§ 1 Organizer

Open Beatz Festival GmbH

An der Römerstraße 18

89331 Burgau

E-Mail: [email protected]

Commercial Register: Amtsgericht Memmingen – HRB 17192 

(hereinafter referred to as the “Organizer”)

§ 2 Scope / Contractual Partner

1. Open Beatz Festival GmbH, represented by the managing directors Florian Gebauer and Tobias Hagel, An der Römerstraße 18, 89331 Burgau (hereinafter referred to as the “Organizer”), offers festivals (hereinafter referred to as “Open Beatz”) on the designated site at Puschendorfer Str. 2, Herzogenaurach, Bavaria. The festival site includes the infield, the camping area, and the parking lot, access to which is only granted with a valid ticket (hereinafter referred to as “Ticket”).
2. These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter referred to as “GTC”) apply between the purchaser of a Ticket (hereinafter referred to as “Visitor” or “Ticket Holder”) and the Organizer. If the GTC of the Organizer’s contractual partners are applied and conflict with the Organizer’s GTC, the Organizer’s GTC shall take precedence. By purchasing a Ticket, the Visitor enters into an event contract and acquires the right to attend the event. By booking a parking space, the Visitor enters into a rental agreement for a parking spot. By booking a locker, the Visitor enters into a rental agreement for a locker (hereinafter referred to as “Locker”).
3. In addition to the obligations arising from these GTC, the Visitor undertakes to comply with the additional rules of conduct for the various areas of Open Beatz, in particular the infield, the camping area, and the parking lot.
4. Contractual relationships are established exclusively between the Organizer and the Visitor who purchases the Ticket.
   
   

§ 3 Scope, Subject Matter, and Conclusion of the Respective Contract

1. The following conditions exclusively govern the contractual relationship between the Visitor and the Organizer. The Organizer points out that it acts as an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB), i.e., in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity.
2. These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply exclusively. Conflicting or deviating terms and conditions of the Visitor shall not be recognized unless the Organizer has expressly agreed to them on a case-by-case basis.
3. They apply both to consumers and to entrepreneurs. For the purposes of these GTC, a consumer is any natural person who places the order for purposes that are predominantly not attributable to their commercial or independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is a natural or legal person, or a legally capable partnership, who acts when placing the order in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.
4. The Organizer only enters into contracts with consumers who are at least 16 years old.
5. The primary subject of the respective contract is the purchase of a Ticket, by which the parties conclude an event contract and the Visitor acquires the right to attend the event. In addition, the Visitor may book further services. By booking a parking space or camping space, the Visitor concludes a rental agreement for a vehicle or camping space. By booking a locker, the Visitor concludes a rental agreement for a locker (hereinafter referred to as “Locker”). The subject of the respective contract may also include the sale of additional items by the Organizer to the Visitor.
6. The supervision, monitoring, or safekeeping of the parked vehicle, the provision of insurance coverage, or any other activity that goes beyond the provision of the parking space is not part of the contract. Accordingly, the Organizer assumes no custodial responsibilities.
7. During the rental period, ordinary termination of the rental agreement is excluded. The rental agreement ends at the end of the rental period unless it is terminated without notice beforehand. A refund of the rental fee in the event that the customer does not use the rented parking or camping space is only possible in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions (currently: § 537 BGB) and is otherwise excluded.
8. Special provisions apply to the booking and use of the parking lot, the booking of a camping space and use of the camping area, as well as the booking and use of lockers. These special provisions are attached to these GTC.
9. The Visitor can place an order for Tickets, additional items, the booking of a parking space, camping space, Locker, or other items via the Organizer’s website. The offer for the conclusion of a contract is made by the Visitor as soon as they click the “Pay Now” button (or a button with a similar wording). Acceptance of the contract between the Visitor and the Organizer occurs (i) in the case of prepayment by providing the bank transfer details for the outstanding payment, and (ii) for all other payment methods by allocation and sending of the Ticket number or Ticket to the participant. Furthermore, sending access to a personal MyTicket portal, which is visible to the participant, always constitutes a contract confirmation. If the Visitor does not receive such a confirmation in due time, they are no longer bound to their order.
10. Upon receipt of full payment by the Organizer, the Visitor receives the Tickets sent to the email address provided. No additional Tickets will be sent by post or fax.
11. The contract text and the General Terms and Conditions will be sent to the Visitor by email after the order. Furthermore, Visitors who have created a customer account can access their respective orders at any time after the conclusion of the contract via their account.
12. The contract is concluded exclusively in German. German law shall apply insofar as the Visitor is a merchant.
13. All prices are quoted in gross Euros.
    
    

§ 4 Execution of the Purchase Contract

1. The purchase of Tickets takes place via the ticket shop of TicketPAY Europe GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “TicketPAY”). After selecting a Ticket on the Organizer’s website https://openbeatz.de/tickets , the Visitor will be redirected to the ticket shop at https://shop.ticketpay.de/UFY5SWQC . The General Terms and Conditions of TicketPAY also apply in addition, which you can find here.
2. TicketPAY acts in the sale of Tickets as a legal representative and on behalf of and for the account of the Organizer. The contract for the purchase of the Ticket is concluded exclusively between the Organizer and the Visitor.
3. By clicking the “Order with obligation to pay” button or any other button corresponding to the requirements of § 312j (3) BGB, the Visitor submits a binding offer to conclude the contract. The Organizer accepts this offer in the case of prepayment by sending the booking confirmation via email and in the case of all other payment methods by immediately sending the print@home Tickets via email.
   
   

§ 5 Obligations of the Visitor

1. The Visitor is solely responsible for the safekeeping and carrying of the Tickets for the event.
2. Tickets or other services that can only be purchased in a personalized manner entitle only the respective holder of the Ticket or booked additional item to attend the event or use the service. Any re-personalization is subject to the applicable General Terms and Conditions of TicketPAY Europe GmbH.
3. When using discounted Tickets, the Visitor is obliged to provide the corresponding proof unprompted at the event’s access controls. If the Visitor fails to do so, the Organizer has the right, after setting a reasonable deadline for compliance with the proof requirement, to withdraw from the contract. If it turns out that the Visitor is not entitled to the respective Ticket type, the Organizer is legally entitled to contest the contract.
4. The Visitor is obliged to use the services provided/to be provided by the Organizer only for the contractually agreed purposes. In particular, the Visitor is only entitled to use the Tickets for private purposes. Any commercial resale of purchased Tickets or use as a prize in a contest, sweepstakes, or for other promotional purposes is prohibited without prior consent from the Organizer. Private resale is only permitted via the TicketPAY platform and is subject to the applicable General Terms and Conditions of TicketPAY Europe GmbH.
5. Altering the Ticket (e.g., printing on it, modifying it, or any other form of tampering) for the purpose of deception or disadvantaging others is prohibited.
6. Any Visitor who transfers Tickets in violation of the provisions of § 5 clauses 4 or tampers with Tickets as described in § 5 clause 5 is obliged to pay the Organizer a reasonable contractual penalty, determined at the Organizer’s discretion and subject to judicial review, of up to €2,500.00 per unlawfully offered or tampered Ticket or attendance right. The Organizer reserves the right to claim higher damages, offsetting the contractual penalty. In such cases, the Organizer is also entitled to confiscate the affected Ticket or revoke the attendance right.
7. The Visitor must ensure that their actions in connection with the event do not violate statutory provisions and/or the rights of third parties. In particular, the Visitor is obliged to verify the legal permissibility of any actions and to act in compliance with the law.
8. If third parties assert claims against the Organizer under the preceding clauses, the Organizer will inform the Visitor immediately. The Visitor undertakes to indemnify the Organizer against any liability to third parties, to support the Organizer in legal defense, and to bear the costs of reasonable legal defense, provided the Organizer is not partly at fault. In such cases, the indemnification is to be reduced by the proportion of contributory fault.
   
   

§ 6 Changes, Cancellation, and Termination by the Organizer

1. The Organizer has no influence over the design, duration, or content of individual performances and therefore assumes no liability to the Visitor in this regard.
2. The Ticket entitles its holder to attend the festival on the premises. The Organizer has the right to make short-term changes to the schedule, content, and location of the event. The Organizer will, as far as possible, provide equivalent replacements. This does not give the Visitor the right to withdraw from the contract and/or cancel their Tickets, as long as the overall character of Open Beatz is maintained.
3. Delays and rescheduling of individual program items must be tolerated by the Visitor to a reasonable extent.
4. Cancellations or changes will be announced by the Organizer as early as possible and may also occur after the start of the festival for an important reason. The Organizer will endeavor to announce program changes immediately on its website www.openbeatz.de, on the relevant social media channels, and in the festival app.
5. The Organizer reserves the right to reschedule or cancel the event locally and/or in time for an important reason. In this case, any refund is limited to the face value of the Ticket and only up to the date of the event. Further claims are excluded, except insofar as any exclusion of liability under these General Terms and Conditions does not apply.
6. The Organizer is released from its performance obligations in cases of force majeure. Force majeure includes all unforeseen events as well as events whose impact on contract performance is not attributable to either party. Such events include, in particular, epidemics, pandemics, lawful industrial actions, including in third-party companies, and official measures. In the event of cancellation by the Organizer, already paid fees will be refunded; further claims are excluded unless liability limitations/exclusions under § 8 of this contract apply.
7. Open Beatz generally takes place regardless of weather conditions. However, if weather conditions pose a danger to the life, limb, or health of Visitors, artists, and/or staff, the Organizer may immediately terminate Open Beatz. If a service to be provided by the Organizer becomes impossible or delayed due to weather conditions, official orders, judicial decisions, or other unforeseeable and non-attributable circumstances (e.g., industrial actions, operational disruptions, transport obstacles, official measures – also affecting the Organizer’s contractual partners), the Organizer is entitled to cancel the event.
8. Additionally, the current notices and the instructions of the on-site security personnel apply.

14. The above liability limitations also apply to the Organizer’s vicarious agents.
15. Otherwise, liability is excluded.
