Relationship with the customer:
1.1 The following General Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) are the GTC of
The Padel City Entertainment GmbH, Goethestraße 21, 80336 Munich, registered in the Commercial Register of the Munich Local Court under HRB 309736, telephone number: +49 151 14325282; email address: opct@padelcityentertainment.com (hereinafter also “PCE”, “us” or “we”).
These Terms and Conditions apply to contracts with you, our customers (hereinafter: “Customer”), in relation to the events and services of the One Point Challenge Tour (“OPCT”) presented on our website www.opct-official.com (“OPCT website”).
The version of our Terms and Conditions applicable at the time of conclusion of the respective contract between us and the Customer shall prevail.
1.2 Our offer on the OPCT website is directed exclusively at consumers within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (“BGB”), i.e. at any natural person who enters into a legal transaction with us for a purpose that is predominantly neither attributable to their commercial nor their self-employed professional activity.
1.3 Our General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively. Any provisions deviating from or contradicting our General Terms and Conditions shall not apply, unless we have expressly agreed to such provisions in writing or in text form.
2. Conclusion of contract with the customer
2.1 The presentation of our products and services on the OPCT website, in particular the presentation of OPCT events, does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a contract.
2.2 By clicking the “Place order” button, the customer submits a legally binding order. By placing the order, the customer declares that they are of legal age at the time of placing the order.
2.3 The subject of the customer’s order is a ticket granting a starting right or the starting right for the OPCT event specified in the order (‘starting right’; this OPCT event also referred to as the “OPCT Start Event”) for a team consisting of two natural persons (“Participant Team”), namely the customer and another person (m/f/d) who is of legal age at the time of the OPCT Start Event; this other person is referred to as the “Playing Partner”).
2.4 Each customer may purchase a maximum of one entry per OPCT event and may only hold one entry per OPCT event at any given time. Consequently, a customer may not hold more than one entry for the same OPCT event at the same time, even as a result of a transfer in accordance with section4 .
2.5 Each customer may have a maximum of one playing partner per OPCT event at any one time. A person may not be a playing partner if they are prohibited from being present at the venue of the relevant OPCT event (e.g. due to a ban on entry). In this case, the customer must immediately name another person as their playing partner.
2.6 When placing an order or upon request by PCE (including at a later date following the order or conclusion of the contract) up until the start of the OPCT event, the customer must provide us with the surname, first name, age and email address of their playing partner, as well as, where applicable, a name or designation for their participating team (e.g. CrazyPadelPlayerz). The name or designation of the participating team must not be offensive, contravene public decency or infringe the rights of third parties or statutory provisions. PCE reserves the right to change the name in the event of a breach.
2.7 The customer is bound by their order for a period of two (2) weeks from the date of submission.
2.8 We will confirm receipt of the customer’s order immediately by email. This confirmation email does not constitute acceptance of the contract by us, unless we expressly state in the email that we accept the contract.
2.9 The contract is concluded as soon as the customer receives our declaration of acceptance of their order by email.
2.10 The contract is concluded in the language you select on the OPCT website, provided we offer multiple languages there. Once the contract has been concluded, we will communicate with you in German or English.
3. Consideration, Remuneration, Due Date, Payment
3.1 The customer owes us the agreed remuneration in euros for the launch rights. The remuneration amounts stated on the OPCT website are gross amounts including any applicable statutory VAT. Remuneration is due upon conclusion of the contract.
3.2 We accept only the payment methods specified on the OPCT website prior to the customer placing their order. Depending on the payment method you have chosen, the corresponding amount may be reserved immediately on the payment method linked to your chosen payment method (e.g. credit card), but may not be debited until a later date. We reserve the right to check the account (e.g. PayPal account) or payment method (e.g. credit card) to verify whether the payment method you have chosen guarantees your ability to pay the remuneration owed to us (e.g. whether it is a valid PayPal account, whether the credit card is valid, whether there are sufficient funds in the PayPal account or whether the amount available on the credit card is sufficient, and whether the details you have provided are correct).
3.3 A further consideration for the right to start is the granting of rights or the securing of the granting of rights in accordance with No.20 .
4. Transfer and resale of entry rights
4.1 To prevent the transfer and resale of starting rights
- at prices exceeding the purchase price actually paid to us (plus any transaction costs incurred by you when purchasing the entry right from us [“transaction costs”]), for speculative purposes or to make a profit, or
- to circumvent bans from the premises and to prevent acts of violence and criminal offences in the context of or during participation in OPCT events
we and the organiser have an interest in restricting the transfer and resale of entry rights.
4.2 The entry right may only be purchased by the customer for private use with a playing partner. The commercial resale or transfer of an entry right by the customer is prohibited. This applies in particular
- to resale via auction, online auction, classified ads, or
- for resale at a price higher than the purchase price actually paid to us (plus transaction costs), or
- to a commercial reseller or dealer.
4.3 Any transfer of a starting right to a person who is prohibited from being present at the venue of the relevant OPCT event (e.g. due to a ban on entry) is prohibited.
4.4 The transfer of the starting right is permitted only in accordance with sections4.2 and4.3 , only up to the start of the OPCT Start Event, and only to another consumer for non-commercial, personal reasons and at a price not exceeding the purchase price actually paid to us (plus transaction costs) (e.g. in the event of illness or other personal impediment), provided that you have notified us in writing of the transfer and the identity of the transferee of the starting right, and the transferee of the starting right declares to us in writing, stating their surname, first name, address and email address, that they are of legal age at that time and agree to the starting right being governed by these General Terms and Conditions between them and us. Provided these conditions are met, we consent to the transfer of the starting right without the need for a further express declaration of consent to you. The transferee will receive written notification from us.
4.5 It is hereby clarified: If the starting right has been transferred in accordance with clause4.4 , the transferee of the starting right shall be the customer within the meaning of these terms and conditions from the moment of transfer. If a person has already been designated as a playing partner prior to the transfer of the starting right to the transferee, the designation of this person as a playing partner remains unaffected by the transfer of the starting right and continues to apply; clause15.1.3 applies to the replacement of the playing partner.
Pursuant to Section 312g(2)(9) of the German Civil Code (BGB), there is no right of withdrawal for contracts for the provision of further services in connection with leisure activities if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision of such services. Even if you acquire the starting right by way of a distance contract pursuant to Section 312c of the German Civil Code (BGB), you have no right to withdraw your declaration of intent to conclude this contract pursuant to Section 312g(2)(9) of the German Civil Code (BGB).
6.1 Ordinary termination of the contract for the starting right is excluded.
6.2 The right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.
6.3 Good cause shall be deemed to exist in particular
6.3.1 if the customer is prohibited from being present at the venue of the relevant OPCT event (e.g. by being banned from the premises) and the customer has not transferred or resold their starting right within two weeks of the prohibition taking effect, but at the latest by the start of the next OPCT event for which the starting right applies, in accordance with No.4 ; or
6.3.2 if a customer holds more than one starting right at the same time contrary to Section2.4 , in which case the right of termination applies to as many starting rights as necessary until the customer holds only one starting right; or
6.3.3 if the customer’s declaration of warranty under clause8 has proved to be inaccurate and the customer has failed to remedy the breach of warranty within a reasonable period despite our request.
6.4 The customer must be held responsible for any serious cause relating to their playing partner (in particular their behaviour), and such a serious cause constitutes grounds for us to terminate the contract with the customer if the customer fails to replace their playing partner immediately in accordance with clause15.1.3 , despite our request to do so.
6.5 It is clarified that personal incapacity on the part of the customer and/or their playing partner (e.g. due to illness or injury) does not constitute grounds for termination for good cause; reference is made to clauses4.4 and15.1.3 .
6.6 Any notice of termination must be in text or written form to be valid.
6.7 If we terminate the contract for good cause, the customer (and their playing partner) lose their right to play upon termination. The granting of rights to the customer in accordance with No.20 remains unaffected by the termination, meaning that the granting of rights in accordance with No.20 in relation to photo, video or audio content already produced, recorded or otherwise created does not end with the termination of the agreements on the terms and conditions of participation, but continues to apply.
7. Liability for damages, limitation of liability
7.1 We shall be liable for damages resulting from an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by one of our legal representatives or vicarious agents.
7.2 We shall also be liable for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health arising from an intentional or negligent breach of duty by one of our legal representatives or vicarious agents.
7.3 Otherwise, liability for damages resulting from a negligent breach of duty or a negligent tort committed by one of our legal representatives or vicarious agents is excluded, unless essential obligations have been breached, the fulfilment of which is necessary to achieve the purpose of the contract or which arise from a justified expectation of special trust (cardinal obligations). In these exceptional cases, our liability is limited to compensation for foreseeable damage.
7.4 Liability under the German Product Liability Act and arising from the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of an item or a procurement risk remains unaffected.
7.5 The above provisions also apply in favour of our legal representatives or our employees in respect of claims directed against them directly.
- that he is authorised by a power of attorney or other (e.g. statutory) power of representation
- to designate and register their playing partner as such in relation to the right to start; and
- to represent their playing partner in accordance with No.15.1.1 ; and
- to make the declaration regarding the granting of rights in accordance with No.20 on behalf of their playing partner; and
- that he will provide an explicit declaration from the playing partner himself regarding the granting of rights, with the content set out in section20 in text form, and will forward it to us, insofar as this is necessary for the validity of this declaration by the playing partner.
9.1 Extraordinary events which were unforeseeable by either us or you at the time of conclusion of the contract and for which neither we nor you are responsible, such as force majeure, strikes, lawful lockouts, pandemics or epidemics, natural disasters or events, armed or terrorist conflicts and their spread, official measures and the respective consequences of all these events (hereinafter “Special Event”) may prevent you or us from fulfilling the respective obligations under the contract. If the performance of an obligation by one party is delayed or temporarily prevented by a Special Event, that party must immediately inform the other party of the Special Event and the existence of a resulting impediment to performance, as well as its expected duration, and the affected performance obligation shall be suspended for the duration of such impediment. In the event of such a postponement of a performance obligation, the obligation to provide the corresponding consideration shall also be postponed.
9.2 If the Special Event or a resulting postponement of performance means that an OPCT Event cannot take place at the scheduled time and/or to the scheduled extent, but can take place at a later date, we may postpone the OPCT Event in question.
9.3 If the OPCT Event is postponed, or in the event that the Special Event is not merely a temporary impediment to performance, either party shall be entitled to terminate the contract by giving written notice to the other party; an impediment to performance shall be deemed not merely temporary if it lasts for more than three (3) months.
10.1 You are only entitled to set off claims if your counterclaims are undisputed or have been established by a final and binding court decision, or are based on the same contractual relationship.
10.2 You are only entitled to assert a right of retention insofar as the right of retention is based on the same contractual relationship.
11. No consumer dispute resolution
We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board in accordance with the Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG).
12. Applicable law, place of jurisdiction
12.1 The mandatory provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence shall apply. In all other respects, the law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply exclusively to all legal relationships arising from or in connection with this contract between you and us, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and international private law, unless mandatory provisions of international private law preclude this.
12.2 If you are a consumer and (a) at the time of conclusion of the contract you have your domicile or habitual residence in the Federal Republic of Germany and (aa) after conclusion of the contract you move this outside the Federal Republic of Germany, or (bb) your place of residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is brought, or (b) at the time of conclusion of the contract, your place of residence or habitual abode is neither in the Federal Republic of Germany nor in a Member State of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway or Iceland, the international jurisdiction of German courts is agreed for all disputes arising from or in connection with this contract; in case (b), the local jurisdiction of the courts competent for the location of our company’s registered office is also agreed (Munich Local Court, Munich Regional Court I, etc.). Any mandatory statutory places of jurisdiction at your place of residence or habitual abode remain unaffected.
13. Partial invalidity and gaps in the provisions
Should any provision of these General Terms and Conditions or of the contract concluded between us and you be or become invalid in whole or in part, or should the contract contain any omissions, this shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the contract.
Terms and Conditions of Participation:
14. Agreement on the conditions of participation with the customer
14.1 Upon conclusion of the contract for the starting right by the customer, the customer simultaneously enters into an agreement on the conditions of participation, which consist of clauses15 to21 and the correspondingly applicable clauses7 ,9 to13 ; the definitions contained in clauses1 and2 apply with the same content to the conditions of participation (the conditions of participation to the extent described above, “Conditions of Participation”).
14.2 Upon conclusion of the agreement on the Terms and Conditions of Participation in accordance with No.14.1 , an agreement on the Terms and Conditions of Participation exists between us and the customer.
15. Representation of the gaming partner by the customer, agreement of the Terms and Conditions with the gaming partner, replacement of the gaming partner
15.1.1 By naming their gaming partner (No.2.6 , No.15.1.3 or No.17.2.2 ), the customer enters into an agreement regarding the terms and conditions of participation for their gaming partner on the latter’s behalf; it is hereby clarified that the terms and conditions of participation include the granting of rights in accordance with No.20 . The customer’s legal acts on behalf of their gaming partner in the latter’s name require the customer to have sufficient legal or contractual power of representation for their gaming partner ; if the customer does not have such power of representation for the gaming partner and the gaming partner does not authorise the customer’s actions on their behalf, the customer shall be liable as an agent without power of representation in accordance with Section 179 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
15.1.2 Upon conclusion of the agreement on the terms and conditions of participation in accordance with No.15.1.1 , an agreement on the terms and conditions of participation exists between us and the gaming partner. This agreement on the terms and conditions of participation between us and the gaming partner shall become void, meaning that the gaming partner may not, in particular, invoke a right to participate in the OPCT Start Event with the customer (condition subsequent), if the customer has designated another gaming partner in accordance with No.15.1.3 . If the (most recently) designated gaming partner participates in the OPCT Start Event, the condition subsequent can no longer be fulfilled and the agreement on the terms and conditions of participation between us and the gaming partner is definitively effective.
15.1.3 The customer may replace their previously named play partner up until the start of the OPCT Start Event. For the replacement to be effective vis-à-vis us, the customer must notify us in writing of the new play partner, stating the new play partner’s surname, first name, age and email address. The consent of the playing partner previously named by the customer to the change or to the customer’s nomination of the new playing partner is not required. The customer shall inform the previous playing partner of the change. We are not obliged to inform the previous playing partner of the change. It is clarified that No.15.1.1 also applies in relation to the new playing partner.
16. Organiser of OPCT Events , not a licensed association event
16.1 We organise the OPCT events (including the OPCT Start Event) ourselves or have them organised by a third party appointed by us (this third party being the “organiser”).
16.2 If there is an organiser for the OPCT Start Event, we will name the organiser of the relevant OPCT Start Event on the OPCT website.
16.3 We would like to point out that neither we nor the OPCT are members of any regional, national or international padel association, and that OPCT Events are not events licensed or otherwise recognised by any regional, national or international padel association. We cannot therefore rule out the possibility that regulations exist within associations which prohibit members of the association or their members (e.g. padel players affiliated with the association) from participating in OPCT events, subject to sanctions (e.g. suspension from participating in association events).
17.1 Rules of Conduct
17.1.1 In addition to the conditions of participation, the exercise of the right to compete and participation in the OPCT are subject to the further provisions we have laid down for the OPCT (these provisions being the “OPCT Ruleset/Rules”). The OPCT Ruleset/Rules may, in particular, cover:
- Provisions regarding the conduct of the OPCT sporting competition (e.g. tournament and match rules), including organisational (e.g. timing) arrangements, the determination of attendance requirements for the participating team during the OPCT event, the appointment of referees for an OPCT event, and the determination of the binding nature of their decisions for the determination of sporting results;
- Provisions regarding the distribution of prizes offered in connection with OPCT Start Events or OPCT Qualifier Events to their participants, including the designation of the person(s) who shall make the final and binding decision on the awarding of the prizes to the individual participating teams on behalf of all participants in the respective OPCT event;
- Provisions regarding the exercise of the right of access and conduct to maintain safety and order at the venue of the OPCT event;
- Provisions designed to ensure compliance with statutory or regulatory requirements and orders; and
- Provisions regarding the legal consequences and penalties for breaches of the OPCT Ruleset or the organiser’s provisions within the meaning of No.17.1.2 .
17.1.2 In addition, the organiser of the OPCT event may also lay down provisions regarding the exercise of the organiser’s rights and conduct to maintain safety and order at the venue of the OPCT event (“Organiser’s Provisions”).
17.1.3 Should any provisions of the Terms and Conditions, the OPCT Ruleset and/or the Organiser’s Provisions conflict, the provisions of the Terms and Conditions, the OPCT Ruleset and the Organiser’s Provisions shall take precedence over the Organiser’s Provisions.
17.1.4 The participating team is obliged to observe and comply not only with the Terms and Conditions of Participation but also with all provisions of the OPCT Ruleset and the Organiser’s Regulations, as well as all stipulations and instructions issued on the basis of the OPCT Ruleset and the Organiser’s Regulations. The participating team shall, on its own initiative and without being asked, inform itself before the start of the OPCT Start Event via our website (e.g. via the OPCT website) or via the organiser of all applicable provisions of the OPCT Ruleset and the organiser’s regulations, as well as all stipulations and instructions issued on the basis of the OPCT Ruleset and the organiser’s regulations.
17.2 Proof of eligibility to start
17.2.1 In order for a team to participate, the customer or purchaser of the entry must, immediately prior to the start of the OPCT event in which the team wishes to take part, present the email confirmation of the entry purchase, which must include their first name and surname.
17.2.2 By this point at the latest, the customer must have provided us with the surname, first name, age and email address of their playing partner, as well as, where applicable, a name or designation for their participating team (e.g. CrazyPadelPlayerz).
17.2.3 To prove their identity, the customer and the playing partner must each carry a valid form of identification suitable for identification purposes and present it at our request or at the request of the organiser, insofar as this is necessary to verify the right to participate.
17.3 No substitution of players after the start of the OPCT Start Event
Once the OPCT Start Event has begun, no substitution of players, i.e. no substitution of the customer and/or the playing partner, is permitted. This also applies in the event of personal incapacity (e.g. due to illness or injury).
17.4 Postponement and cancellation
The customer and their playing partner must independently, unsolicited and in good time before the OPCT event in which they wish to participate, inform themselves of whether it is taking place or of any possible postponement or cancellation (e.g. via the OPCT website).
17.5 Late arrival or non-attendance, exclusion
17.5.1 The customer and their playing partner must, on their own initiative, without being asked and in good time before the OPCT event in which they wish to participate, find out when and where they must arrive and be present for their participation in the OPCT event.
17.5.2 If a participating team fails to arrive on time or in full for the OPCT event or for a scheduled match of the OPCT event in which it wishes to take part, the participating team may be excluded from taking part in the OPCT event in question. There is no entitlement to a postponement, rescheduling or a refund of the fee paid for the right to participate, even if the participating team is not at fault for the failure to attend.
17.5.3 If anyone has obtained the right to participate in breach of clause4 , or if the customer’s playing partner does not meet the requirements for a playing partner under this contract, we have the right to exclude the persons in question who wish to exercise the right to participate from taking part in the relevant OPCT event.
17.5.4 In the cases covered by No.17.5.2 and No.17.5.3 , we may reallocate the right to participate. If we reallocate the right to participate, such reallocation shall simultaneously constitute a declaration of exclusion.
17.6 Tournament Management and Referees
17.6.1 We are entitled to appoint tournament management or referees for each OPCT event. The tournament management and the referees are entitled to determine and adjust the conduct of the relevant OPCT event (particularly in sporting matters).
17.6.2 Decisions made by the tournament management and the referees in the context of an OPCT sporting competition, in particular decisions on points of fact, cannot be challenged and are binding, even if they were incorrect. In such a case, legal recourse is excluded for the customer and the playing partner. Furthermore, a decision by the tournament management or the referees is only subject to judicial review if the proceedings leading to the decision contain serious defects which clearly also influenced the decision itself.
17.7 No participation by minors
We and the organiser assume no duty of supervision with regard to minors or persons requiring supervision for other reasons. In the case of minors or persons requiring supervision for other reasons, the customer is obliged to supervise them for as long as the person requiring supervision is present at the venue of the OPCT event.
18. Risks associated with participation in OPCT events
Participation in sporting competitions as part of OPCT events, in particular the playing of padel, carries a risk of injury typical of the sport. Provided that we have fulfilled our contractual obligations and our duty of care, and provided that the organiser has fulfilled their duty of care, participation in an OPCT event is otherwise at your own risk and responsibility.
19.1 All commercial rights (including all marketing and media rights) in connection with the OPCT are held by us.
19.2 The customer and the gaming partner are therefore not permitted to
19.2.1 carry out any advertising or marketing activities in connection with the OPCT, including all OPCT events, unless otherwise agreed with us;
19.2.2 to participate in advertising or marketing activities in connection with the OPCT, including all OPCT events, which are not organised by us or the organiser;
19.2.3 make, reproduce, transmit or otherwise use or distribute audio, photo, film or video recordings or other descriptions and results of OPCT events for public or commercial purposes, whether via the internet, radio, television, data storage media or any other media, including those that may be developed in the future;
19.2.4 To assist third parties in activities as defined in points19.2.1 to19.2.3 .
19.3 Recordings of OPCT events for purely private purposes are permitted for the customer and the playing partner.
20. Image and sound recordings, right to one’s own image
20.1 We would like to point out that the organisation of all OPCT events is financed, among other things, by the commercial marketing of photo, video and audio content from the OPCT events (e.g. through the sale or licensing of exploitation rights relating to the photo, video and audio content; through the sale or licensing of rights to use the photo, video and audio content for advertising purposes). Consent is obtained separately by PCE from customers and playing partners.
21. Consequences of the termination of the contract regarding the right to participate with the customer
If the contract regarding the right to participate between us and the customer terminates, the agreement regarding the terms and conditions of participation with both the customer and the game partner shall also terminate. It is clarified that the granting of rights pursuant to No.20 with regard to photo, video or audio content already produced, recorded or otherwise created does not end with the termination of the agreements regarding the terms and conditions of participation, but shall continue.
Date: [7 May 2026]
General Provisions for Promises of Rewards relating to
One Point Challenge Tour (OPCT) Events
1. Scope of Application and Definitions
1.1 The following General Provisions for Promises of Rewards relating to One Point Challenge Tour (OPCT) Events („GPP“) apply for promises of rewards relating to One Point Challenge Tour (OPCT) Events of
The Padel City Entertainment GmbH, Goethestraße 21, 80336 Munich, Germany, registered with the commercial register of the local court of Munich (Amtsgericht München) under HRB 309736, phone: [+49 #]; email address: [info@padelcityentertainment.com].
1.2 Where terms are used in these GPP that are defined in our General Terms and Conditions for Participation in One Point Challenge Tour (OPCT) Events, the definitions set out therein shall also apply to the provisions herein.
1.3 All promises of a reward made by us under these GPP are unilateral legal acts and therefore do not constitute a contractual agreement with any recipient of the promise.
2.1 We are offering prize money in the form of a specific one-off total amount (“Total Prize Money”) to all participants in the sporting competition of an OPCT event who have obtained a Starting Right for that OPCT event by the beginning of the OPCT event at the latest, or who have been nominated as a Playing Partner by a holder of a Starting Right, and actually take part in the OPCT event for which the Starting Right is valid, provided that prize money is specified on the OPCT Website in the description of the relevant OPCT event. For clarification: If no prize money is specified on the OPCT Website for an OPCT event, no prize money is offered for that OPCT event. Insofar as the Event Organiser advertises OPCT events by stating the Total Prize Money or other prizes, this does not constitute a separate or additional offer by the Event Organiser or by us.
2.2 Whether, under which specific conditions and in what amount the Total Prize Money or a portion thereof is awarded to the Participant Team shall be decided, in accordance with separate provisions to be determined by us until the beginning of the respective OPCT Event – and which we may amend until then – (e.g. rules governing the sporting competition), by one or more persons designated by us, and such decision shall be binding and final for the Participant Team.
2.3 Whether, under which specific conditions and with what effect the Participant Team may, depending on the position achieved by the Participant Team at the OPCT Event, qualify for participation in further OPCT Events (these OPCT events “OPCT Qualifier Events”) shall be decided, in accordance with separate provisions to be determined by us until the beginning of the respective OPCT event – and which we may amend until then – (e.g. rules governing the sporting competition), by one or more persons to be designated by us, and such decision shall be binding and final for the Participant Team.
2.4 Where a decision on facts is made in the context of an OPCT sporting competition regarding the awarding of prizes or qualification for an OPCT Qualifier Event, that decision on facts—and consequently the awarding of the prize in question or the decision on qualification for the relevant OPCT Qualifier Event—cannot be challenged and is binding, even if the decision on facts was incorrect. In such a case, legal recourse is excluded for the Customer and the Playing Partner. Furthermore, a decision regarding the awarding of prizes or qualification for an OPCT Qualifier Event is subject to judicial review only if the procedure leading to the decision is vitiated by serious errors which have manifestly also influenced the decision itself.
2.5 If the date or venue of an OPCT Qualifier Event has not yet been confirmed at the time when you acquired the Starting Right from us, through the exercise of which you are eligible to qualify for the OPCT Qualifier Event, and if, in the event of your qualification for the relevant OPCT Qualifier Event, a member of Participant Team is unable to participate for reasons of time, geographical or other reasons, this is at your own risk and you shall have no rights or claims against us, in particular no claim for the rescheduling of the OPCT Qualifier Event or for participation in another comparable OPCT Event.
2.6 All prizes offered and awarded to the Customer and his/her Playing Partner, in particular cash prizes, non-cash prizes and other indivisible prizes, belong jointly to the Customer and the Playing Partner. The Customer and the Playing Partner are joint creditors in respect of all prizes offered and awarded to them within the meaning of Section 428 BGB; it is hereby clarified that this also applies to divisible prizes. If you are joint creditors, this means that each of you is entitled to claim the full prize from us, but we are only obliged to provide the prize to you once and may, at our discretion, provide the prize to either of you; our freedom of choice in this regard also applies if not just one of you, but both of you should claim the prize.
2.7 The promise of reward, in particular of any prize, will be automatically void without compensation if its fulfilment is or becomes prohibited by law or by an official decision. If the contract of the Starting Right is terminated or ends for any other reason, the promise of reward will be automatically void upon the termination of the contract without compensation towards the Participant Team whose contract has been terminated. The same applies (the promise of reward will be automatically void without compensation towards the respective Participant Team) if the Participant Team does not or cannot exercise its Starting Right for other reasons. If the agreement on the Terms and Conditions of Participation with the Customer or with the Playing Partner ends, the promise shall be automatically void without replacement in respect of the person whose agreement on the Terms and Conditions of Participation has ended.
2.8 Any taxes or levies that may arise in connection with prizes offered and awarded shall be borne by the Participant Team. If we collect or pay any taxes or levies on your behalf in respect of a cash prize, the amount of the cash prize payable to you by us shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes and levies. We shall not be liable to you for compliance with tax or levy regulations.
2.9 If a prize has been awarded to a Participant Team, the Participant Team, upon notification from us or the Event Organiser, must be available at the venue for the prize to be handed over as part of the relevant OPCT event. Non-cash prizes are, as a rule, handed over in kind on the spot. Cash prizes are, as a rule, announced and subsequently paid out within fourteen (14) days by bank transfer in euros. The payment period begins once the Customer has provided us in writing with the IBAN, BIC and account holder details of a bank account for the payment.
2.10 If a non-cash prize has been awarded to the Participant Team and this has been communicated to the Participant Team, and if we or the Event Organiser were prepared to hand over the prize to the Participant Team at the venue as part of the relevant OPCT Event, and the Participant Team was not available to receive the prize, we or the Event Organiser may decide that the award of this non-cash prize to the Participant Team is definitively forfeited and that the Participant Team no longer has any claims arising from the award or to the non-cash prize. Under no circumstances is there a right to the delivery of non-cash prizes to the place of residence of the Participant Team or to any other location requested by the Participant Team.
