General Terms and Conditions (GTC)
1.1. These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) regulate the legal relationships between
Bayreuther Festspiele GmbH (hereafter: BF) and the ticket buyers (hereafter Ordering Party) and visitors to the
performances at Richard-Wagner-Festspiele 2020 including the special concert “Beethoven IX.” on August 30, 2020; the
term “performance” used in these GTC includes this special concert.
1.2. By ordering admission tickets for the
Bayreuther Festspiele the Ordering Party recognises the binding nature of these “Business Terms and Conditions of
Use for the Bayreuther Festspiele 2019” (Version Online Orders and Written Orders) as valid for him/herself and all
visitors of the performances who receive tickets for personal use from him/her on the basis of his/her ticket order.
By concluding a contract to visit the performance and by the purchase of one or more tickets, these conditions
become a valid agreement.
2.1. The tickets to a performance are allocated
to various price categories. Tickets from these various price categories can be ordered for one performance. Ticket
prices can be viewed in the respective, currently valid price list.
2.2. In addition to the ticket price, the
following fees apply for each successful order transaction or per invoice:
2.3. Discounts will not be granted.
2.4. Performance programmes and other benefits are not included in the
ticket price.
3.1. In the standard process, invoices
can be viewed, downloaded and printed solely at www.bayreutherfestspiele.de/en/ in the personal log-in area of the
customer (“My Festival”). Before the invoice is made available, the Ordering Party will be informed by email that an
offer can be made for the purchase of tickets and that a corresponding invoice can be called up under “My Festival”.
If the customer chooses to have their tickets sent by postal delivery, which is subject to a fee (2.2., 7.2),
the invoice will also be sent by post.
3.2. Payments are to be made solely in Euro, following issue of the
invoice by BF, and within the payment period stated in the invoice (three weeks as of the invoice date).
3.3.
For payment of the tickets, the following methods of payment are available:
4.1. For the Bayreuther Festspiele 2020 a proportion of the tickets will
be allocated to orders under consideration of previous waiting times (4.7.); a further proportion will be allocated
independently of waiting times on a “first-come, first-served” basis – so-called Online immediate payment
tickets. The procurement of the latter occurs in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions for Online
Immediate Payment Tickets.
4.2. Ticket orders are only accepted via Internet (5.) or in writing (6.).
4.3.
To order a ticket, the valid email address and postal address of the Ordering Party must be provided. If a
professional email address is provided, the customer must him-/herself ensure that such private use of any email
address which is otherwise used for professional purposes is permitted for the purpose of further processing and, if
applicable, processing of the order (e.g. sending the invoice). If the Ordering Party does not have an email address
or does not wish to use an email address for the order process, tickets can only be ordered in conjunction with
postal delivery, for which a separate fee is charged in the event of a successful order (2.2, 7.2.).
4.4.
The processing of ticket orders for the Bayreuther Festspiele 2020 begins as of November 2019. Orders must be placed
in such a way that they are received on the BF server by 31/Oct/2019 at the latest (5.) or in writing by 16/Oct/2019
at the latest (6.).
4.5. Ticket orders for each of the individual performances can only be made by seat
category. Pre-selection of concrete seats is precluded. Orders for several tickets to the same event will be
processed in such a way as to allow ticket holders to be situated adjacent to each other, insofar as suitable places
are available. Due to excess demand, any express wish of the Ordering Party to only procure tickets for adjacent
seats within the scope of the order may influence the waiting times in accordance with 4.7.
4.6. The
performances of the tetralogy “Der Ring des Nibelungen”, consisting of the individual works “Das Rheingold”, “Die
Walküre”, “Siegfried” and “Götterdämmerung”, can only be purchased together as an entire cycle. Notwithstanding this
foregoing first sentence, BF reserves the right to sell the individual works of the tetralogy individually and/or in
pairs (e.g. one ticket for both individual works “Das Rheingold” and “Die Walküre” or a ticket for the two
individual works “Siegfried” and “Götterdämmerung”).
4.7. Orders received will be processed independently of the
order in which they were received. The ticket ordering process occurs under particular consideration of previous
waiting times and the demand for individual performances (new production, weekday, distribution of seats [requests
for adjacent seats only] and price category). If a ticket order took place before the ticket order of 2019, and due
to excess demand was not considered, this will be taken into consideration in the waiting time.
4.8. If the
Ordering Party does not require tickets for the Bayreuth Festival 2020, but wishes to have this year considered as a
waiting year pursuant to 4.7, provision of the corresponding information on the order form is sufficient. A
waiting year can be taken into consideration for a maximum of two consecutive years.
4.9. A maximum of four
tickets can be ordered for one performance of each performed work of the Bayreuther Festspiele 2020. As of price
category (PK) 8, the number has to be limited to two tickets per performed work due to the high demand.
Orders for several performances of the same work will not be considered.
4.10. If the number of tickets ordered
cannot be covered within the scope of the available price categories, then following consideration of the waiting
times pursuant to 4.7., the number of tickets issued may be further limited below the aforementioned limit at 4.9
for each performance and for each order. If alternative seats in another price category are available, BF retains
the right to offer these.
4.11. For each performance there is one wheelchair space and a place for one
accompanying person (price category 6 in each case), which can only be ordered and submitted together. These
places can only be purchased using the online order process (5.) or the written order process (6.).
4.12. For
visitors with limited mobility, up to 20 seats around the edge of the parquet are available for each
performance (in price categories 2 and 3 with barrier-free access). BF is entitled, in the course of
invoicing or before sending the tickets, to request the Ordering Party to provide proof of any corresponding
mobility restrictions (e.g. an according disability pass).
4.13. With the acceptance of the transmitted offer
(5.3. and 6.4.) and the resultant purchase of one or more admission tickets by paying the invoice, a legally
obliging contract comes into existence, relating to attendance at the event, between the Ordering Party and BF; the
enforceability of this contract does not underlie the principles of property laws but the principles of debt
recovery law.
4.14. If no tickets can be issued to the Ordering Party, no separate notification of cancellation
will be given. If the Ordering Party does not receive an invoice by 29/Feb/2020, it can be assumed that the order
was not successful.
5.1. Online orders can be placed following
registration and successful log-in at www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/en/.
5.2. In confirming the completion of the
order transaction by clicking the “Order Now” button, the Ordering Party submits his ticket requests for the
Bayreuther Festspiele 2020 to BF (“invitatio ad offerendum” – invitation to submit an offer). If the wishes of
the purchaser, including the alternative wishes, can be fulfilled in whole or in part by BF, the purchaser will
receive an invoice in accordance with 3.1 – i.e. it will be made available in his personal log-in area
(“My Festival”).
5.3. BF’s invoice is simultaneously valid as an offer to conclude a contract concerning event
attendance under the law of obligations. Payment of the invoice amount within a payment period of three weeks from
the invoice date, which is also the period for acceptance of the offer, shall be deemed binding acceptance of this
offer. The payment (credit entry) of the invoice amount, paid using the payment methods made available, must arrive
at BF within the payment period. In the case of payments made which do not meet the deadline, the offered tickets
may be issued elsewhere. In this case, the customer has no right to claim the previously offered and invoiced
tickets or the issuance of any other tickets. Any right of the person ordering to claim for damages is precluded in
any case.
5.4. Payment of admission tickets using the online order process is possible under recognition of the
stipulation in Par. 3 by means of bank transfer or credit card.
5.5. The Ordering Party is him/herself
responsible for the accuracy of the data that they give within the scope of the order process. This applies both to
the order itself (selection of performances, number of tickets, etc.) and to the personal details (postal address,
email address, etc.). The consequences of any mistakes made will be borne by the Ordering Party.
5.6. The online
order process itself, as well as the concrete ticket order process, may be interrupted at any time or cancelled
completely by BF if a proper or legal execution of the order process is no longer possible. This includes, in
particular, cases involving technical difficulties (hardware and software errors, computer viruses, server problems,
etc.) and external manipulations or manipulation attempts and/or a lack of legal prerequisites.
5.7. BF makes
reference to the link to the EU Commission’s online platform for out-of-court online dispute resolution (so-called
OS platform) http://ec.europa.eu/ consumers/odr/, which is posted on BF’s homepage.
5.8. The email address of BF
is as follows: ticket@bayreuther-festspiele.de
6.1. Written orders are to be sent by
letter post to: Bayreuther Festspiele GmbH, Kartenbüro, Postfach 10 02 62, 95402 Bayreuth. Orders
sent by fax or email will not be accepted and will not be processed.
6.2. The BF order form must be used for
written orders and will be sent by post to the Ordering Party by the BF ticket office together with the order
documents after the Bayreuther Festspiele 2018 in the event of previous written orders and a corresponding request,
or on request at the BF ticket office. As a general rule, freely written orders cannot be processed. BF is not
obliged to clarify queries in cases of freely written orders.
6.3. Upon receipt of the written order by the
ticket office of BF, the Ordering Party submits his ticket requests for the Bayreuther Festspiele 2019 to the BF
(“invitatio ad offerendum” – request to submit an offer). Insofar as the purchaser’s wishes, including
alternative wishes, can be fulfilled in whole or in part by BF, the purchaser will receive an invoice in accordance
with 3.1.
6.4. The provisions at 5.3. to 5.5. shall apply accordingly.
7.1. All tickets of an order transaction
will be issued in the name of the Ordering Party; before the admission tickets are made available or dispatched, the
specific user of the respective admission ticket must also be specified in accordance with the following provisions
and will also be identified on the respective admission ticket.
7.2. In the standard procedure, following
complete payment as of 15/Jun/2020, the tickets can be printed out following successful personalisation (7.3.) under
www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/en/ in the personal log-in area of the customer (“My Festival”). If the customer has
chosen to have their tickets sent to them by post at the time of ordering, the tickets will be sent as printed
tickets by letter post, as of 15/Jun/2020 and at the customer’s risk, to the specified postal address after full
payment has been made and personalisation (7.4.) has been completed. For postal delivery, additional charges are
incurred per order (invoice) in accordance with 2.2. As a general rule, postal delivery is only possible for
domestic orders and orders from other European countries.
7.3. The tickets provided under
www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/en/ in the personal log-in area of the Ordering Party are to be personalised by the
Ordering Party before printing, which is an obligation to be carried out by the Ordering Party, by stating the first
and last name of the respective user. Only tickets that are personalised to the specific user and thus activated are
valid. The personalisation and activation of the tickets by the Ordering Party must take place at the latest seven
calendar days before the respective performance. After expiry of this period, personalisation and activation of the
tickets is no longer possible. No replacement will be made for tickets that were not personalised in due time
(8.1.). Personalised tickets can only be rewritten and assigned to another user by the BF ticket Office in
accordance with 8.2.
7.4. If the Ordering Party has chosen to have their tickets sent to them by post at
the time of ordering, the tickets can, following full payment, be personalised by the Ordering Party in the personal
log-in area of the Ordering Party (“My Festival”) by 14/Jun/2020 at www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/en/ by specifying
the respective user. Only tickets which have been personalised to the specific user are valid and will be sent by
post. If the Ordering Party does not have a personal log-in area, personalisation can also be carried out
analogously using the appropriate form, which – provided the ordering party has chosen to have the tickets sent
by post and an offer to purchase tickets is possible which can be submitted to him/her – is sent to the
Ordering Party together with the invoice and is to be returned by the Ordering Party to the address stated in 6.1.
In the case of online personalisation in accordance with sentence 1 above, the personalisation of the tickets
by the Ordering Party must be effected – irrespective of the specific date of the performance – no later
than 14/Jun/2020, and in the case of analogue personalisation in accordance with sentence 2 above at the latest
03/May/2020 (receipt of the form by BF); after expiry of this period, personalisation and mailing of the tickets is
no longer possible. The provisions under 7.3. Sentences 4 and 5 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
7.5. Date, time and performance on the invoice as well as on the allocated and sent tickets must be checked upon
receipt. BF is to be informed immediately of any mistakes found when comparing the tickets with the order or
invoice.
8.1. Entry tickets already paid for can, as a general
principle, be neither returned nor exchanged. In certain cases the resale of admission tickets by the Ordering party
is subject to a ban on cession (10.4.). No substitution will be given for expired tickets. This also applies in
cases where the tickets have not been personalised and activated within the specified period (7.3.
and 7.4.).
8.2. Admission tickets which have been personalised in accordance with 7.3. or 7.4.
can only be transferred to another person by the BF ticket office at the request of the Ordering Party. Handwritten
changes to the name of the visitor by the Ordering Party or other third parties or any according deletions will
render the ticket invalid. BF is entitled to charge a fee of 5,00 Euros for the transfer. This does not apply if the
Ordering Party provides objective reasons for the necessity of the transfer (e.g. medical certificate, death, etc.).
8.3. Holders of tickets procured via the standard procedure which have not been personalised in accordance with 7.3.
or 7.4. or which have not been transferred in accordance with 8.2. may be denied access and attendance of
the performance by BF.
8.4. Changes in the cast, including changes in the musical direction or the production
team, or any other changes in the running of the performance, do not lead to any entitlement to return tickets.
8.5. In the case of cancellation of the performance, payment made for tickets will only be returned if not more than
one act (Akt or Aufzug) has been shown – this also applies in the case of Der fliegende Holländer and/or in the
case of Das Rheingold if not more than one scene has been shown. The right to refund expires if the claim is not
asserted in at least text form to BF within two weeks after the performance in question.
8.6. In the case of
cancellation of the performance before the performance has begun, the admission tickets affected by the cancellation
of the performance will be withdrawn and the admission fee will be returned, however, not including the charge of
4.00 Euro per ticket (for Der Ring des Nibelungen 4 x 4.00 Euro per ticket), and not including the handling charge
and/or postal delivery charge, insofar as such charges have occurred. The right to refund expires if it is not
asserted within two weeks of the performance in question, at least in text form to BF.
8.7. In cases in which 8.5
and 8.6 become applicable, any further claims or rights of the ticket holder or the person ordering the tickets
are precluded.
9.1. If a ticket is lost, a one-time application for the issue of a
replacement ticket, which will be charged for, can be made up to 30 minutes before the beginning of the performance
at the ticket office of BF, provided the visitor can prove by naming the exact seat or stating plausibly which
ticket has been acquired and lost. The issue of a replacement ticket (duplicate) can only be requested by the
Ordering Party to whom the ticket(s) has/have been issued or by the personalised user on presentation of
photographic ID. Replacement tickets are only issued to these persons as a general rule. The fee for issuing a
replacement ticket is 10 % of the regular purchase price of the ticket, up to a maximum of 20.00 euros.
9.2. In the case of tickets procured via the standard procedure, if two visitors present tickets for the same seat
at a performance, the person to whom the ticket is personalised always has priority over the holder of the other
ticket. In the case of postage tickets, if the original ticket and the replacement ticket for the same seat are
presented by different visitors, then the holder of the original ticket will, as a matter of principle, be given
precedence over the holder of the replacement ticket. The other ticket does not, in either of the two cases, justify
any right to be allocated to another seat or return of the ticket price. In duly justified exceptional cases, the BF
may acknowledge and/or declare a reversal of this general priority. The affected ticket owner in each case has
neither the right to recognition of an exceptional case nor the right to raise a claim against BF on the grounds of
such recognition of an exceptional case in contrast to the usual case.
10.1. BF is sponsored by the delegates of the Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (German
Federal Government for Culture and Media), by Freistaat Bayern (the Free State of Bavaria), by Stadt Bayreuth (the
City of Bayreuth), by the Gesellschaft der Freunde von Bayreuth e.V. (Society of Friends of Bayreuth e.V.) and
Bezirk Oberfranken (the District of Upperfranconia). They feel obliged to a balanced and fair price policy and
endeavour to maintain and implement a socially viable price structure and a fair distribution.
10.2. The
Ordering Party declares by his/her acceptance of the conditions that the admission tickets are being acquired
exclusively for private use.
10.3. The Ordering Party and the person receiving can only cede to a third-party
his/her rights and obligations concluded under this contract concerning event attendance with BF (4.1.), thus also
including, as a result, the right to demand admission to the performanc(es), under the condition that the
third-party assumes all rights and obligations in the stead of the Ordering Party as a contract party with BF and
under the condition that no ban on cession exists as according to the following regulations.
10.4. The resale of
admission tickets is forbidden in the following cases (ban on cession); agreement will not be given in these
cases:
a) Sale or forwarding of admission tickets or the purchase of admission tickets for third parties if this
occurs within the framework of professional and/or commercial business,
b) In the event of the sale of tickets
via unauthorised Internet platforms, for example, and in particular, eBay or non-authorised Online-Ticket-Markets
(e.g. viagogo) or within the scope of Internet auctions; an exception here is sale within the scope of a so-called
“buy it now” sale or “buy it now” sale at a price which is not higher than the original price of the ticket,
including the ticket charge and – if such costs were incurred – the proportion of the processing fee plus
costs which were or will be incurred to the seller during the procurement and/or during the resale of the ticket by
the chosen method (e.g. postage and/or e.g. eBay charge or similar charges);
(c) In the event of the sale of
tickets at a price which is not higher than the original price of the ticket including the ticket charge and –
if such costs were incurred – part of the processing fee plus any costs which have been or will be incurred to
the seller as a result of procurement or resale of the tickets;
d) In the case of sale of tickets to make a
profit or the act of procuring tickets in the name of a third party in order to make a profit by acting as an
agency, although in this respect, the aim of making a profit applies to the intention to sell the ticket at a price
which is higher than the original price of the ticket, including the ticket charge and – if such costs were
incurred – the proportion of the processing fee, plus costs which were or will be incurred to the seller during
the procurement and/or during the resale of the ticket;
e) In the case of handing on tickets to others or
reselling tickets for purposes related to advertising or marketing, as a bonus, give-away or prize or as part of a
hospitality or travel programme which is not authorised by the event organiser, or
f) In the case of sale of
admission tickets without reference to these general terms and conditions.
10.5. The resale or forwarding of
admission tickets whilst maintaining the conditions stated at the above item 10.4. b)-f) remains untouched.
10.6. Admission tickets that are resold and passed on after personalisation (7.3., 7.4.) has been carried out,
must – notwithstanding the foregoing provisions – in accordance with Sections 10.3. and 10.5.,
always be transferred to the new user in accordance with 8.2.
10.7. BF may refuse to hand over and/or send
admission tickets to persons who have violated the foregoing stipulations at 10.2. to 10.4. or who have
attempted to resell the tickets in violation of the above provisions at 10.2. to 10.4. The same applies to
persons who deal with tickets commercially without prior written permission of BF; to persons who have resold or
tried to resell tickets during a Festival season and violated the regulations valid in each case as regards resale
and handing on of tickets by doing so; and to those who make tickets accessible to such persons. In such cases, BF
shall also be entitled to refuse a transfer in accordance with 10.6; this shall apply irrespective of who
requests the transfer. In the case of violation of the foregoing stipulations at 10.2. to 10.4., tickets
which have already been issued and/or sent to the Ordering Party, may be declared invalid (electronic locking of the
barcode) or demanded back by BF. This is also applicable to cases of attempts to sell tickets in violation of the
foregoing stipulations at 10.2. to 10.4.
10.8. Holders of such locked admission tickets can be refused
entry and visitation of the performance by BF.
10.9. BF accepts no liability for the validity of admission
tickets of other ticket sellers nor for their performance nor their prices.
11.1. Only the official publications of BF on the BF-run website
(www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/en/) and on the admission tickets themselves contain binding performance-related data
(date and beginning times). The right to make changes at short notice, for example rescheduling the beginning of the
performance to later on the same day, remains reserved. BF takes no responsibility for statements made in other
publications.
11.2. After the beginning of the performance, visitors can only be admitted to the auditorium
during an official break, for reasons of safety and of consideration towards the performing artists and the other
visitors. Due to current security requirements, there may be delays at the entrance gates to the Festspielhaus as
well as longer waiting times at the cloakroom and/or cloakroom depots in front of the Festspielhaus. The visitors
themselves are responsible for considering such delays. Delays caused in this way do not entitle the visitor to
enter the auditorium after the beginning of the performance.
12.1. BF practices householder’s rights at Festspielhaus Bayreuth. BF is entitled to
declare bans, expel persons from the house and take any other suitable measures within the framework of these
householder’s rights. In particular, visitors can be expelled from performances if they disturb them, bother other
guests or, in any other serious manner or repeatedly, violate the house rules or any conditions of use related to
the event. Access may be refused if there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the visitor will disturb the
performance or harass or disturb other visitors. A refund of the ticket price will not occur in such cases.
12.2. The visitor shall only take up the place which is stated on his/her ticket or the place which the admittance
staff allocate him/her to. If he/she has taken up a seat for which he/she does not possess a valid ticket – in
particular, one which has been personalised to his/her name – or to which he/she has not been allocated, then
BF may instruct the visitor to leave that seat or even the whole performance.
12.3. To privately offer or resell
admission tickets within the rooms or on the grounds of Festspielhaus Bayreuth is forbidden.
12.4. Mobile
electronic devices, pagers and acoustic signalling devices of any kind can only be taken into the auditorium if they
are turned off.
12.5. It is not permitted to take food or drink into the auditorium or to eat or drink
there.
12.6. For reasons relating to animal protection and for reasons of space, blind dogs or other animals
with similar, corresponding functions cannot be taken into the auditorium. If informed in advance, BF will provide
admission personnel for the purpose of guiding affected people and allocating them to their seats.
12.7. For
reasons of safety, it is forbidden to take bulky and – regardless of size – dangerous objects or seat
cushions into the Festspielhaus. Handbags are allowed up to a maximum size of 18cmx26cmx6cm. In the event of
deviating official safety requirements, these shall take precedence.
12.8. Smoking is forbidden in all publicly
accessible rooms of Festspielhaus Bayreuth.
The creation of images or of sound recordings of any kind in the auditorium is prohibited, not least for reasons relating to copyright. Violations may lead to claims for damages or measures in accordance with 12.1.
14.1. In the case that audio-visual
recordings of a performance are made, a visitor may appear within the picture as part of the audience. Also mirrored
images, depending on scenes, are possible. The visitor agrees unconditionally to the utilization of such recordings
and their content to the fullest extent without temporal or spatial limits. Claims, including any relating to
payment, on the part of the affected visitor are not justified by this.
14.2. By purchasing an ticket or
visiting the performance, the visitor declares his/her further agreement that BF, its delegates or any authorised
third-party can make audio-visual recordings or photographic images of the visitor which render the visitor
recognisable as a visitor of the performance, furthermore, that copies of these images may be made and that they may
be utilised with regard to their content to the fullest extent without temporal or spatial limits. Any claims –
including any related to remuneration – of the affected viewers are not justified by this.
14.3. The procurer of
the ticket and the visitor of performance are aware that both in the festival house and on the festival grounds
photographs and audiovisual recordings can be made by other visitors which could render the visitor recognisable as
a visitor of the performance. BF is not liable for such recordings or photographs; this is particularly valid in the
case that such recordings or photographs are made publicly accessible on the Internet (e.g. social media platforms
such as Facebook etc.). The regulation at Paragraph 13, as well as any rights or claims of the involved visitor
against third parties who have taken such photographs or made such recordings and/or made these publicly accessible,
remain untouched.
For damage suffered by a visitor in the rooms or on the grounds of Festspielhaus Bayreuth, then BF, its lawful representatives and its agents will only be liable in cases of wilful damage and gross negligence. This restriction of liability is not valid for claims arising from injury to life, actual bodily harm or harm to health.
16.1. Notwithstanding the data
protection declaration of BF (accessible under: https://www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/en/contact/privacy-policy/, the
personal order data will be collected, processed, stored, and used in compliance with data protection law to the
extent necessary for the initiation and execution of the contract and the processing of the order.
16.2. The
Ordering Party agrees at the latest upon payment of the invoice (acceptance of the offer pursuant to 5.3. or 6.4.)
to the storage and, as set out in the above regulation, the use of his/her personal data. A revocation of this
consent can be expressed at any time to BF. The rights as a data subject of the Ordering Party as well as other
information on data protection pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR can be found at
https://www.bayreuther-festspiele.de/en/contact/privacy-policy/.
16.3. BF also makes use of the services of
other companies and/or individuals (e.g. for dispatch of letters or e-mails, payment processing by credit card or
immediate transfer, etc.) in connection with the execution and handling of the order and/or the contract as well as –
insofar as a registration has been made – the newsletter (Paragraph 17.). These service providers are
given access to the personal information and data of the customer insofar as this is required for the performance of
the respective tasks; however, they may not use this information and data for other purposes. These service
providers are also required to comply with the data protection determinations and the relevant data protection laws.
In addition, BF will disclose the personal data of the Ordering Party, including the personal order data, if BF is
legally obliged to do so or if such disclosure is necessary in order to enforce BF’s Business Terms and Conditions
of Use or other agreements between the Ordering Party and BF or in order to protect the rights of BF and/or the
Ordering Party. This entails an exchange of data with such companies or persons with whom BF cooperates to prevent
or pursue data misuse, fraud, breaches of contract or the like. Otherwise, the data will not be passed on to third
parties for commercial use, which would be in conflict with this data protection declaration and applicable data
protection laws.
By registering for the Bayreuther Festspiele newsletter, the purchaser consents to the use, on the part of BF, of the personal data provided by the Ordering Party, in particular the email address provided and the personal order data, in order to present or offer the Ordering Party both general and personalised advertising and/or special offers and/or services, including BF offers and services in cooperation with third parties (e.g. sponsors). If such advertising or presentation is not (or no longer) desired by the customer, he can revoke his consent at any time. A message in text form to the contact data mentioned in the newsletter (e.g. email, fax, letter) or unsubscription is sufficient. To unsubscribe from the newsletter it is possible to use the link at the end of each email.
In the case that regulations within these General Terms and Conditions of Use should be or become completely or partly inoperative or void, their remaining effectiveness will remain unaffected by this. A void clause or part clause is to be replaced by a regulation which comes, with regard to content, closest to the void regulation.
