  1. General/Contractual Conditions
    Istramagica acts as an intermediary between the owners of the accommodation and the clients. Istramagica is not a tour operator, the owner of the accommodation is also not a tour operator. The contracting parties are the owner of the accommodation and the client. The rental contract is concluded between the client and the owner of the accommodation, unless the owner objects within 24 hours by written confirmation from Istramagica. Istramagica is not responsible for any obligations arising from this contract. The Travel Act does not apply to the accommodation offered here.
  2. Tasks of the intermediary Istramagica
    Istramagica acts as an agent and advisor only. Istramagica arranges accommodation on behalf of the owner. The booking conditions will be communicated to the client.
  3. Liability
    Istramagica does not guarantee that the booking requested by the client will be made. There are no claims against Istramagica arising from the mediated contract between the customer and the accommodation company/organizer. Warranty claims due to defects as well as recourse claims of any other kind resulting from poor or non-fulfilment of the services booked with the accommodation provider must be asserted against the accommodation owner. If necessary, the accommodation owner is liable to the customer within the scope of its terms and conditions, which Istramagica can request upon special request. Insofar as Istramagica makes a recommendation, it is non-binding. Istramagica does not assume any liability for this. All services and information researched and requested for the customer shall be passed on to the customer by Istramagica as received from third parties without verification of the content. Istramagica is an agent of third party services and is only liable for the proper procurement of the service, and not for the service provision itself. Thus, Istramagica is not liable for service disruptions in connection with third-party services. 
  4. Booking procedure
    Based on the Customer's request to Istramagica to make the booking, the Customer will receive a booking confirmation by e-mail, which will include the terms and conditions (price, type of accommodation, method of payment, cancellation terms). The client confirms the booking and accepts the terms and conditions described at Istramagica.com by making the required deposit. No later than 3 days after receiving the payment, the customer will receive the confirmation of payment and the required information about the booked accommodation (contact details: name of the owner, address, phone number).

    Upon receipt of the booking confirmation, the required deposit is due to Istramagica's business account. The remaining payment will be made as stated in the booking confirmation. The respective payment and cancellation conditions can be found in the rental conditions of the respective accommodation, which are stated in the booking confirmation.
