General Business Terms (GBT)

These current general business terms are part of the contract that are given to us from the organizer who has given assignment for seminars events to the Parimal Gut Hübenthal eG in the following referred to as “Seminarhouse”. Contrary conditions are not valid. The organizer/guest submits to these conditions as well as to all relevant commercial regulations and assumes liability for their compliance by accepting the contract.

1. Legal force

To ensure this online offer for business and in general, the offered goods and services from Parimal Gut Hübenthal, we have to meet the legal requirements of several clauses (Conditions of use - AGBGBT).

These clauses and the complete termination of legal relationships between you and Seminarhouse are exclusively subject to regulations of German law. If single regulations are invalid or will be, the legal force of all other regulations stays unaffected. In place of the invalid regulation use a valid regulation that comes closest to the meaning of the invalid regulation as far as it is possible.

Seminarhouse reserves the right to change these regulations at all times. A particularly indication of a change does not take place. The regulations are to be proved of changes independently and periodically.

2. Prices

All offered prices include all taxes and dues. They are valid until revocation. If the legal tax changes after the conclusion of a contract the prices are changed accordingly. The current prices are valid published under Preise, Storno, Buchung and published in our office.

Bookings made for the year 2019 are subject to a possible price adjustment by the Seminarhouse.

3. Special prices

Arriving one day earlier than the seminar begins is only possible in justified exceptional cases (for example, traveling from abroad).

The departure one day after the end of the seminar is possible also only in exceptional cases. Otherwise the room is to be vacated before lunch, in special situations by even at 10:00 am.

If the rooms are not cleared at that time and the keys are not turned to reception, reception can assess an extra charge.

Bringing food and drinks to the event requires express permission from the Seminarhouse.

Any kind of pets are not allowed with us, since we are an allergy friendly house.

8. Music

If the organizer is planning musical performances, he should give the details to the Seminarhouse in advance. There may be necessary payments of GEMA-fees and amusement tax, so this has to be prepared for by the organizer. The organizer is obligated to give the confirmed forms to us at the latest one week before the seminar starts.

Musical programs have to stop by 23:00 to keep our night-time silence for our guests.

9. Copyrights, Right in your own image

During all seminars, photos, slides, videos, sound recordings or comparable media can be produced both from the Seminarhouse as well as from its associates.

The organizer / guest has the right to request the removal of photos on which he is depicted from the above media, if his personality right is violated excessively. This request is to be brought to the attention of the Seminarhouse. The involvement of legal authorities is only permitted if the Seminarhouse resists timely removal.

The organizer / guest grants an unlimited right of use to the Seminarhouse as well as an unlimited right for the further processing of all leftover photos, slides, videos or comparable mediums, as far as the use meets the provisions of German laws and generally valid, contemporary morality.
