General Terms and Conditions of CampusSport

(1) The following provisions govern the general terms and conditions for participation in the CampusSport of the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences – hereinafter referred to as CampusSport.

(2) By registering and booking an offer or participating in it, the participant accepts these General Terms and Conditions. They are therefore part of the contract between the participant and CampusSport.

(2) Non-university members - hereinafter referred to as guests/alumni - may participate if there is free capacity and must be 18 years of age or older.

Suitable clothing appropriate to the setting must be worn during the activities. The relevant instructions in the respective course descriptions must be observed.

(3) Photographing or filming instructors and participants in CampusSport events is strictly prohibited. Such recordings are only permitted after prior consultation with the CampusSport management and with the express consent of the persons concerned.

(1) Registration takes place exclusively via the CampusSport website. By registering, the participant submits a binding offer to conclude a contract with CampusSport, which CampusSport accepts by sending the registration confirmation.

(2) Additional agreements that change the scope of the contractual services must be confirmed in writing by CampusSport in order to be valid.

(3) A separate participation ticket must be booked for each offer. The booked event is listed and acknowledged on the participation ticket.

(4) The printed participation ticket, proof of membership of the status group (student ID) and a valid photo ID must always be carried with you when participating in CampusSport and must be presented without being asked in the event of checks by CampusSport staff and other persons exercising domiciliary rights. Participants who are unable to show appropriate identification will be denied participation in events and access to the sports facilities.

(5) The participation ticket is non-transferable.

(1) Payment is always made by direct debit. By registering, the participant revocably authorizes CampusSport to collect the fee for the booked offer. If payment cannot be made, the registration will be canceled and the participant's right to participate will be revoked.

(1) The participant has no right to withdraw from the contract.

(2) In justified exceptional cases (injury, loss of place, etc.), CampusSport reserves the right to make an exception as a gesture of goodwill. In this case, CampusSport will refund the collected course fee eight weeks after receipt of payment. If the participant objects to a returned direct debit, the participant undertakes to bear the additional costs incurred (depending on the bank in question, these are bank charges of varying amounts) for Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences.

(3) Places that become free cannot be transferred to other persons, but can only be returned to CampusSport.

CampusSport reserves the right to cancel courses for compelling reasons, e.g. failure to reach the required number of participants, formal errors, etc.. In this case, the registration will be canceled and the course fee already collected will be refunded eight weeks after receipt of payment. If the participant does not wish to wait the required eight weeks, a return debit note can be issued by means of an objection. In this case, however, the participant undertakes to bear the additional costs incurred by Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences (depending on the bank in question, these are bank charges of varying amounts). There is no further claim against CampusSport or Frankfurt UAS.

(1) The offers include the services described in the respective sports program. These are group events for which individual services are not guaranteed. There is no entitlement to a specific instructor, a specific type of instruction or to the use of specific rooms or equipment.

(2) The respective valid offer periods are shown on the participation ticket.

(3) Announced events may be canceled without entitlement to compensation for the following reasons:

if the course day falls on a public holiday or during a lecture-free period,
if the course leader is unable to attend and CampusSport is unable to find a qualified replacement at short notice,
in the event of operational disruptions (due to construction work, repairs, etc.),
if the respective sports facility is occupied by courses, tournaments, further training or other events,
due to weather conditions and
in the event of force majeure.
(4) CampusSport may combine or cancel offers if there are too few registrations. In this case, participants can choose another course of their choice within the same fee group in the current program, subject to availability. It is also possible to withdraw from the booked program. Any fees already paid will then be refunded. There is no further claim against CampusSport or Frankfurt UAS.

(1) Exercise instructors are entitled to exclude participants from the courses if their behavior significantly endangers their health or the health and well-being of other participants despite warnings.

(2) A breach of the conditions of participation, regulations or instructions of CampusSport can lead to the withdrawal of the right to participate or, in the case of the use of rooms and sports facilities, to expulsion from the premises. Exercise instructors and other persons exercising domiciliary rights are authorized to confiscate participation tickets.

(3) Anyone who repeatedly or seriously violates the conditions of participation, regulations or instructions of CampusSport may be permanently excluded from participating in CampusSport activities. This applies in particular to the endangerment of persons, improper use of sports facilities and equipment as well as misuse of the right to participate. The decision on exclusion is made by the CampusSport management.

(4) In the event of exclusion due to misconduct on the part of the participant, the fees paid will not be refunded.

By booking an offer from CampusSport, the participant gives his/her consent for CampusSport to collect, process and use personal data for the purposes of participant administration and organizational measures in compliance with data protection regulations. This consent can be revoked in writing at any time with effect for the future.

(1) Claims for damages in the context of CampusSport offers can only arise in cases of intent and gross negligence. Any further liability for damages on the part of CampusSport, Frankfurt UAS, the State of Hesse, the cooperating universities, their members or against exercise instructors is excluded.

(2) If borrowed sports materials and/or equipment are partially or completely damaged or not returned, the borrower is liable for damages.

(3) Frankfurt UAS accepts no liability for theft, damage to property or other damage to the sports facilities used by CampusSport.

(4) CampusSport is not liable for damages caused by third parties during the event.

(1) The accident insurance regulations of the Unfallkasse des Landes Hessen apply to employees and students:

Students of Frankfurt UAS and the cooperating universities are covered by accident insurance through the Unfallkasse des Landes Hessen (Accident Insurance Fund of the State of Hesse) insofar as they participate in events that take place within the organized exercise operation of CampusSport during fixed times and under the direction of an appointed exercise instructor. There is therefore no insurance cover for free practice and match operations.
Employees of Frankfurt UAS are covered by statutory accident insurance when participating in university sports if the sport has a compensatory and non-competitive character, the group of participants is essentially limited to university members, the sport takes place regularly and the exercise time and duration are related to the compensatory purpose.
For civil servants, an accident in the context of CampusSport is not usually considered an accident on duty. There is no entitlement to accident insurance. Private insurance cover is therefore strongly recommended for all employees.
(2) Guests who take part in Frankfurt UAS activities are not insured. They are responsible for their own insurance cover.

(3) Accident reports must be submitted to CampusSport in writing within three days.

CampusSport reserves the right to amend and adapt its General Terms and Conditions and will draw attention to these in the event of amendments or adaptations. Participants may object to the respective change in writing within a period of two weeks. If no objection is made, the amendment or adjustment is deemed to have been accepted.

(1) You can borrow the equipment package from the sports office for the duration of the course for a deposit. The equipment will be returned to the sports office at the end of the course and you will receive the deposit back.

(2) The deposit will be debited from your account.

(3) In the event of loss, damage or excessive wear and tear (no further use possible) of the equipment, CampusSport reserves the right to replace the affected item and deduct the purchase price from the deposit.

The following General Terms and Conditions of Excursions also apply to excursions:

General excursion conditions

(1) The following provisions govern the general conditions for participation in the excursions offered by CampusSport at Frankfurt UAS - hereinafter referred to as CampusSport.

By registering for such an excursion via CampusSport, the participant consents to CampusSport passing on his/her personal data to the external provider of the excursion solely for the purpose of registration.

(7) Up until the start of the excursion, the participant may propose in writing to CampusSport that a third party enter into the rights and obligations of the contract in their place. CampusSport may object to this proposal if the third party does not meet the special requirements for the excursion or if there are other important reasons against the entry of the third party. In the event that the contract is accepted, the substitute participant (third party) and the original participant are jointly and severally liable to CampusSport for the payment of the excursion fee and any costs arising from the acceptance of the contract.

CampusSport reserves the right to cancel excursions for compelling reasons, e.g. weather conditions, force majeure, failure to reach the required number of participants, etc.. In this case, the registration will be canceled and the excursion fee already collected will be refunded. There is no further claim against CampusSport or Frankfurt UAS.

 

1) Participation in CampusSport excursions is at the participant's own risk. Claims for damages in the context of the excursions offered can only arise in cases of intent and gross negligence.
