If, due to a violation of this smoking ban, further riveting is not possible due to persistent odor nuisance, the hotel reserves the right to charge the violating guest with the full amount of the loss of revenue, even after their departure

In this case, the hotel is entitled and obliged to re-let the room for the remaining time if possible.
2. If an appointment for free withdrawal from the contract has been agreed between the hotel and the customer, the customer can withdraw from the contract up to that point without triggering payment or damage claims by the hotel.

The amount for food and drinks is calculated according to the number of participants as agreed in the contract. If no amount for food and drinks has been contractually agreed upon, the lowest priced 3-course menu of the respective valid event offer shall be used as a basis for the flat rate. The food sales are then calculated according to the formula: Banquet menu price x number of persons. Beverage sales are calculated according to 50% of food sales.

In the event of deviations beyond this, the originally reported number of participants minus 5% shall be taken as a basis.

12. Technical equipment and connections

1. Insofar as the hotel procures technical and other equipment from third parties for the customer at the customer’s instigation, the hotel acts in the name, on behalf and for the account of the customer.

2. The use of the organizer’s own electrical equipment or that of third parties commissioned by the organizer using the hotel’s power supply system requires the hotel’s prior written consent. Any malfunctions or damage to the hotel’s technical equipment resulting from the use of such equipment shall be borne by the organizer, unless the hotel is responsible for such malfunctions or damage. The hotel may record and charge a flat rate for the electricity costs incurred by the use of such equipment.

1. If the rights of third parties (copyrights, etc.) are affected during events, the customer is obliged to obtain appropriate permits at the customer’s own expense before the event is held and to pay any fees (GEMA fees, etc.) directly. Should fees or claims for damages nevertheless be asserted against the hotel for the reasons mentioned, the organizer shall indemnify the hotel against such fees or claims for damages.
2. If the participation of artists in events creates an obligation to contribute to the Artists’ Social Security Fund, the organizer is obliged to pay these contributions directly.
3. In the event that the hotel engages artists for the customer’s events, the hotel is entitled to charge the customer for the contributions to the Artists’ Social Security Fund.

14. Decorative material, exhibits for events

1. Decorative materials, exhibits or other, even personal items of the customer, who is not an accepted guest at the hotel, are placed in the event rooms or the hotel at the customer’s risk. The hotel assumes no liability for loss, destruction or damage of such items, except in cases of gross negligence or intent on the part of the hotel. Excluded from the exclusion of liability are damages from injury to life, body or health. Furthermore, all cases are excluded in which, due to the circumstances of the individual case, the safekeeping represents an obligation, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the customer may regularly trust (essential contractual obligation).

2. Decorative material brought by the customer must comply with the fire brigade requirements. The hotel is entitled to demand official proof of this. If the customer does not comply with this request by the hotel, the hotel is entitled to remove and store the decorative material at the customer's expense. Due to possible damage, the installation and attachment of objects to walls and ceilings is only permitted with the prior written consent of the hotel.

3. All exhibition or other objects brought along by the customer or participants of the event must be removed by the customer immediately after the end of the event. If the customer does not immediately comply with this duty of removal, the hotel is entitled to remove and store the

16. Defects, obligations of the customer to cooperate

1. If defects should occur in the hotel’s deliveries or services or if the services are disrupted, the customer shall notify the hotel of such defects immediately upon discovery so that the hotel has the opportunity to remedy the defects as quickly as possible or to ensure that the deliveries and services comply with the contract. Insofar as this is not possible due to the nature of the defect/disturbance or for other compelling reasons, notices of defects must in any case be made at the latest when the rooms are returned to the hotel. The customer is obliged to keep any damage incurred by them as low as possible.

17. Liability of the hotel

1. The hotel shall be liable for its obligations under the contract with the diligence of a prudent business person. Claims of the customer for damages are excluded. This does not include damages resulting from injury to life, body or health. Furthermore, the exclusion of liability does not apply to other damages that are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the hotel. The exclusion of liability shall also not apply to damages resulting from the violation of essential contractual obligations. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the customer may regularly rely. Furthermore, mandatory liability under the Product Liability Act as well as liability arising from any guarantee assumed by the hotel shall remain unaffected. A breach of duty on the part of the hotel is equivalent to that of a legal representative or vicarious agent of the hotel.

2. The hotel shall be liable to the customer for items brought in in accordance with the statutory provisions (§§ 701 ff. BGB).
3. If the customer is provided with a parking space in the hotel garage or a hotel parking lot, this does not constitute a safekeeping agreement.

Claims for damages become time- barred within 5 years, irrespective of knowledge. This shortening of the statute of limitations shall not apply in the event of culpable injury to life, body or in the event of liability under the Product Liability Act.

18. Final provisions

1. Changes or additions to the accommodation and event contract must be made in writing to be effective. The written form is also necessary for the cancellation of the written form requirement. 2. The place of performance and payment is the registered office of the hotel.
3. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for commercial transactions is the registered office of the hotel. Insofar as a contractual partner fulfills the requirements of § 38 para. 2 ZPO and has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction shall be the hotel’s registered office.

4. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies exclusively. The application of UN sales law and conflict of laws is excluded.
5. Should individual provisions of the accommodation or event contract or individual provisions of these General Terms and Conditions for hotel accommodation and for the staging of events be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In all other respects the statutory provisions shall apply.
