1.1 These General Business Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as GBTC) govern the rights and obligations of customers (hereinafter referred to as the “Customer”) and of ASIANA spol. s r. o. (hereinafter referred to as “ASIANA”), a corporation with ID No. 49704362, having its registered office in Prague 6, Velflíkova 8, post code 160 00, registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague, section C, file 22489. ASIANA operates on the Czech market as a travel agency and tour operator, carrying out its business primarily through the following websites: www.letuska.cz, www.asiana.cz, www.ckasiana.cz, www.study.cz, www.viza.cz, www.airmeti.sk, and www.superletuska.cz. Unless these GBTC explicitly state otherwise, the terms and conditions shall apply to the marketing and sale of travel services and packages under the following trademarks: Letuska.cz, CK ASIANA, Study.cz, and ASIANA s. r. o. In the event of a change in the GBTC to which a Customer does not agree, the Customer shall be entitled to terminate his agreement with ASIANA in writing, within one month of the publication of a notice of the change in the GBTC on ASIANA’s website, by a registered letter delivered to the address of ASIANA’s registered office. In that case, ASIANA is entitled to compensation for costs incurred in performing the service for the Customer, or to a cancellation fee set for the given agreement. Should the Customer fail to exercise that right, he shall be understood to consent to the amended GBTC, and the contractual relationship shall be governed by the amended GBTC as of the expiration of that period. Changes in any written agreement must be made in writing.
1.2 Customer shall mean an individual or a legal entity that expresses interest in entering into a Package Tour Agreement (or another agreement for services rendered) with or through ASIANA, or a person for whose benefit the agreement has been concluded. For the purpose of these GBTC, a Customer shall also be a person who has sent a non-binding order for a Package Tour or another service in line with Article 2 of these GBTC.
1.3 ASIANA is a broker authorised to sell airline tickets and other related travel services of companies providing Carriage or accommodation, vehicle rental, or other services. ASIANA is authorised to sell airline tickets of carriers which are not members of the International Air Transport Association. An indicative list of carriers can be found on ASIANA’s websites at www.letuska.cz and www.asiana.cz odkazem. ASIANA is authorised to receive money from Customers as payment of the price of Carriage and other related travel services.
1.4 Furthermore, ASIANA is an authorised reseller of Package Tours of reputable tour operators (hereinafter referred to as “TO”), with which it has entered into a regular Package Tour sales agreement. All TOs with which ASIANA cooperates have informed ASIANA that they are duly insured against bankruptcy and, in most cases, they have operated on the Czech market for a number of years.
1.5 ASIANA is also licensed to operate as a “Tour Operator”. If a Package Tour Agreement, Package Tour Confirmation, Binding Order of Services, or these GBTC, explicitly state ASIANA as the organiser or Provider, then ASIANA is acting as a Tour Operator. Otherwise, it shall be assumed that it operates as a travel agency, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
1.6 The Customer shall be responsible for his order being correct, both factually and formally, in particular, for correctly stating his personal details, dates, and other conditions that are of significance with respect to the services sought from ASIANA. ASIANA shall not be liable for any damage incurred due to any incorrect data provided by the Customer. When entering a request or order, a Customer shall state his specific requirements with respect to the services sought, and apply for any discount for which he may be eligible. The Customer understands that any specific requirements or discounts requested at a later point cannot be taken into account in the provision of the service. The Customer also understands and agrees that specific requirements with respect to a service requested may be subject to extra fees not included in the basic price of the service.
1.7 ASIANA reserves the right to reject an order if it contains incorrect, contradictory, or incomplete data with respect to the Customer. Furthermore, ASIANA is entitled to reject an order placed by a Customer who repeatedly places incomplete or incorrectly filled out orders; repeatedly and without cause fails to pay agreed deposits or the price of a service he has ordered; repeatedly fails to submit signed documents; or who is, while placing an order in person at an ASIANA branch, under the influence of narcotics.
1.8 Unless otherwise stated, if the Customer withdraws from an agreement, he shall pay to ASIANA the cancellation fee specified for the type of service or Package Tour concerned, in line with these GBTC. If no fee has been set, the Customer shall pay the costs that ASIANA incurred in the performance of the agreement prior to the delivery of the Customer’s withdrawal from the agreement. The withdrawal shall be in writing, shall be delivered to ASIANA’s registered office, and shall take effect upon its delivery to ASIANA.
1.9. The Customer understands that a claim with respect to air carriage or services directly related thereto may only be lodged in the manner specified in the terms and conditions of the carrier (hereinafter referred to as “Carrier”) or of the provider/operator (hereinafter referred to as “Provider”); see Article 2.4 of these GBTC. ASIANA is not entitled to handle any claims of the Customer pertaining to Air Carriage or related services. In the case of a claim concerning a defect in other services provided by ASIANA to the Customer, the Customer may make that claim directly with ASIANA, without undue delay after having discovered the defect. ASIANA shall deal with the claim in line with applicable legal regulations. ASIANA shall not be liable for a flawed provision of service or a failure to provide a service due to a force majeure event, or if a claim has been lodged with respect to a service that was only brokered by it. In this case, liability for defects or shortcomings shall be borne by the Provider of the brokered service, as in the case of Air Carriage.
1.10 The Customer shall pay the price of the service or Package Tour ordered directly from ASIANA or through ASIANA’s brokerage within the period set in the agreement or order confirmation applicable, and if no such period is set, the Customer shall consult the due date directly with an ASIANA agent. The price of services shall be deemed paid on the day on which the agreed price and the applicable taxes and fees are credited to ASIANA’s bank account, or on the day on which the price of a service is paid in cash at ASIANA’s cash desk, if this occurs prior to 5:00 p.m. Payments credited to an account or paid at a cash desk after 5:00 p.m. shall be deemed to be paid on the following day business day.
1.11 These GBTC do not govern and do not apply to:
(a) rights and obligations between the Customer and a Carrier or Provider in the provision of air passenger carriage and in the provision of related travel services. Such a relationship shall be governed by an agreement and the applicable conditions of the particular Provider;
(b) rights and obligations between the Customer and a Package Tour organiser in the provision of a Package Tour, on the basis of a Package Tour Agreement concluded through ASIANA. Such relationships shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Package Tour organiser concerned;
(c) relations between the Customer and an insurance company, even in cases when insurance was arranged through ASIANA. The Customer shall become acquainted with the insurance policy, including the insurance company’s general insurance terms and conditions, and in the case of an insured event or in other cases, he shall approach the insurance company directly;
(d) rights and obligations between the Customer and a Provider of accommodation, vehicle rental, or other tourism services brokered by ASIANA for the Customer. Such relations shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Provider concerned.

Introductory provisions

The Provider is the Twisto Service provider.
The Twisto Service consists in buying The Merchant’s Claims against Customers upon the request of each individual Customer and with the Merchant’s consent, in the manner and under the conditions laid down in these GTCT and under the Contract for Services, with each individual Claim being assigned immediately after the conclusion of the Purchase Agreement. An advantage for the Customer is the fact that the due period of the assigned Claim is immediately set to 14 days from the dispatch of the Goods in the event of using the Online Payment service or to 45 days from the dispatch of the Goods in the event of using the Twisto Account service.
The E-shop offers the Twisto Service to Customers as part of the selection of the manner of payment of the Total Purchase Price. The Customer can select the Twisto Service as a manner of payment, which is conditioned by the Customer obtaining the Provider’s confirmation based on an assessment of the Customer’s ability to pay, which is carried out in real time and the Customer is immediately informed of the result through the relevant web interface of the E-shop. At that moment the assignment of the Claim by the Merchant to the Provider is effective and the Customer is obligated to pay the debt (Claim) to the Provider.
The Provider and the Merchant enter into an individual written agreement in the form of a Contract for Services, whose provisions take precedence over the provisions of these GTCT.
The technical aspects of the Twisto Service not covered by the Contract for Services or these GTCT are covered by the Guide (technical guide for integration).
In the event of contradictions between the individual binding documents, the order of the document’s binding effect is as follows:
1. Contract for Services
2. GTCT
3. Guide.
The Provider may change these GTCT unilaterally. In relation to the Merchant, the change shall take effect on the thirtieth (30^th) day after it is concluded through the website twisto.cz unless the Merchant notifies the Provider of terminating the contractual relationship within 30 days of publishing the changes. The Provider shall notify the Merchant of each change of the GTCT separately by e-mail, without any undue delay, after publishing the change on the Twisto website specified above.
In matters not covered by the Contract and/or these GTCT or the Guide, the contractual relationship between the Provider and the Merchant shall be governed by the Civil Code or by other applicable legislation that is in force in the Czech Republic.

The Merchant shall the Provider – in relation to the E-shop, individual Customers and Claims – full, accurate and true information necessary for the proper provision of the Twisto Service in the manner and under the conditions specified herein and in the Contract for Services. In order to exclude any doubts and regardless of any other arrangements, the Merchant shall provide any important facts and information regarding the Claim or the Customer (especially contact information and order information). The Merchant shall, above all, inform the Provider of and facts known to the Merchant or learnt by the Merchant during the Contract period which might have impact on the amount and duration of the Claim, such as any counterclaims or objections that the Customer might make against the Merchant.
The Merchant is also required to ensure that at the time of the provision of the Twisto Service the Customer consents to the Provider’s General Terms and Conditions for Customers (GTCC) in the manner specified in the Guide (implementation of a reference to the GTCC and the approval of their wording by selecting the Twisto Service) within the E-shop’s web interface or by modifying their own General Terms and Conditions if such a modification is considered to be effective.
Upon the Provider’s request, the Merchant shall ensure the delivery of the purchased Goods to the Customer or to a person authorised to accept the Goods under the Merchant’s General Terms and Conditions through a third person (carrier); that shall only happen with a written document (proof of delivery) being signed by the Customer.
If the Goods are delivered to the Customer’s address (i.e. not collected on the Merchant’s premises or at a collection terminal), that address must be the address provided by the Customer in the Purchase Agreement as the delivery address.
Upon the Provider’s request, the Merchant shall provide any necessary cooperation in order to prove that the Goods have been collected by the Customer personally or by a person authorised by the Customer; that shall be proved by submitting the signed proof of receipt of the Goods or by the Customer’s identification data (if recorded by the carrier upon delivery of the Goods). The Parties stipulate that the risk of failure to correctly identify and verify the Customer’s identity shall be borne by the carrier, as specified, as a standard, in the Merchant’s and carrier’s general terms and conditions.
If the Goods offered by the Merchant have no material substance, the Parties agree that the provisions of Article III (4 and 6) of the GTCT shall not apply to such a contractual relationship because the Goods are not physically received by the Customer. Instead, the Merchant shall ensure and, upon request, submit to the Provider a proof of delivery of the Goods to the Customer.
The Merchant shall duly and in a timely fashion meet all of its obligations to the Customer under the Purchase Agreement and under the Merchant’s General Terms and Conditions.
The Merchant shall determine its Contact Person.

The Merchant may require the Customer to provide any necessary technical support and assistance in relation to the connection of the Merchant’s and the Provider’s information systems and related accessories for the purpose of the Twisto Service in compliance with the Guide, and the Provider undertakes to provide the Merchant with necessary cooperation for this purpose.
The Merchant undertakes to sign, upon the Provider’s request, a written statement saying that a particular Claim has been assigned to the Provider upon the Customer’s request and with the Merchant’s consent. The Merchant also undertakes to provide the Provider with any documents and information for each Claim and particularly for the delivery of the Goods and for Customer identification for the purpose of seeking the satisfaction of a Claim, upon the Provider’s request. This obligation of the Merchant’s lasts for five years after the termination of the Contract.
In relation to each Purchase Agreement and assigned Claim, the Merchant shall inform the Provider, upon request, of the fact that the Goods were delivered to the Customer and when they were delivered.
The Merchant shall immediately notify the Provider and the Customer or confirm to the Provider and the Customer that a Customer, who has used the Twisto Service, has entered into a Purchase Agreement; such notification or confirmation shall be sent by e-mail or through the E-shop’s web interface, and the Merchant shall also include the information of assigning the Claim in the invoice issued by the Merchant (if any).
If a Claim has been assigned to the Provider but the Customer has sent the payment to the Merchant’s bank account, the Merchant shall transfer the payment to the Provider within a period set by the provider, who shall use the payment to pay the Customer’s debt (Claim against the Customer). If the Merchant does not do so, the Provider may demand to be rendered the payment.

The Provider’s Rights and Obligations

The Provider shall ensure Customers’ access to the Provider’s information systems through the E-shop’s web interface in the manner described in the Guide for the purpose of providing the Twisto Service.
The Provider may assess each individual request for the Service made by a Customer in terms of the Customer’s ability to pay, submitted via the E-shop’s web interface, and approve or reject such a request at its discretion without having to explain the approval or rejection to the Customer.
The Provider shall pay the Merchant the Consideration for Assignment in the manner and within the deadlines set forth herein and in the Contract for Services.

The Provider shall determine its Contact Person.

Assignment of Claims

If the Provider approves, upon the Customer’s request and with the Customer’s consent, the use of the Twisto Service and informs the Customer of this fact through the web interface, immediately after the Customer receives the Merchant’s notification of the conclusion of a particular Purchase Agreement, the Claim (including its accessions and related rights) under that Purchase Agreement shall be assigned by the Merchant to the Provider.
The Merchant declares that each assigned Claim is the Customer’s true debt and that the Merchant is not aware of any objections raised by the Customer which could be applied to the Claim or to the Merchant, acting as the assignor, and which could influence the amount or existence of the Claim.
The Provider shall pay the Merchant the Consideration for Assignment by means of Settlement on the next nearest Settlement Day but after the dispatch of the Goods to the Customer by the Merchant at the earliest.
For the provision of the Service, the Merchant shall pay the Provider Margin, which shall be an amount in CZK, and the Margin is due according to the agreement between the Provider and the Merchant.
The Provider shall bear the risk of the debt (Claim) not being paid by the Customer (Customer’s payment risk). The Provider may not withdraw from any individual assignment of a Claim for the reason that the Customer has not paid the debt or because the Customer is bankrupt. The provision of section 1885 of the Civil Code shall not apply.
Regardless of the provisions of paragraph 5, the Merchant is responsible for the existence of the Claim. If the Provider’s claim is rejected in the relevant action proceedings or execution proceedings because the Claim against the Customer has not been established or has partly or in full ceased to exist for reasons on the Merchant’s part or for reasons on the Customer’s part which already existed at the time of Claim assignment and which were known to the Merchant, the Merchant shall (i) return the whole Consideration for Assignment and (ii) pay the Provider the amount of the penalty fees and the penalty under the GTCC that the Provider would have been entitled to in relation to the Customer for the time elapsed before the Provider learnt about the non-existence or irrecoverability of the Claim.
In order to exclude any doubts, the Parties stipulate that besides the Claim, the subject matter of assignment does not include any other rights and obligations of the Merchant under the Purchase Agreement.

Data processing

The Provider shall process the Customer data of the Merchant in accordance with this GTCT. This GTCT are made within the rights and duties arising from the relevant legislation, in particular the Regulation no. 2016/679 of April 27^th, 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data („Regulation“).
The Provider shall adopt such technical, personal and other measures, to avoid an authorized or accidental access to personal data, to its change, destruction or loss, unauthorized transmission, to its other unauthorized processing, as other misusage. This duty is applicable also after the termination of the data processing by the Provider.
The Provider shall secure the fulfillment of the duties arising from the Regulation and legislation, in particular by securing demonstrable familiarization of the authorized persons and its other employees and other authorized persons providing services to the Merchant with a duty of confidentiality and with other relevant duties according to respective legal regulations.
In case of detecting a breach of security of the data protection of the processed data provided by the Merchant, an unauthorized or accidental approach to such data, destruction or loss, unauthorized transmission or other unauthorized processing or misusage, the Provider is obliged to inform the Merchant immediately and the Provider is obliged to accept measures to eliminate the defective state.
The Provider and the Merchant are obliged to provide mutually all the necessary cooperation and documents to secure the smooth and effective realization of the data processing especially in case of negotiations and dealing with the data subjects, Office for Personal Data Protection or with other public authorities.
After the Customers request for a provision of Twisto Service, the Merchant allows to the Provider the identification of the Customer by providing its personal data. The Provider is entitled to get the access to relevant data of the Customer (including in particular, not exclusively, a name, surname, e-mail address, address of residence and phone number), that the evaluation of the ability of the Customer to pay the claim could be provided.
On the basis of the identification of the Customer, the Provider will carry out the evaluation (scoring) and approval or disapproval of the Twisto Service provision according to its discretion.

Customer’s withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement

The Merchant shall inform the Provider immediately, within 48 hours from the Customer’s relevant act in relation to the Merchant at the latest, that the Customer has performed an act towards the withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement (“Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement”).

Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement within 14 days after the delivery of Goods.

If the Withdrawal from the Purchase Contract occurs within 14 days from the date of the delivery of Goods to the Customer and if the Provider is notified of it within the period specified in paragraph 1 of this article, the Purchase Agreement shall be terminated without the Claim being assigned immediately when the Merchant’s written notification is delivered to the Provider, and the Merchant shall return the full Consideration for Assignment to the Provider. The Merchant’s obligation to return the full Consideration for Assignment to the Provider shall be established once the undamaged Goods have been returned by the Customer to the Merchant.
If, within 48 hours after the period of 14 days from the delivery of the Goods to the Customer has lapsed, the Provider does not receive any message from the Merchant as to whether or not the Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement has occurred, the Withdrawal is deemed not to have occurred and the Provider is allowed to collect the debt from the Customer.
If the Customer has withdrawn from the Purchase Agreement but the Merchant has not notified the Provider of it within the time period specified in paragraph 1 of this Article, the Assignment of Claim shall be cancelled on the day of the nearest Settlement and the Merchant shall (i) return the full Consideration for Assignment to the Provider and (ii) pay the Provider a sum amounting to the total of penalty fees, interests and penalties calculated under the GTCC that the Provider would have become entitled to for the time elapsed before the Provider learnt about the withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement; that also applies if the Merchant does not notify the Provider of the Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement repeatedly.

Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement after 14 days after the delivery of Goods

If the Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement occurs after 14 days from the delivery of Goods and if it is not an obviously delayed act of withdrawal without reason with the period of 14 days from the delivery of the Goods to the Customer, the Merchant shall inform the Provider of such a Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement within 48 hours.
If the Withdrawal from the Purchase Contract occurs within 14 days from the date of the delivery of Goods and if the Provider is notified of it within the period specified in paragraph 5 of this Article, the Assignment of the Claim shall be cancelled once the Merchant accepts the Customer’s complaint. In such a case the Merchant shall return the Consideration for Assignment to the Provider in full. If the Merchant does not accept the Customer’s complaint about the Goods, the Provider shall have the right to collect the debt from the Customer.
If the Withdrawal from the Purchase Contract occurs after 14 days from the date of the delivery of Goods to the Customer and if the Customer has already paid the debt to the Provider, the Provider shall handle the payment according to the Merchant’s instructions, i.e. the Provider shall, according to the Merchant’s instructions, either return the payment to the Customer or transfer it to the Merchant.

Common provisions for the Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement

If the Withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement has occurred for any reason, the Provider is still entitled to the Margin. The Merchant shall pay the Margin to Twisto, or more precisely, may not require the Margin to be returned if it has already been paid.

Settlement

Settlement shall be carried out on the Settlement Day.
The Provider and the Merchant agree that within Settlement all their mutual claims, both due and undue, arisen by the end of the day before the Settlement Day shall be set off.
The difference resulting from setting off the claims shall be paid by the Merchant or by the Provider, according to the situation, on the Settlement Day by transfer of funds to the bank account specified in the Contract for Services. The debt corresponding to the difference after the mutual claims have been set off is paid by the amount corresponding to this difference being credited to the other Party’s bank account.
The Settlement calculation shall be done by the Provider on the shared web interface, where the calculation result shall be made accessible to the Merchant by the end of the Settlement Day.

Settlement of disputes

Any disputes resulting from or in connection with any contractual relationship between the Merchant and the Company or in connection with their invalidity or in connection with unjustified enrichment being returned to or by the Provider or the Merchant shall be finally decided by three arbitrators of the Arbitration Court attached to the Economic Chamber of the Czech Republic and the Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic according to its rules of procedure.

Final provisions

Any legal relationship resulting from or in connection with the Twisto Service shall be governed by the legal system of the Czech Republic, in particular by the Civil Code and by related legislation.
The Provider and the Merchant undertake to keep any facts concerning the contractual relationship between them confidential.
If any provision of these GTCT becomes invalid or unenforceable, it shall be replaced by a provision whose meaning is as close as possible to that of the invalid provision. The invalidity or unenforceability of such a provision shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions.

These GTCT become effective on 4^th June, 2018.

3.5.4 Should the Customer, for any reason on its part, fail to use, in part or in full, a service, to the provision of which he was entitled pursuant to the Package Tour Agreement, this shall not give rise to any right to a discount from the price of the Package Tour or from the price of the service.
3.5.5 In the event that the Customer arranges selected services complementing a Package Tour himself (in particular, the airline ticket), he does so at his own responsibility. ASIANA shall not pay any costs arising due to the cancellation of the Package Tour, a change in the dates of the Package Tour, or a modification of the programme.
3.6 Package Tour Cancellation and Cancellation Fee
3.6.1 The Customer may withdraw from the Package Tour Agreement prior to the commencement of the Package Tour.

•   more than 90 days prior to the commencement of the Package Tour: costs actually incurred, and CZK 1,000;
•   90 – 61 days prior to the commencement of the Package Tour: costs actually incurred; but at least 20% of the aggregate price;
•   60 – 46 days prior to the commencement of the Package Tour: costs actually incurred; but at least 30% of the aggregate price;
•   45 – 31 days prior to the commencement of the Package Tour: costs actually incurred; but at least 50% of the aggregate price
•   30 and fewer days prior to the commencement of the Package Tour: 100% of the price of the Package Tour.

(d) Should the Customer request a change in the Agreement, ASIANA may, if it accepts the change, request the following performance:

In this situation, ASIANA is entitled to demand compensation for costs incurred by it in this regard; a change, in the case of airline tickets, shall be made in line with the terms and conditions of the airline and the air fare used.
Change in the date of the Package Tour or of services (a change may only be made subject to a verification of availability and possibility of change): in a period of up to 40 days prior to the commencement of the Package Tour, ASIANA may demand payment of the costs that ASIANA incurs in this regard. If a change in the date is requested in a period of fewer than 40 days prior to the commencement of the Package Tour, ASIANA may, in addition to its costs, also demand from the Customer the fee set at the amount of the cancellation fee specified in Article 3.4.1 of these GBTC;

In the event of a partial payment by the Customer and a partial payment by another entity, the refund of the price of the Package Tour, if cancelled, shall be made to all payers at the same ratio. The period for processing a refund of the price of a cancelled Package Tour is 35 calendar days.
(g) Should the Customer take advantage of paying for a Package Tour by a gift certificate issued by ASIANA, the refund of the price of the Package Tour, if cancelled, is governed by the special conditions stated in the gift certificate.
3.6.2 Withdrawal from the Agreement (cancellation) must be made exclusively in writing, with the Customer’s signature, and sent either by e-mail to zajezdy@letuska.cz or submitted in person during opening hours at one of ASIANA’s branches, receipt of which the Customer shall have confirmed by a staff member responsible.

4. CONDITIONS FOR THE BROKERING OF INDIVIDUAL TOURISM-RELATED SERVICES
(e.g., accommodation, vehicle (in particular, car) rental, entrance tickets, excursions, etc.)
4.1 ASIANA is an authorised broker of accommodation and other individual tourism services and related services of selected Providers with which it has entered into agreements, pursuant to which ASIANA may agree on such services with Customers, issuing a voucher certifying the submission of a binding order for such services (hereinafter referred to as “Voucher”), and collect the agreed price of such services in its own name.
4.2 ASIANA offers its customers the possibility of the brokerage of selected services of a selected Provider. The Customer understands that rights and obligations arise thereby only for the Service Provider and the Customer, and that ASIANA acts only as the broker in such a relationship.
4.3 The Customer understands that the Provider of the given tourism service and related services shall be solely responsible for the provision of such services, in line with its commercial terms and conditions, rather than ASIANA, which does not act as the provider of accommodation or any other services and is therefore not liable for the due and timely provision of those services, or for any injury, illness, loss, or damage of an item or other property of the Customer sustained in connection with accommodation, vehicle rental, or use of any other brokered services.
4.4 At his discretion, the Customer may place his order for services:
(a) by electronic on-line booking, via the Internet, on an ASIANA website, in particular at: www.letuska.cz, www.asiana.cz, www.airmeti.sk, www.superletuska.cz,
(b) by telephone, fax, or electronic post;
(c) in person at an ASIANA establishment.
4.5 By booking through an electronic on-line booking system, telephone, fax, electronic mail, or in person at an ASIANA establishment, the Customer places his binding order of accommodation or other related tourism services and agrees to these GBTC without reservation. Following the receipt of an order, ASIANA shall confirm such receipt without delay and, (if required according to the Provider’s terms and conditions) following its confirmation by the Service Provider, ASIANA shall send the Customer a confirmation of his order, stating information about the accommodation or other or related services that he has ordered, about the Service Provider, and the aggregate price, either:
(a) in electronic form to the e-mail address that the Customer provided during on-line booking; or
(b) by other means (e.g., post, electronic form, fax…), in the case of booking by telephone, fax, electronic mail, or in person at an ASIANA establishment.
4.6 The Customer understands that until the aggregate price is paid (i.e., price including all of the services ordered, related services, price of brokerage, etc.), the order confirmation is not binding and the booking of services as well as their price may be subject to change without prior notice. Binding orders are accepted during regular office hours, on business days, no later than 5:00 p.m. Any orders received by the Provider outside of these hours shall be dealt with on the next business day. Arrangements on services between the Customer and the Provider are binding only once the Customer pays the aggregate price following a verification of the validity of the booking of the service ordered or another related service with ASIANA. By paying the aggregate price, the Customer confirms that ASIANA has provided to him all the information required (including cancellation and claims conditions) and related documents.
4.7 Should the terms and conditions of the Service Provider require the conclusion of a written agreement, ASIANA shall inform the Customer thereof as soon as the Provider of accommodation or other services confirms the Customer’s order. At the same time, ASIANA shall inform the Customer about the period for which his order shall apply, within which the Customer must enter into the agreement. In the event of the expiration of the order validity period in vain, a new order confirmation must be requested from the Service Provider. The Agreement is concluded once signed by the Customer and ASIANA. By signing, the Customer confirms that ASIANA has provided him with all the information required (including cancellation and claims conditions) and related documents.
4.8 Following a binding order of services, ASIANA shall issue and send to the Customer a Voucher for the tourism services ordered, the presentation of which is required for using the service concerned or other related services.
4.9 Any and all proposals for a change or cancellation of services ordered, if this is permitted by the Provider’s terms and conditions, shall be submitted by the Customer directly to the Provider of the service ordered or, if the Provider’s terms and conditions permit, through ASIANA.
4.10 The Customer may submit a claim concerning brokered services through ASIANA, but he understands that ASIANA is not entitled to handle or recognise claims pertaining to accommodation or to other or related services on behalf of the Service Provider. A claim with respect to a defect that may be immediately remedied must be submitted without undue delay to an authorised person providing services directly on the spot, unless the Provider’s claim conditions state otherwise.
4.11 If the Customer submits a claim through ASIANA, ASIANA shall hand the claim over to the Service Provider for processing and shall keep the Customer informed about the process and outcome of the handling of the claim. The Customer understands that, in that case, he shall not have any rights with respect to ASIANA, which is only providing assistance to him in the claims process. Furthermore, the Customer understands that even if a claim is submitted to the Provider through ASIANA, the claim falls exclusively within the sphere of competence of the Service Provider, and ASIANA cannot in any way influence the duration of the handling of the claim or its outcome.
4.12 ASIANA may only provide compensation in line with the applicable terms and conditions of the Provider.
4.13 ASIANA shall be liable only for complying with its obligations related to making binding arrangements for the service, i.e., in particular for:
(a) duly and timely informing the Service Provider that an order has been placed and the service subsequently ordered in a binding manner;
(b) duly and timely arranging for a confirmation of the order by the Service Provider, if so required by the Provider’s Terms and Conditions;
(c) duly and timely issuing a Voucher for Services;
(d) duly providing the documents required to the Customer;
(e) duly announcing any changes or cancellation to the Service Provider as well as to the Customer, on the business day after ASIANA is informed of such a change in writing;
(f) duly and timely remitting the price of services and related services to the Provider’s account.
4.14 The Customer understands that ASIANA is not obliged to examine whether a change has occurred in a booking or in the conditions of the services ordered or of other or related services, and inform the Customer thereof prior to the payment of the price of services, in part or in full, even in the event of the issuance of a Voucher for the use thereof.
4.15 Following the payment of the price of the services ordered or related services, the Customer shall inform ASIANA in writing about his current contact details (and any change thereof) such that he may be notified of any change in the services. If any of the contact details provided in writing are not current, ASIANA shall not be liable for any damage incurred by the Customer due to a failure to deliver a notice of changes.
4.16 The Customer shall be responsible for ensuring, among other things:
(a) the data submitted by him is correct;
(b) timely payment for the services ordered;
(c) presenting himself in a timely manner for accommodation or the commencement of the use of a brokered service.
4.17 The Customer shall:
(a) with sufficient advance notice before accepting accommodation or using another service ordered, check, for himself and for all other persons travelling with him that their travel documents are valid, as well as check the conditions for entering all other destination and transit countries that will be visited while using the service ordered, in particular, entry formalities and visa requirements. The Customer understands that neither ASIANA nor the Provider shall be liable for any damage incurred due to denial of entry to the Customer or other persons travelling with him to a destination or transit country, or a refusal to accept such persons for check in for carriage to such a destination.
(b) Ensure for himself and persons travelling with him the stay and transit visas required.
(c) Ensure that both the Customer and other persons travelling with him comply with the medical or other requirements needed for travelling to, or for stays, in all destination or transit countries.

4.18 The Customer understands and agrees that cancellation of the service shall be governed by the Provider’s terms and conditions, unless otherwise stated, and the period stated therein for a refund of the price paid through ASIANA, or a portion thereof, shall be extended by 21 days, during which ASIANA undertakes to pay the relevant sum to the Customer. ASIANA shall be entitled to charge a service fee, which it may retain even if the service is refunded.
5. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND CONDITIONS FOR ARRANGING AN AUTHORISATION TO STAY (VISA)
5.1 When travelling abroad, each Customer is obliged to carry a valid passport or a personal identity card for travel within the Schengen Area. Each Customer shall check important information related to entering the selected destination or any countries through which they pass in the case of ground transport. Visa formalities must be arranged by the Customer himself prior to travel. Neither ASIANA nor the TO shall be liable for the non-granting of any visa.
5.2 The Customer understands that various destinations may apply different requirements as to the minimum term of validity of a passport (again expressed as the number of months after returning from the destination). Most destinations apply a minimum term of six (6) months. For further details, see the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic (hereinafter referred to as MFA CS) or embassies of individual countries. Prior to ordering a Package Tour, the Customer should also check with the relevant embassies about visa, security, and other conditions required for entering and staying in a country, including the current situation at the destination.
5.3 In the event of a loss of travel documents abroad, and to allow for simpler arrangement of substitute documents, we recommend that Customers travel with several copies of their travel documents or have such copies saved in their e-mail or some other place. Such copies can simplify the resolution of many situations, such as, in particular, the loss or theft of documents, or when a hotel asks to keep a passport at the reception desk overnight. According to information provided by the MFA CS, hotels are not entitled to withhold Customer’s passports, albeit for a single day, although it is common practice. Hotels can make photocopies of or scan travel documents and should return a Customer’s passport immediately. In the event of a loss of a travel document abroad, a Czech citizen should report the loss or theft of his travel document to local police and ask it them issue a certificate of the report. Subsequently, he should report the loss to an embassy or consulate of the Czech Republic (hereinafter referred to as “CZ Emb.”). If required, a Customer may approach the relevant embassy or consulate of the Czech Republic with a request for assistance. A list of embassies and consulates is available at the website of the MFA, in the chapter “Countries of the World – Travel Information”, in the folder “Czech Embassies to Contact”. If a citizen of the Czech Republic urgently needs a travel document, he can request the issuance of a travel document (substitute travel document) at a CZ EMB; substitute travel documents are issued by CZ EMBs as soon as possible after the conditions for its issue are met. A substitute travel document constitutes a travel document for a single trip with its territorial and temporal application restricted to the purpose of the trip, in particular to enable the Customer to return to the Czech Republic.
5.4 The Customer shall receive any other required documents arranged by ASIANA or the relevant TO, such as vouchers, airline tickets, etc., from ASIANA or the relevant TO. Unless otherwise agreed, these documents are usually sent out 7 days prior departure or may be provided to the Customer at the point of departure. In the event of a flight with an airline that does not require even electronic tickets, or of accommodation at an accommodation facility that does not require electronic vouchers, the Customer shall show his travel document or citizen’s identification card at an airport or accommodation facility.
5.5 ASIANA offers to take care of its Customers’ visa arrangements for them for a fee, based on the Customer’s order placed at the Customer’s choice, either by telephone, e-mail, or in person at any ASIANA outlet.
5.6 In his order, the Customer shall specify, in particular, personal details of the persons for whom the visa are to be arranged (including the country of their citizenship), the complete formal name of the country whose visa the Customer requires, the type of visa required, and the required dates and duration of the visa. Following the receipt of an order, ASIANA shall send an order confirmation to the Customer, stating information about the visa arrangements ordered, the documents required for making visa arrangements successfully, the amount of the administrative fee for the visa arrangements, and ASIANA’s fee.
5.7 An agreement is concluded upon the payment of a fee to ASIANA and an administrative fee for visa arrangements. By concluding an agreement, the Customer confirms that ASIANA has provided to him all information known/available, including the expected duration of visa application processing. The payment of a fee and administrative fee shall mean, depending on the form of payment, the day on which cash is received, the day of card payment, or the day when the payment is credited to ASIANA’s account, in line with paragraph 1.10 of these GBTC.
5.8 Should the Customer decide, after a visa application has been submitted, to withdraw that application, or to terminate his agreement with ASIANA prior to the issuance of the visa, ASIANA shall be entitled to the payment of a proportionate amount of its fee for the steps already taken, but no less than 50% of the fee. The Customer understands that after the submission of a visa application, the administrative fee is not subject to a refund, even if the Customer does not withdraw his application but the visa is not issued.
5.9 Following the conclusion of the agreement, the Customer shall, without undue delay, provide to ASIANA any and all documents required for the arranging of the visa. Until such time as it receives those documents, ASIANA shall not be obliged to take any steps aimed at arranging the visa. The Customer understands that the relevant embassy or consulate may, during the visa proceedings, require the submission of additional documents, of which ASIANA will inform the Customer, and the Customer shall provide ASIANA with all such other documents immediately.
5.10 The Customer shall:
(a) Inform ASIANA truthfully and completely about any and all facts and information decisive for the issuance of a visa;
(b) Provide ASIANA with any and all cooperation required for the arrangement of a visa;
(c) If the arrangement of a visa requires a power of attorney, grant and deliver it to ASIANA in a timely manner.

(b) At the Customer’s request, inform him about the state of the visa arrangement process;
(c) Act in accordance with its abilities and knowledge and to diverge from the Customer’s instructions only if it is in the Customer’s interest and if ASIANA cannot obtain the Customer’s consent in a timely fashion;
(d) Collect the visa once issued, at the date and time stated by the relevant embassy, and deliver it to the Customer without undue delay, together with any documents that the embassy or consulate returns, in particular, the passport with the visa granted, or arrange with the Customer a different manner by which he may collect the visa and relevant documents, if they are returned with the travel document and the visa by the relevant embassy.
5.12 The Customer understands that:
(a) ASIANA shall not be liable for a failure to issue a visa due to any of information or documents being incorrect or due to a failure to provide the requisite cooperation or grant the required power of attorney in a due and timely manner.
(b) ASIANA shall not be liable for an extension of the period during which the issuance of the visa is expected;
(c) ASIANA shall not be liable for a failure to grant the visa if it was caused by a circumstance that was beyond ASIANA’s control (e.g., administrative discretion of the embassy or consulate).
(d) An embassy or consulate may ask the Customer to visit it in person or to present any other documents not stated in the original conditions for the visa granting process.
(e) ASIANA shall not be liable for the correctness of any information pertaining to visa obligations. The Customer shall verify such information at his expense and responsibility with the relevant embassy or consulate;
5.13 ASIANA may terminate the agreement with immediate effect if the relationship of trust between the Customer and ASIANA is breached. In that case, the agreement shall terminate once ASIANA informs the Customer about its termination. Even after the termination of the agreement, ASIANA shall execute any steps that do not bear postponing, in order to prevent the Customer from sustaining harm. After the termination of the agreement, ASIANA shall hand over to the Customer any and all documents that it has received from him for the purpose of the arrangement of the visa and that it still holds. ASIANA may retain an appropriate portion of the fee, to correspond to the steps already taken.
5.14 The Customer may lodge a claim with respect to ASIANA’s visa brokerage services with ASIANA (we recommend it be lodged in writing). A claim may be lodged within the statutory period, i.e., 30 days from the visa being granted/not being granted. Claims can be lodged by e-mail at info@letuska.cz.
