Safety Instructions for Segway Tours

4.1. Segwaypoint-Düsseldorf & Seg-Events & Segway Tour Köln, Mehmet Fidan, Rathausufer 20, 40213 Düsseldorf wants to do everything to ensure your Segway tour becomes a special experience. Every tour is accompanied by a guide. You will receive a briefing on how to drive the Segway before the tour begins. Only when you have familiarized yourself extensively with driving the Segway and have learned the skills necessary for safe handling in traffic—such as accelerating, braking, steering, as well as safe mounting and dismounting—and feel capable of driving the Segway responsibly and safely, should you participate in the tour. The briefing time is part of the booked tour duration. 4.2. Should you not feel confident about the tour after the briefing: In this case, the customer will not be reimbursed the tour price. 4.3.

In this case, the customer will not be reimbursed the tour price. 4.4. You must follow the instructions of your guide during the tour. Follow them at the pace they set or ask them to reduce the speed if necessary. Collisions between Segways must be avoided at all costs! Please always keep sufficient distance from other tour participants, do not drive too fast, avoid reversing, rocking, and abrupt turns with the Segway. 4.5. The guide has the right to exclude participants from further participation in the tour if they act contrary to safety instructions or endanger themselves and others through their driving style. In this case, there will be no refund of the tour price. Furthermore, there are no claims for damages. 4.6. Should you fail to observe the safety instructions of our guides and cause damage to the Segway through your driving errors, you are liable for the resulting damages, including consequential damages such as loss of income, unless the damage is settled by the liability or comprehensive insurance of the Segway (cf. also Nos. 5 to 8 of these GTC).

B: Sale of Used Segways

Conclusion of Contract / Transfer of Rights and Obligations of the Buyer 1.1. The buyer is bound to the order for a maximum of 10 days, for commercial vehicles up to 2 weeks. The purchase contract is concluded when the seller confirms acceptance of the order for the specified purchase object in writing within the respective periods mentioned or executes the delivery. However, the seller is obliged to inform the orderer immediately if he does not accept the order. 1.2. Transfers of rights and obligations of the buyer from the purchase contract require the written consent of the seller.

Payment 2.1. The purchase price and prices for ancillary services are due for payment upon handover of the purchase object and handing over or sending of the invoice. 2.2. The buyer can only offset against claims of the seller if the buyer’s counterclaim is undisputed or a legally binding title exists; he can only assert a right of retention insofar as it is based on claims from the purchase contract.

Delivery and Default of Delivery 3.1. Delivery dates and delivery periods, which can be agreed upon as binding or non-binding, must be stated in writing. Delivery periods begin with the conclusion of the contract. 3.2. The buyer can request the seller to deliver ten days after exceeding a non-binding delivery date or a non-binding delivery period. With the receipt of the request, the seller is in default. If the buyer is entitled to compensation for damage caused by delay, this is limited to a maximum of 5% of the agreed purchase price in cases of slight negligence by the seller. 3.3. If the buyer additionally wishes to withdraw from the contract and/or demand damages instead of performance, he must set the seller a reasonable deadline for delivery after the expiry of the relevant period according to Section 2, sentence 1 of this section. If the buyer is entitled to damages instead of performance, the claim is limited to a maximum of 10% of the agreed purchase price in cases of slight negligence. If the buyer is a legal entity under public law, a special fund under public law, or an entrepreneur acting in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity when concluding the contract, claims for damages in cases of slight negligence are excluded. If delivery becomes impossible for the seller by chance while he is in default, he is liable within the agreed liability limitations above. The seller is not liable if the damage would have occurred even with timely delivery. 3.4. If a binding delivery date or a binding delivery period is exceeded, the seller is already in default upon exceeding the delivery date or delivery period. The rights of the buyer are then determined according to Section 2, sentence 3 and Section 3 of this section.

Acceptance 4.1. The buyer is obliged to accept the purchase object within eight days from receipt of the notice of availability. In the event of non-acceptance, the seller can exercise his legal rights. 4.2. If the seller demands damages, this amounts to 10% of the purchase price. The damages are to be set higher or lower if the seller proves higher damage or the buyer proves that lower damage or no damage at all has occurred.

Retention of Title 5.1. The purchase object remains the property of the seller until the settlement of the claims due to the seller under the purchase contract. If the buyer is a legal entity under public law, a special fund under public law, or an entrepreneur acting in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity when concluding the contract, the retention of title also remains for claims of the seller against the buyer from the ongoing business relationship until the settlement of claims due in connection with the purchase. At the request of the buyer, the seller is obliged to waive the retention of title if the buyer has incontestably fulfilled all claims related to the purchase object and adequate security exists for the remaining claims from the ongoing business relationships. 5.2. In the event of default in payment by the buyer, the seller can withdraw from the purchase contract. 5.3. As long as the retention of title exists, the buyer may neither dispose of the purchase object nor contractually grant use to third parties.

Material Defect 6.1. Claims of the buyer due to material defects expire in one year from the delivery of the purchase object to the customer. If the buyer is a legal entity under public law, a special fund under public law, or an entrepreneur acting in the exercise of his commercial or independent professional activity when concluding the contract, the sale takes place under exclusion of any claims for material defects. Further claims remain unaffected insofar as the seller is mandatorily liable by law or something else is agreed, especially in the case of the assumption of a guarantee. 6.2. The buyer must assert claims due to material defects against the seller. In the case of oral notifications of claims, the buyer must be given a written confirmation of the receipt of the notification. 6.3. If the purchase object becomes inoperable due to a material defect, the buyer can turn to another repair shop with the prior consent of the seller. 6.4. For parts installed within the scope of defect rectification, the buyer can assert material defect claims based on the purchase contract until the expiry of the limitation period of the purchase object. Replaced parts become the property of the seller. 6.5. Section VI Material Defect does not apply to claims for damages; Section VII Liability applies to these claims.

Liability 7.1. If the seller has to pay for damage caused by slight negligence due to statutory provisions, the seller’s liability is limited: Liability only exists in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, such as those that the purchase contract intends to impose on the seller according to its content and purpose or whose fulfillment makes the proper execution of the purchase contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance the buyer regularly relies and may rely. This liability is limited to the typical damage foreseeable at the time of contract conclusion. Insofar as the damage is covered by an insurance policy taken out by the buyer for the relevant damage event (excluding fixed-sum insurance), the seller is only liable for any associated disadvantages of the buyer, e.g., higher insurance premiums or interest disadvantages until the damage is settled by the insurance. 7.2. Regardless of any fault of the seller, any liability of the seller remains unaffected in the event of fraudulent concealment of a defect, from the assumption of a guarantee or a procurement risk, and according to the Product Liability Act. 7.3. Liability for delay in delivery is conclusively regulated in Section III. 7.4. The personal liability of the legal representatives, vicarious agents, and employees of the seller for damages caused by them through slight negligence is excluded. 7.5. The limitations of liability in this section do not apply to injury to life, body, or health.

Place of Jurisdiction 8.1. For all current and future claims from the business relationship with merchants, including bill of exchange and check claims, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is the seller’s registered office. 8.2. The same place of jurisdiction applies if the buyer has no general place of jurisdiction domestically, moves his residence or habitual abode out of the country after conclusion of the contract, or his residence or habitual abode is unknown at the time the action is filed. Otherwise, the buyer’s residence applies as the place of jurisdiction for claims of the seller against the buyer.

The payment provider uses these to log into your online banking account, automatically checks your account balance, and carries out the transfer. An immediate transaction confirmation follows. Your turnovers, the credit limit of your overdraft facility, and the existence of other accounts and their balances are also automatically checked after logging in. In addition to PIN and TAN, the transmission to Sofort GmbH also includes payment data and data about your person. The data about your person includes first and last name, address, telephone number(s), email address, IP address, and possibly other data necessary for payment processing. There is a necessity for this data transmission to establish your identity beyond doubt and to prevent attempted fraud. The transmission of your data to Sofort GmbH takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (Consent) and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (Processing for the fulfillment of a contract). You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. Data processing operations lying in the past remain effective in the event of a revocation.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. AdWords is an online advertising program. Within the framework of the online advertising program, we work with conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Google AdWords cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve the personal identification of users. Google and we can recognize from the cookie that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via websites of AdWords customers. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that enables personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to use. Here, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the browser’s user settings. Thus, no inclusion in the conversion tracking statistics takes place. The storage of “conversion cookies” takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We as website operators have a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize our web offer and our advertising. Details on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/. With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.
