4. purchase of the entrance tickets or the event band:

a.) With the purchase of the admission ticket, the purchaser has entered into the contractual relationship described above with the organizer of the respective hiking event. The admission ticket, which is designed as a ticket, can be purchased in advance by ordering it on the Internet and then sending it to the organizer or - depending on availability - directly at the event.

b.) For the purchase of this ticket, the prices shown by the organizer of the event apply, which also include sales tax and other legal charges in the prescribed amount.

c.) After receipt of the ticket, the purchaser is still permitted to pass it on to third parties. This, however, only with the transfer of the rights and obligations arising from the present General Terms and Conditions and the relevant contractual and legal provisions described above.

d.) Together with the admission ticket, the purchaser will receive a colored event wristband to be worn at the corresponding admission point, which only entitles the purchaser to consume the services of the respective hiking event. The right to attend the event and to consume the offered services free of charge or at a reduced price is proven by wearing the event wristband.

e.) The transferability of the event wristband to another person is excluded from the moment the event wristband is permanently attached around one of the two wrists. The organizer reserves the right to check the access authorization, i.e. the wearing of the event wristband, and to deny access to the event or exclude the visitor from the event if the access authorization is missing.

f.) The control takes place by checking the condition of the event band, which can be used to determine whether the event band has been used for the first time or several times. In any case, the event band must be worn on a wrist until the end of the event.

5. behavior during the event:

a.) The visitors of the event have to follow the instructions of employees of the organizer. The visitor is liable for all damages caused by his own negligence to the property of the organizer or the individual service providers.

b.) After a one-time reprimand by the Organizer's staff, the Event Visitors may exclude the Event Visitors from consuming free and discounted services provided by the Service Providers, without refunding the entrance fee, if the Visitor

• disturbs, harasses or threatens another visitor of the event during the event
• the visitor persistently disobeys the instructions of the staff
• behaves in such an inappropriate manner that it is detrimental to the reputation of the event organizer (heavy drinking, etc.)
• does not comply with the regulations of the respective venue.

6. change of the program:

a.) The organizer has the right to change the framework program of the respective walk or the locations of the refreshment stations, as well as to change individual showmen and service providers, provided that this does not essentially change the character of the event or eliminate it altogether.

b.) The change of the program as well as the individual service providers is also possible without prior announcement on the Internet or through print media or other advertising media.

7. Cancellation of the Event/Refund Claim:

a.) The Wörthersee Hiking Events basically take place in any weather. However, the organizer reserves the right of total cancellation if the event appears to be impracticable due to weather conditions. Weather-related cancellation is required if the event appears to be impracticable for its entire planned duration as a result of heavy thunderstorms, heavy snowfall or hail, or heavy gusts of wind or other inclement weather. In case of such a total cancellation, the visitors are entitled to a refund with regard to the payment of the entrance fee.

b.) If the visitor has purchased the ticket via an advance booking platform, in the event of a total cancellation of the event, the reversal of the transaction shall in principle also only take place via this advance booking platform and the visitor shall be referred exclusively to the advance booking platform for the assertion of his refund claims.

c.) It is also possible for the organizer to cancel the event on individual days only or to cancel the event that has already begun in the event of massive weather-related circumstances. If the event starts at the scheduled time and is subsequently cancelled or interrupted on individual days, the visitor shall not be entitled to a refund of the ticket price.

d.) In the event of a total cancellation due to force majeure other than the weather conditions described above, the organizer shall not be entitled to refund the entrance fee to the visitor.

e.) The organizer may cancel the event in whole or in part for reasons for which he is responsible up to a maximum of two weeks before the event, whereby the visitor who has ordered an admission ticket in advance must be informed of this or a corresponding message must be posted on the Internet forums. Total cancellations within the two-week period before the event are only possible due to the above-mentioned weather-related circumstances. In both cases, the visitor is entitled to a refund of the entrance fee.

f.) In case of loss of tickets, any claims for return, enrichment and other claims of the visitor against the organizer are excluded in any case.

8. compensation for damages:

a.) Claims for damages of any kind of the visitor against the organizer are excluded, as far as the organizer, his legal representatives or also his vicarious agents have not acted intentionally or grossly negligent and no essential contractual obligations have been violated. A liability of the organizer for the services rendered by the service providers as well as in case of self-infliction by the visitor is excluded in any case.

b.) Likewise, liability of the organizer is excluded if it was not possible for him to avoid the damage due to the circumstances. Any justified claims for damages by the visitor against the organizer shall be limited to the positive damage and shall in no case concern damages in the area of lost profit.

c.) Under no circumstances is the organizer liable for damaged, lost, stolen or worthless objects.

9. media representation:

a.) The holder of an admission ticket or the event tape valid as admission authorization expressly agrees, without demanding any remuneration for this from the organizer, that images of him taken in the course of the event may be reproduced, used for advertising purposes or used in audiovisual media.

b.) The visitor thus authorizes the organizer to use the photographs taken of him/her, even if an identity is clearly recognizable, without demanding compensation for this. This applies only to photographs and other pictorial representations taken within the time frame of the event and during consumption of the services offered.

c.) Pictures taken outside the time frame of the event may not be used on the part of the organizer and the publication in the various media may be prohibited on the part of the visitor even if compensation is claimed.

10. Other provisions:

a.) Should any provision of the GTC be wholly or partially invalid or lose its legal effect at a later date, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In place of the invalid provisions, another appropriate provision shall apply - insofar as this is legally permissible - which comes as close as possible in economic terms to what the contracting parties intended or would have intended if they had considered the invalidity of the provision, taking into account the principles of good faith and custom.

b.) The GTC can be adapted to the requirements of the Wörthersee Hiking Events. The organizer shall make the appropriate dispositions for this purpose and the visitors shall declare their willingness to accept these dispositions.

c.) All additional agreements are not valid. Changes and additions to the GTC must be made in writing.

d.) The place of jurisdiction and fulfillment for all rights and obligations is Klagenfurt, so that the local and factually competent courts in Klagenfurt are responsible for any legal disputes.

e.) Austrian law shall apply exclusively.

f.) The German text of the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) is exclusively authoritative. g.) The rights and obligations arising from the General Terms and Conditions will be transferred to the legal successor of the organizer.
