General terms and conditions

1. INTRODUCTION
HUM D.D. provides accommodation services in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions, and with the period and details of the confirmed reservation. HUM D.D. is not liable for circumstances caused by conditions beyond its control (wars, riots, strikes, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, sanitary disruptions, restrictions by local authorities, death or illness of service provider and the like.)

2. BOOKING AND PAYMENT
Inquiries and booking of accommodation can be done electronically, by mail or in person at the HUM D.D. office in Vela Luka. When booking, the customer confirms that he is familiar with the General Terms and Conditions, and that he accepts them in their entirety. Thus, everything stated in the General Terms and Conditions becomes legally binding both for the customer and HUM D.D. When booking, the customer is required to give all the information necessary in the booking procedure. When booking, the customer is required to pay an advance of at least 30% of total amount, depending on the payment method, while the balance and Sojourn tax must be paid at least 7 days after confirming conditions, or 15 days prior to the arrival date, or directly to the host upon arrival, depending on the payment method, that the guest was informed about while confirming the reservation.

3. SOJOURN TAX
According to the Croatian Law on the Sojourn Tax, customers are required to pay the Sojourn Tax when paying for their accommodation. The Sojourn Tax varies from 1,10 - 1,40 € per person per day. Customers from the age of 12 to 18 have a 50% discount, while children under the age of 12 are exempt from paying. The final amount of the Sojourn Tax is determined by the destination and travel period, and is charged according to the General Terms and Conditions when balance payment is made.

4. PRICE OF ACCOMMODATION
The price of accommodation includes the basic service as described in the booked accommodation unit. Special services are those not included in the price of accommodation (in accommodation unit description indicated by "services upon agreement" or "additional services" available if arranged in advance); therefore the customer pays for them separately. These services must be requested at the time of booking. The price of accommodation is given in EUR. HUM D.D. reserves the right to make changes to the stated prices (in the event that the host changes prices or there are changes in exchange rates). For customers who have paid an advance for their reservation, HUM D.D. guarantees the price of accommodation, stated in the calculation according to which the advance was paid. If the changes occur prior to the payment of the advance, HUM D.D. is required to inform the customer. If more customers than are stated on the voucher arrive at the accommodation unit, the host has the right to deny the extra customers accommodation or to accommodate all of the customers at extra charge directly made to the host.

5. CATEGORIZATION AND SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Accommodation units offered by HUM D.D. are described in accordance to the official categorization of the authorized institution, and based on onsite assessment prior to being put in HUM's online offer. Standards for accommodation, food, services, etc. differ from place to place, country to country, and cannot be compared.

Should the substitute accommodation be available only in an accommodation unit of higher category and should the price of the substitute accommodation be higher by 15% or more than the initially booked accommodation, HUM D.D. reserves the right to charge the price difference upon consulting the customer. In cases where substitute accommodation for paid accommodation is not available, HUM D.D. reserves the right to cancel the reservation upon prior customer notification (at least 7 days before arrival) and guarantees the refund of the complete paid amount. Should an adequate substitute accommodation not be available on the day of arrival, HUM D.D. will provide information on available accommodation that is not included in HUM's offer and guarantees the refund of the complete paid amount.

7. CUSTOMER’S RIGHT TO CHANGES AND CANCELLATION

The following are examples of cancellation of reservation: change of accommodation unit, and all changes done within 30 days of the arrival date or during use of the accommodation unit. In case of cancellation of reservation, the date of receipt of the written cancellation is used to calculate cancellation costs as follows:

Should the customer not arrive at the booked accommodation unit before midnight on the arrival date, and the customer has not informed HUM D.D. or the host, the reservation is considered to be cancelled, and therefore the cancellation costs will be charged as described above.
