the registration at the official-vip.com Website as well as to the purchase of tickets
and VIP tickets for sporting or other events by different organizers, rightsholders

The GTC of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER apply in addition to these GTC. In the event of divergent conditions, these SPORTFIVE GTC shall precede. The respective CONTRACTUAL PARTNER will be indicated to you during the ordering process. As a result, you must assert all claims against the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER with regard to the event, its design or in connection with the visit to the event. This applies in particular to claims in connection with the cancellation or relocation of an event or program changes.
3. The conclusion of a contract between you and the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER is only possible in German or English language. The text of the contract will be archived by us after conclusion; however, it is not accessible to you on our Website.

§ 2 Registration as a Member, subject and scope of the Contract of Use
1. The purchase of tickets requires a guest access or registration
as a Member. Guest access is created by entering personal data during the ordering
process while registration as a Member is done by setting up a Member account. In
both cases, a contract is concluded between SPORTFIVE and the Member on the
use of the Website (hereinafter referred to as the "Contract of Use"). There is no
obligation to conclude such Contract of Use. If an order is placed via guest access,
the data will only be stored for the processing of this individual order process and will
have to be re-entered for a further order.
2. Registration is only permitted for legal entities, private companies and natural persons with unlimited legal capacity. Minors in particular are not allowed to register for official-vip.com.
3. The data requested by official-vip.com during registration must be provided completely and correctly, e.g. first and last name, current address (no PO box), a valid e-mail address and, if applicable, the name of the company and an authorized representative.
4. The registration of a legal entity may only be performed by a natural person authorized to represent it who must be named explicitly. When registering, only individual persons may be named as owners of the Member account or guest access (i.e. no married couples or families).

7. Members must keep their password secret and carefully secure the access to their Member Account. They are obliged to inform SPORTFIVE immediately if there are suspicions that a Member Account has been misused by any third person.
8. SPORTFIVE will not disclose a Member's password to third parties and will never ask for a Member's password via e-mail or telephone.
9. Members are liable for all activities that are carried out using their Member Account. If the Member is not responsible for the misuse of his account because there is no violation of the existing duties of care, the Member shall not be liable.
10. A Member Account is not transferable.
11. SPORTFIVE reserves the right to delete Member accounts which are registered incomplete after a reasonable period of time.

The data entered via the Website will therefore be used by SPORTFIVE to process the order. Further information on the use of the data entered via the Website will be provided under the section of data protection [link].
15. The Member is entitled to terminate his membership account at any time and thus also the Contract of Use by e-mail to info@official-vip.com without further notice. There is no need to provide reasons for the termination.
16. SPORTFIVE reserves the right to delete Member accounts that are obviously no longer in use. This occurs if the Member does not reply in writing to the e-mail address registered by the member, despite three written requests to do so.

§ 3 Contract conclusion for the purchase of tickets
1. The contract for the purchase of tickets is concluded
exclusively between you and the respective CONTRACTUAL PARTNER or with
SPORTFIVE. If events are advertised on www.official-vip.com and the sale of tickets
for the CONTRACTUAL PARTNERS is promised, this merely constitutes a nonbinding invitation to you to submit a purchase offer. We therefore do not guarantee
that tickets for the event will still be available. You will be deemed to have made an
offer to conclude a contract as soon as you have clicked on the "Order payable"
dialogue box at the end of the ordering process. Your offer will be accepted by us as
representative for the respective CONTRACTUAL PARTNER or as commission
agent. This is done by sending you an invoice for the booked tickets after your order
to the e-mail address you specified during registration. Accordingly, the acceptance
does not yet take place through the automatically generated order confirmation,
which you will receive immediately after submitting the offer.
2. If, for any reason whatsoever, the number of tickets you requested is not available, you will be notified before the contract is concluded and you will no longer be bound to your offer. You will then have to place a new order. We reserve the right at any time to reject your offer on behalf of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER without giving reasons.

You will then have to place a new order. We reserve the right at any time to reject your offer on behalf of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER without giving reasons.
§ 4 Delivery
1. The tickets will be shipped worldwide to the recipient's address
provided by a shipping service provider. The selection of the shipping service
provider is the responsibility of the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER. In the event that
timely arrival of the tickets cannot be guaranteed, alternatively the tickets can be
deposited at the venue.
2. Tickets will be dispatched between receipt of the payment confirmation and before the event. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, information on delivery dates are nonbinding.
3. If it is not possible to send the tickets to you because you entered the wrong recipient address during registration, you will be responsible for the cost of unsuccessful delivery. If the recipient cannot be found at the address you have provided and/or the Tickets do not fit in the mailbox, the Tickets will be deposited in accordance with the rules of the respective shipping service provider.
4. You must check your tickets immediately upon receipt to ensure that they match your order and notify us of any discrepancies immediately by email. You will then be sent another ticket. If no further delivery is possible due to the event being sold out, we will of course refund any payments made.

§ 5 Prices, ticket information and terms of payment
1. The prices and other ticket information (including event dates,
venues and times) listed on the Website www.official-vip.com have been provided to
SPORTFIVE by the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER and are subject to change. A
guarantee for the topicality and correctness of these data at the time of the delivery
of the order is expressly excluded. The sole contact person in the event of
cancellation, postponement of the event in terms of time, space and/or schedule is
exclusively the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER. The information printed on the ticket
applies.
2. SPORTFIVE accepts prepayment, payment by credit card, PayPal and / or (instant) bank transfer as payment method depending on the respective CONTRACTUAL PARTNER and sends the Member a corresponding invoice after order confirmation. SPORTFIVE uses the services of Adyen to process the payment. The invoice contains a certain term of payment. The tickets will only be dispatched as soon as the payment has been credited to the respective SPORTFIVE account.

§ 6 Refund of purchase price, Right of withdrawal
1. A right to the return of tickets and refund of the purchase price
only arises in the event of cancellation or postponement of events. This claim
concerns the performance of the event and is therefore directed against the
CONTRACTUAL PARTNER. In this case, SPORTFIVE will only undertake the
reversal of the contractual relationship between you and the CONTRACTUAL
PARTNER to the extent that the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER provides the
corresponding amounts.
2. SPORTFIVE shall be notified of any claim for reimbursement of the purchase price within the meaning of § 6 number 1 in the event of cancellation of the event without replacement no later than four (4) weeks after the date on which the event was cancelled.
3. Your rights to withdraw from the contract or claim damages due to a breach of duty for which the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER is responsible within the framework of the statutory provisions shall remain unaffected.
4. As SPORTFIVE provides leisure services on behalf of the CONTRACTING PARTNERS, the legal provisions on distance contracts set by the German Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) do not apply in this case. This means that there is no right of withdrawal. Each order placed by you is therefore binding immediately after placing the order and obliges you to accept and pay for the tickets ordered.

§ 7 Liability
1. The CONTRACTUAL PARTNER has sent SPORTFIVE the
information about the event that is displayed to you. We are therefore not
responsible for the accuracy of this information. This does not apply if we become
aware of the incorrectness of such information (e.g. through a customer complaint)
and if we do not act to have the CONTRACTUAL PARTNER correct the information.
2. SPORTFIVE shall be liable in accordance with the statutory provisions for the assertion of breaches of duty based on intent or gross negligence, including intent or gross negligence on the part of our legal representatives or auxiliary persons (“Erfüllungsgehilfen”).
3. SPORTFIVE shall only be liable for ordinary negligence if SPORTFIVE culpably breaches an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation). An essential contractual obligation is one whose breach endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract or whose fulfilment is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on whose observance the contractual partner may regularly rely. In this case and in the case of default and impossibility, liability for damages shall be limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
4. Liability for culpable injury to life, body or health or on the basis of claims under the ProdHaftG [Product Liability Act] shall remain unaffected.
