General terms and conditions

1) Agency activity

The company Inselblume Fehmarn (owner Beate Blum) mediates vacation apartments/holiday homes. Contractual partner for the tenant is always the respective owner/landlord.

2) Conclusion of the rental contract

The stated prices are valid for bookings until a new price list is published. With your booking you offer the landlord the conclusion of a binding rental contract. For the landlord, the contract becomes binding only when the booking has been confirmed by us in the form of a booking confirmation and invoice. If the content of the confirmation differs from the content of the booking, we are bound to this new offer for 7 days. The rental contract is concluded on the basis of this new offer if you declare your acceptance to us within this period. No travel contract is concluded, as we are not a tour operator in the sense of the law and for all offers in our price section, including special offers, the accommodation service constitutes the essential main service. Other services are only of secondary importance in each case.

3) Payment

30 % of the invoice amount is due 2 weeks after receipt of the invoice. The remaining amount 6 weeks before the beginning of the rental period. Invoice amounts under 200,- € and amounts for short-term bookings are due immediately. The payment terms will be printed on the invoice. We ask for punctual compliance, otherwise your booking is at risk. If the payment terms are exceeded by more than 7 days, the landlord has an extraordinary right of termination without special prior notice. The tenant bears the costs according to point 4), point 5) and if necessary point 6). The access to the vacation apartment is granted to the tenant only if the rent due by the binding / written booking including the corresponding invoice, is received in full on our account, according to the corresponding payment terms, before the start of the vacation. In the case of short-term bookings (up to 5 days before arrival), payment must be made in cash or by card at the latest on the day of arrival at our office on site. Only after payment of the full rental amount, the tenant will be handed over the key and granted access to the accommodation. Extension days, which are booked at short notice on site, are to be paid in cash in our office before the beginning of the extension.

4) Additional costs / tourist tax

Additional costs like electricity or water as well as the final cleaning are included in the rent.

The amount of the rent and the additional services can be found in our price list during the booking process. The costs for the final cleaning and the booking fee are included in the one-time additional services. The price for the Ostseecard, per adult/day € 2,30 in the high season and € 1,50 in the low season, is added to the final price. We confirm the booking by e-mail with booking confirmation and invoice. It is considered as firmly agreed. Changes in the actual length of stay do not reduce it.

6) Withdrawal by the tenant / Cancellations

Before the start of the booked date, you can withdraw from the rental contract at any time by written declaration. To avoid misunderstandings, this is only possible in writing or by e-mail, not by telephone. Our claim to the agreed remuneration remains valid, even if you do not start your vacation, the reasons for the non-arrival are irrelevant. Cancellations are only possible for the entire period.

Partial cancellation is impossible! In the case of a cancellation, we are entitled to a flat-rate reimbursement of costs as a percentage of the rental amount according to the following scale, but in any case a processing fee of € 50 is due:

- up to 42 days before the start of the trip, no cancellation fees other than the €50 processing fee

- from the 41st day before the start of the trip 100 % of the travel amount

- in the event of a no-show, the entire rent is due.

If the object can be re-rented under the same conditions in case of short-term non-attendance, the tenant has to pay a reasonable extra charge of 15 % of the proportional rent. For booking changes (only possible in the same business year) a lump sum of € 25,00 will be charged. If the rental period remains the same or the rental price remains the same or is higher, no further costs will be incurred. In the event of a reduction in the rental price, 15% of the difference will be charged as a processing fee in addition to the flat-rate rebooking fee. The lump-sum damages for loss of rent and additional expenses can be reduced by subletting or saved expenses. You have the option to provide evidence of a lesser damage.
