("Samuel's") for the online purchase of tickets to its own events.
1.General
The sale of tickets ("e-tickets") for the
events offered by the online shop is exclusively subject to the General Terms and Conditions of Samuel's.
The Terms and Conditions constitute an integral part of the contract, which is created through the purchase of e-tickets. By ordering e-tickets, the customer mandates Samuel's to handle the purchase of tickets for the offered event, including shipping and payment.
2. Contractual Basis
The purchase of an e-ticket creates contractual relationships that exist exclusively between the ticket purchaser (the "visitor") and Samuel's. The offer to enter into a contract originates with the customer as soon as they have placed an order for a ticket online - by clicking on "BUY TICKETS".
The ticket or event contract with Samuel's comes
into effect with the sale or dispatch of the e-ticket. When visiting the event, separate terms and conditions of the relevant event apply, as do the house rules of the relevant business.
3. Services
Simultaneously with the purchase of the e-ticket, a contract is entered into between the customer and Samuel's
for the processing of the ticket purchase. Samuel's shall provide to the customer the delivery of the
e-ticket, depending on commitment to the relevant event through the transmission of an
e-ticket (e.g. PDF download) or printing-out of the e-ticket onto paper following its delivery by e-mail.
4. Prices and Fees
The ticket prices stated at the time of purchase are decisive. These are inclusive of statutory value-added tax.
When buying online the customer does not incur any extra advance sales fees. During the online booking process, the visitor confirms the final ticket prices and service fees listed there (for the payment methods specified in 5.1 and 5.2). Version of 11.10.2016.
5. Payment and service charges
5.1 SEPA direct debit without service fee per collection ticket or e-ticket order

The ticket is made unique through a printed 1D or 2D QR code.

Tickets are sold to end customers only. The commercial resale of tickets
is permitted solely with the express consent of Samuel's.

expressly stated or agreed otherwise.

Data for the recipient bank such as the IBAN number and recipient account number shall be required for this purpose.
The abandonment of a performance provides entitlement to the reimbursement of the price of the ticket only if the abandonment occurs before the first break or, if there is no break in the performance, before the mid-point of the intended duration of the performance has been reached.
