Submit a review or rating for a Room by a Business User, as well as by employees, subcontractors, contractors under work agreements, or any other individuals or entities associated with the Business User or providing services on its behalf. This includes close family members, friends, or acquaintances.
Submit a review that violates the law or good manners, particularly one that is unreliable, dishonest, offensive, incites aggression or hatred, or discriminates.

Disclose storyline details or Room elements (spoilers) in the review.
Include links to blogs, fan pages, or any other websites in the review.
[Administrator's Rights] If the Administrator determines that the User or Business User has engaged in unacceptable actions as mentioned in paragraph 50 above, the Administrator may:
Verify the information contained in the review, and/or
Mark the review as restricted, meaning it will not be considered by the algorithm generating the Ranking, and/or
Hide the visibility of the review, as well as modify its content or even delete it, and/or
Block the Account until the restoration of compliance with the law, good manners, or the provisions of the Terms for Businesses, or the removal of the effects of unacceptable actions.
The Administrator may mark a review as archival if the review pertains to a version of the Room before its reconstruction or the transfer of the Room scenario to another city.
A person for whom the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 50.2 above cease to exist, upon reporting this fact to the Administrator, may add a rating or review about the Room, except for the Room they visited during the time when these circumstances applied to it. If the review or rating were given by a Business User, that User's review and rating will not be considered by the algorithm generating the Ranking. If the situation involves other persons listed in paragraph 50.2, their ability to leave reviews and ratings will only be disabled in the city where the Business User's Room was located, with which they were associated.
[Reporting Violations] If the User discovers that any content available on the Service violates their rights or interests, they can report it to the Administrator with justification using the violation reporting form.
Violations related to reviews should be reported exclusively through the "Report Review" option visible next to the review for 30 days from the date of its addition. The Administrator does not accept reports via the specified email address, except for reports that may lead to the disclosure of plot details or Room elements.
The review report is public, meaning that both the content of the report and all correspondence with the Administrator resulting from the report are accessible to every User by clicking on a special link visible next to the reported review.
It is not permissible for the User to include personal data of individuals other than themselves in the report. If providing personal data other than the User's own is necessary for reporting a violation, this information should be sent to the Administrator via email. Reports containing personal data other than the User's will be deleted.
The report must substantiate that a violation of the User's rights or interests has occurred. The User must justify their report by presenting relevant facts or circumstances indicating that a violation of their rights or interests has occurred.
The Administrator has 14 days from receiving the report to review it. The Administrator is not obligated to provide information about the status of the report.
[Complaints] Users can file complaints related to the use of the Service, the conclusion, or execution of the Account Management Agreement, Voucher Purchase Agreement, or Game Purchase Agreement, especially complaints regarding the non-compliance of the Game or Voucher with the agreement (as the Administrator is responsible for the conformity of its services with the agreement, which is assessed based on the provisions of the Consumer Rights Act).
A complaint should include:
User identification,
The subject of the complaint,
Circumstances justifying the complaint,
User's request regarding the complaint.
Complaints can be submitted in the form of a message to the Administrator's email address.
The Administrator will consider the complaint within 14 days of receiving it. The User will be notified of the decision resulting from the complaint review in the same way the complaint was sent.
[Applicable Law and Polish Jurisdiction] The agreement is subject to Polish law, which does not deprive the Consumer or Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK) of the right to use the entitlements arising from the regulations applicable in the country of the Consumer's or Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK)'s place of residence. The User and the Administrator will first make efforts to amicably resolve disputes arising from the use of the Service or the conclusion of the Account Management Agreement, Voucher Purchase Agreement, or Game Purchase Agreement. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the dispute will be resolved by the competent common court in Poland, competent for the Administrator's registered office (the choice of the court does not concern the Consumer and Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK) – in this respect, the court's jurisdiction is determined according to general principles).
[Consumer's right to withdraw from the agreement] The Consumer or Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK) has the right to withdraw from the concluded Voucher Purchase Agreement or Game Purchase Agreement without giving any reason within 14 days from the date of delivery of the Voucher or Game. The statement of withdrawal can be made by the Consumer or Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK) to the Administrator in any convenient way via the postal or email address of the Administrator before the deadline for withdrawal from the agreement expires. In the case of withdrawal, the parties promptly, but no later than within 14 days, return mutual benefits without additional costs. The Consumer or Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK) bears the direct costs of returning the Game. The refund for the Consumer or Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK) will be made using the same payment method as the one used by the Consumer or Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK) for payment. The rules for withdrawing from the Room Reservation Agreement arise from the generally applicable legal provisions or the Room Regulations. Since the Administrator is not a party to the Room Reservation Agreement, matters related to the withdrawal from the Room Reservation Agreement are handled directly by the Partner.
[Dispute Resolution] The Consumer has the option to use out-of-court methods of complaint resolution and the pursuit of claims. The Consumer can also use the online dispute resolution platform (ODR).
[Consumer Rights] The Consumer may also have certain rights arising from consumer protection regulations.
[Personal Data and Cookies] Provisions regarding the principles of processing personal data and the use of cookies are included in the Privacy Policy.
[Limitation of Liability] Subject to the provisions that are absolutely binding and the provisions regarding Consumers and Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights (PNPK), to the extent permitted by applicable laws, the Administrator disclaims liability for:
any damages caused to third parties as a result of Users using the Service in a manner contrary to the General Terms and Conditions or legal provisions,
content posted by Users through the Service that violates the law or the protected rights of third parties,
the way in which entities other than the Administrator use the content posted by Users within the Service,
loss of User data caused by external factors or other circumstances beyond the Administrator's control,
unavailability of the Service due to reasons other than the User,

damages incurred by Users due to incorrect recording or reading of information,
technical issues related to the use of the Service arising from reasons beyond the control of the Service, including those caused by force majeure or improper functioning of the Internet.
[General Terms and Conditions Applicability] The Administrator may specify, in the form of an attachment to the General Terms and Conditions for a specific country, other provisions in the scope covered by the General Terms and Conditions.
[Changes to the General Terms and Conditions] For valid reasons, the Administrator reserves the right to change the General Terms and Conditions. Valid reasons justifying a change in the General Terms and Conditions include, in particular, changes in universally, nationally, or locally applicable legal regulations, organizational changes on the Administrator's side, expansion of services provided by the Administrator, the inability to continue providing services by the Administrator under current conditions, and the need to adapt the General Terms and Conditions to unfair practices of Users aimed at circumventing the provisions of the General Terms and Conditions. The Administrator will inform Users about the new content of the General Terms and Conditions through a message to their Account. In case of non-acceptance of the new content of the General Terms and Conditions, the User has the right to terminate the Account Management Agreement at any time. The General Terms and Conditions applicable at the time of entering into the agreement apply to the Voucher Purchase Agreement and Game Purchase Agreement.
