General Terms & Conditions

(Ticket purchase // FKP Scorpio-Events)

The following General Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) of FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH (hereinafter also “FKP Scorpio”, "we", "us") govern both the purchase of tickets from FKP Scorpio (Part A) and the conditions that apply to events promoted by FKP Scorpio alone or together with other event promoters (Part B).

By purchasing and holding a ticket to an event, customers accept the applicability of these T&Cs.
For ease of reference, all references to customers, consumers, promoters, and other persons are made in its female (“she”) or plural form. This designation shall refer to persons of all gender and to the singular, where applicable.

 

Part A: Ticket purchase / Ancillary transport services

By ordering tickets, customers instruct FKP Scorpio to process the ticket purchase, including shipping.
FKP Scorpio distributes tickets on behalf of the relevant promoter as an agent or as commission agent, unless it is expressly designated as the (co-) promoter for an event. In that case, FKP Scorpio distributes tickets in its own name and on its own behalf.
Where FKP Scorpio distributes tickets on behalf of other promoters, be it as an agent or commission agent, FKP Scorpio does not promote the respective events, but the respective promoters do. These promoters also issue the tickets. By purchasing a ticket, contractual relations concerning the respective events are only entered into between the customer and the respective promoter. These contractual relations might be governed by (additional) terms and conditions of the respective promoter.
Where FKP Scorpio is also the promoter of events, the terms and conditions of Part B of these T&Cs apply. This also applies to ticket purchases made on other ticket platforms, ticket offices or by other ticket partners. In that case, additional terms and conditions of the respective ticket partner might apply.
Where tickets include transport services provided by third parties (e.g. transport associations), these transport services are governed by terms and conditions of these third parties. We ask customers to familiarize themselves with these terms and conditions. Any claims relating to the transport services have to be asserted against the respective third party transport provider.

1.    Scope of application
For all contracts and orders for the purchase of tickets, the following general terms and conditions exclusively apply in relation to FKP Scorpio.

2.    Conclusion of contracts, cancellation
2.1.    By clicking on the field “Buy now”, customers submit an offer to enter into a contract. The contract for the purchase of a ticket is concluded only if and when FKP Scorpio sends a confirmation e-mail containing a transaction number to the customer.
2.2.    Customers have to check whether their shipment is complete immediately upon receipt. Complaints will only be accepted up until seven days after receipt of a shipment or, if earlier, up until ten days after shipment of an order. Where FKP Scorpio is not the promoter of an event, FKP Scorpio does not accept any liability for the accuracy of the information contained in the online ticket shop.
2.3.    FKP Scorpio may cancel an order, even after a transaction number has already been sent to the customer (unilateral right of revocation), if a customer violates or tries to circumvent terms and conditions by the respective promoter or FKP Scorpio and which had been made available to the customer before the order (e.g. exceeding the limit of number of tickets per customer, violation of the conditions printed on the ticket, such as resale prohibition, circumvention of conditions by logging in with and using multiple user profiles, etc.). FKP Scorpio may give notice of the cancellation/revocation implicitly by refunding the sum paid by the customer.
2.4.    The aforementioned cancellation/revocation right is subject to Sec. 346 et seqq. of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch), except for Sec. 350 German Civil Code.
2.5.    Where an event is cancelled, curtailed, suspended, relocated, rescheduled or not performed in any other way, customers may only submit claims against the respective promoter. Where FKP Scorpio is the (co-) promoter of an event, customer claims are exclusively subject to Part B No. 1.1 below.

3.    Price components and payment methods
3.1.    Payment is possible by credit card (VISA, MasterCard, American Express), SEPA direct debit, PayPal or giropay, depending on the event and order modality. The statutory value added tax is included in the price. Payment for VISA and MasterCard will be processed by CTS EVENTIM Nederland B.V., Postbus 3096, 2130 KB Hoofddorp, The Netherlands.
Note on data transmission for credit card transactions using 3D-Secure: Due to legal requirements (implementation of the Payment Services Directive "PSD2") and/or to protect against fraudulent use of credit card data, the so-called 3D-Secure procedure can be used. This procedure involves the transmission of browser data, credit card data, address data (billing address, e-mail address), as well as the transaction amount with currency to the card-issuing institute via the credit card organizations. The card-issuing institute uses this data to determine the fraud risk of the transaction; depending on the amount and the result of the check by the credit institution, additional approval of the credit card transaction may be required, e.g., via TAN or app.
3.2.    Where customers order tickets via the internet, additional service fees and shipping costs may be charged, which may vary from event to event. Fees and costs will be specified in the shopping cart. Further costs will only apply if customers order additional features/extras, such as gift packaging; these costs will be specified and invoiced separately.
3.3.    Where FKP Scorpio distributes tickets on behalf of other promoters as agent or commission agent, contractual relations concerning the respective events are only entered into between the customer and the respective promoter. Claims for reimbursement of monies paid may only be made against the respective promoter. FKP Scorpio will not reimburse service fees and shipping costs as these are compensatory price components for services that have been rendered even if the ticket price is reimbursed.

4.    No right of withdrawal 
A right of withdrawal does not exist for contracts for the provision of services in the fields of accommodation other than for residential purposes, transport of goods, car rental services, deliveries of food and beverages, or services related to leisure activities, if the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance (Sec. 312g para. 2 sent. 1 no. 9 German Civil Code).
A ticket order is an offer to enter into a contract providing for a specific date or period of performance for services related to leisure activities. A right of withdrawal does not exist for festival and concert tickets; this includes all kinds of tickets, e.g. tickets for concerts, day passes for festivals, or festival passes including camping/caravan space.
Each order of tickets is thus binding immediately after confirmation by FKP Scorpio and the customer is obliged to pay for the ticket order.

5.    Upgrades and exchange of tickets
5.1.    Upgrades from a lower to a higher category of tickets can only be issued if the higher category of tickets has not been sold out when customers request an upgrade. Any request for an upgrade has to be made in writing and needs to be confirmed by FKP Scorpio. Aside from the surcharge amounting to the price difference between the two tickets, FKP Scorpio will charge a handling fee of EUR 10,- (incl. VAT).
5.2.    FKP Scorpio is not obliged to exchange tickets for other tickets of the same or equivalent categories of tickets upon request by the customer. Any request for an exchange of tickets has to be made in writing and needs to be confirmed by FKP Scorpio. FKP Scorpio will charge a handling fee of EUR 10,- (incl. VAT) for any ticket exchange.

6.    Retention of ownerhip, set-off, right of retention where purchase based on invoice
6.1.    Where customers are consumers, FKP Scorpio retains ownership of the purchased item until the invoiced amount has been paid in full. Where tickets are personalized, the transfer of any claims arising from the ticket ownership is subject to the payment of invoiced amount in full. Any corresponding security rights are transferable to third parties.
6.2.    Where customers are not consumers, but entrepreneurs, legal entities under public laws or a special fund under public laws, FKP Scorpio retains title to the purchased item until all outstanding claims arising from the business relationship with the customer have been settled in full. Where tickets are personalized, the transfer of any claim arising from the ticket ownership are subject to the settlement of any outstanding claims from the business relationship with the customer. Any corresponding security rights are transferable to third parties. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal personality who or which, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in exercise of his or its trade, business or profession.
6.3.    Customers are only entitled to set-off and/or retention if their counterclaims and/or rights have been established in a binding manner or are undisputed or have been acknowledged by FKP Scorpio. Moreover, customers are only entitled to retention if and insofar their counterclaims are based on the same contractual relationship.
6.4.    If customers are in arrears with any payment obligations towards FKP Scorpio, any existing claims will become due immediately.
6.5.    Insofar as claims of FKP Scorpio against customers are not only temporarily secured with more than 110 %, FKP Scorpio will upon request by the customer release securities up to the aforementioned limit.

7.    Limitation of liability, no cancellation for certain breaches of duty
7.1.    FKP Scorpio is fully liable, in any case, under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), for intentionally or grossly negligently caused damages, fraudulent concealment of defects, and for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health.
7.2.    Furthermore, FKP Scorpio is liable if and insofar as FKP Scorpio has issued a guarantee and such guarantee is breached.
7.3.    Where FKP Scorpio breaches essential contractual obligations with simple negligence and is not liable pursuant to the aforementioned number 7.1 or 7.2, its liability is limited to foreseeable and contractually typical damages. Essential contractual obligations are those which are prerequisite to the performance of the contract and in the compliance of which customers can and will regularly rely.
7.4.    If and insofar FKP is not liable under the aforementioned numbers 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3, FKP Scorpio is not liable for simple negligence.
7.5.    The aforementioned exclusions and limitations of liability also apply with regards to its organs, employees and vicarious agents as well as any personal liability of organs, employees and vicarious agents. They also apply to the liability of any co-promoters of FKP Scorpio.

8.    Prohibition to commercially reseell tickets
Customers may not resell tickets commercially. Customers may not resell tickets privately at a price higher than the price printed on the tickets plus any fees that had been charged upon purchase of the tickets. Upon breach of any of these prohibitions, the ticket will cease to be valid, it will not grant the ticket holder the right to access the respective event, and FKP Scorpio is entitled to seize the ticket without compensation of the ticket price.

9.    Prohibition to use tickets for lotteries/raffles
Customers may only use tickets for lotteries/raffles with consent by FKP Scorpio. Upon breach of any of these prohibitions, the ticket will cease to be valid, it will not grant the ticket holder the right to access the respective event, and FKP Scorpio is entitled to seize the ticket without compensation of the ticket price. Moreover, for each individual violation of this prohibition, FKP Scorpio may at reasonable discretion impose an appropriate contractual penalty to be paid by the customer, which in the event of dispute may be reviewed for its appropriateness by the competent court. In the event of permanent violations, repeated contractual penalties may be imposed. Other claims by FKP Scorpio shall remain unaffected by contractual penalties, but the penalties shall be offset against any corresponding claim for damages. 

10.    Applicable laws, place of performance, jurisdiction, out-of-court settlement of disputes
10.1.    The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively, with the exception of German provisions on conflict of laws and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Irrespective of the abovementioned choice of law, consumers with a habitual residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany may always invoke provisions from which, according to the laws of their country of habitual residence, no deviation by agreement may be made; this does not apply to contracts for the provision of services, under which services provided to the consumer have to be exclusively in the Federal Republic of Germany.
10.2.    The sole place of performance, including delivery, service and payment, shall be Hamburg, provided that the customer is an entrepreneur, a legal entity under public laws or a special fund under public laws.
10.3.    Where customers are entrepreneurs, legal entities under public laws or special funds under public laws with residence (e.g. head office, main branch, etc.) in the Federal Republic of Germany, the courts of Hamburg shall have exclusive (including international) jurisdiction for disputes arising directly or indirectly from the contractual relationship between the customer and FKP Scorpio. Where customers do not have their domicile in the Federal Republic of Germany and are not consumers, the courts of Hamburg shall have exclusive (including international) jurisdiction for such disputes. In addition, Hamburg shall be the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all other disputes where the customer is not domiciled in the Federal Republic of Germany. However, all abovementioned choices of jurisdiction are only exclusive insofar as no other exclusive jurisdiction is binding by laws. In any case, FKP Scorpio is also entitled to sue customers at the place of their general jurisdiction or at another place of national or international jurisdiction.
10.4.    Consumers, i.e. all natural persons who enter into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside his trade, business or profession, shall note the following:
•    The European Commission has made available a platform for online dispute resolution here since 15 February 2016. The email address of FKP Scorpio is: info@fkpscorpio.com
•    If consumers have not purchased tickets on the internet, we note that we will not participate in any out-of-court dispute resolution procedures.

11.     Conditions of FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH for the additional product "Merchbundles" 
These conditions apply in addition to the general terms and conditions of FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH ("FKP Scorpio") for the purchase of a festival pass in combination with various merchandise items ("merch bundles"). With regard to the merchandise items in the merch bundle, contractual relationships are not established with FKP Scorpio, but with FKP Eventservice GmbH, Große Elbstraße 277a, 22767 Hamburg (“FKP Eventservice”). In this respect, FKP Scorpio only acts as an intermediary in a contract aimed at concluding the purchase of the merchandise items.

1.    General Terms for FKP Scorpio-Events
1.1.    Cancellation / curtailment / interruption / relocation / rescheduling
1.1.1.    Events may be cancelled, curtailed, interrupted, relocated or rescheduled, even after they have begun. Please inform yourself whether the event will take place as scheduled before departure for the event.
1.1.2.    Our liability in the event of cancellation, curtailment, interruption, relocation, rescheduling or other material changes (as defined in the following number 1.1.3.) to FKP Scorpio-Events is limited to refunding the price printed on the ticket. Personal arrangements made by the ticket holder/guests, including travel to the FKP Scorpio-Festival and accommodation (outside accommodation on the Festival Site) are made at their own expense and risk; we od not refund such expenditures. For the limitation of liability in this number, the conditions of Part A No. 7 apply accordingly.
1.1.3.    A change is material where it makes the event a substantially different event than what a ticket holder/guest may reasonably expect. Changes to the line-up of a festival, including the omission of individual artists without a replacement, do not constitute a material change; this also applies to so-called “headliners”.
1.1.4.    Where an FKP Scorpio-Event is cancelled or postponed due to Force Majeure (as defined in the following number 1.1.5.), tickets remain valid; ticket holders are entitled to attend to the postponed or, where applicable, subsequent edition of the respective FKP Scorpio-Event – in particular, FKP Scorpio-Festival – (a subsequent edition of an event/festival hereinafter the “Subsequent Event”). The Subsequent Event will usually take place at the same time of the year in the next calendar year. FKP Scorpio will announce the exact date of the Subsequent Event on the festival website as quickly as possible, at the latest within two weeks after the cancellation or postponement of the event has been announce; this date may not be later than 13 months after the end of the cancelled/postponed event.
Ticket holders may, however, request a refund of the price printed on the ticket, if it is unreasonable for them to attend the Subsequent Event. In particular, it is unreasonable for ticket holders to attend the Subsequent Event if they have, at the time of the announcement of the date for the Subsequent Event, already
•    booked a vacation trip, bought tickets for a concert, festival, sport event or a similar event, or
•    planned a compulsory business trip that cannot be postponed or received a similar obligation arising from a service or employment relationship (such as on-call duty),
or
•    if the date of the Subsequent Event coincides with a birthday, wedding, anniversary of the ticket holder or a close relative (grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren).
Moreover, it is unreasonable for ticket holders to attend the Subsequent Event, if at the latest three months before the Subsequent Event, personal circumstances arise, which will most likely make attendance to the Subsequent Event unreasonable, such as:
•    illness or other health impairment,
•    operation, stay at a health resort or clinic, rehabilitation measure or comparable measures to restore or promote health,
•    obligation to care for close relatives (grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren).
Ticket holders have to assert that it is unreasonable for them to attend the Subsequent Event at the latest three months before the Subsequent Event so that FKP Scorpio can sell the ticket to another person. Ticket holders have to substantiate the circumstances that make attendance to the Subsequent Event unreasonable, as far as possible and as far as can reasonably be expected, e.g. by providing copies of travel documents. As far as ticket holders have been sent a (physical) ticket, a refund will only be made upon submission of the original ticket.
1.1.5.    Force Majeure is any event that is beyond control of FKP Scorpio. For example, force majeure exists in the event of war, civil war, war-like events, acts of terrorism, political unrest and/or the use of chemical, biological, biochemical substances and/or nuclear energy. Force majeure shall also be deemed to exist in the event of pandemics, epidemics, epidemics or similar risks of disease and/or in the event of natural disasters (storms, hurricanes, earthquakes or floods, etc.) or the consequences thereof. Furthermore, force majeure shall be deemed to exist in particular in the event of governmental, official or other public-law interventions and measures, such as orders, general decrees, etc., for which FKP Scorpio is not responsible, which prevent the event from being held and which did not already exist at the time the ticket was sold with effect for the date of the event. Force majeure shall be deemed to have occurred both when such an event has occurred and when such an event is reasonably likely to occur at the time of the event. The assessment as to whether a corresponding event has occurred or is imminent shall be made by FKP Scorpio, taking into account a reasonable period for examination and consideration, immediately after the event has become known, at its reasonable discretion, in particular taking into account the interests of the ticket holders.
1.1.6.    If an FKP Scorpio-Event is cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic or a similarly contagious disease at no fault of FKP Scorpio, FKP Scorpio will reschedule the FKP Scorpio-Event as far and as soon as possible. Tickets will remain valid. Furthermore, the conditions of the abovementioned numbers 1.1.1. through 1.1.5. apply.
1.1.7.    If at any time after commencement of the sale of tickets for an FKP Scorpio-Event, the maximum number of attendees/tickets sold for this festival is reduced due to Covid-19 pandemic or a similarly contagious disease and that maximum number has already been exceeded, FKP Scorpio may cancel tickets as far as necessary to arrive at that maximum number. The same applies to tickets granting access to certain areas of the FKP Scorpio-Event (e.g. backstage tickets). FKP Scorpio may also reallocate available seats within the same ticket category as deemed necessary, e.g. to safeguard sufficient distance between attendees, or assign attendees seats in higher ticket categories, or convert tickets for standing room into seating tickets and vice versa.
Where FKP Scorpio assigns attendees to a lower ticket category or converts standing into seating tickets (or vice versa), it will refund the price difference; moreover, ticket holders are entitled to cancel their ticket within an appropriate amount of time upon receipt of notice of assignment or conversion; the deadline is to be set by FKP Scorpio and ticket holders will be expressly notified about their cancellation right.
FKP Scorpio will determine the cancellation/reallocation/conversion of tickets by an appropriate, transparent and non-discriminatory procedure.
1.1.8.    Where tickets are cancelled, FKP Scorpio will refund the price printed on the ticket or, at the discretion of FKP Scorpio and in case promoters are entitled to do so by law, a voucher amounting to the price printed on the ticket. Ticket holders are not entitled to any further compensation or reimbursement of expenses (e.g. for cancellation costs/fees for travel or accommodation arrangements). Furthermore, the conditions on the limitation of liability of Part A No. 7 apply.
1.1.9.    Any additional legal rights of FKP Scorpio (e.g. based on statutory law mitigating the consequences of the Covid-19-pandemic in event contract law) remain unaffected and continue to apply.

1.2.    Liability of FKP Scorpio and, where applicable, co-promoters
Any contractual and legal liability of FKP Scorpio is excluded, unless
•    for damages caused by FKP Scorpio intentionally or with gross negligence,
•    for cases of (mild or simple) negligence of FKP Scorpio for damages due to injury to life, body or health,
•    for mild or simple violations by FKP Scorpio of essential contractual obligations; essential contractual obligations are obligations the fulfillment of which is necessary for properly executing the contract and the compliance with which ticket holders/guests regularly rely upon and may rely upon.
In cases of simple or mildly negligent violations of essential contractual obligations, the liability of FKP Scorpio is – except for damages due to injury of life, body or health – limited to the contractually typical damages foreseeable FKP Scorpio upon conclusion of the contract or at the time of the breach of duty. To that end, the liability of FKP Scorpio for damages within the ticket holders’/guests’ risk area is excluded.
The above limitations and exclusions of liability also apply to the liability of FKP Scorpio for its organs, employees and vicarious agents as well as the personal liability of these organs, employees and vicarious agents. They also apply to the liability of co-promoters, where applicable.

1.3.    Cameras, recording equipment, image and sound recordings
When attending FKP Scorpio-Events, it is only permitted to carry small-format cameras and mobile phones with camera function. It is not permitted to carry reflex cameras, cameras with zoom lenses or any kind of video function, video cameras and audio recorders of all kinds, such as tape recorders, MP3-recorders and dictation devices. FKP Scorpio may deny visitors entry to the venue if visitors are not willing to hand over the equipment at the entrance. FKP Scorpio is not obliged to store the equipment, which has been handed over. Visitors can deposit equipment either in lockers at the entrance or in their vehicles. FKP Scorpio does neither guarantee that lockers will be available and/or empty for use at the entrance. An additional fee is payable for using lockers. Claims against FKP Scorpio based on unauthorized removal of equipment from the lockers are excluded, unless for intentional or grossly negligent behavior by FKP Scorpio.

Any an all rights to record sound and image of the event are exclusively reserved by FKP Scorpio for the purpose of commercial exploitation. No one may record, broadcast and/or make publicly available recordings for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of FKP Scorpio. In particular, this includes the distribution of recordings directly via the internet.

1.4.    Consent to record and use sound and image
FKP Scorpio will record, livestream and photograph the event and will produce audio and audiovisual recordings. These may include the audience. By entering a venue – where the event is an FKP Scorpio-Festival: the Festival Site –, visitors irrevocably consent to the free use of portrait and voice for photographs, (live) broadcast and/or recordings of images and/or sound recordings by FKP Scorpio in connection with the event and their subsequent exploitation in all current and future media (in particular, such as in the form of audio an video carriers as well as digital distribution, e.g. via the internet). In particular, this means that visitors grant FKP Scorpio the right, unlimited in time, place and content, to record images, voice, actions and/or statements by the visitor in any form without separate consent of visitors and to reproduce, broadcast, make publicly accessible and/or distribute in any other form for any commercial and non-commercial purposes. This also includes the assignments of these rights to third parties, such as agents and licensees of FKP Scorpio.

1.5.    Exclusion of visitors
If there is a compelling reason, in particular if visitors commit a crime (e.g. assault, theft, drug trafficking) or set fireworks, on the event site – where the event is an FKP Scorpio-Festival: the Festival Site –, FKP Scorpio may exclude them from the event immediately. In case FKP Scorpio makes use of the right to exclude visitors, the visitors’ ticket/festival wristband loses its validity. Any claim for renewed admission or reimbursement of the ticket price is excluded.

1.6.    Hearing impairments
FKP Scorpio is only liable for hearing impairments caused by intent, gross negligence, or a breach of a public safety duty. Visitors should avoid standing in immediate proximity to loudspeakers; corresponding barriers need to be observed at all times. Standing in immediate proximity to loudspeakers or beyond such barriers is at the visitors’ own risk. In any case, we highly recommend using earplugs, in particular near the stages.

1.7.    For FKP Scorpio-Festivals: (Re-) admission to a Festival Site
During first admission to a Festival Site, tickets will be validated and visitors will receive a wristband with a fastened clasp (“festival wristband”). Upon re-admission to the Festival Site, visitors need to present the undamaged festival wristband with original clasp; otherwise, they will not be granted admission.

1.8.    For FKP Scorpio-Festivals: Security checks and searches
Upon admission to a Festival Site, security staff appointed by FKP Scorpio will perform a security check and search for reasons of public safety and waste prevention. Certain items may not be brought onto and/or carried on Festival Sites (e.g., weapons, drugs, etc.). A complete list of prohibited items in its current validity can be found on the respective festival website (Hurricane Festival). Any violation of the prohibition to carry one or several prohibited items may lead to FKP Scorpio denying admission to the Festival Site, unless visitors hand over these items at the entrance to the Festival Site and agree – at least by implication at the handover – that these items might be disposed of. FKP Scorpio is not obliged to store these items; any claims for disposing of prohibited items are excluded.
It is strictly forbidden to store prohibited items in the lockers at the entrance of a Festival Site.
The security staff may ask visitors on the Festival Site whether they carry prohibited items if there is reasonable suspicion. If visitors are unable to dispel such suspicion, the security staff may search for prohibited items.
The security staff may also conduct additional security checks and searches if visitors move from one area of a Festival Site to another.

1.9.    For FKP Scorpio-Festivals: Admission / “yellow wristband”
The rules for admission of children and adolescents under 18 years of age can be found on the website of the respective festival website (Hurricane Festival).
In addition, the statutory provisions of the German Youth Protection Act (Jugendschutzgesetz) apply.
If visitors materially violate any of these General Terms or of the House Rules, FKP may exchange the festival wristband for a “yellow wristband”. Visitors with a “yellow wristband” must leave the Festival Site. They are only eligible for re-admission the next day if the security staff concludes after having had a conversation with the visitors that they redeemed and will now respect the General Terms and the House Rules. In case of a second imposition of a “yellow wristband”, FKP Scorpio may exclude visitors from admission altogether. In neither of the aforementioned cases, there will be a refund of the ticket price.

1.10.    For FKP Scorpio-Festivals: Loss of festival wristband
If visitors lose their festival wristband without FKP being responsible for the loss, they will not receive a new wristband and the ticket price will not be refunded.

1.11.    For FKP Scorpio-Festivals: Camping and using the Camping Area
It is only allowed to camp within designated Camping Areas. It is forbidden to camp outside these Camping Areas, in particular within the Event Area. Wild camping is prohibited and will be prosecuted. FKP will not open all Camping Areas of a festival simultaneously, but as needed and step by step.
The opening days/hours of the Camping Area can be found on the website of the respective festival website (Hurricane Festival). At closure of the Camping Areas, visitors have to clear the area. Where visitors leave items within the Camping Area after closure, FKP Scorpio may dispose of these items. FKP Scorpio is not obliged to store items left within the Camping Area after closure.
Environmental protection and the principles of waste prevention and correct disposal must be observed. Due to the resulting fire hazard, it is not permitted to build fireplaces within the Festival Site, most importantly within the Camping and Caravan Areas.
In addition, the House Rules apply (Sec. 3 and 4).

1.12.    For FKP Scorpio-Festivals: Arrival of visitors, parking, towing, allocation of parking spaces
Visitors are responsible for their travel to the festival and will park their vehicles at their own risk. Vehicles may only be parked on designated Parking Areas and/or parking spaces; additional fees might apply. Wild parking is forbidden and will be prosecuted. FKP Scorpio specifically notes that Parking and Camping Areas are separate.

There is no claim for a specific parking/camping/caravan space. Spaces will be allocated by the security staff. In any case, escape and rescue routes must always be kept clear.

FKP Scorpio notes that Parking Areas might be meadow and/or arable land. The trafficability of these areas might be difficult/restricted due to weather conditions.

FKP Scorpio does not accept any liability for towing of vehicles by third parties. We do not offer towing services, but can contact a tow truck free of charge for visitors. For safety reasons, tow trucks will only be contacted during daylight. FKP Scorpio does not accept any liability for the selection of the tow truck and does specifically not guarantee that the tow truck is (part of) an approved towing company. Visitors are obliged to conduct towing their vehicles independently. Asking a tow truck – whether or not it had been contacted by FKP Scorpio – to tow their vehicle is at the visitors’ own responsibility and risk. FKP Scorpio specifically notes that towing vehicles with vehicles that are not designed for towing (e.g. tractors) might result in damages at their vehicles.

In addition, parking and camping instructions published on the website of the respective festival website (Hurricane Festival) apply.
In addition, the House Rules apply (Sec. 3 and 4).

1.13.    For FKP Scorpio-Festivals: Using Caravan Areas („TrailerPark“)
For designated Caravan Areas of the Festival Site, the following terms and conditions apply in addition: It is allowed to sleep in certain vehicles within Caravan Areas. A list of allowed vehicles can be found on the website of the respective festival website (Hurricane Festival). Entering and parking vehicles is only allowed after a valid caravan ticket has been purchased and a caravan sticker with a mobile phone number of the ticket holder has been placed clearly visible onto the windscreen of the vehicle. Camping in tents is not allowed within Caravan Areas.

As it is not possible to check whether the vehicle is allowed for Caravan Areas, FKP Scorpio may deny access to Caravan Areas to vehicles that do not fall under the abovementioned category of allowed vehicles.

If a minor wishes to rent a Power Claim, written consent of the legal representative(s) must be provided.
In these conditions, FKP Scorpio will be referred to as lessor and the renting person as lessee. For ease of readability, where applicable, we will use the female or the plural form. These terms refer to persons of all genders and of the singular form.

2.    Offer and conclusion of the contract
Power Claims are available while stocks last. We do not accept any liability for possible misrepresentations on the website. We reserve the right to amend the representations on the website. Any information given orally, by telephone or by e-mail is non-binding information. The terms of the lease contract are set by the acceptance of an offer made by the lessee, which FKP Scorpio will declare by sending a Power Claim-ticket by post or e-mail and, where applicable, a Power Claim-sticker by post.

3.    Ticket (acceptance of the Power Claim lease contract)
The Power Claim-ticket sent by post or e-mail and, where applicable, the Power Claim-sticker sent by post entitle the lessee to use a (parking) space within the Trailer Park with a power connection (of up to 2,000 watts). The Power Claim-ticket (or, where applicable, the Power Claim-sticker) must be presented at the entrance to the Trailer Park. Traffic staff or security staff designated by FKP Scorpio will assign the ticket holder to their (parking) space according to the number on the Power Claim-ticket (or, where applicable, on the Power Claim-sticker), provided that the vehicle is eligible for parking within the Trailer Park pursuant to the General Terms and Conditions (which can be found here) and the current list of allowed vehicles (which can be found here).
For entering the Festival Site, visitors do not only need a Power Claim-ticket or -sticker, but also a chargeable Festival Pass.
The Power Claim-ticket and, where applicable, the Power Claim-sticker are not transferable (in particular, no subleasing or other transfer of use to third parties) and the assigned Power Claim cannot be changed after the lease contract has been accepted by FKP Scorpio.

4.    Lease term
The Power Claim will be leased for a maximum of four nights from the beginning of the festival. At the earliest, the lessee will be granted access to the Power Claim at the official opening of the Camping Areas; the opening hours will be published on the website of the festival (Hurricane Festival) and in the festival app.
On the day of departure, the Power Claim needs to be made available by 12 o’clock at the latest.

5.    Use of the power connection
The lessor will only provide a power connection. The lessee will need to bring an appropriate cable (16 ampere, 2.5 mm² cable cross-section, minimum of 50 meters in length). For reasons of safety, the power connections are capped at 2,000 watts per connection.
The power will be generated locally are might therefore be susceptible to disturbances and voltage fluctuations. The lessor assumes no liability for the use of the power connection and for potential defects in equipment caused by voltage fluctuations or outages. The lessor further reserves the right to (temporarily or fully) shut down or interrupt the power supply for compelling or safety reasons.
By purchasing the Power Claim-ticket, the lessee confirms that she has sufficient knowledge to use the power connection safely and responsibly. The lessor is obliged to protect the power connection from liquids of any kind and to immediately report any problems with the power connections to the security staff.
The power connection may only be used for supplying power to vehicles. It is forbidden to connect multiple sockets.

6.    House Rules / termination without notice
We note that Camping and Caravan Areas are subject to House Rules, which can be found on the website of the festival (Hurricane Festival).
In case the lessee violates the House Rules or violates the terms of the lease contract of the Power Claim (including these conditions), such as by subletting the Power Claim or using the power connection for purposes other than supplying vehicles, and if it cannot reasonably be expected for the lessor to continue the lease contract, the lessor may terminate the contract without notice.

7.    Liability of the lessor
Any contractual and statutory liability of the lessor for damages of any kind is excluded, unless for
•    for damages caused by the lessor intentionally or with gross negligence,
•    for cases of (mild or simple) negligence of the lessor for damages due to injury to life, body or health,
•    for mild or simple violations by the lessor io of essential contractual obligations; essential contractual obligations are obligations the fulfillment of which is necessary for properly executing the contract and the compliance with which visitors regularly rely upon and may rely upon.
In cases of simple or mildly negligent violations of essential contractual obligations, the liability of the lessor is – except for damages due to injury of life, body or health – limited to the contractually typical damages foreseeable for the lessor upon conclusion of the contract or at the time of the breach of duty.
The above limitations and exclusions of liability also apply to the liability of the lessor for its organs, employees and vicarious agents as well as the personal liability of these organs, employees and vicarious agents. They also apply to the liability of co-promoters, where applicable.

8.    Cancellation of a Power Claim purchased in addition to a Festival Pass
The lessee may cancel a Power Claim purchased in addition to a Festival Pass at any time before the start of the festival. The cancellation needs to be declared towards the lessor. The lessee needs to declare unambiguously whether she wishes to cancel the Power Claim and the Festival Pass or only the Power Claim. We recommend a cancellation notice on a durable data carrier (e.g. letter, fax or e-mail).
If the lessee cancels both the Festival Pass and the additional Power Claim, the Lessor loses the claim for the price for the Festival Pass and the Power Claim. If the lessee only cancels the Power Claim, the lessor only loses the claim for the price for the Power Claim.
In both cases, the lessor may claim reasonable compensation instead of the ticket price(s). The lessor may not claim compensation if she is responsible for the cancellation or if unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occur at the destination or in its immediate vicinity, which significantly impair the event or the transportation of visitors to the destination. Circumstances are unavoidable and extraordinary if they are beyond the control of the lessor and if their consequences could not have been avoided even if all reasonable precautions had been taken.
The lessor makes of her option to set a lump sum for reasonable compensation. The following lump sums represent the price for the Power Claim minus expenses saved by the lessor and minus the value of what the lessor receives through other use of her services. The lump sums take into consideration the time period between cancellation notice and start of the festival. At the request of the lessee, the lessor shall justify the amount of reasonable compensation.

The following lump sums apply in case the lessee cancels both the Festival Pass and the Power Claim:

a.    Power Claim 
In case of cancellation notice
•    up until 30 calendar days before the start of the festival: 20%,
•    from 29 until 15 calendar days before the start of the festival: 60%,
•    from 14 until 3 calendar days before the start of the festival: 80%,
•    from 2 calendar days before the start of the festival: 95%.

b.    Festival Pass
The price for the Festival Pass purchased along the Power Claim is not taken into account when calculating the above compensation lump sums. The lessee has to pay compensation in the amount of the full price for the Festival Pass.
If the lessee only cancels the Power Claim, only the lump sums under letter a. apply. No compensation for the Festival Pass has to be paid; the Festival Pass remains valid.
In all cases, the lessee is permitted to prove that the reasonable compensation for the lessor should be less than the lump sums specified above.
The lessor reserves the right to demand compensation higher than the lump sums specified above based on an individual calculation, if she can prove that she has incurred significantly higher expenses than the respective compensation lump sum. In that case, the lessor is obliged to quantify and justify the compensation, taking into account saved expenses and what she receives through other use of her services

9.    Cancellation of a Power Claim without a Festival Pass
The lessee may cancel a Power Claim purchased without a Festival Pass at any time before the start of the festival. In that case, the abovementioned conditions for a cancellation of a Power Claim of No. 8 apply accordingly.

10.    Cancellation by the lessor
The lessor reserves the right to cancel the lease contract of a Power Claim up until 14 calendar days before the beginning of the festival (i.e. of the lease period), in case the number of bookings is insufficient. In that case, payments will be refunded in full.

11.    Cancellation due to Force Majeure // Covid-19
Where the festival is cancelled or postponed due to Force Majeure (as defined in the following), Power Claim-tickets remain valid; ticket holders are entitled to attend to the postponed or, where applicable, subsequent edition of the festival (hereinafter the “Subsequent Event”). The Subsequent Event will usually take place at the same time of the year in the next calendar year. FKP Scorpio will announce the exact date of the Subsequent Event on the festival website as quickly as possible, at the latest within two weeks after the cancellation or postponement of the event has been announce; this date may not be later than 13 months after the end of the cancelled/postponed event.
Ticket holders may, however, request a refund of the price printed on the ticket, if it is unreasonable for them to attend the Subsequent Event. In particular, it is unreasonable for ticket holders to attend the Subsequent Event if they have, at the time of the announcement of the date for the Subsequent Event, already
•    booked a vacation trip, bought tickets for a concert, festival, sport event or a similar event, or
•    planned a compulsory business trip that cannot be postponed or received a similar obligation arising from a service or employment relationship (such as on-call duty),
or
•    if the date of the Subsequent Event coincides with a birthday, wedding, anniversary of the ticket holder or a close relative (grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren).
Moreover, it is unreasonable for ticket holders to attend the Subsequent Event, if at the latest three months before the Subsequent Event, personal circumstances arise, which will most likely make attendance to the Subsequent Event unreasonable, such as:
•    illness or other health impairment,
•    operation, stay at a health resort or clinic, rehabilitation measure or comparable measures to restore or promote health,
•    obligation to care for close relatives (grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren).
Ticket holders have to assert that it is unreasonable for them to attend the Subsequent Event at the latest three months before the Subsequent Event so that FKP Scorpio can sell the ticket to another person. Ticket holders have to substantiate the circumstances that make attendance to the Subsequent Event unreasonable, as far as possible and as far as can reasonably be expected, e.g. by providing copies of travel documents. As far as ticket holders have been sent a (physical) ticket, a refund will only be made upon submission of the original ticket.
Force Majeure is any event that is beyond control of FKP Scorpio. For example, force majeure exists in the event of war, civil war, war-like events, acts of terrorism, political unrest and/or the use of chemical, biological, biochemical substances and/or nuclear energy. Force majeure shall also be deemed to exist in the event of pandemics, epidemics, epidemics or similar risks of disease and/or in the event of natural disasters (storms, hurricanes, earthquakes or floods, etc.) or the consequences thereof. Furthermore, force majeure shall be deemed to exist in particular in the event of governmental, official or other public-law interventions and measures, such as orders, general decrees, etc., for which FKP Scorpio is not responsible, which prevent the event from being held and which did not already exist at the time the ticket was sold with effect for the date of the event. Force majeure shall be deemed to have occurred both when such an event has occurred and when such an event is reasonably likely to occur at the time of the event. The assessment as to whether a corresponding event has occurred or is imminent shall be made by FKP Scorpio, taking into account a reasonable period for examination and consideration, immediately after the event has become known, at its reasonable discretion, in particular taking into account the interests of the ticket holders.
If the festival is cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic or a similarly contagious disease at no fault of FKP Scorpio, FKP Scorpio will reschedule the festival as far and as soon as possible. Power Claim-tickets will remain valid. Furthermore, the conditions of the abovementioned numbers paragraphs apply.

12.    Legal relationship
The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively, with the exception of German provisions on conflict of laws and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Irrespective of the abovementioned choice of law, consumers with a habitual residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany may always invoke provisions from which, according to the laws of their country of habitual residence, no deviation by agreement may be made; this does not apply to contracts for the provision of services, under which services provided to the consumer have to be exclusively in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Consumers, i.e. all natural persons who enter into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside his trade, business or profession, shall note the following:
•    The European Commission has made available a platform for online dispute resolution here since 15 February 2016. The email address of FKP Scorpio is: info@fkpscorpio.com

For using the tent room, a security deposit in the amount of EUR 150,- per lodge tent will be charged. The security deposit has to be paid prior to check-in. FKP Scorpio will ask the lessee after conclusion of the lease contract to pay the security deposit via the shopping cart of the online shop. If the security deposit has not been paid prior to check-in, the lessee cannot claim use of the tent room.
Claims for defects that are discovered upon return of the tent room will be offset against the security deposit. The (remaining) security deposit will be refunded as quickly as possible after the end of the festival to the payment option used by the lessee to pay the security deposit.

5.    Check-in
When first entering the resort / comfort camping area, the ticket for the festival (Festival Pass) and the tent room -ticket will be validated and the lessee and her fellow travelers will receive a festival wristband. In addition, they will be allocated to the booked tent room.
We note that visitors staying in a tent room are subject to the statutory registration obligations pursuant to Sec. 29, 30 of the Federal Registration Act (Bundesmeldegesetz). Special registration forms will be provided in the tent rooms and need to be filled out, signed in writing and handed in at the reception desk without undue delay after check-in.

6.    Use of the tent room / lease term
The tent room will be leased for a maximum of four nights after the beginning of the festival. At the earliest, the lessee will be granted access to the tent room at the official opening of the Camping Areas; the opening hours will be published on the website of the festival (Hurricane Festival) and in the festival app. On the day of departure, the tent room needs to be made available by 12 o’clock at the latest.
The tent room comprises inventory, which needs to be handled with care at all times. It is forbidden to smoke in tent room. It is also forbidden to change the tent room or to carry the tent room to another location without prior approval. Any costs for restoring a tent room need to be paid by the lessee.
The lessee needs to check the condition of the tent room and the inventory, including its completeness, immediately after check-in. If the lessee does not raise a corresponding complaint without undue delay, but at the latest 30 minutes after check-in, the condition of the tent room and the inventory, including its completeness, are deemed to be accepted by the lessee.
Any defects of the tent room or the inventory that occur during the lease term need to be paid by the lessee at cost price, irrespective of responsibility and of whether the cost price exceeds the security deposit specified in No. 6. The lessee is responsible for damages caused by her fellow travelers. This does not include staining due to weather conditions and damages, for which neither the lessee nor other people are responsible, such as damages caused by thunderstorms or hail. However, if the tent room is heavily stained upon return and the lessee has not cleaned the tent room, the lessor is entitled to deduct an appropriate cleaning lump sum from the security deposit.

7.    Use of the power connection
For reasons of safety, power connections are capped at a maximum power of 1,000 watts per socket.
The power will be generated locally are might therefore be susceptible to disturbances and voltage fluctuations. The lessor assumes no liability for the use of the power connection and for potential defects in equipment caused by voltage fluctuations or outages. The lessor further reserves the right to (temporarily or fully) shut down or interrupt the power supply for compelling or safety reasons.
The lessor is obliged to protect the power connection from liquids of any kind and to immediately report any problems with the power connections to the security staff.

8.    WiFi
The lessor provides each guest in a tent room with one WiFi ticket. Per ticket, at most one WiFi-ready device can access the internet. The lessor provides the WiFi network on "greenfield sites" and can therefore not guarantee a 100% functioning wireless network at all times. The lessor does not assume any liability for temporary failures of the wireless network or the internet connection. The lessor may restrict, block or switch off the internet access of the lessee and her fellow travelers and may further, at her own discretion, restrict access to certain sites or services (e.g. violence, porn, or paid pages). 
We note that that the traffic produced by using the internet network might be unencrypted under certain circumstances. The data might therefore be viewable for third parties. The wireless network only allows access to the internet. The contents retrieved are not verified by the lessor, in particular whether they contain malicious software (viruses, trojans, worms, etc.). We want to specifically emphasize that there is a risk of malicious software being transferred to the devices using the WiFi network. Using the WiFi network is at the own risk of the lessee and her fellow travelers.
All access data made available (user names, passwords, character combinations) are intended only for personal use of the lessee and her fellow traveler, and must not be disclosed to third parties. The lessee is obliged to keep his access data secret. The lessee further assumes liability towards the lessor for using the WiFi network in a manner compliant with statutory laws. The lessee and her fellow travelers are responsible for data transferred, the (paid) services used as well as all any legal transactions entered into via the WiFi network. 
In particular, the lessee and her fellow travelers agree:
•    not to use the WiFi network for the dissemination and retrieval of immoral or illegal content; 
•    not to reproduce any copyrighted goods illegally, spreading or making them accessible; 
•    to observe the applicable youth protection regulations; 
•    not to send or distribute any harassing, libelous or threatening content; and 
•    not to use the internet network for sending mass messages (spam) and/or other forms of inappropriate advertising use.

9.    House Rules / termination without notice
We note that Camping and Caravan Areas are subject to House Rules, which can be found on the website of the festival (Hurricane Festival).
In case the lessee violates the House Rules or violates the terms of the lease contract of the tent room (including these conditions), such as by subletting the tent room or damaging the tent room/inventory willfully, and if it cannot reasonably be expected for the lessor to continue the lease contract, the lessor may terminate the contract without notice.

10.    Liability of the lessor
Any contractual and statutory liability of the lessor for damages of any kind is excluded, unless for
•    for damages caused by the lessor intentionally or with gross negligence,
•    for cases of (mild or simple) negligence of the lessor for damages due to injury to life, body or health,
•    for mild or simple violations by the lessor io of essential contractual obligations; essential contractual obligations are obligations the fulfillment of which is necessary for properly executing the contract and the compliance with which visitors regularly rely upon and may rely upon.
In cases of simple or mildly negligent violations of essential contractual obligations, the liability of the lessor is – except for damages due to injury of life, body, or health – limited to the contractually typical damages foreseeable for the lessor upon conclusion of the contract or at the time of the breach of duty.
The above limitations and exclusions of liability also apply to the liability of the lessor for its organs, employees, and vicarious agents as well as the personal liability of these organs, employees and vicarious agents. They also apply to the liability of co-promoters, where applicable.

11.    Cancellation of a tent room leased in addition to a Festival Pass
The lessee may cancel a tent room leased in addition to a Festival Pass at any time before the start of the festival. The cancellation needs to be declared towards the lessor. The lessee needs to declare unambiguously whether she wishes to cancel the tent room lease and the Festival Pass or only the tent room lease. We recommend a cancellation notice on a durable data carrier (e.g. letter, fax or e-mail).
If the lessee cancels both the Festival Pass and the additional tent room lease, the Lessor loses the claim for the price for the Festival Pass and the tent room lease. If the lessee only cancels the tent room lease, the lessor only loses the claim for the price for the tent room lease.
In both cases, the lessor may claim reasonable compensation instead of the ticket price(s). The lessor may not claim compensation if she is responsible for the cancellation or if unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occur at the destination or in its immediate vicinity, which significantly impair the event or the transportation of visitors to the destination. Circumstances are unavoidable and extraordinary if they are beyond the control of the lessor and if their consequences could not have been avoided even if all reasonable precautions had been taken.
The lessor makes of her option to set a lump sum for reasonable compensation. The following lump sums represent the price for the tent room lease minus expenses saved by the lessor and minus the value of what the lessor receives through other use of her services. The lump sums take into consideration the time period between cancellation notice and start of the festival. At the request of the lessee, the lessor shall justify the amount of reasonable compensation.

The following lump sums apply in case the lessee cancels both the Festival Pass and the tent room:

a.    Tent room
In case of cancellation notice
•    up until 30 calendar days before the start of the festival: 20%,
•    from 29 until 15 calendar days before the start of the festival: 60%,
•    from 14 until 3 calendar days before the start of the festival: 80%,
•    from 2 calendar days before the start of the festival: 95%.

b.    Festival Pass
The price for the Festival Pass purchased along the tent room lease is not taken into account when calculating the above compensation lump sums. The lessee has to pay compensation in the amount of the full price for the Festival Pass.
If the lessee only cancels the tent room lease, only the lump sums under letter a. apply. No compensation for the Festival Pass has to be paid; the Festival Pass remains valid.
In all cases, the lessee is permitted to prove that the reasonable compensation for the lessor should be less than the lump sums specified above.
The lessor reserves the right to demand compensation higher than the lump sums specified above based on an individual calculation, if she can prove that she has incurred significantly higher expenses than the respective compensation lump sum. In that case, the lessor is obliged to quantify and justify the compensation, taking into account saved expenses and what she receives through other use of her services

12.    Cancellation of a tent room lease without a Festival Pass
The lessee may cancel a tent room leased without a Festival Pass at any time before the start of the festival. In that case, the abovementioned conditions for a cancellation of a tent room lease of No. 11 apply accordingly.

13.    Cancellation by the lessor
The lessor reserves the right to cancel the lease contract of a tent room lease up until 14 calendar days before the beginning of the festival (i.e. of the lease period), in case the number of bookings is insufficient. In that case, payments will be refunded in full.

14.    Cancellation due to Force Majeure // Covid-19
Where the festival is cancelled or postponed due to Force Majeure (as defined in the following), tent room-tickets remain valid; ticket holders are entitled to attend to the postponed or, where applicable, subsequent edition of the festival (hereinafter the “Subsequent Event”). The Subsequent Event will usually take place at the same time of the year in the next calendar year. FKP Scorpio will announce the exact date of the Subsequent Event on the festival website as quickly as possible, at the latest within two weeks after the cancellation or postponement of the event has been announce; this date may not be later than 13 months after the end of the cancelled/postponed event.
Ticket holders may, however, request a refund of the price printed on the ticket, if it is unreasonable for them to attend the Subsequent Event. In particular, it is unreasonable for ticket holders to attend the Subsequent Event if they have, at the time of the announcement of the date for the Subsequent Event, already
•    booked a vacation trip, bought tickets for a concert, festival, sport event or a similar event, or
•    planned a compulsory business trip that cannot be postponed or received a similar obligation arising from a service or employment relationship (such as on-call duty),
or
•    if the date of the Subsequent Event coincides with a birthday, wedding, anniversary of the ticket holder or a close relative (grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren).
Moreover, it is unreasonable for ticket holders to attend the Subsequent Event, if at the latest three months before the Subsequent Event, personal circumstances arise, which will most likely make attendance to the Subsequent Event unreasonable, such as:
•    illness or other health impairment,
•    operation, stay at a health resort or clinic, rehabilitation measure or comparable measures to restore or promote health,
•    obligation to care for close relatives (grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren).
Ticket holders have to assert that it is unreasonable for them to attend the Subsequent Event at the latest three months before the Subsequent Event so that FKP Scorpio can sell the ticket to another person. Ticket holders have to substantiate the circumstances that make attendance to the Subsequent Event unreasonable, as far as possible and as far as can reasonably be expected, e.g. by providing copies of travel documents. As far as ticket holders have been sent a (physical) ticket, a refund will only be made upon submission of the original ticket.
Force Majeure is any event that is beyond control of FKP Scorpio. For example, force majeure exists in the event of war, civil war, war-like events, acts of terrorism, political unrest and/or the use of chemical, biological, biochemical substances and/or nuclear energy. Force majeure shall also be deemed to exist in the event of pandemics, epidemics, epidemics or similar risks of disease and/or in the event of natural disasters (storms, hurricanes, earthquakes or floods, etc.) or the consequences thereof. Furthermore, force majeure shall be deemed to exist in particular in the event of governmental, official or other public-law interventions and measures, such as orders, general decrees, etc., for which FKP Scorpio is not responsible, which prevent the event from being held and which did not already exist at the time the ticket was sold with effect for the date of the event. Force majeure shall be deemed to have occurred both when such an event has occurred and when such an event is reasonably likely to occur at the time of the event. The assessment as to whether a corresponding event has occurred or is imminent shall be made by FKP Scorpio, taking into account a reasonable period for examination and consideration, immediately after the event has become known, at its reasonable discretion, in particular taking into account the interests of the ticket holders.
If the festival is cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic or a similarly contagious disease at no fault of FKP Scorpio, FKP Scorpio will reschedule the festival as far and as soon as possible. Tent room-tickets will remain valid. Furthermore, the conditions of the abovementioned numbers paragraphs apply.

15.    Legal relationship
The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively, with the exception of German provisions on conflict of laws and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Irrespective of the abovementioned choice of law, consumers with a habitual residence outside the Federal Republic of Germany may always invoke provisions from which, according to the laws of their country of habitual residence, no deviation by agreement may be made; this does not apply to contracts for the provision of services, under which services provided to the consumer have to be exclusively in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Consumers, i.e. all natural persons who enter into a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly are outside his trade, business or profession, shall note the following:
•    The European Commission has made available a platform for online dispute resolution here since 15 February 2016. The email address of FKP Scorpio is: info@fkpscorpio.com
