2.1 These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter: GTC) regulate the use of accommodation and services offered by Buda Castle Hotel.
2.2 The hereby presented GTC do not include special, individual conditions, however, they do not exclude separate agreements eventually concluded on different, business-appropriate terms with travel agencies and travel organizers.
2.3 If the terms and conditions of individual, written agreements stipulate otherwise, then these GTC, the terms and conditions of the individual, written contract shall prevail. These GTC are applicable in the absence of any different written agreement.
3.1 Services of the Service Provider are used by the Guest.
3.2 If the order for services is submitted to the Service Provider by the Guest directly, the Guest qualifies as Contracting Party. Service Provider and Guest – where requirements are met – become jointly Contracting Parties (hereinafter Parties).
3.3 If the order for services is submitted to the Service Provider by a third party commissioned by the Guest (hereinafter Mediator), the terms and conditions of cooperation are regulated by the contract between the Service Provider and the Mediator. In this case the Service Provider is not obliged to establish whether the third party represents the Guest lawfully. In case of doubt and upon the Service Provider’s request the Mediator shall certify its representation right. Without due entitlement the Mediator himself is liable for commitments taken on behalf of the Guest and for any damages caused by the missing entitlement.
3.4 With respect to the health security risks of the activity the Service Provider is only able to guarantee the services if the Guest provides his name and address before using the services.
4.1 Service Provider sends its offer upon the Guest’s oral or written request. The offer is binding on the Service Provider within 72 hours of sending.
4.2 The contract is concluded between the Parties in writing and enters into force upon the Service Provider’s written confirmation sent to the Guest’s written reservation or, in the case of oral reservation, upon the Guest’s written acceptance or signature of the hotel’s written confirmation. Thus, the Contract qualifies as a written agreement. An oral reservation on its own, oral agreements, modifications and the Service Provider’s oral confirmations thereto do not generate a contract or a modification thereof. Statements made via email, SMS, online chat services or fax are deemed written statements.

6.3 Upon announcement of the prices Service Provider indicates the amount of the tax component (value-added tax, tax on tourism) required by law effective at the time of offer.

In such cases Service Provider is not bound to render accommodation and services for the prices erroneously displayed. In case of erroneously displayed prices the Service Provider offers the possibility to purchase accommodation and services at the real price and in the light of the information Contracting Party may decide upon buying at the real price.

This liability remains in effect even if the aggrieved has the right to claim compensation for his/her damages directly from the Service Provider. The Guest is obliged to reimburse the Service Provider for the compensation paid by the Service Provider on behalf of the Guest.
In the event that the Guest fails to meet his/her payment obligation deriving from the used services, or contractually ordered but not used services carrying a penalty, the Service Provider – to ensure the claim is met – has a right of pledge on the personal belongings the Guest has brought to the hotel. As long as the Service Provider’s right of pledge is valid the Service Provider may prevent the pledged property to be taken away.
The Service Provider is obliged:
18.1 The Service Provider shall be liable for all damages suffered by the Guest within its establishments and caused by the Service Provider or its employees.
18.2.1 The Service Provider shall also be liable for damages suffered by the Guest as a result of the damage to his/her possessions if these possessions were put in places that are designated by the Service Provider or usually used for this purpose or in the Guest’s room or that were handed over to an employee of the Service Provider whom the Guest believed to be authorized to take over these possessions.

By participating in the hotel’s programs and events the Guest consents to the hotel sharing these recordings on online and social media platforms as part of its marketing activities. In relation to such use of the recording the Guest has no right to any claims neither against the hotel, nor against the organizers, the preparers of the recording or against parties using the recording on any other valid legal basis.

Force majeure excuses the indisposed party from performing the obligations set in the Contract until the reason or circumstance causing the incapability to exist. Parties agree to do everything in their power to limit the possibility of these reasons or circumstances to occur to the minimum and to remedy the damage or delay caused by them as soon as possible. Parties set forth that changes of the Guest’s health caused by any reason (e.g. accident, illness) and family or social events within the Guest’s interest are not deemed force majeure.
To the legal relationship between the Service Provider and the Contracting Party provisions of the Hungarian Civil Code shall apply. In any legal dispute arising from the service contract, the court having jurisdiction at the place of service is the competent court.
