§ 1 Scope of Application

These General Terms and Conditions apply to all contracts for the rental of apartments or other accommodation units for accommodation purposes as well as to all related services provided by HMA Immobilien GmbH, Gutleutstraße 165–171, 60327 Frankfurt am Main, in the apartments, boardinghouses and accommodation establishments operated by it. These General Terms and Conditions shall apply exclusively. Any deviating terms and conditions of the Guest shall not apply unless their validity has been expressly confirmed by HMA Immobilien GmbH in text form.


§ 2 Conclusion of Contract and Contracting Parties

The Accommodation Agreement is concluded upon confirmation of the booking by HMA Immobilien GmbH or by the booking system used. The contracting parties are HMA Immobilien GmbH and the Guest. If the booking is made by a third party, in particular by a company, that third party shall be liable alongside the Guest for all obligations arising from the Accommodation Agreement, provided that the booking was made in its own name or for its own account. Subletting, transferring or otherwise allowing third parties to use the apartment is not permitted. The same applies to use for purposes other than accommodation, in particular for commercial use, events, photo or film productions, sales activities or comparable purposes. Exceptions require the prior consent of HMA Immobilien GmbH in text form. The Guest is not entitled to the provision of a specific apartment unless this has been expressly confirmed in text form. HMA Immobilien GmbH is entitled to provide an equivalent apartment.


§ 3 Services, Prices and Payment

HMA Immobilien GmbH is obliged to make the booked apartment or an equivalent apartment available for the booked period and to provide the agreed services. The Guest is obliged to pay the applicable or agreed prices for the use of the apartment and for any additional services used by the Guest. The stated prices include the applicable statutory VAT, where applicable. A valid credit card is required for every booking. The credit card serves as a guarantee for the reservation and as security for outstanding claims arising from the stay. Payment, authorization or charging of the credit card shall be governed by the rate booked. For non-refundable rates, payment may be made immediately after booking or in accordance with the conditions displayed during the booking process. For cancellable rates, the credit card may be authorized or charged no later than from the point at which the booking can no longer be cancelled free of charge in accordance with the rate conditions. For stays of 28 nights or more, the special payment and billing conditions for long-term stays pursuant to § 7 shall additionally apply. For corporate customers, invoicing or alternative payment arrangements may be agreed in advance. There is no entitlement to payment by invoice. In the event of late payment, HMA Immobilien GmbH is entitled to claim statutory default interest as well as verifiable reminder and processing costs. The Guest may only offset claims that are undisputed or have been finally established by a court.


§ 4 Credit Card Guarantee and Security

As a general rule, no separate security deposit is required. However, HMA Immobilien GmbH is entitled to require a valid credit card as security. Within the scope of the payment authorization granted and the terms and conditions of the respective payment service provider, due and justified claims arising from or in connection with the stay may be charged to this credit card. These include in particular: • outstanding accommodation charges or additional services, • damage to the apartment, inventory or building, • costs for special cleaning, • costs resulting from late check-out, • costs resulting from unauthorized use, • other additional costs caused by the Guest. The Guest is obliged to ensure that the payment method provided remains valid and has sufficient funds available throughout the entire stay.


§ 5 Provision of the Apartment, Check-in and Check-out

Booked apartments are available to the Guest from 3:00 p.m. on the day of arrival. Check-in is contactless and carried out as a self-check-in. The access codes will be provided to the Guest in good time before arrival, provided that all required information has been submitted in full and the booking has been properly confirmed. Early check-in is only possible subject to availability. A request may be submitted on the day of arrival via the check-in form and, if available, booked as an additional service. On the day of departure, the apartment must be vacated no later than 11:00 a.m. Late check-out is only possible subject to availability. A request may be submitted on the day of departure via the relevant form and, if available, booked as an additional service. If the apartment continues to be used after 11:00 a.m. without prior consent, HMA Immobilien GmbH is entitled to charge reasonable compensation for continued use. For use until 6:00 p.m., up to 80% of the regular daily rate may be charged. For use beyond 6:00 p.m., the full regular daily rate may be charged. Both parties reserve the right to prove that the actual loss was lower or higher. The apartment must be left in a proper condition upon departure. Personal belongings, food brought into the apartment and waste must be removed or disposed of properly.


§ 6 Cancellation, No-Show and Early Departure

The cancellation conditions displayed during the booking process for the respective booked rate shall apply. For cancellable bookings with a stay of less than 28 nights, cancellation is free of charge up to 14 days before the planned arrival date. For stays of 28 nights or more, the stay may be cancelled free of charge up to 30 days before the planned arrival date. For subsequent billing periods of a long-term stay, the stay may be shortened free of charge up to 30 days before the beginning of the respective future billing period concerned. After expiry of this period, the respective billing period becomes binding and may be charged in accordance with the agreed rate and payment conditions. Any deviating or stricter conditions applicable to a rate expressly booked as non-refundable shall remain unaffected. For non-refundable rates, free cancellation is excluded unless otherwise stated during the booking process. After expiry of the applicable free cancellation period, HMA Immobilien GmbH may charge cancellation costs in accordance with the conditions of the booked rate. If the Guest does not arrive on the scheduled arrival date and the booking has not been cancelled within the applicable period, this shall be deemed a no-show. In this case, costs may be charged in accordance with the conditions of the booked rate. In the event of early departure after check-in, there is generally no entitlement to a refund for nights or billing periods that have already become binding or can no longer be cancelled free of charge, unless expressly agreed otherwise. HMA Immobilien GmbH is entitled to re-let apartments that are not used. Any credit for expenses saved or income generated through re-letting shall be made in accordance with the statutory provisions.


§ 7 Long-Term Stays

For stays of 28 nights or more, billing is carried out in consecutive billing periods of 28 nights each. A final billing period may be shorter depending on the remaining duration of the stay. The first billing period begins on the check-in date. Each subsequent billing period begins immediately after the preceding period. For the first billing period, the Guest will receive an invoice preview after booking. The outstanding amount for this period is due no later than three days before the scheduled check-in. Subsequent billing periods will be made available to the Guest for payment 14 days before the beginning of the respective period. At this time, an invoice preview for the upcoming billing period may be provided to the Guest. The Guest may pay the outstanding amount from this point onwards. The remaining outstanding amount for the respective billing period is due no later than three days before the beginning of that billing period. If an amount remains outstanding at the respective due date, HMA Immobilien GmbH is entitled to collect the remaining outstanding amount using the payment method provided for the booking. Payments and partial payments already made will be taken into account. Only the amount still outstanding at the respective due date will be collected automatically. The invoice preview provided in advance serves to provide information about the respective billing period and does not replace the final invoice. The final invoice for the respective billing period will be issued after the services for that billing period have been fully provided or posted. Alternative invoicing or payment arrangements may be agreed in advance for corporate customers. Cancellation or shortening of future billing periods shall be governed by § 6 of these General Terms and Conditions. An extension of the stay is only possible subject to availability and prior confirmation by HMA Immobilien GmbH. There is no entitlement to an extension.

The Guest reserves the right to prove that no damage or cleaning costs were incurred or that they were significantly lower. The right to claim demonstrably higher damages remains reserved. This applies in particular to additional damage or costs caused by fire alarm systems, fire brigade call-outs or loss of use. Pets are not permitted. In the event of a violation, additional cleaning costs, damages or loss-of-use costs may be charged. Parties, events and comparable gatherings are not permitted.
