2.Reservation of Services

Making a reservation implies the adherence and acceptance of each and every one of the Terms and Conditions included in this document, as well as the policies indicated in section 13.

In this regard, by accepting the Terms and Conditions included in this document, the User expressly declares:

To be of legal age and have full legal capacity to make the reservation on their behalf and on behalf of accompanying third parties.
If staying with minors, to be their parent or legal guardian, or to have the corresponding authorization, which must be provided to the Manager.
To understand and comprehend all of the Terms and Conditions and other policies referred to in this document.
To expressly acknowledge and accept that the establishment cannot be their habitual and permanent residence or professional domicile, and therefore cannot be registered as such in any public or private institution.
That the data provided by them, whether their own or of accompanying third parties, when making the reservation is correct, true, up to date, and complete.
Not to engage in any type of criminal activity or fraud when making the payment for the reservation.

The User can request a reservation through www.staylibere.com (hereinafter, the “Website“), by contacting their staff through the tools provided on the Website or through any other official platform where the Manager offers this option. To complete the reservation process, the User must:

Complete all steps required by the Manager or the corresponding platform and provide (i) all required data in accordance with the identification section below, as well as (ii) a credit or debit card number in the name of the reservation holder as a guarantee for the reservation confirmation. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards are accepted. Reservation requests will not be considered accepted until the Manager confirms their admission via email, provides a reservation reference, and the User makes payment for the Services (including the corresponding deposit). At this point, the legal relationship between the User and the Owner will have been formalized.

Once the reservation is made, and as soon as possible, but always within 24 hours of making the reservation, the Manager will send the User a confirmation of their reservation via email.

If the User detects that they have made an error in the reservation, they must contact the Manager for free rectification within a maximum of 2 hours from the receipt of the confirmation email. Otherwise, it will be considered correct for all purposes. The Manager will make its best efforts to rectify the corresponding reservation as long as availability has not been exhausted within that timeframe.

Outside of the cases referred to in the previous paragraph, Líbere does not commit to rectifying erroneous reservations, but if it does, the User will have to pay the corresponding fee for the requested changes.

Users with disabilities who require additional services or requirements to ensure a proper stay must inform the Manager before making the reservation.

Prices and Payment Conditions

The prices and offers presented on the Website include VAT and are only valid for reservations made on the Website or directly through the establishment’s staff. Prices are in Euros and may be subject to change without prior notice. However, the agreed-upon prices will be maintained after the reservation is confirmed.

The User agrees that:

When booking a flexible or semi-flexible rate, the Manager reserves the right to verify the validity of the card registered in the reservation process and may block the amount corresponding to the first night, which will be unblocked after a few days depending on the issuing bank of the card. If the previous transaction cannot be processed, the credit card will be considered invalid. In this case, the Manager may automatically cancel the reservation without prior notice. The total amount of the stay (Value Added Tax (“VAT”) and, if applicable, applicable tourist taxes) will be charged at the time of check-in.
When booking a non-refundable rate, the Manager will charge the total amount of the reservation (including VAT and, if applicable, applicable tourist taxes) to the credit card provided at the time of booking.
In certain group reservations (more than 9 people) or reservations that cover at least three apartments, the Manager reserves the right to charge the User, in advance and with prior notice, an amount of €200 as a deposit, which will be refunded within a maximum of 30 days from check-out, once the correct condition of the apartments has been verified.

Payment Method:

Visa, Mastercard, and American Express credit cards are accepted. If (i) the cardholder of the card used to make the reservation does not match the User, and/or (ii) the reservation exceeds the amount of €500, the User must follow the instructions provided by the Manager in such cases.

If, at the time of check-in, the User has not provided the requested documentation, they must make the full payment of the reservation with a credit card in their name. In this case, the Manager will refund the charged amount as soon as possible, depending on the bank associated with the reservation, the effective time for collecting the corresponding amount.

In addition, cash payments are accepted up to the legally required limit, unless justified reasons prevent it.

3.Identification

To check-in and comply with the applicable regulations in Portugal, Users over 16 years of age must provide the Manager with:

For Portuguese Users: “cartão do cidadão” or passport.
For foreign Users: passport or, if applicable, a valid Portuguese residence permit.
For public safety reasons, a selfie to allow the Manager to verify that the individuals registered in the reservation match the individuals entering the establishment.

All Users who provide the documentation and information required by the Manager consent to the Manager keeping this information in its records for the legally required period. The Manager commits to maintaining confidentiality and not disclosing or using it for purposes other than those legally required. The collection and processing of this data will be carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, do Parlamento Europeu e do Conselho, de 27 de abril de 2016 and the applicable laws in Portugal, as outlined in the privacy policy indicated in section 13.

All Users, without exception (including those under 18 years of age), must have their personal and family documentation in order, in accordance with current legislation. In the case of individuals under 16 years of age, their data will be provided by the accompanying adult. It is the responsibility of the travelers to obtain visas, passports, vaccination certificates, etc., when required for their trips.

In the event that the issuance of visas is rejected by any authority or entry into the country is denied, the Manager disclaims all responsibility, and any expenses incurred will be the responsibility of the User. In these circumstances, the conditions and rules established for the case of no-show, as outlined in the “Cancellations and No-Show” section below, will apply.

Minors under the age of 18 cannot stay in the establishments without the company of an adult.

The Manager is authorized to communicate the stay of foreign Users to the “Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras” under Lei n.º 23/2007, de 4 de julho, and Portaria n.º 287/2007, de 16 de março.

4.Conditions Applicable to Online Check-In and Check-Out Processes

Both the check-in (arrival) and check-out (departure) procedures are conducted online at all our establishments. The Manager provides electronic devices (tablets) at the entrance of the establishments for this purpose. Additionally, the Manager will offer 24-hour phone assistance to Users who request it to complete these processes.

Online Check-In Process

Check-in time at the accommodations managed by the Manager is from 15:00 hours.

The Manager provides the User with accommodations in proper conditions of use, cleanliness, and maintenance. Therefore, in case of missing equipment or existing defects, the User has a period of 24 hours to report it via email to midstay@liberehospitality.com. The expiration of this period without any report means that there are no defects, and the apartment has everything needed.

Online Check-Out Process

Before the set check-out time, the User will receive an email outlining the necessary steps to formalize the departure. If the User has entered their personal information and login details on the televisions to access their account on a digital platform, they must log out and delete such information, absolving the Manager of any responsibility regarding such data if not done.

Check-out must be completed before 11:00 hours on the departure day set in the reservation.

If the apartment is not vacated within the indicated timeframe, the Manager reserves the right to charge the credit card provided an amount equivalent to the price applicable on the check-out date for an additional night beyond the standard rate, as compensation. If check-out is not completed on the departure day, the compensation will be charged for each additional day the User remains in the room or apartment.

5.Cancellation Policy, No-Show Cases, and Refunds

No-Show: A “no-show” occurs when the User does not show up at the accommodation on the scheduled entry date without notifying the Manager or canceling the reservation.

When making a reservation through the Website, the Manager can choose from a flexible rate, a semi-flexible rate, and a non-refundable rate, each of which has its own cancellation and payment conditions, as indicated below:

If the User, with a flexible rate, cancels the reservation outside the free cancellation period set in the rate (48 hours before the check-in date) or generates a “no-show,” a penalty will be charged to their card, amounting to the price of the first night (including VAT and taxes).
If the User, with a semi-flexible rate, cancels outside the applicable free cancellation period (i.e., 7 calendar days before check-in) or generates a “no-show,” (i) for a reservation of fewer than 3 nights, the penalty will be the total reservation amount, meaning one night will be charged for a one-night reservation, two nights for a two-night reservation, and three nights for a three-night reservation; (ii) for a reservation of more than 3 nights, the penalty will be, in any case, the total amount of 3 nights.
When the User has been offered a non-refundable rate or special conditions with the condition of no cancellation, the reservation cannot be canceled or modified at any time after the reservation (including in the case of a “no-show”). Therefore, the User is obliged to pay the entire reserved stay, and the Manager will proceed to charge the amount set in that reservation (including VAT and, if applicable, taxes).
Regardless of the applicable rate type, once check-in is completed, no cancellations or modifications of the reservation will be accepted. The User is obligated to pay the full reserved stay, and the Manager will proceed to charge the amount set in that reservation (including VAT).
In the case of a reservation made through an agency or platform other than the Website, the cancellation policy will be as indicated by the agency or platform used.

In cases of cancellation or “no-show,” the apartment, room, or bed will become available for the Manager as soon as this is communicated, and in the case of “no-show,” after the 24-hour period from when the check-in should have occurred.

All reservations are subject to availability. Additionally, the Manager reserves the right not to accept or cancel the formalization of a reservation for any of the following reasons:

The space(s) listed in the reservation is/are no longer available for unforeseen reasons.
The provided payment information is not valid, and valid alternative data is not provided.
The Manager’s security systems indicate that the reservation is anomalous or may be fraudulent or for unlawful purposes.
There is evidence that the User is underaged.
There are previous incidents indicating that the User has violated the rules established by the Manager.

In the first case, the Manager will proceed to offer relocation to another accommodation of equal or superior category or a full refund of the reservation amount if it has been paid. In the other cases mentioned above, the Manager will proceed with the cancellation of the reservation and a refund of the total reservation amount.

The Manager will refund the appropriate amounts to Users through the same payment method used for the reservation, unless a different refund method is agreed upon, in which case the User will need to verify their ownership once again.

In the event of force majeure or another exceptional event that prevents the provision of the Service and, specifically, the availability of the reserved apartment, the Manager reserves the right to accommodate the User, for the entirety or part of their stay, in an establishment of equivalent category; refund the amounts paid, or postpone the service until the force majeure period ends, subject to the prior agreement of the User.

6.Parties’ Obligations

Maintenance and Repairs

In the case of unforeseen maintenance, repair, or adaptation tasks during the stay:

I. Cases in which the incident does not objectively prevent the stay: the Manager will carry out these tasks as soon as possible and will hire specialized technicians if necessary, informing the User of the day and time when these tasks will be performed. If necessary for security reasons, the User must vacate the room or apartment. If the User does not explicitly oppose the execution of the tasks or request a change of date and time within 24 hours of the communication, they consent to the technicians and the Manager’s personnel accessing the room or apartment on the communicated date and time for these purposes.

If the User remains in the room or apartment or in any way prevents the completion of these tasks, it will be assumed that they have waived the execution of these tasks, and the Manager, at their discretion, will carry them out after the User’s stay has ended, in which case the User waives any claim against the Manager for this.

II. Cases in which the incident objectively prevents the stay: the Manager will offer relocation to another apartment or another accommodation with similar or superior features. If the User does not accept the relocation offered by the Manager, they will be reimbursed for the nights they were unable to enjoy due to this incident.

The User undertakes to notify the Manager as soon as possible of any incidents in their apartment or the furniture/facilities in it.

Access to the Building. Security.

Access to the building and apartments will be via a PIN code, which will be provided to the User at the end of the check-in process. For security reasons, the PIN code is non-transferable to individuals not listed in the reservation, and both the User who made the reservation and all their companions must be properly registered at the establishment. No individuals other than those identified in the reservation may stay overnight without prior authorization from the Manager. The establishment reserves the right to deny entry to individuals not properly registered in a reservation.

The User must follow the safety and emergency management instructions that are clearly indicated in the accommodation:

The building complies with applicable safety regulations and is equipped with fire detectors as well as security cameras in common areas that comply with the applicable regulations on personal data protection and privacy.

Behind the door of each apartment, there is an evacuation plan with the route and instructions to follow in case of an emergency, as well as the phone numbers of local emergency services and a contact phone number for the Manager for security emergencies.

The provisions in this section regarding “access to the apartment and building” are an essential condition of the reservation. Failure to comply by the User will result in the automatic cancellation of the reservation and an obligation to vacate, with a refund of the amounts corresponding to the days not enjoyed.

Service Quality

The Manager is committed to fulfilling its obligations and acting with the utmost diligence and attention to the quality of the offered service.

7.User’s Behavior

The User agrees to use the Services and the establishments in accordance with the law, morality, public order, and good customs, as well as in accordance with the provisions in these General Terms and Conditions. Consequently, the User undertakes not to use the Services for unlawful purposes or in a manner contrary to these General Terms and Conditions, harmful to the rights and/or interests of third parties, or in any way that may damage the services, the Manager, and/or its reputation.

The Manager is committed to the comfort and safety of Users and, for these purposes, complies with applicable safety regulations. The Manager reserves the right to demand the eviction of the facilities of any User or companion who violates the building rules, public order, or the safety of other Users, without the need to refund any amounts to the User in question.

Furthermore, if, as a result of inappropriate behavior by the User, their companions, or their pet, damage occurs to the apartment or common areas of the establishment, the Manager reserves the right to charge the corresponding amount for the repairs carried out to return the facilities to their initial condition (including, furniture, tableware, or appliances) to the User’s credit card, providing proof of the incurred cost. If it is necessary to replace the facilities (including, furniture, tableware, or appliances), the cost of acquiring new facilities of the same characteristics will be charged, and the corresponding invoice will be provided.

In the event that, after the stay, the User detects missing furniture or belongings from the apartment, damage or defects caused by inappropriate behavior, the Manager will, after prior notification, charge the User for the cost of repair or replacement, providing invoices to prove the expenses incurred.

If the User leaves the apartment in a state of dirtiness or disorder beyond what is considered normal and appropriate use, the Manager reserves the right to charge them an amount of €20 for extra cleaning costs and, if necessary, the cost of damages caused by the unavailability of the room or apartment during the cleaning and preparation tasks. The User declares their acceptance of this charge.

8.Prohibitions

The User and their companions (whether staying overnight or not) are expressly prohibited from engaging in any of the following actions:
