The travel contract becomes binding at the time of payment of the deposit.

The relevant entity for alternative dispute resolution is the Slovak Trade Inspection or other competent legal person registered in the list of alternative dispute resolution entities maintained by the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Slovak Republic. The list is available at http://www.mhsr.sk/. The customer is entitled to choose an alternative consumer dispute resolution entity to address.
