2.3 The organizer is only entitled to make changes or deviations to certain travel services if these do not influence or impair the overall booked travel itinerary. In any case, the organizer is obliged to inform the customer of any subsequent changes in writing and to provide reasons for them.
In the event of serious changes to the booked services, the customer has the right to withdraw from the travel contract or to request the booking of an identical or higher value trip. Oral demands are not valid in this case.
2.5 The organizer is not liable for the implementation of third-party services if these were arranged as part of the trip and the customer was made aware of them by information on the website or by issuing flight tickets with labels. By booking, the customer simultaneously accepts the general terms and conditions of the responsible organizer.

Any further compensation for damages in accordance with Section 651n of the German Civil Code (BGB) is excluded.
3. Payment
3.1 If a valid customer money protection contract exists and is provided to the customer in a clear, understandable, and prominent manner, including the name and contact details of the customer money insurer, the tour operator may request and accept payments before the end of the package tour. Upon receipt of the security certificate, a deposit of 20% of the tour price is due after conclusion of the contract. If the amount is not received in the tour operator's account within 14 days for bookings confirmed more than 18 days before arrival, the customer will be in default of payment.

This increase may not exceed 5% of the total travel price. If the price increase is higher than 5%, the customer may withdraw from the trip.
4.2 The price increase may only occur up to 21 days before the start of the trip and must be communicated to the customer immediately after notification.
The customer must assert his/her rights immediately, at most 10 days after notification of the change.

5.3 Unless the cancellation is due to the organizer's fault or a case of force majeure, the organizer can demand appropriate compensation for the travel arrangements made up to the cancellation and its expenses depending on the respective travel price. When calculating the compensation, saved expenses and any other possible use of the event services must usually be taken into account. At the traveler's request, the tour operator is obliged to justify the amount of compensation.

6.2 This obligation does not apply if the services are completely insignificant.
7. Changes or withdrawal by the organizer
7.1 Cancellation of the event/trip due to force majeure/pandemic
The organizer assumes that all trips will take place as usual. In the event that this is not possible, the organizer will cancel individual trips. A cancellation occurs exactly when the responsible authorities prohibit the event, there is a travel ban or there is an official travel warning for the affected region.
In this special case, the organizer will immediately refund the entire participant price paid without any deductions.
7.2 The organizer may terminate the contract without notice if the participant disrupts the execution of the trip despite a warning from the organizer or if he/she behaves contrary to the contract to such an extent that the immediate cancellation of the contract is justified is. If the organizer terminates the contract, the organizer retains the right to the participation fee less the value of the saved expenses and the saved benefits that result from other use of the services not used.

8.2 The traveler is obliged to report any defects to the organizer immediately and to demand remedial action. This is the customer’s obligation. If the traveler culpably fails to report defects, he/she is not entitled to a reduction in the travel price. The organizer must provide remedial action if this is possible and the circumstances allow it.
8.3 Baggage delays and damage must be resolved directly on-site with the relevant airline/transport company. The tour operator can only intervene in a supportive capacity.
9. Liability, exclusion of claims and limitation period
9.1 The contractual liability for damages that are not bodily harm is limited to three times the participant price (per person), provided that the participant's damage was neither caused intentionally nor through gross negligence or that we are solely responsible for damage suffered by the participant due to the fault of a service provider are. Legal regulations that limit or exclude liability, which are based on international agreements and which a service provider employed by us can rely on, also apply in our favor. For all claims for damages made against the organizer due to unlawful acts 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).
9.2 The organizer is not liable for service disruptions, personal injuries and property damage in connection with third-party services that are merely arranged and are expressly identified as such in the advertisement (e.g. excursions, tours, visits to parks and other leisure facilities).
9.3 The customer has a duty to handle all types of borrowed equipment with care. If damage occurs, the organizer is not liable. In this case, the customer must replace the items of the same quality or bear the costs for the new purchase themselves.
9.4 The organizer is generally not liable in the event of force majeure.
9.5 Participants and fellow travelers are responsible for their own participation in sports and other leisure activities. Sports facilities, equipment, and vehicles should be inspected accordingly before use.

In the event of service disruptions, each participant/fellow traveler is obligated to cooperate within the framework of the legal provisions to avoid or minimize any damage. Defects and disruptions must be reported to staff immediately. The organizer recommends that this be done in writing. If a participant/fellow traveler fails to fulfill this obligation through their own fault, they are not entitled to any claims.
Employees on site are not entitled to recognize claims of any kind. Claims of any kind are to be presented to the respective management's authorized representative on site. The organizer recommends the written form.
9.7 Claims for non-contractual provision of the booked trip must be submitted to the organizer within one month of the contractually agreed end of the trip. The organizer recommends written form. After this deadline, claims can only be asserted if the travelers were prevented from meeting the deadline through no fault of their own. Claims arising from this contract expire after one year, expressly deviating from the statutory provisions. The limitation period begins on the day on which the event was supposed to end according to the contract.
10. Passport, Visa and Health Requirements
10.1 The organizer informs the citizens of a country of the European Union in which the trip is offered about the legal situation and provisions of passport, visa and health regulations before the contract is concluded and about any changes thereto before the start of the trip. For citizens of other countries, the responsible consulate can provide information. Special features such as dual citizenship, statelessness or others are not taken into account by the organizer.
10.2 The traveler is responsible for complying with all regulations important for carrying out the trip. All disadvantages resulting from non-compliance with these regulations will be borne by the organizer, unless they are caused by the organizer culpably providing incorrect information. If the traveler does not comply with the entry regulations of individual countries, or if a visa is not issued in a timely manner by the diplomatic mission due to the traveler's fault, so that the traveler is therefore prevented from traveling, the organizer is not liable.
11. Invalidity of individual provisions
The ineffectiveness of individual provisions does not justify the ineffectiveness of the rest of the travel contract.
12. Obligation to provide information about the identity of the operating air carrier
12.1 The EU Regulation on informing passengers of the identity of the operating air carrier (EU 2111/05) obliges the tour operator to inform the customer of the identity of the operating airline(s) for all air transport services to be provided as part of the booked journeys at the time of booking.
12.2 If the operating airline has not yet been determined at the time of booking, the tour operator will inform the customer of the airline(s) that are likely to operate the flight.
12.3 As soon as the tour operator knows which airline will operate the flight, the customer will be informed accordingly.
12.4 If the airline named to the customer as the operating airline changes, the tour operator must inform the customer of this change. The tour operator must promptly take all reasonable steps to ensure that the customer is informed of the change as soon as possible.

13. Rules for using the sports and training facilities
13.1 The customer accepts the special and possibly individual rules for the use of the sports and training facilities, in particular the respective house and site rules, even if these were not known before the contract was concluded. Like these General Terms and Conditions of Business and Travel, they are part of every contract concluded. Excluded from this rule are agreements that were explicitly made in the travel contract. Unless otherwise stated, the training places and times are allocated by the hotelier, the place owner or the organizer. The customer is requested to express his wishes in this regard to the organizer in advance, although these are non-binding for the organizer and the respective service provider.
13.2 The customer has no decision-making authority in this regard. The respective owners of the sports and training facilities reserve the right to close the facilities because the pitches are unplayable. The unplayability can result from (the list is not exhaustive): rain, snow, hail, storms or other weather conditions. In this case, the travel price is reduced by the costs for using the sports facilities. Any further reduction in the travel price or compensation is excluded.
13.3 If the organization of a friendly or test match has been agreed as a service provision, this unit - unless otherwise agreed - will not take place in addition to, but instead of a training session.
13.4 Customers are responsible for providing the necessary information required to organize the trip (e.g. information on allergies, eating habits, disabilities, lists of participants, etc.). If the entire package is not sent as described by the organizer, the trip is not considered defective, nor is the organizer obliged to reduce the price of the trip or pay compensation.
13.5 If a tourist tax is due on site, this must be paid directly on site unless otherwise agreed in advance.
13.6 Upon conclusion of the travel contract, the applicant assigns the image rights to the organizer on behalf of everyone.
