General terms and conditions for passenger flights – training camps and traveling

Sportmanagement Mast is obligated to transport the person named in the ticket or voucher in a paraglider suitable for two persons as a passenger. The required equipment will be provided.
The following conditions apply. Changes have to be confirmed by Sportmanagement Mast in written form. I do accept these conditions by posting my registration/order and or by paying my ticket and or by giving a verbal flying order and or by signing/converting/redeeming my ticket.

The passenger/customer is obligated to pay the flying fee by either ordering a ticket or registering for a flight. The amount is due without any deductions. If case of a direct on site order, the fee is due in cash after the flight has been conducted. If ordering a ticket, the order will be confirmed via phone or email. If ordered in advance, the ticket will be sent to the ordering party after the fee has been paid in advance also, or the according invoice has been paid.

Vouchers are valid for 36 months after being issued. If booking a passenger flight, you have the right to withdraw until 14 days after the booking has been confirmed , if buying a ticket, until 14 days after receiving the ticket without any explanations. A later withdrawal is not possible.

To ensure his own safety the passenger has to obey all instructions of the pilot immediately. Disobeying the theoretical instructions and the commands by the pilot upon take off, during flight and when landing, may result in a serious danger to the passenger and the pilot. A passenger disobeying the pilots commands can be excluded from flying with Sportmanagement Mast for good. Violating these rules results in cancellation of entitlement to transportation without refunds of transportation fees. In case of damages to persons as a result to disobeying the commands and directives, the passenger is liable. For damages to equipment, pilots or Sportsmanagement Mast or third parties, caused intentionally by the passenger, the passenger is fully liable.

The time of the flight will be coordinated and determined on short notice by us, according to the weather. Details of coordination will be set individually. We especially like to point out the fact, that in spite of a set time, there is no obligation for transport if the weather should be non favorable for flying. This fact especially applies for thermal and cross country flights. In case of time adjustment or cancellation, there is no obligation to refunding of the fees or other expenses. However the obligation of rescheduling and making up the flight stays in effect. The location will be determined according the weather by Sportmanagement Mast.

The details of the conduction of the flight will be determined by the pilot in charge., he is always responsible for the conduct of the flight. The pilot has to cancel the flight if he judges the passenger as not suitable or other factors (like weather, wind, terrain, material…) are not favorable for a safe conduct. The passenger flights arranged by us are of solemnly private nature. The passenger confirms that his personal interest in taking the flight is to get acquainted to paragliding.

The arrival to the location is a matter of the passenger only. The standard ticket fees do not include fees for tramways, cable cars and similar things. The inclusive ticket does include an ascent fee, but no further transportation costs (caused by weather or other extraordinary circumstances). A cross country flight may demand several appointments/show ups, due to the special needs required. The passenger explicitly declares his perfect physical and mental health condition, having especially no heart or cardiovascular problems, no disturbances of the equilibrium sense, no neuropathy problems or other health problems, also chronic diagnostic findings, and seeing himself in a condition able to perform the flight. In case of doubts of his qualification, he passenger is obliged to get a medical clearance for the flight. He/she is further obliged to cancel the flight if he/she did not get theoretical instructions or did not understand those instructions. He/she has to cancel the flight also if he/she is under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

The passenger has to provide suitable clothing to protect himself/herself against wind, weather or staining, if possible firm shoes, reaching above the ankle and tear proof gloves. If the passenger is minor in age, both parents/legal representatives have to sign the contract.

Liability by Sportmanagement Mast , holder, partners, and pilots for damages to passengers, due to slight negligence, is wavered. The waiver is irrespective to the cause of the claim, reason of damage as well as nature and amount of damage. It is in effect for damages due to accidents, damages to the health, to persons, things, material and immaterial damages and resulting/follow on damages. It is not in effect if an insurance compensates for the damage without subrogating holder, partners or pilots from Sportmanagement Mast. There is insurance coverage according to the mandatory insurance of the individual pilot. Liability is granted for every claim up to the mandatory or defined limit of indemnity.

In case single terms in these general terms and conditions are invalid due to conflict with existing laws, all other terms and conditions stay in effect. As a substitute for invalid terms, a procedure should be followed that is close to the invalid terms but complies with all according laws.

Place of jurisdiction is Munich. The general terms and conditions are in effect since 01 Jan. 2001 and stay valid until otherwise declared
