1.1 The following general terms and conditions apply to contracts for the rental of furnished apartments, for accommodation and conferences as well as for all other services and deliveries provided by the apartment provider a-domo Apartments for the guest.

1.2 Deviating regulations are only valid if they have been individually agreed between a-domo Apartments and the guest.

2.1 The contract (accommodation contract) is concluded when the guest submits an application (room booking) which is accepted by the apartment provider. The acceptance takes place through a confirmation of the room reservation.

The room booking can be confirmed orally, in writing, by telephone or by email.

The contract is binding if the guest has fulfilled the payment agreements in the terms and conditions. The validity of the contract, however, depends on the fulfillment of the duty of care towards the rental unit by the guest for the duration of the stay, as noted in paragraph 6.5.

This applies to direct bookings and without the mediation of third parties (online travel agencies). In the case of online travel agencies, the regulations of the respective provider apply.
