Terms and conditions

WEBSITE OWNERSHIP

Ownership of the website villacompare.co.uk (hereafter WEBSITE) corresponds to Villa Compare (hereafter VILLACOMPARE)

NATURE AND SERVICES

VILLACOMPARE acts in the market as an independent comparison service, its activity consisting in providing users with an overview of the different conditions available on the market to access the same tourist accommodation service requested by the USER, based on accommodation information facilitated directly by different partners through their own platforms, thereby enabling the USER to obtain comparative information and make an informed decision.

VILLACOMPARE acts solely as a neutral comparison service/indicator of the different conditions that, at any given moment, may be offered by different partners for the same accommodation, acting always in an impartial, objective and transparent manner.

Under no circumstances will VILLACOMPARE handle reservations, perform any type of marketing of tourist services, enable direct access to accommodation, or establish a direct relationship either with the eventual contracting party of the tourist services or with the owners or responsible parties of the accommodation, but instead acts as a comparison service of the information provided by the partners on their respective websites.

VILLACOMPARE has no involvement in the publication of advertisements generated by the owners or responsible parties of the accommodation, nor does it maintain any type of contact with the aforementioned parties. Therefore, it does not have the means or possibility to control or verify the completeness, reliability or legality of the information put forward by the providers who directly convey their offers through the advertising platforms of the partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if VILLACOMPARE is made aware of any legal infringement relating to any of the accommodation that can be view indirectly on the WEBSITE via the websites of one or more of the partners, VILLACOMPARE, will seek to take all necessary and reasonable measures to block access, where possible, to the accommodation through the WEBSITE. Under no circumstances will VILLACOMPARE be responsible in any way for the aforementioned infractions.
