I. General

§ 1 dreimalfrauen Services

1. dreimalfrauen offers the service of a platform on which suppliers (hereinafter "Lessor") and clients (hereinafter "Tenant") of furnished apartments are brought together over the Internet. To this end, the Lessor is given the option of publishing their own content on the platform in line with Clause 4.

2. As part of its service, dreimalfrauen provides model contracts for temporary renting. In accordance with § 549 II no.1 of the German Civil Code (BGB), temporary use underpins the temporary rental agreements. This requires a special condition, as well as work obligations, justifying the temporary renting of an apartment. In this case, the Tenant is not looking to shift the centre of their lives to the rental apartment for a longer period, thus initiating a temporary rental agreement by their own accord.

3. This service is free of charge for the Lessor, unless agreed otherwise.

 

§ 2 dreimalfrauen Service Flat-rate

1. As soon as the Tenant and Lessor successfully conclude a contract, the dreimalfrauen service flat-rate becomes due.

2. The service flat-rate is presented to the Lessor when publishing their listing and amounts to – unless otherwise agreed – 10% excl. VAT of the monthly overall rent specified by the Lessor, in accordance with § 7 para. 9.

 

1. The amount to be paid to dreimalfrauen is calculated by multiplying the service flat-rate based on the overall monthly rent with the number of rented months. The fee becomes due 14 days after the Tenant moves in. In the event of partial months of rental, the rent and therewith service flat-rate is based on the exact number of days.

2. If the Tenant extends their rental period, this results in a new contract and the dreimalfrauen service flat-rate will become due for the newly specified period.
