General terms & conditions
1. Scope of application, contractual parties and conclusion of contracts
These Terms and Conditions apply for contracts for the renting of rooms for accommodation and all further associated services of the Clever Stay Hotel von Rotz AG (hereinafter referred to as “Hotel von Rotz”).
The contractual parties are Hotel von Rotz and the guest. If a third party has booked one or several rooms for the guest, they will be jointly and severally liable for all obligations arising from the concluded contract together with the guest. In such case, the guest and the third party will be jointly liable.
A contract is concluded if payment of the full booking total is made with a credit or debit card while making an online booking or while making a direct booking at the check-in terminal. Hotel von Rotz will send an electronic booking confirmation to the guest. Subletting or otherwise making the rented rooms available to third parties and using them for other purposes than as accommodation requires prior written consent by Hotel von Rotz.
By concluding the contract, the contractual party obtains the right to the commonly accepted use of the rented rooms and the facilities of the operations of Hotel von Rotz which are commonly available to the guests for their use without particular conditions. The guests are aware that Hotel von Rotz staff is available to a limited extent only and the guest must assume personal responsibility.
The contractual party must exercise their rights according to the house regulations.
2. Booking and cancellation
Bookings are made online or at the check-in terminal. Advance payment of the full booking price is to be made by credit or debit card.
Unless expressly agreed, the contractual party is not granted a claim to the provision of specific rooms.
After the contract has been established, the guest may cancel the contract until 7 days prior to the booked date. If the guest is granted a free cancellation right past the applicable 7-day period in writing by means of a special agreement, the guest may cancel the contract free of charge until such date. The cancellation right expires if the guest does not assert it in writing towards Hotel von Rotz until the agreed date. If no free cancellation right past the applicable 7-day period has been agreed in writing, Hotel von Rotz is entitled to charge the agreed prices upon cancellation of the guest and debit them from the guest’s credit card, unless the reason for the guest’s cancellation are circumstances Hotel von Rotz may be held responsible for. Hotel von Rotz recommends that you take out a travel cancellation insurance in any case.
If a free cancellation right of the guest within a specific period of time has been agreed in writing, Hotel von Rotz is also entitled to cancel the contract on its part if requests by other guests are made for the rooms booked under the contract and the guest does not relinquish their cancellation right upon request by Hotel von Rotz.
Furthermore, Hotel von Rotz is entitled to extraordinary cancellation of the agreement for example if:
- Force majeure or other circumstances Hotel von Rotz may not be held responsible for make fulfilment of the contract impossible;
- Rooms have been booked by provision of misleading or false information for material issues, e.g. the guest’s identity or the purpose;
- Hotel von Rotz has reasonable cause to assume that claiming performance of the operations’ service may endanger smooth operation of the business, the safety or reputation of the operations in public without it falling into the domain or organizational area of Hotel von Rotz;
- A breach of no. 1, paragraph 2 hereunder is present;
- The guest uses the premises to their significant detriment or puts the other guests, the owner, his staff or any third parties living in the accommodation operations off their cohabitation due to their inconsiderate, offensive or otherwise grossly inappropriate behaviour or is guilty of an act subject to punishment towards the property, morals or physical safety of such persons;
- The guest is infected with an infectious disease or a disease exceeding the duration of the accommodation or is otherwise in need of care;

If Hotel von Rotz cancels the contract for the aforementioned reasons, the guest is not entitled to compensation of damages.
