include Central African Republic, Crimea and Sevastopol, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Former Yugoslavia, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, The Taliban, Ukraine, Yemen and Zimbabwe. Additionally, insurers may not cover countries or regions that are the subject of a ‘Do not travel’ warning issued by the Australian Government. These additional countries may include Venezuala, Afghanistan, Burundi, Chad and Mali. Please read the Product Disclosure Statement when purchasing an insurance product.

 

PASSPORTS, VISA, VACCINATIONS, AND BAGGAGE

A visa does not guarantee you entry to a country or permission to remain in it. Some countries may refuse entry because of your health, condition, or other circumstances or for other reasons, or may detain, expel or repatriate you. It is your responsibility to find out about applicable entry and other requirements of overseas countries you are intending to visit. These things are not our responsibility.

It shall be your responsibility to be aware of the safety, local conditions and issues that may exist at your travel destination. We recommend that you contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) or visit their website www.smartraveller.gov.au for current travel advice. Treat Me accepts no liability in this regard.

You should check with the embassies or consulates or other authorities of the countries in which you intend to travel for any health, entry or visa requirements that are applicable and you should make the appropriate disclosures as required. A failure to disclose a health condition may result in the applicable country refusing you entry, or in you being detained, expelled or repatriated from it.

The Company and/or its servants and agents accept no responsibility if you are refused entry into the country/countries of your destination. The Company and/or its servants and agents are not liable for any expenses, costs liabilities or loss incurred in relation to such matters. You agree to not hold the Company including its servants and agents responsible for any such thing. The Company/and or its servants and agents are not responsible for any disclosures of a health condition made by other suppliers who provide services on the holiday or for the acts of any governmental instrumentalities of the countries connected to your holiday.

You are responsible for all visas, entry, health and other requirements and any documents required by laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of countries visited. The Company and/or its servants and agents are not responsible for passport and visa requirements or for any loss you sustain for failing to comply with laws, regulations, orders and/or requirements of countries visited.

 

ROOM BEDDING GUIDE

All prices on this website are based on existing bedding in the room. Requests for particular arrangements must be made at the time of booking (for example, twin share, separate beds, additional rollaway beds may be arranged at time of check-in and additional charges may be payable direct to the hotel). Some hotels may also have maximum capacity for particular rooms.

 

PRICING, VALUE, AND SAVINGS

We calculate the percentage off in our 'Limited Time Lux Exclusive' deals based on the ‘rack rate’ of the room and the inclusions at the time the deal is live for the validity period of the deal (that’s hotel-speak for ‘Recommended Retail Price’). Hotels may change accommodation charges depending on peak seasons, low seasons and events so we use the rack rate which is consistent through the year and 100% verifiable. The value and comparative savings have been determined based on the resort's published rack rates and the value of inclusions. Please be advised that rack rates may not be reflective of actual rates being charged, dependent on the timing and manner of your booking and therefore are only indicative of the level of saving.

 

EXPERIENCES

Vouchers: Use and redemption of a TREATME.co.NZ voucher

Vouchers will be accessible via your treatme.co.nz account. Your voucher will not be emailed to you and will only be accessible via your account. We cannot be held liable nor responsible for any loss suffered as a result of a voucher not being received by you due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

All vouchers sold on the Website are offered on behalf of third party Vendors. Any voucher you purchase shall be redeemable only for the specified goods or services from the relevant Vendor of the goods and services and shall only be available for redemption during the period specified on the voucher. The Vendor, and not treatme.co.nz, is the seller and supplier of the goods and services to which the voucher relates and is solely responsible for honouring any voucher you purchase.

In relation to goods provided by a third party on redemption of a voucher, you acknowledge that the third party vendor is the supplier of the goods, and not treatme.co.nz.

To the extent permitted by law (including the Australian Consumer Law), we make no warranty or representation regarding the standard of any goods or services to be supplied by the Vendor.

The voucher does not function as a stored-value card and cannot be redeemed incrementally, unless otherwise specified by the voucher. The voucher cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash. A voucher cannot be combined with any other discount or promotional offer unless specified by the Vendor.

Neither treatme.co.nz nor the Vendor is responsible for lost or stolen vouchers or fraudulent use (by a person other than treatme.co.nz or the Vendor) of the voucher’s unique reference number.

Vouchers may contain terms and conditions (“Fine Print”) that supplement, and are to be read as in addition to, this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the Fine Print and this Agreement, the Fine Print will prevail.

Vouchers may be transferred, assigned or gifted to other persons (“Gift Recipient”) and may be redeemed by the Gift Recipient in accordance with this Agreement.

 

Vouchers: Availability of goods and services and scheduling

You agree and acknowledge that:

·       where Vendors offer services on the basis of “sessions” or otherwise on a time basis, the advertised duration may be indicative and approximate;

·       the Vendors are under no obligation to give you priority over other, full paying or ordinary customers in respect of booking or scheduling for their services, and all services are rendered subject to availability;

·       where Vendors offer an experience based on an itinerary or schedule of events, the scheduling of or order for those events may vary from time to time;

·       the Vendors of certain types of experiences may impose conditions such as a minimum age or other restrictions regarding weight, health or other factors. It is your responsibility to confirm details of any restrictions that may apply from the Vendor prior to purchasing any voucher, or finalising any booking to confirm that you are able to comply;

·       photographs appearing on our Website to illustrate details of offers of Vendors are generally those made available to us by Vendors or chosen by us. They are intended to be indicative only of the services, venues and locations at which services are offered by Vendors. For example, they may depict only one of various venues and locations at which the services are offered and, given your geographic location, this may not be the venue or location applicable to you;

·       a representation on the Website that services will be available over a range of dates does not preclude you from being required to make a booking for the services to which the booking relates. Bookings may not be available on short notice;

·       restaurant menus advertised on the Website are indicative only and subject to change without notice; and

·       where Vendors offer a course or series of sessions or treatments (such as beauty treatments and waxing appointments), you agree that these may need to be scheduled at intervals to be determined in consultation with the Vendor, in order to maximise the efficacy of the services provided or to minimise risks to health or wellbeing.

 

Bookings

All service products are offered by Vendors subject to availability. For all products that require bookings, we recommend making bookings at least THREE (3) weeks in advance. Peak times (such as weekends or holidays) should be booked further in advance (and will often be limited).

We do not guarantee that services will be available at your preferred date and time.

Bookings are made subject to any supplier policies.

If you cancel your booking you may incur a cancellation fee payable to the supplier. Short notice cancellations may result in the cancellation of your voucher if the supplier is unable to fill your space. In that regard, the cancellation policies of the Vendor will apply at all times. Please ensure that you check the cancellation policies of the Vendor before booking.

If required by the Vendor, you may need to produce the voucher prior to the service being performed or product being provided. In the event that you forget, lose, misplace or have the voucher stolen, you will be required to produce another copy of the voucher. Neither treatme.co.nz nor the Vendor shall be required to provide any refund or a replacement booking or product, in the event that you fail to produce a voucher upon request.

 

Voucher expiry and extension

The voucher expires on the date indicated on the voucher.

Expired vouchers are non-refundable in whole or part. Once expired, vouchers are no longer valid and will not be honored by the Vendor.

Some Vendors may experience a large volume of bookings towards the conclusion of the validity period. It is strongly recommended that all bookings are made well before the conclusion of the validity period. No refunds will be issued in the event that you are unable to have the service performed due to unavailability of bookings.[PP1]

In the absence of its own negligence neither the Company nor any agent or affiliate shall be liable for any loss or damage to baggage or property, or for injury, illness or death, or for any damages or claims whatsoever arising from loss, negligence, delay or from the act, error, omission, default or negligence of any person not its direct employee or under its exclusive control, including any act, error, omission, default, or negligence of any country, government or governmental authority, officer or employee. Neither the Company nor any agent or affiliate is responsible for any criminal conduct by any third parties.

All bookings agreed to be made by the Company with the provider of any transport or other services are subject to the terms and conditions imposed on such suppliers in relation to matters that may not be expressly the subject of our agreement with them and, in particular, to the applicable laws, requirements and policies of any government, governmental authority or employee including, visa, entry, exit or transit.

The Company does not accept responsibility or liability for any acts, omissions or defaults whether negligent or otherwise, of suppliers. Neither the Company, nor any agent or affiliate accepts any responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever for the acts, omissions or defaults (whether negligent or otherwise) of any governmental authorities, their officers, or employees or of any employees, or agents of airlines, air carriers, coach operators, other land carriers, shipping companies or operators, cruise or ferry operators, any other transport providers, hoteliers or other accommodation providers, any other facilities providers, tour directors, tour guides, travel agents, or the providers to you of meals, other goods or other services on your holiday or in relation to it and over whom the Company, its agents or affiliates have no direct control.

Neither the Company nor any agent or affiliate accepts any responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever including but not limited to contract, in tort or under any other law for any injury, damage, loss, delay, additional expenses or inconvenience caused by your own acts and/or omissions, or other events which are beyond their control including force majeure or other events including but not limited to war, civil disturbance, fire, floods, severe weather, acts of God, acts of government or any other authorities, failure of equipment or machinery.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

The Company arranges your holiday, which will be provided by other suppliers. The Company sells holidays in Australia and internationally that are arranged by the Company or by entities related to or affiliated with it. The Company provides you and other passengers with bookings, arrangements, ticketing and other ancillary and related services.

The Company does not itself provide the transport, accommodation, meals or other facilities described on this website that you may receive on your holiday, all of which are provided by air and land carriers, cruise operators, hoteliers or suppliers of other services as principals.

The Company bears no responsibility as an intermediary and cannot be held responsible in case of damage caused to you by any of our suppliers, caused by you to our suppliers. You therefore commit to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against all damages or claims made by you. The above provisions do not apply to benefit the Company if the cause of the loss or claim against the Company arises directly as a result of a breach of any of these terms by the Company.

 

INDEMNITY

You will at all times indemnify, and keep indemnified, us and our directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any loss (including reasonable legal costs and expenses on a full indemnity basis) or liability incurred or suffered by you or by us arising from any claim, demand, suit, action or proceeding by any person against you or us where such loss or liability arose out of, in connection with or in respect of your conduct or breach of this agreement.

STANDARD OF SERVICE

The standard of service in your holiday is based on various factors and neither the company nor its servants or agents represent or guarantee the standard or fitness for purpose of the accommodation or services provided.

 

COMPLAINTS OR PROBLEMS

We endeavour to ensure that the arrangements we have made for you are implemented as arranged. If a problem occurs, the most practical way to deal with it is to attempt resolution locally with the supplier (such as the hotel, tour operator or airline).

If you fail to follow this course, any claim for compensation may be reduced or denied. If you have any unresolved complaint, details should be lodged in writing (with supporting documentation, including efforts made with the service provider to resolve it) directly to the Company within 30 days of return to your home country.

We have no liability (including for loss or damage) for any act, omission or default, whether negligent or otherwise of any merchant. If you wish to make a complaint in respect of a merchant, you must email that complaint to support@treatme.co.nz.

TREAT ME CREDIT

If your registration on our Website is cancelled or terminated by us in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, any accrued Credits will be forfeited.

You may apply Credits to the purchase price of any ‘land only’ package in the same category as your original purchase (i.e. ‘Limited Time Lux Exclusive’ package etc) with Treat Me(excluding standalone flights or any flight component of an accommodation / flights package). For example, if you have $200 Credits and wish to purchase a package which costs $500, you would also need to spend $300 on your credit card along with $200 Credits to purchase the deal.

We reserve the right to alter the amount and ratio of Credits we grant at our absolute discretion. We also reserve the right to cancel members Credits if they have breached these Terms and Conditions.

Credits will expire 12 months after they have been credited to your account (unless such other period is stated by Treat Me in writing in a particular promotion or campaign). Credits are not transferable or assignable and cannot be redeemed in any way other than in accordance with this clause.

GOVERNING LAW

This agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Victoria, Australia. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Victoria.

 

20% DEPOSIT TERMS

Treat Me provides the option for its customers to secure dates on certain ‘Limited Time Lux Exclusive’ and ‘Tours or Cruises’ packages or refundable Lux Premium Collection offers by paying a 20% deposit of the total amount of the relevant package (plus any fee as outlined below) with the balance due at a later time.

 

Eligibility

The 20% Deposit option will be available on certain ‘Limited Time Lux Exclusive’ hotel, tour and cruise packages and 'Lux Premium Collection' packages (excludes non-refundable rates) and where the purchase is made at least:

61 days in advance for ‘Limited Time Lux Exclusive’ packages; or

105 days in advance for Tours or Cruises; or

16 days before the free cancellation ends for refundable Lux Premium Collection packages. See 'How it works' below.

If the 20% Deposit option is available for a particular purchase it will be shown at the payment section of the shopping cart (noting that not all Limited Time Lux Exclusive / Tour / Cruise and Lux Premium Collection packages will have the 20% Deposit option available even if they satisfy the requirements outlined above). Further, any bookings already within the 16 / 61 / 105-day travel window will not have this option available.

For the avoidance of doubt, the 20% Deposit option will not be available on any flights (or the flight component of a flights + accommodation package), insurance, experiences or Gift Card purchases.

 

How it Works and Costs

Where the 20% Deposit option is utilised the customer will pay 20% of the purchase price (plus a service fee as outlined below) with the balance being paid:

Limited Time Lux Exclusive hotel offers: 60 days prior to check-in

Limited Time Lux Exclusive tour or cruise offers: 105 days prior to departure

Lux Premium Collection offers: 16 days before free cancellation ends (not applicable for non-refundable packages)

This means, if free cancellation is until 7 days prior to check-in, the deposit would be eligible for 7+16 days, and the remaining balance would be charged 7+15 days prior to check-in.

To utilise this option customers must use their credit / debit card or Apple / Google pay. No other payment options are available.

Given customers must also choose dates to be eligible for this payment option, the 20% Deposit Option does not apply where ‘Buy now, choose dates later’ option is utilised.

In addition, and in order to access the 20% Deposit option, there will be an additional service fee of 2.95% of the balance of the purchase price payable by the customer, which will be charged at the time the balance is due.

*For example, if a A$3,000 package is purchased, then a 20% deposit will be paid up front and a service fee of 2.95% will be paid on any balance with such payment being made at the time of the relevant cut-off date (16 for refundable Lux Premium Collection offers, 61 for Limited Time Lux Exclusive hotel or 105 for Limited Time Lux Exclusive tour or cruise offers as the case may be) – therefore, in such example $600 (20%) is paid upfront and, where no further amount is paid prior, a further amount of $2,400 (being the balance of the purchase price), plus a A$70.80 service fee on the balance (i.e. 2.95% of A$2,400) being paid on the relevant cut-off date prior to departure (as outlined above) - with an amount of A$3,070.80 being paid in total for the package.

In the event that the balance of the purchase is not paid 16, 60 days or 105 days (as the case may be and as advised to the customer) or the card provided by the customer fails then the customer will receive a notification of such failure. Following the 2nd and 3rd failures Treat Me may charge $25 per any additional attempts made.

Any 20% Deposit (and service fees) paid to Treat Me will not be refundable except where the refund is made pursuant to our ‘7-day Change of Mind Guarantee’. In addition, where your purchase has the option to refund to credit (which will be expressly set out in the ‘Fine Print’ of the offer) then in the event you cancel by the required date then you will receive the 20% deposit back (or 100% if you have paid in full) as a Treat Me credit which will be valid for 90 days (less the 2.95% service fee payable on the balance of your purchase which will be deducted from any credit you receive).

Please note: other deposit options may be available on your package which differ from the above and which will be outlined in the ‘fine print’ and payment section of the specific package.
