    use for other than for lodging purposes shall not permitted, Section 540 subsection 1 clause 2 of the

    German Civil Code [BGB] not being applicable if the customer is not a consumer. If the customer transfers

    the room to a third party for use he or she shall be liable for any of such third party’s default while using the

    room, even if the hotel has given its prior consent to such transfer for use. As a general rule, consent to

    transfer for use shall be subject to the third party acceding the customer’s liabilities under this contract as

    additional party liable.

3. Unless expressly agreed, none of the customer’s general terms and conditions shall apply.

1. Conclusion of Contract, Contracting Parties, Limitation Period
2. The contract shall be deemed to be concluded by the hotel’s acceptance of offer (confirmation).
3. The contracting parties shall be the hotel and the customer.
4. Any and all claims against the hotel shall be time-barred one year after commencement of the statutory

    period of limitation. Claims for damages shall be time-barred after five years regardless of the awareness

    of their existence, unless such claims are based on any injury of life, body or health. Any of the latter type of

    claims for damages as well as claims arising due to willful or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel or

    its agents shall be subject to the statutory period of limitation.

III. Performance, Rates, Payment, Set-Off

1. The hotel shall be obliged to provide the hotel rooms booked by the customer or alternatives thereof of

    equal value and to perform the services agreed.

2. The customer shall be obliged to pay the rates agreed and/or normally charged by the hotel for the rental

    use of the room as well as for any further deliveries and services used by the customer. This shall also apply

    to any services and expenses of the hotel to third parties caused by the customer.

3. The agreed rates shall be exclusive of statutory value added tax as applicable; the applicable value added

    tax as well as any applicable city tax or any other statutory levies and taxes shall be due in addition.

4. If the period of time between the conclusion of contract and the use of the service exceeds four months ad if

    meantime there is a rise of the normal rates charged by the hotel, the rate as agreed by contract may be

    subject to a reasonable increase, in any case not exceeding a maximum of 5%. For each further year of

    interval between conclusion and performance of contract beyond the said four months’ period, another 5%

    shall be added to the maximum limit of increase.

5. Hotel invoices bearing no due date shall be due net for payment within 10 days of receipt of the invoice. The

    amount of interest for default shall be subject to the relevant statutory provisions.

6. The hotel shall have the right to charge the customer 50% of the agreed rate two months prior to the use

    of the service, and 75% of the agreed rate if the customer has no legal residence in the country, as advance

    payment or security in the form of a credit card guarantee, a down payment or similar.

7. If justified, e.g. by the customer’s late payment or the increase of the value of contract, the hotel shall have

    the right even anytime after conclusion of contract and up to the beginning of the stay to ask for an advance

    payment or security in terms of the preceding section 6 or for an increase of the advance payment or

    security agreed in the contract up to the full amount of the rate agreed.

8. The booked rate shall be paid prior to the use of the service. Once the use of the service has started, the

    hotel shall in any case have the right to issue interim bills to be immediately settled by the customer at any

    time.

9. The customer may not set off any of the hotel’s claims against any of the customer’s claims unless such claims are uncontested or based on a final court decision and/or exercise a right of retention with respect to the hotel’s claims.

1. Customer’s Withdrawal
2. Prior to the beginning of the stay, the customer shall have the right to cancel the contract concluded at any

    time, unless otherwise agreed in the individual case. This shall be without prejudice to the customer’s right

    of withdrawal for cause in case the customer cannot reasonably be expected to maintain the contract.

    For any cancelations of contract, the customer shall be obliged to pay cancelation fees as follows:

– From the 20th to the 14th day prior to the beginning of the stay : 50% of the agreed rate

– From the 13th to the 7th day prior to the beginning of the stay : 75% of the agreed rate

– From the 6th day prior to the beginning of the stay: 85% of the agreed rate

    The cancelation fees shall be charged without value added tax (so-called nontaxable liquidated damages).

    The customer shall be free to prove that the claim has not arisen or has not arisen in the amount as charged.

    In case of an individual agreement that a cancelation right must be exercised within an agreed period of

    time, such right shall expire upon expiry of such period and the contract shall remain fully effective with the

    consequence that the customer shall be bound to pay the agreed consideration even if the customer does

    not use the ordered deliveries and services including but not limited to the booked rooms.

2. If and to the extent to which does not use any uncanceled rooms, the hotel shall set off any proceeds from

    alternative rental as well as the value of any saved expenses. In any such case, the customer shall be obliged

    to pay 90% of the rate agreed in the contract, in each case plus statutory value added tax (the so-called

    no-show fee). The customer shall be free to prove that the so-called claim has not arisen or not arisen in the

    amount as charged.

1. Hotel’s Withdrawal
2. If agreed by contract that the customer may cancel the contract free of charge within a given period of time,

    the hotel shall have the right to withdraw from the contract during such period of time whenever the booked

    rooms are requested by other customers if the first customer declines to waive his right of cancelation when

    asked to do so by the hotel.

2. If the customer fails to make any advance or security payment due even within a reasonable grace period

    fixed by the hotel, the hotel shall also have the right to withdraw. In any such case, the withdrawal shall not

    exclude the hotel’s right to claim damages from the customer. The amount of such damages shall be

    calculated in accordance with the amounts set forth in section IV.1 hereunder.

3. The hotel shall have the right to withdraw from the contract for a valid cause, a valid cause being deemed to

    be given by mutual agreement between the parties in any of the following events:

– in case of an event of Force Majeure or any other circumstance beyond the hotel’s control which prevents

    performance of the contract;

–   if rooms or other spaces are booked by culpably providing misleading or incorrect details material to the

    contract such as the customer’s personal data or the purpose of stay;

–   if the hotel has a justified reason to assume that the use of any services provided by the hotel might

    jeopardize the smooth business operation, safety or reputation of the hotel in public for reasons outside the

    hotel’s organization and sphere of control;

–   in case of non-compliance with section I.2 hereunder;

–   in case the purpose of or reason for the booking is against the law.

4. In case of the hotel’s justified withdrawal, the customer shall have no right to claim damages.

2. Unless expressly agreed in the individual case, the customer shall not acquire the right to be provided with

    any specific rooms.

    The customer shall have no right to claim any earlier availability.

3. On the agreed date of departure, the rooms shall be cleared and made available to the hotel by 12.00 noon

    at the latest. After this deadline, the hotel may charge for late clearing of the room and late check-out until

    06.00 p.m. 50% of the full room rate (scheduled price), if after 06.00 p.m. 100%. This shall not result in the

    customer acquiring any contractual claims. The customer shall be free to prove that the hotel has no right to

    claim the rental fee charged, or only a much smaller amount of rental fee than the amount charged.

4. The hotels have non-smoking rooms. For any additional cleaning cost due to smoking in non-smoking

    rooms, the guest shall be charged an overall amount of 120.00 €. The customer shall be free to prove that               

    the hotel has no right to claim any cleaning costs, or only a much smaller amount of cleaning costs than the

    amount charged.

5. The guest must not remove any of the hotel’s own furniture and equipment items including towels and

    bathrobes when checking-out from the hotel. Any infringement will be reported as theft and be liable to a

    civil claim for damages.

6. The customer shall be obliged to treat any premises provided with due caution and care. Should any

    excessive wear, damage and/or littering be found in the rooms, the hotel shall have the right to have any

    of these promptly removed by any companies of its choice at the customer’s expense. The customer further

    undertakes to assume any and all costs for repair work and/or replacement purchases, handling fees as well

    as down time costs incurred due to such damage.

VII. Hotel’s Liability

1. The hotel’s liability shall be limited to any damage caused by willful intent or gross negligence on the hotel’s

    part. This shall not apply to injury of the customer’s life, body or health not to claims arising from material

    breach of contract, i.e. any duties arising from the very nature of the contract and the breach of which would

    jeopardize the achievement of the purpose of the contract. Any breach of duty by the hotel’s legal

    representatives or agents shall be deemed tantamount to a breach of duty by the hotel. Customers shall be

    obliged on their part to reasonably cooperate in the removal of any disruptions or defects in order to

    mitigate any possible damage.

2. For any objects carried by the customer, the hotel shall be liable to the customer subject to the relevant

    statutory provisions, i.e. in an amount of up to one hundred times the accommodation rate, however not

    exceeding 3,500.00 €. For valuables (cash money, jewelry etc.), such liability shall be limited to 800.00 €.

    This shall not apply if the loss, destruction or damage is caused by the hotel or its agents with willful intent

    or gross negligence. The hotel management recommends keeping any such items optionally either in the

    room safe or in the hotel’s central safe.

3. If a parking space is provided to the customer in the hotel underground car park or on the hotel parking lot,

    one-sided modifications by the customer shall be deemed ineffective.

2. The place of performance and the place of payment shall be the place of location of the hotel.
3. The sole place of jurisdiction – even for disputes on checks and bills of exchange – shall be the place of

    location of the hotel in any case of commercial transactions. If one of the contracting parties is a consumer

    not having a general place of jurisdiction in the country, the place of jurisdiction shall be the place of

    location of the hotel.

    remaining provisions hereof as well as of the contract as a whole shall remain unaffected.
