A binding rental agreement between us and the contractual partner (hereinafter, depending on the context, referred to as &#8220;<b>Contractual Partner<\/b>&#8221; or &#8220;<b>Lessee<\/b>&#8220;) is concluded upon the contractual partner&#8217;s signing of the offer and our written acceptance thereof as the Lessor. <\/p>\n<p>2.3 A booking inquiry from the contractual partner does not yet constitute a contract. The contract is only concluded upon the written acceptance of the offer by both contracting parties or by a separate written contract confirmation from the Lessor and the timely receipt of the reservation fee (Section 3.1). <\/p>\n<p>2.4 Oral collateral agreements as well as changes or additions to the contract require written form to be effective. This also applies to waiving the written form requirement. <\/p>\n<p>2.5 Date reservations can be made without obligation. A reservation does not establish a right to conclude a rental agreement. <\/p>\n<p>2.6 The Lessor is entitled to limit the duration of reservations. If no binding booking or contract signing occurs within the set period, the reservation can be canceled without further notice, without giving rise to claims against the Lessor. <\/p>\n<p>2.7 The Lessee is obliged to inform the Lessor immediately in writing of any significant changes to the event. Changes require the Lessor&#8217;s consent if they affect safety, capacities, official permits, or the services agreed upon in the contract. <\/p>\n<p>2.8 The Lessor is in no case the organizer within the meaning of the Lower Austrian Event Act (N\u00d6 Veranstaltungsgesetz). If the contractual partner does not name a separate organizer, it is assumed that the contractual partner itself is the organizer within the meaning of the Lower Austrian Event Act. <\/p>\n<p>2.9. It is hereby noted that the exception of \u00a7 1 para 2 Z 3 lit a) MRG applies, so that only the provisions of the ABGB (Austrian Civil Code) are applicable to the tenancy resulting from a contract.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Down Payment and Securities<\/b><\/p>\n<p>3.1 The Lessor charges a reservation fee, the timely receipt of which on the Lessor&#8217;s account by the date specified in the offer or contract is an express prerequisite for the effective conclusion of the contract. If payment is not made on time, no contractual relationship is established, and we are to be held completely harmless by the contractual partner for all resulting damages and disadvantages. <\/p>\n<p>No later than two months before the start of the event, the remaining agreed rent according to the offer or contract, plus statutory VAT and any contract fees, must be paid in full. This payment constitutes an advance rent payment and will be credited to the final invoice. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Lessor is entitled to demand a separate deposit to secure claims for damages, extraordinary cleaning costs, outstanding claims for additional services, or other claims arising from the contractual relationship. The amount and due date of such a deposit, as well as the modalities for its refund, will be specified in the offer or contract. <\/p>\n<p>The reservation fee and the advance rent payment will be taken into account in the final settlement. In the event of a cancellation, the agreed cancellation conditions apply. <\/p>\n<p>3.2 If agreed down payments or reservation fees are not made on time, the Lessor is entitled to withdraw from the contract or cancel the booking, without giving rise to claims against the Lessor.<\/p>\n<p>3.3 All agreed reservation fees, advance rent payments, deposits, and other fees due before the start of the event must have been received in full on the Lessor&#8217;s account before the rental object is handed over.<\/p>\n<p>The Lessor is entitled to refuse the handover of the event rooms, the release for setup, or the execution of the event until all due amounts have been paid in full, without giving rise to claims by the Lessee.<\/p>\n<p>3.4 All additional services utilized during the event, in particular personnel, technical, cleaning, security, energy, disposal, or other additional services, will be charged separately according to actual expenditure, as per the offer, price list, or final invoice.<\/p>\n<p>The Lessor is entitled to offset these claims against any deposits or securities provided.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Authorities and Permits<\/b><\/p>\n<p>4.1 The conclusion of the contract does not replace official permits. The Lessee is solely responsible for obtaining all permits, approvals, and notifications required for the event, unless these are expressly undertaken by the Lessor. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>4.2 The Lessor is entitled to demand proof of required permits before the start of the event. If these are not submitted on time, the Lessor may prohibit the execution of the event or withdraw from the contract. In this case, the Lessor is entitled to demand a cancellation fee (contractual penalty) equal to the entire agreed rent. The assertion of further demonstrable damages remains reserved for the Lessor. The Lessee must also indemnify the Lessor against all third-party claims resulting from the lack of a permit.    <\/p>\n<p>4.3. Should an administrative penalty be imposed on the Lessor due to missing official permits, the procurement of which falls under the Lessee&#8217;s obligation, the Lessee must fully indemnify and hold the Lessor harmless in this regard.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Rental Object<\/b><\/p>\n<p>5.1 The Lessor provides the Lessee with the event areas, halls, rooms, and, if applicable, agreed ancillary areas, facilities, and equipment specified in the rental agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as &#8220;<b>Rental Object<\/b>&#8220;) for temporary use.<\/p>\n<p>5.2 The scope, location, size, and equipment of the rental object are exclusively derived from the respective rental agreement and the attachments and service descriptions listed therein.<\/p>\n<p>5.3 The provision is exclusively for the agreed event duration, including the contractually stipulated setup and dismantling times.<\/p>\n<p>5.4 The Lessor reserves the right to assign technically or organizationally equivalent rooms or areas to the Lessee if this is necessary for operational reasons and reasonable for the Lessee.<\/p>\n<p>5.5 A claim to the exclusive use of other areas of the premises, parking spaces, storage areas, traffic routes, or other facilities only exists if this has been expressly agreed upon in the contract. Otherwise, the Lessee acknowledges that other events may take place in indoor or outdoor areas of the venue not rented by them, which may lead to overlaps in the use of generally used premises (corridors, stairs, restrooms). The Lessee must tolerate the co-use of the general areas necessary for the use of the provided rooms (sanitary facilities, access routes, corridors, restrooms, etc.) by other contractual partners of the Lessor and their guests.  <\/p>\n<p>5.6 The Lessor&#8217;s traffic, safety, and parking regulations must be observed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>5.7 Emergency exits and safety areas must be kept clear at all times. Illegally parked vehicles may be removed at the owner&#8217;s expense. <\/p>\n<p><b>6. Purpose of Use<\/b><\/p>\n<p>6.1 The rental object may only be used for the event purpose specified in the rental agreement.<\/p>\n<p>6.2 Any change in the nature, scope, or character of the event requires the Lessor&#8217;s prior written consent.<\/p>\n<p>6.3 The Lessee is obliged to provide the Lessor with all information necessary for the assessment of the event completely and truthfully. This includes, in particular, the type of event, number of visitors, program sequence, technical requirements, and safety-relevant circumstances. <\/p>\n<p>6.4 The use of the rental object for illegal purposes, events with discriminatory, racist, violence-glorifying, or otherwise unlawful content, as well as events that may endanger public safety and order, is prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>6.5 The Lessor is entitled to prohibit the execution of an event or to terminate the contract extraordinarily if circumstances become known retrospectively that suggest a danger to persons, property, the Lessor&#8217;s reputation, or a violation of legal regulations. In this case, the Lessor is entitled to the entire agreed rent, and the Lessee must fully indemnify and hold the Lessor harmless. <\/p>\n<p><b>7. Camping and Outdoor Areas<\/b><\/p>\n<p>7.1 The use of camping and outdoor areas is only permitted with prior approval. The Lessee is responsible for safety, order, hygiene, noise protection, and waste disposal. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>7.2 The areas must be handed over properly cleared and cleaned after the event.<\/p>\n<p><b>8.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  <\/span><b>Visitor and Capacity Limits<\/b><\/p>\n<p>8.1 The maximum permissible number of visitors is determined by official permits, safety regulations, and the Lessor&#8217;s specifications.<\/p>\n<p>8.2 The Lessee is obliged to comply with the permissible maximum capacities and to take appropriate measures for visitor guidance and access control.<\/p>\n<p>8.3 Exceeding the permissible number of visitors entitles the Lessor to take appropriate measures to avert danger or to interrupt or cancel the event. The costs incurred as a result shall be borne by the Lessee. <\/p>\n<p><b>9. Transfer to Third Parties<\/b><\/p>\n<p>9.1 The complete or partial transfer of the rental object to third parties, in particular subletting or other provision for use, is only permitted with the Lessor&#8217;s prior written consent.<\/p>\n<p>9.2 Even in the event of an approved transfer to third parties, the Lessee remains responsible to the Lessor for fulfilling all contractual obligations.<\/p>\n<p><b>10. Compliance with Legal Regulations<\/b><\/p>\n<p>10.1 The Lessee undertakes to use the rental object in compliance with all applicable legal provisions, official requirements, safety regulations, and the Lessor&#8217;s house and operating rules.<\/p>\n<p>10.2 The Lessee bears sole responsibility for the proper execution of the event and compliance with all event-related regulations, unless these are expressly undertaken by the Lessor.<\/p>\n<p>10.3 The Lessee must ensure that the event does not cause any impairments, dangers, or damages to persons, buildings, facilities, or the surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>10.4 The Lessee must comply with all legal and official noise protection regulations and is responsible for all noise emissions emanating from their event. The Lessor is entitled to limit volumes and, in the event of violations, to take appropriate measures up to the interruption or termination of the event. <\/p>\n<p><b>11. Rental Price<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>11.1 The Lessee must pay the rental price agreed in the rental agreement for the provision of the rental object.<\/p>\n<p>11.2 The rental price exclusively includes the services expressly listed in the rental agreement.

Ancillary Costs and Additional Services<\/b><\/p>\n<p>12.1 In addition to the agreed rental price, all event-related ancillary costs will be charged to the Lessee, unless these are expressly included in the rental price.<\/p>\n<p>12.2 These include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<p>Costs for electricity and water consumption, heating, air conditioning and ventilation costs, costs for cleaning, waste disposal and special cleaning, costs for security personnel, usher services, fire safety guards and medical services, costs for technical support, event technology as well as setup and dismantling services, costs for additional facilities, furniture, stage, lighting and sound technology, officially prescribed duties and fees, costs for the removal of damage or extraordinary soiling.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>12.3 Consumption-dependent services will be charged according to actual expenditure or based on the Lessor&#8217;s currently valid price lists.<\/p>\n<p>12.4 The Lessor is entitled to issue a final invoice for all incurred additional and ancillary costs after the event.<\/p>\n<p>12.5 The Lessor is entitled to subsequently charge all actually incurred ancillary costs, additional services, damages, or additional expenses within the framework of a final invoice after the event.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The final invoice is due immediately upon invoicing.<\/p>\n<p><b>13.

Default of Payment<\/b><\/p>\n<p>14.1 If the Lessee defaults on a payment, the Lessor is entitled to charge statutory default interest as well as all reminder, collection, and legal fees necessary for appropriate legal action.<\/p>\n<p>14.2 If the Lessee remains in default of payment despite a written reminder and a reasonable grace period, the Lessor is entitled to withdraw from the contract, refuse the use of the rental object, revoke already granted access or usage authorizations, and assert a contractual penalty equal to the agreed rental price as well as any further claims for damages.<\/p>\n<p>14.3 The assertion of further legal or contractual claims remains unaffected by this.<\/p>\n<p><b>15. Price Adjustments<\/b><\/p>\n<p>15.1 If, after the conclusion of the contract, statutory levies, taxes, fees, or officially prescribed costs are increased or newly introduced, the Lessor is entitled to pass on these additional costs to the Lessee.<\/p>\n<p>15.2 For long-term contractual relationships or bookings with an event date more than twelve months after the conclusion of the contract, the Lessor is entitled to adjust prices and other costs for the first time after 12 months from the conclusion of the contract and after every further 12 months, to the extent resulting from the change in the Consumer Price Index 2025 published by Statistics Austria.
