Preamble:
Any contracts and agreements related to these terms must be made in writing. Individual agreements (framework agreements etc.) may regulate separate points in more detail and other than given. In all other points the following apply in this order: these terms, separate detailed agreements, HNP house rules, the terms of the cooperative agreement on providing board and accommodation of the hotel and accommodation facilities association with the travel agents association.

1 Contract conclusion
1.1 Contracts are concluded based on these terms of business, as soon as the room/s, spaces, areas, other supplies and services have been ordered and accepted. HNP will confirm reservations in writing as far as possible. the advance payments asked for by the Hotel have not been made by the date requested, the concluded agreement becomes null and void.
1.2 If details of the reservation confirmation deviate from those of a quote or application, the confirmation details other than given are binding on the contractual parties and HNP if the guest does not immediately and explicitly object after receiving the reservation confirmation.
1.3 If the contractual party is a registered trader, he himself is liable for any contractual obligations as well as for any guests he has placed.

2 Reservation:
Each reservation only becomes valid when confirmed in writing (fax, email) by HNP. The confirmation includes a specific reservation number (ResID), the service provided (category, number of guests, period) rates and booking terms. If no framework agreement exists, the reservation is considered confirmed and booked only when the mandatory down-payment (generally 30% of the booking sum) is deposited on HNP’s account. In case of cancellation the down-payment will be charged and retained as a cancellation fee. Unless otherwise agreed, a reservation is considered lapsed if the down-payment has not been credited to HNP’s account no later than 14 days after the reservation confirmation date. HNP reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee in this case too.

3 Hotel voucher
A voucher must include the exact ResID, the accommodation dates and in particular the arrival and departure dates. These dates must be consistent with the reservation confirmation. Any services beyond this will either not be provided by HNP or charged to the guest directly in line with HNP terms. A voucher is only accepted as a form of payment pursuant to a separate agreement. Otherwise the booking sum must be transferred in full before arrival or secured by a credit card or similar. Bookings are charged on the day of arrival. In a case where the guest is to make the payment, this has to be agreed separately and clearly shown on the voucher.

4 Arrival and departure:
4.1 Rooms are available on the day of arrival from 3pm and are held unless otherwise arranged until no later than 6pm. After 6pm HNP is entitled to allocate the rooms otherwise unless another arrangement has been agreed explicitly and in writing.
4.2 On the day of departure the room must be vacated no later than 10am. If the room is vacated later, HNP is entitled to charge 50% of the daily rate. If departure is scheduled after 10am the guest must notify reception accordingly, as long as the Hotel agrees to this; with departure before 6pm the half-day rate for the room is due and after 6pm the full day rate.

5 Cancellations or premature departure
5.1 These must be made in writing and apply to a confirmed reservation (ResID). Cancellations are only valid if confirmed in writing by HNP. Cancellations can be made up to 28 days prior to the scheduled day of arrival at no charge.

Up to 14 days: 33% of the booking sum
