§ 4 ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
The arrival and departure of the tenant is his own responsibility and liability.
The minimum length of stay at VilaLila is 6 days/5 nights. Arrival and departure days are not fixed to specific days of the week.
The villa is available from 5 p.m. on the day of arrival. Please contact us 3-5 days before arrival by phone or email for key handover and instruction.
If the tenant does not arrive by midnight on the day of arrival without notifying the landlord, the contract is deemed to have been terminated. The landlord can then freely dispose of the villa.
A repayment of the rent due to non-arrival does not take place (see also § 5)
On the day of departure, the villa must be vacated by 10:00 a.m. Changed departure times or the storage of luggage beyond this time must be agreed with the landlord in advance. The landlord reserves the right to charge for a late departure that has not been agreed.

§ 5 CANCELLATION BY THE TENANT
You can withdraw from the contract at any time.
A cancellation of the booking must be made in writing.
If you withdraw from the contract, you are obliged to compensate us for the damage we have suffered. The date of receipt of the booking cancellation applies. The amount of the cancellation fee depends on the time up to the day of arrival and is calculated as follows:
A transfer of the rental contract to another person is possible up to 5 days before arrival with the consent of the landlord and only on the condition that the villa is only occupied by the maximum permitted number of people even after the transfer.
§ 6 CANCELLATION / LIABILITY BY THE OWNER
If the booking is canceled by the landlord as a result of force majeure or other unforeseeable circumstances or circumstances for which the landlord is not responsible and which make it impossible to fulfill the rental contract, the landlord’s liability is limited to refunding the rental price including the deposit. In the event of justified withdrawal, the lessee is not entitled to compensation. Liability for travel and hotel costs is not assumed by the landlord.
The landlord can withdraw from the contract after the start of the rental period without observing a deadline if the tenant, despite a warning, behaves in breach of contract to such an extent that the immediate cancellation of the rental contract is justified (see also § 2, § 7).
The landlord is liable within the scope of the duty of care of a prudent businessman for the safe and proper provision of the villa.
Liability for an impact on the rented property by force majeure, by possible failures or disruptions in the water or power supply, by failures in the WLAN connection as well as by unforeseeable and unavoidable events such as official orders or construction sites is excluded.
The landlord is not liable for personal belongings in the event of theft or fire.
Photos and texts on the website and in social media or in the flyer serve to realistically describe VilaLila. 100% correspondence with the rental property cannot be guaranteed. The landlord reserves the right to make changes to the equipment (e.g. furniture) and the inventory, provided they are of equal value.
§ 7 STAY IN THE VILLA
Upon arrival, the keys will be handed over and the landlord or his representative will give you a personal and written briefing with detailed information on how to use the inventory.
The inventory is to be treated gently and with care and is only intended to remain in the villa. Adjusting and changing furnishings and decorations is not permitted.
If defects exist or occur during the rental period, the landlord must be informed immediately. A reasonable period of time must be granted for the elimination of damage and defects. If defects exist or occur during the rental period, the landlord must be informed immediately. Complaints received by the landlord at the end of the stay or after leaving the villa are also excluded from compensation.
The tenant is liable for damage caused by him to the rental property and the inventory and for the loss of objects and keys.
Die Unter- oder Weitervermietung der überlassenen VilaLila sowie deren Nutzung zu anderen als Wohnzwecken ist nicht gestattet. In the event of use of the villa in breach of contract, such as a transfer of the rental agreement that has not been agreed with the landlord, overcrowding, disturbance of the peace in the house, willful damage to the facility through improper use or modification, etc., the landlord is entitled to terminate the contract with immediate effect. In this case, the tenant is not entitled to a refund of the rental price and is liable for the damage incurred.
Smoking is not permitted in the villa or on the terraces of the bedrooms. Smoking is permitted on the ground floor terrace, roof terrace and garden area. An ashtray is to be used. The tenant is fully liable for damage caused by smoking (open flames, burn holes, dirt, etc.).
The villa has an alarm system. When leaving the house, all windows and doors must be closed and the alarm system activated.
If damage occurs (burglary or vandalism), made possible by the failure to activate the alarm system when leaving the house, the tenant is liable for any damage that occurs to the landlord’s property.
In the event of a burglary in the non-alarm-secured house, the landlord and the police must be notified immediately. The landlord or a person authorized by him has a right of access to the villa at any time, especially in the event of imminent danger. When exercising the right of access, appropriate consideration must be given to the interests of the guests that are worthy of protection. The landlord will inform the guest in advance about the exercise of the right of access, unless this is not reasonable or possible under the circumstances of the individual case.
§ 8 PETS
Small pets are allowed in the villa with the prior consent of the landlord.
If animals are accommodated without the prior consent of the landlord, the landlord can charge a cleaning fee of up to 200.00 euros (net) for the rental period in invoice.
§ 9 USE OF INTERNET ACCESS VIA WLAN
The landlord provides the tenant with an unlimited WiFi network free of charge for the duration of his stay. The landlord does not guarantee the actual availability, adequacy or reliability of the internet access for any purpose (see also § 6).
He is entitled at any time to restrict or switch off the WiFi access of the tenant in whole, in part or temporarily if the connection is or was used in an abusive manner, insofar as the landlord has to fear a claim and cannot prevent this with the usual and reasonable effort within a reasonable period of time can. In particular, the landlord reserves the right to block access to certain sites or services via the WLAN (e.g. sites that glorify violence, are pornographic or are subject to a fee) at any time and at his reasonable discretion. Use is by means of access security.
The tenant is advised that the WLAN only allows access to the Internet, virus protection and firewall are not available. The data traffic generated using the WLAN is unencrypted. The data can therefore possibly be viewed by third parties. The landlord expressly points out that there is a risk that malware (e.g. viruses and Trojans) can get onto the end device when using the WLAN. The use of the WLAN is at the tenant’s own risk. The lessor assumes no liability for damage to the lessee’s digital media caused by the use of internet access, unless the damage was caused intentionally or through gross negligence by the lessor and/or his vicarious agents.
The tenant indemnifies the landlord of the villa from all costs and claims for damages by third parties that are based on illegal use of the WLAN by the tenant and/or on a breach of this agreement. The exemption from liability also includes the costs and expenses associated with the claim or its defense. If the lessee recognizes or must recognize that such a violation of rights and/or such a violation has occurred or is imminent, he must inform the lessor directly of this circumstance.
§ 10 DATA PROTECTION
The tenant agrees that necessary data about his person will be stored, changed and/or deleted in the context of the rental property he temporarily uses. All personal data is treated with absolute confidentiality. Detailed information on the handling of personal data can be found on the website at the bottom under the “Privacy Policy” tab.
§ 11 SEVERABILITY CLAUSE
Should one or more provisions of these General Terms and Conditions become ineffective, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The ineffective provision is to be replaced by an effective one that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the ineffective provision.
