Terms of travel/ General Terms & Conditions

1. legal relations

1.1. The legal relationship between you as customer and ADRIALIN GmbH, Klehestraße 5, 76571 Gaggenau, Germany, entered in the commercial register of the Mannheim County Court under the number HRB 522361 (hereafter ADRIALIN is called "tour operator" or "Operator") is governed by the statutory regulations, in particular in accordance with §§ 651a ff of the Civil Code and in accordance with the following travel conditions (General Terms and Conditions), which meet and supplement the statutory provisions. Anyone who registers for a tour acknowledges that these conditions are solely binding for themselves and for the persons registered with them.
1.2. The General Terms & Conditions can be seen at all times in the catalogue and online (print version).

2. Completion of the travel contract

2.1. The travel booking can be made by persons of age in writing, verbally, by telephone or online through ADRIALIN. With your travel booking you offer ADRIALIN the completion of a legally binding travel contract, whereby you are bound to your offer until there is a written acceptance or refusal from ADRIALIN. The travel contract arises from the sending of the written booking confirmation/invoice by ADRIALIN,which will occur immediately, but at the latest after seven days. Note: the automatic e-mail confirmation of receipt of the travel booking by ADRIALIN which is sent for online bookings is not a booking confirmation.
2.2. Travel agents are only brokers.
2.3. With the invoice you receive the guarantee slip of our insolvency insurance.
2.4. In the event that a property is unavailable, ADRIALIN can offer the customer several suitable alternatives. Neither your nor the tour operator are bound by this new offer. Should you choose to accept this, it is treated as a new travel booking.
2.5. The data provided to us is protected according to the Federal Data Protection Act.
2.6. We are happy to accept customers' requests on booking and pass these on to the landlord or operator. However please note that ADRIALIN cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. Special requests and bookings that have been conditionally accepted and verbally agreed only become valid when they have been confirmed by ADRIALIN in writing.
2.7. Please notify us immediately, if you as travel booker have not received your travel documents at the latest 5 days before the start of travel. In this case we will send you your travel documents immediately, dependent on payment. If you do not notify us and cannot travel due to missing travel documents, this has to be treated a cancellation and cancellation charges apply.

3. Payment

You can select from two payment methods within the booking process:
- payment by bank transfer
- payment by credit card
Bookings made at short notice within 14 days of travel or for bookings within 21 days of travel (abroad) can only be paid for by credit card. When credit card payments are made via the Internet, sensitive personal data such as credit card number, bank sort code, account number, name and address are encrypted using SSL technology.
3.1. Payment
3.1.1 The deposit amounts to 20% of the travel price and is due immediately after the booking confirmation. The deposit is calculated on the basis of the travel price. For booking which are made from the 42nd. day prior to the start of travel (short term bookings)the complete travel price is due immediately.
3.1.2. Payment of remaining amount equals 80% of the price of travel. Payment deadline can be found in the booking confirmation.
3.1.3. The deposit amounts to 20% of the travel price and is due immediately after the booking confirmation. The deposit is calculated on the basis of the travel price. For booking which are made from the 42nd. day prior to the start of travel (short term bookings) the complete travel price is due immediately.
3.1.4. In the event of untimely payment of the deposit or of the entire rent for short term bookings, ADRIALIN can refuse to provide the services. Furthermore ADRIALIN can terminate the contract after a reminder and the setting of a response period. The operator can demand cancellation fees as compensation in adherence with the cancellation levels outlined under point 7.2 or 7.3, under the condition there are no travel defects at this point in time which would justify cancellation.

4. Travel documents

4.1. Upon payment of the rest of the tour price or the whole rental sum, the customer is sent the travel voucher. The travel voucher proves to the travel agency or keyholder at the holiday location (reception, caretaker) or to the hotel of the holiday complex that you are the tenant. It contains directions to the representative travel agency and telephone numbers and the check-in times. The customer should note that the rest of the travel documents will only be dispatched after receipt of full payment.

5. Leistungen, Preise

5.1. Für Umfang und Art der im Rahmen des Reisevertrages von ADRIALIN zu erbringenden Leistungen gelten ausschließlich die Beschreibungen, Abbildungen und Preisangaben in den Katalogen bzw. auf den Internetseiten von ADRIALIN, die für den Reisezeitraum gültig sind, so wie sie Vertragsgrundlage geworden sind, sowie die hierauf Bezug nehmenden Angaben in der Reisebestätigung. Nebenabreden, die den Umfang der vertraglichen Leistungen verändern, bedürfen einer ausdrücklichen schriftlichen Bestätigung.
5.2. The local authorities levy a flat charge that is to be paid per person per day and is called "local tax" or "visitor's tax". Look in the property description to see if this in included in the price or if it has to be paid locally.
5.3. As a rule usual electricity, water and gas usage are included in the price. Bed linen and final cleaning as well as additional services listed as such in the individual property descriptions are also included in the price.
5.4. Other supplementary services are listed as such and are paid on site.
5.5. When the key is handed over an appropriate amount (deposit) may be requested as security for any damage caused. This will be repaid or charged against when the the flat and the fixtures have been returned in a condition according to the rules at the end of the stay.
5.6. The conclusive cleaning of the holiday apartments and holiday homes is carried out by you as customer, irrespective of the final cleaning carried out by the tenant. Conclusive cleaning includes washing up and tidying away of all crockery and cutlery, removal of all rubbish and the sweeping through of all rooms so that a property can be handed over in a clean and tidy condition.
5.7. It is indicated in the programme descriptions whether towels are available in the property or have to be brought. Tea towels are provided by the landlord in some cases, we do however generally recommend to take these with you. Toilet paper (except in the hotels), washing up liquid and cleaning fluid should also be taken.
5.8. Whether a pet is allowed can be found in the individual programme description. A pet definitely has to be registered on booking even if it is allowed according to the description. In the case where additional beds and/or child beds are provided, this will be noted correspondingly in the property description. Additional beds and/or child beds have to be ordered and that order has to be confirmed in every case and this has to be noted on the travel voucher.
5.9. Whether a pet is allowed can be found in the individual programme description. A pet definitely has to be registered on booking even if it is allowed according to the description. Only one pet is principally allowed. If pets are not allowed this does not necessarily mean that there will definitely be no pets in the house, on the holiday camp etc. or that the property you have rented does not sometimes have pets. If pets are principally allowed this does not automatically mean that they are allowed to move around freely everywhere. In many holiday camps, dogs are not allowed for example in the pool area and green areas, and certainly not in restaurants or similar areas. It may also be obligatory to keep your dog on a lead at all times. Dogs are also not permitted in the pools of individual houses. Pets are banned from sections of beach or beach complexes in many places, so you often have to be flexible on this point.
5.10. In the case of special offers, e.g.. 14=10 or 7=5, or percentage discounts on the rental prices, campaigns such as early bird discounts or other offers variable supplementary costs may possibly be due for the full duration of the trip. If the special offer stay overlaps two travel times the discount will always be based on the lowest week or day price.

6. Changes in services

6.1. Changes or deviations in individual travel services from the agreed content of the travel contract, which are necessary after closing the contract and which were made by us in good faith, are only allowed where the changes and deviations do not significantly limit the total travel offering. Possible guarantee claims are not affected as long as the changed services are not defective.
6.2. You are also entitled to the rights named in the previous section in the case of a significant travel change and these rights must be claimed immediately after being notified of a significant change.

7. travel cancellation

7.1. You can withdraw from the tour at any time before the tour begins. In your own interests you should declare the withdrawal in writing. It is important that ADRIALIN receives this declaraion of withdrawal.
7.2. Our consolidated claim for withdrawal charges for holiday apartments, holiday homes, guest rooms and mobile homes is generally:
- For cancellation of up to 61 days before the arrival date: 20 % of the holiday costs, but minimum 75 Euro.
- For cancellation from 60 to 35 days before the arrival date: 50 % of the holiday costs, but minimum 75 Euro
- for cancellation from 34 to 14 days before the arrival date: 70 % of the holiday costs,
- for cancellation from 13 to 2 days before the arrival date: 90 % of the holiday costs,
- On later cancellation or no show: 100 %
7.3. The differing consolidated withdrawal fees for hotels are scaled as follows:
- Up to 22 days prior to travel date 20 % of the travel price but at least 50 €
- From the 21st. to the 15th. day prior to travel date 30 % of the travel price but at least 75 €
- From the 14th. to the 8th. day prior to travel date 45 % of the travel price
- From the 7th. to the 1st day prior to travel date 60 % of the travel price,
- in the case of subsequent withdrawal and if you do not set off on the tour 100% of the tour price
7.4. In the event that you use your rights to find a replacement tenant the cancellation rules will not apply. This is however under the precondition that ADRIALIN as tour operator receives binding notification punctually prior to the travel date, so that the necessary changes can be made Furthermore this is under the precondition that the replacement tenants corresponds to the special requirements of the travel and that statutory regulations or local authority stipulations allow it. With the confirmation of the name change by the tour operator the new travel customer assumes the rights and obligations of the travel contract. ADRIALIN charges 30 € per change for the costs resulting from the changes.
7.5. As tenant it is your right to prove to ADRIALIN as organizer that no or considerably less damage has occurred than the lump sum demanded, for which in every case an administrative charge of 20% of the tour price is withheld.
7.6. Changes within a booking (number of persons if allowed, extension) is carried out by ADRIALIN for a supplementary charge of 30 €. Other canges to the booking are treated as cancellations.
7.7. Changes to a booking may not be made within the last seven days before the date of arrival. Any additional costs that arise due to a change in the booking within the last two weeks before the date of arrival may only be paid for by credit card.

8. insurance

8.1. No insurance is included in our services other than the statutory insolvency insurance (insurance certificate). We recommed that you insure against any possible withdrawal from the tour immediately after receiving written booking confirmation.

9. Recess/cancellation by ADRIALIN

ADRIALIN may renounce the contract before the date of arrival or cancel the contract after the date of arrival:
a) without adherence to a notice period if the customer continually disrupts the trip in spite of warnings, endangers others through his behaviour or otherwise behaves in violation of the contract.
b) without adherence to a notice period if the trip cannot be carried out or is significantly limited due to Force Majeure which could not be foreseen at the time of contract or industrial disputes.
If ADRIALIN terminates the travel contract due to point a), the travel price expires.
If ADRIALIN pursuant to b) renounces contract, all paid amounts are reimbursed immediately, the further requests are explicitly ruled out.
If ADRIALIN cancels the contract according to b) after the day of arrival, then you receive the reimbursement of the holiday costs corresponding to the costs saved by ADRIALIN.

10. Fittings of the rented properties

10.1. In the holiday apartments and holiday homes cutlery and crockery is usually completely provided for the number of people. A refrigerator is definitely part of the basic fittings and is therefore not always explicitly mentioned in the property descriptions. All other technical household devices are only available if explicitly mentioned in the description.
10.2. If reception via satellite or cable is possible it will be shown in the text with Sat-TV or Cable-TV. However this does not absolutely guarantee that programmes in the customer's language can be received.
10.3. If the garden furniture is stated in the description that does not necessarily mean that there is one available chair for every person. Deck chairs and parasols are also only available if they are mentioned in the description of the property.
10.4. All accommodations offered are approved for accommodation in accordance with the local and customary regulations for accommodation. In general holiday properties are thought of exclusively for holiday purposes, which can be seen in the construction and furnishings. The bathroom and bedrooms tend to be smaller, the beds are not what people are used to. Many things are geared predominantly to utility. The holidaymaker should note that different building regulations do not apply in other countries. For example balcony railing and stair banisters are much lower, steps are steeper and doors and windows do not comply with the usual industry standards. The soundproofing of the properties is not always what people are used to, but conforms to the the norm in the country, meaning that sound and noise protection may be different. With holiday houses and flats, landlords often live in the property for part of the year, so sometimes parts of the property are shut away, as their property is in it. However there is always enough storage room and space available.
The normal international hotel classification of stars indicates the hotel standard and is based on the respective category details of the country concerned.

11. Customer´s rights and liabilities.

11.1. You have the right as tenant to use the entire property including furnishings and devices. You are obliged to treat the property and and its inventory, as well as any communal areas, with the utmost care.

14.4. Request for compensation of the damage towards ADRIALIN is limited or impossible on the basis of the international agreements or related legislation which need to be applied on services performed by the service provider, a request for damage compensation towards the service provider may only be made under certain preconditions or limitations or it is excluded by certain preconditions.
14.5. If there is any impairment of performance, you are obliged as part of the statutory regulations to do everything reasonable to contribute to remedying the impairment and keeping any damage minor or avoiding it ". From this arises the obligation to report complaints at once to the representative local offices given in the travel documentation.
14.6. Should the holidaymakers’ issues not – or not adequately – be solved locally, ADRIALIN must be informed by phone, fax or e-mail. In the event of culpable neglect to punctually inform ADRIALIN, the tour operator’s obligation to reduce rent or compensate for damages becomes invalid.
14.7. Service performers (owners, key holders, agents etc.) hold no representative function and are not ADRIALIN representatives, nor do they have authority to accept the complaints and issue or accept legal statements.
14.8. Claims on the grounds of services not provided according to the travel contract can be submitted to ADRIALIN within a month of the contractual end of the trip and must be in writing. Your travel agent is not authorised to accept the registration of guarantee or damage compensation claims. The precondition is that the travel services or the replacement services accepted by you were not provided according to the contract, that you have immediately registered the defects and that no adequate solution was provided. If the trip is significantly limited through defects you can terminate the contract. The precondition is usually that you have demanded a solution from ADRIALIN with a reasonable notice period and this notice period has passed without resolution.

The local court competent for individual vendors as persons for which no general local competent domestic courts exist, as well as for persons who moved their place of residence or sojourn abroad after concluding the contract, or whose place of residence or usual sojourn is not known at the moment of bringing the local actions, is the legal domicile of the operator- Gaggenau = Rastatt Court of the first instance.
