The following terms and conditions shall apply when you purchased TAV.  Please read these terms and conditions carefully and your acceptance of these terms and conditions is signified by your purchase of the TAV.

TAV can only be purchased via our online shop at www.theaficionados.com. Your access to our website is subject to the legal terms governing its use.

We act solely as the issuer of the TAV and are the legal owner of each TAV issued by us. Upon redemption, the legal contract for the provision of benefits and any other services is made with the member Hotel that the voucher is being redeemed at.

TAV can only be redeemed at participating member Hotels which are listed on our website.

Each TAV features a unique serial number and valid for 12 months from date of purchase, subject to the TAV being validated. You must validate the TAV by sending an email to contact@theaficionados.com.  If the TAV is not validated within the 12 months, it will automatically expire and be unredeemable.  Validation must be completed before travel to any of the participating member Hotel.

Once validated, bookings must be made and used within the 12 months and may not be redeemed beyond that period unless we have given our prior written consent to extend the validity of the TAV.

TAV are issued in Euros.  When redeeming the TAV at a member Hotel, the TAV value will be redeemed by the member Hotel in their local currency at the exchange rate as determined by member Hotel and used against the billable amount at the payment stage.

Member Hotels must be advised about the use of TAV including the serial number at the time of making the booking and the TAV must be presented to the member Hotel upon arrival.

TAV may be invalid if cardholder information provided at the time of booking is incorrect or if the payment is declined.

TAV cannot be redeemed against multiple transactions or at multiple destinations.

Your reservation must be booked directly with the Hotel via Hotel's online booking portal or via voice, email reservations. Travel can only be booked to a maximum of 3-months advance to the arrival date.

TAV are redeemable against the total cost during the stay at the member Hotel, including accommodation as well as 'in-house' incidental expenses such as spa and restaurant subject to confirmation by the member Hotel. Some hotels lease out their restaurant and spa experiences, check with Hotel staff upon arrival.

TAV cannot be exchanged for cash. No change will be given if not wholly used in the settlement with the member Hotel.

If the TAV does not cover the full cost of the total stay at the member Hotel, you must pay the balance to the member Hotel in cash or by a valid credit/debit card.  The member Hotel’s terms and conditions shall apply and you may be required to provide a valid credit card number at the time of making the booking in order to guarantee the reservation.

TAV redemption is subject to availability.

Lost or misplaced TAV can be replaced subject to the submission of proof of purchase or if you were not the purchaser, a written confirmation from the purchaser that you being the intended recipient of the TAV.
