The SS will not accept any orders under which parties directly or indirectly exclude the provisions of these GTC. These GTC are included in any contract, regardless of the form in which the contract is concluded (in writing, orally, via webpages or via e-mail), if the party to such contract is notified of this when concluding the contract on the relevant activity (by reference in the text of the contract, on an issued receipt for the paid activity, by a notice published in a visible place in the premises of JPK Klínovec, etc.).

1.4. If an activity is ordered for third parties (as in the case of a gift certificate, etc.), the ordering party is required to familiarise the relevant party in detail with the arrangements under these GTC and other instructions issued by the SS with regard to the activities .

3.2. The SS does not charge any fees for concluding contracts remotely via the webpage. 

3.3. The Customer proposes a contract on an activity via the webpage by selecting the requested activity, completing the required details, confirming the binding nature of these GTC, and submitting the order via the web interface.

Orders are only valid once a confirmation (acceptation) is received from the SS. The SS deems all data specified in an order to be correct.  

3.4. The services offered by the JPK Klínovec ski school are not a binding draft of a contract. After the Customer submits a completed online form and agrees to the GTC on the webpage, the JPK Klínovec ski school sends confirmation of having booked the instruction to the Customer and proposes a contract to be concluded. The contractual relationship between JPK Klínovec and the Customer is only established by sending this order confirmation. The order confirmation is provided as a receipt for claiming the booked service. The Customer is required to state the name under which the relevant order was issued in the business premises of the JPK Klínovec ski school.

The holder of a gift certificate is entitled to participate in the activities listed in the relevant certificate during this period.

The price paid covers any costs already incurred by the SS in connection with issuing the certificate, operating the customer centre, communication with external providers, etc.

3.7. The SS does not arrange the Customer’s transport to the location of the activity or their accommodation during the activity as part of the organised activities. The price of an activity does not include any ski/snowboard equipment or ski pass.

Any machines, equipment, tools, persons and surroundings may differ in reality.

4. Content of an online offer

5.3. The price agreed upon in the relevant contract on an activity is always binding for participants. The SS is entitled to change the pricelist at any time, but the change is without prejudice to any contracts concluded prior to such change.

6. Scope of services provided and complaint procedure

6.1. Ski and snowboard instruction takes place daily regardless of the weather under the leadership of certified instructors. 

6.2. If an instructor selected for a specific activity in advance is sick or absent for any other reason, the SS is entitled to replace such instructor with a different instructor having the same or similar qualification. 

6.3. The duration of a lesson is 50 minutes. Instruction is provided at the Customer’s own liability and risk and the Customer needs to consider for themselves whether they are fit and able to manage the selected activity safely. The seller recommends that Customers take out accident insurance prior to commencing the instruction. 

6.4. Prior to the start of the instruction, the Customer is obliged to inform the instructor truthfully about their ski and snowboard skills and experience, as well as any health problems that may affect the sporting activity. If the Customer finds out that they cannot continue in the relevant sporting activity due to their health or that continuing in the activity may jeopardise their health, they are obliged to inform the instructor and the SS about this immediately and terminate their participation in the activity without delay. 

6.5. The Customer is required to follow any instructions from a JPK Klínovec instructor precisely and consistently. A failure to respect instructions and warnings entitles JPK Klínovec instructors to terminate the contract immediately without any entitlement to compensation. JPK Klínovec will not be held responsible for any damage or additional costs incurred by the Customer due to this procedure. 

6.6. The ski or snowboard instruction service will be provided in a location and at the time agreed upon in advance. The SS may change the place of the activity or the conditions of providing the activity (provided that the key parameters of the activity are maintained). The SS is obliged to inform the Customer about any such change, without undue delay, by sending an e-mail message or in a different suitable manner.  

6.7. The Customer is required to report to the SS on the day of holding the activity at least 30 minutes before the start of the instruction. A failure to do so may result in the SS cancelling the relevant booking. 

6.8. If the Customer does not arrive in the arranged location at the agreed time, they will not be entitled to compensation for the service missed in this manner or any reimbursement of the price of the activity (or its proportionate part ). The price paid includes any costs incurred by the SS due to preparing the Customer’s participation in the activity and any other related costs. The instructor is obliged to wait for the Customer for up to 10 minutes after the agreed commencement of the service. 

6.9. After paying for the instruction, the Customer receives two identical payment receipts (hereinafter the receipt) stating the name of the instructor assigned to the Customer and any additional information, as required. The Customer is obliged to present the receipt to their assigned instructor before the start of their lesson. The Customer keeps the second receipt (this can be used to claim discounts from the price of any further instruction). The Customer is only entitled to participate in instruction at the time and with the parameters specified in the receipt. Any changes to the times or forms of instruction may only be made in the office of the JPK Klínovec ski school. Lost receipts must be reported immediately to the office of the ski school, where a copy of the receipt will be issued to the Customer.

6.10. If the ski school is unable to satisfy the demand for individual lessons due to its capacity, these lessons may be offered to the Customer at a different time or, for example, in the form of a group lesson. Group lessons are only held if at least 4 clients join the relevant group.  

6.11. If the required group does not have sufficient number of clients, the ski school may offer a different time for a group lesson or an individual lesson to the Customer. The ski school does not guarantee the same instructor for the duration of the instruction in the case of group lessons. Customers are assigned to groups according to their age and skill level. The “weakest member” of the group is considered in the case of group lessons. Combining persons of a different age and skill level in individual lessons for 2-3 is not appropriate. All clients receive free admission to the children’s ski park near the Max Klínovec bed and breakfast during their instruction.

 6.12. If a Customer fails to arrive for a group lesson within 10 minutes from the beginning of the lesson, they may not be admitted to the lesson in view of the instruction in progress and the methodical principles. 

6.13. The Customer or the Customer’s legal representative is responsible for the Customer havingsuitable clothing, equipment and health. 

6.14. In the case of any complaints about, objections to or problems with the instruction or its course, etc., the Customer is obliged to address these immediately in the office of the SS to allow the SS to respond promptly and adequately and resolve the situation to the satisfaction of both parties. The SS is unable to judge any subsequent complaints objectively and the Customer is therefore not entitled to any compensation in the case of late complaints.
