2. The prohibition on bathing also applies in hot weather, following the loss of equipment, where a fishing line becomes snagged or where a fish needs to be released.
3. A person who breaches the prohibitions may be removed from the fishery premises immediately if their continued presence creates a safety risk.
§ 5. Fishing stands
1. The User may use only the stand allocated or indicated to them.
2. Creating stands independently, cutting vegetation, constructing steps, reinforcements or platforms, or interfering with the shoreline is prohibited.
3. Before starting to use a stand, the User should carry out a basic visual inspection and immediately report to the Operator any:
a) damage to a pier or railing,
b) slippery surface,
c) ground subsidence,
d) fallen tree or overhanging branches,
e) missing rescue equipment,
f) other hazard.
4. The User’s visual inspection of the stand does not release the Operator from the obligation to properly maintain and inspect the infrastructure.
5. The User may not use the stand until the reported hazard has been inspected.
6. A maximum of 3 anglers and the number of accompanying persons accepted in the reservation may be present at one stand at the same time, subject to the permitted load and the conditions of the particular stand.
7. The maximum total load of a pier, including persons, equipment and other items, is 350 kg. This limit must not be exceeded, regardless of the number of persons on the pier.

a) do not obstruct an evacuation route,
b) do not impede access to rescue equipment,

2. The guardian is personally responsible for supervising the minor throughout the minor’s entire stay on the fishery premises.

b) use rescue equipment, except in an emergency,
c) light a fire,
d) move around the premises after dark.
5. A minor present on a pier, at a stand without a railing, on a steep bank or in another location designated by the Operator must wear a properly fitted buoyancy aid or life jacket appropriate to their body weight.
6. The Operator may also require an adult to wear a life jacket where this is justified by the conditions of the stand, the weather, the water level or a particular hazard.
7. A person with mobility, balance or orientation problems, a tendency to faint, or any other limitation that may increase the risk of falling into the water should use the fishery in the company of a person capable of providing assistance.

b) entering the water despite the prohibition,
c) entering an area excluded from use,

c) compliance with the Regulations,
d) the number of persons at a stand and compliance with the booking conditions.

1. An animal may be brought onto the premises only with the Operator’s consent or where the rules for the relevant stand expressly permit it.
2. The animal must remain under the constant control of its handler.

§ 16. Reservations, payments, changes and additional services
1. A reservation requires the information specified in the booking system to be provided and acceptance of the Regulations, booking conditions, price list and information on personal data processing.
2. The agreement is concluded when the User receives a reservation confirmation from the Operator and the required advance payment is credited, unless the reservation confirmation expressly provides otherwise.
3. The advance payment is 30% of the total reservation price. The User must pay the remaining balance by the deadline indicated in the reservation confirmation, but no later than before use of the stand begins.
4. The User may change the booking date free of charge if the change is requested at least 7 days before the stay begins and the new date is available. If the change is requested 3 to 6 days before the stay begins, 50% of the advance payment is transferred to the new date. If the change is requested less than 72 hours before the stay begins, the advance payment is forfeited.
5. If the User cancels the booking: a) at least 7 days before the date - the date may be changed free of charge; b) 3 to 6 days before the date - 50% of the advance payment is transferred to a new date; c) less than 72 hours before the date - the advance payment is forfeited, subject to mandatory provisions of law.
6. Failure by the User to attend without prior cancellation is treated as withdrawal from the service. The advance payment is then non-refundable and the Operator may make the stand available to other Users.
7. The User’s late arrival does not extend the reserved session or reduce the price. Voluntarily leaving the stand early does not provide grounds for a refund for unused time unless the reason was improper performance of the service by the Operator.
8. If the Operator closes the fishery or a stand before use begins or during use due to a thunderstorm, high water, infrastructure damage or another hazard, the User may choose a change of date or a refund of the appropriate part of the price paid for the unused service. This provision does not limit the consumer’s statutory rights.
9. A refundable deposit of PLN 200 is charged for the fish safety kit made available to the User. The deposit is refunded after the complete and undamaged kit is returned on time. The Operator may deduct from the deposit only the documented cost of missing or damaged items, taking normal wear and tear into account.
10. The basic reservation covers the number of persons and anglers stated in the confirmation. Participation by a third angler requires the Operator’s prior consent, availability of the stand and payment of the fee specified in the current price list.
11. Arrival in a motorhome or with a caravan, parking an additional car and using an electrical power connection require prior notification and express confirmation by the Operator. Availability of these services depends on the stand, technical and safety conditions, and may be subject to an additional fee in accordance with the price list.
12. Additional services and equipment are included in the reservation only if they are stated in the confirmation. Absence of prior confirmation does not guarantee their availability on site.
§ 17. Complaints
1. Complaints may be submitted:
a) in writing to the Operator’s address,
b) electronically to info@siedliska11.pl,
c) in person at the fishery service point.
2. A complaint should include contact details, a description of the event and the User’s request.
3. The Operator will consider the complaint within the period prescribed by applicable law.
4. Reporting an accident may not be made conditional on compliance with a particular form or on excessively burdensome formalities.
§ 18. Personal data and CCTV monitoring
1. Information about the personal data controller, the purposes and legal grounds for processing and the rights of data subjects is provided in a separate privacy notice.
2. The fishery premises may be covered by CCTV monitoring to protect life, health and property and to document incidents, provided that the monitored area is properly marked.
3. Monitoring does not cover places where a User may reasonably expect a particular degree of privacy.
§ 19. Final provisions
1. Matters not governed by the Regulations are subject to applicable law.
2. Disputes will be resolved by the court having jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law.
3. An amendment to the Regulations does not prejudice rights acquired by Users before the amendment takes effect.
4. The Operator may issue temporary safety notices and instructions arising from current weather, water conditions or the condition of the infrastructure.
5. Safety notices take precedence over the general rules of use, but may not limit the User’s rights arising under mandatory provisions of law.
6. Version 1.0 of the Regulations is effective from 01.08.2026.
7. The following form an integral part of the Regulations:
a) fishery plan and arrangement of stands - Fishery map
b) list of rescue equipment points and emergency procedure - Safety
c) angling rules and limits applicable to the relevant body of water - Angling regulations
d) price list - Price list
