AMBER STAR Selection is an independent hospitality accreditation programme administered by Amberdwell.
Accreditation constitutes Amberdwell's independent professional assessment and recognition of a Property based on the Amberdwell Index methodology and the information available at the time of evaluation.
3.2 Nature of the Assessment
The Accreditation represents an independent opinion regarding the overall hospitality performance, guest experience and operational consistency of a Property and does not constitute a statement of fact, guarantee or warranty.
Accreditation is granted solely at the professional discretion of Amberdwell.

The Accreditation does not constitute and shall not be represented as:

3.5 Point-in-Time Assessment

3.6 No Reliance
Any guest, customer, investor, business partner or third party relying on the Accreditation does so at their own discretion and risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Amberdwell accepts no responsibility for decisions, actions or losses arising from reliance upon the Accreditation, Evaluation or any related publication.
3.7 Independence and Professional Judgement
Amberdwell retains sole discretion regarding:
a) evaluation methodologies and criteria;
