By making a reservation via H2H platform a direct contract in terms of accommodation service is created solely between the Hostel seller and the Guest.

Hostels will in no way make payments to each other but all due fees will be paid or received through the H2H. All payments of fees, payable under these Terms, will be made on the monthly basis for the previous month. Only payable amount will be Hostel’s balance for respective month. Balance will be calculated as the difference between:
Aggregate amount of Total fees (H2H fees + Recommendation fees) owed by the Hostel for respective month, when acting in a capacity of Hostel seller.
Aggregate amount of Recommendation fees for which Hostel is entitled for respective month, when acting in a capacity of Hostel buyer.
If this balance is positive, Hostel is obliged to pay this amount to H2H, and if this balance is negative H2H is obliged to pay this amount to the Hostel.

H2H will not be obliged to pay any amount before receiving invoice from Hostel. Having in mind that all payments are going via H2H, H2H reserves the right to reduce the amount of balance payable to Hostel for any amount of Recommendation fees for which that Hostel is entitled, that H2H didn’t receive. As soon as H2H receives this amount, it will be paid by wire transfer to Hostel. In the case of late payment by Hostel, H2H reserves the right to claim statutory interest and to suspend its service under the Terms (e.g. by suspending the Hostel from the H2H Platform), and/or to ask for a bank guarantee or other form of financial security from the Hostel.

If possible Hostel buyer will notify guest about this, and it will use its best endeavors to recommend and reserve alternative Hostel for the guest.
If it is not possible to notify guest about inability of Hostel seller to provide reserved accommodation, and guest shows up at the Hostel seller, it will:
find suitable alternative accommodation of an equal or better standard to the confirmation paper of the Guest.
provide free private transportation to the alternative accommodation for the Guest and other members of the Guest’s party who are listed in the confirmation paper.
If after successful reservation made via H2H platform the guest decide to cancel its reservation and communicates its willingness to do so to the Hostel buyer, then the Hostel buyer will promptly notify Hostel seller about guest’s cancellation via H2H platform. In this case it shall be considered that no reservation has been made and the Hostel seller will not be obliged to pay H2H fee or Recommendation fee. Also no cancellation fee will be charged to either H2H, Hostel buyer or the Guest. If after successful reservation made via H2H platform the guest doesn’t show with the Hostel seller in accordance with the data from conformation, then the Hostel seller will notify H2H and Hostel buyer via H2H platform.

Each time when Hostel seller notifies H2H and Hostel buyer that guest in fact didn’t show up, H2H can use every means available to verify this fact. If during this verification H2H determines that Hostel seller falsely notified H2H that Guest didn’t show up, H2H reserves the right to claim contractual penalty from Hostel seller in amount of EUR 2.000,00 and to suspend its Service under the Terms (e.g. by suspending the Hostel seller from the H2H Platform).
