1.2. Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH is only willing to enter into contracts under the terms and conditions set out in its terms and conditions and only offers its services (including ancillary and additional services) on the basis of these conditions. Contractual and business terms and conditions of customers only apply if they have been expressly recognized by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH. (Fulfillment) actions or silence on the part of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH do not count as acceptance of contractual or business conditions by customers.

1.3. The terms and conditions can be called up electronically on the website of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH www.urlaubsregion-pyhrn-priel.at ("Website"), printed out, downloaded and saved on a storage medium.

1.4. In the following cases, the general part of the general terms and conditions also apply primarily to the respective provisions listed in the special part of the general terms and conditions, whereby the general part only applies in these cases to the extent that the special parts do not contain any independent provisions:

  • When using the Pyhrn-Priel portal, the provisions of the special section “Use of the Pyhrn-Priel portal” apply.
  • When using the webshop, the provisions of the special section "Webshop" apply.
  • When purchasing and using Pyhrn-Priel-Cards, the provisions of the special section “Pyhrn-Priel-Cards” apply.

  • When using images, the provisions of the special section “Canto Media Database” apply.
  • The provisions of the special section “B2B business” apply to all contracts concluded with companies.

 

2. Offers, prices

Unless otherwise expressly regulated or agreed, offers from Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH are subject to change (non-binding) and only represent an invitation to the customer to submit an offer. Unless otherwise expressly regulated or agreed, prices are to be understood as including the applicable statutory sales tax, i.e. gross, but excluding delivery and shipping costs, which may be shown separately.


3. Warranty, compensation

Unless otherwise expressly regulated or agreed, the statutory warranty and compensation provisions apply. Claims for damages against Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH are excluded in cases of slight negligence, with the exception of damage to persons. Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH is therefore only liable in the event of willful intent or gross negligence, with the exception of personal injury. As far as the liability of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH is excluded, this also applies to its organs, employees and other vicarious agents.

 

4. providing electronic platforms

4.1 Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH operates (in particular on its website) electronic platforms, such as in particular a portal for the provision of information and booking possibilities regarding accommodation, activities and other vacation services (hereinafter referred to as "Pyhrn-Priel Portal") and a web store ("web store") (hereinafter collectively referred to as "platforms"). The provision and operation of these platforms is exclusively in German language. If information as well as registration and ordering processes are occasionally provided in other languages, this is done as a non-binding service of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH and does not constitute any legal claims by customers.

4.2 Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH endeavours to ensure the highest possible and secure availability and functionality of the platforms it operates as well as data processing, transmission and security and to keep disturbances and errors as low as possible. However, Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH does not owe any specific (in particular no permanent, secure, failure and error free) availability and functionality of the platforms and no success of any kind (e.g. unrestricted functioning of the operation, a business transaction or a specific usability or exploitability of the content thereon).

4.3 Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH is not responsible for any loss, damage or security impairments of data that occur outside the sphere of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH (e.g. during transmission via the internet).

4.4 The provision and use of the platforms is free of charge for customers. For third party providers (see point 5.) the provision and use of the platforms is made in return for a contribution to cover costs without the intention of making a commercial profit and in this respect represents a service provided by Pyhrn-Priel Tourism GmbH to promote tourism in the region.

 

5. third party services

5.1 In fulfilment of its duties (in particular on its platforms) Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH provides non-binding and unchecked information on accommodation, activities and other vacation services (hereinafter referred to as "Holiday Services") in the Pyhrn-Priel Region, which are exclusively advertised and offered by external companies, such as the respective accommodation providers, hotel operators, service providers and suppliers (hereinafter referred to as "Third Party Providers"). Pyhrn-Priel Tourism GmbH only provides a platform for the information and offers of the third party providers and does not offer any vacation services or any agency services in this respect. Contracts for booked vacation services are therefore only concluded between the customer and the respective third party supplier and lead to a contractual relationship exclusively between the customer and the respective third party supplier. Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH is in this respect neither a contractual partner nor an agent of the customer or the third party supplier and is in no way (co-)responsible for the fulfilment of pre-contractual, contractual or non-contractual obligations of the customer or the third party supplier. The third party suppliers are also not vicarious agents of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH. Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH does not receive any payment from the third party suppliers for vacation bookings made by customers with the third party suppliers. The third party suppliers only make a contribution to cover the costs of operating the platforms (see above point 4.4.).

5.2 The contracts between the Customer and the third party providers are therefore exclusively subject to the terms and conditions agreed between them, including the terms of payment and any cancellation and rescission options. Contractual claims regarding the vacation services are therefore to be asserted exclusively against the third party provider and any contract rescission and cancellation must be declared exclusively to the third party provider. Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH will forward any correspondence and/or (cancellation) declarations received by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH or declared via its platforms to the respective third party supplier without obligation and without guarantee or assumption of any responsibility and without assuming or acknowledging any legal obligations associated with this.

5.3 Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH assumes no warranty, liability or responsibility whatsoever for the services of the customer or third party providers or for the completeness and correctness of the information, descriptions, details and other content of any kind whatsoever (all in short "content"), which is entered by the third party providers and not checked by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH. Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH neither provides nor owes the customer any verification and control of any kind, on the one hand regarding the third party providers themselves and on the other hand regarding the contents provided by them and placed on the Pyhrn-Priel portal and does not - except in justified individual cases - carry out any verification and control of these contents.

 

6. accommodation classification

The internationally common accommodation classification according to stars gives a non-binding indication of the accommodation standard. The accommodation classification in the documents or on the platforms of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH is exclusively based on the respective categorisation procedure of the responsible chambers (e.g. Chamber of Commerce). All additional content is based on information provided by third parties, for which Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH does not assume any guarantee or liability (see point 5.3.).


7. value vouchers

7.1 Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH offers customers the purchase of vouchers, which can be redeemed at the redemption points listed on the website (hereinafter referred to as "service partners"). In this case a contractual relationship is established between Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH and the customer exclusively for the purchase of the vouchers. Also in this case no contractual relationship is established between Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH and the customer regarding the goods or services to be purchased by customers via the voucher, such as in particular vacation services; such a contractual relationship is only established between the customer and the respective service partner when the vouchers are redeemed (only). Point 5. applies accordingly to the service partners.

7.2 A cash redemption of the voucher or the value certified with it is excluded.

7.3 Customers have the possibility to withdraw from the purchase contract for the acquisition of the vouchers if the conditions set out in the Annex/A Instructions for withdrawal and cancellation are met, if and insofar as the vouchers have not yet been redeemed. To the extent that the vouchers have already been redeemed at the service partners, only the terms and conditions agreed between the customer and the service partner shall apply and any rights of withdrawal and cancellation shall also be governed by these terms and conditions.

 

8. intellectual property rights, copyrights

8.1 Unless expressly agreed otherwise with the customer, all intellectual property rights (including industrial property rights) remain the exclusive property of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH. The customer does not receive or acquire any rights whatsoever. Customers are only permitted to use the products in accordance with their personal, intended and unalterable use in compliance with these General Terms and Conditions and the respective applicable legal regulations. Any other use, exploitation, modification, duplication or distribution requires the prior explicit consent of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH.

8.2 If Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH has not expressly granted the customer the right to use or authorise the use of copyrighted works of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH (e.g. software, databases, contents, plans, sketches, brochures, catalogs, presentations) in accordance with § 24 Copyright Act as amended ("UrhG"), the rights of use in accordance with §§ 14 to 18a UrhG remain exclusively with Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH.

10.1 The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (OS), which can be found at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr Consumers within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act as amended ("KSchG") have the opportunity to use this platform for the settlement of their disputes.

2. offer, contract conclusion in the webshop

2.1 All offers of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH in the webshop are limited by the availability of goods and are to be understood only as an invitation to place an order. For the customer's order, consent to the General Terms and Conditions of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH as well as, if necessary, to the processing of certain personal data, which would not be covered by any other legality condition in terms of Art 6 para. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (Data Protection Basic Regulation), is required. The customer gives the above-mentioned consent by actively clicking on the corresponding tick boxes and only the order, which is subsequently sent by clicking on the button "Order subject to payment" at the end of the ordering process, constitutes a legally binding offer.

2.2 A contract is only concluded after express acceptance by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH. Acceptance by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH shall be effected by sending an order confirmation within four working days, whereby Saturday does not count as a working day, or by direct dispatch of the goods. The automatic confirmation of receipt by email, in which the customer's order is again stated, only documents the technical receipt or receipt of the customer's order by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH and does not constitute acceptance.

2.3 Subsequent requests for changes can only be carried out in exceptional cases - without legal claim by the customer - and against separate reimbursement of costs.

 

3. prices, terms of payment, delivery

3.1 Unless other amounts are expressly stated in the web store, the following flat-rate delivery and shipping costs will be charged:

Delivery of the ordered goods shall only take place after receipt of the full invoice amount on the bank account of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH. Should no contract be concluded after payment due to lack of acceptance by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH (e.g. because the ordered goods or the ordered quantity is no longer available), the amount will be refunded immediately by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH. If the goods designated by the customer in the order are only temporarily unavailable, Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH will inform the customer of this in the order confirmation. In case of a delivery delay of more than two weeks the customer has the right to withdraw from the contract. Should not all desired goods be in stock and therefore not immediately available, partial deliveries are permitted. In this case, subsequent deliveries are free of shipping costs.

3.4 Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH currently accepts the following payment methods (i) credit card, (ii) PayPal and (iii) immediate bank transfer.

3.5 Shipment is carried out using standard transport service providers (such as the Austrian Post AG). The risk shall pass to the customer upon delivery of the goods to the carrier.

3.6 Operational disruptions and events of force majeure as well as other events outside the sphere of influence of Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH, in particular delivery delays of more than two weeks on the part of sub-suppliers, entitle Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH to withdraw from the contract with regard to the part of the contract not yet fulfilled.

 

4. retention of title

4.1 Goods remain the property of Pyhrn-Priel Tourism GmbH until full payment of the purchase price and all costs and expenses. Resale is only permitted if Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH has been informed of this in good time in advance, stating the name and exact business address of the purchaser, and Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH expressly agrees to the sale.

4.2 In case of delayed payment Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH is entitled to assert its rights arising from the reservation of ownership. The assertion of the reservation of title by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH does not constitute withdrawal from the contract, unless Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH expressly declares its withdrawal from the contract.


5. default of acceptance

If the customer is in default of acceptance Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH has the right to withdraw from the contract after setting a reasonable period of grace and to resell the goods after having withdrawn from the contract. In the event that Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH exercises this right of withdrawal, the customer shall pay a lump sum of 10% of the invoice amount as compensation for the expenses incurred by Pyhrn-Priel Tourismus GmbH and subject to the right of judicial mitigation. The assertion of further damages remains unaffected.
