Partner Terms

Public terms and collaboration principles for professional accommodation partners

This page describes the overarching principles for collaboration between BNO Travel and professional accommodation partners. The commercial model, individual conditions and partner-specific setup are agreed separately in an individual partnership agreement.

For Mews partners

A clear framework for collaboration, connectivity and distribution

The terms page is designed for professional operators who want a clear understanding of how BNO Travel works with distribution, technical setup, content and the operational division of responsibilities.

1. Scope of cooperation

BNO Travel acts as a distributor for professional accommodation partners in its own digital channels

The collaboration is aimed at professional operators who want accommodation distribution through BNO Travel’s channels. The purpose is to establish a structured collaboration in which units, product data and availability can be presented and distributed in a way that is clear both commercially and technically. The contractual framework also allows for later expansion into other service categories by special agreement.

Professional accommodation partners

The partnership is designed for hotels, apartment hotels, resorts, destination companies and other businesses that operate professionally with availability, pricing and bookings across multiple channels.

Limited public terms page

This page describes the public and overarching framework for the collaboration. The commercial model, settlement and partner-specific terms are regulated in separate agreement documents and are not included in this open presentation.

2. Technical prerequisites

The collaboration requires a setup that enables efficient management of pricing, capacity and booking flow

The contractual logic is based on the partner and BNO Travel jointly establishing the most direct and efficient technical connection possible, for example through API, a channel manager or a similar integration. For Mews partners, this is a central part of the collaboration model.

Connectivity Availability, pricing and product data must be manageable within a structured workflow
Testing The parties carry out testing and verification before regular operations and go-live
Stable operation The solution must not depend on significant manual extra work for the partner

Go-live only takes place once the setup works satisfactorily

The contractual framework includes a clear requirement for testing, verification and a setup that genuinely works in practice before regular operations begin. This is an important principle both for partner quality and for the guest experience.

3. Product data and images

Updated content and accurate product data are a fundamental requirement for collaboration

For BNO Travel to present the units in a clear and accurate way, the partner must ensure that product data, descriptions, availability information and images are up to date and available for use in sales and marketing. The contractual framework also requires the partner to hold the necessary rights to share the images.

Updated product content

Units, room types, descriptions and practical information must be suitable for digital presentation and kept up to date in the event of significant changes.

Images with the necessary rights

The partner must ensure that image material can be used by BNO Travel across relevant marketing and sales channels during the agreement period, within the framework of the collaboration.

Data that can be used in practice

The quality of product data and images affects both visibility, conversion and guest expectation management. This is why it is a central part of the partner foundation.

4. Pricing and availability principles

Pricing and availability must be managed in a clear and predictable way

The contractual logic is based on the principle that, as a general rule, the parties seek price and availability parity across comparable open sales channels, while still allowing for closed, segmented or time-limited campaigns by further agreement and notification.

Price parity as a starting point

As a general rule, the parties work on the basis of comparable pricing and availability across relevant open sales channels, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Campaigns and specific exceptions

Closed or segmented campaigns, loyalty offers and other specific pricing mechanisms may be handled separately. These matters are regulated in more detail within the individual collaboration.

5. Booking and guest communication

The roles between intermediary and supplier must be clear to both partner and guest

In the collaboration model, BNO Travel is the intermediary of the booking in its own channels, while the partner remains the supplier of the stay itself. This means that the partner handles matters related to delivery, check-in and the on-site stay, while BNO Travel handles its part of the distribution and booking flow.

BNO Travel

BNO Travel handles distribution, digital presentation and matters related to the part of the booking experience that takes place in its own channels.

The partner

The partner handles the guest’s stay, including standards, on-site availability, check-in, operations and other delivery matters related to the accommodation.

6. Changes and cancellations

Changes and cancellations are handled according to a model in which the partner’s terms remain central

For the stay delivered by the partner, the partner’s own terms apply. At the same time, BNO Travel may have its own terms related to its part of the distribution. It is therefore important that the guest receives clear information on how the different parts of the booking are handled.

The partner’s stay terms

Changes and cancellations related to the stay itself follow the partner’s terms, as communicated in the specific booking flow.

Clear information for the guest

The guest must receive clear information on how the booking is structured and which terms apply to the different parts of the purchase.

Individual agreements regulate the details

More detailed refund and process rules are handled in the partner agreement and are not included as a public part of this terms page.

7. Go-live, duration and offboarding

The collaboration is designed for a controlled launch, ongoing operations and orderly offboarding when needed

The contractual logic includes both the start-up period, testing before go-live and mechanisms for notice and termination if the collaboration does not function as intended. The important point for a public terms page is that the collaboration is intended as a professional process – not a non-binding listing. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Details concerning duration, termination, commercial terms and specific limitations of responsibility are regulated in the individual agreement between the parties.
