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.

4.2 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.

4.3 The duration of the Contract on the use of the accommodation and services is limited.

  • Prolongation of the use of the accommodation and services upon the Guest’s request requires the prior written consent of the Service Provider. In this case Service Provider may request the payment for services already performed.

4.4 In order to supplement or modify the Contract Parties must sign a written agreement.

 

5. Terms of cancellation

 

5.1 Unless set out otherwise by the Service Provider in its offer, the accommodation and services may be cancelled without penalty until 18.00 on the day preceding arrival.
