Definitions
“Dalmatia2Go”, “us”, “we” or “our” is MAGICLINE, a sole proprietorship governed by Swiss law and located at Grubenstrasse 3, 4222 Zwingen, Switzerland.
The “Platform” is the (mobile) website on which the travel and tourist service managed, maintained and/or hosted by Dalmatia2Go and controlled by MAGICLINE is made available.

1. Scope and nature of our services
Through this platform we (Dalmatia2Go and its affiliate (sales) partners) provide an online platform through which travel suppliers, in their professional capacity (i.e. B2B or B2C), can advertise, market, sell and/or offer to order, purchase, reserve and rent (if applicable) their products and services and through which relevant visitors of this platform can discover, search, compare and make an order, reservation, purchase or payment (i.e. the travel service). By using the Travel Service (e.g. by making a booking through the Travel Supplier), you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the Travel Supplier, where you make a booking or purchase a product or service (if applicable). From the time of your travel booking, we act exclusively as an intermediary between you and the travel provider, who forwards the details of your booking to the respective travel provider and sends you a confirmation e-mail on behalf and in the name of the travel provider.
Dalmatia2Go does not own, sell, rent or offer any (travel & tourist) products or services.
The information we use to provide our travel services is based on the information provided to us by the travel providers. The travel providers who market and advertise their trips on our platform have access to our systems and their dashboard and are therefore solely responsible for ensuring that the rates/fees/prices, availability, guidelines and terms and conditions and other important information listed on our website are constantly updated. Although we take great care and diligence in the performance of our travel services, we cannot verify or warrant that all information is accurate, correct and complete, nor can we be held responsible for errors (including obvious mistakes or typographical errors), interruptions (due to temporary and/or partial failure, repair, update or maintenance of our website or for any other reason), inaccurate, misleading or untrue information or failure to transmit the information. Each travel provider remains responsible for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the (descriptive) information (including rates/prices/fees, policies & terms and conditions and availability) on our website at all times. Our website does not constitute and should not be construed as a recommendation or confirmation of the quality, service level, qualification or classification (stars) of any available travel provider (or its equipment, venues, vehicles, (main or auxiliary) products or services, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Our travel services are only available for private and non-commercial use. Therefore, you are not permitted to distribute content or information, software, products or services available on our website for commercial or competitive purposes, to link to sub-pages of websites, to use, copy, extract (for example with spider, scrape), republish, upload or reproduce.
2. Data protection
Provisions on data protection and cookies can be found on our website and comply with the EU’s DSGVO.
3. Free of charge for consumers, only travel providers pay for advertising!
Unless otherwise stated, our services are free of charge for consumers, because unlike many other providers, we will not charge you for our travel service and no additional fees will be charged. You will pay the applicable amount to the travel provider as stated in the booking (and, if not already included in the price, any applicable taxes, duties and fees (if applicable)).
Travel providers can increase their placement on Dalmatia2Go by
buing an advertising plan (increase visibility). The use of “increase visibility” (increase commission for increased placement in search results) is at the discretion of each travel supplier and may be used from time to time for different products offered. The placement algorithm takes into account an increase in commission in the default placement setting. Preferred partners pay a higher commission and in return receive a better position in the search results.
Dalmatia2Go is not an open platform (like Amazon or eBay) where end users can make their products available (not a C2C platform; Dalmatia2Go does not allow unprofessional parties to offer or sell their products on or through Dalmatia2Go.
4. Credit card or bank transfer
For certain products and services Dalmatia2Go (via independent payment providers) processes the payment of the corresponding product or service (i.e. payment processing service) for and on behalf of the travel provider (Dalmatia2Go never acts as a contractor). The payment process is secure from your credit/debit card or bank account through an external payment processor.
Please note that certain (non-refundable) prices or offers require immediate payment by bank transfer (where possible) or credit card at the time of ordering, and therefore may require pre-authorization or a charge to your credit card (sometimes without the possibility of a refund). Please check the details of the selected product/service carefully for any special terms and conditions before confirming it. Dalmatia2Go is not responsible or liable for any (justified, (allegedly) unjustified or incorrect) payment by the travel provider and he cannot (re)claim a valid or justified charge on your credit card.
In case of credit card fraud or misuse of your credit card by third parties, most banks and credit card companies bear the risk and cover all costs resulting from fraud or misuse, sometimes with an excess (usually EUR 50 (or its equivalent in another currency)).
5. Affilate Partners, Payment

8. Ranking, preferred program, stars and guest ratings
The star rating of an accommodation displayed on Dalmatia2Go is not determined by Dalmatia2Go. Each accommodation determines its own star rating or it is determined by an independent third party for (objective) star ratings. Offers are displayed based on the number of stars (sorted from low to high or high to low) given by Dalmatia2Go. Depending on the (regional) guidelines and possibilities, the star ratings are either assigned by an (independent) third party, for example an (official) hotel rating organisation, or by the accommodation owner’s own assessment, independent of objective criteria. Dalmatia2Go does not impose any official obligations regarding star ratings and does not review them. Overall, the star rating shows how an accommodation compares to the legal requirements (if applicable) or, if this is not required, to the sector or (usual) industry standard regarding prices, facilities and available services (these requirements and standards may vary from country to country and organisation to organisation).
Only clients who have stayed in an accommodation are invited by Dalmatia2Go to comment on their stay in the accommodation and give an evaluation for certain aspects of their stay or may be asked for an evaluation during their stay. The completed guest evaluation (including the evaluation given during your stay) can be a) uploaded to the relevant information page of the travel operator on our website. This is solely for the purpose of informing (future) guests about the service and further quality of the travel provider. In addition, the completed guest evaluation b) may be used (in whole or in part) (for marketing, advertising or to improve the service) at the discretion of Dalmatia2Go on our website or social media platforms, in the newsletter, for offers, apps and other distribution channels owned, managed, used or controlled by Dalmatia2Go and/or its business partners. In order to provide up-to-date (and therefore relevant) reviews, reviews can only be submitted within a limited period of time (28 days) after the stay, and each review is only available for a limited time (24 months) after it has been posted online. The default ranking of reviews is based on the date they were posted and some other criteria (e.g. language, reviews with comments), but a review from a customer who [always] provides comprehensive and detailed reviews (“Travel Detective”) could be displayed at the top. You can choose different rating categories and filters (e.g. target group, date, language, rating result).
Dalmatia2Go allows tour operators to respond to reviews. We reserve the right to modify, reject or remove any reviews that violate our review guidelines. Dalmatia2Go does not compensate or reward in any way customers who submit reviews. The guest rating form can be considered as a kind of survey and does not contain any other (commercial) offers, invitations or other advertising. Dalmatia2Go does not accept reviews that contain the following:
- obscene, violent, hateful, offensive/pornographic, discriminatory or threatening content
- Mention of full names, personal attacks on employees
- Promotion of illegal activities (e.g. drug abuse, prostitution)
- pages, e-mails and addresses, telephone numbers, credit card details
- Politically sensitive comments
Dalmatia2Go and the travel provider are each entitled to terminate the partnership at any time, for any reason whatsoever (including in case of breach of contract and bankruptcy (filing for bankruptcy)), subject to the appropriate notice period agreed by both parties.
