8. LIABILITY OF LIMEHOME
- Limehome is liable without limitation for damages for which it is responsible from injury to life, body or health. Furthermore, Limehome is liable for other damages, which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Limehome. For simple negligence, Limehome is liable only and limited to the contract-typical foreseeable damage, if a duty is violated, the fulfillment of which makes the proper execution of the contract possible in the first place and on the observance of which you as a guest can regularly rely (cardinal obligation). A breach of duty by Limehome is equal to that of its legal representatives, employees or vicarious agents. Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise regulated in these GTC.
- Should disruptions or defects in the services of Limehome occur, Limehome will endeavour to remedy the situation as soon as it becomes aware of this or upon immediate notification of the guest. The guest is obliged to make a reasonable contribution to remedy the disturbance and to keep possible damage to a minimum. In addition, the guest is obliged to inform Limehome in good time of the possibility of an unusually high damage.
- Limehome is liable for things brought in according to the legal regulations. The claim expires if the guest does not notify Limehome immediately after becoming aware of the loss, destruction or damage of the item brought in, unless this late notification has no effect on the clarification of the facts. If the guest wishes to bring money, securities and valuables with a value of more than EUR 800.00 or other items with a value of more than EUR 3,500.00 into the apartment, this requires a separate written agreement with Limehome.
- If a parking space is made available to the guest, even against payment, this does not constitute a safekeeping contract. Limehome has no obligation to monitor the system. Limehome is only liable for loss of or damage to motor vehicles or bicycles parked or manoeuvred on the property or their contents in the event of intent or gross negligence. The guest is obliged to report any damage immediately, obvious damage, in any case before leaving the parking facility. Limehome is not liable for damage that is the sole responsibility of other tenants or other third parties.
- All claims against Limehome expire in principle within one year from the legal beginning of the limitation period. This does not apply to claims for damages or other claims arising from injury to life, body or health and/or due to grossly negligent or intentional breach of duty by Limehome, as well as in the case of breaches of a cardinal obligation as defined in point 8a.
- Limehome accepts no liability for lost property. Excluded from this is the liability due to intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty by Limehome. Lost property will only be returned on request for a fee and for a processing fee of EUR 10.00. The tourist accommodation shall undertake to store the documents for a period of six months.
9. SECURITY DEPOSIT
- In order to secure all claims of Limehome against the guest from the accommodation contract, the guest makes the following payments before the apartment is handed over
- in case of an agreed transfer period of less than three months, a security of EUR 200.00,
- in the case of an agreed transfer period of three to six months, a security amounting to one month’s premium.
- In the event of an agreed transfer period of less than three months, the accommodation facility may carry out a pre-authorisation on the guest’s payment card to compensate for the security deposit. If the security is not provided by the time the apartment is handed over, the guest has no right to the handover of the apartment. If Limehome has nevertheless given the apartment to the guest, Limehome is entitled to cancel the accommodation contract without notice, if the deposit is not paid within a reasonable period of grace to be set by the accommodation company.
- Limehome is obliged to settle the deposit within one month after the end of the accommodation contract.
10. CUSTOMER DATA

- If the identity of a guest cannot be clarified beyond doubt due to missing or incorrect documents, Limehome is entitled to cancel the booking.
- Limehome uses software solutions to avoid defective bookings. These solutions use the requested data (email address, residential address, telephone number, credit card, etc.) to determine a so- called “Fraud-Prevention-Score” for each guest and recognize defective bookings. If the software recognizes such a booking, Limehome reserves the right to cancel the booking.
11. TERMINATION OF THE ACCOMMODATION CONTRACT
