  2. The requester places an order for a service from the Craftsman (Craftsman Services) by entering the relevant parameters necessary to create an order within the SWORP and confirming the duly completed order within the SWORP (Order). The operator will subsequently contact the relevant Craftsmen who might be interested in the Order. Subsequently, the Inquirer will be informed as to whether his Order has been accepted by any of the Craftsmen, whereby the relevant Inquirer can subsequently make his already binding offer to conclude a contract for the provision of Craftsman Services with a specific Craftsman. In the event that the selected Craftsman accepts the Requester's offer to provide his Craftsman Services, a contract will be concluded between the Requester and the Craftsman (Contract between the Requester and the Craftsman).
  3. It is prohibited for SWORP to make requests or offers for services other than those for which SWORP is expressly intended, i.e. in the sense of this article related to the repair, maintenance or reconstruction of real estate, or other similar services that SWORP offers at the time . In particular, it is forbidden for the demand or offer for SWORP to be contrary to good morals or legal regulations.
  4. The Enquirer acknowledges that there is no legal right to conclude a Contract between the Enquirer and the Craftsman through SWORP. In the event that the Order is not confirmed by any of the Craftsmen, the Requester cannot rely on any provision of services by the Craftsmen on any of the Craftsmen and/or the Operator.
  5. Given that the Operator acts only as an intermediary between the Requester and the Craftsman in order to enable the Requester to use the Services of the Craftsman, and does not have any other contractual relationship with the Requester in this sense, the Operator bears no responsibility for the selection of the Craftsman, for the information provided between the Requester and the Craftsman to each other, for the performance of the Craftsman (including the quality of the Craftsman's Services), not even in the form of liability for advice in the sense of § 2950 of Act No. 89/2012 Coll., Civil Code (Civil Code), nor for any damage or non-property damage caused by the Craftsman. The requester cannot exercise any of the consumer's rights that he has against the Craftsman against the Operator. This paragraph does not affect the fact that the Operator will provide non-claim services for the Enquirer, consisting in the provision of support, the subject of which will be the handling of complaints and initiatives of the Enquirers against the Craftsmen.
