2. Subject Matter of the Contract

The subject matter of the contract is the temporary provision of a booked apartment for accommodation purposes, together with the ancillary services expressly specified in the booking offer. The provision is not for permanent residential use.

Sub-letting, transfer to third parties or use for purposes other than those agreed is only permitted with the prior consent of the operator.

3. Formation of Contract

The presentation of apartments on luxrem.de does not yet constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation to submit a booking enquiry or to make a booking.

The contract is formed when the operator confirms the booking or the guest completes a binding booking in the online booking process and receives a booking confirmation.

For bookings via Booking.com, Airbnb or other platforms, the booking conditions agreed on those platforms may apply additionally or with priority. [ANWALT PRÜFEN: Rangfolge Plattformbedingungen vs. Luxrem-AGB.]

4. Prices, Currencies and Taxes

The prices displayed or agreed at the time of booking apply. Prices for German apartments are generally quoted in EUR, prices for Swiss apartments generally in CHF, unless otherwise stated.

Prices include the applicable statutory taxes and levies, to the extent these must be disclosed. Depending on the location and booking, additional charges such as tourist taxes, guest taxes, final cleaning, supplementary services or fees may apply, if disclosed in the booking process or offer.

9. Check-in and Check-out

Check-in: from [PLATZHALTER: Uhrzeit]
Check-out: by [PLATZHALTER: Uhrzeit]

Different times are only possible with prior confirmation. Late check-out may incur additional charges, in particular where cleaning, subsequent occupancy or operational procedures are affected.

10. Self-Check-in, Keys and Access Data

Where self-check-in is offered, the guest will receive the necessary information prior to arrival following payment and any identity/booking verification. Keys, access codes and access data must be kept confidential and must not be passed on to unauthorised third parties.

In the event of loss of keys, transponders or access means, the guest may be charged for the necessary replacement, blocking or exchange costs, to the extent the guest is responsible for the loss.

11. Occupancy and Use

The apartment may only be occupied by the number of persons confirmed in the booking. Additional overnight guests require the prior consent of the operator and may incur additional charges.

The guest undertakes to treat the apartment, inventory, communal areas and neighbourhood with consideration and to comply with the house rules. The house rules form part of the contract.

12. Pets, Smoking, Quiet Hours

Pets are only permitted on request and after express confirmation. Smoking is prohibited in the apartments, unless expressly stated otherwise. Quiet hours and further conduct rules are set out in the house rules.

13. Damages and Guest Liability

The guest is liable under statutory provisions for damages caused negligently by themselves, fellow travellers or visitors. Damages must be reported immediately.

The operator may charge additional cleaning costs or replacement costs if the apartment is returned in a soiled, damaged or incomplete condition beyond contractual use.

14. Operator Liability

The operator is liable under statutory provisions. For items brought in, valuables, vehicles or personal belongings, statutory liability rules and any mandatory provisions of the applicable location law apply.

Liability for slight negligence is, to the extent legally permissible, limited to foreseeable, contract-typical losses. Liability for losses arising from injury to life, body or health, and for intent, gross negligence and mandatory statutory liability, remains unaffected.

• for the Swiss location: [PLATZHALTER: Gerichtsstand / Sitz des Betreibers / zuständiges Gericht, anwaltlich prüfen].
