The agreed prices include the taxes and local charges applicable at the time of the conclusion of the contract. Not included are local taxes, which 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.

4.1
Unilateral cancellation by the customer of the contract concluded with the hotel is only possible if a right of withdrawal has been expressly agreed in the contract or a statutory right of withdrawal or termination exists.

4.2
If the hotel and the customer have agreed on a date for the cost-free withdrawal from the contract, the customer may withdraw from the contract until then without triggering payment or damage claims by the hotel. The customer's right to withdraw from the contract expires if he does not exercise this right in text form vis-à-vis the hotel by the agreed date.

If a right of withdrawal has not been agreed or has already expired and there is also no statutory right of withdrawal or termination, the hotel retains the claim to the agreed remuneration despite the non-utilization of the service.

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 obliged to pay 80% of the contractually agreed price for overnight accommodation with or without breakfast. The customer is free to prove that the aforementioned claim did not arise or did not arise in the amount claimed.

 

5. withdrawal of the hotel

5.1
If it was agreed that the customer can withdraw from the contract free of charge within a certain period, the hotel is entitled for its part to withdraw from the contract during this period if there are inquiries from other customers for the contractually booked rooms and the customer does not waive his right to withdraw upon inquiry by the hotel with a reasonable deadline. This applies accordingly in the case of granting an option, if other inquiries exist and the customer is not prepared to make a firm booking upon inquiry by the hotel with a reasonable deadline.

5.2
If an advance payment or security deposit agreed or demanded pursuant to Section 3.5 and/or Section 3.6 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.

5.3
Furthermore, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract extraordinarily for factually justified reasons, in particular if

    • force majeure or other circumstances beyond the control of the hotel make it impossible to fulfill the contract;
    • rooms or rooms are culpably booked with misleading or false information or concealment of material facts; material may be the identity of the customer, the ability to pay or the purpose of the stay;
    • the hotel has reasonable grounds to believe that the use of the service may jeopardize the smooth operation of the business, the safety or the reputation of the hotel in public, without this being attributable to the hotel's sphere of control or organization;
    • the purpose or reason for the stay is unlawful;
    • there is a violation of the above-mentioned clause 1.2.

5.4
The justified withdrawal of the hotel does not justify a claim for damages by the customer. Should the hotel have a claim for damages against the customer in the event of a withdrawal in accordance with Clause 5.2 or 5.3 above, the hotel may make a lump-sum payment for such damages. Clause 4.3 shall apply accordingly in this case.

The hotel is liable for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health for which it is responsible.

Typical contractual obligations are those obligations that make the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the fulfillment of which the customer relies and may rely. A breach of duty by the hotel is equivalent to a breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent. Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise provided for in this clause 7. In the event of disruptions or deficiencies in the hotel's services, the hotel shall endeavor to remedy such upon knowledge thereof or upon immediate complaint by the customer.
