RULES FOR USING THE “MINI SPA” AREA (SAUNA AND HOT TUB WITH HYDROMASSAGE)

§ 1. LIGHTING AND OPERATING THE WOOD-BURNING STOVE IN THE SAUNA AND HOT TUB WITH HYDROMASSAGE

   1. Exercise the utmost caution when lighting the stove. It is strictly prohibited to use petrol, diesel, kerosene, methylated spirits, alcohol or any other flammable or explosive liquids to light or stoke the fire. Breaching this prohibition risks explosion, fire, serious injury and is undertaken entirely at the Guests' own responsibility.
   2. Lighting the stove and adding wood is done at the Guests' own risk and responsibility. During these activities it is strictly prohibited to bring the face close to the open stove chamber or look directly into the firebox, as a sudden flare or flashback may cause serious burns. The stove must not be heated to extremely high temperatures, as this may damage or unseal the structure, scorch wooden elements or melt the plastic nozzles of the hydromassage system.
   3. In the stove, wood burns directly on the metal grate (wood is inserted through the external door). Any added wood must fit entirely inside the combustion chamber and must not protrude beyond the door opening or prevent the door from closing. Guests must provide and bring all materials needed to light the fire (including firelighters, matches or a lighter) themselves. Any fire-lighting accessories left at the Property by the Owner are merely an optional, free convenience and the Property does not guarantee their continuous availability or quantity.
   4. During lighting and throughout the entire burning process, the upper firebox door must remain fully closed and secured to prevent embers from falling out and sparks from flying.
   5. The air supply and combustion intensity (temperature) are controlled only by appropriately pulling out or pushing in the lower ash drawer (lower door) of the stove. Pulling the drawer out further increases the flame, while closing it fully reduces and smothers the fire.
   6. It is strictly prohibited to touch any external structural parts of the stove or the flue pipes. During operation and for many hours after the fire has gone out, these components reach extremely high temperatures and pose a direct risk of severe burns or permanent injury. Staying near the stove is entirely at the Guests' own responsibility.
   7. It is absolutely prohibited to bring flammable materials close to the stove or place any items (including towels, bathrobes or clothing) directly on the stove, chimney or in their immediate vicinity. Breaching this prohibition creates an immediate fire hazard and results in immediate withdrawal of access to the SPA area without a refund.
   8. Before the sauna or hydromassage hot tub (located outside the Property) is used for the first time, the Owner or an authorised person provides the Tenant with mandatory on-site instruction. During the training, Guests are personally shown how to operate the stove safely, regulate the temperature using the lower door and care for the equipment. Undertaking any fire-lighting activity independently constitutes the Tenant's declaration that they have completed the full training, understood the instructions and assume full legal and civil responsibility for the health and life of all participants using the facilities.

§ 2. MANDATORY SUPERVISION OF MINORS

   1. The entire “Mini SPA” area (sauna, hydromassage hot tub, cooling barrel) is a higher-risk area (open flame, extremely hot stove and chimney components, and deep water).
   2. It is strictly prohibited to leave minor children or persons requiring continuous care without adult supervision anywhere in the SPA area or in its immediate vicinity.
   3. Full, exclusive and unconditional legal and civil responsibility for children's health, life and safety rests with their parents or legal guardians. They are required to ensure constant, uninterrupted and direct adult supervision of children throughout their time in the SPA area.
   4. The Property Owner bears no responsibility for accidents, injuries, burns (caused by touching the stove or chimney), near-drowning or drowning of children resulting from a lack of proper supervision by parents or guardians.

§ 3. FINANCIAL LIABILITY AND WINTER PROCEDURES

 3. FINANCIAL LIABILITY AND WINTER PROCEDURES
   1. The person making the reservation bears full financial responsibility for all damage resulting from improper use, gross negligence or leaving the hydromassage hot tub/sauna outdoors in freezing conditions without appropriate protection.
   2. In winter, when temperatures are around 0°C or below freezing, Guests are strictly required to drain all water completely from the hydromassage hot tub immediately after each use and switch on the air system to blow all remaining water out of the hydromassage system. Use of the hydromassage hot tub in freezing conditions is permitted only after prior contact with the person managing the house and strict compliance with the instructions provided. Failure to fulfil these obligations will result in water freezing, damage to the system and cracks in the barrel structure, the full cost of which will be borne by the Guest.
   3. It is prohibited to light the stoves in the sauna or hydromassage hot tub when the outdoor temperature exceeds 30°C (this prohibition is intended to protect the environment and equipment).
   4. Tenants are required to maintain impeccable cleanliness in the sauna, hydromassage hot tub and barrel. If the Owner finds gross neglect of the facilities or deliberate mechanical damage (e.g. scratching/carving writing into wooden walls or benches), the Owner has the right to impose a charge covering the full cost of repairing the damage.

§ 4. CONDITIONS OF SAUNA USE

 4. CONDITIONS OF SAUNA USE

      * remove jewellery and all other metal objects to avoid possible skin burns,
      * remove swimwear containing synthetic/artificial materials and flip-flops.
   12. A proper sauna session consists of warming the body (from 8 to a maximum of 15 minutes), immediately cooling down with cold water (in the shower or barrel), and mandatory rest lasting as long as the warming phase. The entire procedure may be repeated no more than 2 to 3 times during one daily session. Exceeding these limits is entirely at the Guests' own risk.
   13. Guests use the sauna entirely at their own risk and bear full and unequivocal responsibility for their health. Before entering the cabin, each Guest is strictly required to assess their own health suitability.

The Property Owner bears no responsibility for any deterioration of health, fainting, injury or fatal event resulting from Guests concealing or ignoring the above contraindications.
   14. Use of the sauna is at the user's own risk and responsibility. The Property Owner is not liable for accidents or health consequences caused by failure to comply with these Rules.

§ 5. USE OF THE HYDROMASSAGE HOT TUB, COOLING BARREL AND TIPPING BUCKET

 5. USE OF THE HYDROMASSAGE HOT TUB, COOLING BARREL AND TIPPING BUCKET
   1. Before entering the hydromassage hot tub or barrel, you must read these Rules. Use of the facilities constitutes acceptance of all provisions of these Rules.

   7. In particular, use of the hydromassage hot tub and barrel is prohibited for persons with: heart or circulatory diseases, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, claustrophobia, epilepsy, cancer, asthmatic conditions, elevated body temperature, pregnant women and women during menstruation, as well as persons under the influence of alcohol or intoxicating substances.
   8. Rules for filling and changing the water in the hydromassage hot tub are strictly governed by the seasonal provisions:
   * In the summer (warm) season: for weekly rentals (7 nights and multiples thereof), the water is replaced with fresh water free of charge at the Property's expense no more than twice per stay. Each additional filling with fresh water at the Guests' request is charged at PLN 100.
      * In the cooler season (short weekend stays): Guests receive freshly filled water on arrival. Due to the frost procedure (§ 3 point 2), the water must be drained after bathing.

      * The Owner is not responsible for minor contamination caused by sudden changes in weather.
   9. Failure to understand or overlooking any provision of these Rules does not release Guests from full civil and financial responsibility for any damage caused to the Property or for putting their own health and life at risk. The Owner is not responsible for accidents or health consequences resulting from use of the SPA area.
   10. In both summer and winter, water spilled around the hydromassage hot tub, sauna and tipping bucket makes the wooden decking extremely slippery and, in sub-zero temperatures, freezes immediately. Entering and leaving the SPA facilities is entirely at the Guests' own responsibility. The Owner accepts no responsibility for slips, trips, falls, fractures, injuries or accidents on the decking or around the garden facilities.
