Terms & Conditions

Special Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Tickets for the Nation of Gondwana Festival / Visitor Regulations

The contract for the event is concluded when the ticket is handed over to the purchaser. In doing so, the purchaser bindingly agrees to use the ticket(s) exclusively for private purposes. Each ticket is only valid for one person. Children and young people may not purchase tickets. The purchaser bindingly agrees that he/she is of legal age.
If the event contract is concluded at artevent GmbH or at an authorised sales outlet, the event contract with artevent GmbH is concluded by handing over the tickets; if the order is placed by telephone, it is concluded by the employee of artevent GmbH stating the booking number. In the case of an order by telephone, the customer has the opportunity to view the general terms and conditions in advance at the advance booking offices and at www.pyonen.de. The customer will also be sent the general terms and conditions together with the order. In addition, the General Terms and Conditions will be sent to the customer together with the ordered tickets immediately after conclusion of the contract. In the case of an order by telephone, the customer will be informed before the order process that by continuing the order he/she accepts the inclusion of these GTC without the GTC being sent to him/her before the conclusion of the contract.
In the case of an order in the online booking system, the offer for the conclusion of a contract is made by the orderer as soon as he places an order for a ticket. If artevent GmbH accepts the orderer’s offer, it confirms this by sending an e-mail, which also constitutes acceptance of the offer.
The rights and obligations arising from the event contract documented by the admission ticket can only be transferred to a third party by the third party entering into the event contract and assuming all rights and obligations. This entry requires the consent of artevent GmbH, which is not granted in particular in the event of the sale of the right to attend or of tickets within the framework of auctions not authorised by artevent GmbH, in particular on the Internet or via other Internet marketplaces or Internet ticket exchanges not authorised by artevent GmbH.
Each orderer may – irrespective of the number of order processes – order a maximum of the number of tickets that artevent GmbH indicates as the maximum quantity for the respective event. Circumventing this prohibition by giving different names is prohibited. For reasons of contact tracing in the event of a Corona infection, the tickets will be personalised. For this purpose, purchasers must provide their contact details truthfully and in full. Admission to the event will only be granted if the ticket holder can identify himself and the names on the ticket and on the identification document match. The visitor can identify himself/herself with official identification and identification documents with a photo, such as an identity card, passport or driving licence. artevent GmbH is entitled to withdraw from the event contracts concluded by the orderer by blocking the tickets in the event of a breach of the obligations from sentences 1, 2, 3 and/or 4.
In order to prevent acts of violence and criminal offences in connection with attendance at the event, to enforce prohibitions on attendance, to prevent the resale of tickets at inflated prices and in the interests of the safety of spectators, artevent GmbH’s consent to the entry of a third party into the event contract in accordance with clause 4. will not be granted in the following cases:
- in the case of the sale of visiting rights or tickets, if the resale price offered or achieved (auctions) exceeds the remuneration owed by artevent GmbH for these visiting rights/tickets plus a flat rate of 2 euros by more than 10%; this also applies in particular in the context of a private transfer (artevent GmbH does not agree to the private sale on ebay under the aforementioned conditions)…;
- in the event of the sale of the right to visit or of tickets within the framework of auctions not authorised by artevent GmbH (in particular on the Internet) itself or by third parties;
- in the event of the sale of the right to visit or of tickets via Internet marketplaces or Internet ticket exchanges not authorised by artevent GmbH itself or by third parties;
- in the event of a commercial or industrial sale of the right to visit or the purchased tickets without the express prior written consent of artevent GmbH;
- in the event of sale of the right to visit or of tickets without express reference to these GTC, in particular this clause.
- A sale of the securities listed under the aforementioned specifications is only permitted on the platform www.tixforgigs.com.
Passing on or offering of visiting rights or tickets in violation of the points mentioned in clause 6 is prohibited. By concluding the event contract or by entering into the same, the contracting party warrants that it will not violate this prohibition. By presenting the ticket at the entrance to the event, the ticket holder warrants that he/she is entitled to attend the event and, in particular, that he/she has not received the ticket in the context of passing it on in the cases specified in Clause 6.
For each violation of the prohibition mentioned in clause 7, the contractual partner is obliged to pay artevent GmbH a contractual penalty, the amount of which is to be determined by artevent GmbH at its reasonable discretion, but which may not exceed 2,500.00 EUR. The number of unlawfully offered visiting rights or tickets is decisive for the number of violations.
In the event of a breach of the prohibition according to clause 7. sentence 1 or a false assurance according to clause 7. sentences 2 and 3, artevent GmbH is entitled to
– to withdraw from the event contract and/or
– block the tickets and refuse to allow the ticket holder to attend the event.
If the contractual partner should have a claim for reimbursement due to the withdrawal or blocking, artevent GmbH is obliged to take this into account in the context of determining the contractual penalty. In the event of a breach of the prohibition pursuant to clause 7. sentence 1, artevent GmbH further reserves the right to exclude the respective contractual partner from purchasing tickets in the future.
In the event of loss or theft of tickets and timely written notification by the contractual partner, there is no entitlement to replacement of individual tickets. However, if artevent GmbH is able to block the ticket, a replacement ticket will be issued to the contractual partner against payment of a processing fee of EUR 10.00. artevent GmbH transfers the handling of ticketing in Germany to the following partner: TixforGigs, Käthe- Kollwitz-Straße 60, 04109 Leipzig, Germany.

If the event is not held, the amount paid will be refunded to the purchaser on presentation of the ticket purchased. In the event of a cancellation for which artevent GmbH is not responsible, the customer will only be refunded the ticket price and the rubbish deposit, but not the advance booking fees and the solidarity surcharge.

In the case of gross negligence, liability is limited to the direct average damage typical for the contract if only insignificant contractual obligations have been breached. Liability shall be limited to the same extent in the event of a slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations. artevent GmbH shall not be liable in the event of a slightly negligent breach of immaterial contractual obligations. Insofar as the liability of artevent GmbH is excluded or limited, this also applies to the liability of the vicarious agents. artevent GmbH is not liable for disruptions caused by circumstances beyond its control. This applies in particular to impairments caused by the failure or disruption of the telephone communication network and the power supply.
If there is an important reason, in particular if a visitor commits criminal offences on the premises (e.g. bodily harm, theft, drug dealing), artevent GmbH is entitled to exclude the visitor from the event. If artevent GmbH exercises its right of exclusion, the ticket loses its validity. A claim for refund of the ticket value is excluded. The instructions of the security staff must be followed.

Manipulation, passing on or faking a false authorisation (VIP wristband) will lead to immediate exclusion from the event and will have consequences under criminal and civil law. A refund of the ticket value in case of leaving the premises before or during the event is excluded.
