§ 1 . Validity of the GTC (1) These General Terms and Conditions of Accommodation apply to contracts for the rental of vacation apartments for accommodation as well as all other services and deliveries provided to the guest by the provider.

Deviations from these terms and conditions are only effective if the provider has expressly confirmed them in writing.

§ 2 . Accommodation Contract (1) The accommodation contract comes into effect when the provider confirms the guest's booking request by telephone or in writing by mail, e-mail and/or fax and thus accepts the booking (acceptance of request). (2) Contractual partners are the provider and the guest. If a third party has ordered for the guest, he is liable to the provider together with the guest as joint and several debtors for all obligations arising from this contract, provided that the provider has a corresponding declaration from the third party. (3) The guest is obliged to check the booking confirmation for accuracy.

The vacation apartment corresponds to the equipment standard of an average rental apartment. The provider assumes a warranty only for expressly promised features, but not for the subjective quality of the equipment (e.g. ventilation). (2) The guest is obligated to pay the applicable or agreed prices of the provider for the provision of the vacation apartment and the other services used by him. This also applies to services and expenses of the provider to third parties arranged by the guest. (3) The guest is obliged to provide truthful information about the number of persons occupying the vacation apartment. The vacation apartment is available for a maximum of the number of persons stated in the booking confirmation according to § 2 para. 1. The occupancy with a number of persons exceeding this number requires the prior written consent of the Provider. In this case, the price for the provision of the vacation apartment increases to the price generally charged by the Provider for the corresponding occupancy. (4) If the period between the conclusion of the contract and the fulfillment of the contract exceeds four months and if the price generally charged by the Provider for such services increases, the Provider may increase the contractually agreed price appropriately, but by a maximum of 10%. (5) The payment of the price agreed for the provision of the vacation apartment as well as for the further services agreed with the guest is due at the latest on the day of arrival when the keys are handed over. It must be made in cash at this time, unless the provider has expressly agreed to a different method of payment with the guest. EC and credit cards cannot be accepted as means of payment on site. (6) The provider reserves the right to demand an appropriate advance payment from the guest prior to arrival on the price agreed for the provision of the vacation apartment as well as the other services agreed with the guest. If an advance payment is required with the booking confirmation according to § 2 para. 1, this is due on the 8th day after the transmission of the booking confirmation. If the Provider is unable to record receipt of payment by the 8th day after transmission of the booking confirmation, and if payment is also not made after expiry of a reasonable grace period set by the Provider with a threat of refusal, the Provider is entitled to withdraw from the contract; he must notify the Guest of this in writing. § Section 5 (3) shall then apply accordingly with the proviso that the 8th day after the transmission of the booking confirmation shall be deemed the day of cancellation. (7) The guest can only offset an undisputed or legally established claim against a claim of the provider. 

§ 4 . General rights and obligations; house rules (1) The guest must treat the vacation apartment and its inventory with care. The guest is obliged to observe the house rules.

The guest shall be solely liable for any decoration or the like that is nevertheless installed and/or attached and shall indemnify the provider against claims of third parties. He is also obliged to compensate for damages caused by the installation or attachment of decorations or the like. (7) The Provider has the right of access to the vacation apartment at any time, especially in case of imminent danger. When exercising the right of access, the guest's interests worthy of protection are to be given appropriate consideration. The provider will inform the guest about the exercise of the right of access in advance, unless this is not reasonable or impossible for him under the circumstances of the individual case. 

§ 5 . Withdrawal from the contract (cancellation) (1) A withdrawal of the guest from the contract concluded with the provider requires the written consent of the provider. If this is not done, the agreed price from the contract must be paid even if the customer does not use contractual services. This does not apply in cases of delay in performance by the provider or an impossibility of performance for which he is responsible. (2) The guest can, without triggering payment or damage claims of the provider, withdraw from the contract only if the possibility of withdrawal was agreed in writing between him and the provider by a certain date. This right of withdrawal of the guest expires if he does not exercise his right of withdrawal in writing to the provider by the agreed date, unless there is a case of default in performance by the provider or an impossibility of performance for which he is responsible. (3) Without triggering claims for payment or damages by the provider, the guest is entitled to cancel up to 30 days before arrival, otherwise according to the following conditions: Cancellation up to the latest amount of the accommodation price to be paid 30 days before arrival 0 % 25 to 29 days before arrival 20 % 15 to 24 days before arrival 40 % 10 to 14 days before arrival 60 % 5 to 9 days before arrival 80 % < 5 days before arrival 100 % Cancellations must be made in writing to the provider, unless the provider agrees to a verbal cancellation.

Paragraph 3 shall apply accordingly. In addition, the Provider may demand an administrative fee of € 100.00 (net) from the Guest. (6) If a right of withdrawal of the guest within a certain period of time was agreed upon in writing according to paragraph 2, the provider is entitled for his part to withdraw from the contract within this period of time, if there are inquiries of other guests for the contractually booked vacation apartment and the guest does not waive his right of withdrawal upon inquiry of the provider. (7) Furthermore, the Provider is entitled to withdraw from the contract for factually justified reasons or to terminate the contract extraordinarily if, for example, a) force majeure or other circumstances for which the Provider is not responsible make the fulfillment of the contract impossible, b) the vacation apartment was booked under misleading or false information of essential facts, e.g. regarding the person of the Guest or regarding the purpose or regarding the occupancy or regarding the c) the vacation apartment is used for other than residential purposes, d) the provider has reasonable grounds to believe that the use of the service endangers the safety or peace of other guests or neighbors or the reputation of the provider in public, without this being attributable to the control or organization of the provider.

In cases of paragraph 7 a), the Provider shall immediately refund any rental payments and/or advance payments already made. In the event of justified withdrawal or justified termination by the Provider, the Guest shall not be entitled to any compensation. The Guest shall compensate the Provider for all damages for which the Guest is responsible due to a withdrawal or extraordinary termination pursuant to para. 7.

The guest is obligated to contribute what is reasonable for him to eliminate the disruption or defect and to keep any possible damage to a minimum. (2) The Provider shall not be liable for items brought in by the Guest; they shall not be considered as brought-in items in the sense of §§ 701 f. BGB. A liability of the provider according to these regulations is thus expressly excluded. This also expressly applies to valuables that the guest keeps and/or leaves in the vacation apartment. (3) The guest is liable for all damages that he, his fellow travelers or his visitors in the house of the vacation apartment, in the vacation apartment and / or on the inventory of the vacation apartment has / have culpably caused.

(3) The provider may require the payment of a deposit in the amount of 150.00 € upon arrival. The provider will refund this deposit upon timely vacating the apartment and return of all keys on the day of departure, unless otherwise agreed with the guest and provided that the apartment shows no damage for which the guest is responsible. In the event of further damage to the vacation apartment and/or inventory, the guest shall pay the cash amount required for compensation on site (§ 249 para. 2 BGB). (5) On the day of departure, the guest must vacate the apartment by 11:00 a.m. at the latest. In case of late vacating of the vacation apartment, the provider is entitled to an additional payment from the guest.
