The circumstances under which You may withdraw from and/or amend the Service Agreement are explicitly stated in these Terms & Conditions (regarding withdrawal right please see Art. 6.2 hereof). Please note that the stipulation of provision 2.14 regarding exemption from the right for withdrawal from the contract within 14 days from conclusion in accordance to the applicable EU regulation, applies to the Service Agreement concluded between You and Us, because Our business is regulated by the applicable legislation and regulation of the Czech Republic and the European Union. In relation to the potential withdrawal from the Contract of Carriage concluded with the Selected Carrier(s), the terms & conditions of each of the respective Selected Carrier(s) shall apply. By conclusion of the Service Agreement You express and represent to Us that You have the necessary legal capacity to enter into and be bound by these Terms & Conditions and that You are familiar with the terms & conditions of each of the respective Selected Carrier and namely their terms regarding potential withdrawal or termination from the Contract of Carriage, cancellation and change of the Flight(s), and/or any other changes related to the Flight(s).

We choose not to make these internal rules and principles public.
Quoted Prices. The prices quoted on the Website include the base fare to the Destination, the airport charges, fuel charges, VAT and fees for Our and KAYAK’s Services. All these components of the quoted price are displayed as a single Full Price. However, given the character of Our Services, Our prices cannot include any extra fees charged by the Selected Carrier, or any other third party in connection with the carriage to the Destination that are not mandatory and/or are not collected at the point of sale.

Brokerage of the Contract of Carriage. We are primarily responsible to broker the Contract of Carriage between You and a Selected Carrier. By You making a Booking, You instruct Us to broker a Contract of Carriage between You and a Selected Carrier. The content of any such Contract of Carriage will be determined by Your selection of the Destination and other Flight attributes on the Website and the Selected Carrier’s conditions of carriage.

We and/or KAYAK will send You Our e-ticket(s) with the respective PNR for each respective Flight purchased from the Selected Carrier to Your email box at the email address that You entered in the online order form during the Booking on the Website. It is necessary that You enter Your email address in a correct and unabbreviated form. We are not liable for faulty delivery or non-delivery of e-ticket(s) for a Flight, if caused by circumstances on Your part such as entering an incorrect email address or incorrect email settings. You must notify Us of any changes to Your contact information that may affect Our ability to deliver the ordered Flight e-ticket(s) to You. Please be reminded that We do not deliver Flight e-ticket(s) in paper form; please print out the Flight e-ticket(s), boarding pass(es), visa(s), copy of passport and/or other travel documents required by the Selected Carrier(s) and/or relevant authorities and bring them with You to the airport.
