4. Domestic chargers are not permitted at the Aparthotel

4.2 Domestic chargers are, under no circumstances, permitted to be used at the Aparthotel and will create a fire hazard and may invalidate our Aparthotel insurance. The use of domestic chargers is strictly forbidden.

4.4 In the event that you, Booking Party, or any Permitted Visitor are found to be using a domestic charger (commonly known as a ‘granny charger’ or a ‘trickle charger’) in the Aparthotel, despite the strict prohibition as stated in clause 4.2, such action will be considered a serious breach of these terms.
4.5 Upon confirmation of such unauthorised use, the Booking will be subject to immediate cancellation. This cancellation will be enforced without a refund of any amounts previously paid.

It is the user’s sole responsibility to supply a suitable charging cable to use the DCP, unless provided by us (and specified on the Website or in the Booking Confirmation).

5.6 We do not guarantee the availability of a DCP and unavailability of the DCP shall not constitute a breach of the Booking Terms and Conditions. Information regarding the nearest public charging points will be made available where possible. We do not accept liability for any consequence arising from the failure of the EV to charge.
5.7 Authorisation for your use of a DCP during the Booking must be obtained prior to Booking in writing by us and will typically be provided in the Booking Confirmation. We reserve the right to withdraw this authority at any time and for any reason.
5.8 Use of the DCP is at the risk of the User, we do not accept any liability for loss or damage sustained by the user or their EV as a result of using the DCP unless the damage was caused directly by our negligence.
