1. Rentals

Šibenik PLus acts as agent for the Owners of the holiday properties. We are authorized to contract rentals in the name and on behalf of Owners of properties offered (according to the Croatian VAT regulations, i.e. the Value Added Tax Act, article 10, paragraphs 3 and 4), at the prices defined for the current season.

Each property has been inspected by Šibenik Plus and we guarantee the authenticity and accuracy of all descriptions and photos at the moment of their creation. We are not responsible for possible divergences in cases where Owners subsequently modified their offer, without notifying the Agency.

If you book a holiday through us, once your holiday has been confirmed, we will accept responsibility for it in accordance with this Terms and conditions. If you have any queries, please contact us before making any booking for any service. Once you have made the deposit payment for the booking, it is deemed that you have read, understood and accepted the Terms and conditions for the booking. Rentals commence from 2.00 pm on the first day of the rental (check-in) and end at 10.00 am on the day of departure (check-out), unless otherwise notified.

3. Make a booking

To secure accommodation which matches your requirements in the best way, we suggest to book as early as possible, since Šibenik Plus becomes very busy at certain times of year.

You may also make a booking on someone else's behalf. In this case, you take full responsibility for ensuring that any customer in your booking complies with these Terms and conditions, just as if that customer had made the booking by himself. The booking is confirmed only after the advanced payment has been made. After receiving the total amount of the reservation, the Agency shall send an e-mail confirmation with details about the check-in. This confirmation is also a voucher for the private accommodation.

The Client undertakes to provide all required information in the booking process. These details will be used for contacting the user and for the realization of the services. They might become available only to the parties involved in the implementation of services (eg. the Owner, hotel or agent). Payment details, such as credit cards details and similar, are especially protected and accessible only to financial institutions in order to authorize the payment. 

In order to confirm the booking, the Customer is required to pay a deposit amounting to 30% of the total accommodation services, while the rest of 70% has to be paid no later than 14 days prior to arrival. In case of non-payment of the deposit in agreed time, the Agency reserves the right to cancel the booking request. 

4. Payment and costs

When you book your accommodation, you will have to pay a deposit upfront (30%) and the balance (70%) 14 days prior to arrival. A deposit of 30% of the total cost of your booking is required to secure your booking, whilst the booking becomes final only upon paying the rest of 70%. 

Optional services listed but not selected at the time of your booking will not be included in the final price. If later required, the Renter will have to pay for these separately, on the spot and in the currency of the destination country.

4.1 Additional charges

At the moment of the check-in, the Owner may demand the payment of a security deposit in order to cover possible damage. This deposit will be refunded if the accommodation unit and its inventory are returned clean and in good condition at the end of the stay. If this is not the case, the Owner reserves the right to cover the damage with the security deposit. Šibenik Plus is not responsible for possible controversies between the Client and the Owner concerning the deposit.

The accommodation facilities offered are described according to the official categorization of Croatia. All units comply with the categorization standards. The Agency inspected every accommodation unit and guarantees that all descriptions of the properties have been posted in good faith and are updated regularly. Šibenik Plus cannot be held responsible for changes carried out by the Owner of the property made without notifying Šibenik Plus. 

Your accommodation will be handed to you in tidy and clean conditions. In case you notice any irregularity or damaged inventory, please inform the Owner immediately, otherwise it will be considered that the unit is handed over in good conditions.
