3. The customer's terms and conditions apply only if so agreed in advance in writing.

3. Any and all claims by the customer shall be time-barred after one year starting from the beginning of the noticeable regular limitation period of § 199 Abs. 1 BGB.

III. Performances, rates, payment, set-off

1. The hotel untertakes to keep the rooms reserved by the customer available, and to render the services which have been agreed in advance.
2. The customer is obliged to pay. The customer is obligated to pay the applicable or agreed hotel rates for rooms provided and for other services used. This also applies to the hotel’s services and outlays to third parties caused by the customer.
3. The agreed rates include relevant and statutory value-added tax. If there is a statutory increase of value-added tax included in the rates the hotel may appropriately adjust the agreed rates without prior consent of the customer. If the period between conclusion and fulfilment of the contract exceeds four months, and if the rate generally charged by the hotel for such services increases, then the hotel may raise the rate agreed by contract to a reasonable extent, but not by more than ten percent.
4. Furthermore, the hotel may change rates if the customer later wishes to make alterations in the number of reserved hotel rooms, the services of the hotel, or the length of the stay of customers, and the hotel consents to them.
5. Hotel bills bearing no settlement date have to be paid in full within ten days of receipt. At any time, the hotel is entitled to call in accruing amounts owed and to insist upon immediate payment. In case of delayed payment, the hotel may charge interest to the extent of eight percent, or for contracts involving end users of five percent above the basic interest rate. The customer and hotel reserve the right to provide evidence of lower or higher damages, respectively.

7. The customer may offset or reduce a claim made by the hotel only against an indisputable and legally binding claim.

IV. Recission by customer (cancellation)

1. Rescission of the contract concluded with the hotel by the customer requires the hotel’s written consent. If it is not granted on the part of the hotel, then the rate agreed in the contract must be paid even if the customer does not avail himself of contractual services. This does not apply in cases of delayed performance of the hotel or of impossibility of performance for which the hotel is at fault.
2. To the extent that the hotel and customer agreed upon in writing a date for rescinding the contract, the customer may rescind the contract up to that date without incurring payment or damage compensation claims by the hotel. The customer’s right of rescission expires if he does not exercise his rescission right in writing vis-à-vis the hotel by the agreed date, to the extent there is no case of rescission by the customer according to number 1 sent. 3.
3. If rooms are not used by the customer, the hotel must apply credit for the income from renting the rooms to other parties and also for saved expenses.
4. At its own discretion, the hotel may require flat-rate compensation from the customer for damages incurred. Then the customer is obligated to pay ninety percent of the contractually agreed rate for lodging with or without breakfast, seventy percent for room and half-board, and sixty percent for room and full-board arrangements.
The customer is at liberty to prove that no damages were incurred or that the damages incurred by the hotel were lower than the flat-rate amount charged.

V. Rescission by hotel

1. In the event that a right of rescission within a certain period of time was agreed in writing for the customer, the hotel is entitled for its part to rescind the contract during that period if there are inquiries from other customers concerning the contractually reserved rooms and the customer does not waive his right of rescission when asked by the hotel.
2. If an agreed or according to no. III- 6 requested advance payment is not made even after a reasonable period of grace set by the hotel with warning of rejection has expired, then the hotel is likewise entitled to rescind the contract.
3. Furthermore, the hotel is entitled to effect an extraordinary rescission of the contract for a materially justifiable cause, for example if

• force major (an act of god) or other circumstances for which the hotel is not responsible, make it impossible to fulfil the contract;
• rooms are reserved with misleading or false information regarding major facts such as the identity of the customer or the purpose;
• the hotel has justifiable cause to believe that use of the hotel’s services and performances might jeopardise the smooth operation of the hotel, its security or public reputation without being attributable to the hotel’s sphere of control or organisation;
• there is a violation of clause Applicability (2).
