Bookings received by the hotel after the agreed date can only be considered if there is sufficient availability.
4. Extraordinary termination of contingent and event bookings
Upon conclusion of the contract the hotel holds the agreed room contingent and booked conference rooms for the customer. The hotel shall be entitled to give extraordinary notice of termination under observance of customer interests and a notice period of 1 week if
(a) the reasonable presumption arises that the organizers will endanger and disturb the smooth running of hotel operations due to the event programme which has become known after the conclusion of the contract.
b) the reputation as well as the safety of the hotel will be endangered and these circumstances have only become known after conclusion of the contract.
c) in the case of force majeure (see section 16)

5. Cancellation policy for group, event, and corporate customer bookings
Upon conclusion of the contract the hotel holds the agreed room contingent (min. 12 rooms) and any conference rooms that may have been booked for the customer. The hotel room and group contingent / the event may be cancelled in writing by both parties at no charge up until (including) the 90th day prior to arrival / start of the event. Cancellations at a later date incur the following charges by the organizer/customer:
- from the 89th – 60th day prior to the arrival date: 10% of the expected total sales
according to quotation and calculation
- From the 59th – 31st day prior to the arrival date: 30% of the expected total sales
according to quotation and calculation
- From the 30th – 15th day prior to the arrival date: 50% of the expected total sales
according to quotation and calculation
- From the 14th – 03rd day prior to the arrival date: 80% of the expected total sales
according to quotation and calculation
- from 48 hours prior to arrival: 100% of the expected total sales according to quotation and calculation
Cancellation fees will only be charged at the full rate if the hotel cannot resell the rooms and banqueting halls. If a confirmed booking is cancelled by the organizer, any preparation costs that have already been incurred, particularly from the rental of technical equipment, band bookings etc., shall be borne in full by the organizer.
6. Reduction of the room contingent
From the 89th – 31st day prior to the arrival date 30% of the contingent booked three months prior to arrival may be cancelled free of charge. From the 30th day up to 48 hours prior to the arrival date the hotel will accept a 10% cancellation of the contingent booked one month prior to arrival free of charge. Cancellations placed within 48 hours prior to the arrival date cannot be accepted free of charge. For cancellations outside this scope the room rate shall be charged for the entire length of the stay if the hotel room cannot be re-let.
7. Guaranteed number for conferences and banquets / minimum calculation
The organizer must notify the hotel with regard to the final number (guaranteed number = minimum calculation) of participants of an event no later than five working days prior to the event as a careful execution can otherwise no longer be guaranteed. The invoice will be based on the guaranteed number. Downward deviations of the number of participants in comparison to the guaranteed number cannot be taken into account for invoicing. For upward deviations of the number of participants the invoice shall be based on the actual number of participants. Should the guaranteed number be exceeded by more than 5%, it may not be possible to serve the desired menu. If the hotel is not notified of the guaranteed number up to three business days prior to the event, the agreed minimum calculation stated in the contract will automatically be designated as guaranteed number.
8. Cancellation of individual bookings (withdrawal, cancellation or non-utilization of hotel services) Cancellations made by a customer/guest require the consent and authorization of the hotel (preferably in writing). If this is not the case, the price agreed in the contract shall be paid even if the customer does not use the services specified in the contract. If a free-of-charge contract cancellation date has been agreed upon in writing between the hotel and customer, the customer may cancel the contract until that date without payment or compensation requests by the hotel. Revenues from the re-letting of rooms not used by the customer, as well as saved expenses are to be credited by the hotel. The hotel is at liberty to charge the contractually agreed fees and to credit saved expenses at a fixed rate. In this case the customer is obliged to pay at least 90% of the contractually agreed price for overnight stays incl. breakfast, 70% for half board (dinner arrangements) and 60% for packages and other arrangements. The guest is at liberty to show that the above stated claim has not arisen or not incurred the amount demanded.

12. Organization of events
Pursuant to a separate agreement with the hotel, the organizer is entitled to bring objects to the rooms provided by the hotel for the purpose of exhibition, presentation, offering or for demonstration purposes or for use as media.
The organizer thereby has to exercise the greatest possible consideration for the hotel operation and the protection of the hotel, fixtures and guests. The exhibitor is obliged to treat the building, furnishings, fixtures, facilities and equipment of the hotel with great care. The insertion of wall fixings is not permitted without the express consent of the hotel. The organizer is liable for any infringement, any damage and any unusual wear and tear caused by the use of the hotel or by the installation and dismantling of exhibits and exhibition media, regardless of whether the damage was caused by the organizer himself, his employees, vicarious agents or his visitors. The items brought into the hotel by the organizer for the purpose of his event are considered part of the hospitality arrangement. The same applies if third parties (e.g. employees, staff members, representatives, agents, customers or business partners of the organizer) take such items to the hotel. The hotel's liability regarding damages incurred by the organizer, be it damages to items introduced to the hotel by the organizer or his people or be it due to the non-fulfillment of the hotel's duties, is excluded for cases of minor negligence by the hotel and its people; gross negligence and intent are limited to a maximum amount of € 1,000 for all damages on one event. This also applies in case the hotel has allocated special lockable facilities to the organizer for the temporary storage of goods. The use of our hotel safe is hereby recommend.

14. Deposits
Deposits of 30% (of the expected total sales) required by the contract hotel are to be made by the 21st day prior to arrival; if this has been agreed in the booking confirmation, the hotel enters a contractual obligation only if the deposit is paid by the agreed date. The agreed deposits are non-refundable and may be offset against the actual invoice amounts. If the hotel is able to re-sell the rooms and event facilities in case of a cancellation (by the customer), the deposit amounts shall be returned after deduction of cancellation fees in accordance with sections 4-6 (see above).). The deposits are payable to the respective bank account of the hotel.
15. Payment of invoices
All invoices are due net within 7 days from invoice date. Payment must be effected by bank transfer to the bank account specified in section 14. If the invoice amounts have not been settled after 30 days, the hotel reserves the right to charge 3% of the amount per month plus payment reminder charges and/or the legally permissible maximum interest rate. The debtor shall bear all the costs incurred in the debt collection case.
