The following terms and conditions apply exclusively to all contracts regarding the rental of event space and events between Rüti Hütte and the respective customer (hereinafter referred to as "Customer, Tenant, User, Guest, Visitor"), jointly referred to as "Parties", as well as to all related services and deliveries by Rüti Hütte, its partners, and suppliers. The customer's general terms and conditions are not part of the contract unless Rüti Hütte explicitly agrees to them in writing.
Rüti Hütte Andermatt grants the customer the opportunity to use the event space and its furnishings within the contractually agreed scope, particularly for meetings, workshops, conferences, trainings, and events (hereinafter collectively referred to as "events"). Rüti Hütte Andermatt also offers the customer additional services (e.g., catering services, food) for a fee. In return, the customer agrees to pay the agreed fee under the agreed payment terms.
If the customer requires additional materials, catering, beverage deliveries, or other food for the event, the customer must inform Rüti Hütte Andermatt, and such services may not be provided by third parties or by the customer without approval from Rüti Hütte Andermatt.
If there are more than six months between the contract conclusion and the agreed event date, Rüti Hütte Andermatt may make reasonable price adjustments for valid reasons. A valid reason exists, particularly when general costs (electricity, heating, water, etc.) change after the contract has been concluded between Rüti Hütte Andermatt and the customer. In such a case, Rüti Hütte Andermatt is entitled to adjust the fee proportionally, i.e., by the extent of the increased costs incurred by Rüti Hütte Andermatt. Likewise, Rüti Hütte Andermatt is obliged to pass on cost reductions to the customer in the same proportion.
No competition protection is granted.

Changes to confirmations must always be made in writing on both sides. Cancellations and/or changes must be communicated to Rüti Hütte as early as possible in writing.
Afterward, the general cancellation conditions of Rüti Hütte apply. Additional services such as beverages or food will be invoiced by email after the event and are due within ten (10) days without deduction upon receipt. These can be paid via invoice or on-site.
Change requests and complaints from customers about invoices or other documents (such as credit notes), which are due to an error or oversight by Rüti Hütte, are always free of charge.
