Document background
The Snow Removal Contract is essential for property owners and managers in Austria to ensure compliance with legal obligations for winter property maintenance. This document is typically used when engaging professional snow removal services for commercial, residential, or mixed-use properties. It incorporates requirements from the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB), Property Maintenance Act (Hausbesorgergesetz), and local municipal regulations regarding snow removal timing and methods. The contract specifies service standards, response times, liability allocation, and insurance requirements, while addressing environmental considerations for de-icing materials. It's particularly important given Austria's strict property owner obligations for maintaining safe conditions during winter months and the potential liability implications of insufficient snow removal.
