General Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) for Private Holiday Rental

Scope of the Terms and Conditions

(1) These General Terms and Conditions apply to contracts for the temporary rental of the holiday apartment Bergzeit Suite Obersalzberg for accommodation purposes, as well as all related services provided by the landlord.

(2) Any differing terms and conditions of the guest shall not apply unless their validity has been expressly agreed to in writing.

(3) Sub-letting or further rental, as well as use for purposes other than residential, is not permitted.

§ 1 Definitions

(1) The Landlord is the natural person named in the booking offer.

(2) The Guest is the booking person as well as all accompanying persons.

(3) The Rental Property is the holiday apartment designated in the contract.

§ 2 Booking and Formation of Contract

(1) Bookings can be made via booking platforms (e.g. Airbnb, Booking.com), through a channel manager, or directly by e-mail or telephone.

(2) The contract is concluded upon receipt of the landlord's written booking confirmation.

(3) For bookings made via third-party platforms, the respective platform's terms and conditions apply additionally, insofar as they do not contradict these T&Cs.

A security deposit ("Security Deposit", "Host Guarantee") as provided by the platform may be collected. This does not replace the guest's liability for damages to the rental property or inventory.
