If a third party has booked on behalf of the customer, the customer shall be liable to the hotel together with the third party as joint and several debtor for all obligations arising from the hotel accommodation contract, provided that the hotel has received a corresponding declaration from the third party. 3. all claims of the customer or the third party against the hotel shall generally become statute-barred 1 year after the commencement of the regular limitation period dependent on knowledge within the meaning of § 199 para. 1 BGB. However, claims for damages against the hotel shall become time-barred at the latest 3 years from the breach of duty, depending on knowledge, and at the latest 10 years from the breach of duty, regardless of knowledge. These reductions in the limitation period do not apply ... - to claims based on intent or gross negligence on the part of the hotel - including its vicarious agents. - in the case of negligently caused damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health. The shortened limitation periods do not apply to negligently caused property damage and financial loss in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation. Material contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment characterizes the contract and on which the customer may rely.

III. services, prices, payments, offsetting 1. the hotel is obliged to keep the rooms booked by the customer available and to provide the agreed services. 2. the customer is obliged to pay the hotel's applicable or agreed prices for the provision of the room and the other services used by him. This also applies to services and expenses of the hotel to third parties arranged by the customer. The agreed prices include the taxes and local charges applicable at the time the contract is concluded. Not included are local taxes that are owed by the guest according to the respective municipal 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 matter of the service after conclusion of the contract, the prices shall be adjusted accordingly. In the case of contracts with consumers, this shall only apply if the period between conclusion of the contract and fulfillment of the contract exceeds 4 months. 3. 3. the hotel may make its consent to a subsequent reduction in the number of rooms booked, the hotel's services or the duration of the customer's stay requested by the customer dependent on the price for the rooms or for the hotel's other services being increased. 4. invoices of the hotel without a due date are payable without deduction within 10 calendar days of receipt of the invoice.

In the event of late payment, the hotel is entitled to charge the applicable statutory default interest of currently 9 percentage points or, in the case of legal transactions in which a consumer is involved, 5 percentage points above the base interest rate. In addition, the hotel may charge a fee of €5 per reminder in the event of default. The hotel reserves the right to prove and assert higher damages. 5. the hotel is entitled to demand a reasonable advance payment or security deposit upon conclusion of the contract or thereafter, taking into account the legal provisions for package tours.

IV. withdrawal of the customer (cancelation, cancellation)/non-utilization of the hotel's services (no show) 1. withdrawal of the customer from the contract concluded with the hotel is only possible if a right of withdrawal has been expressly agreed in the contract or in these GTC, if another statutory right of withdrawal exists or if the hotel expressly agrees to the cancellation of the contract. The agreement of a right of withdrawal as well as any consent to a contract termination shall be made in text form. 2. if the hotel and the customer have agreed on a date for a cost-free withdrawal from the contract (option), the customer may withdraw from the contract up to that date without incurring payment or damage compensation claims by the hotel. The customer's right of withdrawal shall expire if he does not exercise his right of withdrawal vis-à-vis the hotel in text form by the agreed date. 3. if a right of withdrawal has not been agreed or has already expired, there is also no statutory right of withdrawal or termination and the hotel does not agree to a cancellation of the contract, the hotel shall retain the claim to the agreed remuneration despite non-utilization of the service. The hotel must offset the income from renting the rooms to other parties as well as the expenses saved. 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 90 % of the contractually agreed price for overnight accommodation with or without breakfast and for package arrangements with third-party services, 70 % for half-board and 60 % for full-board arrangements. The customer is at liberty to prove that the claim did not arise or did not arise in the amount claimed. 4. if the hotel calculates the compensation specifically, the maximum amount of compensation shall be the amount of the contractually agreed price for the service to be provided by the hotel, less the value of the expenses saved by the hotel and what the hotel acquires through other uses of the hotel services. 5. the above provisions on compensation shall apply accordingly if the guest does not make use of the booked room or the booked services without notifying the hotel in good time (no show). 6. the hotel is entitled to charge the guest the agreed remuneration less the flat-rate expenses saved and to withhold it from the deposit, insofar as this has been paid.

V. Withdrawal of the hotel 1. if it has been agreed that the customer can withdraw from the contract free of charge within a certain period, the hotel is also entitled to withdraw from the contract free of charge in text form during this period if there are inquiries from other customers about the contractually booked rooms and the customer does not waive his right to withdraw from the contract within 2 weeks upon inquiry by the hotel. If the guest fails to act within this period, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract. This applies accordingly if an option has been granted, if other inquiries have been received and the customer is not prepared to make a firm booking after the hotel has set a deadline of 2 weeks. 2. if an agreed advance payment or security deposit or one demanded in accordance with III. clause 5 is not made even after a reasonable grace period of 5 working days set by the hotel has expired, the hotel is also entitled to withdraw from the contract. 3. furthermore, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract extraordinarily for objectively justified reasons, in particular if ... - force majeure or other circumstances for which the hotel is not responsible make it impossible to fulfill the contract; - rooms are culpably booked under misleading or false information or concealment of material facts (e.g. in the person of the customer, the solvency or the purpose of the stay); - the hotel has justified cause to believe that the use of the hotel's services may jeopardize the smooth operation, security or public reputation of the hotel, without this being attributable to the hotel's sphere of control or organization; - a violation of I. Section 2; - the hotel has issued the guest with a house ban. 4. in the event of justified withdrawal by the hotel, the customer shall not be entitled to claim damages. VI Room provision, handover and return 1. the customer does not acquire any claim to the provision of specific rooms, unless this has been expressly agreed. 2. booked rooms are available to the customer from 3 p.m. on the agreed day of arrival at the earliest. Booked country houses/apartments are available to the customer from 5 p.m. on the agreed day of arrival at the earliest. The customer is not entitled to earlier availability. 3. on the agreed day of departure, the rooms must be vacated and made available to the hotel by 12.00 noon at the latest. The country houses/apartments must be made available to the hotel by 10.00 a.m. at the latest on the agreed day of departure. Thereafter, in the event of late vacating of the room/country house or apartment, the hotel may charge 50% of the currently valid daily room rate for its use in excess of the contract until 6 p.m., and 100% from 6 p.m. onwards. This shall not give rise to any contractual claims on the part of the customer. The customer is at liberty to prove that the hotel has no or a significantly lower claim to a usage fee. Furthermore, the hotel reserves the right to prove and assert higher damages.

VII Liability of the hotel 1. in the event of damage caused, the hotel shall be liable for intent and gross negligence - including that of its vicarious agents - in accordance with the statutory provisions. The same applies to negligently caused damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health. In the event of damage to property and financial loss caused by negligence, the hotel and its vicarious agents shall only be liable in the event of a breach of a material contractual obligation, but limited in amount to the damage foreseeable and typical for the contract at the time of conclusion of the contract; material contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment characterizes the contract and on which the customer may rely. Should disruptions or defects occur in the hotel's services, the hotel shall endeavor to remedy such upon knowledge thereof or upon immediate complaint by the customer. The customer is obliged to do what can reasonably be expected of him to remedy the disruption and minimize any possible damage, and to notify the hotel immediately of any disruptions or damage. 2. the hotel shall be liable to the customer for items brought into the hotel in accordance with the statutory provisions of §§ 701 et seq. BGB up to a maximum amount of € 3,500. For money, securities and valuables, the amount of € 800 shall replace the amount of € 3,500. If the guest wishes to bring in money, securities and valuables with a value of more than € 800 or other items with a value of more than € 3,500, this requires a separate storage agreement with the hotel. Storage in the hotel or room safe is generally recommended. For any further liability of the hotel, the above provision of VII. clause 1 applies. 3. If the customer is provided with a parking space in the hotel garage or in a hotel parking lot - even for a fee - this does not constitute a safekeeping agreement. In the event of loss of or damage to motor vehicles parked or maneuvered on the hotel property and their contents, the hotel shall only be liable in accordance with VII. clause 1. 4. Wake-up calls shall be carried out by the hotel with the utmost care. Messages, mail and consignments of goods for customers are also handled with the utmost care. The hotel shall be responsible for delivery and storage (in each case at the hotel) and - on request - for forwarding the same for a fee. Section 1 above shall apply accordingly.

VIII Final provisions 1. amendments or additions to the contract, the acceptance of the application or these General Terms and Conditions for the Hotel Accommodation Contract shall be made in text form. Unilateral amendments or additions by the customer are invalid. 2. place of performance and payment is the registered office of the respective hotel. 3. exclusive place of jurisdiction - also for check and bill of exchange disputes - is Cologne in commercial transactions. If a contractual partner fulfills the requirements of § 38 paragraph 2 ZPO and has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction shall be the registered office of the hotel. 4 German law shall apply exclusively. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the conflict of laws is excluded. 5. should individual provisions of these general terms and conditions for the hotel accommodation contract be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Otherwise, the statutory provisions shall apply.
