3.1 Restaurant booking requests (pay per request)
Customers can submit a table request on the Website for any restaurant that takes reservations. Assistom contacts the restaurant through the channel it accepts (booking platform, website or phone) and, once the booking is confirmed, the customer receives the confirmation details.
A booking request fee of $3 is paid at checkout for each request. It pays for handling the request: checking availability with the restaurant and attempting the booking. The fee is due whether or not a table can be confirmed, and this is stated at checkout before payment. It does not include the price of the meal or any deposit requested by the restaurant, which are paid to the restaurant directly. No plan or commitment is required.
At checkout, the customer can instead start the Personal Assistant Plan (section 3.2). The booking request fee is then not charged for that request, and only the trial price of the plan is charged.
3.2 Personal Assistant Plan
The Personal Assistant Plan is an optional monthly plan. It removes the booking request fee on every request and gives priority assistance for restaurant bookings and any other everyday request (transport, leisure activities, travel and similar services). The Assistom team handles, follows up and keeps the customer informed on each request.
The plan starts with a 3-day trial charged at $1. At the end of the trial, it renews automatically at $69.99 per month unless cancelled before the end of the trial. Cancelling during the trial means no further charge.
Assistom may refuse any request that is clearly unlawful, unsafe, disproportionate or outside the normal scope of the service.
3.3 Magazine
The Assistom Magazine is an optional digital publication, delivered weekly. It includes selections, recommendations, practical information and themed content. It is available at a maximum of $7.60 per month. Billing begins seven (7) days after sign-up, and the Magazine then renews automatically until the customer cancels it. The frequency of payments may vary, in accordance with the payment schedule agreed upon at sign-up. Cancelling within these first seven (7) days means nothing is charged.
The Magazine is separate from the Personal Assistant Plan. It can be taken on its own or alongside the plan, and cancelling one does not cancel the other.
