Terms & Conditions
PB Day
This is a courtesy translation. The legally binding version is the German "Teilnahmebedingungen".
By registering, the participant accepts the following terms and conditions. In the version valid at the time of registration, they form part of the contract between the participant and the organiser.
1. Organiser and contract
Organiser. The organiser and the participant's contractual partner is the provider named in the event description or the legal notice ("Impressum") of this website.
Binding registration. The participant's registration is binding. The participation contract is concluded upon confirmation of the registration or receipt of payment.
Correct information. The participant confirms that their information (name, year of birth, discipline, and seed time where applicable) is complete and correct.
Strictly personal participation. Participation is a strictly personal right. The starting place and bib number are not transferable to other persons.
2. Eligibility and age
Minimum age. Participation generally requires a minimum age of 18 on the day of the event. Only where an event explicitly offers competitions for minors is the participation of minors permitted – and only with the verified consent of their legal guardians, who in that case conclude the participation contract on behalf of the minor.
Voluntary participation. The participant takes part voluntarily and on their own responsibility.
3. Entry fee, withdrawal and right of cancellation
Entry fee. The entry fee in the announced amount becomes due upon registration.
Withdrawal by the participant. In the event of non-attendance or withdrawal for reasons within the participant's sphere, there is no claim to a refund of the entry fee unless expressly agreed otherwise. Refund claims arising from a cancellation, postponement or non-performance by the organiser remain unaffected (see clause 9).
Right of cancellation. The registration concerns a date-specific leisure event. For such contracts there is no statutory right of cancellation under § 312g (2) no. 9 of the German Civil Code (BGB).
4. Health and personal responsibility
Fitness to participate. The participant is in good health for sport, sufficiently trained and physically able to take part in the chosen discipline. Assessing their state of health is their own responsibility.
Medical examination. The participant is aware that a sports medical examination before participation is recommended.
Insurance. The participant is responsible for adequate insurance cover (in particular accident and liability insurance).
5. Participation at own risk
Own risk. The participant takes part at their own risk and bears the risk associated with participation themselves. This does not apply to damage for which the organiser is responsible within the scope of its liability under clause 8.
6. Rules and instructions
Regulations. The participant accepts the event announcement and the competition regulations.
Instructions. The participant will unconditionally follow the instructions of the organisers, referees and judges, course marshals, stewards and the medical staff.
Medical reservation. The medical staff is entitled to prohibit the participant's (continued) participation for health reasons.
7. Anti-doping and exclusion
Anti-doping. The participant refrains from taking any prohibited, performance-enhancing substances.
Exclusion. The organiser may disqualify the participant or exclude them from the event in the case of false information, rule violations, unsporting or dangerous behaviour, suspicion of prohibited substances, or health concerns.
8. Liability
Unlimited liability. The organiser is liable without limitation for damage resulting from injury to life, body or health, for intent and gross negligence, and in cases of mandatory statutory liability (e.g. under the Product Liability Act).
Slight negligence. In the case of slightly negligent breach of a material contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance possible in the first place and on whose compliance the participant may regularly rely), liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.
Otherwise. Any further liability of the organiser, its representatives and vicarious agents is excluded.
Items. For items brought along (e.g. at unsupervised cloakrooms) no liability beyond the above liability regime is assumed.
Own causation. The participant is liable themselves for damage that they culpably cause to other participants, the organiser or third parties.
9. Cancellation, postponement and force majeure
Cancellation by the organiser. The organiser is entitled to cancel, postpone, shorten or abort the event in the event of force majeure, official orders, weather conditions or for safety reasons.
Refund. If the event is cancelled before it takes place or does not take place, the entry fee will be refunded; demonstrably incurred, proportionate costs (e.g. for personalised starting documents) may be deducted. In the case of postponement, the participant may choose to take part or request a refund. Any further claims for damages exist only within the scope of liability under clause 8.
10. Photo, film and audio recordings
Information about recordings. This clause informs the participant that, in order to document what happens at the event, photo, film and audio recordings of the entire event are made. Participants as well as guests may be depicted in them. These recordings may be used, published and passed on to media and cooperation partners by the organiser and by third parties commissioned by it for the documentation, reporting and promotion of the event (e.g. website, social media, press, print). There is no claim to remuneration.
Legal basis. The recordings and their use are not based on consent, but serve the organiser's legitimate interests in documenting and reporting on the event as an event of contemporary history (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with § 23 KUG). A separate consent is therefore not required; withdrawal of a consent is therefore not applicable. This clause serves information purposes only.
11. Data protection and result lists
Processing. The participant's personal data is processed to run the event, for timekeeping and for payment processing, and is passed on to commissioned service providers for this purpose.
Result lists. Start and result lists (e.g. name, club, year of birth, discipline, time, ranking) may be published. The legal basis is – where the participant consents to it – their consent, otherwise the legitimate interest in proper competition documentation. The participant may withdraw a granted consent at any time with effect for the future.
The participant's rights. Further information on the processing of their data and on their rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, withdrawal) can be found in the organiser's privacy policy.
12. Final provisions
Applicable law. The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country of the participant's habitual residence remain unaffected.
Invalid clauses. Should a provision of these terms and conditions be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected; the statutory provisions (§ 306 BGB) take the place of the invalid provision.
