GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF COOPERATION

Services of the PROVIDER

The PROVIDER shall provide to the CUSTOMER the services listed in Annex 1 of the Agreement (hereinafter the «Services»). The use of any additional or customised support services will be charged extra and subject to the PROVIDER's pricing policy.
The PROVIDER shall be obliged to provide its Services to the CUSTOMER in an appropriate manner.
In order for the PROVIDER to provide the Services, it is necessary to install and configure as well as train the CUSTOMER to use the Services. However, the PROVIDER may not provide such installation and configuration services as well as training to use the Services, which are outside the scope of its services and those services will be provided to the CUSTOMER by third parties independent of the PROVIDER. In such cases, the PROVIDER may recommend to the CUSTOMER independent companies to provide such services, but shall not be liable for any failure of such third parties to provide the above services or for any failure of a third party chosen by the CUSTOMER.
The PROVIDER shall make every effort to ensure that the CUSTOMER has uninterrupted access to the software or/and the applications, relating to the provision of the Services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to enter or change the data regarding its accommodations. The PROVIDER does not, however, guarantee the uninterrupted and flawless operation of the software or/and the applications, relating to the provision of the Services, since issues may arise from factors beyond its control, such as the World Wide Web, telephone lines, emergencies, etc.
The data concerning reservations at the accommodation(s) of the CUSTOMER are highly confidential and under no circumstances should they be disclosed to third parties or used by the PROVIDER for own benefit, even after the termination of their cooperation.
In case the CUSTOMER requests the PROVIDER to include, in the Services, data entry services which concern exclusively the CUSTOMER (indicatively and not limited to i.e. accommodation data, pricing policy, availability, contracts, media etc.), the entry of such data into the booking system is not an obligation of the PROVIDER, nor is it part of the service provided by the PROVIDER, as detailed in the Agreement and is provided solely under the responsibility of the CUSTOMER, and takes place solely for its facilitation. Therefore, for any inaccuracy or error concerning such data, the PROVIDER shall not be liable in any way whatsoever.
The PROVIDER may recommend third party companies to the CUSTOMER for the provision of support services in relation to the Services ("Support Services - SUPPORT"). The use of the support services is also subject to the service hours announced by the PROVIDER on the support page and via the address "support@webhotelier.net". The use of the Support Services is subject to the pricing policy of the PROVIDER.
