HOUSE RULESHouse Rules for Use of the Bathing Facilities of the THERMEN & BADEWELT SINSHEIM

2 3

By entering the facilities covered by the House Rules for use of the bathing facilities, users, guests, accompanying persons as well as other visitors and others persons authorised to enter the facilities acknowledge the validity of the House Rules and usage regulations of the THERMEN & BADEWELT SINSHEIM. Entry to the facilities is granted upon payment of the admission fee and the distribution of a transponder. Transponders are storage media. They permit services to be recorded, especially for food and beverages.

If the use of the facilities is based a contract entered into with Badewelt Sinsheim GmbH, such as a commercial lease agreement, work contract or the like – subject to individual contractual arran-gements – compliance with the following rules shall be assured. The contractual users mentioned above agree to inform their employees and other persons whom they engage to fulfil the contract of the House Rules and their applicability and to require them to be responsible for compliance with these rules.

If the facilities are used for a school event, such as swimming lessons, school sports or a club event, then the school director or the management of the association will require all students and/or all event participants as well as other accompanying parties to be responsible for compliance with these House Rules.

§1 Subject Matter

1. Badewelt Sinsheim GmbH (hereinafter called ‘BSG’) has the right to enforce the House Rules and supervisory regulations throughout the entire area of the THERMEN & BADEWELT SINSHEIM, inclu-ding all local buildings, outdoor areas, the natural lake, entries and exits as well as parking facilities (hereinafter called ‘facilities’).

2. The House Rules apply to all persons who, for whatever reason, are at the facilities.

3. BSG is entitled to make use of its domiciliary rights if there is a violation of the House Rules or if the domiciliary rights of BSG are violated in another manner.

4. The regulations and conditions in effect for the facilities, especially those established by the ope-rator, are also binding in their current version.

3. A stay is only permitted during the opening hours of the buildings, parts of buildings or access areas as determined by the admission fee or identification badge. In the event of misuse or unau-thorised transfer of tickets, vouchers, transponders or other identity documents, these may be con-fiscated without replacement by BSG or the relevant organiser or their representatives. Further rights of BSG to a ban on entering the facilities remain unaffected.

4. The making of photo, audio, video or other media recordings in the buildings of the facilities and adjacent outdoor areas, including the natural lake, is prohibited to all guests as well as their accom-panying persons and other visitors and users without the written prior consent of BSG.

5. BSG is opposed to any racist, violent, anti-Semitic, nationalist, xenophobic, sexist as well as right and/or left-wing extremist tendencies of all kinds, including political agitation and expression. Therefore, BSG reserves the right to make use of its domiciliary rights and to ban from entering the facilities – even in advance – any individuals who (a) belong to left and/or right-wing parties, associ-ations or organisations, and/or (b) are clearly identifiable as belonging to the left and/or right scene, and/or (c) in the past have participated in racist, nationalist, anti-Semitic, discriminatory, violent, defamatory or other inhumane expressions.

For this reason, BSG specifically prohibits:

a) any clothing, flags, banners, badges or similar items to be worn or carried if they contain messa-ges intended to defame people because of skin colour, religion, national origin, gender or sexual orientation or if they display symbols that are unconstitutional or are recognised as belonging to the extreme right or xenophobic tendencies; the same applies for visible writing of this kind on the body.

b) wearing or carrying garments for which the manufacturer, distributor or target group is recognised as belonging to right-wing extremist or xenophobic tendencies.

c) bringing onto the premises propaganda materials of a racist, xenophobic nature that incites violen-ce or is of a discriminatory nature, whether of the extreme right or left.

d) showing or uttering expressions, gestures or slogans that are intended by their nature or content to discriminate against individuals because of their skin colour, religion, national origin, gender or sexual orientation.

6. a. Business hours are determined by BSG and will be posted in the lobby. The facilities may be used by guests and their companions only during these business hours. Bathing hours will depend on the fees paid. If the usage period paid for is exceeded, a cash payment must be made to cover this. The closing times of the facilities refer to the time of departure from the building. Bathing hours in the Palm Paradise, the Vitaltherme & Sauna and the swimming pool will end 20 minutes before closing, that means that at this time these areas are to be left for the changing rooms. The final ad-mission will be 1½ hours before the end of bathing hours.

b. The use of the facilities outside business hours or contractually agreed use or lease times requires the written consent of BSG.

House Rules

c. BSG reserves the right to close the facilities temporarily for the purpose of maintenance and repair work or for other events. Contractual users of the facilities must follow the contractual rules in this context. Entering the facilities during this period will be prohibited.

d. If use of sections of the facilities is restricted due to film and/or sound recordings, events, courses and the like, guests and their accompanying persons tare not entitled to a refund or a reduction of the admission fee. BSG has the right at any time to limit in whole or in part the use of the facilities and the services offered, such as in the event of operational malfunctions, refurbishing or renova-tions. Claims against BSG on these grounds are excluded.

e. Tickets already purchased, vouchers, ThermenCard and time credits may not be returned and may not be refunded. For vouchers that are lost or are not honoured, no compensation will be paid nor money refunded. Change given must be verified immediately. Subsequent complaints will not be accepted. When purchasing a ThermenCard (cash card), a deposit of 10 euros will be charged, which will be refunded upon return of the card. In the event of loss, ThermenCards will be replaced exclusi-vely to the cardholder and only on presentation of an ID card and proof of purchase as well as payment of a processing fee of 15 euros (10 euros deposit for a new ThermenCard + 5 euros for processing). A representative of the cardholder is excluded.

7. Individuals who violate any of the provisions of §5 will be denied access to the facilities or escor-ted off the premises. They will forfeit any existing right to a refund of the admission fee as well as to payment of any claims for damages. BSG reserves all other rights, including a ban on entering the facilities.

§6 Time spent at the bathing facilities and use of specific facility areas

1. Staying and bathing in the entire facility

a. The purchase of an admission ticket does not guarantee a place to sit or lie down. Reserving seats and areas to lie down is prohibited, particularly by placing towels, bags, or other items on them. Areas for sitting or reclining that are reserved for other guest or that are made permanently unusab-le in any other way may be made available by BSG at any time. At its own discretion, BSG may thus remove the item used for a reservation of areas for sitting or reclining and move it to or place it for example in a nearby area.

b. Each visitor must be aware of the increased risk in bathing areas of accidents caused by wet floor surfaces. Therefore, running, jumping and bouncing around are prohibited in the entire bathing and sauna area. All guests and other visitors are encouraged to wear slip-proof bathing shoes outside the pools for their own safety.

c. Changing rooms must always be used by only one person. The use of changing rooms by more than one person is thus strictly prohibited. Infants under the age of 10 are allowed to use changing rooms only if accompanied by their parents. If more than one person uses a changing room, the inspection, security and administrative staff of BSG are directed and authorised to inspect the changing rooms. Inspection of the changing rooms serves the purpose of preventing or stopping misconduct for the

The use of diving boards is at your own risk and only allowed at the designated times. Sitting on the diving platforms, as well as on the stairs and ladders leading to the diving platforms, is strictly for-bidden due to the risk of accidents. Before diving, care must be taken to make sure the diving area is clear. The diving area must be vacated immediately after diving. Remaining in the diving area for swimming or snorkelling is prohibited and is extremely dangerous. Also, swimming beneath the diving platforms is prohibited. Depending on the crowd volume, the lifeguard (guest supervisor) will decide whether or not to allow the diving facilities to be used. The diving boards may be used by only by one person at a time. Others waiting to use the diving boards should wait until the previous per-son has finished diving. Use of diving boards is always at your own risk. The duty of BSG to maintain safety of the premises is unaffected.

c. Use of the toddlers’ pool

Use of the toddlers’ pool and attractions in and around this pool as well as playground equipment is at your own risk and is only allowed for children 6 years of age and under. For hygienic reasons, swimwear must be worn in this pool. In the toddlers’ pool, parents are solely responsible for supervi-sion. The instructions of the guest supervisor must also be followed without exception.

3. Persons who violate any provisions of section 6 will not be permitted to continue using the facili-ties or will be escorted off the premises. They will forfeit any existing right to a refund of the admissi-on fee as well as to payment of any claims for damages. BSG reserves all other rights including a ban on entering the facilities.

§7 Admission and other access controls

1. All persons entering the facilities will be required to show, without being asked, their admission transponder or other identification to BSG, the inspection, security and administrative staff, or offici-als of the Police and other regulatory authorities, and if requested to allow their identification to be checked. Persons using the facilities will be required to furnish identification if requested to do so by inspection, security and administrative staff or officials of the Police or other regulatory authorities. No reason need be given for this requirement.

People who are unable to furnish identification will be escorted from the premises by inspection, security and administrative staff or by officials of the police or other regulatory authorities.

2. All persons at or in the facilities who in BSG‘s opinion or in the opinion of the security services used by BSG (= all inspection, security and administrative staff) or in the opinion of officials of the Police or other regulatory authorities are under suspicion based on their behaviour or other evidence that:

a. they are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs,

b. they are carrying weapons or dangerous objects within the meaning of §5 of the Firearms Act or any other by items prohibited by the House Rules,

c. they have violated the privacy other persons or have injured them,

House Rules

purposes of the House Rules and protection of life, limb and property. For the inspection of changing rooms, suspected misconduct and/or a suspected risk is sufficient. This will be determined solely at discretion of BSG. Inspection of the changing rooms involves in particular a view from the outside of the room of the foot and lower leg area in the interior of the room, listening to the interior of the room, and opening of the room by individuals inside the changing room. If despite a request the changing room is not opened, BSG and the services mentioned above may open the changing room – even by using force and/or by technical means.

d. Before entering the Palm Paradise, the Vitaltherme & Sauna and the swimming pool, each guest is required to wash thoroughly after changing and before entering these areas by taking a full-body shower using a body cleanser. Soap or other body cleansers and creams may not be used outside the shower facilities.

e. Ventilation shafts at the window facings are to be kept free of objects of any type and size, especi-ally bags and towels.

f. In order to maintain a quiet atmosphere for the guests of the facility and other visitors, everyone is requested to avoid making noise, especially in the Palm Paradise and in the Vitaltherme & Sauna.

2. Use of certain areas of the facilities

a. Palm Paradise and Vitaltherme & Sauna

Admission to the Palm Paradise and the Vitaltherme & Sauna is permitted only to those 16 and abo-ve. On Family Saturday, children and teenagers under 16 years may be admitted to the Palm Paradise. Small children up to the age of four may visit the Palm Paradise under permanent supervision of their parents. Admission to the Vitaltherme & Sauna for small children is prohibited.

The Vitaltherme & Sauna is a clothes-free zone. This area, however, is not considered an establish-ment for nudism. After finishing with the sauna, including the necessary cooling-off period, a bathro-be or a towel must be put on. This also applies to food-service areas. Before using the sauna facili-ties, guests must thoroughly wash and dry off. For reasons of hygiene, sufficiently large bath towels and beach towels should be used in the saunas in order to avoid soiling the seating areas. Personal infusion agents are not allowed and should not be used. Infusions will be made by trained BSG staff members. As part of the guest programme, a variety of body scrubs and beauty masks will be distri-buted to guests by BSG staff. All guests should take into account personal compatibility when accept-ing the products or services dispensed. For these additional services, including infusions, no liability is accepted for any skin irritation that might result. This disclaimer also applies to any soiling of cloth materials that might be caused. Customarily, there are special conditions in saunas and other hot rooms, such as a higher room temperature, low lighting, tiered seating and a variety of heat sources. These require guests to be extra careful and exercise caution. There is also a disclaimer of liability for the use of health pools containing brine, selenium and calcium/lithium. BSG assumes no liability for any skin irritation or impurities or discoloration of cloth materials.

b. Use of diving boards in the swimming pool

d. they have engaged in personal injury, a threat, an insult, damage to property, theft, or have com-mitted or are committing fraud,

e. they perform sexual acts with themselves or others or have done so with themselves or others,intend to do so or have or intend to allow others to do so,

f. they are a danger to the health of others due to a contagious disease, as defined in the Federal Law on Infectious Diseases, due to an intrinsic infestation of pests,

g. they threaten the security of the premises and/or fail to comply with these House Rules in any other way. If any of the above are suspected, BSG is entitled, using its inspection, security and administrative staff and/or officials of the Police or other regulatory authorities, both at the entry of the person to the facilities (= initial inspection) as well as after entry and during their stay at or in the facilities (= subsequent inspection) to search such persons as well as their clothing and belongings in order to clarify the situation, and to do this by using technical methods, and then to seize and con-fiscate any prohibited items. Searches may also be made for items that suspicious persons carry into the changing rooms and/or place in lockers. Alcohol or drug consumption may also be determined. To determine a possibly existing ban on entering the facilities, identity documents may be checked.

Anyone who refuses to submit to a search will forfeit admission rights or be forbidden further use of the facilities. Admission ticket fees in such cases are non-refundable.

Inspection, security and administrative staff or law enforcement officers will keep confiscated items in a secure place and return them to legitimate owners if requested to do so. Guests, visitors or users who refuse to surrender the items referred to in §8 will be refused admission with no refund of the admission fee and will be prohibited from further use of the facilities. In such cases, admission fees will be non-refundable.

3. Guests, accompanying persons, users and/or any other visitors will be denied admission to the facilities or prohibited from further use especially if they

a. are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs or if this appears to BSG to be the case,

b. are carrying weapons or other dangerous items,

c. are suspected of having of an infectious disease according to the Federal Law on Infectious Disea-ses or have a similar dangerous disease,

d. in the view of BSG they are in need of assistance because of severe physical and/or mental disabi-lities and wish to use the facilities without the assistance of a chaperone of age,

f. are children under 10 years of age who wish to use to the facilities unaccompanied by their parents,

g. are children 10 to 12 years old who wish to use the Palm Paradise area without the written consent of one of their parents.

Any of the above reasons is sufficient to bar admission to the facilities. Further rights of BSG remain unaffected

4. The inspection, security and administrative staff of BSG as well as the Police are entitled to detain and search individuals – even by using technical means – to determine whether they are in compli-ance with the prohibitions of §7 of the House Rules and/or whether or not they pose a security risk due to alcohol or drug use or because they are carrying weapons or dangerous or flammable items. The search will in particular cover upper and lower apparel, footwear, belongings (such as bags) as well as changing rooms and lockers that have been used.

5. In and on the premises, BSG may inspect individual persons and bags by using monitoring sys-tems and technical means, in particular metal detectors and body scanners in the access area. Such inspection may also be carried out several times. Searching an individual covers especially upper and lower clothing, footwear, as well as any belongings such as backpacks and containers of any type or size. These security inspections will determine whether a person has prohibited items on their person, as explained in §8 of the House Rules. If metal detectors are used, the individual invol-ved must inform the staff at the inspection site in advance as to whether they are pregnant, have a pacemaker, etc.

6. For any breach of a prohibition of §8 of the House Rules and/or §9 of the House Rules, the offen-der shall be liable, while waiving the objection of the continuation of offence, to pay BSG a contrac-tual penalty in the amount of up to €2,500 (in words two thousand five hundred euros), which will be determined and fixed according to principles of proportionality. In this case, the offender is entitled to have the amount of the contractual penalty reviewed by the local court and the court competent for the domicile of BSG.

§11 Use of the facilities

1. The facilities may be used only in the context of the activities arising from contractual agreements with the operator, tenants and other users.

In the case of loss, failure to comply with these requirements will be regarded as the fault of the guests. In the event of a dispute, the burden of proof for maintaining the aforementioned proper care is the res-ponsibility of guests.
