Terms & Conditions

General Terms and Conditions of Dionysos Events GmbH for the Use of Services Offered at the Domains www.gamescomcamp.de and www.gamescomcamp.com

1. Scope and Applicability of the General Terms and Conditions

The services offered at www.gamescomcamp.de represent a service provided by Dionysos Hoffmann and Peiki GmbH, Spichernstr. 73 - 50672 Köln

– in the following referred to as Dionysos -

The services offered by Dionysos at www.gamescomcamp.de are intended for visitors of the gamescom, a fair for interactive gaming and entertainment in Cologne

– in the following referred to as Visitor –

The following Terms and Conditions set forth the basic rules regarding the use of services offered by Dionysos to the Visitors via the internet. As of their inclusion, these Terms shall apply to all Dionysos services and to all other rights and obligations of both parties.

The Visitor expressly agrees to these General Terms and Conditions of Dionysos by checking the respective box during the ordering process.

Visitors are informed that Dionysos uses the services of the online ticket shop ticketio.de

 – in the following referred to as ticket.io –

to execute ticket orders. The use of the ticket shop is subject to separate terms and conditions which form the contractual basis of such transactions.

2.  Services by Dionysos
 

Every year during the time of the gamescom fair, Dionysos organizes the so-called gamescomCamp in cooperation with Koelnmesse GmbH in Cologne. The gamescom Camp at Jungendpark Cologne offers accommodation, food and drinks as well as various activities and entertainment options for gamescom visitors. At www.gamescomcamp.de visitors of the gamescom fair can purchase tickets for overnight stays at the Camp. Visitors can choose between single- or multi-day tickets. The term of validity depends on the ticket type. If a single day pass has been purchased; the valid day of the ticket is the date of the Visitor's arrival at the gamescom Camp which was provided by the visitor during the ordering process. Tickets to the gamescom fair are not included in the Camp tickets. Camp tickets are limited to overnight accommodation only!With a Camp ticket, the Visitor is entitled to stay at the campsite during the respective valid date(s) with his/her own camping equipment. The Visitor may also use all sanitary facilities and participate in the gamescom Camp activities and entertainment program which are offered for free. Details regarding the Dionysos gamescom Camp program can be found on the website at www.gamescomcamp.de. The Visitor acknowledges that Dionysos expressly reserves the right to change the activities and entertainment program. The Visitor has the option to add a cot located in a multi-person tent (without sleeping bag) to the ticket purchase, which will incur additional costs. Alternatively, larger groups have the option to book a multi-person tent which comes fully set-up and prepared.

Visitors have the opportunity to buy food and drinks at the campsite. The purchase of Camp tickets and any other paid services offered by Dionysos are generally limited to Visitors of full age and full legal capacity. Minors may use the services offered by Dionysos if the ticket and any additional services are purchased by an adult.

Visitors under the age of 16 are only allowed to stay at the gamescom Camp if they are accompanied by an adult. In addition, all visitors under the age of 16 are required to obtain the prior written consent of a legal guardian regarding their stay at the gamescom Camp. This written permission needs to be carried along the entire time of stay. Without the respective document, access to the gamescom Camp will be denied to any person under the age of 16.

3. Obligations of gamescom Camp Visitors

The Visitor has to arrive at the gamescom Camp on the valid day of the ticket during the regular opening hours of the Camp. At first, every Visitor must register at the Camp reception. Without successful registration the Visitor will not be allowed to enter the Camp. After a diligent review of the ticket, which was previously sent to the Visitor via email, he/she receives the Camp ticket and is assigned to a place for the night. During the registration process, the Visitor also receives the Dionysos Camp rules which will apply throughout the entirety of his/her stay at the Camp. Visitors are obliged to follow the Camp rules at all times. Non-compliance with any of these rules may result in the exercise of Dionysos's property rights and the Visitor's exclusion from the campsite as well as a ban on reentering the premises. In case of a ban, the Visitor's gamescom Camp ticket is no longer valid.

Also upon arrival at the Campsite, each Visitor has to pay a garbage deposit fee. Before departure, after a thorough check of the Visitor's space or tent, this fee will either be reimbursed to the Visitor or kept to pay for any additional costs incurred by cleaning services. Dionysos has prepared a check-out schedule which is available at www.Dionysos.de. All Visitors departures must take place within the specified check-out times.

Camp tickets purchased by the Visitor may not be transferred to third parties and therefore must not be resold. Any misuse or violation of the General Terms and Conditions of Dionysos will result in the Visitor's loss of access authorization to the gamescom Camp without refund or compensation of the ticket price.

The Visitor's Camp ticket immediately loses its validity at the time any misuse and/or violation of the General Terms takes place.

The Visitor agrees that throughout his/her stay at the gamescom Camp, he/she may be subject to audio- and video recordings which will be used by the organizer Dionysos to promote the gamescom Camp. For this purpose, the Visitors transfer to Dionysos free of charge, any and all proprietary rights of use, ancillary copyrights and any other rights in connection with such audio- and video recordings and thereby also grant Dionysos the exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty free license to use and/or modify such recordings in any media. Dionysos reserves the right to pass on the transferred rights in whole or in part to third parties.

4. Conclusion of Contract

The content and services presented by Dionysos at www.gamescomcamp.de do not constitute an offer directed at the conclusion of a contract. Instead, the Visitor makes a binding offer, by selecting one or more tickets and/or additional services on the website of ticketio or gamescomCamp and by clicking the order button after completing the order form with the information necessary for the purchase and by selecting the desired method of payment.

The effective conclusion of a contract with Dionysos depends on the payment method selected by the Visitor: When paying with PayPal or credit card the contract becomes effective upon receipt of an order confirmation email from ticketio; in case of advance payment by bank transfer the contract becomes effective after full payment of the purchase price; in the case of direct debit the contract becomes effective upon receipt of an order confirmation email from ticketio.

The effectiveness of the contract between Dionysos and the Visitor always depends on the availability and deliverability of the tickets ordered by the Visitor.

If tickets of a certain category are no longer available, the conclusion of a contract with the Visitor may be refused. Additionally, in the event of good cause, Dionysos reserves the right to reject the conclusion of a contract with the Visitor at any time.

5. Prices and Methods of Payment

Ticket prices for the Camp and other services offered by Dionysos can be found on the website of gamescomCamp. All ticket prices are including VAT and presale fee. Not included are costs that may be charged by individual payment providers as well as the statutory culture tax (so-called "bed tax") imposed by the city of Cologne. All applicable costs payable by the Visitor are summarized at the end of the ordering process. The Visitor is not subject to any additional charges or hidden costs.

To pay for the tickets and optional services offered on ticketio, the Visitor may choose from various payment options, such as PayPal, credit card, bank transfer or direct debit.

The Visitor may be subject to additional costs for the internet connection used for the ticket purchase by the respective internet service provider.

The order confirmation email sent to the Visitor after the successful ticket purchase also contains an invoice.

6. Ticket Shipment, Loss and Return Policy

After full and successful payment of the purchase price, the Visitor receives an email at the email address he/she provided during the ordering process which contains a barcode. This email must be printed by the Visitor. Tickets that have been issued incorrectly will be exchanged by Dionysos during the registration process at the Camp. Camp tickets are generally excluded from the right of exchange and return. In the event of the ticket being lost, the Visitor shall have no right to a replacement.  If the gamescom Camp is canceled, the German statutory provisions regarding the right of return apply.

7. Cancellation and Return Policy according to Distance Selling Act

In the context of the internet-based offer at www.gamescomcamp.de, Dionysos provides services in the field of leisure activities within a certain period of time. According to § 312b, para. 3, no. 6 German Civil Code (BGB), the contracts to be concluded with Dionysos are therefore not to be considered distance selling contracts. The cancellation of a contract or the return of tickets pursuant to § 312 BGB shall be excluded.

8. Set-Off

The Visitor may only exercise his/her right to offset if counter-claims are undisputed by Dionysos or have been established by law. The Visitor's retention right shall only be valid if the counterclaim is based on the same contract.

9. Liability and Limitations of Liability

The Visitor uses the services offered at www.gamescomcamp.de at his/her own risk. Dionysos does not assume any liability for the correctness of the number of tickets that are purchased online nor the correctness of the data provided by the Visitor during the online ordering process. Furthermore, Dionysos cannot be held liable for false ticket orders and/or the provision of false- and/or stolen information of third parties. Dionysos's liability for the breach of contractual duties shall be limited to wrongful intent and gross negligence. In case of mild negligence, Dionysos may only be held liable for the violation of material contractual obligations. In this case, the liability of Dionysos shall be limited to the amount of damages typically foreseeable for this type of contract on the day of the conclusion of the contract.

The liability for injury to life, body and health, according to the Product Liability Law and the assumption of a guarantee or fraudulent concealment of defects related to the services offered at www.gamescomcamp.de remains unaffected.

Dionysos does not assume any liability for damages (in particular damages to persons and goods) culpably caused by the Visitor during his stay at the Camp. In this connection, the Visitor hereby indemnifies and holds Dionysos harmless from and against any unauthorized use of third parties and from any expenses and legal costs that may arise in this respect.

Dionysos shall not be liable for personal injury of the Visitor which he/she might incur at his/her own fault during his/her stay at the Camp, particularly by participating in the Camp activities offered by Dionysos.

Dionysos does not assume any liability for damages and/or loss of property that was brought to the Camp by the Visitor to be used during the duration of his/her stay. Any liability for property that was left and/or forgotten at the Camp after departure is also excluded.

Dionysos does not assume any liability in case the gamescom Camps has to be cancelled or has to end early due to force majeure (e.g. bad weather conditions, flooding). The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply mutatis mutandis to all companies affiliated with Dionysos as well as to the personal liability of staff, workers, employees, representatives, shareholders and agents of Dionysos and/or its affiliated companie

10. Availability of Services Offered

Dionysos makes every effort to ensure that their services offered at www.gamescomcamp.de and www.ticketio.de are permanently and fully available to Visitors. However, Dionysos does not assume any liability for the permanent usability and accessibility of the services offered, transmission delays, transmission errors and/or server failures as well as the related constraints caused by such.

It is important to note that, due to necessary maintenance activities, the entire website and/or certain services may be temporarily unavailable.

Dionysos expressly reserves the right to discontinue the offered services in whole or in part at any time without notice and/or to restrict their availability.

11. Data Protection

The use of the services offered at www.gamescomcamp.de is subject to the privacy statement of Dionysos which can be accessed from every page of the domain www.gamescomcamp.de.

12. Final Provisions

The Visitor expressly agrees to receive legal declarations of Dionysos via email. An email is considered received if it is available and saved to the inbox of the Visitor or to the inbox of his/her internet provider.

Dionysos reserves the right to change or amend these General Terms and Conditions at any time with future effect. To the extent relevant for the contractual relationship with Dionysos, the Visitor shall be informed about any material changes to these Terms and Conditions via email at the email address provided by him/her during the registration process. In order for the changes to apply to the existing contractual relationship, the Visitor will be asked to accept the new Terms and Conditions by clicking a confirmation link at the end of such email.

The Visitor agrees to be informed about news and changes regarding the services offered at www.gamescomcamp.de via newsletter, and hereby expressly accepts to receive such newsletters via email at the email address provided by him/her during the registration process.

The Visitor has the option, to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of each newsletter.

In case any of these Terms and Conditions proves invalid and/or incomplete, the validity of the other terms and conditions shall remain unaffected. The invalid clause shall be replaced by a legally permitted provision which best coincides with the intent of the invalid provision. The same applies to any contractual gaps.

The place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with these General Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.

If the Visitor is a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a public fund, the exclusive place of jurisdiction shall be Cologne, Germany.

The same jurisdiction applies if the Visitor has no general jurisdiction in Germany or if his/her domicile or permanent residence is unknown at the time of action.

The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany apply. UN Sales Law (CISG) shall be excluded.

In case of any differences between the German and the English version of these General Terms and Conditions, or in cases of doubt, the German version shall prevail.

7. Newsletter

Newsletter data
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unaffected.

By subscribing to our newsletter you confirm in the future to be informed about events of gamescomCamp and partner events. If you receive information about current or future events from our company without having previously registered on our website for advertising services, this is done with your ticket purchaser data specified in a ticket purchase to carry out pre-contractual measures in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO and / or on the basis of a balance of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The starting point for the decision to make a decision is Recital 47 (ErwGr.) DSGVO.

In our conducted balance of interests, we come to the assessment, since the advertised content is exclusively follow-up events of the same series of events (for which tickets have already been purchased), that a reasonable expectation of the ticket purchaser is considered to stay informed about current and future events. A comprehensive right of objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR, to which we expressly refer when purchasing tickets and in the privacy policy, is also available at all times. Please send an email to datenschutz@gamescomcamp.com or follow the link in the footer of each newsletter. According to Art. 21 (3) GDPR, the advertising contradiction means that personal data will no longer be processed, even after weighing the interests.

The gamescomCamp – A peaceful spot in contrast to the hectic fairground

The gamescomCamp isn’t only a convenient and inexpensive place to sleep for visitors of the gamescom. It’s also Europe’s largest camping for gaming fans, a meeting point for like-minded people to meet in real life. In walking distance from the fairground Kölnmesse, the Jugendpark is located directly at the Rhine River on a promontory and with it’s lush green lawn and old trees it’s the ideal natural reservoir to cool down from the sometimes hectic day-to-day at the fair. Whether you prefer to hang out at the camp fire, the free wifi tent, or at billard in the cafe: there’s something to do for everyone.

We expect around 3500 gamers, that stay for up to 10.000 overnight stays, from all over the world during this week. The concept of the camp is consequently optimizied to fit the guests needs for relaxation and leisure. The camp is a peaceful spot in contrast to the hectic fairground. The personal contact is in the spotlight here and the gamescomCamp team is fully integrated in the leisure acivities of the gaming community.

Hardfacts:

– 3500 gaming fans from different countries stay for up to 10.000 overnight stays
– takes place for the 14th time at Jugendpark Cologne on over 20.000sqm
– Overnight stays in own tent or in supplied tent possible
– open from Monday until Sunday
– various acitivities on a daily basis after the fairground is closed
– official partner of Koelnmesse and BIU

Info on reporting on the ground and interviews

We only allow broadcasting and interviews from Wednesday until Friday when the camp is filled with life. 95% of the gaming fans are at the fair during daytime, so we suggest to either come in the morning between 8-10h or in the afternoon from 17h. The best vibe is during sunset until 23h. In the past we had some bad experiences with some media that portrayed the gaming community in an unfair and false way. Therefore we only allow interviews and broadcasting with a strict agreement in advance and only in company of a gamescomCamp team member. Feel free to get in touch with us and please provide the following info: contact person, concept, type of media/publication via info@gamescomcamp.com.

Info on media cooperation

We are open for all different kinds of media cooperations. If you want to write about our camp or want to get in touch with us about anything else, feel free to contact us!
