1. Scope of Application
1. The following general terms and conditions for events apply to
the provision of banquet and restaurant rooms by the contractor as well as
for the range of services (catering) for the execution of events and
for all related deliveries and services to the client
(hereinafter referred to as the organizer or client).
2. The sub-letting or re-letting of the provided rooms, areas, or display cases, as well as
invitations to job interviews, sales, or similar events,
require the prior written consent of the contractor.
3. The organizer’s terms and conditions only apply if this has been expressly
agreed upon in writing.

2. Conclusion of Contract, Partners, Liability, Statute of Limitations
1. Every reservation of rooms and areas, as well as agreements for other
deliveries and services, becomes binding for both parties upon written confirmation.
All offers are subject to change.
2. If the customer/orderer is not the organizer themselves, or if a
commercial intermediary or organizer is involved by the organizer, they are jointly and
severally liable with the organizer for all obligations arising from the contract.
3. The organizer must obtain the necessary official permits, licenses, etc., for the event
at their own expense. They alone are also responsible for the
obligations regarding GEMA, fire watch, or similar. They must provide proof of fulfillment of the aforementioned
obligations upon request.
4. The regulations of the police, fire department, and
regulatory authorities applicable to the event rooms must be observed by the organizer. The contractor
or their representatives may issue instructions to ensure compliance.
5. The contractor is liable with the diligence of a prudent businessman for their
obligations under the contract. Claims by the client for damages are
excluded. Excepted from this are damages resulting from injury to life,
body, or health if the contractor is responsible for the breach of duty
, other damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent
breach of duty by the contractor, and damages based on an intentional
or negligent breach of typical contractual duties of the contractor.
A breach of duty by the contractor is equivalent to that of a legal
representative or vicarious agent. Should disruptions or defects occur in the
services of the contractor, the contractor will endeavor to provide a remedy upon knowledge or
immediate complaint by the client. The
client is obliged to contribute what is reasonable to
remedy the disruption and keep any potential damage to a minimum. Furthermore, the client is
obliged to inform the contractor in good time of the possibility of
exceptionally high damage occurring.
6. All claims against the contractor generally expire in one year from the
statutory commencement of the limitation period. Claims for damages expire
in three years, regardless of knowledge. The reductions in the limitation period do not apply to
claims based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the
contractor.

3. Services, Prices, Payment
1. The agreed prices include the respective statutory value-added tax. If
net prices have been expressly offered, these are payable plus statutory VAT.
An increase in value-added tax after the conclusion of the contract is at the expense of the
organizer. If the period between the conclusion of the contract and the
event exceeds 4 months and the price generally charged by the contractor for such
services increases, the contractually agreed price may be increased appropriately,
but by no more than 10%.
2. The contractor is entitled to demand a reasonable advance payment at any time.

3. Invoices under EUR 150.00 are payable immediately after the event.
Invoices from the contractor without a due date are payable within 10 working days of
receipt of the invoice without deduction. A right of set-off or
retention is excluded unless the claim is undisputed
or has been legally established. During the period of default, the contractor is entitled to charge interest on the
outstanding claim for the year at five percentage points above the base interest rate
(§ 288 para. 1 BGB).

4. Withdrawal by the Contractor
1. If the advance payment is not made even after a reasonable grace period set by the contractor
with a threat of refusal has expired, the
contractor is also entitled to withdraw from the contract.
2. Furthermore, the contractor is entitled to withdraw extraordinarily from the
contract for an objectively justified reason, for example if
• force majeure or other circumstances beyond the contractor’s control make the
fulfillment of the contract impossible.
• events are booked under misleading or false statements of essential facts, e.g.
regarding the identity of the organizer or the purpose.
• the contractor has justified reason to believe that the event
could jeopardize smooth business operations, safety, or the reputation of the
contractor in public, without this being attributable to the contractor’s sphere of control or
organizational area.
• there is a violation of section 1.2 above.
3. The contractor must inform the organizer immediately of the exercise of the right of withdrawal.

4. The organizer has no claim for damages against the
contractor, except in cases of intentional or grossly negligent behavior.

5. Withdrawal by the Organizer
1. In the event of withdrawal by the organizer no later than 22 working days before the event, the
contractor is entitled to invoice the agreed rent, provided that
re-letting is no longer possible.
2. In the event of withdrawal from 22 working days before the event, 100% of the rent will be
charged.
3. In the event of withdrawal from 14 working days to 7 working days before the event, the
contractor is entitled to invoice 33% of the lost
food revenue in addition to the agreed rental price, and 66% of the
food revenue for any later withdrawal. If no closer agreement has been made between the parties regarding
beverage revenue, an amount equal to 20% of the food revenue
shall be considered lost beverage revenue to be borne by the organizer.
4. The calculation of food revenue is based on the formula: Minimum menu price –
banquet x number of persons.
5. Saved expenses according to 2. and 3. are thereby settled. The organizer reserves the right to
prove lower damages, and the contractor reserves the right to prove higher damages.

6. Changes in the Number of Participants and Event Time
1. The final number of participants and the selection of food and beverages must be communicated to the
contractor at least 7 working days before the event to ensure
careful preparation.
2. A change in the number of participants by more than 5% must be communicated in writing to the banquet department at least 5 working days before
the start of the event; it requires the
written consent of the contractor.
3. A reduction in the number of participants by the client by a maximum of 5% will be
accepted by the contractor for billing purposes. For deviations beyond this,
the originally agreed number of participants minus 5% will be used as the basis.
The client has the right to reduce the agreed price by the expenses saved due to the lower number of participants,
which must be proven by them.

4. 3 working days before the event, the last specified number of persons is binding.
In the event of an upward deviation, the actual number of participants will be charged.
7. Bringing Food and Beverages / Revenue Guarantee
The organizer is generally not allowed to bring food and beverages to events.
Exceptions require the approval of the contractor. In these
cases, a reasonable amount will be charged to cover overhead costs.
For à la carte events, the contractor is entitled to set a revenue guarantee.
The difference of the unachieved revenue will be invoiced to the organizer.

8. Technical Facilities and Connections
1. Insofar as the contractor procures technical and
other facilities from third parties for the organizer at their request, they act in the name of, on behalf of, and
for the account of the organizer. The organizer is liable for careful handling
and proper return. They indemnify the contractor against all claims
from third parties arising from the provision of these facilities.
2. The use of the organizer’s own electrical systems using the contractor’s power grid
requires their written consent.
Disruptions or damage to the contractor’s technical systems occurring through the use of these devices
are at the expense of the organizer, unless the
contractor is responsible for them. The electricity costs resulting from use
the contractor may record and charge as a flat rate.
3. If suitable systems of the contractor remain unused due to the connection of the organizer’s own systems,
a loss-of-use fee may be charged.
4. Disruptions to technical or other facilities provided by the contractor
will be remedied immediately if possible. Payments cannot be
withheld or reduced unless the contractor is responsible for these disruptions.

5. When renting sound systems or other third-party technology, the terms and conditions of the respective provider also apply.
In the event of withdrawal from the rented third-party technology,
the cancellation fees according to the terms and conditions of the respective third-party provider apply.

9. Loss or Damage of Items Brought Along
1. Exhibition or other items brought along, including personal items, are in the event rooms
at the organizer’s risk. The contractor
assumes no liability for loss, destruction, or damage, except in cases of gross
negligence or intent.
2. Decoration material brought along must comply
with fire safety requirements. The contractor is entitled to demand official proof of this.
Due to possible damage, the setup and attachment of
items must be coordinated with the contractor in advance. If damage is caused by the
attachment/display of items,
the organizer bears the renovation/repair costs.
3. Exhibition or other items brought along must be removed immediately after the end of the
event. If the organizer fails to do so, the
contractor may carry out the removal and storage at the organizer’s expense.
If the items remain in the event room, the contractor may charge room rent for the
duration of their stay. The organizer reserves the right to prove lower damages, and the contractor reserves the right to prove higher damages.

1. The organizer is liable for all damage to the building or inventory caused by
event participants or visitors, their employees, other third parties from their
area, or themselves.

terms and conditions for events must be made in writing. Unilateral
changes or additions by the organizer are invalid.
2. The place of performance and payment is the location of the restaurant.
3. The exclusive place of jurisdiction – also for check and bill of exchange disputes – in
commercial transactions is the location of the restaurant. If a contracting party fulfills the
requirements of § 38 paragraph 1 ZPO and has no general place of jurisdiction in
Germany, the location of the restaurant shall be the place of jurisdiction.
4. German law applies.
5. Should individual provisions of these general terms and conditions for
