1.2 AdventureRooms offers customers (consumers and entrepreneurs) the opportunity to participate in real-time games (Escape Room simulations). A consumer is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes which can predominantly neither be attributed to his commercial nor his self-employed professional activity (§ 13 BGB). Entrepreneur is a natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity which acts in the exercise of its commercial or independent professional activity when concluding a legal transaction (§ 14 Paragraph 1 BGB).

1.3 These GTC are an essential part of every concluded contract. They shall also apply to future business relations with the customer without their renewed express inclusion being necessary. In principle, the following essential contractual provisions apply in the listed order: Individual contract (in particular offer and acceptance); special (product- or service-related) contractual conditions (BVB) of AdventureRooms, in particular for certain services, the general terms of use for participants, the present General Terms and Conditions.  The currently valid version can be viewed on the Internet at https://www.adventurerooms.de/dresden/agb/ and called up at any time. The customer also has the option of printing out or saving the GTC and BVB (pdf file).

1.5 AdventureRooms can change the General Terms and Conditions at any time without stating reasons, even with validity for an existing contractual relationship. AdventureRooms will inform the customer about changes in text form (e-mail) at least 14 working days before they come into effect. The customer’s consent is deemed to have been given if he has not indicated his rejection within 14 days of notification of the changes. The AdventureRooms will point out this approval effect to the customer separately. Should a change change change the services or deviate from the content, the intended adjustment must be reasonable taking into account the interests of the customer.

A use for foreign business purposes (e.g. advertisement and address trade) does not take place.

8.4 For security reasons, the rooms are equipped with video surveillance. This optical-electronic measure enables AdventureRooms (represented by game leaders located at the venue) to observe the participants during the performance period or to pursue actions or omissions. The data processing is done for the avoidance of health risks or game theoretical risks for the participants. As a matter of principle, there will be no recording. The data that can be recorded in exceptional cases will be deleted immediately after the end of the service, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned, which require the protection of personal data, predominate, A further recording or processing for other purposes does not take place.

11. special rights and obligations of the contracting parties in e-commerce

He may use the services of AdventureRooms for his own purposes.

11.2 AdventureRooms expressly points out to the customer that data protection for data transmissions in “open networks”, such as the Internet, cannot be comprehensively guaranteed according to the current state of the art.

This is therefore excluded for the provision of services with the exception of the purchase of vouchers by AdventureRooms.

12.3 The right of revocation expires at the latest twelve months and 14 days after the beginning of the revocation period. In the case of a contract for the provision of services, the right of revocation shall also expire if the entrepreneur has completely provided the service and has only begun to provide the service after the customer has given his express consent to this and at the same time confirmed his knowledge that he will lose his right of revocation when the contract has been completely fulfilled.

12.4 In the event of revocation, the customer shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.

14 Special conditions for participation / delimitations

14.1 The client or the participants are aware that the services provided by AdventureRooms may impair the psychological and physical constitution of the person concerned.

15. final provisions

15.1 Amendments or supplements to the terms and conditions must be made in writing.

AdventureRooms is also entitled to sue the customer at his general place of jurisdiction. Any exclusive place of jurisdiction remains unaffected.

15.5 The invalidity, unenforceability or ineffectiveness of individual provisions of the terms and conditions, even if they are incorporated later or regulated in a supplement, does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Instead of the invalid, void or unenforceable condition, a condition shall be deemed agreed which, as far as legally possible, comes closest to what is economically intended in accordance with the sense and purpose of the invalid, void or unenforceable condition. The same shall apply to unintended loopholes; in such a case, a condition shall be deemed agreed which comes closest to what would have been regulated in accordance with the spirit and purpose of the present contract if the parties had been aware of the loophole; or should a condition be ineffective with regard to a period of time or a fixed conduct.
