Availability before this time must always be confirmed with a member of staff at the relevant local office.

  4. The Client is required to sign the rental agreement through the Click & Stay Guest Portal no later than on the check-in date, regardless of how the booking was made or which distribution channel was used. In exceptional cases, the Client may sign the rental agreement at the local office during its opening hours on the check-in date, subject to prior contact.

A Client who makes more than one booking for the same or similar dates undertakes to allow a Sun & Snow representative to verify the details shown on their identity document against the details provided in the rental agreement when signing the registration card through the Click & Stay Guest Portal. The Sun & Snow representative will inspect the identity document on the Client’s check-in date. If the Client arrives outside the local office opening hours, a Sun & Snow employee will verify the Client’s identity document on the following day of the stay, arranging a convenient time to visit the apartment with the Client.
  6. To secure any potential claims for damages, Sun & Snow has the right to collect a security deposit of PLN 300 from the Client no later than on the date on which the Client signs the rental agreement. The security deposit is collected by electronic payment through card pre-authorisation in the Click & Stay Guest Portal. In exceptional circumstances, the Client may pay the security deposit in cash at the local office no later than on the check-in date, taking the local office opening hours into account. The security deposit is interest-free and will be refunded after the Client’s stay. Sun & Snow reserves the right to inspect the apartment within a maximum of 5 days after the Tenant’s departure.

If damage is caused to the apartment during the Client’s stay and cannot be repaired immediately, resulting in the need to suspend the sale of the premises or cancel bookings beginning directly after the Client’s stay, the Client undertakes to compensate Sun & Snow for losses associated with the resulting loss of financial benefit. The Client will be informed immediately by a Sun & Snow representative of the amount of the lost benefit. Payment of the amount associated with the lost benefit does not release the Client from the obligation to cover the cost of damage caused while using the apartment. Sun & Snow reserves the right to deduct the amount associated with the lost benefit from the security deposit paid by the Client by retaining the deposit and/or charging the Client’s credit card.
  10. The stay ends by 11:00 a.m. on the final day of the booked period. By 11:00 a.m., or another time agreed with Sun & Snow, the Client is required to vacate the apartment.

  13. A list of the Apartment’s furnishings is displayed in a visible location in the Apartment. The Tenant is required to report any missing items, faults or inconvenience to a Sun & Snow employee within 2 hours of checking in to the Apartment. Failure to report any missing items constitutes confirmation by the Tenant that the furnishings are complete and in good condition. If damage caused during the stay as a result of improper use of the Apartment is identified, the full cost of repairing the damage will be covered by the Tenant through Sun & Snow retaining part or all of the security deposit and/or charging the Tenant’s credit card. If the repair cost exceeds the amount of the security deposit collected, the Tenant undertakes to pay the difference. The repair cost will be estimated based on market prices.
  14. Smoking in the apartments is prohibited. A Client who fails to comply with this prohibition may be charged a fee of PLN 500, corresponding to the cost of cleaning the curtains and bedspreads in the apartment.

This amount covers the cost of purchasing a SAIK Lock Insert and replacing the lock. Returning only the key or only the SAIK Lock Insert to the key locker does not reduce the amount of the penalty. In the event of any uncertainty or if assistance is required in connection with the use of the equipment described in this point or the terminology used in this point, the Client should contact a member of staff at the local office.
  19. The Client undertakes to leave the Ski Pass card, which provides access to the ski slopes at Czarna Góra Resort, in the apartment on the check-out date.

  20. Calling out Sun & Snow employees or cooperating personnel outside the local office opening hours in situations that do not pose a threat to the Guest’s life or health, are not connected with a serious fault occurring in the apartment during the stay and are not attributable to Sun & Snow will result in a penalty of PLN 150 being imposed on the Client and deducted from the security deposit paid by the Client.
