Hotel Gletschergarten AG undertakes to provide the services ordered by the customer and confirmed in writing by Hotel Gletschergarten or Hotel Fiescherblick. All prices are in Swiss francs (CHF) and include the statutory value added tax (VAT). Hotel Gletschergarten AG is entitled to demand an appropriate deposit at any time. The amount of the deposit and the payment dates shall be agreed in writing in the contract. If the customer does not fulfil his obligation to pay the deposit in due time, Hotel Gletschergarten AG is entitled to withdraw from the contract after setting a reasonable period of grace. The customer is liable to Hotel Gletschergarten AG for any resulting damage.
