Terms and Conditions
​
I Scope
(1) These general terms and conditions for guest accommodation apply to contracts for the rental of holiday homes / fincas for accommodation as well as all other services and deliveries provided by the provider for the guest. The provider's services are provided exclusively on the basis of these general terms and conditions.
(2) The subletting or re-letting of the holiday home/finca as well as their use for purposes other than residential require the prior written consent of the provider.
(3) The guest's terms and conditions only apply if they have been agreed in writing beforehand. Deviations from these conditions are only effective if the provider has expressly confirmed them in writing.
​
II accommodation contract
​
(1) The accommodation contract is concluded when the provider confirms the guest's booking request by telephone or in writing by e-mail and thus accepts the booking (acceptance of application).
(2) Contractual partners are the provider and the guest. If a third party has ordered for the guest, they are liable to the provider together with the guest as joint debtor for all obligations arising from this contract, provided that the provider has a corresponding declaration from the third party.
(3) The guest is obliged to check the correctness of the booking confirmation. If the content of the booking confirmation differs from the booking request and the guest does not raise objections immediately, the content of the booking confirmation is deemed to be contractually agreed.
​
III Liability; statute of limitations
​
(1) The provider is liable for his obligations under the contract.
Claims by the guest for damages are excluded. Excluded from this are damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health if the provider is responsible for the breach of duty, other damages that are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the provider and damages that are based on a willful or negligent breach of typical contractual obligations of the provider. A breach of duty by the provider is equivalent to that of a legal representative or vicarious agent. Should disruptions or defects occur in the provider's services, the provider will endeavor to eliminate the disruption or defect if the guest becomes aware of it or if the guest complains immediately. The guest is obliged to do what is reasonable for him to eliminate the disruption or defect and to keep possible damage to a minimum. If the guest culpably fails to notify the provider of a defect, a claim for a reduction in the contractually agreed fee does not arise.
(2) The provider is not liable for items brought in by the guest; they are not considered to be items brought in within the meaning of §§ 701 f. BGB. A liability of the provider according to these regulations is thus expressly excluded. This also expressly applies to valuables that the guest keeps and/or leaves behind in the holiday home/finca.
(3) The guest is liable for all damage that he, his fellow travelers or his visitors culpably caused in the holiday home/finca and/or the inventory of the holiday home/finca.
(4) The guest is obliged to report any damage to the provider immediately.

Claims by the provider become statute-barred within the respective statutory period.
​
IV Services, prices, payment, offsetting
​

(7) Invoices from the provider without a due date are payable within 10 days of receipt of the invoice without deduction. The provider can demand the immediate payment of due claims from the guest at any time.
