Abstract

The use of parity clauses, both broad and restricted, has become established in practice in inter-company contracts between accommodation providers (mainly hotels) and digital platforms on which their services are offered and promoted (such as Booking).

This paper aims to analyse the current state of affairs in the regulation and control of these parity clauses, with particular attention to the CJEU's judgment of 19 September 2024.
