Contractual claims of the customer shall not be justified by this. The customer shall be free to prove that the hotel has no or a significantly lower claim to a usage fee.

Furthermore, the Hotel shall be liable for other damage caused by an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Hotel or by an intentional or negligent breach of typical contractual duties by the Hotel. A breach of duty on the part of the hotel is equivalent to that of a legal representative or vicarious agent. Further claims for damages are excluded, unless otherwise provided for in this Item 7.
