These Terms and Conditions apply supplementarily, unless agreed otherwise at the time of booking.<\/p>\n \u201cAccommodation Provider\u201d:<\/strong> Hotel Seebichl, Kitzb\u00fchel, Familie Witzmann KG.<\/p>\n \u201cGuest\u201d:<\/strong> A natural person who makes use of accommodation.

In the case of online bookings, acceptance occurs upon receipt of the booking confirmation. Telephone bookings are confirmed in writing. Electronic declarations are deemed received when the party for whom they are intended can access them under ordinary circumstances.<\/p>\n 3.2 Payment method and payment date depend on the Booking Conditions. Unless agreed otherwise, the agreed fee must be paid in full prior to arrival, for example via a payment link or bank transfer.<\/p>\n 3.3 If a credit card or other payment method has been deposited, the Accommodation Provider is entitled to charge it at the times and in the amounts specified in the Booking Conditions.<\/p>\n 3.4 Transaction costs (e.g. bank transfer fees) shall be borne by the Contracting Party.

In this case, the booking shall be deemed cancelled by the Contracting Party on the day of arrival; the cancellation conditions pursuant to \u00a7 8 shall apply.<\/p>\n 5.1 Dogs are only permitted in designated room categories and strictly by prior agreement at the time of booking. A fee will be charged in accordance with the Booking Conditions. Other animals may only be brought with the prior consent of the Accommodation Provider.<\/p>\n 5.2 If a guest arrives with a dog even though the booked room category is not designated for pets or the dog was not agreed upon at the time of booking, the Accommodation Provider is entitled to refuse accommodation and withdraw from the contract. In this case, the booking shall be deemed cancelled by the Contracting Party on the day of arrival; the cancellation conditions pursuant to \u00a7 8 shall apply. If a suitable room is available, the Accommodation Provider may offer it for an additional surcharge; there is no entitlement to this.<\/p>\n 5.3 Any Contracting Party bringing an animal is obliged to properly keep or supervise this animal during their stay or to have it kept or supervised by suitable third parties at their own expense.<\/p>\n 5.4 The Contracting Party or Guest bringing an animal must have appropriate pet liability insurance or personal liability insurance that also covers potential damage caused by animals. Proof of the corresponding insurance must be provided upon request by the Accommodation Provider.<\/p>\n 5.5 The Contracting Party and their insurer are jointly and severally liable to the Accommodation Provider for any damage caused by animals brought onto the premises.

If the guest does not appear by this time, this shall be deemed a no-show pursuant to 8.3; there is then no obligation to provide accommodation.<\/p>\n 7.3 Any deposits or advance payments already made will be set off in the event of a no-show in accordance with the agreed cancellation conditions.<\/p>\n 7.4 Unless agreed otherwise, the Accommodation Provider may dissolve the contract by unilateral declaration for objectively justified reasons no later than 3 months before the agreed day of arrival.<\/p>\n 7.5 The rights of withdrawal pursuant to 4.3, 5.2, and \u00a7 9 remain unaffected.<\/p>\n 8.1 Cancellations are governed by the cancellation conditions agreed at the time of booking.

In this case, the Contracting Party may choose between:<\/p>\n \u2013 equivalent or higher-quality alternative accommodation in Kitzb\u00fchel or the surrounding area arranged by the Accommodation Provider; any additional costs for the alternative accommodation and transfer there shall be borne by the Accommodation Provider; or 9.2 If a service was displayed or confirmed at a price that noticeably does not correspond to the actual price due to an obvious pricing or system error, and this must have been apparent to the Contracting Party, the Accommodation Provider may challenge the contract on the grounds of error. The Accommodation Provider shall give notice thereof without delay upon becoming aware of the error and offer the booking at the correct price. If the Contracting Party does not accept this offer, any payments already made will be refunded in full.<\/p>\n 9.3 Further statutory claims of the Contracting Party remain unaffected.<\/p>\n 10.1 Scope, times, prices, and participant numbers are based on the accepted offer or booking confirmation.<\/p>\n 10.2 The final number of participants must be communicated to the Accommodation Provider by the date agreed at the time of booking, or otherwise at least 14 days prior to the day of the event.

The Accommodation Provider also holds this right of retention or lien to secure its claims arising from the contract, in particular for catering, other expenses incurred on behalf of the Contracting Party, and for any compensation claims of any kind.<\/p>\n 12.2 If service is requested in the Contracting Party\u2019s room or at unusual times of day (after 20:00 and before 06:00), the Accommodation Provider is entitled to charge a special fee.

ABGB. The Accommodation Provider is only liable if the items have been handed over to the Accommodation Provider or to persons authorised by the Accommodation Provider, or have been brought to a place instructed or designated by them. Unless the Accommodation Provider proves otherwise, it is liable for its own fault or the fault of its staff, as well as persons entering and leaving the premises. Pursuant to \u00a7 970 (1) ABGB, the Accommodation Provider is liable up to a maximum of the amount set out in the Federal Act of 16 November 1921 on the Liability of Innkeepers and Other Entrepreneurs, as amended. Any contributory negligence of the Contracting Party or Guest shall be taken into account.<\/p>\n 13.2 For valuables, money, and securities, the Accommodation Provider is only liable up to an amount of currently \u20ac550. The Accommodation Provider is only liable for damage exceeding this amount if it accepted these items for safekeeping with knowledge of their nature, or if the damage was caused by the Accommodation Provider itself or one of its staff.<\/p>\n 13.3 The Accommodation Provider may refuse custody of valuables, money, and securities if they are significantly more valuable than items guests of the accommodation establishment in question usually place in safekeeping.<\/p>\n 13.4 If the Contracting Party is a business, the liability of the Accommodation Provider for slight and gross negligence is excluded. In this case, the Contracting Party bears the burden of proof for the existence of fault. Consequential damages, non-material damages, indirect damages, and lost profits shall not be compensated. Any damages to be compensated are in any case capped at the amount of reliance interest.<\/p>\n 14.1 The Contracting Party has no entitlement to an extension of their stay. If the Contracting Party announces their wish to extend the stay in good time, the Accommodation Provider may agree to the extension. The Accommodation Provider is under no obligation to do so.<\/p>\n 14.2 If the Contracting Party is unable to leave the accommodation establishment on the day of departure because all departure options are blocked or impassable due to unforeseeable extraordinary circumstances (e.g. extreme snowfall, flooding, etc.), the Accommodation Agreement is automatically extended for the duration of the impossibility of departure. A reduction of the fee for this period is only possible if the Contracting Party is unable to make full use of the services offered by the accommodation establishment as a result of the extraordinary weather conditions. The Accommodation Provider is entitled to charge at least the fee corresponding to the rate customarily charged during the low season.<\/p>\n 15.1 If the Accommodation Agreement was concluded for a fixed term, it ends upon expiry of that term.<\/p>\n 15.2 The contract with the Accommodation Provider ends upon the death of a Guest.<\/p>\n 15.3 If the Accommodation Agreement was concluded for an indefinite period, the contracting parties may dissolve the contract by 10:00 on the third day prior to the intended end of the contract.<\/p>\n 15.4 The Accommodation Provider is entitled to terminate the Accommodation Agreement with immediate effect for good cause, in particular if the Contracting Party or the Guest:<\/p>\n a) makes a significantly detrimental use of the premises or, through their inconsiderate, offensive, or otherwise grossly improper behaviour, makes staying together intolerable for the other guests, the owner, their staff, or third parties residing in the accommodation establishment, or commits an offence against property, morality, or physical safety towards these persons; 15.5 If performance of the contract becomes impossible due to an event deemed to be force majeure (e.g. acts of God, strikes, lockouts, official orders, etc.), the Accommodation Provider may dissolve the Accommodation Agreement at any time without observing a notice period, unless the contract is already deemed dissolved by law or the Accommodation Provider is released from its obligation to provide accommodation. Any claims for damages etc. by the Contracting Party are excluded.<\/p>\n 16.1 If a guest falls ill during their stay at the accommodation establishment, the Accommodation Provider shall arrange for medical care at the guest\u2019s request. In case of imminent danger, the Accommodation Provider shall arrange for medical care even without the guest\u2019s specific request, particularly where necessary and the guest is unable to do so themselves.<\/p>\n 16.2 As long as the guest is unable to make decisions or the guest’s next of kin cannot be contacted, the Accommodation Provider shall arrange for medical treatment at the guest\u2019s expense. However, the scope of these care measures ends at the point when the guest is able to make decisions or the relatives have been notified of the illness.<\/p>\n 16.3 The Accommodation Provider is entitled to claim reimbursement from the Contracting Party and the Guest, or in the event of death from their legal successors, in particular for the following costs:<\/p>\n a) outstanding medical costs, costs for ambulance transport, medication, and medical aids; 17.1 The place of performance is the place where the accommodation establishment is located.<\/p>\n 17.2 This contract is governed by Austrian formal and substantive law, to the exclusion of the rules of private international law (in particular the IPRG and the Rome Convention) and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).<\/p>\n 17.3 In bilateral business transactions, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the registered office of the Accommodation Provider; however, the Accommodation Provider is additionally entitled to assert its rights before any other court with local and subject-matter jurisdiction.<\/p>\n 17.4 If the contract was concluded with a Contracting Party who is a consumer and has their domicile or habitual residence in Austria, legal actions against the consumer may only be brought at the consumer’s domicile, habitual residence, or place of employment.<\/p>\n 17.5 If the contract was concluded with a Contracting Party who is a consumer and has their domicile in a member state of the European Union (excluding Austria), Iceland, Norway, or Switzerland, the court having local and subject-matter jurisdiction over the consumer’s domicile shall have exclusive jurisdiction for legal actions against the consumer.<\/p>\n 18.1 Unless the provisions above specify otherwise, a time limit begins upon delivery of the document specifying the time limit to the Contracting Party required to observe it. When calculating a time limit defined in days, the day on which the event or point in time occurs from which the start of the period is to be determined shall not be counted. Time limits specified in weeks or months refer to that day of the week or month which corresponds by name or number to the day from which the period is to be calculated. If this day is missing in that month, the last day of that month shall apply.<\/p>\n 18.2 Declarations must be received by the other Contracting Party on the last day of the time limit (24:00).<\/p>\n 18.3 The Accommodation Provider is entitled to set off its own claims against claims of the Contracting Party. The Contracting Party is not entitled to set off its own claims against claims of the Accommodation Provider unless the Accommodation Provider is insolvent or the Contracting Party\u2019s claim has been established by a court of law or acknowledged by the Accommodation Provider.<\/p>\n 18.4 In the event of regulatory gaps, the corresponding statutory provisions shall apply.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" General Terms and Conditions Hotel Seebichl, Kitzb\u00fchel, Familie Witzmann KG…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":13,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/text.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-29","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
