1. Introductory Findings

In the introduction we find that the General Terms and Conditions set and regulate the rules regarding the use of venues for rental that are located at Dunajska cesta 151, 1000 Ljubljana, for the purpose of organising events, as well as the rights and obligations of the lessee, and the lessor ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. The venues can be rented for business, educational, presentational, therapeutic or other events. The venues are designed in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Slovenia and its fire-safety regulations. Therefore the lessee is bound to comply with the limitations in respective numbers of attendees of an event, stated at each conference room respectively, to ensure the proper safety of the attendees. If the lessee intends to reserve or use the venue and the interior furnishing in ways not defined in these General Terms and Conditions, the lessee shall give a written notice about it to the lessor ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. at least 3 days prior to the event, and the changes come into effect only after the written confirmation of the lessor, ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. If ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. evaluates that the intentions of the lessee endanger the safety of the attendees or the venue, the lessor denies the request or the suggestion of the lessee.

2. Validity of the Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions are valid for all rental agreements between the lessee and ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. for renting the venues and their interior furnishing and inventory. ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. and the lessee sign a Rental Agreement for organising events for the rental of the venues and their interior furnishing and inventory. The Rental Agreement identifies the time of the rental, duration of the rental, the price of the rental, the type of the event, the characteristics of the rented venue, the interior furnishing and inventory, possible specifics of the agreement (e.g. preliminary adjustments of the rented business venue, according to the specific nature of the event), the conditions of the rental and the obligations of the lessee and the lessor, ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o.

3. Range of the Rental

ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. is renting out venues for organising events, such as business seminars, conferences, team buildings, lectures, individual consultations etc. Items for rent include the venues’ interior furnishing and inventory, which is defined by ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. in the Rental Agreement. By renting the venue the lessee gains the right to use the shared common areas of the business building where the venue is located (entrance hall, elevator, staircase, hallways). The lessee obliges to use these shared common areas, defined in the Rental Agreement, in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions.

4. Handover of the Venues

At the handover of the venues subject to rental the lessor ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. and the lessee define the condition of the venue. ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. records the condition of the venue in the Handover Document and the lessee signs it. Both parties receive one copy of the document.

5. Costs of the Rental

The costs of the rental include the rent and the cost of possible additional cleaning. The rent is expressed in Euros, excluding VAT and is set in the offer and pricelist of the lessor ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. The rent is variable, dependent on the duration of the rental, chosen additional services and number of rented venues. The rent includes the costs of cleaning of the venues, where basic cleaning, including vacuuming, garbage disposal, ordering chairs and covers, cleaning tea kitchen, floor and restrooms are already included in the basic price of the rental. The costs of the cleaning requiring additional handling in the event of spilled coloured liquids, stained textile, carpet, covers, walls, interior furnishing, inventory etc. is charged after the end of rental, when the condition of the venue, of its interior furnishing and of inventory is visible and the type and level of needed cleaning can be defined. The condition, taken as the basis for defining the level of cleaning is recorded in the Handover Document at the conclusion of the rental and is signed by the lessee. ZEN CONFERENCING d.o.o. will issue the invoice for possible additional cleaning to the lessee within seven days after the end of the rental.
