As set forth in section 1.1.2, the accumulation of Points is subject to the Program Terms. Each Loyalty Program Member is responsible for reading the Program Terms, communications from the Company about the Loyalty Program, and account statements for his/her Membership Account in order to understand his or her rights, responsibilities, and status in the Loyalty Program, as well as the structure for earning and redeeming Awards. Missing points, if any, must be claimed within three (3) months of departure by contacting the H Rewards Service Center.</p> <p>1.7.2 Taxes. Points, Awards and other benefits earned through participating in the Loyalty Program may be taxable. Compliance with all tax obligations arising for a Member from the Loyalty Program due to his or her receipt or use of Points, Awards or other benefits, including the obligation to declare/disclose such benefits, is the sole responsibility of the Member.</p> <p>1.7.3 Prohibition on Transferring Points.

Any Points which the Loyalty Program deems to have been transferred in violation of the Program Terms may be confiscated.</p> <p>1.7.4 Points expiration policy. Points are valid for 24 months from the date of earning. If they are not redeemed within this validity period, Points will expire and become invalid automatically. The number of Points due to expire within the next 30 days is displayed on the Membership Account (App/Web) at all times.</p> <p>1.7.5 Forfeited or Cancelled Points.

If a Member choses to have miles/bonus points credited to another customer loyalty or rewards program, he/she will neither be credited his/her H Rewards Points, nor will his or her “Qualifying Charges” and “Status Night(s)” will be recorded for the stay concerned. If services are used at Participating Hotels based on tier-specific member rates, this shall not give rise to a right to be credited bonus points in another customer loyalty or reward program.</p> <p><strong>1.8 Membership Cancellation</strong> 1.8.1 Cancelling or Suspending Membership Accounts i. Cancelling by Member. A Member may cancel his/her membership in the Loyalty Program at any time by sending written notice (e.g. via email) of cancellation to H Rewards Service Center. His or her membership and the membership status achieved shall then end on the date the termination takes effect. All Points not redeemed by then will become invalid on the effective date of the termination and cannot be reinstated or transferred thereafter. However, vouchers for Awards that have already been issued remain valid (until the date specified on the respective voucher). ii. Cancelling or Suspending by the Company. The Company may cancel a Member’s Account without providing reasons subject to a four weeks’ notice (ordinary termination). However, an ordinary termination (i.e. termination without providing reasons) of a Higher Tier Membership by the Company is only possible at the earliest at the expiry of the existing Membership Tier Level of the Member. In case of an ordinary termination of a Member’s Account by the Company, all unredeemed Points, Redemption Awards, and promotional Awards as well as achieved member status will be forfeited after expiry of six (6) months from the effective date of cancellation and may not be reinstated or transferred thereafter. Regardless the Membership Tier Level of a Member, the Company may cancel a Member’s Account at any time with immediate effect, for cause including, without limitation, if the Member has: a) failed to pay any invoice amount due for services of a Participating Hotel, despite having received a reminder; b) acted in an inappropriate, fraudulent, abusive or hostile manner towards employees, customers or partners of Company or the Participating Hotels; c) culpably breached or violated any of these Program Terms; or d) fraudulently claimed eligibility to earn or redeem Points or enjoy benefits; iii. Legal Action. All rights of the Company to make claims against the Member remain unaffected and will not be limited by these Program Terms in any way.</p> <p>1.8.2 Effect of Membership Cancellation i. On cancellation of membership in the Loyalty Program by the Company for cause according to section 1.8.1 (ii.), all unredeemed Points of the Member will be forfeited without compensation and the respective Member will no longer be able to participate in the Loyalty Program. ii. If the Company cancels a Member’s Account, the Member may not reapply for membership in the Loyalty Program and any Account opened in the Member’s name and Points and Redemption Awards earned in that Account will be forfeited upon discovery with retrospective effect. iii. If a Member cancels his/her Account in the Loyalty Program, the Member may reapply for membership in the Loyalty Program at a later date, but no Points or Redemption Awards previously forfeited or expired will be reinstated to the Membership Account. iv. Any Membership Status is terminated upon cancellation of a Membership Account.</p> <p>1.8.3 Modification of the Loyalty Program. Except as otherwise expressly prohibited or limited by applicable laws, as stipulated in section 6, the Company has the right to change, limit, modify or cancel the Awards and Award levels at any time, even though such changes may affect the value of Points, or the ability to obtain certain Awards, provided this does not discriminate against the Member unreasonably or in bad faith. With effect for the future, the Company may, among other things, (i) increase or decrease the number of Points received for a stay or required for an Award; (ii) withdraw, limit, modify or cancel any Award; (iii) add blackout dates, limit rooms available for any Award at any Participating Hotel or otherwise restrict the continued availability of Awards; and (iv) change program benefits, partners of the Loyalty Program, locations served by the Company or its travel partners, conditions of participation, rules for earning, redeeming, retaining or forfeiting Points, or rules governing the use of Awards, Members may not rely upon the continued availability of any Award or Award level and category. Changes or additions to the Awards and Awards levels will be published on the Website.</p> <p>1.8.4 Benefits Subject to Availability and Modification. All Loyalty Program benefits, amenities, offers, awards and services are subject to availability and may be changed at any time without notice except as otherwise expressly provided therein (e.g. under section 6).</p> <p>1.8.5 Eligibility to Receive Benefits. Each Member is responsible for verifying that he or she complies with the applicable laws and any guidelines relevant to the member for the acceptance of benefits and allowances to receive such benefits, amenities, offers, Awards or services under the Loyalty Program (including but not limited to Points and Redemption Awards). The Company will not verify this.</p> <p>1.8.6 No Sale or Transfer. Points, Redemption Awards and other Member benefits may not be sold, bartered, exchanged, leased, lent or offered for auction or otherwise transferred (other than by the Company or its agents). Any attempted transfer, sale, barter, exchange, lease or auction will be void and the respective Points, Redemption Awards and Member benefits will be confiscated. The Company and its cooperation partners with respect to the Loyalty Program may refuse to honor or recognize any Points, Redemption Awards or Member benefits which the Company has reason to believe may have been transferred, sold or bartered.</p> <p>1.8.7 Redemption Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Redemption Awards may only be given away to third persons for their own use if the Member personally has a personal relationship with them, e. g. family members, friends and acquaintances, but cannot be exchanged for other Awards or cash.</p> <h3 id="2-earn-points">2 EARN POINTS</h3> <p><strong>2.1 Earning Opportunities at Participating Hotels</strong> 2.1.1 Each Member receives at least eight (8) Points for each euro (or the local currency equivalent converted into euros according to regularly updated currency conversion rates) the Member spends in accordance with section 2.1.2 on Qualifying Charges (“Base Reward Points”). Higher Tier Members receive Points in accordance with section 4.</p> <p>2.1.2 “Qualifying Charges” are charges incurred during a stay in a guest room at a Participating Hotel by a Member on his/her folio and up to two (2) additional guest rooms, including, without limitation, charges for: i. Qualifying Rates for Status Nights and ii. food and beverages (excluding alcoholic beverages where prohibited by law) and may exclude charges incurred at outlets that are not managed or operated by the Participating Hotel; if the charges are incurred at the restaurants and bars of Participating Hotels independent of a stay at the respective Participating Hotel, the Qualifying Charges are limited to 1,000 euros per Member for each restaurant or bar check; in such cases Points will only be credited to the Member’s Account if the Member provides his/her Membership Number at the time of payment. One (1) euro in Qualifying Charges corresponds to one status point (“Status Point”).</p> <p>2.1.3 Non-Qualifying Charges. Charges which do not qualify for Points, include any complimentary services, Points redemption Awards or any other fees or charges including, without limitation: (A) charges for banquets, meetings or other functions; (B) other fees paid including, without limitation, parking, business center, retail stores, and other third-party services; and (C) room rate related taxes and service charges (unless such taxes and service charges are included in the room rate), gratuities, fees (e.g. late cancellation fee or no-show fees), mandatory charges (e.g., resort charges) and other applicable charges. (D) discounted fees/prices (e.g. in the case of discounts for crews and personnel, etc.), except for discounts granted to Loyalty Program Members (e.g. discounted prices for food and beverages for Hither Tier Members).</p> <p>2.1.4 Qualifying Night / Status Night. A “Qualifying Night” (also referred to as “Status Night”) means a night a Member registers for, and personally pays and stays at any Participating Hotel, for which (i) the room is billed to the Member, or (ii) the guest room is directly billed to a third party who has given an undertaking to pay the costs for the Member’s stay, unless the Member’s stay is associated with a convention or group meeting. In other words, the following criteria must be met in order for a night to qualify as “Status Night”: i. It must be a night a Member stays at a Participating Hotel and for which the Member (A) provides his/her Membership Number at the time of reservation or at check-in; (B) pays a Qualifying Rate or redeems a Points redemption Award for the stay; and (C) stays in one of the reserved guest rooms. A Member may only earn Points for up to three (3) guest rooms during any Status Night if he/she stays in one of the reserved guest rooms and pays a Qualifying Rate or redeems a Points Redemption Award or a promotional Award for all of the guest rooms. ii. Members cannot earn or receive benefits at multiple Participating Hotels for the same stay date(s). iii. Only one Member per guest room can earn Points and receive benefits. If there is more than one Member staying in the same guest room, the Members must decide upon check-in which Member will be credited the Points and receive the benefits for the charges of the room, and this must be the Member who will be paying the bill.</p> <p>2.1.5 Qualifying Rates. A “Qualifying Rate” is the rate a Member pays for a stay in a guest room at a Participating Hotel, which qualifies to earn Points. Qualifying Rates include all rates that are not listed below or in the description of rates as non-qualifying rates. Unless otherwise specifically stated, Members will receive their membership tier benefits during stays on Qualifying Rates. Rates booked using the following methods are not counted as Qualifying Rates: i. The guest room was booked through a tour agency, online travel platform or other third-party channel including, without limitation, booking.com, expedia.com, hrs.de, hotel.de, ctrip.com, fliggy.com, qunar.com, hotwire.com, priceline.com, orbitz.com, travelocity.com; however, specially agreed corporate rates booked through such channels shall be deemed a Qualifying Rate; ii. The guest room was booked at a group rate as part of an event, meeting, conference or organized tour, or iii. The guest room was booked at an employee rate, special rates offered to employees of the travel industry (e.g. tour operators, wholesalers, travel agents, shipping companies, airlines), or a crew room rate or package; or iv. The guest room was complimentary for the guest; or v. A voucher from a third-party provider was redeemed for the guest room, or vi. The guest room was booked at special rates for partner businesses, e.g. through the portals corporate-benefits.de or mitarbeitervorteile.de.</p> <p>2.1.6. If a hotel or other property ceases to be a Participating Hotel, all stays subsequent to such date will not be eligible to earn Points regardless of when the reservation was made.</p> <p><strong>2.2 Individual Earning for Qualifying Charges and Status Nights</strong> No person other than the Member may earn Points on Qualifying Charges for his/her Membership Account. Points for a room shared by two or more Loyalty Program Members will only be awarded to one Loyalty Program Member.</p> <p><strong>2.3 Foreign Exchange</strong> The number of Points earned at Participating Hotels where a currency other than euros is used will be calculated based on Qualifying Charges converted to euros at the exchange rate used by the Company on the date of data processing.</p> <h3 id="3-redeem-points">3 REDEEM POINTS</h3> <p><strong>3.1 Redeeming Points for Awards.</strong> A Member may redeem the Points he or she earned to obtain certain awards (“Redemption Award”) including, without limitation, rooms at Participating Hotels, and other services and merchandise. A full listing of the Redemption Awards currently offered and further options for redeeming Points is available on the H Rewards App and in the Members are of the Loyalty Program Website.</p> <p>3.1.1 Points and Awards cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash or credits.</p> <p>3.1.2 Redemption Awards are valid only for individual travel and are not valid for group travel, package tours, conventions or other special rates and/or package programs, food and beverage credits, incidental expenses, or service charges.</p> <p>3.1.3 “Upgrade” and “Suite Upgrade” Awards can only be redeemed in connection with a normal reservation made through the H Rewards Channels.</p> <p><strong>3.2 Rooms at Participating Hotels.</strong> Unless otherwise stipulated in the individual case in question, a Member may redeem Points for vouchers for nights at a single or double standard room at Participating Hotels (“Award Redemption Night”). Redeeming vouchers for Award Redemption Nights is subject to availability of eligible rooms at the time of reservation. Advance reservations are required and must be booked through the H Rewards Channels. When making the reservation, the Member must indicate that the booking is for an “Award Redemption Night” and must specify the voucher number. Vouchers for Award Redemption Nights cannot be used for existing reservations.</p> <p>3.2.1 The standard guarantee and cancellation policies of a Participating Hotel will apply to Award Redemption Night reservations including, without limitation, all minimum length of stay requirements, credit card guarantee requirements and charges for late cancellation, no-shows, and early check-out. i. A Point refund may be issued for a stay that is less than the number of days on the Redemption Award, provided that the Member informs the Participating Hotel’s front desk at least 24 hours in advance of the early check-out time. ii. If a Member fails to cancel a guaranteed Award Redemption Night reservation within the permitted cancellation period, the respective voucher for the Award Redemption Night is rendered invalid and ten (10) percent of the Points that were redeemed against such voucher will be re-deposited into the Member’s Account.</p> <p>3.2.2 The number of Points required for a voucher for one Award Redemption Night varies depending on the category of the Participating Hotel and the room types available at the Participating Hotel, length of stay, and may also vary by time of year. A list of Participating Hotel categories is available on the Loyalty Program Website. The Company may change a Participating Hotel’s category in the Loyalty Program at any time.</p> <p>3.2.3 When redeeming Points for a voucher for an Award Redemption Night, the Award Redemption Night includes the cost of a single or double standard room at a Participating Hotel and room tax/service charges, if any. All other charges, including incidentals, municipal levies, and taxes (e.g. culture tax, city tax, etc.) are payable by the Member separately and are not included in the Award Redemption Night. i. The size, location and amenities of standard rooms vary between Participating Hotels and Participating Brands. Upgraded rooms, including upgrades based on size, view, services, and/or suites, may be available at a higher Points cost. ii. Preferences regarding the type of room (e.g. bedding and smoking preferences) may be requested with an Award Redemption Night, but are not guaranteed. iii.

If this is the reason why a Member does not use his or her Award Redemption Night, he or she can return the Award.

If a Member fails to cancel a guaranteed Award Redemption Night reservation within the permitted cancellation period, the respective voucher for the Award Redemption Night is rendered invalid and ten (10) percent of the Points that were redeemed against such voucher will be re-deposited into the Member’s Account.</p> <p>3.2.2 The amount of Points required per night to obtain rooms at Participating Hotels varies by the category of the Participating Hotel and the room types available at the Participating Hotel, length of stay, and may also vary by time of year.

When doing so, the Member agrees to make legitimate Point redemption reservations in good faith for use by the Member and his or her invited guests only, and not for any other purposes, including without limitation, reselling, impermissibly assigning or posting on third party websites, or making speculative, false or fraudulent reservations, or any reservation in anticipation of demand. The Company reserves the right to cancel any reservations it believes to be in violation of the Program Terms.</p> <p>3.2.6 If a Participating Hotel exits the Loyalty Program for any reason after a Member makes an Award Redemption Night reservation but before the Member’s stay, the Company will use reasonable efforts to have such former Participating Hotel honour the reservation or assist in arranging equivalent accommodations nearby; however, the Company cannot guarantee that any Awards, upgrades or any other benefits a Member may earn under the Loyalty Program will be honoured. If under these circumstances a Member is unable to make use of his/her Award Redemption Night, the Member can return the voucher to the H Rewards Service Center and the Points redeemed will be redeposited into the respective Member’s Account.</p> <h3 id="4-higher-tier-membership">4 HIGHER TIER MEMBERSHIP</h3> <p><strong>4.1 Membership Upgrading and Maintenance Requirements</strong></p> <p>4.1.1 <em>Upgrading Membership</em>.
