2. Services from bellicon Europe

bellicon Europe offers face-to-face and online trainer training courses and workshops as well as bellicon trampolines for rent or purchase on its website, the latter however not individually but only in connection with the booking of an online trainer training course ("packages").

The constant and uninterrupted availability of the contents or the other technology used can therefore not be guaranteed. bellicon Europe is not responsible for the transmission of data from the customer to the website and back.
bellicon Europe can restrict access to the contents if the security of the network operation, the maintenance of the network integrity, in particular the avoidance of serious disturbances of the network, the website or stored data require this. The same applies to the temporary failure of the service due to necessary operational interruptions (maintenance work). In these cases, there is no entitlement to the continuation of services, nor is there any entitlement to a reduction in price or claims for damages. Bellicon Europe shall inform the customer of planned maintenance work in good time in advance, unless prior notification is not possible or not reasonable in individual cases.

The following applies to purchase contracts

a. The customer's rights in the event of material defects and defects of rights shall be governed by the statutory provisions, unless otherwise stipulated below.

b. Consumers must notify bellicon Europe of defects within a warranty period of 2 years. For commercial customers, the warranty period is 1 year. The shortening of the warranty period or the exclusion of the warranty shall not apply if bellicon Europe has fraudulently concealed a defect or has assumed a guarantee for the quality of the goods, and shall not apply to claims for damages by the customer that are directed towards compensation for physical injury or damage to health due to a defect for which the seller is responsible or that are based on intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of bellicon Europe or its vicarious agents.

c. In the event that the purchase option is exercised, the condition of the bellicon trampoline at the time the purchase option is exercised shall be decisive for the agreed conditions. The warranty period is 2 years from the exercise of the purchase option.

d. If the customer is an entrepreneur and the purchase is also a commercial transaction for him or her, he or she must inspect the goods immediately after receipt, so long as this is possible in the ordinary course of business, and notify bellicon Europe of any defects immediately, § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code). If the customer fails to notify bellicon Europe of any defects, the goods shall be deemed to have been approved, unless the defect was not recognisable upon inspection. If such a defect becomes apparent later, the notice of defect must be given immediately after discovery; otherwise the goods shall be deemed approved also in view of this defect.

If goods are delivered with obvious damage to the packaging or contents, the customer shall immediately complain to the carrier/freight service without prejudice to his warranty rights and immediately contact bellicon Europe by e-mail or other means (fax/mail) so that bellicon Europe can safeguard any rights against the carrier/freight service.
the customer shall report hidden defects to bellicon Europe immediately after discovery - also without prejudice to any warranty rights - so that any warranty claims against third parties can be safeguarded.

13. Liability

bellicon Europe does not owe any specific training or educational success. As far as certain possible training or educational successes are presented on the website, on Eventbrite, in the individual videos or elsewhere by bellicon Europe, these always depend on age, physical condition, personal disposition and other individual circumstances from the sphere of the customer and can therefore not be guaranteed for individual cases.
Participation in trainer trainings and workshops (i.e. repetition of the exercises shown) is at the customer's own risk. By registering and participating in the trainer training courses and workshops, the customer assures that he/she is not aware of any health problems due to which participation poses a risk to him/her or could lead to health impairments. bellicon Europe recommends that customers who are not sure about this should consult their doctor beforehand. This applies in particular, for example, if the customer has previous injuries, other pre-existing conditions or indications of a possible pregnancy. The instructions and advice in the trainer training courses and workshops are not intended to replace medical advice.
It is in the client's own interest to ensure that their trampoline is properly set up and has a secure footing before training begins. Customers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs or medication are not permitted to take part in the trainer training courses and workshops.
Liability for damages on the part of bellicon Europe is excluded. This does not apply to damages caused by an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of bellicon Europe, or for damages resulting from injury to life, limb or health caused intentionally or negligently by bellicon Europe. Furthermore, bellicon Europe is liable for damages resulting from the intentional or negligent breach of contractual obligations that are so essential that they make the performance of the contract possible in the first place and on the fulfilment of which the user may therefore rely (so-called cardinal obligations); in the case of a slightly negligent breach of cardinal obligations, however, liability is limited to damages that are foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract and typical for the contract. bellicon Europe is liable for the fault of vicarious agents in accordance with the above provisions as for its own fault.
Bellicon Europe accepts no liability for the content of external websites. Bellicon Europe is not obliged to constantly monitor the content of linked websites without any indication of a possible infringement of the law. Should bellicon Europe become aware of illegal content on a linked website, the link will be removed immediately.
