General Terms and Conditions for Hotel Accommodation

 

I. Scope of Applicability

1. These terms and conditions apply to contracts for the rental of hotel rooms by Hotel Huntetal GmbH & Co. KG, hereinafter referred to as Wildeshauser Hof, for lodging purposes, as well as to all other goods and services rendered by Wildeshauser Hof to the customer in this context (Hotel Accommodation Contract). They do not apply to package holidays within the meaning of § 651a of the German Civil Code (BGB).

2. The subletting or re-letting of the provided rooms, the use of the provided hotel rooms for purposes other than accommodation, public invitations or other promotional measures for job interviews, sales, and similar events, and the use of hotel areas outside the rented rooms for the aforementioned events require the prior express consent of Wildeshauser Hof and may be made subject to the payment of an additional fee. The right of termination pursuant to § 540 para. 1 sentence 2 BGB is waived.

3. The customer's general terms and conditions shall only apply if this has been expressly agreed in advance.

 

II. Conclusion of Contract, Duty to Inform

1. The contract is concluded by Wildeshauser Hof's acceptance of the customer's application. Wildeshauser Hof is free to confirm the room reservation in text form. In the event of a booking via the Wildeshauser Hof website, the contract is concluded by clicking the "Book now with obligation to pay" (Jetzt kostenpflichtig buchen) button.

2. The customer is obliged to inform Wildeshauser Hof proactively, at the latest upon conclusion of the contract, if the use of the hotel service is likely to jeopardize the smooth operation of the business, the safety, or the public reputation of Wildeshauser Hof.

 

III. Services, Prices, Payment, Set-off

1. The customer is obligated to pay the agreed or applicable prices of Wildeshauser Hof for the room rental and other services used. This also applies to services ordered by the customer directly or via Wildeshauser Hof, which are provided by third parties and paid for in advance by Wildeshauser Hof.

2. The agreed prices include the taxes and local fees applicable at the time the contract is concluded. Local fees owed by the guest according to respective municipal laws, such as visitor's tax (Kurtaxe), are not included. In the event of a change in statutory value-added tax or the introduction, change, or abolition of local fees on the subject of performance after the contract has been concluded, the prices will be adjusted accordingly.

3. If payment upon invoice has been agreed, payment must be made – subject to a different agreement – within ten days of receipt of the invoice without deduction. The customer agrees that the invoice may be transmitted electronically.

4. For each reminder after default occurs, the customer must reimburse Wildeshauser Hof for reminder costs in the amount of € 5. The customer is free to prove that no costs or significantly lower costs were incurred. For customers who are not consumers, Wildeshauser Hof may instead assert a claim under § 288 para. 5 BGB.

5. For each invoice correction, we charge a service fee of € 8 unless the reason for the correction is our responsibility. The customer is free to prove that no costs or significantly lower costs were incurred.

6. Wildeshauser Hof is entitled to request an appropriate advance payment or security deposit, for example in the form of a credit card guarantee, from the customer upon conclusion of the contract. The amount of the advance payment and the payment dates can be agreed upon in text form in the contract.

7. In justified cases, for example, payment arrears by the customer or expansion of the scope of the contract, Wildeshauser Hof is entitled, even after the conclusion of the contract and until the start of the stay, to request an advance payment or security deposit within the meaning of the above No. 5 or an increase in the advance payment or security deposit agreed in the contract up to the full agreed remuneration.

8. Wildeshauser Hof is further entitled to request an appropriate advance payment or security deposit within the meaning of the above No. 5 from the customer at the beginning of and during the stay, provided such a payment has not already been made in accordance with the above Nos. 5 and/or 6.

9. The customer may only set off or offset a claim by Wildeshauser Hof against a claim that is undisputed or legally established.

 

IV. Withdrawal/Cancellation by the Customer ("Cancellation") / Failure to Use Hotel Services ("No Show")

1. A unilateral dissolution of the contract concluded with Wildeshauser Hof by the customer is only possible if a right of withdrawal was expressly agreed in the contract or if a statutory right of withdrawal or termination exists. The agreement of a right of withdrawal as well as the possible consent of Wildeshauser Hof to a contract cancellation must each be in text form.

2. If a date for a free withdrawal has been agreed, the customer may withdraw from the contract up to that date without incurring payment or damage claims by Wildeshauser Hof. The customer's right of withdrawal expires if he does not exercise it in text form towards Wildeshauser Hof by the agreed date.

3. If a right of withdrawal has not been agreed or has already expired, and if there is no statutory right of withdrawal or termination, and if Wildeshauser Hof does not agree to a contract cancellation, Wildeshauser Hof retains the claim to the agreed remuneration despite the non-utilization of the service. Wildeshauser Hof must credit the income from renting the rooms to other parties as well as the saved expenses. If the rooms are not rented to other parties, Wildeshauser Hof can demand the contractually agreed remuneration and apply a flat-rate 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 as well as for package arrangements with third-party services, and 70% for half-board arrangements. The customer is free to prove that the aforementioned claim has not arisen or has not arisen in the required amount.

 

V. Withdrawal by Wildeshauser Hof

1. If it has been contractually agreed that the customer can withdraw from the contract free of charge up to a certain date, Wildeshauser Hof is also entitled to withdraw from the contract wholly or in part up to this point in time if inquiries from other customers regarding the contractually reserved rooms exist and the customer, upon inquiry by Wildeshauser Hof with a reasonable deadline set, does not waive his right of withdrawal. This applies accordingly in the case of the granting of an option if another inquiry exists and the customer is not prepared to make a firm booking upon inquiry by Wildeshauser Hof with a reasonable deadline set.

2. Furthermore, Wildeshauser Hof is entitled to extraordinarily withdraw from the contract for an objectively justified reason, in particular if:
• force majeure or other circumstances for which Wildeshauser Hof is not responsible make the fulfillment of the contract impossible;
• hotel services are booked with misleading or false information or concealment of essential contractual facts. Essential contractual facts can be the identity of the customer, his ability to pay, or the purpose of his stay;
• Wildeshauser Hof has justified cause to believe that the use of the hotel service can jeopardize the smooth operation of the business, security, or the public reputation of Wildeshauser Hof without this being attributable to the sphere of control or organization of Wildeshauser Hof;
• the purpose or cause of the stay is illegal;
• there is a breach of Clause I No. 2;
• an advance payment agreed or requested in accordance with Clause III Nos. 5 and/or 6 above has not been made even after a reasonable grace period set by Wildeshauser Hof has expired.

3. Wildeshauser Hof may prevent or abort unapproved job interviews, sales, and similar events.

4. The justified withdrawal by Wildeshauser Hof or the prevention of an unapproved event in accordance with above No. 3 does not constitute a claim for damages by the customer.

5. If Wildeshauser Hof has a claim for damages against the customer in the event of withdrawal in accordance with above No. 2, Wildeshauser Hof can assert this claim as a lump sum. Clause IV No. 3 sentences 2 to 5 apply accordingly in this case.

 

VI. Room Availability, Handover and Return

1. The customer does not acquire any right to be provided specific rooms unless this has been expressly agreed.

2. Subject to an express agreement for an earlier availability time, reserved rooms are available to the customer from 3:00 p.m. on the agreed day of arrival. Unless a later arrival time has been expressly agreed upon or the relevant room has been paid for in advance, Wildeshauser Hof has the right to reallocate booked rooms after 6:00 p.m. without the customer being able to derive a claim against Wildeshauser Hof from this. There is no obligation to reallocate.

3. On the agreed day of departure, the rooms must be vacated and made available to Wildeshauser Hof no later than 11:00 a.m. Use beyond this time against a time-dependent fee can – subject to availability – be agreed upon with Wildeshauser Hof.

4. If the customer uses the room beyond 11:00 a.m. without previously making an express agreement to this effect with Wildeshauser Hof, Wildeshauser Hof may charge 50% of the full rack rate for the use exceeding the contract due to the late vacating of the room until 6:00 p.m. (but at least the fee according to the above No. 3), and from 6:00 p.m. onwards at least 80%. Contractual claims of the customer are not established hereby. The customer is free to prove that Wildeshauser Hof has no or a significantly lower claim for usage fees.

5. For a night check-in outside the opening hours of Wildeshauser Hof by an on-call service or an on-call night porter, we charge a service fee of € 25.00 for each affected room.

 

VII. Non-Smoking Hotel / Fire Brigade Alert in Case of Fire

1. A strict non-smoking policy applies throughout the entire hotel and restaurant, including all guest rooms. Smoking is only permitted in the outdoor area. Should a guest nevertheless smoke in the room, a cleaning flat rate of EUR 200 will be charged to cover the additional cleaning measures, such as the removal of the smell of smoke. The customer is free to prove that no costs or lower costs have been incurred.

2. If a room cannot be rented out the following day due to a strong smell of smoke, the guest will be charged for the additional night at the rack rate.

3. All rooms are equipped with smoke detectors. If a fire alarm is triggered by the misconduct of a guest, such as smoking in the room, the guest is liable for all resulting costs. This includes in particular the deployment of the fire brigade as well as any subsequent costs required to restore operational conditions.

 

VIII. Liability of Wildeshauser Hof

1. Wildeshauser Hof is liable for damages for which it is responsible arising from injury to life, body or health. Furthermore, Wildeshauser Hof is liable for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty or on an intentional or negligent breach of typical contractual obligations by Wildeshauser Hof. Typical contractual obligations are those obligations which make the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the fulfillment of which the customer trusts and may rely. A breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent is equivalent to a breach of duty by Wildeshauser Hof. Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise regulated in this Clause VII. Should disruptions or defects occur in the services of Wildeshauser Hof, Wildeshauser Hof shall endeavor to provide a remedy upon knowledge or immediate complaint by the customer. The customer is obliged to contribute what is reasonable to remedy the disruption and keep any possible damage to a minimum. Furthermore, the customer is obliged to inform Wildeshauser Hof in a timely manner of the possibility of extraordinarily high damages occurring.

2. Wildeshauser Hof is liable to the customer for items brought in according to the statutory provisions.

3. Items left behind by the customer will only be forwarded upon request, at the risk and expense of the customer (shipping costs plus a processing fee of at least € 15, depending on the effort). Wildeshauser Hof retains the items for three months; thereafter, if there is a recognizable value, they will be handed over to the local lost property office. If the lost property office is not willing to accept them, the items will be retained for another nine months and then either sold or destroyed. For the liability of Wildeshauser Hof, the above No. 1 sentences 1 to 5 apply accordingly.

4. If the customer is provided with a parking space in the hotel car park, even against payment, this does not constitute a safekeeping contract. There is no surveillance obligation on the part of Wildeshauser Hof. In the event of loss of or damage to motor vehicles parked or maneuvered on the hotel property and their contents, Wildeshauser Hof is only liable in accordance with the above No. 1 sentences 1 to 5. Any damages must be reported to Wildeshauser Hof immediately.

5. Wake-up calls are carried out by Wildeshauser Hof with the utmost care. Messages, mail, and merchandise deliveries for guests are handled with care. Wildeshauser Hof assumes responsibility for delivery, storage (for merchandise deliveries only by prior arrangement) and – on request – forwarding of the same against a fee. For the liability of Wildeshauser Hof, the above No. 1 sentences 1 to 5 apply accordingly.

 

IX. Final Provisions

1. Changes or additions to the contract or these General Terms and Conditions should be made in text form. Unilateral changes or additions by the customer are invalid.

2. If the customer is a merchant (Kaufmann) or a legal entity under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Wildeshausen. The same applies to customers who have their registered office or domicile in an EU member state.

3. German law applies. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and conflict of laws is excluded.

4. Wildeshauser Hof does not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before consumer arbitration boards.

5. Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions for Hotel Accommodation be or become invalid or void, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In all other respects, statutory provisions shall apply.

2. The subletting or re-letting of the provided rooms and areas, as well as public invitations or other promotional measures for job interviews, sales, or similar events, require the prior express consent of Wildeshauser Hof, whereby the right of termination pursuant to § 540 para. 1 sentence 2 BGB is waived.

3. The customer's general terms and conditions shall only apply if this has been expressly agreed in text form in advance.

 

II. Conclusion of Contract; Partners, Liability, Limitation Period

2. The customer is obliged to inform Wildeshauser Hof proactively, at the latest upon conclusion of the contract, if the event, due to its political, religious, or other character, is likely to jeopardize the smooth operation of the business, the safety, or the public reputation of Wildeshauser Hof.

3. Wildeshauser Hof is liable for damages for which it is responsible arising from injury to life, body or health. Furthermore, Wildeshauser Hof is liable for other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Wildeshauser Hof, and damages based on an intentional or negligent breach of typical contractual obligations by Wildeshauser Hof. Typical contractual obligations are those obligations which make the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the fulfillment of which the customer trusts and may rely. A breach of duty by a legal representative or vicarious agent is equivalent to a breach of duty by Wildeshauser Hof. Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise regulated in Clause IX. Should disruptions or defects occur in the services of Wildeshauser Hof, Wildeshauser Hof shall endeavor to provide a remedy upon knowledge or immediate complaint by the customer. The customer is obliged to contribute what is reasonable to remedy the disruption and keep any possible damage to a minimum. Furthermore, the customer is obliged to inform Wildeshauser Hof in a timely manner of the possibility of extraordinarily high damages occurring.

4. Messages, mail, and merchandise deliveries for the customer are handled with care. Wildeshauser Hof assumes responsibility for delivery, storage (for merchandise deliveries only by prior arrangement) and – on request – forwarding of the same against a fee. For the liability of Wildeshauser Hof, the above Number 3 sentences 1 to 4 apply accordingly.

 

III. Services, Prices, Payment, Set-off

1. The customer is obligated to pay the agreed or customary prices of Wildeshauser Hof for ordered and further utilized services. This also applies to services ordered by the customer directly or initiated via Wildeshauser Hof which are provided by third parties and paid for in advance by Wildeshauser Hof, as well as to claims by copyright collecting societies.

2. The agreed prices include the statutory value-added tax applicable at the time the contract is concluded. If this changes after the contract is concluded, the prices will be adjusted accordingly. For contracts with consumers, this only applies if there are more than 2 months between the conclusion of the contract and the provision of services.

3. If a minimum turnover has been agreed upon and this is not achieved, Wildeshauser Hof can demand 60% of the difference as lost profit, unless the customer proves a lower damage or Wildeshauser Hof proves a higher damage.

4. If payment upon invoice has been agreed, payment must be made – subject to a different agreement – within ten days of receipt of the invoice without deduction. The customer agrees that the invoice may be transmitted electronically.

5. For each reminder after default occurs, the customer must reimburse Wildeshauser Hof for reminder costs in the amount of € 5. The customer is free to prove that no costs or significantly lower costs were incurred. For customers who are not consumers, Wildeshauser Hof may instead assert a claim under § 288 para. 5 BGB.

6. Wildeshauser Hof is entitled to request an appropriate advance payment or security deposit, for example in the form of a credit card guarantee, from the customer upon conclusion of the contract. The amount of the advance payment and the payment dates can be agreed upon in text form in the contract.

7. In justified cases, for example, payment arrears by the customer or expansion of the scope of the contract, Wildeshauser Hof is entitled, even after the conclusion of the contract, to request an advance payment or security deposit within the meaning of the above No. 6 or an increase in the advance payment or security deposit agreed in the contract up to the full agreed remuneration.

8. The customer may only set off or offset a claim by Wildeshauser Hof against a claim that is undisputed or legally established.

 

IV. Withdrawal by the Customer (Cancellation, Annulment)

1. A unilateral dissolution of the contract concluded with Wildeshauser Hof by the customer free of charge is only possible if a right to free withdrawal was expressly agreed in the contract or if a statutory right to free dissolution of the contract exists. The agreement of a right of withdrawal as well as the possible consent of Wildeshauser Hof to a contract cancellation desired by the customer must be in text form.

2. If a date for the free exercise of the right of withdrawal has been agreed, the customer may withdraw from the contract up to that date without incurring payment or damage claims by Wildeshauser Hof. The right expires if the customer does not exercise it in text form towards Wildeshauser Hof by the agreed date.

3. If a right to free withdrawal has not been agreed or has already expired, and if there is no statutory right to free dissolution of the contract, and if Wildeshauser Hof does not agree to a free contract cancellation, Wildeshauser Hof retains the claim to the agreed conference flat rate or rent for rooms, exhibition spaces, technology, and event equipment, to any remuneration for third-party services in accordance with Clause III.1 sentence 2, as well as to the claim in accordance with Clause III.3 in the event of an agreed minimum turnover, despite the non-utilization of the service. Wildeshauser Hof must credit the income from any renting to other parties as well as saved expenses. The saved expenses can be applied as a flat rate, amounting to 10% for individually specified rental prices. The customer is free to prove that the claim has not arisen or has not arisen in the required amount. Wildeshauser Hof is free to prove that a higher claim has arisen.

4. If the customer withdraws from the 60th day prior to the event date, Wildeshauser Hof is entitled to charge, in addition to the agreed rental price (minus any other income or saved expenses in accordance with the above Number 3 sentence 2), the possible remuneration for third-party services in accordance with Clause III.1 sentence 2 and/or an agreed minimum turnover in accordance with Clause III.3, 35% of the lost food and beverage turnover, from the 30th day 60%, and from the 10th day 85% of the food and beverage turnover. For multi-day events, the first day of the event is decisive for calculating the period. The customer is free to prove that the claim has not arisen or has not arisen in the required amount. Wildeshauser Hof is free to prove that a higher claim has arisen.

5. Unless a flat rate for all catering was exceptionally agreed upon, the calculation of the food and beverage turnover is carried out according to the formula: Menu price of the event plus beverages x number of participants. If no price had yet been agreed for the menu, the most inexpensive 3-course menu of the respectively valid event offer will be used as a basis. Beverages will be calculated at one third of the menu price.

6. If a conference flat rate per participant was agreed upon, Wildeshauser Hof is furthermore entitled, in the event of a withdrawal from the 60th day prior to the event date, to charge 60%, for a withdrawal from the 30th day 75%, and from the 10th day 85% of the conference flat rate x agreed number of participants. For multi-day events, the first day of the event is decisive for calculating the period. The customer is free to prove that the claim has not arisen or has not arisen in the required amount. Wildeshauser Hof is free to prove that a higher claim has arisen.

7. If rents for rooms and/or exhibition areas were exceptionally not separately agreed in the contract, but rather included proportionally in the conference flat rate, Wildeshauser Hof can also, even in the case of a withdrawal up to 60 days before the event date, invoice the portion attributable to the rent x the agreed number of participants, minus a flat rate of 10% for saved expenses. This applies accordingly also to complete packages including accommodation fees for the corresponding portion. The above No. 3 sentence 2 regarding the crediting of other income applies accordingly in each case.

 

V. Withdrawal by Wildeshauser Hof

1. If it has been contractually agreed that the customer can withdraw from the contract free of charge up to a certain date, Wildeshauser Hof is entitled on its part to withdraw from the contract up to this point in time if inquiries from other customers regarding the contractually reserved event rooms exist and the customer, upon inquiry by Wildeshauser Hof with a reasonable deadline set, does not waive his right of withdrawal. This applies accordingly in the case of the granting of an option if other inquiries exist and the customer is not prepared to make a firm booking upon inquiry by Wildeshauser Hof with a reasonable deadline set.

2. Furthermore, Wildeshauser Hof is entitled to withdraw from the contract for an objectively justified reason, for example if:
• force majeure or other circumstances for which Wildeshauser Hof is not responsible make the fulfillment of the contract impossible;
• events are booked with misleading or false information or concealment of essential contractual facts; essential contractual facts can be the identity of the customer, his ability to pay, or the purpose of the event;
• Wildeshauser Hof has justified cause to believe that the event can jeopardize the smooth operation of the business, security, or the public reputation of Wildeshauser Hof without this being attributable to the sphere of control or organization of Wildeshauser Hof;
• the purpose or cause of the event is illegal;
• there is a breach of Clause I No. 2;
• an advance payment agreed or requested in accordance with Clause III Numbers 6 and/or 7 above has not been made even after the expiration of a reasonable grace period set by Wildeshauser Hof.

3. The justified withdrawal by Wildeshauser Hof does not constitute a claim for damages by the customer. If Wildeshauser Hof has a claim for damages against the customer in the event of a withdrawal in accordance with above No. 2, Wildeshauser Hof can assert this claim as a lump sum. Clause IV Numbers 3 to 7 apply accordingly in this case.

 

VI. Changes in Number of Participants and Event Time

1. An increase in the number of participants must be communicated to Wildeshauser Hof no later than five working days before the start of the event; it requires the consent of Wildeshauser Hof, which should be given in text form. The billing will be based on the actual number of participants, but at least 95% of the agreed higher number of participants. If the actual number of participants is lower, the customer has the right to reduce the agreed price by the additionally saved expenses demonstrated by him due to the lower number of participants.

2. A reduction in the number of participants by more than 5% should be communicated to Wildeshauser Hof early, but no later than five working days before the start of the event. The billing will be based on the actual number of participants, but at least 95% of the agreed number of participants. Above Number 1 sentence 3 applies accordingly.

3. If the number of participants is reduced by more than 10%, Wildeshauser Hof is entitled to swap the confirmed rooms – taking into account the potentially lower room rent – unless this is unreasonable for the customer.

4. If the agreed starting or finishing times of the event shift and Wildeshauser Hof agrees to these deviations, Wildeshauser Hof may reasonably invoice the additional readiness to perform, unless Wildeshauser Hof is at fault.

 

VII. Bringing Food and Beverages

1. The customer is generally not allowed to bring food and beverages to events. Exceptions require an agreement with Wildeshauser Hof, which should be made in text form. Wildeshauser Hof may make its consent dependent on the charging of a contribution to cover overhead costs.

 

VIII. Technical Facilities and Connections; Official Permits

1. Insofar as Wildeshauser Hof procures technical and other facilities from third parties for the customer at his instigation, Wildeshauser Hof acts in the name of, with power of attorney, and on behalf of the customer. The customer is liable for careful handling and proper return. He indemnifies Wildeshauser Hof from all third-party claims arising from the provision of these facilities.

2. The use of the customer's own electrical equipment using Wildeshauser Hof's power grid requires the explicit consent of Wildeshauser Hof; this may be made dependent on the fee-based provision of a hotel technician. Disruptions or damage to Wildeshauser Hof's technical equipment caused by the use of these devices shall be borne by the customer, unless Wildeshauser Hof is responsible for them. Wildeshauser Hof may record and charge for the electricity costs incurred by such use as a flat rate.

3. The customer is entitled, with the consent of Wildeshauser Hof, to use his own telephone, fax, and data transmission equipment. Wildeshauser Hof may charge a connection fee and/or a compensation fee for the non-utilization of its own equipment for this.

4. Malfunctions in technical or other facilities provided by Wildeshauser Hof will be remedied immediately if possible. Payments may not be withheld or reduced as long as Wildeshauser Hof is not responsible for these malfunctions.

5. The customer must obtain the necessary official permits for the event in good time at his own expense. He is responsible for compliance with public-law requirements and other regulations.

 

IX. Loss of or Damage to Brought-in Items

1. Exhibition or other items, including personal belongings, brought along are located in the event rooms or in the hotel at the customer's own risk. Wildeshauser Hof assumes no liability for loss, destruction, or damage, nor for financial losses, except in cases of gross negligence or intent on the part of Wildeshauser Hof. Furthermore, all cases in which safekeeping constitutes a typical contractual obligation due to the circumstances of the individual case are excluded from this liability release. Apart from the cases mentioned in sentence 3, a safekeeping contract requires express agreement. Otherwise, Clause II No. 3 applies accordingly.

2. Decoration material brought along and other items brought in by the customers must comply with fire protection requirements and other official regulations. Wildeshauser Hof is entitled to demand official proof of this. If such proof is not provided, Wildeshauser Hof is entitled to remove material that has already been brought in at the customer's expense. To prevent possible damage, the setting up and attachment of objects must be coordinated with Wildeshauser Hof in advance.

3. Exhibition or other items brought along must be removed immediately after the end of the event. If the customer fails to do so, Wildeshauser Hof may carry out the removal and storage at the customer's expense. If the objects remain in the event room or on the exhibition area, Wildeshauser Hof may charge reasonable compensation for use for the duration of the withholding of the room or exhibition area.

 

X. Customer's Liability for Damages

1. If the customer is an entrepreneur, he is liable for all damage to the building or inventory caused by event participants or visitors, employees, other third parties from his area, or himself. This applies accordingly if the customer is a legal entity under public law, a political party, or a trade union.

2. Wildeshauser Hof may demand that the customer provide reasonable security (e.g., insurance, deposits, guarantees).

 

XI. Final Provisions

1. Changes or additions to the contract or these general terms and conditions should be made in text form. Unilateral changes or additions by the customer are invalid.

2. If the customer is a merchant (Kaufmann) or a legal entity under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Wildeshausen. The same applies to customers who have their registered office or domicile in an EU member state.

3. German law applies. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and conflict of laws is excluded.

4. Wildeshauser Hof does not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before consumer arbitration boards.

5. Should individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions for Conferences be or become invalid or void, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. In all other respects, statutory provisions shall apply.
