Heidelberg Castle Illumination The Heidelberg Castle Illuminations in June, July and September cast their spell on thousands every year. Bengali fires illuminate the world-famous ruin in a mysterious red light, in memory of the destruction of the castle in the Palatinate War of Succession. The origin of the subsequent fireworks from the Alte Brücke (Old Bridge), however, is a romantic one. Prince Elector Frederic V had fireworks held in 1613 for his new wife Elisabeth Stuart, thereby founding this tradition that is now more than four hundred years old. Experience the Heidelberg Castle Illumination from the front seats as the highlight of a boat trip of 1.5 hours into the Neckar valley. When the anchor is lowered at the Alte Brücke, you will have a gorgeous view of the spectacle.

54 | General Terms and Conditions
General Terms and Conditions Heidelberg Marketing GmbH, Package Travel Terms and Conditions Dear guests, We ask you to carefully read the following Package Travel Terms and Conditions. To the extent effectively agreed, these Terms and Conditions become part of the contract for package travel concluded between the customer /traveler (hereinafter referred to as the “Traveler“) and Heidelberg Marketing GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “HDM“). They supplement the statutory provisions contained in section 651a - y of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch – “BGB“) and Articles 250 and 252 of the Introductory Act to the German Civil Code (Einführungsgesetz zum BGB – “EGBGB“) and expand upon them. These Terms and Conditions apply exclusively to package travel arrangements from HDM. They do not apply to package travel arrangements for groups of 15 persons or more, to the arrangement of third-party services (e.g. guided tours and tickets), nor to contracts for accommodation services or making arrangements for such contracts. 1. Conclusion of the travel contract; obligations of the Traveler 1.1 The following applies to all booking channels: a) The trip description and supplemental information provided by HDM for the respective trip, to the extent available to the Traveler at the time of booking, comprise the basis for an offer by HDM and the booking made by the Traveler. b) Travel agents and booking offices are not authorized by HDM to make agreements, to provide information, or make warranties that amend the agreed contents of the travel contract, extend beyond, or conflict with what is included in the trip description and / or services contractually agreed by HDM. c) Information contained in hotel guides and similar listings that are not published by HDM is not binding upon HDM and its duty of performance to the extent not included within HDM‘s duty of performance by express agreement with the Traveler. d) If the contents of the travel confirmation from HDM deviate from the contents of the booking, this comprises a new offer from HDM which is binding upon it for a period of ten days. A contract is concluded on the basis of this new offer in the event that HDM has provided notice of the change in regard to the new offer, has satisfied its precontractual information obligations and the Traveler accepts such offer during the tenday period referred to above by express statement to the travel agency or by making advance payment. e) The pre-contractual information provided by the travel agent with regard to the essential features of the trip, the trip price and all additional costs, payment arrangements, minimum number of participants, and cancellation fees (pursuant to Article 250 section 3 nos. 1, 3, to 5 and 7 EGBGB) do not become part of the package travel contract only if expressly agreed between the parties. f) The Traveler is liable for all contractual obligations of other travelers for whom the Traveler makes a booking to the extent of the Traveler‘s own liability, provided the Traveler has made such an undertaking by express and separate agreement. 1.2 The following applies to bookings made verbally, by telephone, in writing, by email, or fax: a) When making a booking, the Traveler is making a binding offer to conclude a package travel contract with HDM. The Traveler is bound by the booking for three business days. b) The contract is concluded upon receipt of the trip confirmation (acceptance notice) from HDM. Upon or immediately after conclusion of the contract, HDM will provide the Traveler with a travel confirmation, the contents of which comply with applicable laws and regulations on a durable medium (which permits the Traveler to save or store the confirmation unedited such that it will be accessible to the Traveler for a reasonable period, e.g. on paper or by email), provided that the Traveler does not have a right to a trip confirmation in paper form pursuant to Article 250 section 6 subsection (1) second sentence EGBGB whilst the contract was concluded in the simultaneous physical presence of both parties or outside of the business premises. 1.3 HDM notes that there is no right to cancellation under applicable law (section 312 subsection (7), section 312g subsection (2) first sentence no. 9 BGB) in the case of package travel contracts under sections 651a and 651c BGB concluded via distance sales (letters, catalogues, telephone calls, fax, email, or messages (SMS) sent via mobile network as well as radio, telemedia, and online services) but rather only the statutory revocation and termination rights, in particular revocation pursuant to section 651h BGB (see also section 3) are available. However, there is a cancellation right if the contract for travel services under section 651a BGB is concluded outside of business premises, unless the verbal negotiations upon which the formation of the contract is based were conducted on the basis of a preceding order by a consumer; there is likewise no right of cancellation in the latter case.
2. Payment 2.1 HDM and the travel agency may only request or accept payments for the trip prior to the end of the package travel if an effective customer funds insurance contract is in place and the Traveler is provided a risk coverage certificate with the name and contact information of the customer funds insurer in clear, understandable and highlighted fashion. Following conclusion of the contract, the trip price is due for payment four weeks prior to the commencement of travel in exchange for provision of the risk coverage certificate, provided the booking confirmation / invoice does not reflect any other agreement. The entire trip price is immediately due for payment in the case of bookings made less than four weeks prior to the commencement of travel. 2.2 The provisions of section 2.1 notwithstanding, a risk coverage certificate needs not be provided as a prerequisite for payment falling due if the package travel offer does not include transportation to and / or from the location at which the package travel services will be provided and, contrary to section 3.1, it has been agreed and noted in the trip confirmation, that the entire trip price is due for payment at the end of the package travel upon the end of travel without prior advance payment. 2.3 If the Traveler does not make an advance payment and / or the final payment in accordance with the agreed payment terms, even though HDM is ready and able to provide the contractually agreed services, has satisfied its statutory information obligations, and the Traveler has no statutory or contractual right of offsetting or retention and if the Traveler is responsible for the default of payment, HDM is entitled to revoke the package travel contract following a warning and grant of an appropriate grace period and the expiration of this period, and charge the Traveler cancellation fees in accordance with section 3, unless the Traveler has a set-off or retention right at the time the payment falls due, or the Traveler is not at fault for the payment delay. 3. Cancellation by the Traveler; rebooking 3.1 The Traveler may cancel the package travel contract at any time before departure. Cancellation must be communicated to HDM at the address set out below; if the trip has been booked via a travel agency, notice of cancellation may also be provided to the travel agency. It is advisable for the customer to provide notice of cancellation in writing. 3.2 If the customer cancels prior to the commencement of travel or fails to begin travel, the tour operator loses the right to receive the trip price. Instead, the tour operator may demand an appropriate compensation as far as it is not at fault for the cancellation. HDM may not demand compensation if exceptional events that significantly impair the ability to provide the package trip or to transport persons to the destination occur at the or in its immediate vicinity; circumstances are deemed unavoidable and exceptional if they are not subject to the control of the tour operator and their results could not have been prevented even if all reasonable precautions had been taken. 3.3 HDM has defined the following fixed compensation levels under consideration of the period between notice of cancellation and the commencement of travel as well as under consideration of expected savings and the expected profits that may be earned by other use of the travel services. Compensation is computed based on the relevant cancellation tier based on the time at which notice of the cancellation is received: a) Between the 27th and the 21st day prior to the commencement of travel, 20 % of the trip price b) Between the 20th and 12th day prior to the commencement of travel, 40 % of the trip price c) Between the 11th and the 3rd day prior to the commencement of travel, 60 % of the trip price d) From the 2nd day prior to the commencement of travel and in the case of a no-show, 90 % of the trip price. 3.4 We strongly encourage the purchase of a travel cancellation insurance as well as an insurance to cover return related expenses in the event of an accident or illness. 3.5 In any event, the Traveler is free to prove to HDM that HDM incurred no damages at all or damages that are significantly less than the fixed cancellation fees demanded by HDM. 3.6 A fixed compensation fee in accordance with section 3.3 shall not be deemed to have been fixed or agreed upon to the extent HDM proves that HDM has incurred expenses that are significantly in excess of the applicable fixed compensation fee under section 3.3. In such cases, HDM is obliged to specifically quantify and substantiate the amount of compensation demanded subject to consideration of saved expenses and the purchase of any other use of the travel services. 3.7 If the tour operator is obliged to refund the trip price following cancellation, the tour operator is required to make such a refund without delay and in any event within fourteen days of receipt of the notice of cancellation at the latest.
General Terms and Conditions | 55
3.8 The foregoing is without prejudice to the customer‘s statutory right to demand that a third party take over the rights and duties under the package travel contract in lieu of the Traveler pursuant to section 651e BGB by providing notice to the tour operator on a durable medium. Such a declaration is timely in any event if received by the tour operator 7 days before the commencement of travel. 3.9 If any changes are made with regard to travel dates, accommodations, meal arrangements, or other services (booking changes) at the request of the Traveler after the conclusion of the contract, HDM may, up to the 31st day prior to the commencement of travel, impose a fee of € 15 without the Traveler‘s having a legal right to any such booking changes and only to the extent such changes are possible. Later booking changes are only possible subject to termination of the travel contract and rebooking in accordance with the terms of cancellation set out above. The foregoing does not apply to requests for booking changes that result in only minor expenses, or if booking changes are necessary because HDM provided the Traveler no, insufficient or incorrect pre-contractual information as required under Article 250 section 3 EGBGB. 4. Duties of the Traveler 4.1 Travel documents: The customer is required to notify HDM or the travel agent from whom he booked the package travel if he does not receive the required travel documents (e.g. hotel or other vouchers) by the deadline indicated by HDM. 4.2 Notice of defects / demand for relief: a) The Traveler may demand relief if the package travel is not provided free of defects. b) In the event that HDM could not provide relief due to a failure to provide notice of the defect for which the Traveler was at fault, the Traveler may not demand a reduction in price under section 651m BGB or compensation for damages under section 651n BGB. c) The Traveler is obliged to provide notice of defects immediately to HDM‘s local representative. If a local representative of HDM is neither available, nor contractually required, any defects in the package travel are to be reported to HDM at the contact office indicated by HDM. The booking confirmation will provide information regarding the availability of a local representative of HDM and/or its contact office. However, the Traveler may also notify the travel agent from whom he booked the package travel of the defect. d) The representative of HDM is commissioned to provide relief to the extent possible. However, such representative is not authorized to recognize any claims. 4.3 Deadlines prior to termination: If the Traveler desires to terminate a package travel contract pursuant to section 651l BGB due to a major defect in the travel package of the type described in section 651i subsection (2) BGB, the Traveler is first required to provide HDM a reasonable period to provide relief. The foregoing does not apply only in cases where HDM refuses to provide relief or if immediate relief is required. 5. Limitation of liability 5.1 Contractual liability for damages on the part of HDM that do not result from injury to life, limb or health, and are not the result of fault on the part of HDM, is limited to three times the trip price. 5.2 HDM is not liable for interruptions in performance, personal and material damages related to services that are only provided as third- party services (e.g. excursions offered by third parties, sporting events, theatre visits, or exhibitions) if these services are explicitly labeled in the travel description and booking confirmation, are clearly labeled as third-party services, including the identity and address of the third- party contract partner, such that it is apparent to the Traveler that they are not part of the HDM package travel and may be selected separately. This is without prejudice to sections 651b, 651c, 651w and 651y BGB. 5.3 Nonetheless, HDM is liable if, and to the extent that, damages result from a violation of notice, information or organizational duties on the part of HDM.
6. Unused services The Traveler has no right to a proportionate refund if the Traveler does not make use of specific elements of the package travel due to premature return related to an illness or other reasons for which HDM is not at fault. However, to the extent that very small sums are not involved, HDM will endeavour to obtain a refund from the service provider and repay the corresponding amounts to the Traveler as soon as, and to the extent that, such amounts are actually refunded to HDM from the individual service providers. 7. Special regulations in connection with pandemics (in particular the Corona virus) 7.1 The parties agree that the agreed travel services shall always be provided by the respective service providers in compliance with and in accordance with the official requirements and conditions applicable at the time of travel. 7.2 The Traveler agrees to comply with reasonable regulations or restrictions on use of the service providers when using travel services and to notify the tour guide and the service provider immediately in the event of typical symptoms of illness. 8. Choice of law and jurisdiction; information regarding consumer dispute settlement 8.1 In relation to Travelers who are not citizens of a member state of the European Union or Switzerland, the parties agree to the exclusive application of German law to the either legal and contractual relationship between HDM and the Traveler. Such Travelers may only lodge suit against HDM at its place of domicile. 8.2 In the case of lawsuits lodged by HDM against Travelers and / or contractual partners to the package travel contract who are merchants, legal persons under public or private law and who maintain their residence or habitual place of abode outside of Germany, or whose residence or habitual place of abode is unknown at the time a lawsuit is lodged, the location of HDM‘s domicile is the agreed place of jurisdiction. 8.3 With reference to the Act on Consumer Dispute Resolution (Gesetz über Verbraucherstreitbeilegung), HDM indicates that it will not participate in voluntary consumer dispute resolution. HDM will provide appropriate notice to the consumer should consumer dispute resolution become mandatory for HDM after these Terms and Conditions have been printed. HDM notes the European online dispute resolution platform https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ with regard to all travel contracts concluded electronically.

56 | General Terms and Conditions
General Terms and Conditions Terms and Conditions for Guest Accommodations and Agency Services Dear guests, Heidelberg Marketing GmbH, referred to hereinafter as “HDM,“ arranges accommodations at lodging establishments and from private renters, referred to hereinafter as “Hosts“, in Heidelberg and the vicinity based on current availability. To the extent validly agreed, the following Terms and Conditions shall become part of the lodging agreement concluded between the guest and the Host in the event of a booking, and provide terms that supplement the statutory rules applicable to the contractual relationship between the guest and the Host and to the contractual relationship between the Host and HDM related to placement services. Accordingly, we request that you read these Terms and Conditions carefully. 1. Status of HDM 1.1. HDM is the operator of the respective websites and/or publisher of the respective directory of accommodations, catalogues, flyers or other printed media and websites to the extent it is expressly listed as publisher / operator in such media. 1.2. To the extent that HDM arranges a combination of accommodation and ancillary services provided by the host and the own ancillary services of the host are not a material part of the overall value of the combination of services and represent neither a material feature of such combination of services by the host nor of HDM itself nor have been advertised as such, HDM is deemed merely to be an agent arranging accommodation services. 1.3. As an agent, HDM is deemed to be the provider of related travel services provided that the requirements for offering related travel services have been satisfied pursuant to the provisions of section 651w BGB. 1.4. Without prejudice to the obligations of HDM as the provider of related travel services (in particular providing the legally required information sheet and obtaining a guarantee for customer funds in the event of collection activities by HDM) and the legal consequences of the failure to comply with such statutory obligations, HDM is neither the tour operator nor a party of the contract with regard to any accommodation contract formed as the result of a booking provided that the requirements of 1.2 or 1.3 have been satisfied. Accordingly, it is not liable for information provided by the host regarding prices and services, the provision of services itself as well as for any associated defects. This is without prejudice to any liability on the part of HDM based on the agency contract and applicable provisions of law, in particular on the basis of mandatory regulations related to teleservices and electronic legal transactions. 2. Contract formation 2.1 The following applies to all booking types: a) The bases for the Host‘s offer and the Guest‘s booking consist of the description of the accommodations and supplemental information as contained in other materials on which the booking was made (e.g., description of the city, explanation of classification, etc.) to the extent available to the guest at the time of booking. b) HDM expressly notes that, in accordance with the statutory provisions (Section 312g Paragraph 2 Sentence 1 No. 9 of the German Civil Code [Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch – BGB]), there is no right of withdrawal in the case of contracts for lodging services that were concluded via distance selling (letters, catalogues, telephone calls, facsimile, emails, via messages sent on a cellular network [SMS] as well as via radio and telemedia). In such cases, the statutory provisions applicable to unused rental premises (Section 537 BGB) (see also section 6 of these Terms and Conditions for Guest Accommodations) apply exclusively. However, there is a right of withdrawal if the lodging agreement was concluded off-premises. 2.2 The following applies to bookings made verbally, by telephone, in writing, by email or by fax: a) By making a booking, the guest makes a binding offer to conclude a lodging agreement with the Host. b) The contract is formed upon receipt of the booking confirmation from the Host by the guest. There is no form requirement applicable to the booking confirmation such that confirmations made verbally or by telephone are binding for the guest. Generally, the Host or HDM sends an additional, written booking confirmation to the guest. However, bookings made by a guest verbally or by telephone shall also result in a binding contract if confirmed verbally or by telephone, even if the guest is not sent a corresponding written booking confirmation. 2.3 Section 2.2 notwithstanding, the following applies to bookings made online: a) The process for making an online booking shall be explained to the guest at the relevant online portal. The guest has the ability to correct or delete information he / she has entered, or to reset the entire online reservation form by means of a correction
function, the use of which is explained to the guest. Contract languages for making an online booking are indicated. b) To the extent the contract text is stored by the Host or in the online booking system, the guest shall be informed of this and informed of the ability to access the contract text at a later time. c) By clicking the “make binding reservation” button, the guest makes a binding offer to conclude a lodging agreement with the Host. The guest shall receive immediate electronic confirmation of his / her booking. d) The transmission of an offer to conclude a contract by clicking on the “make binding reservation“ button does not confer upon the guest any right to the formation of a lodging agreement in accordance with his / her booking information. Instead, the Host is free to decide whether or not to accept the guest‘s offer. e) The contract is concluded when the guest receives the booking confirmation from the Host or HDM as its agent. 2.4 If the booking confirmation is provided in the form of a message on the screen (realtime booking) immediately after the guest makes the booking by clicking on the “make binding reservation“ button, the lodging agreement is concluded upon receipt and presentation of this booking confirmation on the guest‘s screen without the requirement of an intervening notice that the booking has been received. In such cases, the customer is provided the option to save and print the booking confirmation. However, the binding nature of the lodging agreement does not depend on the circumstance that the guest has the option to save or print the booking confirmation. The Host or HDM generally sends an additional, written booking confirmation to the guest by email, email attachment, postal mail or fax. However, receipt of such additional booking confirmation is not a requirement for the lodging agreement to be binding. 3. Reservations 3.1 Non-binding reservations that entitle the guest to a right of withdrawal without charge are only permitted in the event of an express agreement to such effect with HDM or the Host. 3.2 If no reservation has been expressly agreed, a booking generally results in a legally binding contract concluded by and between the Host and the guest / client in accordance with section 2 (Contract formation). 3.3 If a non-binding reservation has been agreed with individual guests, the guest is required to notify HDM by the agreed date as to whether the reservation is to be considered a binding booking. If the guest fails to do so, the reservation shall be voided without any additional duty to provide notice on the part of HDM or the Host. If timely notice is given, the booking becomes binding, regardless of a booking confirmation subsequently issued by HDM or the Host. 4. Pricing and services; price increases 4.1 The prices indicated in the booking basis (host directory, host offer, internet) are final prices and include statutory sales tax and all ancillary costs unless otherwise stipulated with respect to ancillary costs. Visitors‘ tax or fees for consumption-based goods and services (e.g., electricity, gas, water, firewood) and for optional and additional goods and services may be incurred and listed separately. 4.2 Goods and services the Host is required to provide shall be based exclusively on the booking confirmation together with the applicable brochure and / or property description and any supplemental and express agreements made with the guest / client. The guest / client is advised to obtain any supplemental agreements in writing such as by fax, email or other informal written form. 4.3 Moreover, the Host may adjust its prices if the customer subsequently wishes to make changes to the number of rooms reserved, the Host‘s services or the length of the stay, and the Host consents to such changes. 4.4 The Host may charge a re-booking fee in the amount of € 15.00 for each change in the case of re-bookings (changes with regard to arrival or departure dates, length of stay, meal plan, booked additional goods and services or other supplemental goods and services) for which there is no legal right. The foregoing shall not apply in the event that such change is only minor. 5. Payment 5.1 The due date for payment is based on the terms agreed with the guest or client and noted in the booking confirmation. In the event that no special agreement has been made, the full price for the accommodations, including fees for ancillary costs and supplemental goods and services, shall be payable to the Host at the end of the stay.
General Terms and Conditions | 57
5.2 Payments may not be made in foreign currency or by collection-only check. Credit card payments are only permitted if this has been agreed or the Host offers this form of payment in general as indicated on a posted notice. Payments at the end of the stay may not be made via bank transfer. 5.3 If the guest does not make an agreed down payment and / or the remaining payment or does not make it in full within the specified period despite a reminder from the Host setting a reasonable deadline, although the Host is willing and able to properly provide the contractual services, no legal or contractual right of set-off or retention of the guest exists, and if the guest is responsible for the delay in payment, the Host shall be entitled to withdraw from the contract with the guest and to demand cancelation costs from him / her in accordance with section 6 of these terms and conditions. . 6. Cancellation and no-show The following applies in the event of cancellation and no-show unless otherwise agreed in individual cases and noted in the booking confirmation: 6.1 Cancellation at no charge is possible up to 2 days prior to arrival in the case of bookings for up to 3 rooms. 6.2 For bookings of more than 3 rooms, cancellation of the reservation, in whole or in part, is only possible without incurring a charge up to 7 business days prior to arrival. 6.3 The following provisions shall apply in the case of a no-show or in the event it is no longer possible to cancel without incurring a charge: a) In the event of cancellation, the Host‘s claim to payment of the agreed price for accommodations, including the meals component and fees for additional services, shall remain unaffected. b) The Host shall undertake to make efforts to rent the cancelled rooms to other guests within the scope of its normal business operations and without obligation make any special efforts as well as under consideration of the particular nature of the accommodations booked (e.g., non-smoking room, family room). c) The Host is required to provide credit for other rental of the room and, where this is not possible, for expenses saved. d) In accordance with percentage rates approved by applicable jurisprudence for calculating saved expenses, the guest and/or client shall undertake to pay the following amounts to the lodging establishment, in each case based on the full price for lodging services (including all ancillary expenses): in the case of accommodations without meals, 90 %; in the case of overnight stays / breakfast, 80 %; in the case of half-board, 70 %; in the case of full board, 60 %. e) The guest / client remains expressly entitled to provide evidence to the Host that the expenses saved by the latter are materially higher than the deductions provided for above, or that the lodging services or other goods and services were subject to other use. In the event of such proof, the guest / client is only obligated to pay the lowest relevant amount. 6.4 Purchase of a travel cancellation insurance is highly recommended. 6.5 For administrative reasons, notice of cancellation must be addressed to HDM (not the lodging establishment) and should be provided in writing, such as by fax, email or other informal written form, in the interest of the guest. 7. Arrival and departure 7.1 Guests are required to arrive at the agreed time or by 6:00 pm at the latest if no specific time has been agreed. 7.2 The following applies to later arrivals: a) The guest shall undertake to inform the Host not later than the agreed date of arrival if the guest will be arriving late or intends to arrive a day late in the case of accommodations booked for multiple days. b) The Host is authorized to rent the accommodations to another guest if timely notice is not provided. The provisions of Section 6.3 shall apply mutatis mutandis for the period during which a room is vacant. c) If the guest provides notice of late arrival, he / she shall undertake to pay the agreed charges less expenses saved by the Host in accordance with Section 6.3, including for periods of non-occupancy for which a room was reserved, unless the Host is contractually or legally required to accept responsibility for the reasons for delayed occupancy. 7.3 Guests are required to vacate the accommodations at the agreed time, but not later than 12:00 pm on the date of departure if no specific time has been agreed. The Host may demand additional compensation as appropriate in the event that the accommodations are not vacated in a timely manner. The foregoing is without prejudice to the Host‘s ability to claim additional damages. 8. Duties of the customer; termination by the Host 8.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the accommodation may only be occupied by the guest for whom it was booked. Occupation by another person, in particular subletting in the case of commercial customers or, in particular, the transfer of blocks of rooms, is prohibited. 8.2 The guest shall undertake to treat the room and all furnishings, as well as all furnishings and fixtures at the lodging establishment itself, only as intended and with
care and, if posted (e.g., in the case of pools and saunas), only pursuant to the rules for use. 8.3 The guest shall undertake to immediately report any defects and malfunctions to the Host and request they be remedied. Notice of defects provided solely to HDM is insufficient. The guest‘s right to assert claims may lapse, in whole or in part, if the guest is at fault for a failure to provide notice. 8.4 The guest may only terminate the contract in the event of substantial defects or malfunctions. Prior to termination, he / she must provide the Host a reasonable period to remedy said defect as part of the notification of the same unless it is impossible for said defect to be remedied, the Host refuses to remedy the defect, if termination of the contract without notice is justified by a legitimate interest of the guest or that this would make it objectively unreasonable to expect the guest to continue with their stay. 8.5 Bringing and housing pets at the accommodations is only permitted if expressly agreed and only if the Host provides for such an option in the description. In the case of such an agreement, the guest is required to provide truthful information about the type and size of the pet. A breach of this obligation may provide the Host with reasons to terminate the lodging agreement. 8.6 The Host may terminate the lodging agreement without observing a notice period if the guest, despite receiving a warning from the Host, continuously disrupts the Host‘s operations, other guests or the completion of the stay, or if the guest acts in a manner that contravenes the contract to such a degree that the immediate dissolution of the contract is justified. In the event that the Host terminates the contract, the foregoing provisions regarding the obligation to pay upon withdrawal by the guest shall apply mutatis mutandis with regard to the Host‘s right to payment. 9. Limitation of liability 9.1 The Host is liable without limitation, as far as the damage results from violation of an essential obligation, the performance of which was required for proper execution of the contract or the violation of which endangers achievement of the purpose of the contract or the damage results from violation of life, body or health. Apart from this, the Host‘s liability shall be limited to damage caused by the Host or its servants willfully or grossly negligently. 9.2 The foregoing provision is without prejudice to the Host‘s innkeeper‘s liability for items brought by the guest in accordance with sections 701 et seq. BGB. 9.3 The Host is not liable for disruptions in connection with goods and services that were merely arranged for the guest / client during the stay where it is clear that such goods and/or services are third-party services (e.g., sporting events, theatre tickets, exhibitions, etc.).
