Conflicting terms and conditions of trade of the Customer have no effect on the legal relationships with the Ski & Snowboarding School.

The object of the Ski & Snowboarding School is the operation of snow sports schools in accordance with the Salzburg ski and snowboarding schools act. In this context these GTCT therefore apply for all services provided or arranged by the Ski & Snowboarding School for the Customer and/or other people for whom the customer has entered into legal relationships with the Ski & Snowboarding School (associated people as long as provisionsin these GTCT also apply to them, hereafter Customer or Course Participant).

Services in the area of skiing and snow sports specifically include:

2.2. Bookings for individual and group courses and for hire may be made by the Customer in person on site or via the internet, fax or telephone. Bookings or declarations of the Customer to an employee of the Ski & Snowboarding School establish no obligation to form a contract but rather represent a binding Customer offer which may be accepted by the Ski & Snowboarding School. The Ski & Snowboarding School is not obliged to inform the Customer of non-acceptance of the offer or of rejection of online bookings. If the Customer offer is not confirmed within a period of two weeks from receipt then the Customer offer is respectively deemed not to have been accepted. The scope of the contractual service is governed exclusively by the written booking confirmation or the issued payment receipt or course ticket from the Ski & Snowboarding School. Ancillary oral or telephone agreements apply only in the case of explicit written confirmation by the Ski & Snowboarding School.

2.3. A contract may be formed between the Ski & Snowboarding School and the Customer either electronically (submission of an offer by the customer by means of online form and subsequent acceptance by written booking confirmation on the part of the Ski & Snowboarding School) or on the business premises of the Ski & Snowboarding School (contract formation by issue of a payment receipt to the Customer). A contractual relationship between the Ski & Snowboarding School and the Customer is formed only by submission of the booking confirmation or issue of the payment receipt. The booking confirmation and/or payment receipt serve(s) as proof for use of the booked service and must be presented to the respective instructor at the start of the course. The Ski & Snowboarding School offers services that are provided in connection with recreational activities and for which a specific time or period is contractually agreed. No right of cancellation therefore exists in the case of contract formation via telephone, internet or e-mail.

3.1. Fees for lift passes (ski passes) or ski equipment (hire) are not included in the course fees. These must be acquired and brought by the Customer at own expense. If the Ski & Snowboarding School offers the hire of snow sports equipment then an additional fee may be incurred for this.

3.2. The entitlement of the Ski & Snowboarding School to a fee from the Customer arises on formation of the contract. Payment of the contractual fee becomes due at this time. 3 S B S S V Salzburger Berufsschilehrer&Snowboardlehrer Verband 5671 Bruck/Glstr., Waagstr. 12 Tel.: 0043 (0) 6545 606 44 Fax: 0043 (0) 6545 606 444 eMail: info@sbssv.at web: www.sbssv.at

3.3. In all cases the course fees and costs of additional services (e.g. hire) and therefore the contractual fee must be paid by the Customer and the amount must be received by the Ski & Snowboarding School at least before the start of the course otherwise the Customer is not entitled to use services of the Ski & Snowboarding School. In all cases the course ticket (voucher) is issued only after receipt of payment in full by the Ski & Snowboarding School. Participation in the lessons is not possible without a course ticket.

3.4.

This advance payment must arrive in the account of the Ski & Snowboarding School three working days before the start of the service provision. The remaining balance must be paid and be received by the Ski & Snowboarding School before the start of the service provision and therefore before the start of the course in all cases. For contracts formed at the place of performance the fee for the service to be provided must be paid in cash or using ordinary electronic means of payment before the start of the course at the office of the Ski & Snowboarding School. If agreed in writing explicitly and in the individual case with the Ski & Snowboarding School the total sum of the course fees may also be paid in cash immediately before the start of the service directly to the ski instructor or to a person from the Ski & Snowboarding School who is authorised to receive payment of the course fees.

The amount to be refunded is recalculated on the basis of the services actually provided for this period. The total amount is thus reduced but the daily rates may increase.

6. Impossibility of performance

6.1. If performance of the service is impossible for safety reasons (e.g. weather conditions, avalanche risk and similar) then the Ski & Snowboarding School is not obliged to provide the service. It lies solely at the reasonable discretion of the Ski & Snowboarding School to assess the impossibility of the service performance whereby partial impossibility – e.g. if no ski lessons are possible on three out of five days – does not affect performance of the possible service element. In the case of corresponding (partial or complete) impossibility of performance the Ski & Snowboarding School will refund the pro rata fee to the Customer within 14 (fourteen) days. The Customer has no entitlement above and beyond this.

6.2. Force majeure or other unforeseeable and unavoidable events shall exempt the Ski & Snowboarding School from its performance obligations if these are affected by the same.

In particular in the case of occurrence of COVID-19 symptoms (fever, dry cough, fatigue, breathing difficulties etc.) the Customer undertakes to refrain from participation in the lesson. If the Customer has booked a group course then the right of cancellation designated for this may be exercised by the Customer on presentation of a medical certificate. The Customer must independently ensure and be responsible for having equipment that is appropriate and corresponds to the external conditions of the latest snow sports technology. If the Customer uses own snow sports equipment then the appropriate technical inspection of the snow sports equipment and bindings (especially ski or snowboarding bindings) by a specialist company must be arranged by the Customer before the start of the lessons. In the case of technical equipment that is a safety risk or that is defective the Ski and Snowboarding School may refuse participation in the course by the Customer until the Customer has arranged repair of the defect without entitlement of the Customer to reduction of the fee for missed lesson units. Grouping and grading of the Customer is performed by the Ski & Snowboarding School according to ability of the Customer – if it is necessary to downgrade the Customer then the Customer must comply with this decision. Otherwise the Ski & Snowboarding School is entitled to terminate the contract immediately with no entitlement for the Customer acting in breach of the contract to reclaim the fee paid. The Customer must follow and observe instructions of the Ski & Snowboarding School strictly and precisely.

The Customer acknowledges that rescue from pistes or in the open is often associated with high costs. The Customer is therefore advised to take our appropriate insurance because the Ski & Snowboarding School is not liable for recovery and air rescue costs unless these recovery and/or air rescue costs have been caused through intent or gross negligence of the Ski & Snowboarding School or a person accountable to the same. The Customer of the Ski & Snowboarding School and all course participants are strongly advised to take out health, accident, liability and foreign health insurance.

9.2. In accordance with the statutory provisions the Ski & Snowboarding School isliable exclusively for damage and consequential damage resulting from injurious behaviour with respect to the principal obligations from the contract formed and caused through intent or gross negligence of the Ski & Snowboarding School or people accountable to the same although the liability exclusion for contractual and criminal damage compensation claims of any nature does not apply for personal injury. Appropriate liability insurance is in place for the Ski & Snowboarding School.

The Ski & Snowboarding School is liable under no circumstances if the Customer is physically injured, suffers damage or causes damage of any nature through disregard for the instructions of the Ski & Snowboarding School, FIS piste rules, other statutory regulations or provisions of the present GTCT. If the Customer incurs damage due to equipment that is provided to the Customer then the Ski & Snowboarding School shall accordingly be indemnified and held harmless by the Customer.

The Ski & Snowboarding School accepts no liability for damage caused to the Customer or to other people by the Customer during performance of the agreed service through no fault of the Ski & Snowboarding School. The same applies for corresponding damage caused to the Customer by third parties.

On no account is the Ski & Snowboarding School liable for damage of any nature that the Customer incurs as a result of unprofessional or inadequately performed inspection, adjustment or maintenance of the equipment of the same. All Customers are responsible for the technical safety and defect-free condition of their own equipment and must cover resulting damage incurred for themselves. 9 S B S S V Salzburger Berufsschilehrer&Snowboardlehrer Verband 5671 Bruck/Glstr., Waagstr. 12 Tel.: 0043 (0) 6545 606 44 Fax: 0043 (0) 6545 606 444 eMail: info@sbssv.at web: www.sbssv.at Regardless of fault the Ski & Snowboarding School is not liable for loss of earnings, purely financial losses and consequential damage if this exceeds three times the service fee.

The Ski & Snowboarding School shall provide no compensation for lessons that are cancelled as a result of cable car and lift facility outages.

The Customer or Course Participant is explicitly advised that in accordance with § 3c of Salzburg state sports act 1988, state law gazette no. 98/1987 in the current version, children and young people up to the age of 15 years are obliged to make proper use of a ski or snowboarding helmet compliant with ÖNORM EN 1077:2007 when practising Alpine skiing and snowboarding.

The Customer is moreover advised that not wearing a safety helmet may establish contributory negligence of the Customer in case of injuries which is why for the respective service booked the Customer or Course Participant is recommended to wear a safety helmet as well as other recommended safety equipment (e.g. avalanche transceiver on trips in the open) or to carry it in the case of avalanche equipment. Safety helmets and safety equipment generally reduce the risk of injury.

10.2. The Customer or Course Participant must moreover ensure familiarity with the content and application of the standard FIS piste rules and comply with the same.

11. Provisionsin connection with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 virus/ the coronavirus):

11.1. Obligations and declarations of the Customer or Course Participant: The Customer is generally aware of the occurrence of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions as a result.

In this respect the Customer is obliged to ensure familiarity with of all existing restrictions, rules of conduct and recommendations for action pertaining to the region in which the Ski & Snowboarding School is located. These also include the current COVID-19 regulations for accommodation and cable car businesses.

The Customer is aware that rules of conduct which the same is independently responsible for observing e.g. such as regular hand washing with water and soap and other hygiene measures, social distancing, if necessary the wearing of a face mask where social distancing is not possible or even mandatory, coughing and sneezing into a paper handkerchief or the crook of the arm and refraining from greetings with physical contact could serve to prevent further spread of the virus by the Customer.

The Customer must comply with all corresponding instructions of the Ski & Snowboarding School or ski hire business that serve to protect the health and safety of the contractual parties. These instructions concern premises of the Ski & Snowboarding School, the meeting place or assembly point and all locations that are visited during the lessons.

The Customer also gives assurance that the same will comply with and follow corresponding instructions and rules of conduct which are communicated by third parties e.g. such as lift or cable car businesses, accommodation businesses, catering businesses or other businesses which the Customer uses at a time that coincides with use of the services of the Ski & Snowboarding School.

The Customer declares that the same has had no typical symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 14 days before initial attendance at the lessons. The Customer also declares that to the knowledge of the same the Customer has had no contact with people infected with COVID-19.

The Customer declares that the same will stay away from the lessons and will contact the telephone health advice line on 1450 to give further clarification there in the case of symptoms e.g. such as a dry cough, shortness of breath, loss of sense of taste or smell, sore throat or fever that occur before the start of a lesson. This also applies if the Customer suspects that the same is suffering with COVID19 or an illness that has not yet had further medical clarification.

If relevantsymptoms occur or the suspicion of suffering with COVID-19 arises during the lessons then the Customer will immediately inform the Ski & Snowboarding School of this so that the Customer can be immediately isolated from other people. The Customer acknowledges that the occurrence of infection with COVID-19 or proof of infection even in only one other customer of the Ski & Snowboarding School could result in performance of the contractual service by the Ski & Snowboarding School having to be cancelled and all customers attending the lessons consequently having to be placed in quarantine or to undergo COVID-19 testing at the Customer’s own expense.

The Customer acknowledges that the personal data of the same will be used for the purpose of contact tracing (in connection with COVID-19) with respect to the Ski & Snowboarding School and the Customer consents to this.

11.2. Special provisionsfor contractual relationships:

The ski & snowboarding school is able to provide the service: If the ski & snowboarding school is able to provide the contractualservice and the customer does not attend the lesson then the provisions listed above under “cancellation conditions” shall apply accordingly. This also applies if the customer cancels or has to cancel the attendance at the lesson because of verified or suspected infection with COVID-19 before or during contractual performance by the ski & snowboarding school.

Provision of the service by the ski & snowboarding school is certainly possible as long as the use of pistes is not completely prohibited or the cable car or lift operation has not been completely discontinued in the ski resort in which the ski & snowboarding school branch is located and as long as the holding of individual courses at least is still permitted in consideration of regulatory measures or directives (regardless of this in accordance with point 7. above this does not affect the rights of the ski & snowboarding school to combine group courses and to reduce the teaching hours if the number of participants falls below five people).

The closure of any accommodation business, closures of third-party businesses or the emergence of infections in third parties, in people on site or in the region of the ski & snowboarding school branch does not mean that it is impossible for the ski & snowboarding school to provide the service. The same applies for any potential departure obligations or departure recommendations that apply to the customers on the basis of corresponding travel warnings or recall operations of states for their own citizens if these were or should have been foreseeable for the customer on the basis of the information requirements applicable to the same.

The ski & snowboarding school is entirely or partially unable to provide the service: In the following cases the corresponding service obligation of the ski & snowboarding school shall not entirely or partially cease to apply for the contractual period and the customershall receive a voucher that can be redeemed at a later date for a corresponding subsequent teaching period unless the customer makes a written request for corresponding refund of a fee already paid by the same:

  • Regulatory business closure or generally applicable business closures if these also affect the ski & snowboarding school,
  • Regulatory cessation of the operation of all lift and cable car businesses if operation is essential for the service provision of the ski & snowboarding school,
  • Officially ordered quarantine for the entire site or the entire region in which the ski & snowboarding school branch is located, or
  • Mandatory departure obligation by sovereign order affecting the customer if the same could not have expected it.

The service obligation of the ski & snowboarding school shall also cease to apply if the ski or snowboarding instructor accommodation used by ski or snowboarding instructors of the respective ski & snowboarding school is affected by regulatory closures or other health precautions such as quarantine measures or ordered isolation because of one or more verified or suspected infections with COVID-19 there among ski or snowboarding instructors or third parties which result in the 12 S B S S V Salzburger Berufsschilehrer&Snowboardlehrer Verband 5671 Bruck/Glstr., Waagstr. 12 Tel.: 0043 (0) 6545 606 44 Fax: 0043 (0) 6545 606 444 eMail: info@sbssv.at web: www.sbssv.at absence of at least 10% of the ski & snowboarding school teaching staff. In particular the ski & snowboarding school is not obliged to purchase additional instructor services.

The ski & snowboarding school is able to provide the service only after contractual amendment (contractual adaptation to changed circumstances): In the event that group courses are prohibited because of regulatory measures or directives the ski & snowboarding school is entitled to amend the contract or to adjust the contractual fee in consideration of the price offered for individual courses or private lessons at the time when the contract is concluded and to charge the customer the difference from the payment already made. This is subject to the following conditions:

  • The holding of individual courses or courses for groups of people from the same household is prohibited by regulatory measure or directive after conclusion of the contract and this was not foreseeable for the contracting parties at the time of conclusion of the contract,
  • The regulatory measure or directive relates to the period of the contractual service,
  • The ski & snowboarding school is permitted to hold individual courses in accordance with the regulatory measure or directive,
  • The ski & snowboarding school is able to continue to provide at least the basic service (the use of pistes is not completely prohibited or the cable car or lift operation has not been completely discontinued), and
  • Withdrawal from the contract has not been declared by the customer in accordance with 5.1. cancellation conditions.

11.3. Special liability provisions:

The Ski & Snowboarding School accepts absolutely no liability for all damage and consequential damage or other disadvantages of any nature that the Customer incurs or could incur in connection with the occurrence of COVID-19 infections. This also applies in particular if the Customer is infected during performance of the contractual services or if an infection comes from the Ski & Snowboarding School despite compliance with the relevant precautions. If the service performance is entirely or partially impossible for the Ski & Snowboarding School on one or more of the grounds stated above then liability of the Ski & Snowboarding School is excluded in all cases for all damage and consequential damage or other disadvantages that could be incurred on the part of the Customer (e.g. loss of holiday enjoyment, any frustrated expenditure, any costs in connection with arrival and departure, any costs and disadvantages of any nature in connection with voluntary or compulsory premature termination of the stay or associated premature departure, advance payments not refunded by or cancellation costs to be paid to accommodation businesses or third-party businesses, possible costs in connection with expired lift passes, costs for COVID-19 tests or other health-related measures, all conceivable disadvantages of any nature above and beyond these etc.).

If the service performance is entirely or partially possible for the Ski & Snowboarding School (cf. in this respect the corresponding provisions above) and the Customer has to cancel the lessons before or during the service performance by the Ski & Snowboarding School because of proven or suspected COVID-19 infection then point 5 (cancellation conditions) applies.

11.4. The Ski & Snowboarding School reserves the right to take temperature measurements from every Customer before the start of each course or at the start of each course day. In the case of an elevated temperature, fever or other significant indications of infectious diseases the ski & snowboardingschool may exclude the Customer from the lesson at its own discretion. In these cases the Customer is entitled either to a pro rata refund of a fee already paid or to the issue of a corresponding credit note.

12. Place of performance, place of jurisdiction, choice of law, contract language, other provisions:

12.1. The place of performance for all obligations to be fulfilled both by the Ski & Snowboarding School and by the Customer is the location of the central office of the Ski & Snowboarding School. 12.2. If the Customer is a business or consumer resident outside the territory of the European jurisdiction and enforcement regulation or the Lugano convention (which includes all countries other than the EU member states, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland) then the objectively and locally competent court at the registered office of the ski & snowboardingschool is agreed as the exclusive competent court for all legal disputes arising from or in connection with these GTCT and/or contracts between the Ski & Snowboarding School and the Customer on the provision of services of the Ski & Snowboarding School. If the Customer is a consumer resident within the EU or within the territory of the Lugano convention then the statutory provisions on jurisdiction apply.

12.3. Austrian law applies to the exclusion of Austrian private international law.

12.4. The contract language is German.
