Introduction and scope of the Hang-Out Service
We are Hang-Out Ltd of 71-75 Shelton Street, London, England, WC2H 9JQ (‘We’, ‘us, ‘our’ or ‘Hang-Out Ltd’). We provide a booking facilitation platform (the ‘Platform’) for the booking of tours and tourist services (‘Tourist Services’) in the form of an online offer via the internet and apps. The offers are placed online by a range of suppliers around the world (“Suppliers”) with whom the respective contracts for Tourist Services are concluded with consumers of those services (‘Users’). The Suppliers’ services can be accessed via the Platform and bookings can be made by Users. Contracts are facilitated between Users and Suppliers using the Platform.
Contracts for Tourist Services are concluded directly between Users Suppliers of Tourist Services. When facilitating a booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable Supplier(s). Users’ contracts with us are subject to these Terms and Conditions and the specific booking conditions of the relevant Supplier(s) Users contract with and Users are advised to read both carefully prior to booking. The Supplier’s terms and conditions may limit and/or exclude the Supplier's liability to you. Copies of applicable conditions are available on request from us or the supplier concerned. Hang-Out Ltd does not appear itself as the organiser, lessor, seller or other contract partner with regards to the Tourist Service agreement with the User. The Platform does not make available ‘packages’ or ‘Linked Travel Arrangements’ as definied in the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements 2018, The Civil Aviation (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing) Regulations 2012 and The Civil Aviation (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing) (Amendment) Regulations 2018.
Hang-Out Ltd may also provide the Platform to certain cooperating partners who we may authorise to use it for the booking of Suppliers’ tourist services. The use of this Platform by such partners requires a separate contractual agreement and is not permitted without the prior written authorisation of Hang-Out Ltd. If Users book services via a third party, such User shll have a contract directly with the Supplier, via that third party and not Hang-Out Ltd.
We are an English registered company and so these terms are governed by English law and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction over any dispute (unless at the time you make a booking, your normal place of residence is in another country, in which case you can bring proceedings in your local court under your local law, as applicable.)
The following terms apply to the use of any of the Hang-Out Ltd Apps Hangout on Holiday Hangout Ski, Hangout Hotels, Love Greece & Your Resort and the website hangoutonholiday.com (together the ‘Platform’).

You may (i) only use the Platform in object code form and for your personal purposes (if you are a consumer) or for your internal business purposes (if you are a business); (ii) only use such number of copies of the Platform and make such number of backup copies of the Platform as may be necessary for their lawful use; (iii) not nor permit any third party to copy, adapt, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, adapt or make error corrections to the Platform in whole or in part; (iv) not rent, lease, sub-license, loan, translate, merge, adapt or modify the Platform or any associated documentation; (v) not disassemble, de-compile, reverse engineer or create derivative works based on the whole or any part of Platform nor attempt to do any such things.

The use of Hang-Out Ltd Platform’s offer can generally be done anonymously.
Certain types of use of Hang-Out Ltd Platform, such as the making of bookings, require registration. During registration, the User sends an electronic registration form and consents to the General Terms and Conditions. The registration with Hang-Out Ltd is only concluded once a confirmation is sent to the e-mail address specified by the User. Natural individuals must be over the age of 18 in order to register.
The User has to keep the password he/she sets secret and take suitable precautions to prevent third parties becoming aware of it.
The creation of more than one user account for the same natural individual or legal entity is not permitted. The user account cannot be transferred.
Once the user has entered his/her desired search parameters on the Hang-Out Ltd Platform (e.g. travel destination, type of tour, start time, number of participants & price options), or has landed on an accommodation facility or resort page, Hang-Out Ltd shall show the User the information about the Suppliers’ services (“service information“).
Based on this information, the User can, where applicable after checking availability, make a contractual offer, by placing an offer, to be sent to the respective Supplier, whereby the sub-intermediates act on behalf of the referred User.
This happens, after the selection and transfer to the booking confirmation page, by clicking on the button “book’.
Hang-Out Ltd shall notify the User of the booking conditions of the Supplier for their contractual relationship with the user and for their services. They are availablew on request from us or the Supplier concerned. The User is responsible for meeting and complying with these conditions.

Hang-Out Ltd assumes no guarantee for the accuracy of forwarded data, or for the performance of services by the Supplier, as all the information indicated and forwarded is based on data from Suppliers or third parties, which Hang-Out Ltd cannot check in detail.
The contract concluded between the Supplier and the User shall set out the fees to be paid by the User for the Tourist Services of the Supplier.
Hang-Out Ltd is permitted to collect the invoiced amounts in the name of and on behalf of the Supplier. Hang-Out Ltd can demand payment in the currency detailed on the booking user and the payment will be converted based on the current exchange rate at the time the contract is concluded. Hang-Out Ltd can charge the User a suitable conversion charge for this.
Disputes and queries about payment shall be made directly between the Supplier and the User.
To use the payment functions of Hang-Out Ltd, the user has to register. The User has to enter correct payment information and update the details immediately in the event of changes. Hang-Out Ltd can reject the payment method specified by the User. The User will be notified of the payment methods permitted for the respective service during the order process.
Upon the authorisation of the payment, the User consents to his/her payment information being used for the collection of payments by the Supplier. Hang-Out Ltd reserves the right to make the use of the payment function of Hang-Out Ltd dependent on a check of the credit rating of the User.
All prices on Hang-Out Ltd are quoted per person and include VAT and all other taxes. Local taxes may be charged locally.
The prices specified by Suppliers may be subjected to special conditions, for example with regards to cancellation and the refunding of payments made. Before making the booking, please check the Supplier’s terms as to such matters.
Important note: the information and prices shown on the Platform may have changed by the time a User comes to book Tourist Services. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of information and prices at the time of printing, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check the price and all other details of your chosen arrangements with the applicable Supplier at the time of booking. Hang-Out Ltd makes no guarantee or warranty for the accuracy or completeness of data provided by third parties (such as Suppliers).
Any cancellation or amendment request in relation to confirmed Tourist Services must be made directly with the applicable Supplier. Whilst we will try to assist, we cannot guarantee that such requests will be met. Amendments and cancellations can only be accepted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the supplier of your arrangements.
Except where otherwise specified, we Hang-Out Ltd act only as a booking facilitator in respect of all services provided via the Platform. We accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any Tourist Services or for the acts or omissions of any Supplier(s) or other person(s) or party(ies) connected with any Tourist Services.
Our responsibilities are limited to facilitataing a booking in accordance with the User’s and Supplier’s instructions. We accept no responsibility for any information about the Touist Services that we pass on to you in good faith.
In the event that we are found liable to a User or a Supplier on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability is limited to twice the cost of the booking in question (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the booking is affected).
We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
We will inform Users as soon as reasonably possible if the Supplier needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Toursit Services or to cancel them. We will also liaise between you and the Supplier in relation to any alternative arrangements offered by the Supplier but we will have no further liability to you.
Because the contract for Tourist Services is between the User and the Supplier, any queries or concerns should be addressed by the User to the Supplier or their agent immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Supplier to investigate and rectify a complaint. The amount of compensation a User may be entitled to may therefore be reduced or extinguished as a result.
Users can cancel their registration on Hang-Out Ltd at any time by blocking their user account. Hang-Out Ltd can cancel a registration unilaterally with one week’s notice. Claims which have arisen before this is done, remain unaffected.
For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) we are a data controller. In order to facilitate a User’s booking we need to collect certain personal details from Users. These will include, where applicable, the names and addresses of party members, their passport and insurance details, credit/debit card or other payment details and special requirements such as those relating to any disability or medical condition which may affect the chosen Tourist Services any dietary restrictions which may disclose religious beliefs. We must pass on your personal details to the Suppliers who need to know them so that your Tourist Services can be provided. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them, or otherwise as required by law. If you fail to provide us with this information, we may not be able to plan or confirm your booking so in making your booking we are entitled to assume you do not object to our doing any of the things mentioned above unless you specifically state otherwise in writing. We have appropriate security measures in place to protect the personal details you give us.
