Should the guest wish to receive the invoice by post, the delivery time may be extended due to home office regulations and organizational reasons.

Furthermore, L8 Street is liable for other damages, which are based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by L8 Street. For simple negligence, L8 Street 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 L8 Street is equal to that of its legal representatives, employees or vicarious agents. Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise regulated in these GTC.

In addition, the guest is obliged to inform L8 Street in good time of the possibility of an unusually high damage.
3. L8 Street is liable for things brought in according to the legal regulations. The claim expires if the guest does not notify L8 Street 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 L8 Street.

The guest is obliged to report any damage immediately, obvious damage, in any case before leaving the parking facility. L8 Street is not liable for damage that is the sole responsibility of other tenants or other third parties.
5. All claims against L8 Street 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 L8 Street, as well as in the case of breaches of a cardinal obligation as defined in point 8a.
6. L8 Street accepts no liability for lost property. Excluded from this is the liability due to intentional or grossly negligent breaches of duty by L8 Street. 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.

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 L8 Street has nevertheless given the apartment to the guest, L8 Street 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.

2. If the identity of a guest cannot be clarified beyond doubt due to missing or incorrect documents, L8 Street is entitled to cancel the booking.
3. L8 Street 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, L8 Street reserves the right to cancel the booking.
