    1. To maintain and use only one The Oterra Exclusive® account at any time;

5. The hotel reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, alter, or otherwise update the Membership Terms and Conditions for the Program, and/or to modify, suspend, or cancel the Program at any time, even though such changes may affect the value of rewards or Points already accumulated. You should check the last updated date in the footer of these Terms and Conditions for notice of changes to them or to the Program. If the footer indicates that the Terms and Conditions, or the Program itself, have changed, you should review the changes carefully.  By choosing to remain a Program Member after the hotel has posted notice of such modifications or updates, and after you have had provided an opportunity to review the revised Terms and Conditions or Program information, you agree to be bound by such revised Terms and Conditions or to be a part of the Program as revised.

    2. Member’s misrepresentation of any information or any misuse of this Program;

    3. Member’s violation of any national, regional, or local law or regulation in connection with the use of membership privileges;

    4. Member’s failure to provide and maintain valid contact information;

    5. Member’s failure to pay for hotel charges and/or any expenses incurred during a Member’s Stay, including if such failure to pay is the result of a Member’s check being returned for insufficient funds or being invalid for any reason;

    6. Member’s commission of fraud or abuse involving any portion of this Program, including but not limited to the abuse of corporate rates without authorization (as demonstrated by, for example, appropriate identification or validation at check-in), any conduct that improperly impacts the accumulation of Points or rewards, or abuses the redemption aspects of the Program (including the use of “bots” or other automated means of promotion entry);

    7. Member maintaining more than one active account; 

    8. Member’s physical, verbal, or written abuse or harassment of hotel personnel; 

    9. Abuse/misuse of any benefits or privileges provided by the hotel, or use of such benefits or privileges in violation of the applicable terms and conditions for them, including but not limited to the sale or barter of any Points or Point vouchers or Reward Nights; or 

    10. Member taking any other action or engaging in any other activities that are to the detriment of the Program, the hotel; as may be determined by the hotel in its sole discretion.  

      If the hotel cancels your membership, the cancellation will be effective immediately, by notice to you, to the contact information provided by you.  The hotel shall not be responsible for failure to notify any Member of cancellation of the Member’s account if the Member has not provided the hotel with valid contact information.

7. Arbitration. Except with respect to any claim or dispute involving the ownership, validity, or use of any the hotel trademarks or service marks, any dispute arising out of or related to the Program Terms (including any claim that the Program Terms are invalid, illegal, or otherwise voidable or void), seeking as relief money damages or Points and/or attorneys’ fees or other damages will be submitted for arbitration to the Indian Council for Arbitration (ICA). The hotel shall have the right in a proper case to obtain temporary restraining orders, temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, and/or declaratory relief (other than declarations with respect to the amount of money damages) from a court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitration proceedings shall be heard by one independent arbitrator who shall be an attorney or retired judge. The arbitration shall be held in Bengaluru, Karnataka and in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the ICA. All matters within the scope of The Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1996 will be governed by it. You and the hotel waive any rights to maintain other available resolution processes for such disputes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle disputes. You and the hotel waive any right to a jury trial for such disputes. The rules in arbitration are different from the rules that apply in court. There is no judge or jury, and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief and must honour the same limitations stated in the terms and conditions, as a court would.

In reaching his or her decision, the arbitrator shall follow the Program Terms, shall be bound to apply the applicable law, and shall not rule inconsistently with the applicable law. The arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis, and not as a consolidated, common, representative, group or class action. The arbitrator shall include in his or her award any relief he or she deems proper in terms of money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due at the maximum rate allowed by law), and attorneys’ fees and costs. The award of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties to the proceeding, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Other than as may be required by law, the entire arbitration proceedings (including, but not limited to, any rulings, decisions, or orders of the arbitrator) shall remain confidential and shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the parties to proceeding.


8. Limitations Period. Any and all claims and actions arising out of or relating to the Program Terms and Conditions must be started within one (1) year from the occurrence of the facts giving rise to such claim or action, or such claim or action shall be barred. This Limitations Period section does not apply to residents of New Jersey.


9. Class Action Waiver. You agree that you will not file a class action against the hotel, participate in a class action against the hotel, file or seek a class arbitration against the hotel, or participate in a class arbitration against the hotel, for any claim or action arising out of the Program or the Program Terms.


10. Release. By participating in the Program, each Program Member agrees to release, the hotel, and hold harmless the hotel, its advertising and promotion agencies, their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries, and their directors, officers, agents, and employees from all claims or damages arising out of any use or misuse of the Program by that Member.

14. A “Stay” is defined as one night or consecutive nights at the same hotel, regardless of frequency of check-in/check-out.


15. Qualifying Rates include most business and leisure rates, such as Advanced Purchase rates, Best Flexible rates, national/regional/local government rates, and specified leisure rates as confirmed by the hotel ’s reservation systems.


16. Points will be awarded for Qualifying Stays booked through, web sites or directly at the hotel, excluding online travel agents such as Expedia.com and booking.com, and unauthorized agents on online vertical travel portals.


17. “Eligible Charges,” include food and beverage, telephone, laundry, and Spa, and travel desk charged to the Member's room. Hotels may choose to award Points for other charges at their discretion.


18. Member benefits are only available for the individual Member to whom they apply. For in-hotel Member benefits, a Member must personally check in to enjoy such Member benefits, and those benefits are not transferrable and cannot be used by other Members or non-Members.  Any violation of this provision may result in cancellation of a Member’s account and may also result in a hotel charging the applicable fees for non-eligible Members’ or non-Members’ use of Member benefits.


19. Points have retail value only within the hotel premises and can be redeemed against hotel services in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Members have no ownership interest in accrued Points, and accrued Points do not constitute property of a Member. Use of the word “earn” herein, or in marketing materials, in relation to Program Points shall mean “collect” and shall not mean that the Points have any value until they are presented for redemption. Points may not be purchased or sold, and are not transferable, except as otherwise stated herein.


20. Point Expiration. The member can redeem accumulated points upto 3 months after account deactivation, except termination wherein the points expire immediately. The account also gets deactivated if there is no activity in account for a period of 12 months. To maintain the Points in your membership account, you must have at least stayed and earned points to your account every twelve (12) months.


21.

Only the Member whose name, as reflected on his or her The Oterra Exclusive® account, is on the reservation record will be awarded Points and will be awarded Qualifying Night (a single night during a Qualified Stay) credit toward achieving tier upgrade or other promotional goals.  For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one Member stays in a room, only one of the Members will be awarded Points and/or benefits, as long as all other conditions for such award of Points and/or benefits are satisfied.  Using a Member’s account number for a non-Member’s stay is not permitted, and may result in cancellation of the Member’s account, with all Points forfeited. In the event that multiple accounts are found to belong to the same person, the hotel reserves the right to close all of the accounts and revoke all Points. 


23. Points and/or Qualifying Night credit are not awarded for no-shows even if the room is paid for in full.
