II. Scope of Our Services

DAVINCI TS provides the online Platform through which it offers mediation of Providers‘ Accommodation Services to Clients. By making a reservation via DAVINCITS.COM you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the Provider where you make a reservation or order a product or service (as appropriate). From the very first moment you make your reservation, DAVINCI TS has a status of an intermediary between you as the Client and the Provider. DAVINCI TS transfers information about your reservation to the Provider and sends you an email on behalf of the Provider confirming the reservations.
When providing Services on our Platform or otherwise we publish information that is based on information provided by Providers on their websites. Before confirming a reservation, you should get acquainted with the quality of the accommodation facility, type of rooms, location of the facility, relevant reviews and its opening hours. DAVINCI TS acts solely as an intermediary between you and the Provider and is not responsible for the accommodation type you have chosen or for the quality of services associated with the accommodation. We do not verify this information, as well as we are not responsible for trustworthiness and credibility of Providers, and we are not obliged to provide you with any information necessary to assess their trustworthiness and credibility.
It is the Provider who always bears full responsibility for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of (descriptive and pictorial) information displayed on the Provider's website or provided to us by any means.
We provide the Services exclusively for commercial purposes. Therefore, you as our Client, may not disclose the offered prices of Accommodation Services to your End-Customers, or use, copy, monitor (such as through spiders or scraping techniques), display, download and reproduce the content, information, software, reservations, products and services available on our Platform for any commercial or competitive purposes.

III. Prices and Surcharges

The prices for Accommodation Services which we offer to mediate on our Platform are wholesale and very favourable. All room rates (per room and per the whole stay) include breakfast, VAT, turnover tax and Administrative Fees, unless otherwise stated on our Platform or in the email confirming the reservation made by the Client. Prices are valid only for the requested number of rooms. If the original number of offered rooms is decreased by the Client, the Provider reserves the right to change the price of Accommodation Service. The breakfast type is indicated in the reservation details. If breakfast is not included in the price, you will be informed in advance and in time during the booking process.
By reservation of any Accommodation service through the Platform or otherwise through us, you undertake to pay us an Administrative Fee. The total cost of the Accommodation Services offered to the Client through the Platform already includes the Administrative Fee. The entitlement to the Administrative Fee arises from making a reservation and it remains valid regardless of whether the Accommodation Service will actually be provided, and regardless of its quality.
Some accommodation facilities offer free accommodation for each 21^st/25^st/30^th/35^th person. If such benefit is offered, you will be informed accordingly during the booking process and the discount will be deducted from the total price of your reservation. Any potential additional surcharges, e.g. for extension of the stay, use of the buspark and other, will be charged separately according to the current price list of the relevant accommodation facility.
The accommodation price may be without the tourist/city tax, therefore this may be charged separately by the Provider during your stay. If the tourist/city tax is not included in the price, you will see this information on our Platform under the order summary, including the current amount. The tourist/city taxes, which are not included in the price, must be paid by the Client individually and separately in the accommodation facility. If not paid, the amount is charged back and added to the price of the Accommodation Services provided to the Client concerned.
We want to ensure that our customers receive the best offer possible. If, after making a reservation through our Platform, you find on the Internet the same type of accommodation with the same booking conditions at a lower price, the difference between our price and this lower price can be reduced for you.
Rates on the platform can be specified in different currencies and conversion of currencies to EUROS is for informational purposes only and should not be considered accurate and up- to- date; the accurate and current amounts at the time of booking may be different.
Obvious mistakes and inaccuracies (including typing errors) are not binding. All the special offers are marked accordingly.
When paying the entire reservation price or surcharge directly at the accommodation facility, you are obliged to pay any difference in the price, which may be increased by VAT, turnover tax or Administrative Fee of DAVINCI TS.

IV. Booking of Accommodation, Reservation Changes, Rooming List

On DAVINCI TS Platform, you may book selected accommodation without any obligation (optional reservation), if the accommodation facility offers such service. Optional reservations have a date until when such reservation is valid. If the reservation is not confirmed in time, the reservation is considered invalid.
Fixed reservation is a reservation already confirmed, which is then subject to cancellation terms and conditions of the Provider.
The Client is entitled to make changes to the reservation made, to change the number of rooms and to reserve extra optional rooms. The making of changes is subject to subsequent confirmation of the proposed changes by the Provider. Changes to reservations not confirmed by the Provider will be invalid.
The Provider is responsible for all confirmed reservations, and by confirming a new structure, the Provider is obliged to provide accommodation in accordance with the confirmed structure of rooms proposed by the Client.
The Client shall provide DAVINCI TS with a Rooming List with respect to each reservation made by the Client. The Rooming List is divided into the first proposed version (ten (10) days before the accommodation start date) and the final version (three (3) days before the accommodation start date). The Rooming List shows the structure of rooms and End-Customer information. Based on the last confirmed Rooming List, an invoice is issued.
If several versions of the Rooming List have been uploaded by the Client, the last Rooming List confirmed by the Provider is deemed to be current. The Provider is not responsible for any changes to the Rooming List made less than three (3) days before the accommodation start date.

V. Payment, Cancellation of Reservation, Non-Accommodation and Important Information

The Price for all Accommodation Services reserved through the Platform, including Administrative Fee, shall be paid by the Client before the accommodation start date to DAVINCI TS within the due date, and according to the relevant invoice. The payment is deemed to have been settled upon crediting the amount concerned to the bank account of DAVINCI TS no later than on the day of the accommodation start date. If the accommodation facility requires an earlier payment or an advance payment, the Client shall make such payment as described above. DAVINCI TS is only an intermediary of payments for Accommodation Services. We always re-invoice you an accommodation price, an advance price for accommodation or other payments related to reserved Accommodation Services based on an invoice received from the Provider. We add Administrative Fee to a re-invoiced amount.
If the Client fails to comply with the given payment terms, the Provider has the right to cancel the reservation. The costs associated with finding a substitute accommodation or costs incurred so far shall be borne by the Client. The cancellation of the reservation by the Provider or by the Client does not affect our right to charge the Administrative Fee.
If the End-Customer starts accommodation which was not paid by the Client before the accommodation start date, the Client is obliged to pay the total price for Accommodation Services, including an Administrative Fee. This liability is considered as the Client’s debt, which must be paid in short order.
If the Client fails to pay in time any amount invoiced by DAVINCI TS, the Client shall be obliged to pay to DAVINCI TS (in addition to the owed principal amount and other amounts to which DAVINCI TS may be entitled) a contractual penalty amounting to 1% of the unpaid amount per each day of the Client’s delay with payment of the respective amount. The contractual penalty shall be invoiced by DAVINCI TS typically for a period of each week, shall be due for payment within 14 days after invoice date and shall be paid by the Client to the bank account of DAVINCI TS maintained by Volksbank AG (EURO IBAN: CZ13 0300 0000 0002 7596 3690 ; BIC/SWIFT: CEKOCZPP ; Bank: Ceskoslovenska obchodni banka, a. s. ).
By making a reservation at the Provider, you agree with the terms and conditions applicable to cancellation of reservation and to failure to start accommodation, as well as with any other (e.g. delivery) terms and conditions of the Provider which may apply to your reservation and stay of your End-Customers. The general terms and conditions applicable to cancellation of reservation and non-accommodation are listed on the specific Provider's website or on the Platform under booking conditions.
In the event of cancellation of the whole reservation, a part of the reservation or non-accommodation, the Provider may charge the Client with relevant cancellation fees according to the cancellation terms and conditions which the Client undertakes to pay. Therefore, before making a reservation, you are obliged to read carefully the information about your chosen accommodation whose Provider may also refer to its specific terms and conditions.
In case of a late arrival (e.g. after 10 p.m. or the following day) to the Provider’s facility, be sure to inform the Provider immediately in order to ensure that the accommodation facility’s personnel is aware of your expected arrival, and to prevent the situation that your reservation is cancelled or you are charged for failure to start the accommodation in the given accommodation facility. If needed, our Customer Service may help you to contact the Provider. DAVINCI TS is not responsible for any consequences of your late arrival at the accommodation, not for cancellation of the reservation and for fees for failure to start the accommodation charged by the Provider.
If an End-Customer damages any accommodation equipment during his/her stay or uses charged services (including a minibar) during his/her stay, the Client undertakes to pay relevant due amount to the Provider. In the event of a change in the room structure, the outstanding amount shall be paid by the Client. The Client shall pay the resulting outstanding amount either directly in the accommodation facility or to DAVINCI TS based on an invoice issued.
If the Provider fails to allow accommodation of the End-Customers while the payment conditions are fulfilled, fails to allow accommodation of the End-Customers in accordance with the structure previously confirmed, or otherwise wrongfully cancels a confirmed reservation made by the Client (e.g. because of overbooking or the Provider’s mistake), DAVINCI TS undertakes to make all reasonable efforts to secure a nearby replacement accommodation of the same or higher category for the Client. If the Client accepts the replacement accommodation facility offered by DAVINCI TS, DAVINCI TS undertakes to cover the difference between (i) the cost of accommodation in the replacement accommodation facility and (ii) the cost of accommodation in the accommodation facility of the Provider. DAVINCI TS shall not be liable for any other damage or extra costs incurred by the Client, the End-Customers or any other third party.
Once the Client receives, finds or otherwise becomes familiar with any Provider’s offer of Accommodation Services via the Platform, the Client must refrain from booking (or purchasing) of the same or substantially similar Accommodation Services from such Provider for the same or substantially similar travel group and the same or substantially similar term of stay otherwise than via the Platform in accordance with these Terms. If the Client breaches its obligation stipulated in the previous sentence, the Client shall be obliged to pay to DAVINCI TS a contractual penalty in the amount of EUR 500 per each breach. The contractual penalty shall be invoiced by DAVINCI TS to the Client, shall be due for payment within 14 days after invoice date and shall be paid by the Client to the bank account of DAVINCI TS maintained by Volksbank AG (EURO IBAN: CZ13 0300 0000 0002 7596 3690 ; BIC/SWIFT: CEKOCZPP ; Bank: Ceskoslovenska obchodni banka, a. s.). In case of a repeated breach of the obligation stipulated in the first sentence by a Client, DAVINCI TS reserves the right to deny such Client the access to the Platform for any period of time as DAVINCI TS sees fit.
We shall be released from the obligation to pay any damages in case of vis major, i.e. in case that we are temporarily or permanently prevented from fulfilling our obligations hereunder by an unforeseeable and insurmountable obstacle arising independently of our will, such as war conflicts, riots, strikes, natural disasters, epidemic, pandemic and other unpreventable occurrences.

VI. Correspondence and Communication

DAVINCI TS is not responsible for communication between the Client and the Provider outside our Platform and for any circumstances or consequences arising from this communication. DAVINCI TS cannot guarantee that any request or communication will be delivered/read, fulfilled, executed or accepted by the Provider in due time and in a timely manner.
In order to properly complete your reservation, it is necessary to communicate solely through the Platform or through our Customer Service.
The Client agrees that any and all information about booked Accommodation Services (including, in particular, contact details of the travel group, arrival date, number of nights, type and size of the travel group, meal requests, amenities and services, special requests and wishes of the travel group and the total travel budget) shall be forwarded exclusively via the Platform. Direct contact between the Client and the Provider after confirmation of the reservation is not allowed.

VII. Support Line and Crisis Solving

To resolve issues related to the Accommodation Service reserved through the Platform, the Client can use our NonStop business support line. It has been designed to deal with crisis situations related to accommodation. Vouchers provided include relevant contacts to the Customer Service support line. DAVINCI TS shall make every effort to resolve crisis situations promptly and in the best manner possible. Through the Customer Service (Lines of Support) DAVINCI TS only mediates communication and requirements between the Client and Providers, and the Company is not responsible for their resolution or answering their queries.
Any claims or complaints relating to accommodation offered must be made to the Provider during the stay or on the departure date at the latest. A complaint submitted after expiration of such time limit may be rejected and the claimant thus loses its entitlement to compensation (for damage or financial expenses). We strongly recommend taking photos during your stay, which (if needed) will be used in your favor.
DAVINCI TS is constantly connecting new Providers to the Platform. In order to avoid any mistakes in rates, currencies or availability, we reserve the right to re-confirm and regulate any offer of the Providers within the first 24 hours after the Client selects it for optional reservation or fixed (confirmed) reservation.

VIII. Statement of Disclaimer

The responsibility for making a reservation lies on the Client, or any persons who made the reservation on behalf of the Client, or persons who have been entrusted to access the Platform by the Client.
In accordance with the exclusion of liability set out in other specific parts of these Terms, subject to limitations set forth in these Terms and to the extent permitted by law, we are liable only for direct damages actually suffered, paid or incurred in connection with provable breach of our obligations within providing our Services, up to the amount of an Administrative Fee you paid us in connection with the relevant Services.

The Client acknowledges that the choice of a particular Provider is the responsibility of the Client.
