Anyone who visits the Online Shop is a Customer of the www.becherovka.com website and is obliged to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to act in accordance with generally accepted principles of morality and these Terms and Conditions, and not to damage the reputation and rights of JBKB.  

1.3.  The Online Shop allows you to purchase Tickets and Vouchers for tours of the JBKB Visitor Center. JBKB hereby declares and informs that the offer includes Tickets for tours involving the consumption of alcoholic beverages, which, due to the serving of alcohol, are intended only for customers over 18 years of age.

Tickets in the form of e-tickets will also be delivered to the Customer’s e-mail address provided by the Customer for this purpose via the web form when submitting the purchase order. To print the e-ticket, the Customer needs a program that allows him or her to print the document in PDF format (e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader).

3.3.  Depending on the chosen method of delivery, the Customer can view the Vouchers in the form of an e-ticket similar to Article 3.2 of these Terms and Conditions or collect them in person at the Visitor Center.

3.5.  JBKB recommends that the customer with a purchased e-ticket arrive at the reception desk of the Visitor Center at least 15 minutes before the start of the tour (if the Customer needs or wishes so, a valid e-ticket can be exchanged for a valid paper Ticket free of charge). 

3.6. Entry to the tour will be granted only on the basis of the Ticket that passes the check-in first. If the Ticket or a copy of the Ticket is presented again, entry to the tour will be denied regardless of who presents the Ticket. 

3.7. When redeeming a Voucher, it is necessary to make an early reservation for a specific tour date by calling +420 359 578 142, otherwise JBKB cannot guarantee that the Voucher will be redeemed on the specific date chosen by the Customer due to the possible exhaustion of the capacity of the selected tour. The Voucher holder is entitled to redeem the Voucher. When redeeming a Voucher, JBKB does not verify whether the person is the authorized holder of the Voucher.
