Conclusion of contract, special provisions for the conclusion of distance contracts, down payment -
The Accommodation Agreement shall be concluded upon acceptance of the Party's order by the Proprietor. Electronic declarations shall be deemed to have been received if the party for whom they are intended can retrieve them under normal circumstances and if they are received during the published business hours of the accommodation provider.
The basis for the fee shall be the prices stated in the current price list of the accommodation provider at the time of conclusion of the contract, as well as prices agreed individually by special agreement.
Acceptance by the Proprietor in the case of bookings made by means of distance communication shall be effected exclusively by means of a reservation confirmation by the Proprietor by e-mail.
In case of doubt, verbal communications by the Proprietor - even at the request of the Guest - shall be non-binding and shall serve to prepare the conclusion of the contract even if prices, periods or other specifications are communicated therein.
-
In the case of online bookings, a reservation can only be made after all mandatory fields in the reservation window have been entered completely and correctly and the AGBH 2006 have been expressly acknowledged using the application provided in the reservation window.
The contractual partner is solely responsible for the correct entry/provision of the data. If the reservation process was only incorrect due to incorrect or incomplete data being entered/notified, the booking can either be corrected with the help of the innkeeper or another reservation confirmation can be issued. In all cases of complaint, the contractual partner must in any case present the reservation confirmation, as otherwise the hospitality can be refused by the innkeeper. The electronic reservation confirmation of the innkeeper serves as the only admissible proof of a properly made reservation and must therefore be carried by the contractual partner and presented to the innkeeper's staff in the event of complaints.
In the course of the reservation process, the full booking amount is due without delay (immediately). -
The Proprietor shall be entitled to conclude the Accommodation Agreement by individual agreement with the Party with a partial payment option for the full booking amount.

The rented rooms shall be vacated by the Party by 10.00 a.m. on the day of departure. The Proprietor shall be entitled to charge an additional day if the rented rooms are not vacated in due time.
