Such price changes (which will not be limited to the above) will take effect upon written notification to the Customer.

In cases where adjustments need to be made to the product or service to meet the Customer's specific needs with regard to allergies or allergens, Different Hotels NV reserves the right to charge any supplements for these adjustments. These supplements will be communicated to the Customer in writing prior to delivery.

Liability
The hotel is not liable for damage to cars and theft of items left in the car, loss or disappearance of valuables not stored in the safe in the room or at the reception, or for goods left unattended in public areas, corridors or meeting rooms.

In case of force majeure, the hotel is not liable for any partial or total non-performance of the contract due to any unforeseen event caused by third parties, governmental measures or force majeure, including but not limited to strikes, lock downs, floods, fire or terrorist attacks.

Posters

It is not allowed to fix posters on walls, floors or ceilings, with staples or otherwise. The customer is responsible for repairing any damage resulting from non-compliance with these rules.

Bringing (domestic) animals to the hotel
To maintain cleanliness and hygiene in our accommodation, we would like to emphasise that (domestic) animals/dogs are never allowed on or in the bed (not even in a basket).

In addition, washing or cleaning pets in the shower, bathtub, sink or other such places in the room/hotel is not allowed.

If this rule is violated, a fine of 150 euros will be charged first, as we will have to clean the room carefully afterwards to make it completely allergy-free. Additionally, any repair costs to fix the damage done will also be charged.

Separate charges will be made for any damage such as scratching or biting on, for example, furniture, accessories, doors. We ask all bookers who bring their pets (with emphasis on dogs) to Different Hotel to provide a deposit of 250 euros or a credit card guarantee. This deposit will be fully refunded after your stay, provided no 1 of the above is found in the accommodation.
