The Supplier, not the Intermediary, delivers the service to the Customer and is responsible for its delivery and content. The Supplier provides the Service to the Customer under its own responsibility, at its own expense and on its own behalf.
  3. The Interested Party makes the selection of the Tasting in the manner indicated on the Portal. Before submitting the order, the Interested Party will be asked by the Portal to confirm by ticking the box that he/she has read these GTC, has read them, understands their content and agrees to them in their entirety.
  4. If the Tasting Contract is concluded via the Portal, the Tasting Contract is concluded only after the Interested Party has consented by confirming the designated field marked "I agree to the purchase of the Tasting Reservation on the above terms and conditions with the obligation to pay", by which he/she agrees to all the previously displayed data, in particular the place and time of the Tasting, the Fee, the method of payment, or other additional services, if applicable.
  5. After sending the order, the Intermediary is obliged to confirm the delivery of the order within 24 hours and to send a confirmation e-mail to the Customer at the address provided by the Customer. The delivery of the order confirmation does not create a contractual relationship between the Applicant and the Supplier.

By paying the Fee, by purchasing a Tasting Venue Reservation through the Portal, the Tasting Venue Reservation Customer enters into a legal relationship directly with the specific Supplier of the selected Tasting Venue.
  7. The Supplier is responsible for changes to the Tasting. The Facilitator accepts no responsibility for the Tastings, changes during the sale of the Tasting Reservation and any changes in the organisation of the Tastings.

The Customer will receive all further information regarding the purchased Tasting Seat Reservation via the Portal to this email, based on the Supplier's instructions, unless the Customer requests the Facilitator to change the contact email.

As the Consideration is paid by the Customer prior to the Tasting, it may be considered as an advance payment without any other conditions.

In the event of a change or cancellation of the Tasting, the Facilitator will provide information on the method, place and time of refund by email or telephone.

  3. The Customer shall not be entitled to a refund of the Consideration if for any reason the Customer does not or is unable to attend the Tasting for reasons attributable to the Customer.

On the basis of the Customer's decision which of these rights the Customer claims, the Supplier is obliged to determine the method of handling the complaint as soon as possible, in complex cases no later than 3 working days from the date of the complaint, in justified cases, in particular if a complex technical assessment of the condition of the service is required, no later than 30 days from the date of the complaint.

The Supplier reserves the right to amend these GTC. In the event that this happens during the performance of the Tasting Contract, the Supplier is obliged to inform the Customer, who is a consumer, who has the right to withdraw from the Tasting Contract in such a case.

In the event of a conflict between the Tasting Contract and these GTC, the Tasting Contract shall prevail. In the event of a conflict between the Co-operation Agreement between the Supplier and the Intermediary and these GTC and the relationship between them, the Co-operation Agreement shall prevail.

Information on the processing of personal data

In connection with the operation of the Portal, it is required to provide personal data of the Applicant and the Customer, who are natural persons (hereinafter referred to as "Data Subjects") to the Supplier through the Intermediary.

On the basis of a special contract, the Supplier has entrusted the processing of the personal data of the Data Subjects to the Processor as a so-called Processor within the meaning of the Legislation.

The processing of the Data Subject's personal data does not require their consent, as the Supplier processes personal data for the purpose of concluding the Tasting Contract, and thus the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of the Tasting Contract to which the Data Subject is a party, as well as to carry out measures prior to the conclusion of the Tasting Contract at the Data Subject's request.

The purpose of the processing of the personal data of the data subjects is the provision of the service - Tastings by the Supplier to the Data Subjects.

The processed Personal Data shall be stored by the Supplier for the necessary period of time, up to a maximum of one year after the Tasting Contract has been concluded.

The data subject has the right to request from the Supplier access to Personal Data, the right to rectification or erasure or restriction of processing or the right to object to processing, as well as the right to portability of Personal Data.

For the provision of certain activities and/or operations that the Supplier is unable to provide through its own employees, the Supplier uses the services of other entities. For these purposes, the Personal Data processed is made available to marketing agencies, service and service provider organisations (system administration), Facebook platform providers (Facebook Ireland Ltd., located at 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Republic of Ireland) and Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

The Supplier does not intend to transfer Personal Data to a third country or international organisation.

If the data subject suspects that his or her Personal Data is being processed unlawfully, he or she may file a complaint with the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic, located at Hraničná 12, 820 07 Bratislava, e-mail: statny.dozor@pdp.gov.sk.
