Any conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the Customer shall not apply unless the Provider has expressly agreed to their application in writing.

§ 2

Services and Conclusion of Contract

By submitting an appointment booking or order, the Customer makes a binding offer. The contract is concluded when the Provider confirms the booking or order, usually by email. Appointment confirmations are subject to availability.

§ 3

After this date, redemption at De Medici Movement Spa Club / Urbanowicz Izabela will no longer be possible.
