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.

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.
