TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE FOR THE ON-LINE PRE-AUTHORISATION RESERVATION SERVICE

These Terms and Conditions complement TheFork’s General Conditions of Use and the restaurant’s General Conditions of Sale (“The Restaurant”). In the event of a discrepancy between these Terms and Conditions and those of either TheFork’s General Conditions of Use or the Restaurant’s General Conditions of Sale, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.
The Restaurant operates a pre-authorisation reservation service (the “Pre-Authorisation Reservation Service”) that allows the customer (the “Customer” or “you”) to book a table at a given date and that allows the management of no-shows, late cancelation or amendments to the reservation by the Customer.

ARTICLE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE PRE-AUTHORIZATION RESERVATION SERVICE

The The Pre-Authorisation Reservation Service, which will take your bank card details, is provided by the Restaurant. Taking the card details allows the delivery of a debit pre-authorization from your bank.
The Restaurant has set a fixed charge per reserved cover for the bank card pre-authorization. The amount is specified at the time of reservation.
The pre-authorisation is not a prepayment for your meal. Payment for your meal will only be taken at the Restaurant. The The Pre-Authorisation Reservation Service is just a guarantee for the Restaurant and no amount is debited at the time of reservation.
Nevertheless, should you fail to honour the reservation, make a late cancellation, or late amendment to the reservation, the appropriate sum will be debited from your bank account using the card details provided. The charge will be debited within seven days of the date of the meal.

ARTICLE 2 – INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR THE PRE-AUTHORIZATION RESERVATION SERVICE

ARTICLE 3 –FRAUD PREVENTION – BANK AUTHORIZATION CAP THE RIGHT TO DECLINE YOUR RESERVATION

The Restaurant reserves the right to cancel any reservation that is reasonably believed to be fraudulent, improper, or which involves any illicit activity, even if the fraud-prevention system does not block the pre-authorisation.
It is also possible that pre-authorisation is refused by your banking institution because of a limit they may have set on your bank card, even if you have sufficient funds in your account for the pre-authorization reservation.

ARTICLE 4 – CONFIRMATION OF YOUR RESERVATION

Once your reservation has been approved by the Restaurant you will receive an email or SMS message summarizing the details of your reservation (place, date, time, how many people in the party and the sum held in the pre-authorisation).
