General Terms and Conditions of Contract

The General Terms and Conditions of Contract, which you accept in writing or by mail when making a binding booking, govern the legal relationship between you as the tenant of the vacation apartment, the apartment owner (landlord) and WohnCompany GmbH & Co. KG as the agent (always referred to as “Agent” in the following terms and conditions). By signing the booking, you accept the contractual conditions stated here.

Activity of the agent

The agent is authorized by the landlord (apartment owner) to conclude the rental agreement, to process it and to carry out all legal acts and transactions in connection with it.

Booking

The rental contract is only concluded when we have received a booking confirmation from you in writing (also possible by e-mail) within five calendar days of sending the reservation confirmation (the date stated in the reservation confirmation applies). If it is no longer possible to send you a reservation confirmation or to receive a booking confirmation from you in writing due to time constraints, the rental agreement can also be concluded bindingly by telephone. We expressly point out that only one parking space is available per apartment. WLAN is not a guaranteed service and no recourse claims can be made due to technical failures. In the event of the short-term sale of the rented apartment by the apartment owner, the agent is entitled to provide an equivalent replacement apartment.

Payment

The deposit of 20% of the total price stated on the booking confirmation is due within 14 days of booking. The remaining amount is to be paid by bank transfer up to 14 days before arrival or by EC card at our office on the day of arrival. The agent does not accept credit cards. Please state the transaction number in the reason for payment. Bed linen and towels are not included in the total price, but can be rented separately for a fee. For bookings made at short notice up to 7 days before arrival, we cannot guarantee that the beds will be made up.

Cancellation

In the event of cancellation up to 42 days before the day of arrival, a processing fee of EUR 40.00 will be charged. From the 41st day before the day of arrival, the full rental price is due if no other rental can be made. Cancellation should always be made in writing. In your interest, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance.
