If a flat-rate conference fee per participant has been agreed, the hotel shall be entitled to charge 60% of the flat-rate conference fee x agreed number of participants as compensation in the event of cancellation between the 8th and the week before the date of the event, and 80% in the event of cancellation at a later date.

  3. In case of an upward deviation, the actual number of participants will be calculated.
