The reduction of the statute of limitation periods shall not apply to claims which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of obligation by the hotel.If the event concerned is, due to its political, religious or other nature, such as to jeopardise the smooth running of the business or the safety or public reputation of the hotel, the customer must notify the hotel of this on his own initiative at the latest when the contract is concluded.Messages, mail, and merchandise deliveries for guests are handled with care. The hotel will deliver, hold, and for a fee forward such items (on request).

If the period between the conclusion and the fulfillment of the contract is longer than 4 months and if the applicable rate of value added tax is increased during this period, the prices will be adjusted accordingly. If the period between conclusion and fulfillment of the contract exceeds four months and if the price generally charged by the hotel for such services increases, then the hotel may raise the contractually agreed price appropriately by a maximum of five per cent. For every further year lying between the conclusion and the fulfillment of the contract, the upper limit increases by further five per cent.

Repudiation by the Customer (Cancellation, Annulment)The written agreement of the hotel shall be required for a gratis cancellation by the customer of the contract concluded with the hotel. If such agreement is not given then the agreed room rent from the contract as well as the services to be performed by third parties shall also be paid regardless of whether the customer avails himself of the contractual services and rental to a third party is no longer possible. This shall not apply with the breach of the obligation of the hotel to take into account the rights, objects of legal protection and interests of the customer, if holding to the contract is no longer reasonable or another statutory or contractual cancellation right exists.To the extent that the hotel and the customer agreed in writing upon a date for a gratis cancellation of the contract, the customer may cancel the contract up to that date without incurring payment or damage compensation claims by the hotel. The customer`s right of cancellation shall expire if he does not exercise his cancellation right in vis-à-vis the hotel by the agreed date, insofar as no case pursuant to No. 1, sentence 3 supra exists.If the customer cancels between the eights and fourth week prior to the date of the event, the hotel shall be entitled to charge – in addition to the agreed rent – 35 per cent of lost consumption sales (70 per cent of the consumption sales for any later cancellation).Consumption sales are calculated using the following formula: menu price of the event plus beverages times plus the number of participants.

Beverages are charged with one third of the menu price.If a seminar flat rate per participant has been agreed, the hotel shall be entitled to charge, for a cancellation between the eighth and fourth week prior to the date of the event, 60 per cent of the seminar flat rate times agreed number of participants (85 per cent for any later cancellation).The deduction of saved expenses is taken into account with the number 3 to 5 supra.

The same applies to the granting of an option if there are other inquiries and the customer is, if requested by the hotel, not prepared to make a fixed booking.Should an agreed advance payment or an advance payment demanded pursuant to clause III, No. 8 not be paid, then the hotel shall also be entitled to cancel the contract.Moreover, the hotel is entitled to effect extraordinary cancellation of the contract for a materially justifable cause, e.g. if• force majeure or other circumstances for which the hotel is not responsible make it impossible to fulfill the contract;• rooms are reserved with misleading or false information regarding material facts, such as the identity of the customer or the purpose; • the hotel has just cause to believe that use of the hotel`s services might jeopardize the smooth operation of the hotel, its security or public reputation, without being attributable to the hotel`s spere of control or organisation;• there is a breach of the item I No.2 supra.The customer can derive no right to compensation from justifiable cancellation by the hotel.

This will in particular be the case if• the customer has applied for the initiation of insolvency proceedings, has commenced proceedings out of court for the purpose of settling his debts or has stopped payments,• insolvency proceedings are commenced or an application for such commencement is rejected due to lack of assets or for any other reason.VI.
