General
terms pertaining to rental
and payment |
Before
booking a holiday trip, you should definitely take some time to read the
information below. For a relaxing and inspiring holiday what you
inevitably need is a clearly set out legal situation such as you will
find in our general terms pertaining to rental and payment.
The
rules below are incorporated into the rental contract you will be
signing with us.
By
registering with us you irrevocably offer us the conclusion of the
rental contract. |
CONTRACT
Your registration may be
made personally, by telephone or in writing. The conclusion of the
contract is subject to our acceptance of the same. We will inform you
about our acceptance (which requires no specific form) by sending you
your booking confirmation and the invoice.
If
you should not be in possession of our general terms pertaining to
rental and payment when registering by phone, we will send the
aforementioned to you along with the booking confirmation and the
invoice.
If
you do not lodge an appeal against these within ten days after receipt (or,
in the case of bookings at short notice, without further delay) the
contract will be considered concluded incorporating all stated terms and
conditions.
The information provided about your good selves will
be protected according to the German legislation pertaining to data
privacy protection.
On conclusion or
immediately after conclusion of the contract you will receive the
booking confirmation. Should the content of the confirmation differ from
the content of your registration please consider this to be a new offer
to which we are subject for ten days. In this case the contract will be
concluded when you confirm your acceptance within the above mentioned
period and on the basis of the newly stipulated terms. Your payment will
also be regarded as the acceptance of the contract between us.
Please inform us without
further delay if you should not have received your booking documents 5
days before the rental period stipulated in the contract begins. In this
case we will forward the documents to you immediately, provided that the
payment has already been effected. If you do not inform us and do not
make use of the rental contract concluded due to the fact that the
rental documents are missing we will have to regard this as non-fulfillment of the contract and hold you responsible for all expenses
occurring due to this non-fulfillment.
|
Payment
30%
of the invoice amount is to be transferred to our account within one
week of receipt of the booking confirmation and the invoice. The balance
is to be paid six weeks before the beginning of the rental period
without prior notice.
Should
we not be able to confirm your registration or should you not have
accepted an alternative offer we will immediately refund your payments
provided these have already been effected.
Should you not have effected the agreed payment,
even after having been urged to pay, or should full payment not have
been effected by the beginning of the rental period we are entitled to
cancel the contract and invoice you for compensation which will cover
the cancellation fees, provided that at this time, you do not have a
rightful claim for rental defect legitimating your cancellation.

having received your balance payment we will forward the documents

Cancellation
You
are entitled to resign from the rental contract at any time before the
beginning of your trip.
For
your own sake, to prevent misunderstandings, we strongly recommend you
declare your cancellation in a writing. The day we receive your
cancellation will count as the date of cancellation.
If you cancel the rental contract or you do not take
advantage of the same, we are entitled to reasonable compensation for
our provisions and expenses. In the compensation calculation we will
consider the cost not incurred and the possibility of any alternative
use of our rental services.

30%

Force
Majeure
Should unpredictable
circumstances at the time of the conclusion of the contract (i.e. in
case of force majeure) complicate, endanger or impede taking advantage
of the rental contract, both parties are entitled to cancel the contract
in accordance with §651BGB.
|
Guarantee
Should
a contractual service not be delivered as stipulated in the contract, or
not at all, you may demand it be delivered within reasonable time. The
service we may then provide you with may, in fact, be of the same or a
higher quality than that agreed up on. We are entitled to refuse this
demand in case it implies unreasonable expense or trouble. You have the
right to claim for reduction of the rental price if you have not been
supplied with the contractual service and if you have not purposely
omitted to inform us.
Should
your stay be seriously impaired due to a rental
defect and we do not remedy the situation within reasonable time
or if remedying it is not possible or refused by us or because the
cancellation of the contract is justified for a specific legitimate
reason on your part then you are entitled to cancel the rental contract
in accordance with legal ruling.
According
to the legal rules, when a defect of service actually takes place you
are requested to do everything necessary to cooperate to remove the
defect and to keep possible damages at the lowest level.
Our housekeeper is by no means allowed to accept any
kind of claim.

Passport
and Visa Terms
Please find out in due
time about entry and/or transit terms and conditions for the various
countries you will be
traveling
through. All disadvantages arising due
to your failure to do so cannot be taken into consideration in the
context of rental and/or our contract.
|
Insurance
We strongly recommend you
to take out a travel cancellation insurance which is not included in the
rental contract. A family liability insurance including a rental damages
clause is also advisable as the tenant and people accompanying him are
held liable for all damages inflicted on or in the building. You are
requested to treat the building with all due care. Damages occurring
during the rental period are to be reported to us in writing immediately.
|
Liability
Should we be responsible
for any rental defect you may hold us
liable to the repayment of a maximum sum amounting to no more than the
rent paid.

The
apartment and studios may only be occupied by the number of people
stated in your booking confirmation. We have to be informed about any
changes concerning the names and numbers of people in advance of the
rental period. We have the right of veto as far as these changes are
concerned.
Bringing along dogs or other pets requires our
explicit permission in advance. Should other agreements be made, these
will have to be recorded in writing. We or our housekeeper are entitled
to reject all people or animals or pets not stated in the booking
confirmation.
