The Service Provider draws the attention of the Customers to the fact that Child (Junior) Tickets can only be purchased in a limited number (one adult / one child) and that a Child Ticket cannot be purchased on its own, without purchasing a full-price Ticket.
Adding a Ticket to the shopping cart does not oblige the Customer to make a purchase. If the Customer does not wish to buy the selected Ticket, it can be removed from the cart at any time, or even the contents of the whole cart can be deleted, and the shopping cart time expires after a certain period of time. The Service Provider establishes that putting a Ticket in the shopping cart does not imply the booking of the Ticket. There is no unpaid booking within the Service.

If the purchase price is not credited to the bank account of the Service Provider within 3 days, the Contract shall automatically terminate on the 4th day.
5. The Service Provider does not apply an indefinite-term or flat-rate contract. The amount of the consideration includes all costs relating to the given purchase, except the cost of delivery by courier service.

The Service Provider informs the Customers about the Ticket types with only a few available pieces in the Webshop with the note ‘Last tickets’, therefore, the Service Provider draws the attention of the Customer to the fact that there is an increased chance in the case of this type that the Tickets may run out before payment.
