3 Conclusion of contract/content of contract

1. The contract for the provision of hospitality shall come into effect after the innkeeper has checked availability by accepting the reservation (verbally or in writing) - at the latest by providing hospitality - of the guest. From this point in time, the innkeeper and the contracting party are bound to the hosting contract.
2. By providing the account or credit card details, the contracting party declares its express consent to the debiting of all fees incurred - in particular down payments and, if applicable, cancellation fees (in accordance with point 7) - without further consultation with the contracting party in the collection authorisation procedure of the selected payment method.
3. The basis for the remuneration shall be the prices stated in the innkeeper's price list current at the time of conclusion of the contract, as well as prices agreed individually by special arrangement.
4. For all reservations, the contracting party shall provide its full name (company), address, e-mail address (if available) and telephone number, as well as the exact number of guests to be catered for and the scope of the desired catering. By submitting the e-mail address, the contracting party also agrees to receive information material such as newsletters, offers, etc.
5. This data constitutes an essential part of the contract and is the basis for invoicing the contractual partner. Exceeding or falling short of the reserved number of persons is only permitted with the express consent of the innkeeper. The agreed number of guests shall be used as the basis for invoicing as a minimum number. If the agreed number of persons is exceeded with the consent of the proprietor, the actual number of guests shall be charged. If the number of guests falls short of the agreed number, the cancellation conditions set out in point 6 shall apply.
6. If no other agreement is made with regard to consumption, e.g. a flat rate, all beverages and food consumed shall be invoiced by the proprietor according to actual consumption and the order value according to the current price list and an amount of EUR 10/per reserved guest shall be deemed to be agreed as the minimum consumption, which shall also be payable in the event of non-utilisation of the catering services.

4. special regulations for contract conclusions with down payment

1. The innkeeper is entitled to conclude the catering contract on condition that the contracting party pays a deposit. In this case, the innkeeper is obliged to inform the contracting party of the required deposit before accepting the written or oral reservation of the contracting party. If the contracting party agrees to the down payment (in writing or verbally), the hosting contract shall come into effect upon successful debiting or payment of the down payment. Only from this point in time shall the hosting contract concluded on the condition of a down payment become binding on both sides. Until this point in time, the reservation can be cancelled by both parties free of charge and without giving reasons.
2. Upon acceptance of the offer by the innkeeper, the deposit shall become due for payment immediately, unless a later due date is agreed The costs for the money transaction (e.g. transfer charges) shall be borne by the contractual partner. For credit and debit cards, the respective conditions of the card companies apply.
3. The deposit is a partial payment on the agreed fee.

5. special rules for distance contracts

1. Electronic statements shall be deemed to have been received if the party for whom they are intended can retrieve them under ordinary circumstances and the receipt takes place during the innkeeper's announced business hours.

For the down payment, the innkeeper shall charge the credit card/account of the contracting party with the amount/percentage stated in the reservation conditions.
3. In the case of online bookings, reservations can only be made after the complete and correct entry of all mandatory fields in the reservation window and the express acceptance of the GTCG 2016 by means of the application provided in the reservation window.
4. The contracting party acknowledges that in the case of online reservations, the reservation process can no longer be cancelled or reversed once the button "Reserve with costs" has been pressed.
5. The contracting party is solely responsible for the correct entry/notification of the data. If the reservation process was only incorrect due to the entry/notification of incorrect or incomplete data, 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 contracting party must in any case submit the reservation confirmation, otherwise the hospitality may be refused by the innkeeper. The electronic reservation confirmation of the innkeeper serves as the only admissible proof of the duly made reservation and must therefore be carried by the contracting party and shown to the staff of the innkeeper in case of complaints.
6. The contracting party acknowledges that due to the necessary data transmissions via the Internet and other data lines, problems may exceptionally arise during the reservation without any legal consequences being derived therefrom.

6. withdrawal of the innkeeper from the catering contract
