    5. If individual provisions of the Contract are declared invalid, the remaining provisions of the Contract shall be valid and remain in force unless the circumstances indicate that without the invalid provisions the Contract would not have been concluded. The invalid provisions will be replaced by the provisions agreed upon by the Parties, or in the absence of an agreement by the Parties, by the generally applicable provisions of law that best reflect the original will and intent of the Parties.
    6. The Terms and Conditions shall constitute an appendix to the Contract.  
    7. The Annexes to the Contract are an integral part of the Contract. The Annexes are:
      1. Terms of Service for SmartHotel System Partners;
    If the provisions of the Contract conflict with the provisions of the Terms of Service, the provisions of the Contract shall prevail.

XXII. Complaints

Complaints regarding the Services should be submitted by email to: [email protected].

SmartHotel will consider the complaint within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of its receipt. The response to the complaint will be sent to the email address of the Partner submitting the complaint indicated during Registration.

In order to consider the complaint, the Partner may be asked by an employee of SmartHotel to provide additional data necessary for its proper identification, including e-mail address; first and last name; telephone number.

XXIII. Closure of properties due to the decision of state authorities

  1. Only in the case of extraordinary circumstances involving, among other things, the complete (100%) closure of hotels/apartments/accommodation properties as a result of legal decisions of the relevant state authorities, SmartHotel may decide, at the duly substantiated request of the Partner submitted at least in documentary form, to suspend or reduce the Contract Fees for a maximum of two months depending on the selected Plan.
  2. SmartHotel will inform the Partner of the granting or refusal of the Partner’s request in at least documentary form – no later than within 7 days of receipt of the request. The granting of the Partner’s request is equivalent to the Partner’s exemption from paying the fees under the Contract during the indicated period, and the Partner is not obliged to overpay them later. This change does not constitute an amendment to the Contract and does not require an annex, and in order to be effective, it requires at least a documentary form. The granting of the Partner’s request is tantamount to releasing the Partner from paying the fees under the Contract during the indicated period, and the Partner is not obliged to overpay them later. This change does not constitute an amendment to the Contract and does not require an annex, and in order to be effective, it requires at least a documentary form. After the expiration of the period of suspension or reduction, without the need for additional declarations of intent, the Contract as it was in effect before the suspension/reduction is restored.
  3. Exceeding by the Partner the deadlines for suspension/reduction of payments referred to above causes suspension of the SmartHotel System and gives SmartHotel the right to terminate the Contract immediately without any consequences for SmartHotel. Termination for its effectiveness requires at least a documentary form.
  4.  

XXIV. Rights of the Partner who is a consumer

  1. The Partner who is a consumer has the right to withdraw from the Contract without giving any reason and submit a statement of withdrawal from the Contract within 14 days from the end of the Registration.
  2. In order to comply with the deadline for withdrawal from the Contract, it is sufficient for the Partner who is a consumer to send by registered mail to the address of SmartHotel or by e-mail to [email protected] information on the exercise of the right of withdrawal.
  3. In the event of withdrawal from the Contract, SmartHotel shall immediately delete all data of the Partner from its information system and personal data file, unless otherwise provided by mandatory provisions of law or the Privacy Policy.
  4. For the avoidance of doubt, it is indicated that withdrawal from the Contract prevents the use of the Services. 
  5. Disputes with Partners who are consumers will be settled by common Polish courts of law according to their jurisdiction under the provisions of law. A Partner who is a consumer has the possibility to use an out-of-court procedure for handling complaints and pursuing claims before the Polish Permanent Consumer Arbitration Court at the Provincial Inspector of Trade Inspection in Warsaw, Poland. Information on how to access the aforementioned dispute resolution mode and procedures can be found at the following address: https://uokik.gov.pl, under the “Settlement of consumer disputes” tab.
