A refundable security deposit of EUR 100 is required to rent the holiday cottage; it is paid in advance together with the balance and refunded 7–10 days after departure, provided no claim is made (see section 5 of these terms and conditions).

Energy costs are also included in the total price.
12. Provision of the landlord’s bank details
These will be sent to you on booking so that you can make the necessary payments to the account specified.

These are needed to refund the security deposit you have paid after the end of the tenancy.
See section 10 of these terms and conditions.
14. Liability
The listing has been prepared to the best of our knowledge. No liability is accepted for any impact on the rental property caused by force majeure, by power and water outages customary in the country, or by severe weather. Likewise, no liability is accepted in the event of unforeseeable or unavoidable circumstances, such as official orders or sudden construction work, or for disruptions caused by natural and local conditions. However, the landlord will gladly help to resolve any problems (as far as possible). The landlord accepts no liability for the use of the canoes and the sauna provided. The tenant travels to and from the property on their own responsibility and at their own risk. The landlord is not liable for personal belongings in the event of theft or fire. The tenant is fully liable for wilful destruction or damage.

This also applies to any amendment of the preceding sentence.
