Hi,
It's about terms and condition for a hotel booking.
It's "Stay X pay for Y" type of special promotion.

It says:
"Any cancellation/no-show will be subject to first night charge."
further,
"Rates are subject to change without prior notice."

What is the legal meaning for this?
Say a night at time of booking cost $100. Are they in principle legally allowed to raise the price to $500, and then force me to pay for the first night if I cancel do to change in price?

Thanks
 
No.

What that means is that if you don't show, you'll pay $100 for the first night.

The rates can change, but it's locked in when you book. The part that says they can change is so that if you see it's $100, and you don't book, it might be $120 tomorrow.
