§ 5 Retention of Ownership

§ 6 Warranty

(1) If you conclude the contract as a consumer, the statutory provisions on the warranty for defects apply.

(2) If you act as a business or an entrepreneur, the statutory warranty claims apply with the following modifications:

  1. Our own information and the manufacturer’s product descriptions apply regarding the quality of the goods, but not public statements and other advertising by the manufacturer.
  2. You are obliged to inspect the goods immediately and with due care for deviations in quality and quantity. You must notify us of any obvious defects within 7 days of receipt of the goods. The timely dispatch is within the deadline. The same applies to hidden defects discovered later from the point of discovery. In the event of a breach of this obligation to examine and give notice of defects, the assertion of warranty claims is excluded.
  3. In the case of defective goods, we will either rectify the defect or provide a replacement delivery (total supplementary performance) at our discretion. In the event of a repair, we shall not bear the increased costs that arise as a result of transporting the goods to a location other than the place of performance, insofar as the transport does not correspond to the intended use. If this supplementary performance fails twice, you can either request a price reduction or withdraw from the contract.
  4. The warranty period is twelve months from delivery of the goods. This limitation of warranty does not apply to claims based on damage resulting from injury to life, limb or health or from the breach of an essential contractual obligation, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and on the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely (cardinal obligation) as well as for claims for other damages based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty by us or our vicarious agents.

§ 7 Liability

(1) We have unlimited liability for claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents

  • in the event of injury to life, limb or health,in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty,
  • in the case of a promise of guarantee, if agreed, or
  • in as far as the area of application of the Product Liability Act is open.

(2) In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which is essential for the proper execution of the contract and the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely on (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, the liability is limited to the limited to foreseeable damage, the occurrence of which must typically be expected.

§ 8 Dispute Resolution for Consumers

In the event of a significant change in essential course content, the participant is entitled to withdraw from the contract free of charge or to select an equivalent course from Magic Mountain’s offer, insofar as this is possible.

(2) In the case of courses where certain people, techniques or facilities are not available on the day of delivery, Magic Mountain reserves the right to provide equivalent replacements if possible or, should this not be possible, to cancel or reschedule the course at short notice.

§ 3 Force Majeure

(1) “Force Majeure” means the occurrence of an event or circumstance which prevents us from performing one or more of our contractual obligations under the Contract if and to the extent that we demonstrate that: (a) such a hindrance is beyond our reasonable control; and (b) it was not reasonably foreseeable at the time the Contract was completed; and (c) the effects of the impediment could not reasonably have been avoided or overcome by us.

(2) Until proven otherwise, “force majeure” shall be presumed for the following events(i) war; (ii) civil war, riot, rebellion and revolution, military or other seizure of power, insurrection, acts of terrorism; (iii) currency and trade restrictions, embargo, sanctions; (iv) lawful or unlawful official acts, compliance with laws or governmental orders, expropriation, confiscation of works, requisition, nationalization; (v) plague, epidemic, natural disaster or extreme natural event; (vi) explosion, fire, destruction of equipment, prolonged failure of information systems or power; (vii) general labor disturbances such as boycotts and strikes.

We are released from our obligation to perform our contractual obligations and from any liability for damages or from any other contractual remedy for breach of contract from the point at which the impediment makes it impossible for us to perform the service; provided this is communicated immediately. If notice is not given promptly, the waiver will take effect from the time you receive the notice. If the effect of the impediment or event asserted is temporary, the consequences just described shall only apply as long as the impediment asserted prevents the fulfillment of the contract. If the duration of the alleged impediment results in the contracting parties being deprived to a significant extent of what they were entitled to expect under the contract, each party has the right to terminate the contract by giving notice to the other party within a reasonable period of time.


Alternative Dispute Resolution according to Art. 14 Para. 1 ODR-VO and § 36 VSBG:
