RatePunk does not charge fees to you for some parts of the Service. We try to locate the best publicly available offers and track product pricing. We make money to sustain the Service when you purchase or engage with these offers.
While we try to find you the best available deals and identify low prices, we may not always find you the best deal. RatePunk is not responsible for any missed savings or rewards opportunities.
While we attempt to provide accurate descriptions for the hotels, deals, and other information shown within or through the Service, much of the information we display (including offer descriptions) is provided by third-parties that we do not control. We do not warrant that the product descriptions, third-party offers, or related merchant information or terms shown through the Service (including the browser extension, Website, or emailed offers) are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

Offers are provided subject to availability. Exclusions, restrictions, and terms and conditions (including third-party merchant exclusions, restrictions, and terms and conditions) may apply. Deals change often, and due to this, your application of offers, at checkout may or may not result in savings for your order.
Merchant Websites and Purchases
The Service allows you to view information about products listed for sale by third-party merchants online, find offers on those products, and track pricing information.

RatePunk Cashback Program
We may from time to time make our cashback rewards coins ("RatePunk Cashback coins") available to you when you complete certain actions through our Service, as part of our cashback program (the “RatePunk Cashback Program”). When RatePunk cashback coins are available for eligible purchases made from a particular merchant, or for another action, we may indicate this to you within our Service.
You must have an Active Account (as defined below) in good-standing to participate in the RatePunk Cashback Program, and to earn and redeem RatePunk coins. Certain RatePunk Cashback coins redemption option requires that you have a valid PayPal account in good-standing to successfully complete a particular redemption option.
The RatePunk Cashback Program is not available in all countries or locations. Participation in the RatePunk Cashback Program is unauthorized in any jurisdiction where any portion of the program may violate (or may cause RatePunk to violate) any legal requirements, and you agree not to participate if you are a resident of any such jurisdiction. The RatePunk Cashback Program is for personal, non-commercial use. You agree that you are not using (and will not use) the RatePunk Cashback Program for or on behalf of any third party, for any company, association, or group, or for any commercial purpose. You further agree that you will not participate in the RatePunk Cashback Program using multiple RatePunk accounts as a means of avoiding any prohibition of this Agreement or to earn RatePunk coins in excess of that which would otherwise be permitted under this Agreement.
You agree that RatePunk’s decisions regarding the RatePunk Cashback Program and your participation in it are final and binding and you agree to abide by all such decisions. RatePunk will be the sole arbiter in cases of suspected abuse, fraud, or violation of its rules and any decision it makes relating to termination, suspension, or disabling of your participation in the RatePunk Cashback Program and/or the expiration of any RatePunk Cashback coins or other program benefits.
The most common way for you to earn RatePunk cashback coins is by making an eligible purchase from one of the participating third-party merchants while using our Service. RatePunk Cashback coins are not available for all third-party merchants or items.
If a third-party merchant site is participating in the RatePunk Cashback Program, you can earn RatePunk Cashback coins based on the eligible items that you purchase from that third-party merchant. You must follow the links and instructions as disclosed within the Service or in other RatePunk Cashback Program materials, in order to complete the eligible purchase and/or complete any other qualifying or required action(s) (for example, by clicking the “Activate Cashback” button from within the RatePunk browser extension before completing your purchase).
We may display to you the amount or range of RatePunk Cashback coins which you may earn in connection with an eligible purchase in a number of ways, including but not limited to: (1) a fixed percentage reward rate applicable for eligible purchases (for example, 3% in RatePunk Cashback coins based on the subtotal of eligible items), (2) a percentage reward rate range applicable for eligible purchases (for example, 1-4% in RatePunk Cashback coins based on the subtotal of eligible items), (3) a fixed number of points for an eligible purchase (for example, 10 RatePunk Cashback coins), or (4) a range of RatePunk Cashback coins for an eligible purchase (for example, 5-100 coins). If displaying a percentage reward rate or percentage reward rate range, the relevant percentage is applied to the subtotal of eligible items purchased from a participating third-party merchant, excluding tax or any additional fees. You can only earn RatePunk Cashback coins on eligible purchases, and certain items, product categories, and purchases are ineligible for RatePunk Cashback coins. Exclusions vary by merchant. Except for certain product-specific offers, we generally won’t be able to determine if the item(s) you have purchased are eligible for RatePunk coins until after you make your purchase.
The exact number of RatePunk Cashback coins that can be earned on an eligible purchase will be assigned by RatePunk based on your eligible items after you complete your purchase, but, subject to the terms of this Agreement and provided all of your items are eligible, will fall within the range or up to the maximum number disclosed to you, and will be based on a number of factors of our choosing, which may include random chance.
We may also offer other ways to earn RatePunk Cashback coins. Such earning opportunities may be subject to additional terms, as specified at the time of the offer. RatePunk Cashback Coins appear as soon as you are completing your purchase. Please claim it immediately because it won’t be possible to do it later. RatePunk Cashback coins will remain pending for approximately 60-90 days (although this varies based on the third-party merchant and may be longer or shorter in some instances). If part or all of your purchase is ineligible for RatePunk Cashback coins, or if you cancel your purchase or receive a refund on it (either through the merchant or via a chargeback or reversal of any kind), the number of RatePunk Cashback coins you receive on your purchase, whether or not showing as "pending," will be reduced accordingly based on the new subtotal of eligible items. If there are no eligible items in your order, you will not earn any RatePunk Cashback Coins on that transaction or order. You will not earn RatePunk Cashback Coins for any hotel reservation you canceled.
RatePunk coins that are pending cannot be used or redeemed. You will be able to see in your Account Overview when RatePunk coins are no longer pending and become available to redeem.
We are able to provide RatePunk Cashback coins to you based on our agreements with third-party affiliate networks and/or third-party merchants in connection with your purchases. As such, we can only provide RatePunk Cashback coins to you when an action is successfully completed and tracked and after the relevant third-party completes its obligations to us with respect to such action. If the relevant third-party does not fulfil its obligations to us under the applicable agreement, then RatePunk may choose not to provide the RatePunk Cashback coins associated with that transaction to you. This includes instances where there are difficulties in tracking a transaction due to your use of an ad blocker or another service similar to RatePunk. This could occur if, for example, you have downloaded another browser extension that provides a service similar to RatePunk or navigated to a third-party merchant site by clicking on a link from another website that provides discount codes or price tracking services.
If you have questions or issues in connection with earning RatePunk Cashback coins for your transaction, please contact us hi@ratepunk.com. We may require you to provide copies of your order confirmation, order number, or other proof of purchase. We may elect to provide you RatePunk Cashback coins based on the information you provide.
Provided your account is active and in good standing, once you accumulate enough RatePunk Cashback coins, you can redeem those RatePunk Cashback coins into money as disclosed within the Service. RatePunk Cashback coins redemption option requires that you have a valid PayPal account in good-standing to successfully complete a redemption option. You may be required to collect a minimum amount of RatePunk Cashback coins (it is 100 RatePunk Coins) to cash it out (100 RatePunk Coins equals $10). This redemption is final and cannot be reversed once initiated by you. We may place other limitations on your ability to redeem RatePunk Cashback coins.
Redemption option is offered subject to availability, and may vary based on your location, and other limitations or factors, and may be subject to additional specific terms or limitations. Available redemption option for you will be displayed to you within the Service. Once the redemption is initiated, by you, it may take a certain amount of time for you to receive your award following completion of your redemption (for example, 5 working days, but this may be longer in some instances depending on the particular redemption option).
RatePunk Cashback coins cannot be purchased, are not your property, are not money, can expire as described below, and have no value prior to redemption. Upon redemption, additional terms may apply. RatePunk Cashback coins are not transferrable under any circumstances. Without limiting the foregoing, RatePunk Cashback coins are not descendible, and may not be transferred by operation of law (including via inheritance, bankruptcy, or in the event of divorce). It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the benefits you receive through the redemption of RatePunk Cashback coins, and it is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report and remit the correct taxes to the appropriate authority. We are not responsible for determining whether any taxes apply to your transaction or redemption, or for calculating, collecting, reporting or remitting taxes arising from any transaction or redemption.
RatePunk reserves the right at any time to cancel, modify, or restrict any aspect of our RatePunk Cashback Program, including any point redemption ratios, expiration terms, etc. RatePunk reserves the right to apply such changes retroactively to RatePunk Cashback coins already accrued. You agree that RatePunk has the right to limit the quantity of RatePunk Cashback coins you may earn, refuse to provide you RatePunk Cashback coins, or otherwise modify, restrict or limit your ability to earn or redeem RatePunk Cashback coins where RatePunk reasonably suspects that you have abused any RatePunk Cashback Program benefits or privileges, or have violated or acted inconsistently with this Agreement or applicable law. Unless doing so would put us at risk, in such cases, RatePunk will notify you. Abuse or violations that may result in suspension or termination include (but are not limited to): (i) using automated or fraudulent means (including artificially manufacturing transactions/spend) to earn RatePunk Cashback coins or otherwise participate in the RatePunk Cashback Program; (ii) your failure to abide by the requirements of this Agreement; (iii) the attempted or actual purchase, sale, or transfer of any RatePunk Cashback coins, and (iv) making a misrepresentation to RatePunk in connection with your participation in the RatePunk Cashback Program. You understand and agree that termination of your participation in the RatePunk Cashback Program will result in the immediate forfeiture of all RatePunk Cashback coins.
Maintenance of RatePunk Cashback Coins
To maintain your RatePunk Cashback coins, you must have an Active Account (as defined below) and earn at least 10 RatePunk Cashback coins during each consecutive 365 day period (for example, from April 10th of this year to April 10th of next year) (each a “365 Day Period”). An active account is a RatePunk account which you have made a purchase through, or logged into, during the prior 365 Day Period and earned at least 10 new RatePunk Cashback coins during that 365 Day Period (an “Active Account”). This means that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if you have not logged into your RatePunk account or made a purchase through it, and earned at least 10 new RatePunk Cashback coins in the last 365 Day Period, RatePunk has the right to reduce your RatePunk Cashback coins balance to zero (0), but we will notify you before that happens. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any disputes about any such reduction of your RatePunk Cashback coins will be resolved by RatePunk, and you agree to abide by RatePunk’s resolution of such dispute.
If your RatePunk account is closed for any reason, you will no longer be able to redeem any RatePunk Cashback coins.

3. BOOKING REQUESTS AND CONFIRMATION
In order to purchase Provider Products or Services, the Client shall make the Booking Request in the Reservation System. Once the Booking Request has been submitted, the Reservation System will automatically confirm it and send a confirmation email message to the email address provided by the Client. Only when Provider confirms Booking Request, it becomes a definitive Booking not requiring Provider reconfirmation. The corresponding Booking Request is not considered to be confirmed or canceled, until the Provider confirmation email message is received.
Booking Request, also requests to amend or cancel the Booking cannot be accepted by telephone.
It is the Client’s responsibility to read the Special Booking Terms accompanying any Booking, Booking request, amendment, confirmation, cancellation or information otherwise brought to the Client’s attention by Provider and to ensure the Client is aware of all points affecting responsibilities of the Client. The Client will be liable for any charges or fees specified in Special Booking Terms of the corresponding Bookings the Client makes or attempts to make via Reservation System or otherwise.
Please note that each Booking must have all Client names mentioned in full. The name entered first will automatically be assigned as lead name. Please state all names as written in the passport to ensure a smooth check-in. For many cities in the USA, above all for Las Vegas and New York City, all Client names are mandatory based on requirements of the local or national authorities. In case not all names are specified in full, the Supplier or service provider may cancel your booking without prior notification. It is the Client’s responsibility to check the personal details carefully before confirming a Booking as incorrect details may result in cancellation of the Booking.
Please note that all Accommodation service Suppliers on the Provider Reservation System requires one of the clients to be at least 18 years old. In some states of the United States of America there are higher age limits. If you have booked accommodation in the United States and the clients are under 25 years of age, please contact the Supplier directly for clarification. This is fully the Client’s responsibility and Provider will not take any responsibility for violation of these policies.
4. AMENDMENTS
In most cases Booking amendments can be made through the Provider Reservation System. If it is not possible to make an amendment of the corresponding Booking on Provider Reservation System, the Client must contact Provider by sending an email with an amendment request to the Provider customer support (see section Contact Details) before the Cancellation deadline of the specific Booking. Provider shall not process any of Client’s requests made by phone. If the Client notifies Provider of cancellation without complying with the above-mentioned conditions, the order shall be considered as not to have been canceled and the original status of Bookings will be deemed accurate and applicable for all purposes, including charges and payments obligations.
Any amendments may be subject to new prices and new Special Booking Terms. In certain cases, name or any other changes are not permitted and the Booking may need to be canceled and rebooked and new prices and/or cancellation fees may apply.
Booking amendments can only be dealt with when requested by the Client to Provider.
5. CANCELLATION AND CANCELLATION POLICY
Bookings can be canceled by sending a written email to Provider Customer Support (see section Contact Details), detailing the Booking number, service name and passenger name. Provider will send an acknowledgement of receipt and inform of all the charges, if any, which may be applicable. Booking cancellation request email is only acceptable and held legitimate if it comes from the Client directly.
When making a Booking Request, the Reservation System always provides the Cancellation Policy and Special Booking Terms which apply for the requested Product or Service. The Free Cancellation Deadline specified in Cancellation Policy will be also provided together with Booking Confirmation, except when it is provided by Provider later (after receiving notice from the Supplier). Cancellations made before the Free Cancellation Deadline will not be charged. Cancellations made on and after the Free Cancellation Deadline will be subject to the Cancellation Penalty specified in Cancellation Policy.
Some of the Products or Services may not have a Free Cancellation Deadline and the Cancellation Penalty applies once the Booking is made. The Client confirms to be aware that in case such Booking is confirmed and canceled afterwards, charges will apply. This kind of Bookings as well as cancellation policies are often referred to as non-refundable or non-ref.
Any requests for cancellation on or after the Booking Service-start date must be sent to Provider Customer Support (see section Contact Details), which will inform you regarding any penalties that may be applied. Provider will charge the Cancellation Penalty as per Supplier‘s policy, which can vary up to 100% of the amount of the Booking.
In case the Supplier or the provider of the Product or Service confirms directly to the Client the cancellation free of charge after the Free cancellation deadline, the Client must present a written confirmation of free cancellation from the Supplier or the provider of the Product or Service. This written confirmation does not guarantee a refund of the Cancellation Penalty, but Provider will do their best to reduce or waive the Cancellation Penalty completely. Regardless, the Provider has the right to charge the Client as per the Booking Cancellation policy.
In cases when a Client asks to cancel the Booking one working day before Free Cancellation Deadline and doesn’t get canceled, depending on the reasoning of the cancellation, Cancellation Penalty may apply. All Booking cancellation emails must be sent at least 3 business days before the free cancellation deadline, which is provided in the confirmation email.
No show by the Client at the Product or Service supplier in due time without prior notice shall be considered a cancellation.
Occasionally Suppliers or service providers report Provider about the errors in their cancellation policies. In such cases Provider reserves the right to modify the terms of Cancellation Policy applied for the Client even after the confirmation of a Booking. The Client will be informed about such modifications by email.
Provider reserves at its absolute discretion the right to cancel Client’s Bookings if they appear to have been made for the purpose of “holding space” for future sale or otherwise made in bad faith or contrary to these Terms & Conditions and/or the Agreement.
6. UNUSED SERVICES AND NO SHOWS
Generally, Products or Services are non-refundable after Service-strat, even if it is used only partially.
If the Client fails to show up at the Supplier the due date and/or time and does not advise Provider and Supplier of the same, the remaining portion of the Booking may be canceled without further notice. Unless specified otherwise, the Client may not receive a refund for all or part of the booking in the event of "no show".
7. PRICES
Unless otherwise stated, all prices shown in the Reservation System are NET and deemed to be definitive at the moment of confirmation. Prices of Products or Services are subject to change until the Booking is confirmed.
Prices of Products or Services do not include any additional fees imposed by the supplier for cribs, rollaway beds, baggage fees, gratuities, meals and beverages, mini-bar, snacks, shows, tours, tips, telephone calls, liquor, laundry, and other surcharges or other services and purchases of a personal and/or supplementary nature which are not otherwise specified in the quoted prices or which are excluded from the price. The Supplier will assess these additional fees, charges, and surcharges directly to the Client. All personal charges must be paid at the time of service or as designated by the Supplier.
Prices shown in the Reservation System exclude any transaction fees or bank charges, which may occur depending on the payment method chosen by the Client (credit card, online banking or other online payments). Prices also exclude any government or authority taxes payable locally e.g. tourist/local/ecology/city tax.
Provider reserves the right to vary Prices after confirmation has been given only in the case of variations in VAT or other applicable taxes, or other conditions beyond Provider's control, such as exchange rate variations in excess of 3%, changes in the periods of trade fair events by hotels or similar situations.
Provider has a right to change Prices unilaterally or cancel Bookings after wrong publications on the Reservation System which contain obvious erroneous mistakes in prices and/or descriptions.
In case the Booking is for Accommodation Services prices quoted are per room.
8. PAYMENTS
All Bookings will be settled by the Client by means of prepayment in full no later than the final payment date (payment due date) specified by Provider, unless a specific alternative Agreement has been made between the Client and Provider. The final payment date will be specified both online and/or on the invoice which will be sent to the email address provided by the Client once the Booking has been made.
The Client shall pay the amount due for the Booking by bank transfer, or by any other payment method approved by Provider. Provider will not accept any payments made by any third party.
If the payment has not been received, the Provider is entitled to cancel the Booking. Any cancellation cost of the Booking will be invoiced to the Client.
If the Booking is made within Free Cancellation Deadline or if the Booking is a subject to Cancellation Penalty as of the moment of its confirmation, the Booking must be paid immediately. If, in this case, the due amount has not been received within 24 (twenty-four) hours after making the Booking, the Provider has the right to cancel it. Any cancellation costs will be invoiced to the Client.
If the Booking is made anytime before the Free Cancellation Deadline, the Client has a right to choose “Pay Later”. In this case, the Client submits their credit card details and on the Free Cancellation Deadline the Provider will automatically charge the Client’s credit card. It is the Client’s responsibility to submit the correct credit card details throughout the Booking Process. If on the payment day the Provider does not succeed to charge the Client’s credit card for any reason, the Provider has the right to cancel the Booking and Cancellation Penalty may apply.
All payments must be made in the currency that appears on the Provider invoice.
Booking numbers provided by the Reservation System must be included upon payment submission, in order Provider could clearly identify the Bookings to which the payment corresponds.
If for any reason the payment might not be received by Provider by the payment due date, the Client must send by email a copy of the payment to Provider Customer Support (see section Contact Details).
Provider will never settle with the Supplier before receiving the payment from the Client and cannot be held responsible for any consequences taken or not taken by the Supplier because of pending payments.
The Client is responsible for payment of all bank charges when making payments into the Provider’s bank accounts. Provider will not accept any charges from intermediary banks.
Before payment is received in full, Provider or the Supplier is not obliged to issue any tickets, confirmations, or other travel documents.
After receiving the payment Provider will send the confirmation or other travel documents by email to the Client.
Provider will invoice the Client for bookings electronically. Invoices shall be issued and sent to the email address provided (specified) by the Client in no later than 1 (one) week after the Booking Service-end date.

9. ACCOMMODATION SERVICES
9.1. ACCOMMODATION CATEGORIES, DESCRIPTIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHS
The categorization of the accommodation with stars is used to give a general overview of the quality of the accommodation and approximate level of facilities, services and amenities available. The criteria of these evaluations can vary in each country, depending on the local institution that defines the criteria. In certain countries the categorization with stars is not used for an official evaluation.
Accommodation descriptions in Provider Reservation System represent a generalization of all worldwide accepted criteria and can only be used as a guideline source. Provider cannot guarantee a particular level of quality or standard of accommodation and is not responsible for the categories and star ratings as these have been provided to Provider and accepted in good faith. Provider is also not responsible for the accuracy of the information provided in the accommodation textual description, including, but not limited to contact details (address, coordinates, telephone number, email etc.), range of provided services etc.
Hotel and/or guest room photographs are provided to give a general overview of the accommodation. Guest room photographs may be of a different category to the one the Client books and not identical to the room Client is allocated at the accommodation.
Star ratings do not necessarily reflect all the amenities or services that might be available at an Accommodation, and some amenities and features may not be available in every room or at every property with a particular star rating. If there are particular amenities or features that are important to you, please contact Provider Customer Support (see section Contact Details) and inquire as to the availability of such amenities or features.
9.2. SPECIAL REQUESTS
If the Client has any special requests (for example, dietary requirements or room location) the Client must specify it during the Reservation Process, or such requests can be sent by email to Provider customer support (see section Contact Details) immediately after the Booking Request is made. Provider will pass on all such requests to the relevant Supplier. Unfortunately, Provider cannot guarantee that such special requests will be met. If the Supplier is unable to meet any such requests, neither Provider nor Supplier can have any liability to the Client in this respect.
9.3. CHANGES OF ACCOMMODATION BOOKING
Provider will always do its best to ensure that all confirmed Bookings are accepted by the Accommodation Service provider. If for some reason the Booking cannot be honored by Accommodation Service supplier (e.g. accommodation is closed, overbooked, has maintenance problems, cannot provide/honor the room(s) booked, etc.), Provider is responsible for finding alternative accommodation of a similar standard to the Client. If the alternative hotel is not acceptable to the Client, the Client may receive a full refund for the paid Booking and no charges are applied even if the Booking is non-refundable. If the Client decides to book an alternative property or the original accommodation at a higher rate by themselves, the conditions of the compensation should be agreed in advance, otherwise the refund of the price difference is not guaranteed.
If the Client accepts Provider offer of the alternative accommodation, the Client is deemed to waive the right to a refund for the accommodation which cannot be honored by the accommodation supplier.
When the Provider receives prior notice from the Supplier about the changes of accommodation, Provider shall advise the Client immediately and contact by email, upon receipt of such notice from the Supplier. Provider will issue all the support and assistance for the best possible solution, however it cannot be held responsible and accepts no liability for any losses or costs that might occur as a result of relocation as this is completely beyond Provider control.
10. EMERGENCY SUPPORT
In case the Client would be refused at check-in or whenever the Client is asked to pay directly to the Supplier for the services listed on the confirmation, the Client shall immediately contact Provider by an email (see section Contact Details).
Provider emails (including Customer Support email) are only monitored during office working hours (see section Contact Details).
In case the Client is charged by the Supplier for the services which are already included in the initial Booking confirmation, all receipts and/or other proof of payment must be collected and submitted to Provider for a claim and request of refund or adjustment.
In case the Client fails to contact Provider Customer Support, no refund can be claimed, as Provider was not given the chance to solve the matter and it may be that late cancellation or no-show charges apply.
11. COMPLAINTS
Any Complaints about improper Products or Services should be brought to the attention of the Product or Service supplier on the spot. In case the problem has not been satisfactorily solved during the time the Product or Service is being used, the Client must send the complaint with all relevant correspondence to Provider in writing. Provider will not, in any event, handle any complaint that was not brought to the attention of the Supplier or Provider during the time the Product or Service being used and Provider will not deal with any complaints received later than 15 (fifteen) days after Service-end date.
Provider only accepts complaints that are sent in writing by email to Provider Customer Support (see section Contact Details) and which are accompanied by a written proof that the problem was reported on the spot to the Supplier’s management.
12. THE CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
The Client is fully responsible for all Bookings made through Provider Reservation System.
Provider has no responsibility for losses or accidental expenses due to delay or changes in transport schedules, defaults or overbooking by airlines, sickness, Force Majeure Events or any other causes that are beyond Provider’s and the Supplier’s control. All such losses or expenses are the Client’s responsibility. Provider strongly recommends buying appropriate private insurance prior to a trip.
Travel documents, including visas, as well as the compliance with customs regulations, are the Client’s and its party’s responsibility. Provider shall not be liable for costs incurred by Clients not carrying proper travel documentation.
In case the Client or any member of its party behave in an inappropriate manner or cause damage, distress, offense or injuries to others or if the Client’s actions risk damage to persons or property of others including the Supplier or third parties, the Client will bear the full consequences and costs of eventual actions taken against the Client by Provider, the Supplier or legal authorities.
Should Provider be held liable for any costs, damages, fines, fees etc. as a consequence of the Client’s or a member of its party’s inappropriate actions by the supplier or third parties (including legal authorities), the Client shall fully indemnify and hold Provider harmless from any of such claims (including legal fees incurred by Provider in order to defend itself).
