General Terms and Conditions of Travel a la Carte a.s.

The following general terms and conditions apply to all products and services directly or indirectly made available by us to our clients. ‘TAC’, ‘us’, ‘we’ and ‘our’ refer to Travel a la Carte a.s., a limited company incorporated and existing under the laws of the Czech Republic, having its registered office at Rybalkova 1433/14, Vinohrady, Prague 2, Czech Republic.

By accessing, browsing and using our website, mobile application or any of its components and features through whatever platform (collectively referred to as the ‘Platform’); and/or by completing an order, purchase, reservation and such of any products or services, you acknowledge and agree to have read, understood and agreed to all the terms, conditions and notices set forth below (collectively, the ‘Terms’) without modifications. These Terms apply also when contacting our customer support center. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not access our Platform or contact our customer support center.

1. Scope and nature of our Services

The Platform is a multifunctional search booking platform which provides our users with the personalized travel plans including services and products, which can be subsequently ordered, purchased, reserved or hired through our Platform. TAC does not provide, own or control any of the services and products that you can access through our Platform (collectively, the ‘Products’). All of these Products are owned, controlled or made available by third parties (collectively, the ‘Providers’) either directly or through facilitators. Every such Provider is responsible for its own products and services. By ordering, purchasing, reserving, hiring and such, you enter into a direct legally binding contractual relationship with the Provider with whom you made such operation as applicable. Provider’s terms and privacy policies apply to you, therefore you must agree to, and understand those terms. Your interaction with any Providers accessed through our Platform is at your own risk, and TAC does not have any responsibility should anything go wrong.

We act solely as an intermediary between you and the Providers. TAC has no control over the Providers. The relationships we have with the Providers are governed by separate terms and conditions.

TAC hosts content, including prices, images and service, product descriptions, made available by or obtained from Provides (the ‘Provider Content’), as well as content provided by users, such as comments, ratings and other information (the ‘User Content’) (collectively, the ‘Content’). The User Content is intended to serve only as a general guideline. We do not have any influence over the Content and we disclose the Content based on the information provided to us by the Providers.

Although we will use adequate reasoning and our best effort in performing our Platform, we are in no way responsible or liable for the accuracy, quality, completeness, correctness, reliability, timeliness or trustworthiness or the Content. Providers remain responsible at all times for the accuracy, quality, completeness, correctness, reliability, timeliness or trustworthiness of information about their Products (including, but not limited to descriptions, fees, prices, conditions and availability).

TAC does not guarantee that the prices reflected therein will be updated in real time or that a particular service or product will be available. As a result, the prices displayed by the Providers may not correspond to that displayed on our Platform.

2. Use of the Platform

You need to create a user account with us in order to access and fully use our Platform.
