In the event of non-compliance with obligations to notify, the Customer shall not be entitled to any claims for damages for non-performance or improper performance;

7 Hand-over of the vehicle
7.1 The Customer shall hand over the vehicle to an AirParkOne employee by handing over the key at the corresponding departure or arrival terminal.
7.2 At the same time as the key is handed over, the Customer and AirParkOne staff record (i) any damage or defects to the Customer’s vehicle, (ii) special features of the vehicle, (iii) the vehicle’s mileage and (iv) additional services. This vehicle status report has evidentiary value.

In the case of non-obvious damage, the notification must be made in writing within 14 days of the discovery of the damage. If the Customer violates his obligation to notify, all claims for damages of the Customer are excluded, unless the Customer is not responsible for the delay. These duties to notify as well as the limitation period shall not apply if the Customer or his fellow travellers have suffered personal injury or if AirParkOne has caused any other damage by gross negligence or intent. Otherwise, the duty of notification and the limitation period shall apply to both contractual and statutory claims.

8.3.2 for damage resulting from acts of courtesy (start-up assistance, parking assistance) of its employees and/or agents. In this case, a legal relationship is not formed with AirParkOne;
8.3.3 damage to and destruction of vehicles, including their contents and loads, which have been caused by acts of third parties; this also applies to the theft and loss of motor vehicles, vehicle parts, vehicle contents (e. g. car radios, car telephones, personal valuables, computers, photographic equipment, sports equipment and similar objects) and vehicle loads;

9.1 The Customer shall be liable for damage to the legal interests of AirParkOne or third parties on premises of AirParkOne caused by the Customer himself either intentionally or negligently.
9.2 Irrespective of fault, the Customer shall be liable for all damage to the vehicle due to technical defects (e. g. loss of oil, explosion) on the AirParkOne Parking Facilities caused by the Customer himself, his employees, his agents or his accompanying persons (family members) or by a third party contracted by him. This also applies if such defects have not been included in the vehicle status report or were previously unknown. The Customer shall assign his own claims against third parties or insurance undertakings from a damage event in advance to AirParkOne, insofar as AirParkOne is held liable for such an event.
9.3 The Customer is entitled to prove that no damage or lesser damage than that claimed was caused.
10 Measures to be taken in the event of a breach of Contract by the Customer
10.1 AirParkOne may refuse parking of the vehicle on the company premises if there are indications that driving on the premises or parking on the premises may pose a risk to the operational safety of AirParkOne.
10.2 Where the contractually booked parking time is exceeded for reasons for which the Customer is not responsible, and where the contractually owed service is withheld from another Customer (this includes, in particular, exceeding the parking time as a result of an air traffic controller strike, pilot strike, cancellation of flights or flight delays), AirParkOne is entitled to move or tow away the vehicle as a last resort if less severe means are not at its disposal. The costs of these measures shall be borne by the Customer. Clause 9.3 applies accordingly.
10.3 The provision in 10.2 in conjunction with 9.3. shall apply mutatis mutandis to an overrun of the parking period for which the Customer is responsible, on condition that, in addition to the right to move the vehicle if less severe means are unavailable and the Customer is obliged to reimburse the costs of appropriate measures, the Customer must pay compensation which is to be paid based on the typical and advertised tariffs for the respective parking facility.
11 Lien and right of retention
11.1 Insofar as AirParkOne has duly offered or provided its contractual services and the Customer is not entitled to any contractual or statutory right of retention or set-off, AirParkOne may refuse to hand over the parked vehicle without prior full payment of the invoice price.
