(6) Liability
(6.1) The booking service provider is liable exclusively for the proper performance of the booking service (invoicing, payment processing, refunds). The event organizer is solely liable for the event itself—in particular its content, execution, changes, or cancellation—in accordance with the event terms and conditions.

(6.2) The booking service provider assumes no liability for the accuracy and completeness of the event information contained in the ticket shop (e.g., program, speakers, venue). This information is provided by the event organizer.

(6.3) The booking service provider is liable only for damages caused by grossly negligent or intentional breach of duty, as well as for negligent breach of material contractual obligations (“cardinal obligations”). Cardinal obligations are those whose fulfillment is essential for the proper performance of the contract, on whose compliance the customer therefore relies and may rely, and/or obligations whose breach jeopardizes the achievement of the purpose of the contract. Liability for the negligent breach of essential contractual obligations is excluded if a statutory limitation of liability applies to individual components of the service.

(6.4) Liability for consequential damages is excluded.

(6.5) The foregoing limitations of liability do not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, limb, or health, or in cases where the booking service provider has, exceptionally, assumed a guarantee, unless a statutory limitation of liability provides for liability only in cases of intent or gross negligence. Furthermore, liability under the applicable mandatory statutory product liability provisions remains unaffected.

(6.6) The above liability provisions apply mutatis mutandis to the conduct of and claims against employees, legal representatives, and vicarious agents of the booking service provider.

(7) Final Provisions
(7.1) The language available for the conclusion of the contract is exclusively German. Translations of these Terms and Conditions into other languages are provided for your information only. In the event of any discrepancies between the language versions, the German text shall prevail.

(7.2) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, if

(7.2.1) the customer has their habitual residence in Germany, or

(7.2.2) the customer has their habitual residence in a country that is not a member of the European Union.

If you have your habitual residence in a member state of the European Union, German law shall also apply, provided that mandatory provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected.

(7.3) The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract is Leipzig.

(7.4) Should any provision of this Agreement, or any provision subsequently incorporated into it, be or become invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, or should any gap be discovered, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. It is the express intention of the parties to thereby maintain the validity of the remaining provisions under all circumstances and thus to exclude the application of Section 139 of the German Civil Code (BGB) in its entirety. In place of the invalid or unenforceable provision, or to fill the gap, the valid or enforceable provision that most closely approximates, in legal and economic terms, what the parties intended or would have intended in accordance with the meaning and purpose of this contract had they considered this point at the time of concluding the contract or including the provision shall be deemed to have been agreed with retroactive effect; If the invalidity of a provision is based on a measure of performance or time (period or deadline) specified therein, the provision shall be deemed agreed upon with a legally permissible measure that comes closest to the original measure. If such a replacement is not possible, a provision or rule shall be established in accordance with the preceding sentence to replace the void or unenforceable provision or to fill the gap.
