1.2 The subletting or reletting of the rooms provided as well as their use for purposes other than accommodation shall require the prior consent of the hotel in text form, whereby Section 540 (1) sentence 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB) is waived insofar as the customer is not a consumer.

1.3 The customer's general terms and conditions shall only apply if this has been expressly agreed in advance.

 
2 CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT, CONTRACTING PARTIES, STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

2.1 The contracting parties are the hotel and the customer. The contract is concluded by the hotel's acceptance of the customer's application. The hotel is free to confirm the room reservation in text form.

2.2 All claims against the hotel are generally subject to a limitation period of one year from the start of the statutory limitation period. This does not apply to claims for damages and other claims, provided that the latter are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel.

 
3 SERVICES, PRICES, PAYMENT, SET-OFF

3.1 The hotel is obligated to keep the rooms booked by the customer available and to provide the agreed services.

3.2 The customer is obligated to pay the hotel's agreed or applicable prices for the provision of the rooms and the other services used by the customer. This also applies to services ordered by the customer directly or through the hotel, which are provided by third parties and paid for by the hotel.

3.3 The agreed prices include the taxes and local charges applicable at the time of the conclusion of the contract. Not included are local taxes that are owed by the guest according to the respective local law, such as visitor's tax. In the event of a change in the statutory value added tax or the introduction, amendment or abolition of local levies on the subject of performance after conclusion of the contract, the prices shall be adjusted accordingly. In the case of contracts with consumers, this shall only apply if the period between conclusion and performance of the contract exceeds four months.

The hotel may demand immediate payment of due receivables from the customer at any time. In the event of default of payment by the customer, the statutory provisions shall apply. The hotel reserves the right to prove higher damages.

3.6 The hotel is entitled to demand a reasonable advance payment or security deposit from the customer upon conclusion of the contract, for example in the form of a credit card guarantee.

In the case of advance payments or security deposits for package tours, the statutory provisions shall remain unaffected. In the event of default of payment by the customer, the statutory provisions shall apply.

3.7 In justified cases, for example payment arrears on the part of the customer or expansion of the scope of the contract, the hotel is entitled, even after conclusion of the contract until the beginning of the stay, to demand an advance payment or security deposit within the meaning of Item 3.6 above or an increase in the advance payment or security deposit agreed in the contract up to the full agreed remuneration.

3.8 The hotel is also entitled to demand from the customer an appropriate advance payment or security deposit within the meaning of Item 3.6 above for existing and future claims arising from the contract at the beginning of and during the stay, insofar as such a payment has not already been made in accordance with Item 3.6 above and/or Item 3.7 above.

4.3 If the right of withdrawal has already expired, there shall also be no statutory right of withdrawal or termination. If the hotel does not agree to a cancellation of the contract, the hotel shall retain the claim to the agreed remuneration despite the non-utilization of the service. The hotel shall credit the income from renting the rooms to other parties as well as the saved expenses. If the rooms are not rented to other parties, the hotel may make a lump-sum deduction for saved expenses. In this case, the customer is obligated to pay 80% of the contractually agreed price for overnight accommodation with or without breakfast as well as for package arrangements with third-party services. The customer is free to prove that the aforementioned claim has not arisen or has not arisen in the amount claimed.

 
5 CANCELLATION BY THE HOTEL

5.1 If it has been agreed that the customer may withdraw from the contract free of charge within a certain period of time, the hotel shall be entitled for its part to withdraw from the contract during this period if there are inquiries from other customers regarding the contractually reserved rooms and the customer does not waive its right to withdraw upon inquiry by the hotel with a reasonable deadline.

5.2 If an advance payment or security deposit agreed or requested pursuant to Section 3.6 and/or Section 3.7 is not made even after expiration of a reasonable grace period set by the hotel, the hotel shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract.

6.1 The customer shall not acquire any claim to the provision of specific rooms unless this has been expressly agreed.

6.2 Booked rooms shall be available to the customer from 2:00 p.m. on the agreed day of arrival. The customer has no right to earlier provision.

6.4 On the agreed departure day, the rooms must be vacated and made available to the hotel no later than 11:00 a.m. (with late check-out at 4:00 p.m.).

Contractual claims of the customer are not justified by this. The customer is at liberty to prove that the hotel has not incurred any or a significantly lower claim to a usage fee.

7.1 The hotel is liable for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health for which it is responsible. Furthermore, it shall be liable for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel or on an intentional or negligent breach of duties typical for the contract by the hotel.
