Terms and Conditions

§ 1 Scope

These terms and conditions apply to all accommodation contracts for Holiday House Beilhack and the Bungalow, Türkeiweg 250a, 6791 St. Gallenkirch, Austria ("the property"), between Jürgen Peter ("the landlord") and the guest ("the contracting party"). Deviating terms of the contracting party apply only if agreed in writing.

§ 2 Conclusion of contract

A booking request via the website, by email or by phone is a non-binding offer by the contracting party. The accommodation contract is concluded only upon the landlord's written booking confirmation (email). The landlord may require a deposit (§ 4). The confirmation states property, period, number of persons and total price.

If a contracting party books on behalf of third parties, they are jointly liable to the landlord for all obligations under the contract. The property may only be occupied by the confirmed number of persons; maximum occupancy is 6 persons (holiday house) and 4 persons (bungalow).

§ 3 Prices

The prices published on the website at the time of booking or stated in the confirmation apply. The total price consists of the nightly rate (seasonal), the final cleaning including bed linen and towels, and the visitor tax of the municipality of St. Gallenkirch (currently €2.70 in summer and €3.90 in winter per person and night, children under 14 are exempt; charged and remitted at the statutory rate applicable at the time). Electricity, water, heating and Wi-Fi are included. During the winter season (1 December to 30 April) the properties are let by the week from Saturday to Saturday; otherwise from three nights.

§ 4 Deposit and payment

With the booking confirmation the contracting party receives an invoice for a deposit of 30 % of the total price, payable by bank transfer within 14 days. The deposit is a part payment of the total price. If it is not paid on time, the landlord may withdraw from the contract after an unsuccessful grace period and let the property to others. The balance is due 14 days before arrival; for short-notice bookings the total price is due immediately. Payment transaction costs (e.g. international transfers) are borne by the contracting party.

§ 5 Cancellation by the contracting party, cancellation fees

Cancellation must be declared in writing (email); receipt by the landlord is decisive. Cancellation is free of charge up to 60 days before arrival. Thereafter the following cancellation fees apply:

• cancellation between 60 and 30 days before arrival: 30 % of the total price
• cancellation between 30 and 7 days before arrival: 70 % of the total price
• cancellation within the last 7 days before arrival or no-show: 90 % of the total price

If the landlord succeeds in letting the property to others for the cancelled period, the proceeds are credited against the cancellation fee. Payments already made are refunded less the cancellation fee; a credit note or statement is issued for the cancellation. We recommend taking out travel cancellation insurance. Early departure does not entitle the guest to a refund for the unused part of the stay.

§ 6 Withdrawal by the landlord

The landlord may withdraw from the contract if the deposit is not paid despite a grace period, if force majeure or other circumstances beyond the landlord's control make performance impossible, or if the property was booked on the basis of misleading statements of material facts. In these cases payments made are refunded; no further claims exist unless the landlord is at fault.

§ 7 Arrival and departure

The property is available on the day of arrival from 16:30 and must be vacated on the day of departure by 08:30. Different times may be agreed; late vacating entitles the landlord to charge an additional day. Key handover is arranged individually. The contracting party is obliged to register all guests for the statutory registration form (name, date of birth, nationality, address, ID data).

§ 8 Use of the property, house rules

The property may only be used for residential purposes by the registered persons; subletting, parties and events are not permitted. Smoking is prohibited throughout the property. Pets are only allowed with the landlord's prior consent and, where applicable, for an additional charge. Quiet hours (22:00–07:00) must be observed. The contracting party treats furnishings and equipment with care, separates waste according to municipal rules and leaves the property swept clean and in good order (dishes washed, rubbish disposed of).

§ 9 Liability of the contracting party

The contracting party is liable to the landlord for damage culpably caused by them, their fellow travellers or visitors to the property, its furnishings or inventory. Damage must be reported immediately. The landlord may agree a reasonable security deposit, which is refunded after the property has been returned undamaged.

§ 10 Liability of the landlord

The landlord is liable for damage to the contracting party in accordance with statutory provisions; liability for slight negligence is excluded except for personal injury. For items brought in, the landlord is liable under §§ 970 ff of the Austrian Civil Code; valuables must be kept safe. The landlord gives no warranty for the use of Wi-Fi, streaming services, terrace, garden, garage and parking spaces, nor for the information in the leisure guide (tours, opening hours, third-party prices); leisure activities are undertaken at your own risk. The landlord is not liable for supply failures (electricity, water, internet) for which they are not responsible.

§ 11 Data protection

Personal data are processed solely for contract performance, invoicing and fulfilment of statutory registration obligations. Details in the privacy policy.

§ 12 Final provisions

Austrian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Place of performance is St. Gallenkirch. For actions against the landlord the competent court at the landlord's registered seat has jurisdiction; for consumers the mandatory places of jurisdiction under the Austrian Consumer Protection Act apply. Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
