3.1 Prices for accommodation and related services are determined by the Operator’s current price list or by an individual price offer.
3.2 The Client is obliged to pay the accommodation price within the deadlines set by the Operator. A condition for check-in is the one hundred percent (100%) payment of the agreed amount before the start of the stay. Payment is made via bank transfer or through the payment system.
3.3 Refundable Security Deposit (Security Deposit): The Client is obliged to pay a financial deposit determined by the Operator prior to check-in (standardly via bank transfer). This deposit serves as a guarantee to cover any potential damages caused by the Client or persons accommodated with them to the Operator's property, or to pay contractual penalties. If no damage or violation of conditions occurs, the deposit will be refunded to the Client in full via bank transfer within 48 hours of the end of the stay.

4.1 The maximum accommodation capacity of the Property is strictly limited to 13 persons older than 2 years of age, of which the maximum number of adults is 11.
4.2 The Client is obliged to truthfully report the exact number of all accommodated persons during registration. The stay of persons who are not properly registered is strictly prohibited in the building and on its premises.
4.3 If it is discovered that a higher number of persons is present in the property than the limit specified in clause 4.1, or a higher number than was properly reported and paid for, it constitutes a material breach of these GTC and the contract.
4.4 In the event of a violation of capacity limits, the Operator is entitled to:
a) Request the Client to take immediate corrective action and reduce the number of persons to the permitted limit.
b) Charge the Client a contractual penalty of €200 for each unregistered or over-limit person for each commenced day of such unauthorized stay.
c) Immediately withdraw from the contract and immediately evict the Client and all persons from the Property without any compensation. In such a case, the Client is not entitled to a refund of any part of the paid accommodation price or security deposit, while the Operator's right to claim damages remains unaffected.
Article V. CCTV Camera Monitoring System
5.1 The exterior of the Property (the surroundings of the cabin, parking lot, access roads, and outdoor common areas) is continuously monitored by a security camera system with audio and video recording for the purpose of protecting the Operator’s property, safety, and crime prevention.
5.2 By submitting the order and concluding the contractual relationship, the Client acknowledges and grants explicit and unconditional consent to this monitoring, as well as to the processing of personal data (audio-visual recordings) of themselves and the persons accommodated with them (including minor children for whom they are responsible).
5.3 The Client agrees that the camera recordings may be fully used by the Operator as evidence in the event of investigating damage claims, destruction of property, violation of night quiet hours, exceeding the capacity of the property, as well as during investigations by law enforcement authorities or the police.

15 to 29 days before arrival: Cancellation fee of 50% of the total price of the stay.
Less than 15 days before arrival: Cancellation fee of 100% of the total price of the stay (the entire amount is forfeited in favor of the Operator).

7.2 The Client is obliged to immediately report any damage, defect, or incident to the Operator. The Client is obliged to compensate the Operator in full (100% of the cost of restoring to original condition or the purchase price of a new item) for all damages caused intentionally or through negligence. This will be covered primarily from the security deposit, and if the deposit is insufficient, by an additional payment via bank transfer based on a damage report and invoice.
7.3 The Operator is not liable for injuries, damage to health, or the death of the Client and accommodated persons, nor for the loss, theft, or damage of their personal belongings and cars brought to the property, unless these damages were demonstrably and directly caused by a gross breach of the Operator's duties. The Client is strongly advised to take out individual commercial insurance (e.g., liability insurance, travel insurance) before the stay.
