To create a user account, users must provide, among other things, a currently valid e-mail address and password. The e-mail address serves as the user name and together with the password, as the login data. At the same time, the e-mail address is used to communicate with the users about event and contract-specific matters. By completing the online registration process, a free user contract is concluded between us and the registered users.

Users are prohibited from disclosing the login data to third parties and/or allowing third parties to access the user account by circumventing the login data.

§ 4 No-Show, refund of participation fee, money-back guarantee, transfer of the startplate to another person

4.1 No-Show

If the participants do not wish to adhere to the contract for participation in a running event (e.g. by declaration of cancellation or withdrawal), or if the participants cancel participation in the running event or do not exercise the right to start – without cancelling – (no-show), we will understand this declaration or this behavior – regardless of whether the participants are entitled to do so – as a definitive waiver of the right to start and participation in the running event.

4.2 Refund of participation fee

The participants can cancel the contract within 48 hours without giving reasons in writing (eg letter, fax, e-mail). The participant amount and the additional services will be refunded in full minus a processing fee of 2.50 €. The exact revocation instruction can be read in the AGB’s.

§ 5 Infringements, exclusion, prohibition to start

In the event of violations of these conditions of participation and/or in the event that participants do not follow our instructions or the instructions of our staff, the appropriately marked course marshals and the medical staff, and there is a risk that the proper running of the event or the safety and/or health of the participants will be endangered, we, our course marshals and/or the medical staff, may exclude and/or disqualify participants from the time scoring or the running event.

Sanctionable violations include, but are not limited to:

the transfer of the personally assigned race number;
the misappropriation, acquisition and/or alteration of the race number;
making the advertising imprint on the start number unrecognizable;
grossly unsportsmanlike conduct;
repeated implausible passing times;

We will inform the affected persons in writing about a start ban. If we have not received the entry fee by the time the entry documents are handed out, the entry documents will not be handed out.

A justified exceptional situation, which justifies such a measure, exists if there are sufficient factual indications that the planned implementation or continuation of the event could lead to a concrete danger to life and limb or to property of considerable value. We will notify participants of such changes – as far as possible – in advance by e-mail, on the website for the respective event and on social media channels.
