The price of tourist tax is included in overall price of accommodation and is paid for together with the accommodation payment. If tourist tax is not included in overall price it will be represented on the property details.

6. CONTENTS AND PRICE OF THE ACCOMMODATION

The prices advertised on www.split-apartment.com vary between accommodations, and are given for each accommodation unit. Prices are quoted in euros and/or in kunas (for cash payment/money order). On the invoice, will be as well expressed the equivalent value in Kuna of the paid services. The advertised prices for hotel accommodation include only those services that are described with the chosen accommodation unit. The advertised prices for the private accommodation include: daily rental of the accommodation, sheets, equipped kitchen with dishes and cutlery (except when the client reserves a room without kitchen), and expenses: gas, water and electricity (except for accommodation that states otherwise).

Additional services are services that are provided with the accommodation but are not included in the rental price (such as food service, boat rentals, etc.). The client must pay for each service individually and only if he/she uses them. If the Agency knows the prices of services they will be shown on its website. If the Agency does not know the prices of services then the prices are agreed on directly with the service provider. Most services must be paid directly to the service provider, but some must be paid at time of booking confirmation.

While most services are optional some are mandatory (e.g. final cleaning, client’s declaration, in some cases transportation to the accommodation etc.).

Since the availability of the accommodation may depend on additional services (such as the presence of pets, the use of additional beds, etc.), and that services are not always available (e.g. boat rental, the use of the Internet, etc.), the client is obliged to report any additional service when making the reservation.

In some cases the client will have to leave a bond in cash to the service provider. This bond is a guarantee for the service provider that the client will not cause any damage in the accommodation. If on the day of departure of the client the service provider agrees that the accommodation has not been damaged, the entire amount will be refunded to the client.

The client will be informed if he has to leave a bond and of any compulsory service, as well as the way of payment, when receiving the invoice.

The Agency can change the prices on its website in case that the service provider changes the prices of the accommodation and/or of the additional services. If the price of a certain accommodation unit changes after the client has applied for it and before the advance payment, the agency is required to inform the client of the change and upon their approval, send them another calculation.

In case that the price changes after the deposit payment has been made, the Agency guarantees that the rest of the amount will be paid according to the calculation based on the initial price of the accommodation unit. If the Agency or the service provider reduces the price of the accommodation after the client confirmed the reservation, the client will not be able to obtain the new price, lower than the one he paid.

The contracting parties agree that the Agency reserves the right to increase the prices before the beginning of the reservation in case that the exchange rate is modified for more than 5%, or in case of increase of the price of other expenses affecting the price of the service, and that the Agency did not know and could not know. The client reserves the right to cancel his reservation if the price is then increased by more than 10%. In this case the client can request a refund of the price he paid but cannot receive any additional compensation. The amount is returned to the client's bank account.

All the specified prices refer to the stay in the accommodation unit longer than three nights. For a shorter period of stay the price can be increased by 20-30%.

7. CATEGORIZATION AND SERVICE DESCRIPTION

The offered accommodation units are classified according to the official categorization of the local tourism organizations at the time of release of the work permit, and according to the conditions of the accommodation unit at the time of the visit and the processing by our personnel.

The standard of accommodation, food, and other services are particular to places and countries, they are different and cannot be compared. The information the client receives at the accommodation providing place does not put the agency under obligation more than the information published on the agency website.

The arrangement of rooms/apartments in hotels is determined by the hotel reception. If the client did not specifically contract a room/apartment with special features, the client will accept the room/apartment allocated to him/her in accordance with the voucher.

The agency will ensure that the kitchen in every accommodation unit is equipped with corresponding dishes and cutlery according to the number of people it is intended for. Every client is to arrive into a clean and tidy accommodation unit, where clean bed linen will be expecting him. For the clients staying more than one week, extra bed linen will be provided. The service provider has no obligation to provide towels.

The client can take possession of the accommodation unit the day of arrival after 2 pm, and must leave it on the last day of his reservation the latest at 10 am. The owner of the accommodation unit will then have 4 hours to prepare it for the next client.

The keys are given to the client by the service provider himself at the accommodation unit.

8. AGENCY'S RIGHT TO CHANGES AND CANCELLATION

The agency can suggest changing the reserved accommodation unit or canceling it completely or partially, if before or during vacation unexpected circumstances occur which cannot be avoided or removed (e.g. sanitary disorders, etc.). If these same circumstances occurred at the time of publishing and selling the program, the agency would consider them a legitimate reason for not publishing the offer and consequently for not receiving applications and reservation confirmations of the specified accommodation units.

If the agency is able to offer the client an alternative accommodation, the change of the reserved accommodation can be made only with the client's agreement. If the alternative accommodation unit is cheaper than the accommodation unit reserved by the client, The Agency is under obligation to refund the price difference to the client (In that case the Agency bears the bank charges). If the alternative accommodation unit is more expensive than the accommodation unit reserved by the client, the Agency can charge the client for the price difference.

The agency will inform all the clients who have confirmed their arrival by paying for the reservation of any changes in the reservation or cancellation of the reservation immediately upon the occurrence of the unexpected circumstances. If the agency is not able to find an alternative accommodation, it has the obligation to return the whole paid amount to the client, the Agency bears the bank charges and will increase this amount for the bank charges that the client already paid. The client must then send to the agency the document indicating the amount of the bank charges he paid.

This article applies only if the unexpected circumstances are not caused by a case of majored force, and they concern only the reserved accommodation. If the change or the cancellation of the reservation is due to a case of majored force, the Article 10. will be applied.

9. CLIENT'S RIGHT TO CHANGES AND CANCELLATION

The client can change a reservation already confirmed only if the service provider accepts the change. These changes may include: change of the name of the person responsible for the booking, dates of the reservation, number of persons, their age and type of basic or extra services booked. The client must send his request to change the reservation in writing (by e-mail, fax or by mail).

If the client want to cancel his reservation, he must send his request in writing (by e-mail, fax or by mail).

The date when the agency receives the notification of the cancellation represents a basis for the calculation of cancellation charges in the following way:

In case of a cancellation please note that the reservation deposit is non refundable

• For a cancellation occurring to 7 days before the start of using the reserved service the cancellation is free of charge.

• For a cancellation occurring from 7 to 0 days before the start of using the reserved service the agency keeps the right to charge the client for the first night of the reserved accommodation.

• If the client does not show up at the destination or cancels the arrangement upon its beginning, the agency keeps the right to charge the whole amount.

If the actual costs are higher than presented above, the agency keeps the right of charging all the actual costs.

The specified cancellation charges also apply in case when booking details have been changed and the service provider does not accept the possible change of the reservation, with respect to the transfer of the amount already paid by the client to a new account.

If the client wants to change to an accommodation unit of a different service provider it will be treated as a booking cancellation. In that case the client will be charged cancellation fee on the scale shown above and if there is a difference in price it will be transferred to the new client's reservation. The Agency will offer the client a 10% discount (10 % of the amount of the canceled reservation) on the new reservation.

If the client who cancels the reserved accommodation unit finds a new client for the same reservation, the agency charges only the costs caused by the change.

If the reservation is canceled following the death of the client (person in charge of the booking) or of a member of his immediate family, the Agency will charge the minimum amount of cancellation fees (20%). This is also valid if the reservation is canceled following the death of a member of the group or a member of his immediate family (spouse, brother, sister, parents or children), in case that the agency has been informed that this person is part of the group.

The client must then send to the agency the death certificate, and if necessary the certificate of family relationship between the deceased and the client, or member of the group.

Immediately upon determining the correct amount to be returned to the client, the agency will make the payment on the client's bank account, the client bears the bank charges.

If the client cancels his reservation for any other reason, the cancellation fee will be calculated as indicated above depending on the date on which the agency receives the notification of cancellation.

If the client does not show up at the accommodation the latest at 8 pm on the day of arrival and did not inform the Agency or the service provider about his delay, the reservation will be considered canceled and the costs cancellation will be calculated as a cancellation on the day of arrival. If the service provider has in the meantime accepted other clients, no claim will be accepted by the client and the agency will not refund him the amount he paid.

10. AGENCY'S OBLIGATIONS

The agency has the obligation to carry out the services as well as to select the service provider giving it all the necessary attention, and also the agency is to take care of the rights and interests of the client in accordance with the good habits in tourism.

The agency is responsible that the client receives all the services he paid for, and thus is responsible to the client for any possible non-fulfillment of the services or a part of the services the client paid for.

The agency is not responsible if the failure of the service is due to a case of majored force in the client's country or in the country where the service has to be realized (war, riots, strikes, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, official interventions, etc.), and results in the impossibility for the client to stay in the accommodation unit he reserved. In this case the client is not reimbursed of the amount he paid, and this amount cannot be used for another service that the client would like to reserve in another place or at other dates.

If the client does not respect the above stated obligations, the client can be denied of accommodation service provision and in this case the client is not entitled to claim the compensation or the refund of the paid amount.

12. TRAVEL INSURANCE

The cost of the trip does not include the travel insurance "package": insurance against accidents and illnesses that may occur during the trip, damage or loss of luggage or voluntary health insurance. When confirming the reservation online, the client has accepted these General conditions by selecting a payment method and completing the reservation confirmation process.

In case of cancellation of the reservation due to disease, hospitalization, or death of the client before or during the stay, the agency does not refund the expenses of cancellation. In this case the agency will calculate the expenses of cancellation as indicated in the article 9. Should the client request additional insurance, arrangements can be made directly with the insurance company wherein the Agency acts only as a mediator.

13. THE LUGGAGE

The luggage is carried at the risk of the client, thus we recommend insuring the luggage in an insurance company.

The agency does not hold any responsibility for the ruined or lost luggage, nor for stealing of the luggage or valuable objects from the accommodation unit. The client should report it to the host or to the nearest police station.

14. OBJECTION RESOLVING

The client may claim for any errors related to photographs or information published on the site for the reserved accommodation unit, except when this error is to the advantage of the client. The client can also complain on cleanliness and disorder of the reserved accommodation unit.

The client cannot complain on information given on the website www.split-apartment.com and that he did not noticed, or any information that he was warned by the staff of the Agency.

The client cannot complain on any other fact, including bad weather, the configuration of the beach, the cleanliness of the beach, the cleanliness and equipment of the place of destination, the cleanliness and the temperature of the sea, any other similar situation or event that may cause client dissatisfaction, and is not connected to the quality of the reserved accommodation (e.g. local problem of water supply, pipeline problem, crowds, theft or damage to personal property, etc.).

Any justified complaint will be resolved on the spot, and if it is not possible, another accommodation unit will be proposed to the client. If the service provider cannot solve the problem emphasized by the client, and the Agency cannot propose any alternative accommodation, the amount paid will be refunded to the client, the Agency will bear the bank charges. The client cannot receive more than the amount he/she paid. The client must first confirm that he will not ask for compensation of material or non-material damage (such as bank charges for the realization of payment, telephone bills, gasoline costs, loss of time, stress, psychological damage, etc.). Each client - reservation holder must file a complaint separately.

The client is obligated to file a complaint on the day of his/her arrival at the location of the service provider (receptionist or accommodation unit owner and the like) and to inform the Agency by email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or by phone at +385 91 390 9411. The client is obligated to cooperate with the Agency representative as well as with the service provider in a well-intentioned manner so that the cause of the complaint can be resolved. Should the client accept the proposed solution which corresponds with the service rendered on the spot, the Agency is not obligated to take additional complaints into consideration

If the valid complaint cannot be properly resolved, the Agency is under obligation to find an alternative accommodation.

The criteria for comparison of the reserved accommodation unit and the alternative accommodation unit are the location and the price advertised on the Agency website. The agency is under obligation to offer the client an alternative accommodation in the same Riviera or in the Riviera nearby. The price of the alternative accommodation unit will be considered the same if it is equal to, or lower/higher up to 15 % of the reserved accommodation unit price. If the alternative accommodation price is lower than the reserved accommodation price the client is entitled to refund of the price difference. If the alternative accommodation price is higher than the reserved accommodation price, the price difference will be borne by the Agency.

If the client does not accept the alternative accommodation (of equivalent location and price), the Agency will not take into consideration any complaint subsequently submitted and is under no obligation to respond to it. By accepting the alternative accommodation, the client waives all rights to claim a refund of the amount paid for the reserved accommodation unit.

If the Agency does not resolve the client's complaint and does not provide any alternative accommodation, the client reserves the right to leave the reserved accommodation unit. The Agency is then under obligation to refund the paid amount to the client and will bear the bank charges.

If the Agency determines that the complaint is not valid, it will not undertake any actions to resolve the complaint. The client has a possibility to accept the decision and remain in the reserved accommodation unit on the previously defined terms and conditions, or request an alternative accommodation from the Agency in which case the client is under obligation to pay the full amount of the accommodation directly to the service provider. By deciding to remain in the reserved accommodation unit the client waives the right to claim a refund of the paid amount of money. If the client does not accept the decision of the Agency and wants to claim a refund of the paid amount of money, the client is not entitled to remain in the reserved accommodation.

If the complaint is unjustified and the guest goes from the place of service he loses the right of afterwards complaint and refund.

If the problem is not resolved on the spot following an intervention, the Client is obligated to submit a written complaint along with supporting documents as well as any photographs to support the complaint to the agency by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or to the following address Memento d.o.o. Hektoroviceva 40, HR-21000 Split, no later than 8 days following the return of the Client from his/her trip. The Agency shall only take into consideration fully documented complaints which are received within the 8-day deadline.

Until a decision has been made by the Agency, in other words for the duration of the 14/28 days after the complaint has been filed, the Client relinquishes the right to involve a third party, the arbitration of the UHPA or other institutions, publicly disclosing information as well as filing suit. The highest amount of compensation per complaint can amount to the complaint portion of the service and cannot encompass the used portion of the service or the total amount of the service. This excludes the Client's right to be compensated for ideal damages.

15. COMPETENCE OF COURT

The parties will attempt to resolve any disagreement amicably. If they could not agree they should bring the case to court in Split.

For all that is not specified in these General conditions, the legal regulation of the Republic of Croatia will be applied.
