  4. If the operational readiness of the kitesurfing material is no longer guaranteed by ignoring the instruction of the instructor or by negligent or even intentional behavior of the participant/renter, there is no entitlement to damages on the part of the participant/renter for the time lost due to the fact-finding and fault clearance.
