Good to know
Terms and conditions
Please read these conditions carefully before you book.
No fourteen-day cooling-off period
For holiday accommodation there is no statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal in the EU, so our own arrangements apply.
1. Booking
- These terms and conditions apply to all our bookings. Any deviation is possible only in individual cases and after written confirmation by Berghaus Seeblick.
- The person who books is jointly and severally liable for meeting all obligations arising from the booking confirmation, both for themselves and for all fellow travellers.
- We accept booking instructions only from people aged eighteen or over. Bookings by people below that age are invalid.
2. Booking instruction and payment
- Berghaus Seeblick confirms every booking instruction by email.
- A deposit of 25% of the total rental price must be paid within two weeks of receiving the booking confirmation. The remaining amount of the rental price must be paid no later than 6 weeks before the arrival date. For bookings made less than 6 weeks before the arrival date, the full rental price must be paid immediately.
- If the deposit or the remaining balance of the total rental price is not paid on time, Berghaus Seeblick reserves the right to cancel the reserved accommodation. The cancellation conditions remain unaffected, see article 3.
3. Cancellation by the hirer
- Cancellations must be reported to Berghaus Seeblick by email or by telephone. Once the cancellation has been received, Berghaus Seeblick sends a cancellation confirmation and, where applicable, a cancellation invoice by email within 7 days.
- The following cancellation percentages apply to cancellations. Berghaus Seeblick recommends taking out cancellation insurance.
| When you cancel | Cancellation charge |
|---|---|
| Up to 10 weeks before the day of arrival | none |
| From 10 to 6 weeks before the day of arrival | 50% of the total rental price |
| From 6 to 2 weeks before the day of arrival | 75% of the total rental price |
| From 2 weeks before the day of arrival until the day of arrival | the full rental price |
4. Cancellation by Berghaus Seeblick
- Berghaus Seeblick reserves the right to cancel the booking for business reasons up to 3 months before the day of arrival.
- If Berghaus Seeblick cancels the reserved accommodation for any reason, the hirer concerned will be informed immediately and, where possible, an alternative offer will be made. If the hirer does not accept this alternative offer, or if Berghaus Seeblick cannot make an alternative offer, Berghaus Seeblick will refund the amount already paid immediately. The hirer has no right other than the refund of that amount.
5. Changes by the hirer
If the hirer wishes to move to another apartment or to change the rental period, this is possible up to 6 weeks before the start of the rental period of the reserved accommodation, provided another apartment is available. If no apartment is available in the desired period, the conditions for cancellation by the hirer set out in article 3 apply. If the desired rental period is shorter than the period already reserved, the cancellation conditions in article 3 remain unchanged for cancellations by the hirer.
6. Start and end of the stay
- The rented apartment and the rooms belonging to it are available from 3 pm on the day of arrival.
- The rented apartment and the rooms belonging to it must be vacated by 10 am on the day of departure.
7. Pets, dogs in particular
- Pets are permitted only with the prior consent of Berghaus Seeblick and on payment of a fee.
- The hirer is obliged to keep the pet during the stay in accordance with the rules of Berghaus Seeblick and to supervise it.
- The hirer is liable towards Berghaus Seeblick for any damage caused by the pet brought along.
- Mention your dog when you enquire, and we will tell you in advance what is possible and what the fee is.
8. Liability of the hirer
- During the stay in the accommodation, the hirer is fully liable for the rented accommodation, the furniture and all objects belonging to the rented accommodation. Damage caused by the users or by a pet to the accommodation or to other places in Berghaus Seeblick must be reimbursed to the landlord immediately and in full. Berghaus Seeblick has the right to hold the hirer liable retrospectively if the damage caused has not been reimbursed, or has not been reimbursed properly, or if the costs payable have not been settled in full by the hirer. All associated collection costs are entirely for the account of the hirer named in the booking letter. For damage or defects not reported to Berghaus Seeblick by the day of arrival at the latest, the liability of the hirer set out above applies.
- The number of people or pets stated in the booking confirmation is the maximum permitted number. Occupancy by more people or pets is not permitted, and Berghaus Seeblick has the right to refuse access to the accommodation if it is occupied by more than the permitted number of people or pets.
9. Liability of Berghaus Seeblick
- Berghaus Seeblick accepts no liability for loss, theft, damage or injury of any kind.
- Obvious errors or mistakes in the description or the prices of the accommodation offered by Berghaus Seeblick are not binding on Berghaus Seeblick. Berghaus Seeblick cannot be held liable for interim changes to details or prices, or for printing errors.
- The price information in the most recently published price list and on the website is decisive. Price information from earlier editions is therefore invalid.
- Berghaus Seeblick is not liable for damage caused by natural forces, natural disasters, nuclear disasters, attacks, strikes, acts of violence and contact with an aircraft or parts of it.
- Not all the facilities in the description are available all year round, 24 hours a day. Berghaus Seeblick is not responsible for facilities that, for whatever reason, were not available during your holiday. All facilities are used at your own risk. Circumstances may cause facilities to fail or to be temporarily unavailable. No refund can be claimed from Berghaus Seeblick for this.
- Building work may take place near the rented accommodation. Berghaus Seeblick accepts no responsibility for any noise nuisance or other inconvenience.
- Austrian law applies to all our booking agreements and to the agreements arising from them. All disputes arising from a contract may be settled by the competent court.
- These terms exist in Dutch, German and English. If the language versions differ, the Dutch text prevails.
10. Wifi
The speed, the strength and the range of the wifi can be limited by the location of Berghaus Seeblick in the mountains and are therefore not guaranteed. Berghaus Seeblick has, however, bought the best possible system.
Access and availability
As a service to our guests, Berghaus Seeblick offers free wifi access in all apartments and in certain shared areas. We aim to provide a reliable and uninterrupted service, but we cannot guarantee the continuity and quality of the internet connection. Access to the wifi network depends on location, device compatibility and possibly other factors.
Usage policy
The wifi network is intended for normal internet use such as browsing, email and social media. Downloading illegal content, streaming large amounts of data such as the continuous streaming of films or music, or using the network for illegal activities is strictly forbidden. Guests are responsible for all activity carried out through their access to the network.
Security
Although we aim to maintain a secure network, use of the wifi network is at your own risk. Berghaus Seeblick is not responsible for the security, integrity, accuracy or confidentiality of information sent or received over the network. Guests are encouraged to use their own antivirus software and firewalls and not to send sensitive or personal information over the network.
Restrictions
Berghaus Seeblick reserves the right to limit or block access to the wifi network for devices that use excessive bandwidth, disrupt our network or are used for unauthorised activities.
Support
For technical problems with the wifi connection, guests can contact us. Berghaus Seeblick does not, however, guarantee that specific problems with individual devices or configurations will be solved.
By using the wifi network, guests agree to this policy and undertake to use the network in a responsible, ethical and lawful way.
Our advice: cancellation insurance
While you are getting ready for a good stay at Berghaus Seeblick, we want your holiday to be as free of worry as possible. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes lead to changes in travel plans. To protect your booking, we strongly advise you to consider travel cancellation insurance.
Why consider cancellation insurance?
- Protection against unforeseen circumstances. Sudden illness, a family emergency or another unexpected event: cancellation insurance can give you peace of mind.
- Cover before and during your holiday. This insurance gives you certainty before you leave, and it also covers unforeseen events that may occur during your stay.
- Simple and safe. Taking out travel cancellation insurance is a straightforward process that can protect you from possible financial losses.
Although we at Berghaus Seeblick aim to accommodate our guests in every situation, certain conditions may apply as described in our cancellation conditions. To make sure your investment in your holiday is protected, we therefore advise you to work with a reliable insurance company.
We want your stay at Berghaus Seeblick to be memorable, and also safe and free of stress.
