The accommodation provider is the company Nomce, s.r.o., ID No. (IČO): 03670171, with its registered office at Jankovcova 1037/49, 170 00 Prague, registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague, Section B, Insert 12293 (hereinafter referred to as the “Provider”).

  3. The client is a natural or legal person who enters into an accommodation contract with the Provider (hereinafter referred to as the “Contract”). A guest is a natural person who uses the accommodation based on the Contract; the Client may simultaneously be a Guest. Another person means, in particular, a visitor or external contractor whom the Client or Guest permits to enter the Accommodation Facility or its outdoor areas. The Manager means a person authorized by the Provider to handle operational tasks associated with the stay.

  4. The GTC form an integral part of the Contract. Individually agreed terms set forth in the Order confirmation or otherwise agreed in writing between the Provider and the Client shall take precedence over the GTC in the event of a conflict.

  5. The specific terms of the stay, in particular the dates, number of Guests, price, and any additional services expressly provided by the Provider, are specified in the Order confirmation or otherwise agreed between the Provider and the Client.

  6. Legal relations between the Provider and the Client are governed by the Contract, these GTC, and the legal order of the Czech Republic. If the Client is a consumer, their rights that cannot be contractually excluded or limited remain unaffected.

  7. The current version of the GTC is published at www.chateaujosefuvdul.cz. Contact email of the Provider: jelinkova@nomce.cz.

Art. 1 ORDER AND CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT

  1. The Client orders a stay by electronic mail, through a booking platform with which the Provider cooperates, or by another method made available by the Provider (hereinafter referred to as the “Order”).

  3. The Order must contain the details necessary for the conclusion and performance of the Contract, in particular the identification and contact details of the Client, requested stay dates, and number of Guests.

  6. By sending the Order, the Client confirms that they have had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with these GTC in advance and agree that, upon conclusion of the Contract, these GTC shall become an integral part thereof.

  7. Sending the Order does not in itself create a right to accommodation.

The confirmation determines, in particular, the stay dates, price, and other individual terms.

  8. If the Order is placed through a booking platform, the procedure for concluding the Contract may also be governed by the rules of the respective platform; the Contract is concluded at the moment notified to the Client as booking confirmation.
