1. Insofar as it was agreed in written form that the customer may withdraw from the contract within a certain period of time free of charge, the hotel is entitled for its part to cancel the contract during this period if inquiries of other customers regarding the contractually reserved rooms exist and the customer, upon further inquiry thereof by the hotel, does not waive his right of rescission.

force majeure or other circumstances for which the hotel is not responsible make it impossible to fulfil the contract; rooms are booked with culpably misleading or false information regarding factual contractual facts, such as the identity of the customer or the purpose; the hotel has justified cause to believe that use of the hotel's services might jeopardise the smooth operation of the hotel, its security or public reputation, without being attributable to the hotel's sphere of control or organisation;

there is a breach of the above-mentioned term I No. 2.
