General Terms and Conditions
(hereinafter referred to as GTC)
1. Scope of application
These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as GTC) apply to the temporary, fee-based provision of hotel rooms for accommodation and reservations at the gourmet-restaurant as well as all related services and deliveries, including any advance services carried out for the Guest. Any terms and conditions of the Guest shall not apply, unless otherwise agreed by both parties in advance. Both consumers and businesses operating commercially can be a Guest within the meaning of these GTC.
All services delivered by Mammertsberg Gastro AG are based on these GTC. They form an integral part of every contract. Changes to these GTC require a written agreement between the parties.
2. Conclusion of contract
The contracting parties are Mammertsberg Gastro AG (hereinafter referred to as "Mammertsberg") and the customer/client - hereinafter referred to as "Guest". If a third party has acted on behalf of the Guest, the Guest shall be jointly and severally liable towards Mammertsberg together with the third party for all liabilities arising from or in connection with the hotel stay.
The contract is concluded when Mammertsberg accepts the Guest's booking request. If Mammertsberg makes a binding offer to the Guest, the contract is concluded when the Guest accepts Mammertsberg's quote. In both cases, Mammertsberg is free to confirm the booking in writing without this constituting a contractual requirement.
Changes to the content of the contract are only binding once they have been confirmed in writing by Mammertsberg.
3. Services, prices, payments, offsetting
Mammertsberg is obliged to keep the hotel rooms and/or table reservation at the gourmet-restaurant booked by the Guest available and to provide the services agreed upon with the Guest. The reserved hotel rooms and/or table reservation are only available to the Guest for the agreed period.
Use of the booked rooms and/or table reservation by Guests other than those stated in the original booking, even if in addition to the original Guests, and the provision of services to recipients other than those listed in the booking, requires prior written consent of Mammertsberg, which may be refused without any reason. Any such refusal does not release the Guest from their payment obligations towards Mammertsberg.
The Guest is obliged to pay Mammertsberg the current or agreed fee for the rooms or table booked and the other services used by them. This also applies to services provided and costs paid to third parties as the Guest's request.
Room and suite prices are based on per room and night including service and VAT at the applicable rate. lncluded in the price is also the access to the Mammertsberg garden and the use of the Mammertsberg bicycles. All rooms are non-smoking. Mammertsberg reserves the right to charge any cleaning costs to Guests if smoking should occur. The price for breakfast is CHF 42.00 including VAT per person per day and is not included in the room and suite prices.
All prices are quoted in Swiss francs (CHF). Invoices are issued exclusively in CHF. If the period between reservation and the contractually agreed service provision exceeds 6 months, Mammertsberg is entitled unilaterally and without prior notice to the Guest to charge the respective valid prices at the time of the overnight stay. The menu and beverage prices in the gourmet-restaurant may be changed at any time without prior notice to the Guest.
The prices can also be changed by Mammertsberg if the Guest subsequently requests changes in the number and/or type of hotel rooms or tables at the gourmet-restaurant booked, the services of Mammertsberg or the duration of the Guests' stay, and Mammertsberg agrees to this in writing. Invoices of Mammertsberg without a due date are considered due and are payable without deduction within 20 calendar days of the invoice date.
Mammertsberg is entitled to demand a down payment of up to 100% of the agreed compensation (including VAT) at any time. This deposit can be paid by bank transfer or credit card. The prepayment amount paid will be credited to the invoice in full, but without interest. The deposit is due at the latest and without reminder with the last written confirmation of reservation, unless otherwise agreed. Any transfer costs shall be born by the Guest. If the advance payment made by the Guest exceeds the balance invoice amount, the difference will be credited to the account used for the advance payment - if technically possible.
A cash payment in excess of CHF 1,000.00 or a refund to an account other than the one used for the advance payment will not be made under any circumstances. The Guest is in default of payment if the invoice amount is not paid at the latest on departure or is irrevocably instructed. After default of payment, Mammertsberg is entitled to charge interest at a rate of 5% p.a.. Mammertsberg also reserves the right to prove that is has suffered greater damage. The Guest is not entitled to a plea of set-off.

In any case, the amount of compensation shall be limited to a maximum of the accommodation allowance hooked by the Guest or actually paid on departure (excluding VAT and cash withdrawals). Should disturbances or defects in the services of Mammertsberg occur, Mammertsberg will endeavour to provide remedy upon knowledge or on the Guest's immediate complaint.
