General Terms and Conditions

§ 1
Scope of application
The following General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all contracts for the purchase of tickets for the guided tours offered in the online sales of the Transparent 3D Factory of Rapidobject GmbH ("Rapidobject"). The GTC govern the contractual relationship between the customer ("Customer") and Rapidobject.
§ 2
Subject matter of the contract
(1) The offer to conclude a contract is made by the customer as soon as he has clicked on the "BOOK NOW FOR A COST" button or the button clearly labeled in accordance with Section 312j (3) BGB. With his offer in the Rapidobject booking portal, the customer agrees to these GTC of Rapidobject. A contract is only concluded when Rapidobject assigns and sends the transaction number/order number to the customer. Deviating from this, in the case of prepayment, the contract is concluded when the customer's payment account is successfully debited with the full payment amount.

(2) The customer will receive a confirmation email with the purchased tickets as Print at Home tickets in PDF file format after receipt of payment. Confirmations and print-at-home tickets are sent to the e-mail address provided by the customer at the customer's risk. There will be no replacement.

(3) Admission is only granted on presentation of a valid ticket as a printout or on a smartphone/tablet. The validity of the tickets is limited to the specified day and, in the case of time slot tickets, to the specified time slot. Tickets lose their validity after leaving the Transparent 3D Factory or after being validated.

(4) Rapidobject undertakes to carry out the tour booked by the Customer. In return, the Customer undertakes to pay the agreed fee.

§ 3
Terms of payment and offsetting
(1) The agreed prices include the taxes applicable at the time the contract is concluded. In the event of a change in the statutory value added tax or the introduction of new local taxes on the object of performance after conclusion of the contract, the prices shall be adjusted accordingly. In the case of contracts with consumers, this shall only apply if the period between conclusion of the contract and fulfillment of the contract exceeds four months.

(2) If the invoice amount was not paid directly upon conclusion of the contract via one of the specified service providers and the customer has agreed payment on account, payment must be made (unless otherwise agreed) within fourteen days of receipt of the invoice without deduction.

(3) The Customer may only offset Rapidobject's claim for payment against a recognized, undisputed and legally binding claim against Rapidobject. The same applies to the exercise of a right of retention by the customer.

(4) The customer agrees that the invoice may be sent to him electronically.

§ 4
Creation and use of the customer account

(1) In order to be able to book tickets for guided tours, Customers must create a customer account by registering accordingly. The creation or use of a customer account with Rapidobject is mandatory for the proper fulfillment of the contract by Rapidobject for the Customer.

(2) By sending the corresponding confirmation e-mail after completion of the registration, a user agreement regarding the customer account is concluded between the customer and Rapidobject.

(3) The access data provided during registration, in particular the password, must be kept safe by the customer. The password may not be disclosed to third parties. If a Customer becomes aware of the misuse of its access data, it must inform Rapidobject immediately.

(4) Rapidobject provides the respective customer account free of charge.

(5) Information regarding the processing of personal data relating to the customer account is provided in the Data protection information held ready.

(6) The Customer may terminate the User Agreement without notice with immediate effect by notifying Rapidobject, with the consequence that the Customer will no longer have access to the data stored in the Customer Account. Rapidobject recommends not to terminate the User Agreement as long as the Customer still needs the Customer Account for current contracts or claims. In the event of termination by the Customer, Rapidobject reserves the right to keep the Customer Account active until all mutual claims between the Customer and Rapidobject have been satisfied in full. Rapidobject assumes no responsibility if a customer is unable to use paid services due to his termination.

(7) Rapidobject reserves the right to temporarily block the customer account, in particular if it is misused for fraudulent or other illegal purposes or by unauthorized third parties.

(8) The right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.

§ 5
Liability
(1) Rapidobject shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions in the event of intent and gross negligence on the part of a legal representative, an executive employee or other vicarious agent, in the event of the assumption of guarantees, culpable injury to life, limb or health and in the event of liability under the Product Liability Act. Furthermore, Rapidobject shall be liable on the merits for any culpable breach of a cardinal obligation (whereby this is one of the essential contractual obligations, which abstractly refers to an obligation whose fulfillment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose compliance the other party may regularly rely), whereby liability for financial and property damage is limited to the amount of typically foreseeable damage.

(2) Rapidobject's strict liability for initial defects pursuant to Section 536a BGB is excluded.

Rapidobject shall not be liable in this respect for loss, theft or damage to these items unless this is due to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a legal representative, an executive employee or other vicarious agent of Rapidobject. Items brought along by the customer are not insured by Rapidobject. If necessary, the customer shall take out appropriate insurance itself to cover the risks of damage to the items or business interruption.
