ANEKS

1. člen

Vsako premoženje:

(a)

ki je v hotelu v času, ko je gost v njem nastanjen;

(b)

za katero skrbi hotelir ali oseba, za katero je on odgovoren, zunaj hotela v času, ko je gost v hotelu nastanjen; ali

(c)

za katero skrbi hotelir ali oseba, za katero je on odgovoren, v hotelu ali zunaj hotela v razumnem času pred tem, ko je gost nastanjen v hotelu, ali po tem, ko je bil gost nastanjen v hotelu;

se šteje za premoženje, prineseno v hotel.

Odgovornost se omeji na 3.000 zlatih frankov.

Odgovornost hotelirja je neomejena:

če je premoženje deponirano pri njem;

(b)

če noče sprejeti premoženja, ki bi ga moral sprejeti v hrambo v sefu.

Hotelir mora sprejeti vrednostne papirje, denar in vredne predmete. Zavrne lahko sprejem takega premoženja, če je nevarno ali če pomeni glede na velikost ali lego hotela čezmerno vrednost ali če zahteva velik prostor.

(b)

zaradi nepredvidljivega in nepremagljivega učinka narave ali vojne;

(c)

zaradi narave predmeta.

4. člen

Hotelir je odgovoren in njegova odgovornost ni omejena v skladu s tretjim odstavkom 1. člena tega aneksa, če pride do poškodbe, uničenja ali izgube zaradi namenoma storjenega dejanja ali opustitve ali malomarnosti hotelirja ali katerekoli osebe, za katere dejanja je odgovoren.

5. člen

Gost ne uživa prednosti iz teh določb, če brez nepotrebnega odlašanja takoj, ko ugotovi poškodbo, uničenje ali izgubo, o tem ne obvesti hotelirja, razen v primerih, za katere se uporablja 4. člen tega aneksa.

6. člen

Vsako obvestilo ali soglasje, ki izključuje ali zmanjšuje odgovornost hotelirja, dano pred poškodbo, uničenjem ali izgubo, je neveljavno in nično.

IZJAVE IN PRIDRŽKI

Zvezna Republika Nemčija (Izpisek iz zapisnika o deponiranju ratifikacijske listine z dne 14. novembra 1966)

Prevod

Konvencija o odgovornosti hotelirjev za premoženje njihovih gostov se uporablja tudi za območje Berlina, in sicer od dneva, ko začne veljati v Zvezni republiki Nemčiji.

Nizozemska (Izjava, ki je v izvirniku konvencije)

Pooblaščenec, nizozemski minister za zunanje zadeve, podpisujem to konvencijo o odgovornosti hotelirjev za premoženje njihovih gostov in v imenu kraljičine vlade izjavljam, da besedi "mestno območje" iz prvega odstavka 3. člena konvencije pri uporabi za Kraljevino Nizozemsko nimata več prvotnega pomena, pač pa se šteje, da pomenita "evropsko ozemlje" zaradi enakosti, ki obstaja v javnem pravu med Nizozemsko, Surinamom in Nizozemskimi Antili.
