("4U Hospitality")
4U Hospitality provides all services to consumers exclusively based on these General Terms and Conditions (the "GTC") in the version valid at the time of the contract conclusion. The GTC can be accessed at any time in their current version under /en/terms-and-conditions.
All contracts concluded by 4U Hospitality are conducted in German.
The subject of these GTC are the legal, organizational, commercial, and technical conditions for the provision, operation, and use of the Platform, the registration as a member on the Platform (the "Member" or the "Members"), the mutual rights and obligations between 4U Hospitality and the members, as well as the framework for reserving or redeeming offers provided by the Hosts on the Platform by the Members.
4U Hospitality solely provides the technical and organizational framework for the provision of offers by the Hosts and the reserving or redeeming of the offers by the Members. Contracts for the offers provided by the Hosts on the Platform are formed directly and exclusively between the Members and the Hosts; 4U Hospitality is not a contracting party.
Within the agreed framework, 4U Hospitality has the freedom to determine the form of contract services unless otherwise agreed in writing. Additionally, 4U Hospitality is entitled to modify agreed contractual services to a reasonable extent for the members, particularly in the context of updates.
Currently, the Platform is offered as a web application.
The offers provided by the Hosts on the Platform can only be reserved or redeemed by individuals who have previously registered as Members on the Platform (the "Registration"). Upon registration, a membership agreement with 4U Hospitality is established (the "Membership Agreement" or the "Membership").
Membership is only available to individuals who can prove that they are employed in the gastronomy and/or hospitality industry (the " Industry Affiliation "). Industry Affiliation is determined by whether there is an active employment relationship with a gastronomy and/or hospitality business (the " Hospitality Employees "). Gastronomy and/or hospitality businesses, as defined in these GTC, are businesses that provide gastronomy and/or hospitality services. The assessment of whether a business qualifies as a gastronomy and/or hospitality business within the meaning of these GTC is at the sole discretion of 4U Hospitality. Part-time work, maternity leave, parental leave, educational leave, and military service are also considered active employment relationships within the meaning of these GTC.
The use of the Platform is subject to a fee. Therefore, membership is only possible upon payment of a membership fee (the "Membership Fee"). During registration, two different membership plans can be selected (the "Membership Plans"): a monthly membership (the "Monthly 4U Membership") and an annual membership (the "Annual 4U Membership") (the "Registration without Access Code," see Point 4). For hospitality employees who have received an access code for registration on the Platform (an "Access Code"), the obligation to pay a membership fee is waived (the "Registration with Access Code," see Point 5).
4U Hospitality provides the Platform with an availability of 97% on a monthly average. Excluded from this are times used for the maintenance of the Platform's servers and any downtime that 4U Hospitality is not responsible for.
Necessary hardware and corresponding operating systems for using the Platform are not provided by 4U Hospitality. Internet access is mandatory for using the Platform. Furthermore, use requires registration in accordance with Point 4 or 5.
During registration without an access code, hospitality employees first provide a valid email address and set a personal password.
In the next step, the personal details of the hospitality employees are requested (first and last name, date of birth, employer, industry affiliation).
Afterward, hospitality employees must prove their industry affiliation (see Point 3.3). The proof of industry affiliation is provided by uploading the fully completed form, signed by their employer, which is made available on the platform (the "Industry Proof"). The Industry Proof can be signed by any supervisor of the hospitality employees (e.g., Head of Department, HR manager, etc.).
Once the provided email address is confirmed via the verification link sent by email, hospitality employees can choose between the monthly 4U Membership and the annual 4U Membership, with the respective membership fees displayed on the platform (see Point 10).
Afterward, hospitality employees are prompted to select the payment method and enter their payment details. By ticking the checkbox, the hospitality employees accept the GTC of 4U Hospitality and make a binding offer to conclude the membership contract by clicking the "Subscribe with Payment Obligation" button (the "Contract Offer").
The membership contract is concluded when 4U Hospitality verifies the registration within 24 hours (the "Verification Period") and thus accepts the Contract Offer (the "Verification"). During the verification, it is particularly checked whether the conditions according to Point 3.3 in conjunction with Point 4.3 are met. 4U Hospitality reserves the right to reject registrations without providing reasons and to deny verification. In this case, no membership contract is formed.
Hospitality employees have access to their personal member account on the platform (the "Member Account") during the verification period. During this time, they can already reserve timeslot offers on the platform (see Point 11.6); however, they cannot yet redeem Walk-In offers (see Point 11.7). If the registration is rejected by 4U Hospitality and verification is denied, any reserved timeslot offers expire without replacement.
Before submitting their contractual declarations, members have the opportunity to review and correct any errors.
4U Hospitality is not obligated to store or make the members' contractual declarations accessible. Therefore, members are encouraged to save and/or print out all contractual declarations themselves.
During registration with an access code, hospitality employees first provide a valid email address and confirm by ticking a checkbox that they have received an access code. They then enter the access code in the designated field and set a personal password.
In the next step, the personal details of the hospitality employees are requested (first and last name, date of birth, employer, industry affiliation).
The membership contract with 4U Hospitality is concluded when the hospitality employees accept the GTC of 4U Hospitality by ticking the checkbox and clicking the "Register Now" button. The registration is then successfully completed.
Members receive access to their member account via a confirmation link sent by email after successful registration.
Before submitting their contractual declarations, members have the opportunity to review and correct any errors.
4U Hospitality is not obligated to store or make the members' contractual declarations accessible. Therefore, members are encouraged to save and/or print out all contractual declarations themselves.
Each member has the right to withdraw from the membership contract within 14 days without providing any reason.
The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day the contract is concluded (see Points 4.6 and 5.3).
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the member must inform 4U Hospitality by means of a clear statement (e.g., via email to info@4u-hospitality.com or by post) of their decision to withdraw from the contract. The member may use the withdrawal form template provided below (see Point 7), though this is not mandatory.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for the member to send the notification of exercising the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period expires.
If the member withdraws from the contract, 4U Hospitality will refund all payments received from the member without delay and no later than 14 days from the day the notification of contract withdrawal was received by 4U Hospitality. For this refund, 4U Hospitality will use the same payment method that the member used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with the member; in no case will the member be charged fees for this refund.
With the withdrawal of the contract, the member's right to use the platform also expires, and the member account will be deleted by 4U Hospitality. After withdrawal, the member is free to re-register and conclude a new contract.
4U Hospitality aims to contribute to the strengthening of the entire gastronomy and hospitality industry through the digital 4U Hospitality Platform (www.4u-hospitality.com) and to offer a unique, exclusive benefits program for the industry by the industry. Employees of the gastronomy and hospitality sector can register as members on the 4U Hospitality Platform and enjoy benefits exclusively offered by the 4U Hospitality partner establishments, known as hosts. 4U Hospitality promises inspiration, education, networking, and the most exclusive benefits in gastronomy and hospitality for its members. At the same time, the 4U Hospitality Platform is a pioneering marketing and communication tool that helps enhance the image of the industry for a more successful future for all involved. The concept of 4U Hospitality is based on mutual trust and respect within the gastronomy and hospitality industry. Hosts offer unique, exclusive benefits on the 4U Hospitality Platform because they know and rely on the fact that industry employees appreciate hospitality and top-quality gastronomic experiences like no one else. Without this appreciation and a high level of responsibility from the members, 4U Hospitality would not be conceivable. Therefore, members of the 4U Hospitality Platform are committed to adhering to a strict Code of Conduct in their dealings with hosts:
Membership at 4U Hospitality is exclusively available to employees of the gastronomy and hospitality industry. Other individuals cannot use the 4U Hospitality Platform.
Inform the hosts at the earliest opportunity that you are there to redeem an offer provided through the 4U Hospitality Platform. Only then will you be able to enjoy the exclusive, unique benefits.
4U Hospitality is committed to enforcing this Code of Conduct strictly with its members. Violations of the Code of Conduct cannot be tolerated and may result in temporary restrictions or suspension and even premature termination of the membership by 4U Hospitality.
