3. The Hotel shall not be liable for any other damage caused by slight negligence unless such damage is based on the violation of a material contractual obligation.

To the extent the Hotel did not act with gross negligence or willful intent, the Hotel shall only be liable for the typical and foreseeable damage.

 

4. In the case of other damage, the liability of the Hotel is furthermore limited to a maximum sum of Euro 125,000.00 for personal damages and a maximum of Euro 5,000.00 for damage to property and assets in each individual claim and any claim under and in association with the contractual services. The liability limit and exclusions shall not apply if the other damages are based on intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty by the hotel, its legal representatives or managerial employees.

The above liability limitations shall also apply in cases of any claims for compensation by a Guest against employees or vicarious agents of the Hotel.

In the case of lass or damage to vehicles or their contents parked or maneuvered on the Hotel site, the Hotel shall not be liable if the Hotel, its legal representatives or its vicarious agents are not accountable through intent or gross negligence. In this case, the damage must be asserted to the Hotel at the latest before leaving the Hotel site.

The Hotel accepts no liability for the use of, and possible damages resulting from them, of networks present in the Hotel (such as WiFi) by means of a terminal device of the Guest, even against payment. Data transmission between the networks and the terminal device of the Guest is not encoded. Third parties may therefore be able to view the data.

The content shall not be subject to any checks by the Hotel.

The statutory exclusions from such limitation contained in section 702, para. 2 of the German Civil Codeshall remain unaffected. lf the Guest wishes to bring along money, securities and valuables with a value exceeding EUR 800 or other items with a value exceeding EUR 3,500, he/she shall expressly inform the Hotel thereof. The Hotelshall not be obliged to deposit any valuables exceeding the above-stipulated values for the Guest (section 702, para. 3 of the German Civil Code) unless a separate written deposit agreement is concluded. We generally recommend depositing anything of value in the hotel safe or room safe. Any further liability of the Hotel shall be subject to the provisions contained in VII. 1 to 5 above.

 

13. Claims for compensation by the Guest shall be subject to the statute of limitations no later than 2 years from the time at which the Guest becomes aware of the damage or regardless of this awareness no later than 3 years from the time of the event causing the damage.

5. The above liability limitations shall apply to all claims for compensation, irrespective of their legal basis, including claims resulting from unauthorized acts. The above liability limitations shall also apply in cases of any claims for compensation by a Guest against employees or vicarious agents of the Hotel. They shall not apply in cases of liability for faults after the take-over of a guarantee of the qualities of a physical object or a work, in case of malicious silence regarding faults or in the case of personal injury.

 

6. lf a parking space is made available to the Guest in the Hotel garage or in a hotel car park, even against payment, this does not conclude a safe-keeping contract. The Hotel has no duty of supervision. In the case of lass or damage to vehicles or their contents parked or maneuvered on the Hotel site, the Hotel shall not be liable if the Hotel, its legal representatives or its vicarious agents are not accountable through intent or gross negligence. In this case, the damage must be asserted to the Hotel at the latest before leaving the Hotel site.

The Hotel should carry out the delivery, storage and, on request, the sending on of the same for payment, as weil as the sending on of lost terms on request. Claims for compensation, unless due to gross negligence or intent, are excluded. The Hotel is obliged to hold these items for 6 months. Thereafter, the objects shall be passed to the local lostproperty office if they are of apparent value.

 

9. The Hotel accepts no liability for the use of, and possible damages resulting from them, of networks present in the Hotel (such as WiFi) by means of a terminal device of the Guest, even against payment. Data transmission between the networks and the terminal device of the Guest is not encoded. Third parties may therefore be able to view the data. The Guest him/herself shall be responsible for all the content that he/she accesses, sets up or in any way disseminates through the network, and not the Hotel or any third parties. The content shall not be subject to any checks by the Hotel.

 

10. Within the scope of its services, the Hotel shall, in special cases, take on the free transportation of persons and luggage. However, the Hotel shall not be liable for any lasses, delays or damage.

 

11. The Hotel reserves the right to charge a corresponding, suitable supplement for external services where the Hotel acts as an agent. External services are thus provided for payment. However, the Hotel shall not be liable for any kind of services provided by third parties.

The maximum liability for money, securities and valuables shall be EUR 800. The statutory exclusions from such limitation contained in section 702, para. 2 of the German Civil Codeshall remain unaffected. lf the Guest wishes to bring along money, securities and valuables with a value exceeding EUR 800 or other items with a value exceeding EUR 3,500, he/she shall expressly inform the Hotel thereof. The Hotelshall not be obliged to deposit any valuables exceeding the above-stipulated values for the Guest (section 702, para. 3 of the German Civil Code) unless a separate written deposit agreement is concluded. We generally recommend depositing anything of value in the hotel safe or room safe. Any further liability of the Hotel shall be subject to the provisions contained in VII. 1 to 5 above.

 

13. Claims for compensation by the Guest shall be subject to the statute of limitations no later than 2 years from the time at which the Guest becomes aware of the damage or regardless of this awareness no later than 3 years from the time of the event causing the damage. This shall not apply to the liability for damage from injury to life, physical injury or injury to health, or for other damage based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Hotel, its legal representative or a vicarious agent of the Hotel.

 

 

VIII. The Guest’s Liability

 

1. The Guest shall be liable for any lass or damage incurring in the Guest’s hotel room during the Guest’s stay in our hotel unless such damage is demonstrably in the Hotel’s sphere of responsibility or was demonstrably caused by a third party.

2. To the extent the Hotel procures technical or other equipment from third parties upon the Guest’s instruction, the Hotel shall act as the Guest’s agent and for the Guest’s account.

4. The Guest shall be liable for repair and cleaning costs to the extent such costs exceed the general lump sum if the dog damages any hotel equipment.

 

5. In case of any unpermitted dogs in the hotel room, in the spa area and in the breakfast room, the Hotel reserves the right to check out the Guest immediately and charge the Guest accordingly. In such case, 90% of the agreed rate shall be invoiced. The Guest shall be entitled to prove that the above costs did not incur or did not incur in the amount claimed.

 

6. Dogs and other pets shall be allowed in the lobby as long as they are on a leash and behave weil. In the lobby, pets are strictly prohibited from jumping on the upholstered furniture. The Hotel reserves the right to invoice the Guest with

7. Pets are not allowed in the breakfast room, the spa area and in the gym.

 

8. The Guest shall bear the burden of proof establishing that any damage was not caused by his/her dog.
