This Cancellation Policy is drawn up in English, and the English text is the only authentic version. A Bulgarian translation is provided for convenience; in the event of any discrepancy, the English text prevails. Neither that translation nor any other, including an automatic translation by your browser, has legal effect of its own. This does not derogate from any mandatory rule of law on the language in which information must be provided to you.

This Policy forms an integral part of the Guest Terms and of the Host Terms. It describes the three standard cancellation templates, the cancellation procedure, and the cases in which the Platform's rules take precedence.

Important: for a Booking of accommodation on specific dates, the 14-day right of withdrawal under Article 50 of the Bulgarian Consumer Protection Act (Zakon za zashtita na potrebitelite, "CPA") does not apply, pursuant to Article 57(12) CPA. Your ability to terminate a Booking is governed entirely by this Policy, which is contractual in nature.

---

1. How the applicable policy is determined

(1) Each Listing has exactly one applicable Cancellation Policy, selected by the Host.

(2) The Host selects one of the three standard templates under Section 2 or sets its own terms, subject to the restrictions under Section 3.

(3) The applicable policy is displayed to the Guest before the Booking is confirmed and forms part of the contract between the Guest and the Host.

(4) Legal characterisation. The standard templates are model terms offered by the Platform. By selecting them, the Host accepts them and they bind the Host and the Guest. The Platform is not a party to them; it is responsible for displaying and applying them correctly.

(5) The applicable policy is determined as at the moment of booking and does not change upon any subsequent amendment of this Policy.

7. Precedence of the Platform's rules

8. Cancellation by the Host

(1) The Host is not entitled to cancel a confirmed Booking without valid cause.

(2) Valid cause exists only in the case of: a circumstance under Section 6; an objective impossibility to provide the Property, arising without fault on the part of the Host; or a reasonable suspicion of fraud or of a breach of the Guest Terms by the Guest. The Host Terms shall be interpreted in accordance with this provision.

(2) The appeal is reviewed by a member of staff, not solely by automated means, and is decided within 14 days.

(3) The Platform's decisions do not affect the contractual and statutory rights of the parties, including the right to judicial protection and the consumer's right to refer the matter to a conciliation commission with the Commission for Consumer Protection.
