The General Terms and Conditions apply to the sale of tickets for the Events defined below through the Operator's Sales Network.

2.1. Event – an event or occasion consisting of a social, cultural, sporting or other leisure activity that takes place at a time and place determined by the Organiser.
2.2. Entrepreneur – a person who independently carries out a gainful activity on their own account and at their own responsibility, in a trade-like or similar manner, with the intention of doing so on a continuous basis for the purpose of making a profit. Under the conditions laid down in Act No. 513/1991, as amended (hereinafter the "Commercial Code"), this means any natural or legal person who carries out a continuous gainful activity in their own name and at their own responsibility and is registered in the Commercial Register, or who conducts business on the basis of a trade licence or of an authorisation other than a trade licence under special regulations (e.g. an auditor or a lawyer), or a natural person engaged in agricultural production and registered under a special regulation.
2.3. Organiser – a natural or legal person other than the Operator who organises, operates or carries out the Event and who is in a contractual relationship with the Operator that enables the Operator to mediate the sale of Tickets for the Event.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Operator declares that it is not the organiser of the Events for which it sells Tickets.

2.7. Ticket – a document issued in the Sales Network which entitles its holder to attend a given Event. The Ticket also serves as proof of purchase for the Consumer.

3.1. The Organiser arranges for the sale and distribution of Tickets for individual Events to the Organiser. Unless stated otherwise below, the Operator acts in the name and on behalf of the Organiser on the basis of a mandate agreement between the Operator and the Organiser. By purchasing a Ticket, a legal relationship arises directly between the Customer and the Organiser. The contract between the Organiser and the Customer is concluded for a fixed term, until the Event takes place or until all claims arising from it have been settled. In certain cases, the Operator may arrange the sale and distribution of Tickets for a given Event in its own name, on behalf of the Organiser, on the basis of a commission agreement. The Operator undertakes to inform the Customer, upon request, of the manner in which Tickets for a given Event are sold.

The Organiser reserves the right to change the programme, date and venue of the Event, which the Customer acknowledges and accepts by purchasing the Ticket.
3.3. For the avoidance of doubt, the Operator declares and warns that it is in no way responsible for the holding of the Event or its failure to take place, or for any change to the programme, date or venue of the Event. The Operator accepts no liability for the course of the Event or for incidents occurring at the Event, and is not liable for any damage or other harm suffered by the Customer or third parties during or in connection with the Event. All possible claims, including claims relating to the change or cancellation of the Event, must be lodged by the Customer directly with the relevant Organiser in accordance with the complaint conditions below. This does not apply where a Ticket for a given Event was sold to the Customer in the Operator's name on behalf of the Organiser. In such a case it is possible to lodge a complaint with the Operator in accordance with the complaint conditions below.
3.4. When attending the Event, the Customer is in all cases obliged to comply with the rules laid down by the Event organiser, to comply with the operating or visitor rules of the Event venue, and to follow the instructions of the Organiser of the given Event.
