11. RESOLVING
COMPLAINTS
Every guest –
contractor has a right to complain in case of failure to provide the service
contracted. If the rented services are only partially or unsatisfactorily
executed, a guest may ask for proportional compensation by submitting a written
complaint.
Complaints on services provided in suites in private accommodation:
The contractor makes a complaint on behalf of his/her guests who are staying in
the same accommodation unit.
The procedure for making a complaint:
- If upon arrival at the destination a guest is not satisfied with the state in
which he/she found the accommodations, he or she has to inform the agency, i.e.
the authorized agency representative of the cause of his/her discontent
immediately upon arrival. The guest has to cooperate in good faith both with
the representative of the agency and with the provider of services in order to
resolve the complaint.
- If the guest refuses to accept compensation accommodation or refund agreement
that is equivalent to the service that is booked and paid for, the agency will
not recognize subsequent complaints nor will it consider it necessary to
respond to it.
- The criterion of comparison of the original and the compensation
accommodation is the price found on web pages " www...............com ". The agency
cannot offer a guest services of inferior value in relation to those already
paid for.
- If a guest is not satisfied with the state of accommodations on the spot and
leaves the building finding new accommodation on his/her own, without giving
the agency an
opportunity to resolve the cause of his discontent or to find compensation
accommodation
This guest cannot ask for a refund nor make a claim for compensation,
notwithstanding the fact that his reasons might be justified. In case of
complaint and request for help, that is for arbitration of the agency, upon
receipt of the complaint, the agency has 8 hours to resolve the situation at
issue. The period between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. does not count. If the cause of
discontent is valid, resolution of problems that led to it will be considered
as the proper solution to the situation. In case those valid causes of
discontent cannot be resolved, the agency is obliged to find compensation
accommodation for guests. Compensation accommodation is the accommodation of
the same or better quality offered in the entire tourist region of Sv. Filip i
Jakov.
In case a guest does not accept one of at least 3 alternatives of the same or
better quality, which are offered to him/her, the parties will sign a refund
agreement. Under this agreement the agency can refund the guest the maximum
amount of 50% of the sum he paid.
The parties mutually sign two copies of the refund agreement and in that case
the guest renounces the right to subsequent claims for compensation, as well as
the right to inform the media. This agreement rules out the guest's right to
consequential damage. The guest can keep one copy of this document.
12. NOTE
By paying for
the reservation the guest entirely accepts the program and the conditions of
providing services both in hotels and suites in private accommodation that are
stated here.
