The rental property may only be used for private holidays. Any commercial or other use is excluded.
By clicking on the "Book now" button, the renter confirms that he is legally competent (but at least 18 years of age) according to the law of his country of residence and can legally conclude contracts. The tenant is bound to his booking for five working days. Within this period, the landlord will deliver the rental agreement to the tenant if he wants to conclude the rental agreement. The landlord is entitled to refuse a booking without giving reasons. Down payment, final payment and any deposit are recorded in the contract.
If the down payment, the balance and/or the deposit does not reach the landlord by the agreed date, the landlord can, after a short grace period has expired without success, rent the property to someone else without being liable for compensation; however, he can also insist on the fulfillment of the contract and claim the cancellation costs according to Section 8. The landlord informs the tenant immediately. The transfer costs are at the expense of the renter ("OUR payment"). If a credit card payment is not honored or revoked, this is considered a cancellation (cancellation) of the rental agreement and the conditions "Cancellation and early return of the rental property", Section 8, apply.
