In case of a reservation and acknowledgement of an order later than 21 days before the date of check-in, the price shall be paid immediately and the receipt shall be sent by fax or e-mail or mail to the address of SLK TT. Unless the prepayment is paid in accordance with such conditions, the order will be fully cancelled. The same shall apply to payments for ordered and acknowledged requests for transfers. If a client orders a transfer later than placing an order for a stay and receiving acknowledgement of such order including a prepayment invoice, the client shall be obligated to pay for the transfer not later than 3 days before the acknowledged date of transfer. Otherwise, SLK TT shall be entitled to cancel such order without any compensation. A failure to pay for such transfer shall be considered a material breach of a contract or of a bilateral agreement, and SLK TT shall be entitled to indemnification. The ordering party accepts the whole scope of ordered services acknowledged by SLK TT by settling the invoice.
SLK TT as the service provider issues gift vouchers that can be used for individual services. The gift vouchers can be purchased in SLK TT points of sale, or ordered at the business department of SLK TT. A gift voucher validity shall be stated on the front side of voucher. The client can make use of individual services based on a gift voucher only as long as the gift voucher is valid. In case the services are failed to be utilised, the client forfeits the right to use such service without any compensation. A service from the offer of SLK TT specified in the gift voucher will be provided to a client that carries the gift voucher. The client shall order – reserve an exact term of every service through communication channels specified in www.therme.sk website, “Contacts” section.

In such cases SLK TT shall be entitled to damages.
A “spa charge” for a night and a person shall be an inherent part of the price. With effect from 24 October 2014, SLK TT decreases the sum of the spa charge from 1 € per person and night to 0.05 € per person and night (including VAT). SLK TT reserves the right to consider granting a charge discount in individual justified cases. The spa charge does not replace so-called “accommodation tax payable to town.” With reference to Act No. 268/2014 Coll. supplementing and amending the Act No. 582/2004 Coll., SLK TT shall be obligated to levy the accommodation tax payable to town for temporary accommodation provided for a payment with effect from 15 October 2014.

SLK TT can offer the service “payment to an open account” (hereinafter referred to as the “open account”) to the client. Such service applies to extra procedures ordered additionally in the spa and to drinks and goods ordered in gastronomical facilities of SLK TT. The “open account” is preconditioned by a pre-authorisation – blocking of client’s financial resources in an account linked with the client's payment card. Such pre-authorisation shall be made through terminal and client’s payment card. Items in the “open account” will be charged through the payment card and completion of pre-authorisation. In case a client with an open account and pre-authorisation does not uses any of the above services, the financial blocking will be cancelled not later than at check-out. A client shall be obligated to check whether blocking was cancelled. SLK TT shall not bear responsibility if the client fails to request cancelation of blocking of financial resources before he checks out. SLK TT can establish/cancel an open account service anytime during a client’s stay. After completing/ cancelling the pre-authorisation, SLK TT shall not bear responsibility for any further transaction periods of banks and payment card issuers in relation to the client’s disposition right of his or her financial resources.
