Agency Agreement

4.1. Agency acts exclusively as an intermediary (agency) for the Services of Providers and mediates contracts on behalf and for the account of the respective Provider.

The mutual rights and obligations of Agency and Customer result from the contractual agreements made in the individual case, these T&C and the general law.

Relations between Customers and Provider

5.1. The rights and obligations of the Customer vis-à-vis the mediated Provider of the Services are exclusively governed by the agreements made with the latter, if effectively agreed, in particular its terms and conditions. These may include terms of payment and due dates, liability, cancellation, rebooking and (if provided for) refunds, and potentially also other restrictions and obligations of the customer. The corresponding Provider terms will be made available to the customer, if available, in the course of the booking (before any binding Customer declaration).

Invitation, Offer and Acceptance

6.1.The Services presented on the Website or sent by e-mail, as the case may be, are not binding contractual offers on the part of Agency and/or the respective Provider, but rather invitations to Customers to submit an offer to conclude a contract with the Provider through the Agency.

6.2.he Customers make their offers by entering their data in the online booking form and sending it to Agency. Customers are bound to their offer for a maximum period of five (5) days. Within this period, Agency (on behalf of the respective Provider) or the respective Provider themselves can accept the particular offer. If it is not accepted, within the afore mentioned period of time, the Customer shall no longer be bound to their offer.

6.3.Acceptance is declared with a booking confirmation, either on the Website (which will be confirmed by email without delay) or by email. The contract for the Service is concluded with the transmission of the confirmation.

6.4.If, alternatively, Agency sends an offer to a Customer, the Customer can accept it within the period specified in the offer. In this case, the contract for the Service is concluded by the acceptance of the Customer.

Contract text and data transfer

7.1. Customer data related to a contract and the contract text will be stored by Agency..

7.2.As part of the performance of the contract, Agency will forward data to the respective Providers. See the Agency’s Privacy Notice for further information (for the avoidance of doubt, the Privacy Notice is not incorporated by reference into these T&C or the legal agreement between the parties).

 

Compass service

10.1. On the Website, the Agency provides the “Compass” service, comprising airport maps and directions for flight connections.

10.2. The maps and directions have been compiled diligently by the Agency. However, Agency cannot guarantee accuracy of the information. The information is provided for informational purposes only. The Customer shall not rely on this information alone, but follow local directions and instructions from airport signage, ground staff etc.

Special Needs; Claims and Complaints

11.1.Customers shall, in their own interest, inform Agency of any special needs or restrictions with regard to the Services requested. Should Agency accept special requests, the acceptance is only for forwarding to the respective Provider to be mediated. Unless otherwise expressly agreed, Agency is not responsible for the fulfillment of such special requests. These are also not a condition or contractual basis for the mediation order. Customer are hereby informed that special requests usually only become part of the contractual obligations of the respective Provider upon explicit confirmation.

11.2.In case of any defects of the Service, statutory or contractually agreed complaint terms must be observed. These terms are generally not met by asserting claims against Agency (this does not apply for the Service described in Section 10). This also applies if the Customer wants to assert claims against Agency as well as against the Provider regarding the same Service.

11.3.With regard to any claims of the Customer against the Provider, Agency has no obligation to advise on any legal provisions, including without limitation the type, scope, amount, claim requirements and time limitations to be met.

Payments

12.1.Unless indicated otherwise, all monetary considerations (for example, fees, tariffs, charges) for Services will be collected by Agency on behalf of the respective Providers, and thus, shall be paid by Customers to Agency.

12.2.The acceptance of means of payment is on account of performance (erfüllungshalber). This does, however, not apply to any cash payments or finalized bank transfers (for the avoidance of doubt, Agency is not obliged to offer these means of payment).

Accuracy and Availability

16.1. Agency is not liable for the success of the mediation or the provision of the Service by the Provider, but only for the fact that the mediation is carried out with customary diligence.

16.2. Agency makes reasonable efforts to ensure that the available information and other data, in particular with regard to prices, services, booking conditions, restrictions and dates, are up-to-date, complete and accurate at the time of publication on the Website. However, the individual details of third-party Services rely on information provided by the respective Providers.

16.3. Agency assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness and reliability of other third-party content, in particular maps, automatic translations, customer reviews, third-party editorial texts and images relating to places and regions. Geographic data displayed on the website, in particular map representations, only serve as non-binding orientation.

16.4. All offered Services have limited availability. Agency does not guarantee and is not liable for the availability of a particular Service at the time of the booking request. Agency does not and does not assume the procurement risk (Beschaffungsrisiko).

16.5. The exclusions of liability of this Section above shall not apply insofar as Agency was aware of the incorrect information or should have been aware of such information if it had exercised due diligence customary in the trade and industry.

Liability

17.1. Irrespective of the legal basis, where liability is based on fault, Agency’s liability for damages caused by intentional acts and gross negligence shall be to the statutory extent. In the event of simple negligence, Agency shall only be liable for:

17.1.1.

17.1.2.

Damages resulting from a breach of Cardinal Duties; in this case, however, Agency’s liability shall be limited to the typical and foreseeable amount of damages.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER

18.1. The provisions of this Section apply only for Customers who have their habitual residence (if Customer is a natural person), or their legal seat or main administration (if Customer is a legal entity) in the United States of America (including federal and dependent territories).

18.2. WHERE PERMITTED UNTER THE APPLICABLE LAW; AGENCY AND PROVIDER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OF CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BEFORE ANY COURT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS).

Applicable Law

19.1. The legal relations between the Agency and the Customers shall be governed by German law. A renvoi is excluded.

19.2. If the Customer is a natural person and procuring the Service for a purpose which can be regarded as being outside their trade or profession, the Customer shall, however, enjoy all protection afforded to him by provisions that cannot be derogated from by agreement by virtue of the law in the jurisdiction of his habitual residence. This does not apply if the Customer’s habitual residence is outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Severability

If any provision or provisions of these Terms and Conditions and its additions shall be held to be or become invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the law of any applicable jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
