1.2 These terms and conditions apply exclusively. Deviating regulations must be made in writing and must be approved in writing by HUB Apartments.

§ 2 Conclusion of a contract

2.1 Offers from HUB Apartments are non-binding and subject to change until the contract has been concluded. The accommodation contract comes about through a booking request from the guest or customer and a corresponding booking confirmation from HUB Apartments or, if a booking confirmation can no longer be made due to time constraints, through the provision of the apartment.

2.3 The conclusion of the contract obliges the contracting parties to fulfill the contract, regardless of the duration of the contract. "Contractual partners" are HUB Apartments and the guest or Orderer. Before the customer's arrival, HUB Apartments is entitled to reserve all or part of the payment claims resulting from the contract on the credit card specified by the customer or purchaser; This does not result in the amount being debited. If a third party (“customer”) makes the booking for the customer, he is jointly and severally liable to HUB Apartments for all obligations arising from the contract. Irrespective of this, in such a case the customer is obliged to forward all information relevant to the booking, in particular these general terms and conditions, to the customer.

2.4 HUB Apartments is free to confirm the booking in writing. However, cancellations and comparable declarations are only effective if they are made in writing.

2.5 The subletting or re-letting of the leased premises as well as their use for purposes other than the contractually agreed accommodation purposes require the prior written consent of HUB Apartments, whereby Section 540 Paragraph 1 Clause 2 BGB is waived unless the customer is a consumer. The same applies to the occupancy of the apartments with more than the booked number of people. In this case, HUB Apartments is entitled to request a corresponding price adjustment.

§ 3 Apartment provision, handover and return, security deposit, pets, smoking ban

3.1 Booked apartments are available to the customer from 12 p.m. on the agreed arrival date. The guest is not entitled to earlier availability. Unless expressly agreed otherwise. Unless a later arrival time has been expressly agreed or the apartment in question has not been paid for in advance, HUB Apartments has the right to reassign booked apartments after 4.30 p.m. without the guest being able to derive any claims against HUB Apartments. In this respect, HUB Apartments has a right of withdrawal.

3.2 The guest is not entitled to a specific apartment. If a specific apartment is promised in the booking confirmation but is not available, HUB Apartments is entitled to provide an equivalent apartment in the house. Further claims by the guest are excluded.
