1. These Terms and Conditions apply to contracts concerning the rental of “hotel rooms” and of conference rooms, banquet rooms and function rooms (hereinafter referred to as “facilities”) and to all associated additional services and deliveries (hereinafter referred to as “provision of services”) between Business Hotel GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the “Hotel”) and the Customer (hereinafter referred to as “Customer”; the Hotel and the Customer hereinafter also referred to collectively as the “Parties”).
1. Any subletting or re-letting of the rented hotel rooms, facilities, space or display cabinets and invitations to interviews, selling events or other functions require the prior approval of the Hotel in the form of written text (§ 126b BGB). 540 Abs. 1 S. 2 BGB does not apply to business dealings.
2.The Customer undertakes to inform the Hotel without delay and without being asked, but at the time of the conclusion of the contract at the latest, whether the provision of services and/or the function is likely to arouse public interest because of its political, religious or other nature or to affect the Hotel’s interests. Newspaper advertisements, other advertising measures or publications containing a reference to the Hotel and/or, for example, invitations to interviews or selling events generally require the written approval of the Hotel. If the Customer breaches this duty to provide information or if a publication appears without such approval, the Hotel shall be entitled to cancel the function. In such case, Clause VI.4 shall apply analogously (payment of agreed consideration).
11. The Hotel has the right of lien on the Customer’s assets brought into the Hotel as a security for its receivables, 704 BGB.
2. In the event of an installation of technical extras and equipment, the Hotel may demand that such installation will be inspected by the Technical Control Board (TÜV), or a comparable testing organisation, and that the Customer present the technical test certificate to the Hotel without delay and without special request.
4. Clause 3 has no effect on the statutory liability under §§ 701 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB). The Hotel is liable to the Customer for property brought into the Hotel under the provisions of statutory law, thus up to 100 times the room price, €3500 maximum, and up to €800 for money, securities and objects of value. Money, securities and objects of value that do not exceed in value the insurance coverage in the amount of € 800 provided for the individual Hotel may be stored in the room safe. The Hotel advises the Customer to make use of this opportunity. Liability claims are excluded pursuant to § 703 of the Civil Code (BGB) if the Customer does not notify the Hotel without delay after becoming aware of loss, destruction or damage.
XV. Final Provisions 1. Any amendments or additions to the contract concerning the renting of hotel rooms or these Terms and Conditions must be made in written form to be valid.
3. Exclusive place of jurisdiction – also for lawsuits concerning cheques and bills of exchange – is, for commercial transactions, the registered office of the Hotel’s operating company. So long as the contractual partner fulfils the conditions of 38 Paragraph 2 of the German Code of Civil Procedure and does not have a general Place of Jurisdiction in Germany, then the central office of the operating company of the hotel applies as the Place of Jurisdiction.
