These GBT are basis to all contractual agreements between INNTOUR (contractor) and its customers (Clients / may be individuals, a group of persons or a company).

The client then has to bring in his own GBT in written form which INNTOUR may refuse to accept.

All contracts underlie Austrian Rights. For all conflicts that may occur out of business connection with INNTOUR, the location of the agency (6020 Innsbruck/Austria) is the declared court of jurisdiction.
If parts of these GBT are invalid or become invalid at a future point the rest of this declaration stays valid. Instead of invalid regulations of this agreement, a regulation takes place that comes nearest to what both parties would have wanted, provided that both parties had thought about that point of the agreement. The same applies for possible gaps of the contract.
8. Additional Agreements / Written Form
a) Contract parties agree upon strict confidentiality on all insight that occurs through written correspondence even after ending of contractual relationships.
b) If one or more agreements of this regulation are invalid all other regulations remain valid.
c) Hereby the client is informed that due to the implementation of the contract information data and his name will be recorded and used as reference. Nevertheless there will be no compensation by the agency.
