Complaints from guests in this regard are not justified.


7. FOURSIDE cannot be held liable for the non-completion or poor completion of bookings in the event of force majeure or caused by the actions of third parties, the guest or the partner thereof, including non-availability of the Internet, restricted access to the website, external interventions, viruses or non- authorised advance payment on the part of the remitting bank.

IX. LIABILITY OF THE HOTEL/ LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO CUSTOMER'S PROPERTY

1. FOURSIDE is liable for its obligations arising from the contract. Claims of the customer for damages are excluded. Exceptions to this are damages arising from injuries to life, limb or health in cases where FOURSIDE is responsible for a violation of duty as well as any other damage arising from a deliberate or grossly negligent violation of duty committed by FOURSIDE and damages arising from a deliberate or negligent breach of typical contract duties by FOURSIDE. A violation of duty by FOURSIDE is equivalent to a violation of duty by a legal representative or a vicarious agent. If there are disruptions or defects in FOURSIDE's services, FOURSIDE will endeavor to remedy the situation as soon as it becomes aware of the disruption or defect, or upon immediate reprimand by the customer. The customer is obliged to contribute to a reasonable degree to correct the disruption and to keep possible damage to a minimum. The customer is also obliged to inform FOURSIDE in good time of the possibility of the emergence of extremely high damages.


2. Bringing exhibition items or other personal items into the function rooms or the hotel is at the risk of the customer. FOURSIDE assumes no liability for loss, destruction or damage, even for pecuniary damages, except in cases of gross negligence or intent on the part of FOURSIDE. Exceptions to this are damages from injury to life, body and health. In addition, all cases in which safe-keeping presents a contract-typical obligation due to the circumstances of the individual case are excluded from this exemption from liability.


3. Decorations brought in must conform to fire protection requirements. FOURSIDE is entitled to request official evidence of this. If such proof is not provided, FOURSIDE is entitled to remove materials already brought in at the cost of the customer. Due to the possibility of damage, the installation and fitting of goods must be agreed with FOURSIDE in advance.


4. Exhibition items and other items brought in must be removed immediately at the end of the event. If the customer fails to do so, FOURSIDE can remove and store the items at the customer's expense and without prior notification. If the items remain in the function room, FOURSIDE can calculate appropriate compensation for use for the length of time they remain there. The customer is free to prove that the above-mentioned claim was not made or was not made in the required amount.


5. The photos shown on the website and in brochures are of an indicative nature only and are for illustration purposes. They provide no guarantee as to the condition of the rooms booked by customers. Even if all efforts have been made to ensure that photographs, graphical representations and reproduced texts designed to illustrate FOURSIDE provide as accurate an impression as possible of the accommodation offered, differences may arise between the rooms booked and those illustrated, in particular due to the large number of rooms, changes to fixtures and fittings or any renovation work carried out. Complaints from guests in this regard are not justified.


6. FOURSIDE cannot be held liable for the non-completion or poor completion of bookings in the event of force majeure or caused by the actions of third parties, the guest or the partner thereof, including non-availability of the Internet, restricted access to the website, external interventions, viruses or non-authorized advance payment on the part of the remitting bank
