Phantasialand Hotels
(1) Scope of application
(1.1) These Terms and Conditions of Business apply for all hotel services, in particular the assignment of hotel rooms, conference and banquet halls, and other rooms. If a third party has placed an order on a customer’s behalf, they shall be liable to the hotel with the customer as the joint debtor.
(1.2) Customers are not permitted to sub-let or rent out rented rooms unless the hotel has provided written consent to a written request.
(1.3) Only these Terms and Conditions of Business are binding and recognised for the contract concluded; other terms and conditions of business, such as those issued by the customer, shall not be recognised.
(2) Conclusion of the contract, contract partner
(2.1) The contract partners are the hotel and the customer.
(2.2) The contract is concluded upon the hotel’s confirmation of the order with the customer (standard designation for the ordering party, organiser, guest, etc.).
(3) Prices, advance payments
(3.1) Prices are determined on the basis of the price list valid at the time the services are rendered and include the rate of value added tax valid at that time.
(3.2) If fixed prices are specified in the order confirmation and there is more than 4 months between the conclusion of the contract and the rendering of services, the hotel is fundamentally entitled to correct these prices up to the limit of the price list valid at the time the services are rendered. If the rate of value added tax is increased between the conclusion of the contract and the rendering of services, the hotel is also entitled to adjust the price retrospectively.
(3.3) Upon conclusion of the contract, the hotel is entitled to request appropriate advance payment from the customer and/or third party; this payment normally amounts to 100% of the services booked. If payment in advance is agreed and the customer fails to make this payment on time, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract and claim any damages incurred as a result from the customer.
(3.4) Furthermore, at the start and for the duration of the customer’s stay, the hotel is entitled to request appropriate advance payment or a deposit within the meaning of the above Item 3.3. for current and future claims arising from the contract unless these have already been paid in accordance with the aforementioned Item 3.3.
(4) Payment for services
(4.1) The customer undertakes to pay the applicable or agreed prices for all services ordered from the hotel, all services rendered by the hotel and all services used during the duration of the stay. This applies particularly to services requested by the customer from the hotel and/or the hotel’s expenditure to third parties.
(4.2) The hotel’s invoices are due immediately upon rendering of the hotel or upon departure from the hotel. Furthermore, the hotel is entitled at any time to charge for claims accrued at any time and request immediate payment.
(4.3) If payment upon receipt of invoice has been agreed, the invoice amount is due upon issuing of the invoice and must be paid in full to the hotel within 10 days. Payment shall be deemed in default upon receipt of the first reminder. In the event of a payment default by the customer, the hotel shall be entitled to apply interest for late payment in the amount of 4% above the base interest rate for current accounts at the principal bank from the 10th day after the invoice was issued.
(4.4) Furthermore, a reminder fee of EUR 6.00 shall be due for each reminder issued after the 10th day from the invoice being issued.
(4.5) The customer is only able to off-set or reduce claims by the hotel against undisputed or legally valid claims.
(4.6) The customer agrees that their invoice can also be sent electronically.
(5) Withdrawal by the customer (cancellation)/failure to use the agreed services (no-show)
(5.1) The customer is only able to withdraw from the contract concluded with the hotel if a right to withdraw has been expressly agreed in the contract, a statutory right to withdraw applies or if the hotel expressly agrees to a cancellation of the contract.
(5.2) If the hotel and customer have agreed on a deadline for free withdrawal from the contract, the customer is able to withdraw from the contract up to this date without triggering any rights of the hotel to payment claims or claims for damages.
(5.3) If a right to withdraw has not been agreed or has already expired, if no statutory rights to withdraw from or terminate the contract apply, and if the hotel does not agree to a cancellation of the contract, the hotel reserves the right to claim the agreed remuneration even though the agreed services were not used.
(5.4) For booked services and rooms rented out under the hotel agreement, remuneration is also due if the booking is later cancelled by the customer or the customer is a no-show (Section 552 of the German Civil Code). The hotel’s saved expenditure amounts to 20% of the room price for an overnight stay with breakfast, 40% of the service price for all food and drinks ordered, and 20% of the service price for hotel package deals including entry to the park. If a minimum spend has been agreed and is not reached, the hotel shall be entitled to request up to 60% of the difference in the amounts as lost profits insofar as the customer is unable to provide evidence of the lost profits being lower than this sum or the hotel is unable to provide evidence of the lost profits being higher.
(6) Withdrawal by the hotel
(6.1) Insofar as it has been agreed that the customer is able to withdraw from the contract free-of-charge within a certain deadline, the hotel shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract within this period if it has received requests for contractually booked rooms from other customers and the customer does not waive their right of withdrawal at the hotel’s request submitted with an appropriate deadline. This applies accordingly if an option is granted, other room requests have been submitted and the customer is not willing to make a fixed booking at the hotel’s request submitted with an appropriate deadline.
(6.2) In the event of a failure to pay an advance payment or deposit agreed or requested in accordance with Item 3.3 and/or Item 3.4 even after an appropriate deadline set by the hotel has elapsed, the hotel shall also be entitled to withdraw from the contract.
(6.3) Furthermore, the hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract without notice on objectively justified grounds, in particular if
- the contract cannot be fulfilled due to an act of force majeure (fire, strike, or similar) or any other impediment to the rendering of the services either in full or in part for which the hotel is not responsible.
- The hotel reserves the right to withdraw from the contract without the customer being entitled to claim for damages.
- rooms or services are culpably booked under misleading or false information or key facts are withheld, e.g. regarding the customer or purpose; essential factors here can the identity of the customer, their ability to stay or the purpose of their stay
- the hotel has justified grounds to assume that use of the hotel services may pose a threat to the hotel’s smooth business operations, its safety and security, or its public perception. In the case of group bookings, this applies in particular to cases where only one member of the group provides grounds for such assumption.
- the purpose or reason for the stay is illegal
- there is a breach of Item 1.2 above
(6.4) A justified withdraw from the contract by the hotel does not entitle the customer to claim any damages.
(7) Provision, handover and return; rendering of services
(7.1) The hotel provides the rented rooms at the exact time agreed in the contract and/or at the time of the event. In the case of hotel rooms in particular, the customer is not entitled to a particular room being made available, merely a room in line with the category booked.
(7.2) Within the scope of the rendering of services, hotel rooms are not available until 3:30 p.m. on the day of arrival. The customer is not entitled to the room being made available earlier than this.
(7.3) On the agreed day of departure, the rooms must be cleared and made available to the hotel no later than 11:00 a.m. If the customer fails to meet their obligation to vacate the room by 11:00 a.m. on the day of departure, the hotel is entitled to request remuneration up to the full rate for the room for any use after this without any further prompting of the customer. If the hotel accrues any other damages due to the late evacuation of the room on the day of departure, the customer shall undertake to provide compensation for this amount. This does not provide the customer with grounds for contractual claims. They are free to provide evidence that the hotel is not entitled to any or the full rate of remuneration for use.
(7.4) If the customer fails to arrive by 6:00 p.m. on the day of arrival, they shall undertake to inform the hotel of their later arrival in good time; failure to do so will entitle the hotel to withdraw from the contract if it receives a request from another customer and allocate the room elsewhere without the customer being entitled to accommodation. The obligation to provide proof of notification in the event of a late arrival lies with the customer.
(7.5) For catering services (food & drinks) booked by the customer, the customer must inform the hotel of the number of participants no later than 2 working days before the date on which the services are to be rendered. If there are fewer participants than agreed, the customer must pay at least for the number of people agreed. If there are more participants than reported, the customer shall be billed for the actual number of participants.
(7.6) The customer undertakes to advise the hotel without delay – but no later than upon conclusion of the contract – and without prompting if the services and/or event are likely to attract public interest or have an adverse effect on the hotel’s concerns, be it due to the political, religious or other nature. Newspaper adverts, other advertising material and publications that contain references to the hotel and/or invitations to interviews or sales events, for example, require written approval from the hotel management.
(7.7) Dogs are not permitted in the hotel restaurants or in the Hotel Ling Bao or Hotel Charles Lindbergh. Certified support dogs for people with disabilities are welcomed at Hotel Matamba (following prior registration) and at all hotel restaurants. Please note that a copy of the support dog certificate will be needed.
Visitors to Hotel Charles Lindbergh must be aged 8 and up; visitors are only permitted to stay in the hotel if they have booked an experience package in advance. Hotel Charles Lindbergh is not suitable for wheelchair users.
(8) Liability of the hotel
(8.1) The hotel is liable for applying the due care and diligence of prudent business practice. Should any disruptions or shortcomings arise in the services rendered, the customer must issue a complaint without delay and provide the hotel with an opportunity to remedy the issue. Notwithstanding Item 6 and Sections 701 et. seqq. of the German Civil Code, the hotel shall be liable in the case of intent or gross negligence by the hotel’s legal representative or managers. The limitation period for all claims by the customer against the hotel is 6 months calculated from the end of the contract. This limitation of liability and short limitation period apply to the hotel’s benefit even if obligations are breached prior to the contract being concluded and in the case of a positive violation of contractual duty or unlawful acts.
(8.2) For items brought into the hotel, the hotel is liable to the customer in accordance with the statutory provisions. The hotel recommends using the hotel or room safe.
(8.3) Insofar as the customer is provided with a parking space in the hotel garage or car park – including for a fee – this does not constitute a contract of safe custody. The hotel is not obligated to monitor the space. In the event of the disappearance of or damage to vehicles parked or moved on hotel property and their contents, the hotel shall only be liable in accordance with the above Item 8. Sentences 1 to 3. The hotel shall only be liable for direct damage to the vehicle caused by a defect in the space that already existed when the parking space was assigned. Any damage of this type must be claimed without delay but no later than departure from the hotel property.
(8.4) The hotel attempts to perform wake-up services with the due care and diligence of prudent business practice. Any messages, letters or goods sent to the customers shall also be handled with this level of care.
(8.5) The hotel stores any items left behind by the customer for a period of 6 months. After this period, these items shall become the property of the hotel. They are returned to the customer only at their request and at their own risk and cost. Any liability of the hotel arising from Items 8.1–8.4 shall be excluded.
(9) Final provisions
(9.1) The place of performance and payment for both parties is the location of the hotel. For commercial matters, including disputes concerning bills of exchange and cheques, the place of jurisdiction is the location of the hotel.
(9.2) German law applies.
(9.3) Any agreements deviating from these terms and conditions and any ancillary agreements must be concluded in writing. Should any individual provisions in the contract – including these Terms and Conditions of Business – be or become ineffective, this shall not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions. The parties shall replace without delay the ineffective provisions with effective provisions that best reflect the purpose of the ineffective provisions.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
AS AT OCTOBER 2023
When purchasing park tickets, merchandise or gift vouchers, the Customer accepts the following General Terms and Conditions of PHANTASIALAND Schmidt-Löffelhardt GmbH & Co. KG (hereinafter “Provider”). The General Terms and Conditions apply regardless of whether you are a consumer, entrepreneur or merchant.
1. Offers made on the website or telephone are non-binding. When an order is placed online over the Provider’s website or over the phone using the Provider’s telephone hotline, the contract shall become binding, including the Customer’s payment obligation. The contract is deemed to be concluded as soon as the order button is pressed or when the phone operator informs the Customer that a binding order has been placed. A subsequent order confirmation serves only to document that the contract has been concluded.
2. The Provider is entitled to withdraw from the contract if the quantity of entry tickets or gift vouchers available has expired. It undertakes to inform the Customer of this within 5 days. If the Customer has completed their payment within this period, the Provider undertakes to reimburse this amount without delay.
3. If the Provider’s supplier fails to deliver the ordered products to the Provider despite its contractual obligations, the Provider is likewise entitled to withdraw from the contract. In this case, the Provider shall inform the Customer without delay that the ordered products are not available. The purchase price already paid shall be reimbursed without delay.
4. The Customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract in written form or by sending back the products within two weeks. If the Customer has decided to withdraw from the contract, they shall be liable for the costs for returning the products. If you cancel this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees for this repayment. If you have requested that the service should commence during the cancellation period, you must pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided by the time you inform us of the exercise of the right of cancellation with regard to this contract compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.
5. The Provider is not obliged to accept returned entry tickets or gift vouchers. For services in the field of leisure activities with a specific date or period of performance – particularly for the sale of tickets to theme parks and events – the right of return or withdrawal does not exist in the case of distance contracts in accordance with Article 312g II sentence 1 no. 9 of the German Civil Code (BGB – Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). Every order becomes binding when the relevant contract comes into effect and requires the Customer to complete the payment.
6. However, the Provider will accept returned entry tickets and reimburse purchase prices if the event has been cancelled by the Provider. The purchase price will normally be returned and reimbursed no more than two weeks after the date of the event. When entry tickets are purchased over the website or the Provider’s telephone hotline, the purchased tickets must be returned by post to the following address if the Provider has agreed to accept them: PHANTASIALAND Schmidt-Löffelhardt GmbH & Co. KG, Ticketing, Berggeiststrasse 31-41, 50321 Brühl.
7. Products can only be returned if they have not been used. The Provider is able to withhold any reductions in value caused by the use of any products ordered.
8. Unless agreed otherwise, products are delivered from the warehouse to the delivery address specified by the Customer. Upon handover of the products to the transport company commissioned by the Provider, the risk is transferred to the Customer. Any information regarding delivery deadlines is non-binding unless a binding delivery date is specified in exceptional circumstances.
9. The purchase price is due as soon as the order is place. Delivery will not take place until the payment amount has been credited to the Provider’s account. Tickets that are issued electronically and printed by the Customer shall not be valid until full payment has been received.
10. The Provider is not obliged to replace any entry tickets or gift vouchers that are lost by the holder or that otherwise go missing while the holder is responsible for them.
11. Any delivered entry tickets, products or gift vouchers shall remain the Provider’s property until all outstanding claims against the Customer have been settled. If the Customer fails to pay, the Provider may demand that entry tickets, products or gift vouchers are returned or may block the use of entry tickets or gift vouchers. If entry tickets or gift vouchers that have not been paid for are blocked, reimbursement shall be excluded for expenses incurred by the ticket or voucher holder for ignoring the payment reminder.
12. Multiple print-outs of an entry ticket or gift voucher or any other duplicates created for the purpose of misuse are prohibited. The specific barcode / QR-Code on the entry ticket or gift voucher is validated the first time it is scanned when visiting the event.
13. The Customer must check any entry tickets or gift vouchers immediately upon delivery to make sure they are correct and match the order (particularly the quantity, event name, date or period of validity, category, ticket price or voucher value). These and other obvious deviations or defects must be reported to the Provider in writing without delay but no later than 10 days after receipt of the tickets or vouchers in order to give the Provider the chance to correct the problem. For short-notice orders completed less than ten days before the event or validity period in question, the written complaint must be submitted without delay, but no later than two days following receipt of the entry tickets and must have been received by the Supplier by 12 p.m. on the last day before the event or start or the validity period at the latest to give the Provider the chance to correct the problem.
14. When purchasing products, the Customer must report obvious defects to the Provider in writing within 4 weeks of receiving the products; failure to adhere to this deadline will exclude any warranty rights. The receipt of the complaint by the Provider is decisive when checking compliance with the deadline.
15. The Provider is entitled to reject any complaints received after this deadline.
16. If the purchased product contains any defects, the Customer can decide whether to have the defect rectified or replaced by a fault-free product.
17. The Provider must be given a suitable deadline to rectify the defect/replace the product. The Provider is entitled to reject the option selected by the Customer if it will incur disproportionate costs and the Customer deems the other option to be reasonable.
18. If the Provider is unwilling or unable to rectify or replace the product due to the disproportionate scale of work required, if the Provider delays this process beyond a suitable deadline for reasons for which the Provider is responsible, or if the rectification/replacement process fails for any other reason, the Customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract, request a reduction in the purchase price or claim damages.
19. The Customer is not entitled to withdraw from the contract in the case of minor defects.
20. In the event of defects caused during the transportation of entry tickets, products or gift vouchers, the Customer must return the product in its original packaging to the Provider with as accurate a description of the problem as possible and a copy of their invoice. The original packaging may not be used to return the product.
21. The warranty period for products is two years following delivery of the product. This does not apply if the Customer has failed to report obvious defects to the Provider in good time.
22. The Provider is entitled to process all data related to the business relationship with the Customer in accordance with the German Data Protection Act.
By purchasing a ticket or booking a Phantasialand service such as hotel accommodation, organising an event, visiting a restaurant, etc., the customer consents to receiving information about Phantasialand products.
If this is not desired, a simple message to info@phantasialand.de is sufficient to delete this entry.
Personal data belonging to the Customer, the holder of the entry ticket, or the gift voucher holder will be collected, processed and used in an automatic process to the extent required to execute the contract and business relationship and in accordance with data protection law. If payment methods are applied, the Provider is entitled to disclose the payment data to third parties in order to complete the payment process. Any other data collected will be used exclusively for internal statistical purposes. Analyses are performed only using data that has been rendered anonymous.
The Customer instructs their bank (named by specifying the bank's sort code), credit card company or payment provider to notify the Provider or a third party commissioned by the Provider of the Customer’s name and address upon request in the event of a failed or rejected direct debit so that the Provider is able to assert its claim against the Customer.
23. The Customer is not permitted to resell any entry tickets or gift vouchers (original tickets or entry tickets or gift vouchers printed by the Customer) for a price that exceeds the price indicated on the product. Commercial resale activities are prohibited. Violation of these conditions shall lead to the loss of access to the park as acquired through the entry ticket or gift voucher without compensation. Entry tickets and gift vouchers shall be rendered void.
24. Upon placing an order, the Customer accepts Phantasialand’s Terms and Conditions of Entry and Use.
25. Upon procuring an entry ticket, the Customer acquires the right to access Phantasialand or the specific event once on each day in accordance with the entry day or validity period printed on the ticket.
The Customer is therefore entitled to use all services offered to all visitors to Phantasialand or the specific event on the day in question.
26. If the Customer fails to use the service during the validity period of the entry ticket or gift voucher, they shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of the purchase price or access to the park/event on another day.
27. Upon entering the park, the Customer shall not be entitled to the full, uninterrupted operation of all park attractions. Disruptions to operations, maintenance work or the closure of individual attractions for an entire day are not deemed to be deficits.
The Customer is not entitled to damages in any of these cases. This does not apply to claims to damages resulting from the contractual use of attractions by park visitors.
28. In the case of events and performances, the Provider reserves the right to change the programme and cast in a way that is reasonable to the Customer, under consideration of the Provider’s interests. For instance, changes caused by illnesses or absences in artistic performances, in particular, cannot always be avoided. They must be accepted if the general nature and scope of the announced event remains in tact overall.
Unless specified otherwise below, all other claims by the Customers are excluded regardless of their legal grounds.
29. The Provider is not liable for damages that do not affect the delivery product itself; in particular, the Provider is not liable for any loss of profits or other financial losses incurred by the Customer.
30. Insofar as the Provider has only committed a minor infringement of its contractual duties, liability in the case of gross negligence and the violation of material contractual duties caused by ordinary negligence shall be limited to direct average damages typical for the contract. In the event of a slightly negligent breach of immaterial contractual duties, the liability of the Provider shall be excluded.
Insofar as liability on the part of the Provider is excluded or limited, this shall also apply for the personal liability of staff, representatives and vicarious agents.
The Provider is not liable for disruptions caused by circumstances beyond its control. In particular, the Provider is not liable for any disruptions caused by the failure or interruption of the telecommunications network or power supply. The Provider is not liable for the correctness of any data provided online nor is it liable for the fault-free operation of its online presence.
The aforementioned limitation of liability does not apply in cases of statutory liability, e.g. in accordance with product liability law, in cases of intention, gross negligence and infringement of material contractual duties.
31. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you have placed the order as a consumer and have your habitual residence in another country at the time of your order, the application of mandatory legal provisions of this country shall remain unaffected by the choice of law made in sentence 1.
32. For contracts with commercial entities, Brühl is defined as the place of performance and jurisdiction; in all other cases, the provisions of the German Civil Code apply. German law applies in all cases. The place of performance is Brühl.
In all other respects, the applicable statutory provisions shall apply to local and international jurisdiction.
33. The EU Commission has created an internet platform for the online settlement of disputes. The platform serves as a contact point for the out-of-court settlement of disputes concerning contractual obligations arising from online sales contracts. Further information is available at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/. We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
34. Should one of the provisions in these Terms and Conditions or any other agreements be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
