General Terms and Conditions of Amateur Chess Organization GmbH (ACO)
We would like to draw your attention at this point to our General Terms and Conditions; these supplement the legal provisions
of §§ 651a-y of the German Civil Code and, insofar as effectively agreed, are an integral part of the package tour agreement
entered into between yourself and us. Please take the time to read through these terms and conditions in peace and quiet.
Please get in touch should you have any questions and we would be only too pleased to assist you.
-1- Conclusion of the package tour agreement
1.1. By registering for the tour, the traveller offers to conclude a binding travel tour agreement with Amateur Chess Organization
GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the ACO). Registration can be undertaken in writing, electronically, verbally or by telephone. The
agreement comes into effect upon acceptance by the ACO. Acceptance need not be in any specific form. Upon or immediately after the conclusion of the agreement, the ACO shall provide the traveller with travel confirmation on a permanent data carrier.1.2. If the content of the travel confirmation deviates from the content of the registration, this represents a new offer from the ACO to which the ACO is committed for a period of 10 days. The agreement comes into being based on this new offer if the traveller
expressly declares his or her the acceptance within the commitment period or pays a deposit or the full tour price.
1.3. The traveller is responsible for all contractual obligations of fellow travellers for whom he makes the travel booking, as he
or she is for his or her own contractual obligations, provided that he or she has accepted this obligation by means of a specific and separate declaration.
-2- Payment
2.1. Payment towards the tour price prior to the end of the tour may only be requested or accepted if the ACO can point to a
customer money credit protection agreement being in place, the ACO has informed the traveller of this in accordance with § 651t
of the German Civil Code and has previously submitted to the customer a chattel paper as defined in § 651r (4) of the German Civil Code.
2.2. After conclusion of the agreement and submission of the chattel paper, a deposit in the amount of 20% of the tour price
falls due.
2.3. The remaining tour price falls due for payment 28 days prior to the start of the tour if the tour can no longer be cancelled in
accordance with Clause 5.1.
In the case of bookings at short notice (less than 28 days prior to the start of the tour), the full tour price immediately falls due for
payment upon handover of the travel documents if the tour can no longer be cancelled in accordance with Clause 5.1.
If cancellation in accordance with Clause 5.1. is possible, the remaining payment only falls due at the end of the cancellation
period, although at least 28 days prior to the start of the tour.
2.4. If the traveller is in arrears with payment of the deposit or remaining sum, the ACO is entitled, after first sending a reminder and setting a payment deadline (which is not complied with) and then threatening withdrawal, to withdraw from the agreement
and request compensation in the amount of the agreed lump-sum compensation (see Clause 4.2.).
-3- Service and price changes
3.1. Changes to individual travel services that differ from the agreed content of the package tour agreement that become
necessary after the conclusion of the agreement, and which the ACO have not brought about in bad faith, are only permitted if
the changes are not substantial and the overall arrangements of the booked tour are not negatively affected. Transfer and flight times indicated are subject to change, unless this would cause unreasonable interference to an agreed night’s sleep. In the case
of air travel, we reserve the right to change the airlines mentioned unless a specific airline has been expressly agreed.3.2. Any declaration regarding changes to travel services may only be made prior to the start of the tour.
The ACO is obliged to inform the traveller of changes immediately after becoming aware of the reasons for them by means of a
permanent data carrier.
In the event of a substantial change, the ACO shall also provide details regarding the implications of the change for the tour price
in accordance with § 651g III Clause 2 of the German Civil Code.
Substantial changes may not be implemented without the consent of the traveller - please refer to the provisions of §§ 651f and
g of the German Civil Code.
3.3. In accordance with the provisions of §§ 651f and g of the German Civil Code, the ACO reserves the right to change as
follows the agreed tour price in the event of an increase in transport costs (fuel and other energy sources), an increase in taxes
and other charges for agreed travel services, such as tourist taxes, port and airport charges, or a change in the rates of exchange
applicable to the tour in question:
a. If the transport costs, in particular fuel costs (or other energy sources), increase after the conclusion of the agreement, the
ACO can increase the tour costs as follows:
aa. An increase based on a seat can be calculated and a proportion passed onto the traveller.
bb. In other cases, the additional (increased) transport costs required by the transport company for each means of transport
shall be divided by the number of seats and/or beds accommodated by the means of transport. The resulting increase for the
individual seat can be requested from the traveller by the ACO.
b. If there is an increase in fees that are in place at the time the package tour agreement is concluded and are payable by the
ACO, such as port and airport charges and tourist tax, a proportion of this increase can be passed onto travellers by the ACO.
c. In the event of an increase in the exchange rates after the conclusion of the package tour agreement, the tour price can be
increased to the extent that the former increases the cost of the tour for the ACO.
d. If there is a subsequent change to the tour price, the ACO must inform the traveller of this immediately and provide the details
on a permanent data carrier. The traveller must be informed no later than 20 days prior to the start of travel.
3.4. In the event of a substantial change to a key travel service or a price increase for the reasons above of more than 8%, the
traveller is entitled to withdraw from the agreement free of charge or the traveller can ask to join an alternative tour if one is
offered by the ACO.
3.5. The traveller is entitled to claim a price reduction if corresponding costs (Clause 3.3.) decrease or change and this results
in lower costs for the ACO.
3.6. Substantial contractual changes and a price increase of more than 8% are only permitted with the consent of the traveller.
The ACO shall inform the traveller of contractual changes, including the reasons for them, as soon as they are informed of the
reasons for such changes, and shall provide the details on a permanent data carrier. The ACO can request that the traveller,
within a reasonable period of time stipulated by the ACO, accepts the offer of a substantial change or a price increase of more
than 8% or alternatively declares his or her withdrawal from the agreement. At the end of the period of time stipulated by the
ACO, it is assumed that the offer of a substantial contractual change or a price increase of more than 8% is accepted. Alongside
the possibility of accepting a substantial contractual change or a price increase of more than 8%, the ACO can offer the traveller
the option of taking part in an alternative tour.
-4- Withdrawal of the traveller, replacement travellers and important insurance policies
4.1. The traveller can withdraw from the tour at any time prior to the start of the journey. The key factor is the point at which the
declaration of withdrawal is received by the ACO. It is recommended that the traveller submits any withdrawal in writing.
4.2. If the traveller withdraws from the package tour agreement (cancellation) or does not arrive for the tour, the ACO loses
its claim to the tour cost but can request a lump sum in compensation in accordance with § 651h II of the German Civil Code.
The compensations claim will be calculated in accordance with the following compensation lump sums.
The withdrawal costs are for each traveller:
Up to day 31 before the start of the tour 20% of the total priceBetween days 30 and 15 before the start of the tour 25% of the total price
Between days 14 and 8 before the start of the tour 45% of the total priceBetween days 7 and 1 before the start of the tour 60% of the total price
On the day of departure or in the event of a no-show 70% of the total price
The key date for calculation is the day on which the declaration of withdrawal is received.
The traveller is at liberty to prove to the ACO that the ACO has incurred no damages at all or damages that amount to considerably
less than the lump sum withdrawal costs. If the damages incurred by the ACO are less than these costs or the lump sum amounts
do not apply, the ACO shall calculate precisely the damages it has incurred by calculating compensation in accordance with
the tour price less the value of the expenses saved by the ACO and less those expenses that the ACO acquires through
alternative use of the travel services. In the event of withdrawal, the ACO is obliged to immediately repay the tour price less the
compensation amount.
4.3. If the traveller withdraws from the agreement due to the occurrence of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances at or
in the immediate vicinity of the destination that could have a substantially negative effect on the provision of the package tour or
the transport of people to the destination, the ACO cannot request any compensation and shall immediately refund the tour price
to the customer. Please refer to § 651h III of the German Civil Code.
4.4.Until the start of travel, the traveller can request that a third party takes the place of the traveller with respect to the traveller’s rights and obligations arising from the agreement; please refer to the provisions of § 651e of the German Civil Code.
The ACO can decline this request if the third party does not fulfil the contractual travel requirements.In the event of the agreement being transferred, the original traveller and the replacement participant are liable as joint debtors
for the travel costs and for the additional costs due to the involvement of the third party.
The ACO must provide the traveller with proof of the extent of the additional costs due to the involvement of the replacement
traveller.
4.5. It is recommended that a cancellation costs insurance policy (for example, with HanseMerkur Versicherung, www.hmrv.de)
and an insurance policy to cover the costs of assistance, including return transport in the event of an accident, illness of death,
are taken out (for example, with HanseMerkur Versicherung, www.hmrv.de).
-5- Withdrawal by the ACO (such as in the event of the minimum number of participants not being achieved)
5.1. In the event that the minimum number of participants advertised is not achieved, the ACO can only withdraw from the
contract if
a. the minimum number of participants (see right page under further information) required is stated in the pre-contractual
information and description of travel as well as the time by which the traveller must have received the declaration before the
contractually agreed tour start and
b. a clearly readable reference to these details is made in the travel confirmation.The latest a withdrawal can be made is on the date notified to the traveller in the pre-contractual information and the travel confirmation. Please refer to the withdrawal periods in accordance with § 651h IV of the German Civil Code.If the ACO withdraws from the tour, the customer shall immediately be repaid any payments already made towards the cost of
travel.
5.2. Please refer to § 651h IV No. 2 of the German Civil Code with regard to the legal withdrawal options available to the ACO
due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances.
-6- Guarantee
6.1. If contractually agreed travel services are not provided, the traveller can request redress. The failing must be notified immediately to the local tour manager, to the ACO or to the travel agent.
6.2. The traveller can request a corresponding reduction in the tour price for the period in which the tour is not provided in
accordance with the agreement. This reduction does not apply if the traveller intentionally neglects to inform ACO of the failing
and, as a result, the ACO cannot provide redress.
6.3. If the tour is substantially impaired as a result of a failing, the traveller can terminate the package tour agreement in
accordance with § 651l of the German Civil Code. However, it is only permissible for the traveller to terminate the package tour
agreement if the ACO has not provided redress after the traveller has stipulated a reasonable deadline for this. It is not necessary
to set a deadline if the redress is impossible, is refused by the ACO or if immediate termination is justified in the special interests of the traveller.
-7- Liability
7.1. The contractual liability of the ACO for damages, excluding physical injury, is limited to three times the tour price, insofar as
the ACO has not culpably caused such damages.
7.2. Excursions offered and booked by the local tour manager with an independent organisation or by other people within an
independent organisation at the holiday destination (including theatre visits, sporting events etc.), transport services, sporting
activities and hire cars (and motorbikes) are not part of the contents of the package tour agreement between the traveller and
the ACO; the ACO accepts no liability for such services.
7.3. A claim for compensation against the ACO is limited or excluded insofar as a claim for compensation against the service
provider arises or is only asserted under certain conditions or restrictions based on international agreements, or legal regulations
based on such, which apply to the services to be provided by a service provider and can be or are excluded under certain
conditions. Please refer to the legal provisions of § 651p II of the German Civil Code.
-8- The traveller’s duty of cooperation
The traveller is obliged to cooperate, within the framework of statutory provisions, in the event of disruptions in performance, in
order to avoid any damages or to minimise the latter. In particular, the traveller is obliged to immediately submit any complaints
to the local tour operator, to the ACO or the travel agency. If the traveller intentionally fails to report a failing, the traveller has
no claim to a reduction (§ 651m of the German Civil Code) or compensation for damages (§ 651n of the German Civil Code) if
the ACO could not provide redress due to the failure not being notified. This does not apply if the notification is clearly futile or is unreasonable for other reasons. Damage or delays to luggage handed over during air travel should be reported immediately at
the airport by submitting written notice of the damage to the airline responsible.
-9- The ACO’s duty to provide assistance
If the traveller gets into difficulties, the ACO must provide him or her with appropriate assistance without delay. Please refer to § 651q of the German Civil Code. If the traveller finds himself/herself in such a situation, it is recommended that he or she immediately makes contact with the tour manager or the ACO using the contact details provided in Clause 17.
-10- Notification of claims, limitation period and non-assignment clause10.1. Claims due to the tour not being provided in accordance with the contract must be submitted to the ACO at the address
stated in Clause 17. Claims against the ACO can also be submitted via the travel agent. It is recommended that claims are
submitted in writing. Special deadlines apply to the notification of damage to luggage and luggage delays within the framework of air transportation. Damage to luggage is to be reported within 7 days, and delayed luggage is to be reported within 21 days
of the surrender of the luggage.
10.2. In accordance with 651i III of the German Civil Code, the limitation period is two years for claims made by the traveller on
account of failures. The limitation period commences on the day that the package tour should have ended under the contract.
10.3. Non-assignment clause: The assignment of claims of the traveller against the ACO to a third party is excluded. This
prohibition does not apply in the case of a family trip that includes other family members amongst the travelling party.
-11- Passport, visa and health provisions
11.1. Before and agreement is signed, the ACO must notify travellers of conditions relating to passport and visa regulations
(including the approximate time required to obtain a visa) as well as any applicable changes that occur before the start of travel.
Before any agreement is signed, the ACO shall also draw your attention to specific health regulations (health policy formalities) of the destination country. The traveller should also find out in good time about infection and vaccination measures for the agreed travel destination. Please consider the option of obtaining information from health authorities, doctors (travel medicine
practitioners) and Institutes for Tropical medicine.
11.2. The traveller himself/herself is responsible for compliance with all important passport, visa and health regulations required
for the provision of the tour. Any penalties, in particular the payment of withdrawal costs, that result from non-compliance with
these regulations shall be paid by the traveller unless the penalties are the result of false information provided intentionally by
the ACO or due to the lack of information.
-12- Choice of law and court of jurisdiction
12.1. Exclusively German law shall apply to the agreement and legal relationship between the traveller and the ACO. Insofar as
German law is not applied for reasons of liability in overseas proceedings brought by the traveller against the ACO, German law
shall still apply with regard to the legal consequences, such as with regard to the nature, scope and amount of claims brought
by the traveller.
12.2. The court of jurisdiction of the ACO shall be the court that covers the company’s registered office in Kernen.12.3. For legal action taken by the ACO against the traveller, the domicile of the traveller is the crucial factor unless the legal
action is taken against registered traders or people who have no general court of jurisdiction within Germany, or against people
who have moved their domicile or normal place of residence outside Germany after the conclusion of the agreement, or whose
domicile or usual place of residence is unknown at the time the legal action is commenced. In these cases, the registered
office of the ACO is the crucial factor.12.4. The provisions in 13.1. to 13.3. are not applied if and to the extent that non-negotiable contractual conditions arising from
international agreements are to be applied to the package tour agreement between the traveller and the ACO, something else
to the benefit of the traveller arises or if and to the extent that that non-negotiable provisions in the Member State of the EU to which the customer belongs are more favourable to the customer than the regulations in these trading and travel conditions
and the applicable German regulations.
-13- Arbitration procedure
The ACO will not take part in a dispute settlement procedure before a consumer arbitration board. To the extent that
involvement in a consumer dispute resolution procedure becomes obligatory after the printing of these terms and conditions,
the ACO shall notify the traveller. By way of information, you are referred to the following online dispute resolution platform for
package tour agreements concluded by electronic means:
14.1. The invalidity of individual provisions in these terms and conditions does not mean that all the terms and conditions are
invalid. Reference is made to § 306 of the German Civil Code.
14.2. These terms and conditions were last revised in January 2020.
-15- Data protection
The ACO guarantees the protection of personal information provided by travellers.
The ACO’s detailed data protection provisions and the traveller’s corresponding rights can be found at:
https://amateurchess.com/datenschutzerklaerung/
The ACO is happy to send the traveller a hard copy of the data protection provisions if requested to do so.
