Legal Agreement

Terms of Service

These terms define the relationship between you, AtlasBooking, and participating hotel operators. Please read them carefully before completing any reservation.

Last Updated: September 2026•Jurisdiction: FDRE

Software Interface Role

AtlasBooking is an automated booking engine connecting guests with independent hotels, not a hotelier itself.

Guest Responsibilities

Guests must provide accurate credentials and strictly abide by individual hotel property policies upon check-in.

Ethiopian Governing Law

All agreements, dispute resolutions, and platform transactions are subject to the laws of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

01.Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or completing a reservation through the AtlasBooking software application, domain storefronts, or associated services (collectively, the "Platform"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by these Terms of Service.

If you do not agree to these terms, you must discontinue using the Platform immediately.

02.Platform Role & Service Model

Software Provider Distinction: AtlasBooking operates exclusively as an automated software and booking technology provider. AtlasBooking provides an interface connecting traveling guests with independent hotel and resort operators.

AtlasBooking is not a hotelier, travel agency, real estate operator, or hospitality provider. We do not own, manage, furnish, operate, or staff any hotel property listed on the platform. The contractual agreement for physical lodging, hospitality services, and on-premises amenities exists solely between the guest and the independent hotel operator.

03.User Obligations & Checkout Accuracy

When using AtlasBooking, you assume the following responsibilities:

  • Accuracy of Guest Information: You must supply authentic, accurate, and current personal credentials during checkout—including valid legal name, active telephone number, and reachable email address. Inaccurate names or contact numbers may result in forfeited bookings or denied check-in by the property.
  • Identity Verification: Guests must present matching government-issued photo identification (such as Ethiopian National ID, Kebele ID, Resident ID, or Passport) and any required verification documents upon physical check-in at the hotel.
  • Property Rules Compliance: You agree to abide fully by the individual hotel property's house rules, occupancy limits, pet policies, check-in/check-out schedules, quiet hours, and security regulations. Hotels reserve full legal authority to eject or deny admission to guests violating on-site rules.

04.Payments & Confirmation Codes

All booking transactions require successful payment verification through our integrated payment partner, Chapa (chapa.co). A reservation is only confirmed once a unique booking reference code and digital receipt are generated.

As detailed in our Cancellation Policy, confirmed online reservations are strictly non-refundable upon payment completion.

05.Limitation of Liability & Disclaimers

Disclaimer of Hotel Operational Warranties

AtlasBooking expressly disclaims liability for the physical condition, cleanliness, safety, power supplies, internet connectivity, water infrastructure, food service, or general quality of any hotel property. Any grievances regarding hotel room standards or service delivery must be raised directly with hotel management.

Force Majeure Events

AtlasBooking shall not be held liable or considered in default for delays, disruptions, or reservation cancellations arising from causes beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, extreme weather, civil unrest, government restrictions, utility disruptions, or national telecommunication outages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AtlasBooking's aggregate liability for any direct claim arising from platform usage shall not exceed the technology fee retained by AtlasBooking for the specific transaction in dispute.

06.Intellectual Property

The AtlasBooking brand, user interface designs, booking engine code, database schemas, and proprietary digital assets remain the exclusive intellectual property of AtlasBooking. Unauthorized copying, scraping, reverse engineering, or resale of platform code or branding is strictly prohibited.

07.Governing Law & Jurisdiction

Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia

These Terms of Service and any contractual disputes arising out of or related to your use of the AtlasBooking platform shall be governed by, interpreted, and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

Any legal disputes, arbitrations, or formal actions shall be instituted exclusively in the competent courts located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
