After the selection, the price for the booking of the selected object is displayed. The user enters his/her personal data and can check the booking before sending the booking request.
b.    The booking request is sent to the provider. Confirmation of receipt of the booking is sent together with acceptance of the booking immediately after sending by an automated e-mail from the provider. The booking contract is subject to the contractual terms and conditions provided by the provider in the offer in the version valid at the time of booking; this also applies in particular to the user's right of cancellation and withdrawal.

a.    Prices are quoted in euros. The prices quoted by the Provider are final prices and include the applicable statutory value-added tax and any ancillary costs. Consumption-dependent ancillary costs may be invoiced separately. Additional costs, such as tourist tax (local or visitor's tax) may be incurred, which are to be borne by the user. The provider alone is responsible for the correct presentation of the prices.

Users are obliged to inform the platform operator immediately, at the latest however after 14 days, about the faulty transmission of the booking if the users wish to insist on the booking. This information must be provided in writing by e-mail or letter, in any case in a manner that ensures that the platform operator receives the information letter.
d.    upon receipt of the information about the incorrect or failed booking, the platform operator shall contact the supplier in order to transmit the booking.
However, due to unforeseeable events, he cannot guarantee that the provider will accept the booking or that the offered object will be available on the booking date.
