General Terms and Conditions for Holiday Home Rental:

§ 1 Scope of application
Schweden-Ferienhaus24, organisation number 870126-1490, owner: Kai König, Sjöslättsvägen 12, 579 40 Berga, Sweden (hereinafter referred to as the “Agent”) acts as an agent for holiday apartments and holiday homes. The holiday accommodation is rented on behalf of and for the account of the respective owner. The Agent is therefore not the landlord. This is exclusively the respective owner of the holiday accommodation. The rental agreement is concluded exclusively between you and the owner. The agent represents the interests of the owner solely in connection with the brokerage of the rental agreement.
You must be at least 18 years of age to make bookings.

§ 2 Property descriptions, images, availability
The property details and descriptions on this website are based on information provided by the owner.
Photographs and images of the rental property shown on the website are for general information purposes only and may differ in certain details from the actual furnishings and design. Minor deviations (in particular due to perspective, seasonal adjustments, changes in furnishings) that do not significantly impair the contractual use do not constitute a defect.
Distances stated in the property descriptions are approximate and may vary slightly.

§ 3 Booking and Contract Conclusion
Property features (such as equipment, capacity), availability, price components and any additional services are displayed on the respective property page before booking.
Property descriptions and presentations on the website of the Agent do not constitute a binding offer but rather an invitation to submit a booking request for a holiday accommodation.
A booking may be preceded by a non-binding inquiry to the Agent regarding the desired holiday accommodation and its current availability. The booking can be made through the booking methods provided by the Agent on the website.
For a request booking, you will receive an offer by email from the Agent upon request. By confirming the Agent’s offer via email within the period specified in the offer, the rental agreement becomes binding.
For an online booking via the Agent’s website using the “Book now” button (direct booking), by clicking the “Book now” button you submit a binding offer to conclude the rental agreement.
In the case of an online booking, the rental agreement is concluded when you receive the booking confirmation from the Agent via a separate email. For a request booking, you will receive an offer by email from the Agent upon request. By confirming the Agent’s offer via email within the period specified in the offer, the rental agreement becomes binding.
For an online booking via the Agent’s website using the “Book now” button (direct booking), by clicking the “Book now” button you submit a binding offer to conclude the rental agreement.
In the case of an online booking, the rental agreement is concluded when you receive the booking confirmation from the Agent via a separate email.

§ 4 Rental period, arrival and departure
On the day of arrival, the rental property will be available from 4 p.m. The rental property must be vacated by 10 a.m. on the day of departure.
Unless otherwise specified for the specific holiday accommodation, keys will be handed over via a key box. The access code will be sent to you by email one day before arrival.

§ 5 Prices and payment
All prices are quoted in euros (EUR). The prices quoted are final prices, i.e. they include statutory value added tax.
The rental price is based on the current price list displayed on the property page, plus any additional services selected. Depending on the rental property, the minimum rental period stated on the website must be observed. Unless otherwise stated on the website, the rental price includes normal water consumption. Additional costs for electricity, oil, gas, heating (including firewood) are not normally included in the rental price.
For rental properties where ancillary costs are not included in the rental price, energy and, if applicable, water consumption will be calculated on the basis of digital or manual meter readings taken either by the agent, the owner, or you.
The rental price will be invoiced by the agent in one or two installments. Advance payments do not constitute a deposit or security deposit.
A deposit of 25% of the rental price is payable to the agent within 10 days of receiving the booking confirmation. The balance is due 40 days before arrival.
For bookings made 40 days or less before the start of the rental period, the entire rental price must be paid to the agent immediately upon receipt of the booking confirmation and must be received by the agent within 2 working days of receipt of the booking confirmation.
Payment can be made by bank transfer or credit card. For arrivals within 28 days of booking, payment can also be made via PayPal.
Failure to comply with the terms of payment shall constitute a material breach of contract and shall entitle the agent to terminate the rental agreement on behalf of the owner with immediate effect (without prior notice, if notice is not possible). Termination shall not release you from your obligation to pay any amounts due; the cancellation conditions set out in clause 8 shall remain in force.

§ 6 Kaution
In addition to the rental price, a security deposit may be required depending on the property. The amount of the deposit is specified on the website and must be paid either to the owner or to the Agent.

The deposit serves to secure all claims of the owner arising from the rental agreement, in particular for damages to the property, omitted or insufficient final cleaning and for the settlement of additional costs.
The deposit is due together with the final payment in accordance with § 5 and must be paid either to the Agent or directly to the owner, depending on the Agent’s instructions. If the deposit is to be paid directly to the owner, the Agent will send you the bank details and contact information of the owner by separate email after the rental agreement has been concluded.
The deposit will be settled within two weeks of the end of the rental period at the latest. Before repayment, any additional costs incurred, claims for damages and costs for omitted or insufficient cleaning will be deducted from the deposit. If these amounts exceed the deposit paid, you will be invoiced for the difference. If no deposit has been paid, the aforementioned costs will be settled retrospectively by invoice.

§ 7 Pflichten des Mieters
Die Ferienunterkunft darf ausschließlich zu Erholungs- und Ferienzwecken genutzt werden, sofern nicht ausdrücklich etwas anderes schriftlich mit dem Eigentümer vereinbart wurde. Eine Nutzung zu gewerblichen Zwecken oder für Veranstaltungen ist untersagt.
Das Mietobjekt und das dazugehörige Grundstück dürfen maximal von der Anzahl der in der Buchungsbestätigung angegebenen Personen bewohnt werden. Eine Untervermietung ist nicht gestattet.
§ 7 Obligations of the Guest

The rental property and the associated grounds may only be occupied by the number of persons stated in the booking confirmation. Subletting is not permitted.
Guests are obliged to treat the rental property, the associated grounds, furnishings and inventory with care. Guests must also ensure that accompanying persons or anyone granted access to the holiday accommodation behave accordingly.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed, the rental property must be left in the following condition upon departure, even if final cleaning has been booked or is included in the rental price: broom-clean, refrigerator emptied, waste disposed of according to local regulations, dishes washed and put away, oven and outdoor grill cleaned.

Das Mietobjekt ist, soweit nicht ausdrücklich abweichend vereinbart, auch bei gebuchter Endreinigung bzw. im Mietpreis enthaltener Endreinigung bei der Abreise in folgendem Zustand zu hinterlassen: besenrein, mit geleertem Kühlschank, nach Vorschrift entsorgtem Müll, Geschirr gespült und verräumt, Backofen und Außengrill gereinigt. If this is not done or only insufficiently, the resulting costs may be charged to you.
Pets are only permitted if this is expressly stated in the property description.
Smoking is prohibited in all rental properties. Cleaning costs may be charged for violations.
Tents, caravans, or motorhomes are only permitted on the property of the rental property with the prior consent of the owner.
Charging electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, etc. is not included in the rental price and must be agreed in advance with the owner or agent.
The provision of internet access (where available) is an additional service provided by the owner for entertainment purposes and not for business purposes. Access is subject to availability and network conditions. Internet use must be in accordance with applicable laws.
If the owner provides a boat, you, as the borrower, are responsible for the proper use, safety, and handling of the boat. Before using a boat, you are required to familiarize yourself with the applicable laws and regulations in the region and to comply with them and all instructions given by the owner. It is your responsibility to ensure that everyone wears life jackets. Neither the owner nor the agent is obligated to provide you with life jackets. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Neither the owner nor the agent can be held liable for accidents, damage, or injuries related to the use of the boat.

The agent is entitled to terminate the rental agreement with immediate effect if the tenant acts in gross breach of contract despite prior warning. In this case, there is no entitlement to a refund of the rental price already paid.
If the agent or the owner suspects that you, your companions, or persons to whom you have granted access to the vacation accommodation are engaging in activities that violate applicable law, existing guidelines, public order, or morality, the agent and/or the owner is entitled to enter the vacation accommodation. If the suspicion is confirmed, the agent is entitled, on behalf of the owner and/or owners, to terminate the rental agreement with immediate effect and to expel the person(s) concerned from the vacation accommodation with immediate effect and without refund of the rental price.

§ 8 Cancellation policy
The statutory right of withdrawal does not apply to the rental of holiday accommodation and therefore does not apply in this case.
You have the right to cancel your booking free of charge within 7 days of concluding the rental agreement if your arrival is more than 30 days away. The cancellation must be declared to the agent in writing (e.g. by e-mail). The date of receipt of the cancellation by the agent is decisive.
In all other respects, the following cancellation conditions apply:

-Up to 61 days before the start of the rental period:
25% of the rental price

-60 to 41 days before the start of the rental period:
50% of the rental price

-40 to 15 days before the start of the rental period:
75% of the rental price

-From 14 days before the start of the rental period and in case of no-show:
100% of the rental price

If you find a replacement guest for the same rental period and at the same price, and the Agent agrees, the booking may be transferred to that person for a fee of EUR 150 including VAT.
A change to the original booking is possible up to 15 days before the start of the rental period for a fee of EUR 150 including VAT, provided that the agent and the owner agree to the change. Please note that neither the agent nor the owner is obliged to accept changes to bookings. Any change to the original booking from the 14th day before the start of the rental period is considered a cancellation, followed by a new booking. It is recommended that you take out travel cancellation insurance.

§ 9 Force Majeure
The agent and/or owner are entitled to withdraw from the contract and are exempt from claims for non-fulfilment of obligations under this contract if the agent and/or owner are prevented from fulfilling their obligations due to force majeure and/or other extraordinary events or circumstances, including but not limited to war, natural disasters, environmental disasters, other exceptional weather conditions, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine measures, closure of borders or geographical areas, strikes or blockades, fire, floods, official measures or cyber attacks, regardless of whether these events or circumstances were foreseeable at the time of booking, are prevented from fulfilling their contractual obligations or are significantly impeded in doing so. The agent and/or owner will inform you immediately of any cancellation due to the above reasons. Payments already made will be refunded to you minus a 10% processing fee. The agent will endeavour to find replacement accommodation, but there is no entitlement to replacement accommodation.

§ 10 Defects and Complaints
Any defects in the rental property must be reported to the Agent or the owner without delay. Complaints regarding the cleanliness of the property must be reported immediately after arrival. Any damages or defects in the rental property must be reported as soon as possible, but no later than 72 hours after the start of the rental period or after the defect or damage has been discovered.
You are obliged not to aggravate defects and damage and to contribute to mitigating damage.
The owner is entitled to remedy any defects or damage within a reasonable period of time. Early departure before the end of the rental period without the prior consent of the agent or owner is at your own expense and risk. The agent reserves the right to move you to another holiday accommodation of similar price and quality, depending on the severity of the defect or damage, if it is unreasonable to continue to stay in the original rental property due to the defect or damage. Complaints after the end of the rental period will not be considered.

§ 11 Liability for damage on the part of the tenant
If you, your companions or persons to whom you have granted access to the holiday accommodation damage the rental property, the associated land, furnishings or inventory, you are liable to the owner for compensation in accordance with the statutory provisions. Damage must be reported to the owner or agent immediately.
All claims for compensation for damage incurred during the rental period must be reported to you within four weeks of the end of the rental period, regardless of whether you have reported them or not, unless the damage is due to gross negligence or intent.

§ 12 Applicable law and place of jurisdiction
The agent provides its agency services in the name and on behalf of the owner. Swedish law shall apply. Should individual provisions be invalid, the remainder of the contract shall remain valid. All disputes arising from or in connection with this contract shall be settled before a court in Sweden, to the exclusion of any other place of jurisdiction.
