PART A
Accommodation Intermediary Service Arlberg.com GmbH

 
1. Scope of application

The following general terms and conditions (AGB) apply to the use of the accommodation booking platform www.arlberg.com on which Accommodation Providers can offer their services online.
 

2. Definitions

“Arlberg.com GmbH” provides the accommodation booking platform www.arlberg.com and facilitates enquiries by Customers and offers by Accommodation Providers.

“Accommodation Provider” is a natural or legal person accommodating Customers for remuneration.

“Customer” is a natural person making use of an accommodation service. Usually, the Customer is also the contractual partner. Customers are also persons travelling with the contractual partner such as family members, partners, friends etc.…

“Accommodation Agreement” is the contract that is concluded between the Accommodation Provider and the Customer, the contents of which are specified below.
 

3. Contractual relationship between Arlberg.com GmbH and Customer

The accommodation booking platform www.arlberg.com and its online booking system enables Customers to book accommodations in the Arlberg region. Arlberg.com GmbH does not offer any travel services whatsoever. At the present time, the booking system is provided by Zadego GmbH, department Easybooking, FN 311496h at the Regional Commercial Court Innsbruck, Tschamlerstraße 4, A-6020 Innsbruck (Austria).
 

4. Contractual relationship between Accommodation Provider and Customer

On behalf of the Customer, Arlberg.com GmbH forwards an enquiry to the respective Accommodation Provider via its accommodation booking platform www.arlberg.com. The contract regarding the chosen service is valid between Customer and Accommodation Provider. While arranging for proper accommodation, Arlberg.com GmbH acts as a formal agent on behalf of the Customer. The contract is settled directly by the Accommodation Provider via a (written) confirmation (immediately appearing on the screen after the conclusion of the online booking process and also per email).
 

5. Booking an accommodation

The Customer can choose between two separate options to book an accommodation:

5.1. The Customer can send the Accommodation Provider an enquiry via the online platform www.arlberg.com. However, this process does not yet create a binding contractual relationship.

5.2. The Customer can directly enter a binding accommodation agreement with a respective Accommodation Provider via the online platform www.arlberg.com. The intermediary services by Arlberg.com GmbH are free of charge for the Customer. It is therefore forbidden to resell accommodation packages booked at www.arlberg.com at a higher price. In the event of a violation, Arlberg.com GmbH reserves the right to exclude Customers from its services. In such cases, the Accommodation Provider is also able to cancel bookings.
 

6. Payment

As soon as the contractual relationship between the Customer and the Accommodation Provider is entered, the following payment terms apply (unless stated otherwise in an individual agreement): After entering the necessary booking information into the system, the Customer is asked to pay the price as confirmed by the accommodation booking platform www.arlberg.com via online money transfer (credit card, Paypal or Sofort). All demands and liabilities arising out of the service contract, but especially demands and liabilities arising out of the Package Travel Law 2017 in its present version (PRG), exist directly and exclusively between Customer and Accommodation Provider. The Customer receives detailed information before the conclusion of the booking process as well as in the booking confirmation. Said booking confirmation appears on the screen and can be printed out immediately. It is also transmitted via email. Due to technical reasons Arlberg.com GmbH cannot verify the transmission of the confirmation via email. However, a possible non-receipt of the confirmation does not affect the validity of the booking itself.
 

7. Prices and rates

The price offers presented on the online intermediary platform www.arlberg.com are entered directly by the respective Accommodation Provider. This guarantees an accommodation agreement at the best possible, currently most inexpensive daily rate available for the chosen arrival date. Current last-minute, seasonal, weekend or other special offers are automatically taken into account. 

All rates are quoted per room and per night, some with and some without board. Weekend prices may vary. The Accommodation Providers are legally obliged to display the respective final price including taxes. Please note that the prices are all exclusively sourced from the Accommodation Providers. Taxes and dues, to be paid directly at the Accommodation Provider, are based upon local regulations.
 

8. Data and pictures provided by Accommodation Providers at www.arlberg.com

Specific classification data and all other information and pictures regarding the Accommodation Provider come from the Accommodation Providers themselves. Arlberg.com GmbH does not assume any liability for the correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. The international accommodation rating system by “stars” does give non-binding evidence concerning the quality of the respective accommodation.
 

9. Start and End of the Accommodation

Unless the Accommodation Provider offers any other time of occupancy, the Customer shall be entitled to move into the rented rooms from 4.00pm on the agreed date (“date of arrival”).

If a room is occupied for the first time before 6.00am, the preceding night shall be deemed the first night of accommodation.

The rented rooms shall be vacated by the Customer by 12.00 noon on the date of departure. The Accommodation Provider shall be entitled to charge another day if the rented rooms are not vacated in time.
 

10. Rescission of the Accommodation Agreement by the Accommodation Provider

If the Customer fails to arrive by 6.00pm on the agreed date of arrival, the Accommodation Provider shall not be obliged to accommodate them unless a later time of arrival has been agreed upon.

Unless otherwise agreed upon, the Accommodation Provider may rescind the Accommodation Agreement for objectively justified reasons by means of a unilateral declaration by 3 months before the agreed date of arrival of the Customer.
 

11. Rescission of the Accommodation Agreement by the Customer – Cancellation Fees

The Customer may rescind the Accommodation Agreement by means of a unilateral declaration by 2 months before the agreed date of arrival of the Guest without being liable to pay a cancellation fee.

Outside the period specified above, the Customer may only rescind the Accommodation Agreement by means of a unilateral declaration subject to the following cancellation fees:

If a respective Accommodation Provider arranges for more customer-friendly cancellation requirements, the aforementioned cancellation fees are deemed of lower priority.
 

12. Prevention from arrival

If the Customer is prevented from arriving at the accommodating establishment on the date of arrival since this is impossible due to unforeseeable extraordinary events (e.g. extreme snowfall, floods etc.), the Customer shall not be obliged to pay the agreed remuneration for the date of arrival.

The obligation to pay the remuneration for the booked stay shall become valid again as soon as the arrival becomes possible again provided that it becomes possible within three days.
 

13. Applicability of the 2006 General Terms and Conditions for the Hotel Industry (AGBH)

If there are no further agreements made on the basis of the present terms and conditions or the individual contracts with the respective Accommodation Provider such as divergent payment or cancellation requirements, the 2006 General Terms and Conditions for the Hotel Industry (AGBH) can be applied to the contractual agreement between Customer and Accommodation Provider. These are specifically hyperlinked during the booking process and can always be consulted at “booking details”. In case of diverging terms and conditions, the present terms and conditions and in further consequence the 2006 General Terms and Conditions for the Hotel Industry are subsidiary to any individual agreement with the Accommodation Provider, if applicable.

5. Regulations in accordance with the Package Travel Law

If a Customer books at least 2 separate travel services via the online platform, this is considered a combination of travel services as defined by the EU Directive 2015/2302. In such an event, the Customer can claim all EU rights applicable to package travel. In addition to the respective Accommodation and Service Providers, Arlberg.com GmbH is co-responsible for the proper conduct of the entire package holiday and the tourist-oriented services.

In accordance with § 11 Abs. 2 PRG, the Customer is obliged to notify Arlberg.com GmbH immediately of every infringement of contract observed during the conduct of the package holiday.

The Customer may transfer the package travel contract to another person meeting all agreed contract criteria. For this purpose, the Customer needs to notify Arlberg.com GmbH within an appropriate period of time before the start of the package holiday on a durable data carrier. In this regard, a notification seven days before the start of the package holiday is deemed appropriate.

As joint debtors, the Customer transferring the package holiday contract and the person accepting the contract assume the liability to compensate the Arlberg.com for the outstanding amount of the service fee and the additional fees, charges and costs caused by aforementioned transfer. Arlberg.com GmbH communicates the effective transfer costs to the Customer transferring the contract. These costs must not be inappropriate and must not exceed the effective expenses of Arlberg.com GmbH resulting from the transfer of the package holiday contract.

The Customer transferring the contract shall receive a receipt declaring the additional fees, charges and costs resulting from the transfer of the package holiday contract.
