General Terms and Condi­tions (GTCs)


SCOPE

These General Terms and Condi­tions (GTCs) shall apply to all guest accom­mo­dation contracts concluded between OSWALD Facility-Management GmbH (Boarding World Heidelberg) with third parties (Guest), as well as to all other services and deliveries provided by Boarding World Heidelberg.

RESERVATIONS/ RESALE

An accom­mo­dation contract has been concluded when a booking is submitted via the website of Boarding World Heidelberg or by the written confir­mation of a booking by the guest.

This agreement, in the form of a reser­vation of ordered rooms, shall be binding on both parties (according to the corre­sponding booking rate and its possi­bility of cancel­lation). No entit­lement to use the accom­mo­dation service in a specific room shall exist. Boarding World Heidelberg reserves the right to rent the reserved rooms otherwise after the reser­vation has expired or the payment period has elapsed (in the case of advance payments). The guest shall receive a binding booking or reser­vation number from Boarding World Heidelberg, and on express request also a written reser­vation confir­mation (by email).

Boarding World Heidelberg reserves the right to define industry-standard restric­tions such as minimum stays, booking guarantees or deposit payments for certain dates.

The resale/rental and/or rebro­kerage of booked apart­ments is prohi­bited. In parti­cular, the subletting of apart­ments and/or room contin­gents to third parties at higher prices than the actual apartment rental prices shall not be permitted. In such cases, OSWALD Facility-Management GmbH shall be entitled to cancel the booking, parti­cu­larly if the guest has provided incorrect infor­mation regarding the type of booking or the payment to the third party at the time of assignment/sale. Use of the apartment for any purpose other than accom­mo­dation is not permitted.

Guests are advised to check the cancel­lation policy in advance for direct bookings and/or if they are unclear about their own booking. Bookings made on the same day as arrival cannot be cancelled free of charge.

ADVANCE PAYMENTS OF THE ACCOMMODATION PRICE

The credit card shall be checked and shall serve as the security for your booking. Boarding World reserves the right to charge the guest’s credit card in accordance with the cancel­lation option and the rate policy of the booking portals.

If the hotel has a credit card for guarantee purposes, the hotel shall be entitled to charge it immediately in the event of any damage incurred. The guest may reserve the right to prove a lesser damage.

A lump sum of € 50.00 shall be charged for the loss or damage of the key posted to the guest. The overnight stay of non-regis­tered guests at Boarding World Heidelberg is not allowed. For each case of violation, the regis­tered guest shall be obliged to pay Boarding World Heidelberg damages to the amount of the corre­sponding usual costs for any additional occupancy of the apartment.
