Despite his obligation to pay, the hosting company has to subtract expenses that could be safed due to the withdrawal. If it is possible for him to make such savings, he is also obliged to do so in the best interest of his contract partner.
  3. The percentages of saved expenses are over-simplified as follows:Withdrawal takes place until 30 days in advance of the booked arrival date: 50 percent of the booking price.

Withdrawal takes place until 14 days in advance of the booked arrival date: 75 percent of the booking price.
After that and in case the guest should not appear on the arrival day: 100 percent of the booking price.

  7. Additionally, all sections in the BGB, concerning cancellation are valid in this contract as well.
