1 Rental agreement

2.1 The tenant is obliged to exercise the care required in traffic. In particular, the special traffic rules and safety regulations posted in the Parking Area must be observed. Instructions issued by hotel staff in the interests of security or relating to domiciliary rights must always be followed immediately. In all other respects, the provisions of the German traffic regulations (German StVO) apply accordingly.
2.2 Vehicles may only be parked within the marked parking spaces, but not in the parking spaces reserved for permanent users signposted or marked as such. The hotel is entitled to take appropriate measures to relocate vehicles parked incorrectly or to have them relocated at the tenant's expense. The hotel may charge a lump sum for this; in this case, the tenant may attempt to prove that the costs were not incurred or significantly lower than the lump sum.
2.3 The hotel is also authorised to remove the tenant's vehicle from the Parking Area in the event of imminent danger.

4.2 The maximum parking period is one month, unless a special agreement is made in individual cases.
4.3 After the maximum parking period has expired, the hotel is entitled to have the vehicle removed from the Parking Area at the tenant's expense, provided that the tenant and/or vehicle owner has previously been notified in writing, setting a deadline of at least two weeks, and this has remained unsuccessful or the value of the vehicle obviously does not exceed the rent due. The hotel is entitled to a fee in accordance with the price list until the vehicle is removed.

The charging of hybrid and e-vehicles with electricity at charging points and the billing of the services provided by the electricity provider are subject exclusively to their general terms and conditions and tariffs.
5 Liability of the hotel
5.1 The hotel shall only be liable for damage that can be proven to have been caused by it or its vicarious agents wilfully or through gross negligence. This limitation of liability shall not apply in the event of injury to life, limb or health or in the event of a breach of material contractual obligations.
5.2 The tenant is obliged to notify the hotel immediately in writing if there is any damage. Damage must also be reported to the hotel staff before removing the vehicle from the Parking Area.

5.4 If the tenant is a hotel guest and the hotel takes over the parking or collection of the vehicle at the request of the tenant, this does not constitute a safekeeping agreement or a duty of supervision, as this is merely a courtesy on the part of the hotel towards the guest. Damage caused to other vehicles or property is to be ettled via the motor vehicle liability insurance of the tenant/vehicle owner. Furthermore, the hotel and any driver who belongs to the hotel staff shall not be liable for any damage directly caused to the tenant's vehicle or for any financial disadvantages in connection with the settlement of damage to other vehicles or property via the tenant's/vehicle owner's motor vehicle liability insurance (own risk deductibles, premium increases, etc.), unless the driver appointed by the hotel caused the damage wilfully or through gross negligence. If the tenant and the vehicle owner are not identical, the tenant must indemnify the hotel and the driver authorised by the hotel against any claims by the vehicle owner in cases in which they are not liable under the above provisions.

The tenant/vehicle owner is entitled to any proceeds of a disposal or sale less the costs incurred and the parking fee incurred up to the time of removal of the vehicle.
