Terms and Conditions

I. Scope of Application, Conclusion of Contract

The Mühlviertel Tourism Association acts as an intermediary in its business relationship with a booking party. A contract is therefore concluded between the booking party and the accommodation provider (AP). The following General Terms and Conditions, in the version valid at the time of booking, apply to this contract. Any mutual claims arising from this contract may only be asserted against the direct contractual partner and without any liability or joint liability on the part of the Mühlviertel Tourism Association. The Mühlviertel Tourism Association will agree with the booker that the “General Terms and Conditions for the Hotel Industry (ÖHVB)” adopted by the hotel industry on November 15, 2006, as well as the supplementary General Terms and Conditions listed here, shall be legally binding for the accommodation contract and for the mediation thereof.

II. The following excerpts are taken from the current General Terms and Conditions for Accommodation (AGBH) 2006, specifically the section titled “Withdrawal from the Accommodation Contract – Cancellation Fee” (§ 5):

• 5.1 If the accommodation contract provides for a deposit and the contracting party has not paid the deposit by the due date, the accommodation provider may withdraw from the accommodation contract without granting a grace period.
   
• 5.4 Up to 92 days before the contractual partner’s agreed arrival date, the accommodation contract may be terminated by the accommodation provider through a unilateral declaration for objectively justified reasons, unless otherwise agreed.
   
• 5.5 Up to 92 days before the guest’s agreed arrival date, the accommodation contract may be terminated by the contracting party through a unilateral declaration without payment of a cancellation fee.
