Insofar as the withdrawal is not due to the fault of the organiser or is a case of force majeure, the organiser can demand reasonable compensation for the travel arrangements made up to the point of withdrawal and his expenses in relation to the respective travel price. When calculating the compensation, usually saved expenses and usually possible alternative use of the event services are to be taken into account. You are at liberty to prove that no costs or significantly lower costs were incurred in connection with the cancellation or non-commencement of the trip than the costs shown by us in the flat rate (see 5.3).

However, the organiser undertakes to make every effort to obtain reimbursement of the expenses saved from the service providers.


7. changes or withdrawal by the organiser/
Cancellation of the event/trip due to force majeure / Covid-19

The organiser assumes that all tours will take place as usual. In the event that this is not possible, the organiser will cancel individual trips.
A cancellation occurs exactly when the responsible authorities prohibit the hosting, a travel ban or an official travel warning for the affected region is given.

In this particular case, the organiser shall immediately refund the entire participant price paid without any deductions.

The organiser can terminate the contract without notice if the participant persistently disrupts the implementation of the trip despite a warning by the organiser or if he/she behaves contrary to the contract to such an extent that the immediate cancellation of the contract is justified. If the organiser cancels the contract, the organiser retains the claim to the participation fee minus the value of the saved expenses as well as the saved advantages resulting from an alternative use of the services not used. 

The hotelier/owner/operator of the booked accommodation/sports facility may ban the customer from the premises at any time for good cause. The customer is obliged to inform the organiser immediately by e-mail of a house ban.

 

8. obligations of the client(s)

  1. If the customer has not received the required travel documents (e.g. e-ticket vouchers, hotel vouchers) by seven days before the start of the trip despite having paid the travel price on time, he/she must inform the organiser immediately. This applies with the exception of short-term bookings.
  2. The traveller is obliged to notify the organiser immediately of any defects and to demand a remedy. This is the duty of the customer. If the traveller culpably fails to report the defect, he/she has no right to a reduction of the tour price. The tour operator must provide a remedy if this is possible and the circumstances allow it.
  3. Luggage delays and damage are to be clarified directly on site with the associated airline. The organiser can only intervene in a supportive capacity.

     

9 Liability, Exclusion of Claims and Limitation of Actions

  1. The contractual liability for damages that are not bodily injuries is limited to three times the participant price (per person), insofar as damage to the participant is neither 

was caused intentionally or by gross negligence or we are responsible for a loss incurred by the participant solely due to the fault of a service provider. Legal provisions limiting or excluding liability based on international conventions, which may be invoked by a service provider engaged by us, shall also apply in our favour. For all claims for damages in tort against the organiser that are not based on intent or gross negligence, liability for property damage is limited to the amount of three times the participant price (per person and event). 

  1. The organiser is not liable for service disruptions, personal injury and material damage in connection with external services that are merely arranged and expressly identified as such in the advertisement (e.g. excursions; tours, visits to parks and other leisure facilities).
  2. The customer has the obligation to handle borrowed equipment of all kinds with care. Should damage occur, the organiser is not liable. In this case, the client must replace the equipment in the same quality or bear the costs for a new purchase himself/herself.

  4. Participation in sports and other leisure activities is the responsibility of the participants and fellow travellers.

  5. Each participant/co-traveller is obliged to cooperate within the framework of the legal provisions to avoid or minimise any damage in the event of disruptions to services. Defects and disruptions are to be reported to the staff immediately, the organiser recommends the written form.

After expiry of the deadline, you can only assert claims if you were prevented from complying with the deadline through no fault of your own. Your claims arising from this contract are subject to a limitation period of one year, expressly deviating from the statutory regulation. The limitation period begins on the day on which the event should end according to the contract.

     

10. passport, visa and health requirements

  1. The Tour Operator shall inform nationals of a state of the European Union in which the tour is offered about the legal situation and provisions of passport, visa and health regulations before conclusion of the contract and about any changes to these before the start of the tour. For nationals of other countries, the relevant consulate will provide information. The organiser does not take into account special circumstances such as dual citizenship, statelessness or others.
  2. The traveller is responsible for complying with all regulations that are important for the implementation of the trip. All disadvantages resulting from non-compliance with these regulations shall be borne by him/her, except if they are caused by culpably incorrect information provided by the tour operator. If entry regulations of individual countries are not complied with by the traveller, or if a visa is not issued in time by the diplomatic representation through the fault of the traveller, so that the traveller is therefore prevented from taking part in the trip, the tour operator is not liable.

     

11 Ineffectiveness of individual provisions

The invalidity of individual provisions does not justify the invalidity of the rest of the travel contract.

 

12. information requirements on the identity of the operating air carrier

If the operating airline is not yet known at the time of booking, the organiser shall inform the customer of the airline or airlines likely to operate the flight. As soon as the organiser knows which airline will operate the flight, the customer will be informed by the organiser. If the airline named to the customer as operating the flight changes, the organiser shall inform the customer of this change. The organiser shall immediately take all reasonable steps to ensure that the customer is informed of the change as soon as possible.
  2. The organiser is prohibited from offering the customer flights with airlines that are subject to an EU operating ban.
