As a matter of principle, the hotel does not provide rooms for one-day advertising events of companies located outside of Radolfzell. The hotel reserves the right to inquire about event requests which are not clearly defined in their orientation. Politically or morally questionable events will be rejected by the hotel after examination if necessary. The hotel refers to the special householder’s rights anchored in the BGH.

Deviations downwards that actually occur can generally no longer be taken into account and shall be borne by the Organiser. Exceeding the number of participants requires prior coordination with the hotel in order to guarantee a smooth running of the event. If the number of participants is exceeded, the actual number of participants will be used as the basis for invoicing.4.4 For banquet events with menu/buffet as well as for bus arrangements and group bookings, a deposit of at least 55% of the expected menu and accommodation prices must be paid as a deposit no later than 8 days before arrival.

Decorative materials or other items (including the music band) brought by the client/organizer should be collected again no later than 24 hours after the end of the event, otherwise the Hotel may charge a flat-rate storage fee.4.8 The Organizer is generally not permitted to bring food and beverages to the events. Exceptions require a written agreement; in such cases, a service fee or corkage fee to be determined shall be charged.4.9 Should malfunctions or defects occur in the technical or other equipment provided by the Hotel, the Hotel shall take immediate remedial action. No withholding or reduction of payment can be derived from this. Insofar as the Hotel procures technical or other equipment from third parties for the Organiser, it shall act in the name and on account of the Organiser. The Organiser shall be liable for the careful handling and proper return of such items and shall indemnify the Hotel against all claims of third parties arising from the provision of such items.

5. CANCELLATION / NON-APPLICATION OF THE HOTEL’S SERVICES TO EVENTS                                                                                                                                                                         

5.1 In the event of cancellation of an event, provision costs are to be paid as a lump sum for lost profit, unless the client can prove that a lost profit did not occur or did not occur in the lump sum amount. The basis for calculation is the expected turnover, whereby the order confirmation is always decisive. If no agreement has yet been reached in this respect, the turnover to be lump-sumed is calculated from the minimum menu price (Euro 16.00) plus flat-rate beverage charge (Euro 5.50) x number of persons ordered x number of meals, plus the agreed room rent. On this basis, the provision costs are calculated in % of the expected turnover: Up to 42 days before the date no costs, up to 30 days before the date 20%, up to 14 days before the date 45%, up to 4 days before the date 60%, from 3 days before the date 80% of the expected turnover. In the event that an event threatens to jeopardize the smooth running of business, security or the reputation of the Hotel, as well as in the event of force majeure, the Hotel reserves the right to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the assertion of any claims for damages against the Hotel is excluded.
