General terms and conditions

§ 1 Agency

Saxxevent is a full-service event agency. Saxxevent offers event concepts tailored to the specific requirements of the client, their delivery and follow-up. The events comprise team exercises, incentives, kick-off events, conferences and adventure trips both indoors and outdoors.

§ 2 Contract

Only these terms and conditions form part of the contract — any terms and conditions of the client are not recognised. A contract between client and Saxxevent can only be concluded in writing. The basis of a contract between the client and Saxxevent is the individually configured proposal and the costing prepared on the basis of Saxxevent's service rates. Travel costs, hotel accommodation, material costs and customary expenses are not included in the costing and are invoiced separately. No costs arise for the client for the preparation of the offer, including costing. A contract between client and Saxxevent is concluded upon receipt of written confirmation of a proposal. If a third party has ordered on behalf of a client, that third party is jointly and severally liable to Saxxevent together with the client. Saxxevent may require an appropriate advance payment from the client and/or the third party.

§ 3 Withdrawal

In the event of withdrawal from a booked event for reasons not attributable to the organiser, the following flat-rate cancellation fee as a percentage of the total price, plus any telecommunication charges incurred, is payable depending on the time the declaration of withdrawal is received. In the client's own interest and for evidentiary reasons, this declaration should always be made in writing:

• up to 28 days before the event start: 10 % of the event price
• 27–15 days before the event start: 20 % of the event price
• 14–8 days before the event start: 30 % of the event price
• 7–4 days before the event start: 50 % of the event price
• from 3 days before the event start: 100 % of the event price

The client remains free to demonstrate that damage in this amount has not occurred.

§ 4 Termination of the contract due to exceptional circumstances

If the event is substantially impeded, endangered or impaired as a result of force majeure not foreseeable at the time the contract was concluded, or of circumstances adversely affecting Saxxevent, in particular those outside Saxxevent's sphere of influence, both the organiser and the client may terminate the contract. If the contract is terminated, Saxxevent is entitled to demand appropriate compensation for services already rendered or still to be rendered.

§ 5 Duty of care and liability

Saxxevent is liable, within the duty of care of a prudent businessperson, for the conscientious organisation and handling of the event, the careful selection and supervision of service providers, the accuracy of the service descriptions set out in the proposal, and the proper provision of the contractually agreed services. Saxxevent is liable in accordance with statutory provisions where the client asserts claims for damages based on intent or gross negligence, including intent or gross negligence on the part of representatives or vicarious agents. Insofar as no intentional breach of contract is alleged, liability for damages is limited to foreseeable damage typical of the contract. Saxxevent is furthermore liable in accordance with statutory provisions where a material contractual obligation is culpably breached; in this case liability for damages is likewise limited to foreseeable damage typical of the contract. Liability for culpable injury to life, body and health remains unaffected. Saxxevent is not liable for disruptions in connection with services that are merely brokered as third-party services.

§ 6 Safety

Compliance with the highest international and internal safety standards is the most important framework condition of every Saxxevent event.

§ 7 Invalidity of individual provisions

The invalidity of individual provisions of the contract does not result in the invalidity of the entire contract.

§ 8 Place of jurisdiction

The client may only bring proceedings against the organiser at the organiser's registered office. The place of jurisdiction is therefore Dresden/Saxony. For actions brought by Saxxevent against the client, the client's place of residence is decisive, unless the action is directed against registered traders or persons who have moved their place of residence or habitual abode abroad after conclusion of the contract, or whose place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time proceedings are brought. In these cases the registered office of Saxxevent is decisive. An agreement on the place of jurisdiction is invalid with respect to natural persons, so that such an agreement may only be made with registered traders.
