From the very first moment the Client makes a reservation, DAVINCI TS has a status of an intermediary between such Client and the respective Provider. DAVINCI TS transfers information about reservations made by the Clients to the Providers and sends to the Clients emails on behalf of the Providers confirming the reservations.
• The Provider agrees that we may publish on our Platform or otherwise information that is based on information provided by Providers on their websites for the purposes of providing Services. The Provider bears at all times full responsibility for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of descriptive, pictorial and other information displayed on the Provider's website or provided to us by any means.

Therefore, the Provider may not disclose the offered prices of Accommodation Services to the 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. Main Obligations of the Parties

  • collect the amounts due from the Clients on behalf of the Provider and to pay the amounts due to the Provider in accordance with these Terms.
• The Provider undertakes to:
  • provide End-Customers with the room type, board basis and all other inclusions as described in the confirmed reservation;
  • promptly and efficiently respond to any substantial queries from DAVINCI TS in order to maximize potential bookings;
  • promptly and efficiently deal with any substantial complaints or enquiries it receives from the End-Customer and/or the Client whilst the End-Customer is at the accommodation facility or after the departure of the End-Customer, including those received by DAVINCI TS. Failure to comply with this clause may result in DAVINCI TS withholding payment or part-payment of affected bookings in order to provide compensation to the End-Customer and/or the Client;
  • comply with all applicable laws, regulations, rules and codes of conduct, including (but not limited to) laws on health and safety, laws on protection of personal data and on fair trading regulations;
  • hold DAVINCI TS harmless and keep DAVINCI TS indemnified against (i) any liability arising from the failure of the Provider to comply with the provisions of the agreement concluded between the Provider and DAVINCI TS, (ii) any liability arising from the Provider’s failure to perform or properly perform its contract with the Client, and (iii) any liability arising from the failure of the Provider to comply with any applicable laws, regulations, rules and codes of conduct;
  • to have liability insurance policy with sufficient limits in place at all times and to maintain the validity of such liability insurance policy for the whole duration of the contractual arrangement between the Provider and DAVINCI TS; and
  • to refrain from directly offering to the same Client identical rates and policies that have already been offered to such Client via the Platform as long as the offer is still valid on the Platform; if the Provider breaches this obligation, DAVINCI TS shall become entitled to the payment of a contractual penalty amounting to 500 Euro by the Provider per each breach.

IV. Price of Accommodation Services, Payment and Taxes

• The prices of Accommodation Services which we offer to mediate on our Platform are wholesale and very favorable. The Provider agrees that the rates for the offers that it makes available to DAVINCI TS are Net Rates, i.e. all room rates (per room and per the whole stay) include breakfast, VAT, turnover tax and Administrative Fees, unless explicitly stated otherwise on our Platform or in the email confirming the reservation made by the Client. Prices are valid for orders of nine (9) or more rooms. If the number of rooms reserved is changed to less than nine (9) rooms, the Provider is entitled to change the price of Accommodation Services. The breakfast type shall be indicated in the reservation details. The Client must be informed in advance and in time during the booking process if breakfast is not included in the price of Accommodation Services.
• The Provider acknowledges and agrees that all payments for the Accommodation Services will be collected by DAVINCI TS from the Client and will be paid out to the Provider according to the agreement concluded between DAVINCI TS and the Provider, these Terms and applicable payment and cancellation policies.
• DAVINCI TS is entitled to deduct the Administrative Fee from payments for the Accommodation Services received by DAVINCI TS from the Client and keep such Administrative Fee.
• DAVINCI TS will pay the amounts collected from the Client as payments for the Accommodation Services (after deduction of the Administrative Fee) to the Provider after the final Rooming List is confirmed between the Client and the Provider. The final Rooming List will be uploaded and confirmed in the Platform.
• Payments from DAVINCI TS to the Provider may be completed by DAVINCI TS via the following payment methods: bank transfer, online credit card payment, or cash.
• In no circumstances shall the Provider charge the Client or the End-Customers for any booking or arrangements booked through the Platform as these sums are collected by DAVINCI TS on behalf of the Provider from the Client and then paid to the Provider in accordance with these Terms. The Client and/or the End-Customers shall be solely responsible for payment of all incidental charges that they may incur in excess of the confirmed booking. DAVINCI TS shall not be responsible for the payment, collection or billing of such incidentals.
• The Provider shall specify if a tourist tax, city tax or any other extra charges are included or excluded in the rate. The Provider shall specify it in each request via the Platform. If the price of Accommodation Services does not include applicable tourist tax, city tax or any other extra charges, the Provider is responsible for charging the Client and/or the End-Customers for such amounts separately at the accommodation facility. If the amounts are not paid to the Provider, DAVINCI TS is entitled to add the respective amounts to the price of Accommodation Services charged to the Client by DAVINCI TS. In cases where the applicable tourist tax, city tax or other extra charges are not included in the price of Accommodation Services, respective information shall be displayed on the Platform under the order summary, including the current amount.
• Some accommodation facilities offer free accommodation for each 21st/25st/30th/35th person. If such benefit is offered, the Client will be informed during the booking process and the discounted price will be deducted from the total price of Accommodation Services. Any potential additional surcharges, e.g. for extension of the stay, use of the carpark and other, will be charged separately according to the current pricelist of the respective accommodation facility.
• Conversion of currencies 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.

V. Booking of Accommodation, Reservation Changes, Rooming List

• On the Platform, the Clients 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 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.
• 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.
• 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), the Provider shall be obliged, at the Provider’s own expense, to find nearby replacement accommodation of the same or higher category for the Client and 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, as well as any other associated costs. If the Provider for any reason does not comply with this obligation, DAVINCI TS may search for alternative accommodation facility to accommodate the arriving End-Customers and any price differences and extra costs will be invoiced to and paid by the original Provider.

VI. Availability and Overbooking, Booking Amendments

• The Provider shall specify the following information for each booking request: rates, number of available rooms to offer, room types, cancellation policies, and any other related services or information that Clients and/or End-Customers should know.
