§ 11 Liability of the Lodging Provider for Damages to Guest Property

11.1 The Lodging Provider is liable consistent with §§ 970 ff ABGB for the property which the Contractual Partner has brought with him/her. Liability on the part of the Lodging Provider only exists if the property was given into the safekeeping of the Lodging Provider or one of the Lodging Provider’s authorized persons , or if it had been brought to a location which the Lodging Provider had directed or to a location designated for such a purpose. Insofar as the Lodging Provider is unable to prove otherwise, the Lodging Provider is liable for his own fault or the fault of his people as well as persons who may have exited or exited his establishment. Consistent with § 970 par. 1 ABGB, the Lodging Provider is liable up to the maximum amount stipulated in the federal law dated 16 November 1921 in its most current form pertaining to liability of hosts and other businesses. If the Contractual Partner or Guest fails to accede immediately to the Lodging Providers request to leave his property in a designated storage location, the Lodging Provider is released from all liability. The amount of potential liability on the part of the Lodging Provider is capped by the amount of liability insurance held by the Lodging Provider. Any joint responsibility on the part of the Contractual Partner or Guest shall be taken into account.

11.2 Liability on the part of the Lodging Provider for slight negligence is excluded. If the Contractual Partner is a business, liability for gross negligence is also excluded. In this case, the Contractual Partner bears the burden of proof for consequential damages. Indirect damages as well as lost earnings shall not be compensated.

11.3 The Lodging Provider’s liability for valuables, money and securities is currently limited to an amount of €550. The Lodging Provider is only liable for higher damages if s/he accepted these items fully aware of the nature thereof, or in the instance that the damage was the result of his/her own or his/her own people’s culpability. Liability restrictions within the parameters of 12.1 and 12.2 shall apply correspondingly.

11.4 The Lodging Provider may refuse to safekeep valuables, money and securities if this involves items that are significantly more valuable than what guests of the accommodation establishment in question would usually hand over for safekeeping.

11.5 Whatever the circumstances of safekeeping, liability is excluded if the Contractual Partner and/or Guest fails to notify the Lodging Provider immediately upon becoming aware of the damage which has occurred. Furthermore, such legal claims must be made within 3 years of the Contractual Partner or Guest having become aware or potentially becoming aware of said damage; otherwise the aforementioned rights shall lapse.

§ 12 Liability Limitations

12.1 If the Contractual Partner is a consumer, liability on the part of the Lodging Provider is excluded for slight negligence with the exception of personal injury.

12.2 If the Contractual Partner is a business, liability on the part of the Lodging Provider for slight as well as gross negligence is excluded. In this case, the Contractual Partner bears the burden of proof. Consequential damages, intangible damages or indirect damages are not compensated. Any compensation will be limited by the extent of interest the injured party had in the existence of the contract.

§ 13 Pets

13.1 Pets may only be introduced into the lodging establishment with the expressed prior consent of the Lodging Provider and subject to special compensation.

13.2 The Contractual Partner/Guest who brings a pet with him/her is required to safekeep and/or oversee the animal, or to assure its safekeeping and/or oversight by a third-party, to a customary extent and at his/her own expense.

13.3 The Contractual Partner/Guest who brings a pet with him/her is required to hold appropriate animal liability insurance or private liability insurance that covers any potential damages caused by animals. Proof of such insurance must be provided at the request of the Lodging Provider.

13.5 Animals are not permitted in the salons, guest lounges, restaurants or wellness areas.

§ 14 Extension of the Accommodation Period

14.1 The Contractual Partner has no right to extend his stay. If the Contractual Partner announces his desire to extend his stay, the Lodging Provider may agree to extend the Lodging Contract. Though the Lodging Provider is under no obligation to do so.

14.2 If the Contractual Partner is not able to leave the lodging establishment on the scheduled departure day due to unforeseeable extraordinary circumstances (e.g. extreme snowfall, flooding etc.) which impair all forms of departure or make them unusable, the lodging contract will automatically be extended for as long as the impossibility continues. Any reduction in payment for the time period in question is only possible if the Contractual Partner is unable to avail himself in full of the services which are offered at the lodging establishment as a consequence of the extraordinary weather conditions. The Lodging Provider is entitled to seek at least the amount of remuneration equivalent to the standard price during low season.

§ 15 Termination of the Lodging Contract – Premature Dissolution

15.1 If the Lodging Contract was entered into for a specific time period, it terminates when that time period has expired.

15.2 If the Contractual Party departs prematurely, the Lodging Provider is entitled to demand compensation in full. The Lodging Provider will deduct any amounts saved due to the Guest’s failure to utilize services, or whatever amount he has received by renting out the accommodations which had been reserved to other guests. Savings are only at hand if the lodging establishment is fully booked at the time the Guest fails to avail him-/herself of his/her accommodations and those accommodations, due to the Contractual Partner’s cancellation, can indeed be rented out to other guests. The burden of proof with respect to savings is borne by the Contractual Partner.

15.3 The contract with the Lodging Provider terminates with the death of a guest.

15.4 If the lodging contract was entered into for an indefinite time period, the Contractual Parties may dissolve the contract by 10 AM of the 3rd day prior to the intended end of the contract.

  • makes material adverse use of the accommodations, or if the aforementioned behaves in an inconsiderate, offensive or otherwise grossly inappropriate way that adversely impacts the comfort of other guests, the owner, his people or third-parties residing in the accommodation establishment, or if the aforementioned commits a potentially criminal act against the property, morals or physical safety of such persons;
  • is afflicted by a contagious disease or an illness that extends beyond the lodging period, or otherwise becomes in need of care;
  • fails to pay the bills with which they have been presented by the payment deadline, pursuant to a reasonable grace period (3 days).

15.6 If fulfillment of the contract becomes impossible due to an event that is deemed force majeure (e.g. act of nature, strike, lockout, governmental decree etc.), the Lodging Provider may dissolve the lodging contract at any time and without any obligation to abide by a notice period, insofar as the contract is not deemed to have already been dissolved according to the law, or the Lodging Provider has been released from his accommodation obligations. Potential claims for damages etc. on the part of the Contractual Partner are excluded.

§ 16 Illness or Death of the Guest

16.1 If the Guest becomes ill during his stay at the lodging establishment, at the request of the Guest the Lodging Provider will summon medical care. If there is imminent danger, the Lodging Provider will summon medical care, even not at the Guest’s direction, especially when it is vital to do so and the Guest is incapacitated.

16.2 For as long as the Guest is not in a position to make decisions or the relatives of the Guest cannot be contacted, the Lodging Provider will secure medical care at the expense of the Guest. The extent of these care measures ends, however, at the point in time when the Guest is able to make their own decisions or when family members have been notified of this medical incident.

16.3 The Lodging Provider may assert damage claims against the Contractual Partner and the Guest, or in the event of a fatality, against the legal heirs, in particular for the following costs:

  • restoration of walls, furnishings, carpets etc. insofar as these have been soiled or damaged in association with the illness or fatality,
  • room rental charges insofar as the accommodations were used by the guest, plus any additional days upon which the accommodations could not be used due to disinfection, clearing etc.,
  • any and all other miscellaneous damages incurred by the Lodging Provider.

§ 17 Place of Fulfillment, Jurisdiction and Applicable Law

17.1 The place of fulfillment is the place where the lodging establishment is located.

17.2 This contract is subject to Austrian formal and substantial law under exclusion of international conflict of laws provisions (in particular the IPRG and EVÜ) as well as the UN Sales Convention.

17.3 In a bilateral commercial transaction, the exclusive jurisdiction is at the actual place of business of the Lodging Provider, whereas the Lodging Provider is also entitled to assert his rights through a competent court at any other location.

17.4 If the Lodging Contract was entered into with a contractual partner who is a consumer whose place of residence or customary place of residence is Austria, complaints against the consumer may only be brought at the consumer’s place of residence, his customary place of residence or at his place of employment.

17.5 If the Lodging Contract was entered into with a contractual partner who is a consumer whose place of residence is in a member state of the European Union (with the exception of Austria), Iceland, Norway or Switzerland, the local competent court at the consumer’s residence shall have exclusive jurisdiction over complaints against the consumer.

§ 18 Miscellaneous

18.1 Insofar that the aforementioned provisions do not foresee otherwise, the commencement of a notice period begins with delivery of the correspondence stipulating the notice period to the Contractual Partner, who in turn is required to comply with the deadline. When calculating a deadline defined in terms of days, the day upon which a particular time or event falls from which the deadline is calculated, does not count. Deadlines in terms of weeks or months reference a day of the week or month – stipulated by name or number – from which the deadline is calculated. If this day in the month is absent, the day is considered to be the last day of the month.

18.2 Declarations must have been delivered to the respective contractual partner by the last day of the deadline (12 midnight).

18.3 The Lodging Provider is entitled to respond to any demands of the Contractual Partner with his own counterclaims. The Contractual Partner is not entitled to respond to the Lodging Provider’s demands with his own counterclaims, other than if the Lodging Provider is insolvent or the demand of the Contractual Partner has been ordered by the courts or if it has been formally accepted by the Lodging Provider.

18.4 In the event of any omissions within these provisions, applicable legal statutes will apply.
