§ 2 Definitions
2.1 Definitions of terms: "Proprietor": Is a natural or legal person who accommodates guests for a
fee. "Guest": Is a natural person who makes use of accommodation. As a rule, the guest is also a
contractual partner. Guests who travel with the contractual partner (e.g. family members, friends,

"Contractual partner": Is a natural or legal person at home or abroad who concludes an
accommodation contract as a guest or for a guest.
"Consumer" and "entrepreneur": The terms are to be understood within the meaning of the
Consumer Protection Act 1979 as amended.
"Accommodation contract": Is the contract concluded between the accommodation provider and
the contractual partner, the content of which is subsequently regulated in more detail.

§3 Execution of agreement – down payment
3.1 The accommodation contract is concluded by the acceptance of the contract partner's order by
the accommodation provider. Electronic declarations shall be deemed to have been received if the
party for whom they are intended can retrieve them under normal circumstances and access is made
during the advertised business hours of the Proprietor.
3.2 The Accommodation Provider is entitled to conclude the Accommodation Contract on condition
that the Contracting Party makes a deposit. In this case, the Proprietor is obliged to inform the
Contractual Partner of the required down payment before accepting the written or oral order of the
Contractual Partner. An accommodation contract is only concluded by the written booking
confirmation by the accommodation provider.
3.3 The contractual partner is obliged to pay the deposit no later than 7 days (incoming) after
completion of the booking. The costs for the money transaction (e.g. transfer fees) shall be borne by
the contractual partner. For credit and debit cards, the respective conditions of the card companies
apply.
3.4 The down payment is a partial payment on the agreed fee.

§ 4 Start and end of accommodation
4.1 The contractual partner has the right, if the accommodation provider does not offer another
reference time, to move into the rented rooms from 15.00 o'clock of the agreed day ("arrival day").
4.2 If a room is used for the first time before 6.00 a.m., the previous night counts as the first
overnight stay.
4.3 The rented rooms are to be vacated by the contractual partner on the day of departure by 11.00
a.m. The Proprietor is entitled to charge an additional day if the rented rooms have not been vacated
in due time.

§5 Rescission of the Accommodation agreement– cancellation fee Rescission by the Proprietor
5.1 If the accommodation contract provides for a down payment and the down payment has not
been made by the contractual partner on time, the accommodation provider may withdraw from the
accommodation contract without a grace period.
5.2 If the guest does not appear by 10.00 p.m. on the agreed day of arrival, there is no obligation to
stay, unless a later arrival time has been agreed.
5.3 Up to 3 months before the agreed date of arrival at the latest (with the exception of
unforeseeable events, e.g. Pandemics, hotel closures) of the contractual partner, the accommodation
contract may be terminated by the accommodation provider, for objectively justified reasons, unless
otherwise agreed, by unilateral declaration.
Rescission by the contractual partner – cancellation fee
5.4 The accommodation contract can be terminated without payment of a cancellation fee by
unilateral written declaration by the contractual partner within the stated free cancellation period.
The cancellation conditions are stated in the respective booking confirmations and may deviate from
the published conditions on www.thecomodo.com due to special agreements.
5.5 Outside the free cancellation period (see booking confirmation or under www.thecomodo.com),
a withdrawal by unilateral declaration of the contractual partner is only possible with payment of the
stated cancellation fee. The conditions according to the booking confirmation apply
Prevention of arrival
5.7 If the contractual partner cannot appear in the accommodation facility on the day of arrival
because all travel options are impossible due to unforeseeable extraordinary circumstances (e.g.
extreme snowfall, flooding, etc.), the contractual partner is not obliged to pay the agreed fee for the
days of arrival.
5.8 The obligation to pay the fee for the booked stay is revived from the possibility of arrival if the
journey becomes possible again within three days.

accommodation (of the same quality) if this is reasonable for the Contractual Partner, in particular if
the deviation is minor and objectively justified.
6.2 An objective justification is given, for example, if the room(s) has become unusable, guests who
have already been accommodated extend their stay, there is an overbooking or other important
operational measures require this step.
6.3 Any additional expenses for the replacement accommodation shall be borne by the Proprietor.

§ 7 Rights of the party
7.1 By concluding an accommodation contract, the contractual partner acquires the right to the usual
use of the rented rooms, the facilities of the accommodation establishment, which are usually

partner must exercise his rights in accordance with any hotel and/or guest guidelines (house rules).
§ 8 Obligations of the party

a result of separate use of services by him and/or the accompanying guests plus statutory value
added tax at the latest at the time of departure.
8.2 The Proprietor is not obliged to accept foreign currencies. If the proprietor accepts foreign

bear all associated costs, such as inquiries with credit card companies, telegrams, etc.
8.3 The contractual partner is liable to the accommodation provider for any damage caused by him
or the guest or other persons who accept services of the accommodation provider with the
knowledge or will of the contractual partner.

§ 11 Liability of the Proprietor for damage to items of guests

immediately comply with the accommodation provider's request to deposit his belongings at a
special storage location, the accommodation provider is released from any liability. The amount of
any liability of the Proprietor is limited to a maximum of the liability insurance sum of the respective
Accommodation provider. A fault of the contractual partner or guest must be taken into account.
11.2 The liability of the Proprietor is excluded for slight negligence. If the contractual partner is an
entrepreneur, liability for gross negligence is also excluded. In this case, the contractual partner
bears the burden of proof for the existence of the fault. Consequential or indirect damages as well as
lost profits will not be compensated under any circumstances.
11.3 The Proprietor shall only be liable for valuables, money and securities up to an amount of
currently €550.--. The Proprietor shall only be liable for any exceeding damage in the event it has
accepted such items for deposition knowing their quality or in the event the damage has been
caused by itself or its vicarious agents. The limitation of liability in accordance with 12.1 and 12.2
shall apply accordingly
11.4 The Accommodation Provider may refuse to store valuables, money and securities if they are
significantly more valuable items than guests of the accommodation establishment in question
usually give in safekeeping.

does not immediately notify the accommodation provider of the damage that has occurred upon
becoming aware of it. In addition, these claims must be asserted in court within three years of
knowledge or possible knowledge by the contractual partner or guest; otherwise the law is
extinguished.

§ 12 Limitations of liability

negligence, with the exception of personal injury, is excluded.
12.2 If the contractual partner is an entrepreneur, the liability of the proprietor for slight and gross
negligence is excluded. In this case, the contractual partner bears the burden of proof for the
existence of the fault. Consequential damages, immaterial or indirect damages as well as lost profits
will not be compensated. In any case, the damage to be compensated finds its limit in the amount of
the interest of trust.

because all departure options are blocked or unusable due to unforeseeable extraordinary
circumstances (e.g. extreme snowfall, flooding, etc.), the accommodation contract will be

this time is only possible if the contractual partner cannot fully use the services offered by the
accommodation provider due to the exceptional weather conditions. The Proprietor is entitled to
request at least the remuneration that corresponds to the usually charged price.
