Once the client has chosen the preferred accommodation the client can make an official request for the reservation.
The request for the reservation is done by filling in a simple form available on the web site viaSlovenia.com, or directly at the viaSlovenia.com office or at any other partner agencies of the viaSlovenia.com appointed to sell the services of the viaSlovenia.com. During the application process the client has to provide all the necessary information required in the application form when filling in the online application, i.e. the client has to submit all the required documents if the client is making a reservation of a unit at the agency personally or at any other partner agency appointed to sell the services of the viaSlovenia.com.
The client voluntarily passes his/her personal information. Personal information is necessary for the realization of the reservation and will be used for further communication with the client. viaSlovenia.com is obliged not to provide the personal information of the client to a third party, except for the purpose of realization of the reservation.
In case of payment for the services by credit card or by other virtual payment system (PayPal), viaSlovenia.com does not hold any information regarding the payment (credit card number, etc.). All transactions are performed on secure bank sites or service provider.
The client allows viaSlovenia.com to use his/her personal information for the purpose of marketing.
The payment can be made by bank transfer (the client bears the bank charges) or by credit card (the agency bears the bank charges). The client who is required to have a visa before entering the country cannot make the payment by credit card.

The client must make the payment of 30%-40% of the total reservation amount to confirm the reservation.
The remaining amount can be paid by the client in the following ways:
In specific cases (for instance, when the total reservation amount does not exceed 300 Euros or the client is a person required to have a visa before entering the country) it is necessary to make the whole payment (100 %) to confirm the reservation.
If the client is under obligation to pay the total amount of reservation to viaSlovenia.com (in cases when it is not possible to pay the rest of the amount directly to the owner of the accommodation or at the Agency, and when booking hotel accommodation) and there are less than 7 days till the beginning of the booked period, the client is obligated to pay 100% of total reservation amount upon booking confirmation.
The client will be informed of the exact amount of the deposit payment and the payment method when receiving the pre-invoice.
In case the transferred amount is not received on the bank account of the Agency prior to the arrival of the client, the client is obligated to send the Agency a statement of the bank transaction made (SWIFT).

When the required documents are received, the Agency will send the voucher to the client.
By making the payment of the reservation the client certifies that he/she is completely familiarized with all the details and conditions under which the reservation of the accommodation service is provided. By making the payment all the conditions and terms specified in this contract become legal obligation for both the client and viaSlovenia.com.

Additional services are services that are provided in the accommodation facility but are not included in the rental price (such as food service, use of the washing machine, boat rentals, boat quay, etc.). The client pays for them additionally and only if he/she uses those services. If viaSlovenia.com is in the possession of the service price list, it will be published on the Agency website. In case viaSlovenia.com is not in the possession of service prices, the prices are then agreed on directly with the service provider. Most of the additional services must be paid directly to the service provider, but some can be paid upon booking confirmation.
While most services are optional, there are some mandatory services (e.g. final cleaning of the accommodation after departure, guest registration, in some cases special transportation to the accommodation facility, guest check-in etc.).
The availability of the accommodation may depend on additional services (such as special diet, keeping pets, use of additional beds, etc.), and since the additional services may not always be available (e.g. boat rental, use of the Internet, etc.), the client is obliged to report preferred additional services when making the reservation.
In rare cases the client will have to pay a cash deposit directly to the service provider on the arrival at the accommodation unit. This deposit is a guarantee for the service provider that the client will not cause any damage to the accommodation unit or its contents. On the day of departure the entire deposit amount will be refunded to the client in case the service provider agrees the accommodation unit is in such state as it was before.
The client will be informed about all the mandatory payments, the exact prices for the desired services and possible cash deposits, as well as the payment methods, upon receiving the pre-invoice.
viaSlovenia.com reserves the right to change the prices on the website viaSlovenia.com in case that the service provider changes the prices of the accommodation and/or of the additional services. If the price of a certain accommodation unit changes after the client has applied for it and before the deposit payment, viaSlovenia.com is under obligation to inform the client of the change and send the client another calculation upon the client’s approval.
In case that the price changes after the deposit payment has been made, viaSlovenia.com guarantees that the rest of the amount will be paid according to the calculation based on the initial price of the accommodation unit. In case that viaSlovenia.com or the service provider reduces the price of the accommodation after the client has confirmed the reservation, the client is not entitled to a new, lower price.
The contracting parties agree that viaSlovenia.com reserves the right to increase the prices before the use of the service in case that the currency exchange rate has increased more than 5 %, or in case of the price increase of other expenses affecting the total price of the service, of which viaSlovenia.com did not know and could not have known. The client reserves the right to cancel the reservation if the increase of the agreed price is more than 10 %. In this case the client can claim a refund of the amount paid until that point but is not entitled to any additional compensation. The refund will be paid to the client's bank account, the bank charges being borne by the agency.
All prices published on the website have an informative character and vary according to the minimum stay. The client receives the exact calculation upon the inquiry.

If the Agency determines that the complaint is not valid, it will not undertake any actions to resolve the complaint. The client has a possibility to accept the decision and remain in the reserved accommodation unit on the previously defined terms and conditions, or request an alternative accommodation from the Agency in which case the client is under obligation to pay the full amount of the accommodation directly to the service provider. By deciding to remain in the reserved accommodation unit the client waives the right to claim a refund of the paid amount of money. If the client does not accept the decision of the Agency and wants to claim a refund of the paid amount of money, the client is not entitled to remain in the reserved accommodation.

If the client does not obey this regulation and thus breaches the procedure, the Agency reserves the right to claim compensation of damage caused by such an action on the client's side regardless of the grounds of the complaint.
If the client is not satisfied with the current provided service and therefore decides to leave the accommodation unit and individually finds an alternative accommodation without informing the Agency or without waiting for the complaint to be resolved or an alternative accommodation to be provided within the settled period of eight hours the client is not entitled to a refund of the amount paid or to claim compensation, regardless of the validity of the complaint.
