General terms and conditionsof Klausenhorn campsite
1. Scope
These general terms and conditions govern the rights and duties between the campsite guest and Klausenhorn campsite in Constance-Dingelsdorf. Along with the binding booking, they form part of the camping contract between the guest and the campsite. They also govern the contractual relationship, supplementing the statutory provisions in the Campsite Regulations of the State of Baden-Württemberg. By signing the booking, the campsite guest confirms that he/she has read and accepts the terms and conditions. At the same time the campsite guest assumes liability for any persons accompanying or visiting him/her.
2. Contractual services
The contractual services of the campsite shall be provided exclusively on the basis of the prevailing offers, descriptions and price information in the price lists applicable during the holiday. Information provided over the telephone, collateral agreements and other assurances shall not be valid unless made in writing and shall only form part of the contract if confirmed in writing by the campsite.
3. Booking
3.1 Conclusion of the contract
The basis for concluding the contract is the booking form, completed in full by the campsite guest. This booking request constitutes a binding offer from the guest to conclude a camping contract. The camping contract only becomes effective upon written confirmation of the contract by the campsite for the specified period and for the requested number of people. The campsite guest is not entitled to be assigned a particular pitch or area. Booking preferences shall be taken into account where possible.
3.2 Special booking conditions for pitches
3.2.1 The minimum stay for pitch bookings is three nights.
3.2.2 Requests for specific pitches will be complied with where possible, but cannot be guaranteed. We reserve the right to allocate an alternative pitch. Important note for guests with motor homes: only pitch numbers 186-207, 209-236 and 237-242 can be used. No motorised vehi-cles are allowed on other pitches due to conservation regulations.
3.2.3 Only a very limited number of twin-axle caravans can be accepted during the high season.
3.2.4 The campsite guest must pay a deposit of €50. The guest is responsible for bank charges that can be proven to have been incurred on payments from abroad. On receipt of the booking confirmation/invoice, funds must be remitted without delay to the account indicated therein. If the reservation is taken up, the deposit will be credited in full on the final invoice.
3.2.5 In the event that the campsite guest does not make this payment, or does not make it promptly, the campsite shall be authorised to relet the reserved pitch.
3.2.6 Latest arrival time is 6pm. If arrival is delayed, reception must be advised by telephone as soon as possible. The pitch will be reserved until 10am the following day. If the booking is not tak-en up by this time, the campsite shall retain the whole deposit and shall be authorised to allo-cate the pitch to another guest.
3.2.7 The camping guest may cancel his/her reservation up to ten days prior to the start of the stay. The deposit will be refunded net of booking and cancellation handling fees of €20. The campsite will not refund the deposit in the event of cancellation within ten days of the start of the stay.
3.2.8 In the event that a stay is curtailed due to late arrival and/or early departure, there will be a handling fee of €20 for the reservation in addition to the actual costs of the stay.
3.3 Special booking conditions for caravan hire
3.3.1 The minimum rental period for caravan hire is seven nights, from Saturday to Saturday. We charge an additional fee of €50 for shorter stays.
3.3.2 A deposit of €100 is payable, which will be retained as a security deposit and reimbursed when the caravan is handed over in good order.
3.3.3 The campsite guest will receive a booking confirmation with the invoice for the total rental amount. The booking only becomes legally effective if the campsite receives the invoice amount four weeks prior to the start of the holiday.
3.3.4 Caravans may be occupied from 3.30pm on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 10.30am on the day of departure.
3.3.5 In the event of cancellation by the guest, we shall remain entitled to the agreed rental amount, regardless of any personal reasons for the cancellation. The following fixed compensation shall be due to us in the event of cancellation: up to 30 days prior to the start of the rental peri-od: deposit of €100 (security deposit); up to 14 days before the start of the rental period: 40 per cent of the agreed rental amount, up to 7 days before the start of the rental period: 80 per cent of the agreed rental amount. The total agreed rental amount will be charged in the event of curtailment of the holiday or no show. The guest is expressly entitled to provide evidence to the campsite that the cost savings were significantly greater than the aforementioned cancella-tion charges, or that an alternative use was found for the accommodation. If such evidence is provided, the guest is only required to pay the lesser amount. It is strongly recommended that the guest takes out travel cancellation insurance.
3.3.6 Young people
Young people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Young people aged 16 or 17 not accompanied by a parent or guardian can only be accepted upon presentation of a written statement of consent from their parent or guardian. A form for this is available on request or can be downloaded from the website.
