This document sets out the terms and conditions on which You may access and use the Services provided by GoBookings.

In the event of any inconsistency between GoBookings’ General Terms and the terms of a third party service, the GoBookings General Terms will prevail.

This Agreement is deemed to be entered into, on a joint and several basis, by You and each Admin User authorised by You to access the Admin Portal. You will ensure that each Admin User has been provided with these General Terms, and that each Admin User agrees to and complies with these General Terms. You will also ensure that each End User or any third party authorised by you to use the Platform complies with the GoBookings Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) before using the Platform.
