Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Innkeep­ers and hoteliers who provide ac­com­mod­a­tion for per­sons not known to them are li­able for any dam­age, de­struc­tion or mis­ap­pro­pri­ation of per­son­al ef­fects brought onto the premises by their guests un­less they can prove that such dam­age is at­trib­ut­able to the guest him­self or to his vis­it­ors, com­pan­ions or staff or to force ma­jeure or to the nature of the ob­jects in ques­tion.

² However, the li­ab­il­ity for per­son­al ef­fects brought onto the premises by guests is sub­ject to an up­per lim­it of 1,000 francs for each guest where no fault can be ascribed to the innkeep­er or hoteli­er or his staff.
