Objectively justified reasons are for example:
- An agreed advance payment or security deposit is not made during the period set by GB Mountains.

- Rooms or rooms booked or used under misleading or false information, e.g. in the person of the guest or the purpose of use or stay.
- The GB Mountains has reasonable grounds to believe that the use of the agreed services may affect the smooth operation of the business, the safety of other guests or the reputation of the GB Mountains.

In case of withdrawal of GB Mountains due to the aforementioned reasons, the Guest is not entitled to any compensation. Moreover, the compensation for the booked services remains owed in principle.
