§ 7 Stay
The holiday flat may only be used by the persons listed in the booking. Should the flat be used by more persons than agreed, a separate fee is to be paid for these, which is determined in the rental price. In this case, the landlord also has the right to terminate the rental contract without notice.
Subletting and transferring the flat to third parties is not permitted. The tenancy agreement may not be passed on to third parties. The tenant agrees to the general terms and conditions as well as the house rules of the holiday flats. The declaration of consent is made with the booking.

In the event of justified withdrawal, the customer shall have no claim to compensation – no liability shall be assumed for travel and hotel costs.
