Regulations for renting and providing electronic services
These Rules and Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) define the conditions for making short rental bookings.
The rental offered by the Landlord is of a short-term nature and does not serve meeting the Tenant’s permanent housing needs.
The conditions for providing services by electronic means, including the technical requirements necessary for the cooperation with the ICT system used by the service provider, have been included in the privacy policy available on the website: mierzeja.flatbook.pl/en/gdpr.
The privacy policy constitutes an integral part of these Regulations.

The subject of rental are entire apartments owned by or possessed by the Landlord, regardless of the number of people to reside in the apartment.
Bookings are made via Internet domains and by phone.
Prior to making a booking, the Tenant is obliged to familiarise themselves with the rental regulations which are available here: mierzeja.flatbook.pl/en/regulations. Making a booking by electronic means is tantamount to accepting these regulations and the rental contract is deemed to have been concluded.
The reservation also requires a reservation fee, depending on the selected pricing plan. For the flexible plan, it is 30% of the rental price, while for the partially refundable and non-refundable plans, it is 100% of the rental price. The reservation fee must be paid within 48 hours of receiving the reservation confirmation email. If the reservation is made within 5 days before the start of the stay, a payment of 100% of the rental price is required on the day of booking. A deposit or the full amount of the rental fee should be transferred to the bank account or payment link provided in the reservation confirmation email.
The remaining amount for the rental should be paid to the bank account or the payment link provided in the e-mail confirming the reservation. The payment should be made no later than 3 days before the start of the stay.
Having accepted the booking is confirmed per e-mail sent to the address of the Tenant indicated in the booking or via the internal messaging system of Booking.com or any other booking portal.
Payments due for the booking and renting the apartment (hereinafter referred to as the booking fee) can be made: • by credit card, • by a quick online transfer, • by the so-called Blik code, • using PayPal, Przelewy24 and Tpay in accordance with the regulations of these service providers.

If the Tenant fails to pay the full amount due or to make the advance payment within 48 hours of the e-mail confirmation of the booking sent by the Landlord, the rental contract is not concluded.
The prices given are gross prices for natural persons and include 8% VAT.
The Tenant may have an invoice issued for their stay in the apartment. Should they wish to receive one, they are obliged to inform the Landlord about it when making the booking.
In case of cancellation: • For the flexible pricing plan, if canceled up to 5 days before the arrival date, the reservation fee is non-refundable. Cancellation within this period results in the loss of the entire amount paid. • For the partially refundable pricing plan, if canceled up to 1 day before the arrival date, the reservation fee is non-refundable. If canceled earlier, a 50% refund of the rental price is applicable. • For the non-refundable pricing plan, the reservation fee is non-refundable. Cancellation results in the loss of the entire amount paid.
If the Tenant cancels their booking during the contractual period, the Landlord does not refund the payments for the remaining hotel days.
The complaining procedure concerning your booking, payment or lack of booking requires filing a complaint in electronic form (e-mail) sent to the following address: reklamacje@flatbook.pl. The complaint will be considered within 14 days.
The Landlord may charge the Customer a returnable deposit to secure possible damage to the premises. The deposit will be refunded up to 14 days after the end of the stay. Information on the amount of the returnable deposit is provided in the stay offer and during the booking process. The returnable deposit is charged by bank transfer or by debiting the Customer’s credit card. If you choose to charge your credit card, Flatbook issues a confirmation of authorization.
STAY
The rental period is calculated in days. The minimal booking period, and thereby also the minimal contractual period, is one hotel day.
The hotel day begins at 4:00 pm and ends at 10:00 am.
If you fail to leave the apartment by 10:00 am, and it has not been previously agreed upon with the Landlord, it shall be tantamount to extending your stay. After 10:00 am, an additional fee amounting to PLN 150 for every started 30 minutes shall be charged, and the Tenant is obliged to settle the accounts therefor at the check-out.
Extending the stay is only possible if the Landlord consents thereto. If you wish to stay longer, please contact the Landlord in person, by telephone or per e-mail at the latest at 9:00 am on your original day of departure.
Granting the wish depends on the current availability of the given apartment. The Landlord has the right to reject the wish without having to name the reason.
Accepting the Conditions for extending the stay is tantamount to being obliged to settle the accounts due for the extension period.
The Landlord may refuse to make their apartment available to the Tenant if: • the Tenant does not have fund to pay for the stay in the apartment, • the Tenant is under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicants, • the Tenant behaves in an aggressive manner, • during their previous stay, the Tenant grossly infringed the Regulations or the Contract.
Instead of the originally booked apartment, the Landlord may offer one of a similar or higher standard at the same price.
LIABILITY
The Landlord provides the Tenant with conditions for a full and unrestrained stay in the apartment.
The Tenant may use the apartment for the purpose of a short-term rental only and may not hand it over to third parties.
Only as many persons as have been reported at the booking may stay in the apartment.

These items shall be then disposed of at the expense and under the responsibility of the Tenant.
