The current business and/or transport conditions can be viewed through the partners. The partners reserve the right to change the service periods, the range of services, the service periods, opening times, and prices at any time.

§ 4 offers, conclusion of contract, performance, and delivery obligation

(1) The presentation of the products is a non-binding internet / online shop catalog and is not a legally binding offer. By clicking on the “Buy” and/or “Complete order subject to payment” buttons, you place a binding order for the tickets in the shopping cart. After receipt of the order, you will receive an acknowledgment of receipt. This confirmation of receipt does not constitute acceptance of the contract by the publisher. The order is accepted by the publisher by means of a separate confirmation, which is sent to the email address you provided when ordering.

The customer is responsible for the correctness of the email address provided by him. He has to ensure that the email address is correct, that the order can be processed, and that corresponding emails are received. Even if the appropriate spam filter is used, it must be ensured that e-mails from the publisher can be received.

Order processing and contacting are automated via email. The order data is stored for this purpose and can be requested by specifying the booking number under the aforementioned email address. The order data include the contract text together with the terms and conditions. The order data is transmitted to the customer in text form by email.

Depending on the type of ticket (hard ticket or online), tariff, and validity, the following information is required when ordering:

a) Online ticket: Date of the first use of the service (and the time for the hourly versions) and the name of the authorized user

b) Hard ticket: no further information required.

If you make no selection in case a), the current date on the ticket is systematically generated. All information is binding and cannot be changed after purchase.

A maximum of 10 tickets can be ordered in one process.

The publisher remains the owner until the ticket has been paid for in full. Use by the customer before full payment is prohibited (reserved goods). If the retention of the title expires due to the processing of the reservation tickets, the customer is already transferring the joint ownership of the “new” item created by the processing and connection to the publisher. The handover is replaced by the customer keeping the new item created by the connection free of charge for the publisher.

(2) In the case of orders and purchase of hard tickets via the online shop, they will be sent to the customer by post and entitle the customer to immediately use the service.

Online tickets/download articles are delivered by email. The delivery of hard tickets is carried out regularly by post (delivery) to the delivery address specified by the customer upon delivery of an acknowledgment of receipt. It is not possible to collect ordered hard tickets yourself.

Delivery by post takes place in Germany within 5 days (standard DHL shipping), in other European countries within 5-10 days, and in non-European countries within 10-14 days. No deliveries of goods take place on Sundays and public holidays.

If the customer or a person authorized to receive the delivery address is not found, the publisher is entitled to hand over the delivery of goods to a replacement recipient. In particular, other persons present in the customer’s household or at the delivery address mentioned may be considered as replacement recipients. If the consignment is handed over to a neighbor of the customer, the cancellation period begins in accordance with § 5 of these terms and conditions, however, only when the customer accepts the shipment.

If delivery of the goods to the delivery address specified by the customer is not possible, the customer bears the costs of the unsuccessful delivery. This does not apply if the customer is a consumer and it was impossible to accept the goods for reasons for which the customer or the person authorized to receive the goods was not responsible.

The customer is not obliged to pay compensation if delivery is made significantly more difficult or impossible due to force majeure or other events and the publisher is not responsible for this. Such events include in particular: fire, flood, industrial dispute, business disruptions, strikes, and official orders that are not attributable to the publisher’s operational risk. In the cases mentioned, the customer will be informed immediately of the lack of delivery options and any service already rendered will be refunded immediately.

Partial deliveries are permitted if the customer is clearly not interested in them or if they are clearly not reasonable. If the publisher makes use of this right, packaging and shipping costs will only be charged once.

The publisher reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the event of improper delivery by its own suppliers. The publisher will make every reasonable effort to procure the goods. In the event of unavailability or only partial availability of the goods, the customer will be informed immediately and any consideration rendered will be refunded immediately.
