Contract, down payment and balance payment

All payments are made by credit card.
Conclusion of the contract for accommodation takes place between the guest and Mr. Gebhard Haas respectively the company HolidayFlats24. The guest receives an offer after sending a booking enquiry to HolidayFlats24. As soon as the guest has confirmed the offer, the lessor forwards a booking confirmation with amount and date of the down payment and balance payment to be carried out. The contract for accommodation becomes binding for both, the guest and Mr Gebhard Haas, upon receipt of payment. (If a down payment is not possible due to time constraints, the confirmation of reservation becomes binding). The contractual partner is bound to pay the down payment until the provided date (credited to the account) after the reservation. The costs for money transactions (in case of bank transfer only – there are no costs for money transactions in case of credit card payment) are carried by the guest. The down payment is a partial payment of the agreed-upon consideration. The balance payment has to be settled 30 days before arrival.
Payment can be made upon arrival in exceptional cases. This course of action absolutely must be agreed upon in advance and in written form.

The renter must hand over the object in the same condition as it was taken over at the time of departure. The renter is liable for the damage caused by him with the full amount. Cleanings have to be done by the tenants. If this cleaning is not done, a predetermined amount will be charged.
