(1)
A hotel-keeper is liable as a storer for any damage to, or destruction or loss of, a thing brought to the hotel by any guest who stays at the hotel and has sleeping accommodation there.
(2)
For the purposes of paragraph (1) a thing is regarded as brought to the hotel:
- (a)
if it is at the hotel during the time when the guest has the use of sleeping accommodation there;
- (b)
if the hotel-keeper or a person for whose actions the hotel-keeper is responsible takes charge of it outside the hotel during the period for which the guest has the use of the sleeping accommodation at the hotel; or
- (c)
if the hotel-keeper or a person for whose actions the hotel-keeper is responsible takes charge of it whether at the hotel or outside it during a reasonable period preceding or following the time when the guest has the use of sleeping accommodation at the hotel.
(3)
The hotel-keeper is not liable in so far as the damage, destruction or loss is caused by:
- (a)
a guest or any person accompanying, employed by or visiting the guest;
- (b)
an impediment beyond the hotel-keepers control; or
- (c)
the nature of the thing.
(4)
A term excluding or limiting the liability of the hotel-keeper is unfair for the purposes of Book II, Chapter 9, Section 4 if it excludes or limits liability in a case where the hotel-keeper, or a person for whose actions the hotel-keeper is responsible, causes the damage, destruction or loss intentionally or by way of grossly negligent conduct.
(5)
Except where the damage, destruction or loss is caused intentionally or by way of grossly negligent conduct of the hotel-keeper or a person for whose actions the hotel-keeper is responsible, the guest is required to inform the hotel-keeper of the damage, destruction or loss without undue delay. If the guest fails to inform the hotel-keeper without undue delay, the hotel-keeper is not liable.
(6)
The hotel-keeper has the right to withhold any thing referred to in paragraph (1) until the guest has satisfied any right the hotel-keeper has against the guest with respect to accommodation, food, drink and solicited services performed for the guest in the hotel-keeper's professional capacity.
(7)
This Article does not apply if and to the extent that a separate storage contract is concluded between the hotel-keeper and any guest for any thing brought to the hotel. A separate storage contract is concluded if a thing is handed over for storage to, and accepted for storage by, the hotel-keeper.
