  1. SCOPE OF APPLICABILITY These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") apply to contracts of Engadinerhof AG as operator of the Hotel Engadinerhof for the rental of hotel and event rooms as well as for other related hotel services. The General Terms and Conditions for Events apply to events. These GTC govern the legal relationship between the customer, hereinafter referred to as the guest, and Engadinerhof AG, hereinafter referred to as the hotel. For the sake of simplicity, the term "contract" is always used in these GTC, regardless of the service in question. The guest's general terms and conditions do not apply. Anything to the contrary shall only apply if this is expressly confirmed in writing by the hotel. The validity period of the offers corresponds to the option date. The hotel reserves the right to sublet provisionally reserved rooms as long as no signed order confirmation has been received. All contract extensions, additions or cancelations must be made in writing.
  1. DEFINITIONS Groups: Groups within the meaning of these GTC are travel groups with a minimum number of 10 booked rooms. Written confirmations: Written confirmations also include e-mail messages. Contractual partners: are the guest and the hotel
  1. SUBJECT OF THE CONTRACT The contract for the rental of rooms, meeting rooms, areas and the purchase of other supplies and services is concluded with the written confirmation of the guest or by implication. A reservation made on the day of arrival itself is binding at the moment of acceptance by the hotel. Amendments to the contract shall only become binding for the hotel upon written confirmation. Unilateral amendments or additions to the contract by the guest are invalid. The subletting and re-letting of the rooms provided and their use for purposes other than accommodation require the prior written consent of the hotel.
  1. SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of the contract is determined by the individual reservation made and confirmed by the guest. The guest is not entitled to the provision of specific rooms, but the hotel undertakes to keep rooms of the reserved category available. If, for unforeseen reasons, no room of the same value as reserved is available on arrival, accommodation will be provided in a room of the next higher category. In the event that no room is available in the hotel, the hotel will arrange for at least equivalent accommodation in another hotel. Any additional expenses for the alternative accommodation shall be borne by the hotel. If the guest refuses the replacement room, the hotel must immediately refund any payments already made by the guest (e.g. deposits). The guest shall have no further claims.
  1. ROOM RENTAL AND RETURN BOOKED ROOMS Booked rooms are available to the guest from 4 p.m. on the agreed day of arrival. The guest is not entitled to occupy the room earlier. If the guest arrives after 6.00 p.m., the hotel must be informed of the later arrival by telephone or in writing by 3.00 p.m. on the day of arrival at the latest, otherwise the hotel may freely dispose of the rooms. Room occupancy by 05.00 a.m. counts as a full overnight stay. On the agreed day of departure, the rooms must be vacated and made available to the hotel by 11.00 a.m. at the latest. After this time, the hotel may charge 50% of the full accommodation price (list price) for late vacating of the room until 6.00 p.m., and 100% from 6.00 p.m. onwards.
  1. PREVIOUS DEPARTURE If the guest departs early, the hotel is entitled to charge 100% of the total booked services. In the event of early departure, the hotel shall endeavor to reallocate the unused services. If the hotel is able to provide the unused services to third parties during the agreed period, the guest's invoice amount shall be reduced by the amount paid by these third parties for the canceled service.
  1. EXTENSION OF STAY Unless otherwise agreed, the guest is not entitled to an extension of his/her stay. If the guest is unable to leave the hotel on the day of departure due to unforeseeable exceptional circumstances / force majeure (e.g. extreme snowfall, flooding, etc.) and all departure options are blocked or unusable, the contract shall be automatically extended at the previous conditions for the duration of the impossibility of departure.
  1. PRICES / NON-REFUNDABLE RATES / PAYMENT OBLIGATION The prices communicated by the hotel are in local currency (CHF or EUR) per room / night and include the statutory VAT. Any visitor's tax and other charges per guest / night are not included in the price. The hotel works with daily updated room rates, which are based on the availability of the individual room categories. The guest is obliged to pay the agreed or applicable prices of the hotel for the room rental and the other services used by him. This also applies to orders placed by his companions and visitors. Any increase in statutory charges after conclusion of the contract shall be borne by the guest. Prices quoted in foreign currencies are approximate values and will be charged at the respective daily exchange rate. The prices confirmed by the hotel are valid. Prices may be changed by the hotel if the guest subsequently requests changes to the number of rooms booked, the hotel's services or the length of the guest's stay. In the event of an obvious incorrect booking due to system-related errors in the booking system (material error of declaration (Art. 24, para. 3 OR), the agreed prices are null and void. In this case, the hotel has the right to cancel the booking without compensation. The hotel is entitled to demand a deposit of up to 100% of the expected total amount upon conclusion of the contract, primarily during the high season, for group reservations or events. Room prices based on the non-refundable rate are already due at 100% upon definitive booking. Loyalty cards and vouchers cannot be credited. The deposit is to be understood as a partial payment of the total amount owed or any cancellation costs. In addition to a deposit, the hotel may also require a credit card guarantee. The credit card guarantee serves to secure the reservation. The final payment will be made on site after further consultation with the guest. An advance payment must be transferred within 30 days of receipt of the reservation confirmation. In the case of short-term reservations, this period may vary and the hotel may require a credit card guarantee for the entire booking amount. If the advance payment or the credit card guarantee is not made on time, the hotel may withdraw from the contract (including all service promises) immediately (without reminder) after a short grace period has expired without success and demand the cancellation costs listed under Section 9 of these GTC. Unless otherwise agreed, the final invoice must be paid in local currency (CHF or EUR) in cash or by accepted debit or credit card at the latest at check-out on the day of departure. Invoices are payable in full within 30 days of invoicing. The hotel may charge a reminder fee of CHF 20.00 for each reminder. In the event of late payment, the default interest rate is 6%. All bank charges or any exchange rate differences shall be borne by the guest. The defense of set-off against claims of the hotel is excluded.
  1. CHANGES AND CANCELLATION OF THE RESERVATION / NO-SHOW OF THE GUEST (NO-SHOW)

For certain rates, however, special conditions apply which no longer allow changes or cancelations (e.g. non-refundable rates). In such cases, the basis for calculation is always the total arrangement.

  1. Cancellation of internet-based bookings (third-party providers) Cancellations of internet-based booking systems are only legally effective if they have been canceled via the booking system of the third-party provider in compliance with the cancellation conditions and accepted by the hotel.
