(2) A rescission by the client of the contract entered into with Ooostel2.be must be made in writing and requires written consent
from Ooostel2.be. Failure to obtain the written consent from the accommodation will result in the client being obliged to pay the
contractually agreed price, even if he does not make use of the contractual services. This provision shall not apply, if it causes a
breach of duty by Ooostel2.be to make allowance for the rights, legal interests and other interests of the client, in the event that
such rights and interests should make it unreasonable to expect the client to stick to the contract or should entitle the client to
any other statutory or contractual right of rescission.

room, should it manage to do so, the costs are saved through the client’s non-appearance.

this case, the client shall be obliged to pay 100% of the contractually agreed price. The client shall be free to prove that the
aforementioned claim does not exist or is lower than provided here.

may, at its discretion, demand payment of a cancellation charge in accordance with § 4, section 1. Similarly, the Ooostel2.be is
entitled to cancellation if claims from the previous booking were not paid after a reminder. This applies also to outstanding bills
at other above mentioned Ooostel2.be companies.

force majeure or other circumstances beyond the control of Ooostel2.be it becomes impossible to fulfill the contract; – rooms are
reserved on the basis of misleading or false information with regard to material facts such as the client’s identity or the purpose
of the room reservation; – Ooostel2.be has justified reason to believe that the client’s use of accommodation services may
jeopardize the smooth running of business, security or public reputation of Ooostel2.be without this being attributable to
shortcomings in the organization of Ooostel2.be or other areas within its control. – The provisions laid down in Article 1, paragraph

for reasons of non-contractual occupation, and if the client vacates the room after 6 p.m. 100% of the full room rate will be
