4. Making a booking

When making a booking for accommodation, the CLIENT should enter specific data in the electronic booking system. The bookings may require additional information about the tourist(s) and the selected services. All personal information that is entered in the booking forms is used only and solely for the need to carry out the booking. When filling in the requested information (personal data, period of stay, location of accommodation, number of guests), the booking system generates information about the booking including the provision of food as well as the opportunity for a comment regarding the GUEST’s special requirements. The GUEST’s special requirements may be entered in the “comments” field. The GUEST’s requests are fulfilled as per the hotel-keeper’s abilities.

The booking is deemed complete after pressing the “Book” button and receiving a confirmation in the booking system that the booking is registered under a unique number. In the event of a successful booking, the system generates an automatic confirmation for the booking with the possibility to be downloaded as well as containing information mandatory under the Tourism Act. In case that due to technical reasons these documents fail to be generated, please contact us and we will immediately forward them to you email: primorsko@albena.bg

5. Booking confirmation

The prices are to be paid in leva no later than the time limit stipulated in the reservation and the payment is deemed to have been made when the amount is in PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC’s bank account. The failure to pay within the specified time limit can be treated by PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC as cancellation on the part of the guest in which case Section 8.1 of these General Terms and Conditions shall apply and at PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC’s discretion the booking may be deleted or unilaterally cancelled by us. Services not paid within the time limit do not give rise to obligations on the part of PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC.

The information related to them should be entered by the client in the “Comments” field when making the booking. Children aged between 2 to 11.99 years are entitled to special discounts. In order to use these discounts, it is necessary at the time of booking to indicate the number of children and the system will automatically calculate the price of booking.

In the event of incorrect information, when checking in the GUEST pays the difference up to the full value of the booking on the basis of reception desk rates.

TO THE BENEFIT OF:  PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC

In the case of any payment not using the bank transfer method, the transaction is processed by payment institutions and PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC does not receive any data regarding your credit or debit cards. When paying with a bank card, the GUEST must enter into the payment form complete data regarding the bank card with which the payment will be made – card number, expiration date, CVC/CVV security code, personal secret password for 3D identification. By providing the needed data, the GUEST or a third-party payer identifies him/herself, confirms the payment amount and orders the card account to be debited with the payment amount and to be transferred to PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC’s account. The client may not dispute a payment confirmed by entering a specific identification password (CVC/CVV security code, personal secret password for 3D identification or another identification password / code) or a payment confirmed by entering a 6-digit code to access the mobile application.

In the event of payments through PayPal or other similar payment systems or payments via a bank or with cards, PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC is not liable for any expenses concerning fees, commissions or other additional payments made by the client because of the transaction, as well as in the event of currency exchanges, as applied by the bank that has issued the client’s card in the cases in which the currency is different from Bulgarian leva (BGN).

Card payments on the website are treated as international payments by the banks in Bulgaria and according to their rules for work with cards and card payments for such types of transactions some banks charge additional fees. The expenses associated with such payments are borne solely by the client. Therefore, PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC recommends to its clients to check with their bank regarding eventual additional fees that the clients could be charged with when paying online or those for a bank transfer for services offered on the site.

PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC, after receiving the payment, issues an invoice for the service to the person indicated by the client / guest. With several payment instalments, a separate invoice is issued for each payment.

7. Promotions – Rebates, Discounts and Package Prices

PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC reserves the right to announce promotional prices. The promotional offers are valid only for newly booking guests, under the respective conditions, and may not be a reason for a demand on the part of the GUEST to reduce the price or a justification for claims. In the cases when PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC’s site features special offers (lower prices) for a specific hotel and period, the amounts paid are not refundable. Before you book, please check carefully the terms of the offer.

8. Prepaying booking

In order to guarantee a specific booking, the GUEST or the client should prepay a certain part of the total booking amount or the entire amount. The absence of a prepayment does not give rise to an obligation on the part of PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC whereas this does not exempt the GUEST from paying the amount due and adhering to these terms and conditions. PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC reserves the right to demand payment, legal interest as well as penalty payments whenever applicable.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of booking, the guest should pay in advance a deposit equal to 20% (twenty per cent) of the total amount of the booking within a 30-day period from the confirmation of the booking. The remainder of the sum due shall be paid no later than the day of arriving and by all means before the GUEST checks in on site at the Forest Beach Natural Holiday Resort. In case of last-minute bookings for proximate arrivals (fewer than 30 days between the booking date and the arrival date), the amount due on the booking shall be paid no later than the day before the arrival and by all means before the guest checks in whereas PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC does not guarantee fully or partially un-prepaid bookings. In the event of non-payment, the booking shall be automatically cancelled. Prepayment equal to 100% (hundred per cent) may be demanded for promotional offers as well as for last-minute bookings with this being explicitly pointed out while and after making the booking.

If the GUEST did not pay or did not adhere to the payment deadlines, PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC has the right, without the consent of the client, to cancel unilaterally the booking as well as to assume that the client cancelled the booking. In this case, PRIMORSKO CLUB PLC is not accountable to the GUEST and / or the client and shall not owe indemnities or penalties.
