Subject
These Terms and Conditions govern access to, browsing of, and use of the quintinhasilvestre.pt website.
The website is institutional and informational in nature, designed to present the company, its services, its portfolio, and its contact information, as well as to receive contact requests and requests for quotes.
Requests for information about events
The website provides a contact form for requests for information about events, general availability, or other inquiries. Submitting this form does not, in and of itself, constitute a reservation, contractual acceptance, or binding commitment. The holding of any event will always depend on subsequent contact between the parties and, where applicable, on a proposal, quote, or specific confirmation.
Online booking engine and payments
To check availability and make accommodation reservations, the website redirects users to an online booking engine provided by Hotelier101, through which payments are also processed using a payment gateway provided by Stripe.
The booking engine and payment gateway are operated by third parties that are technically independent from the quintinhasilvestre.pt website; these third parties have their own terms of use and privacy policies, which the user should review before completing the booking.
The price of the stay, the payment terms (including any deposit or prepayment), the cancellation and refund policy, and the rules for check-in, check-out, and use of the accommodation are presented to the user in the booking engine at the time of booking and are considered an integral part of the accommodation contract entered into between the user and João Paulo Henriques Tavares, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda.
Pursuant to Article 17(1)(k) of Decree-Law No. 24/2014, of February 14, contracts for the provision of lodging services—when they specify a particular date or period of performance—are excluded from the right of free termination applicable to distance contracts. Thus, once the reservation is confirmed, the user does not have the 14-day period to freely withdraw from the contract, although the cancellation policy displayed on the booking engine may provide for more favorable terms.
João Paulo Henriques Tavares, Sociedade Unipessoal Lda does not have access to or store the data of the card or payment method used; the processing of the payment is the sole responsibility of the contracted payment gateway.
