Reminder on data handling
Posted by Axel Girgensohn on 14 January 2013 10:49 AM

Dear Partner,

we would like to remind you on some topics. You may ignore this mail if your code is handling the data as supposed to or you simple do not use the information.

  • Security package / Cancelation insurance
  • Rental Terms
  • Modification and updating of data

Security package / Cancelation insurance

We offer a special security package to our customers which is a cancelation assurance. This service is free of charge. It is important when you present this information to customers that you do not use the term "insurance" but assurance. This is due to legal reasons as the offer is not an insurance product.

Rental Terms

We would like to remind you to present the 2013 rental terms to your customers on each booking. The content has changed from the 2012 documents and we need to make sure that customers sign off the latest version of our rental terms on a booking.

The latest version is available under this URL: http://www.novasol.com/site/terms/nov/2013/terms-[top level domain of salesmarket].pdf

Modification and updating of data

Last but not least we would like to remind you not to modify data or use data with our updating. Please update the product data frequently to avoid customer claims as well as other claims from third parties. With the new API you have the possibility to run updates on a daily basis checking for the last changes of our data.

Thank you for your help.

 

Kind regards

Yours

old XML expiry and new API
Posted by Axel Girgensohn on 21 February 2012 06:21 AM
Dear Partner
we would like to remind you that our old XML solution (XML1 and XML2) will expire by the end of 2012. We will keep the solution running until than but no development will take place.

Our new API is in use by several partners already and is working fine. Below is a list of advantages using the new API:

- The security has changed and besides having all IP-addresses registered in our backend, you will now also need an API key to access our server.
- All parameters are now code based and can be translated using a translation file.
- The data download (now called batch file) is always up-to-date and contains the latest changes made in our backend.
- Our new batch file contains all the data for the properties and can be ordered when ever you like.
- The request of the batch file can be customized by you for example to limit to a country or to a category or even to only check for the last updated data.
- Checking the availability of a house returns now all required information which is needed to move on to the booking.
- We cleaned up the special offers like short breaks or book 14 days and pay for 10 by sending a parameter on the house information and each parameter stands for one rule.
- The booking part allows you now to retrieve the booking details after the customer has booked
- You can download a list of all your bookings.
- It is now possible to cancel bookings.
- Credit Card payment is now possible using a payment window from our transaction provider.

All you need is the key which has been provided to you earlier, if not do not hasitate to contact us.

Yours,
NOVASOL Support Team
