General Terms and Conditions

• 1 Object of contracts

The intermediary service provided by 4yourfairs is regulated in a separate commission contract between tenant and 4yourfairs.

 

• 2 Booking procedure and entitlement to commission

After his request, the tenant gets a non-binding offer from 4yourfairs. In case of any special requirements (allergies etc.) 4yourfairs needs to be informed by the tenant in writing with the booking request. After the tenant agrees to the offer, 4yourfairs contacts the landlord to check the final vacancy. If the landlord agrees to the booking, the booking is completed and the tenant receives a written booking confirmation from 4yourfairs. From this moment, the General Terms and Conditions of 4yourfairs apply to the tenant, the landlord and 4yourfairs. This includes the full payment of commission for the agreed rental period, regardless of the actual signing of the contracts, later reductions in the total rent due to complaints, a possible cancellation of the event or a later cancellation by the tenant or landlord.

 

• 3 Payment of rental fee and commission

The rental fee is due 14 days before arrival and has to be paid directly from the tenant to the account of the landlord. For short-term bookings, the payments will be adjusted accordingly.

• 4 Contract Changes

A change request by the tenant after signing the accommodation contract is to be addressed to 4yourfairs as soon as possible.

Only after the approval of the landlord the contract amendments become effective. In case the amendment causes an increase of the rent, the commission increases accordingly. In this case the tenant receives a revised invoice from 4yourfairs. In case of a reduction of the occupancy or the rental period, the rent and the appropriate commission is not to be reduced or refunded. All agreed changes after signing the contract must be in writing.

Booked and finally unoccupied rooms are to be fully paid by the tenant.

from 34 days before arrival        =   80% of the agreed rental fee

no-show on the arrival date       = 100% of the agreed rental fee
In the event of a cancellation by the tenant, the commission entitlement of 4yourfairs remains in full.
