The reservation is a free service offered by BGourmet, the platform being responsible for facilitating the reservation process between the User and the Outlet.

Some of these taxes can be adjusted by the Outlet against the total bill for the items to be consumed by the User at the Outlet – in this case a voucher that can be used at the Outlet will be automatically generated by the platform in the User’s account as soon as the payment is registered. The voucher can be further deducted from any bill issued by the Outlet to the User, with remaining amount to be paid by the User after deduction of the voucher.

In case of booking confirmation, BGourmet recommends its Users to arrive 10 minutes earlier than the due of the reservation and informs them, whenever possible (ex: by email confirmation), that booking is valid for up to 15 minutes after due date.

Changes or cancellation of a reservation are subject to acceptance of the same by the restaurant. A confirmed booking can be cancelled until its due date, otherwise it will be automatically marked as committed and be deemed to have taken place, with all commercial related consequences (ex: retain the booking fee or any other taxes if they are not subject of deduction).

If the reserved Outlet fails to comply with its obligations regarding a confirmed booking, the User is entitled to raise a complaint within 30 minutes from the due date of the reservation by using the specific functionality available on the app. BGourmet will make reasonable efforts to evaluate as soon as possible the complaint and, at its sole discretion, may initiate a refund of any booking fees paid by the user.

BGourmet shall in no manner be liable in any way for any in-person interactions with the Outlet as a result of the booking or for the User's experience at the Outlet or in the event an Outlet does not honor a confirmed booking.
