After expiry of the cancellation periods, cancellation shall be excluded and CARDRONA TERRACES shall retain the claim to the agreed remuneration – despite non-utilisation of the service. The same applies in the event of the Guest’s no-show or if the Guest leaves earlier than their confirmed reservation. In the case of confirmed reservations lasting several days, all subsequent nights including the second night are cancelled in the event of no-show and the Guest has no claim to the subsequent nights.
Reservations are valid until 1pm on the day of arrival. After 1pm on the day of arrival the reservation expires automatically with the reservation considered a No Show. CARDRONA TERRACES is entitled to rent the property to another party.

7 Resale

8 Liability

CARDRONA TERRACES shall not be liable for damages for which it is responsible arising from injury to life, body or health. Furthermore, CARDRONA TERRACES shall not be liable for other damages which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by CARDRONA TERRACES. In the case of simple negligence, CARDRONA TERRACES’s liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract, if a duty is violated, the fulfilment of which is essential for the proper performance of the accommodation contract and on the observance of which you as a Guest may regularly rely (cardinal obligation). A breach of duty on the part of CARDRONA TERRACES is equivalent to that of its legal representatives, employees or vicarious agents. Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise regulated.
Should malfunctions or defects occur in the services of CARDRONA TERRACES, CARDRONA TERRACES shall endeavour to remedy them as soon as it becomes aware of them or upon immediate notification of the Guest. The Guest is obliged to make a reasonable contribution to remedy the disturbance and to keep any possible damage to a minimum. Furthermore, the Guest is obliged to inform CARDRONA TERRACES immediately of the possibility of extraordinarily high damages.
CARDRONA TERRACES shall be liable for items brought in in accordance with the statutory provisions. The claim expires if the Guest does not notify CARDRONA TERRACES immediately after becoming aware of the loss, destruction or damage of the items brought in, unless this delayed 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 1000NZD or other items with a value of more than 5000NZD into the suites, a separate written agreement with CARDRONA TERRACES is required in relation to this paragraph.
If a parking space is provided to the Guest, even against payment, this does not constitute a safekeeping contract. CARDRONA TERRACES has no duty of supervision. In the event of loss of or damage to motor vehicles or bicycles parked or manoeuvred on the property or their contents, CARDRONA TERRACES shall only be liable 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. CARDRONA TERRACES is not liable for damage for which other tenants or other third parties are solely responsible.
All claims against CARDRONA TERRACES shall in principle become statute-barred within one year from the statutory commencement of the limitation period. This shall not apply to claims for damages or other claims arising from injury to life, body or health and/or due to a grossly negligent or intentional breach of duty by CARDRONA TERRACES as well as in the case of breaches of a cardinal obligation within the meaning of Section 8.1
CARDRONA TERRACES accepts no liability for lost property. Excluded from this is liability due to intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty on the part of CARDRONA TERRACES. Lost items shall only be returned on request, for a fee and for a processing fee of 100NZD. CARDRONA TERRACES undertakes to store lost property for a period of six months and shall charge an appropriate fee for this, which is customary for this purpose and is based on the time and effort required for storage. Any items left behind by the Guest will be sent to the Guest on request at the Guest’s risk and expense. After expiry of the period of safekeeping, the items will be handed over to the local Police office, if they have a recognisable value. CARDRONA TERRACES shall not be liable for theft of or damage to clothes or any other items brought by Guests or Guests’ companions.

9 Guest data

In order to ensure communication with the Guest, CARDRONA TERRACES requires that the email address and the mobile phone number are provided.
To verify the identity of the Guest, CARDRONA TERRACES is entitled to request the following valid identification document (for domestic Guests an identity card or passport; for foreign Guests a passport), and valid credit card data at check-in in physical or digital form.
If the identity of a Guest cannot be clarified due to missing or incorrect documents, CARDRONA TERRACES is entitled to cancel the reservation.
In order to avoid fraudulent bookings, CARDRONA TERRACES uses software solutions which use the requested data (email address, residential address, telephone number, credit card, etc.) to determine a so-called “fraud prevention score” for each Guest to identify fraudulent bookings. Should the software detect such a booking, CARDRONA TERRACES reserves the right to cancel the booking.

10 Termination of the accommodation contract

CARDRONA TERRACES is entitled to terminate the accommodation contract for good cause. Good cause shall be deemed to exist in particular if (i) force majeure or other circumstances beyond the control of CARDRONA TERRACES that make the fulfilment of the accommodation contract impossible; (ii) CARDRONA TERRACES is booked under misleading or false information or withholding of essential facts; (iii) CARDRONA TERRACES has reasonable reasons to assume that the use of the service may jeopardise the smooth business operations, the security or the public reputation of CARDRONA TERRACES and its locations, without this being attributable to the controlling or the responsible party; (iv) the purpose or cause of the stay is unlawful; or (v) in the case of resale/rental and/or further mediation (see clause 7).
CARDRONA TERRACES is entitled to withdraw from the accommodation contract if it has been agreed in writing that the Guest can withdraw from the accommodation contract free of charge within a certain period of time.
CARDRONA TERRACES must inform the Guest immediately of the exercise of the right of termination. In the event of a justified termination of the accommodation, the Guest shall not be entitled to compensation.

11 Smoking prohibited in the suite and general areas

The CARDRONA TERRACES suites are non-smoking. Smoking is therefore prohibited both in the indoor common areas and in the Guest suites as well as on balconies and/or terraces. In the event of an infringement, CARDRONA TERRACES shall be entitled to demand from the Guest an amount of 250NZD as compensation for the cleaning costs to be incurred separately, including any loss of turnover resulting from a rental of CARDRONA TERRACES which is not possible as a result. This amount of damages shall be set higher if CARDRONA TERRACES proves higher damages.

12 Damage or theft

In the event of damage exceeding normal use or theft, CARDRONA TERRACES shall be entitled to charge the Guest for the damage as well as for the separate expenses incurred in order to remedy the damage, including any loss of turnover resulting from not possible rental of CARDRONA TERRACES. Even slight negligence shall justify the obligation of the customer to pay compensation.
The Guest is liable for any damage to the suite provided, the furnishings and the rooms, equipment and facilities intended for communal use, which he or his visitors have culpably caused through use contrary to the contract and which cannot be attributed to normal wear and tear.

The same applies to damage caused by third parties insofar as they are staying at CARDRONA TERRACES at the customer’s instigation.

Guests are obliged to observe the copyrights, patent rights, name rights, trademark rights and personal rights of third parties when using the content.
Guests shall indemnify CARDRONA TERRACES on first request from all claims and claims for damages by third parties and from the costs of legal defence in an appropriate amount which have been caused by the unlawful use of the internet connection provided by the Guest or by third parties with the knowledge of the Guest. This indemnity claim includes in particular claims arising from the violation of copyrights, patent rights, name rights, trademark rights and personal rights as well as violations of data protection laws.
Guests are prohibited from passing on the login data for the Internet connection to third parties. In the event of violation, Guests shall be liable to CARDRONA TERRACES for all damage caused by the forwarding of the access data.
CARDRONA TERRACES also reserves the right to block the Guests’ internet connection in the event of legal violations.
