The content of this information and generally applicable provisions, in particular provisions on consumer rights, determine whether, what type and content the contract is accepted between the Partner and the Customer.
- Making a Booking may be dependent on the payment of the deposit or agreeing for the cancellation fee payable to the Partner - information about the possible obligation and consequences of paying the deposit or agreeing to cancellation fee will then be made available to the Customer in the System before making the Booking. The cancellation fee is collected by the Partner at the moment of commencing the provision of the Service by the Partner, if the Customer has missed the appointment, or after the cancellation of the appointment by the Customer after the deadline set by the Partner in which it is possible to cancel the Booking without incurring costs. The deposit is collected by the Partner - at the time of making the Booking.
- Failure to make a deposit if required by the Partner, in accordance with the terms of the Reservation referred to in paragraph 2-3, means no Booking.
- The Customer may at any time cancel the Booking, even after prior confirmation by the Partner, unless he had used the Service prior to the cancellation. The effects of canceling a Booking - in particular in reference to the Partner collecting a deposit or imposing the cancellation fee - may specify the terms of the Booking referred to in paragraphs 2-3. This does not exclude or limit the rights of the Customer as a consumer, resulting from generally applicable provisions, in particular the right to withdraw from a distance contract, while Booksy is not responsible for the implementation of these rights by the Partner, in particular in the event of effective withdrawal by the Customer from the contract accepted with the Partner - it is the Partner who is liable to the Customer for the refund of amounts paid by the Customer.
