Terms of Service
Terms for using hotelSlots.
Welcome to app.hotelslots.org. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the app.hotelslots.org website and platform (collectively, the "Platform"), operated by hotelhuddle ("hotelhuddle," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Platform.
1. Description of Service
app.hotelslots.org is a group hotel booking platform that enables users to submit requests for proposals (RFPs) to hotels for group room bookings. The Platform connects groups—such as businesses, organizations, event planners, and travel coordinators—with hotels to facilitate the negotiation and booking of room blocks at competitive rates.
Our service area covers the United States, excluding Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, and Washington. By using the Platform, you represent that you are seeking group hotel bookings in jurisdictions where our services are available.
app.hotelslots.org acts as an intermediary platform and is not a party to any hotel booking agreement between you and a hotel. All final booking terms, including rates, room availability, and hotel policies, are determined solely by the respective hotel.
2. User Accounts
2.1 Account Registration
To use certain features of the Platform, you must create a user account. When you register, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account information updated.
- Maintain the security of your account credentials and accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.
- Notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.
- Not create an account using false information or on behalf of another person without their authorization.
2.2 Account Types
The Platform is free to use. RFP submissions are free — there are no subscription plans, per-request fees, or hidden charges. The features and limitations of the Platform are described on our website. We reserve the right to modify features with reasonable notice.
2.3 Account Suspension and Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or misuse the Platform. Upon termination, the provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive will remain in effect.
3. Booking Process
3.1 Request for Proposal (RFP) Submission
The core of our Platform is the RFP submission process. When you submit an RFP, you provide details about your group's travel needs—including destination, dates, number of rooms, and room type preferences—and we distribute your request to relevant hotels in our network.
3.2 RFP Fee
RFP submissions are free on app.hotelslots.org. There is no charge for submitting requests. All users enjoy unlimited RFP submissions at no cost.
After you submit an RFP, hotels may respond with proposals including room rates, availability, and terms. We strive to connect you with a minimum of five (5) hotel responses within seven (7) days. If we are unable to connect you with at least five (5) hotel offers and you do not accept any of them, you may request a refund as described in our Refund Policy. We make no guarantee regarding the rates offered or the availability of rooms. All proposals are subject to change by the hotel prior to booking confirmation. A booking is not confirmed until you have directly completed a reservation with the hotel according to their booking procedures. app.hotelslots.org does not guarantee room availability, hotel acceptance, or the accuracy of any hotel's quoted rates or terms. Subscription fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on your plan). Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle until you cancel through your account settings. Payment is processed through Stripe, our third-party payment processor, and is due at the beginning of each billing cycle. You may cancel at any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. RFP submissions are free. No fee is charged at the time of submission. You must maintain a valid payment method on file. If a payment fails, we may attempt to charge the method again or contact you for updated payment information. Unpaid balances may result in suspension of your account and access to the Platform. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for any taxes that may apply to your use of the Platform. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial-month or partial-year refunds will be issued for unused subscription time. RFP submissions are free. Our service is complete when either (a) we provide a minimum of five (5) hotel responses, or (b) you accept any offer regardless of the number of responses. If fewer than five responses are received and no offer is accepted, you may resubmit at no cost. If you have any concerns, please contact us at legal@hotelhuddle.com. Cancellation of hotel bookings is subject to the individual hotel's cancellation policy. app.hotelslots.org is not responsible for hotel cancellation fees, deposits, or penalties. Please review the cancellation terms provided by the hotel before confirming a booking.

Your account and login credentials work seamlessly across the entire network. RFP submissions are free across all HotelHuddle family sites. There are no per-request fees. Your account data, including profile information, subscription status, and RFP history, is shared across all HotelHuddle family sites through our centralized database. This enables seamless access and a consistent experience regardless of which domain you are using. Company data, including team membership and booking visibility, is also shared across domains. To provide a seamless experience, when you enter search details on any HotelHuddle family site, your IP address may be associated with those search details to recognize you as a returning visitor and show a "Continue where you left off" experience across our family of sites, even if you have not created an account. See our Privacy Policy for details and retention. Company (team) accounts are free. Organizations can create a company profile, invite team members, and manage RFPs at no cost across every HotelHuddle family site. The company administrator may invite, remove, and manage team members through the company dashboard. When a team member is added or removed, the subscription quantity is adjusted accordingly. Removed members retain their individual account but lose company-level features and access. Companies may submit Last Negotiated Rate (LNR) requests at no cost, which includes up to 50 destinations.
