GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

General terms and conditions Landgoed Altenbroek

1. Agreement

Except for special written provisions emanating from a person authorised to do so, these general terms and conditions apply to all undertakings of Landgoed Altenbroek represented by AB Operations BV.

These terms and conditions are listed on the website www.altenbroek.com. As a result, they have been sufficiently brought to our attention. Tacit acceptance is sufficiently evidenced by visiting our premises or receiving our documents or services.

2. Terms of payment

Our invoices are payable on invoice date without discount. Individual guests must, under penalty of automatic cancellation, provide a credit card guarantee at the time of booking. If the invoice has not been paid in full after 30 days, the guest shall automatically be liable for a 5% penalty on the invoice amount.
 Interest and damages are payable by the mere fact of non-payment. Payments after delay in payment shall first be charged on interest and damages, only then on the invoice amount. Under no circumstances may a guest'
s failure to take
 possession of the accommodation made available, incomplete and/or disputed accommodation and/or reservation and/or service be used as a pretext for late payment. Any delay in payment shall entitle the hotel to cancel unilaterally and without compensation to the purchaser, all existing and unfulfilled contracts, as well as to stop any execution of current contracts.

3. Description

The descriptions, sizes and colours, as well as details of photos and/or drawings in quotations, catalogues, website, booking sites and social media are purely informative and never binding.

4. Check-in and check-out

Booked accommodation is available from 15:00 on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 11:00 on the day of departure. If a guest with a guaranteed reservation does not show up by the specified time, the hotel is entitled by law to charge the guest compensation equal to the price of the total reservation value including any additional services requested.

5. Complaints

Any complaint regarding accommodation, goods and/or invoice must be reported to the hotel by the guest as soon as possible during their stay, in order to give the hotel the opportunity to resolve the complaint immediately.

In any event, the complaint must be made, on pain of lapse, within eight days of the delivery, service and/or invoice, in writing.

6. Force majeure

In the event of force majeure, unforeseeable incidents beyond its control and/or exceptional circumstances, the hotel reserves the right to accommodate the guest at a fellow hotel, if possible in the vicinity, without any compensation.

7. Damage

Any damage caused by the guest to accommodation, furnishings and/or other items belonging to the hotel or to third parties with which the hotel has relations, shall be paid for in cash, without discussion, at the latest before departure of the guest, in accordance with a statement of the hotel which the guest accepts. Regarding the parking of vehicles in the hotel's car park and garage, as well as in installations belonging to third parties with which the hotel maintains relations, it is agreed that the hotel shall be released from any responsibility whatsoever, such as, but without limitation, damage, theft and/or disappearance of the vehicle or objects in it and/or attached to it and/or lying on it, as well as, for example, bodily injury to guests or third parties caused by whomever or whatever may be present in these places.

8. Disputes

In any dispute, wherever the act, service or agreement takes place, only the court is competent and only in accordance with Belgian law. Neither exchanges nor different payment methods alter this jurisdiction. The guest accepts these general terms and conditions at the time of booking. The guest declares to know, understand and agree to these terms and conditions, and also to comply with the hotel's usual housekeeping regulations and the instructions given to him by the hotel staff. The hotel is entitled at any time and without notice to terminate the provision of Catering Services to a Guest, if the Guest repeatedly breaks the house rules, or otherwise behaves in such a way that the order and peace and quiet in the Catering Establishment and/or the normal running of the hotel may be or is disturbed. In that case, the Guest must leave the hotel upon first request.
