- up to 1 week before arrival, 80% of the contract value will be charged,
- less than 7 days before arrival, 90% of the contract value will be charged.
Cancellation of the contract concluded with the HENRI Hotel by the Organiser free of charge requires the written consent of the HENRI Hotel. If this is not given, the agreed rent/logis for event rooms and booked rooms from the contract as well as services arranged with third parties must be paid in any case, even if the organiser does not make use of contractual services and re-letting is no longer possible. This shall not apply in the event of a breach of the HENRI Hotel's obligation to take into account the rights, legal interests and interests of the Organiser if the Organiser can no longer reasonably be expected to adhere to the contract as a result or is entitled to any other statutory or contractual right of withdrawal.
5.2. If a date for withdrawal from the contract free of charge has been agreed in writing between the HENRI Hotel and the Organiser, the Organiser may withdraw from the contract up to that date without triggering payment or compensation claims by the HENRI Hotel. The Organiser's right of withdrawal shall expire if he does not exercise his right of withdrawal in writing vis-à-vis the HENRI Hotel by the agreed date, unless a case pursuant to number 1 sentence 3 exists.

- up to 2 weeks before arrival: 10 % of the contractually agreed number of rooms
- less than 2 weeks and up to 7 days before arrival: 5 % of the contractually agreed number of rooms (minimum 1 room)
The basis for the aforementioned percentage reductions is always the first signed contract. If the organiser returns a higher contingent than that stated at the time in question, the HENRI Hotel shall be entitled to invoice the cancelled rooms in excess of the percentage stated. In the case of call-off contingents with an agreed return date (cut-off date), the above-mentioned return deadlines for the contingent shall not apply.

From 7 working days before the start of the event, a reduction free of charge is no longer possible; the agreed services will be charged at 100%. The calculation of lost food and beverage sales is based on the formula Menu price plus drinks × number of participants.

7.2. In the event of an upward deviation, the actual number of participants shall be charged. An increase in the number of participants by more than 5% must be notified to the HENRI Hotel in writing 7 working days before the start of the event.
