Legal claims and class actions about parity clauses You may have heard about legal claims concerning Booking.com’s past use of ‘price parity clauses’ in Europe, as well as certain formal claims made by hotel and consumer associations. In short, we believe the claims about Booking.com’s past use of parity clauses are incorrect and unjustified. The claims overlook the legal context in which parity clauses are used, the highly competitive environment in which Booking.com has always operated and the significant value the platform has continuously delivered for both accommodation partners and travellers.
