Federal Horticultural Exhibition in Gera and
Ronneburg from 27. April to 14. Oktober 2007
Enjoy an unusual Federal Horticultural Exhibition
2007 in Gera and Ronneburg. For the first time,
the garden show is taking place in two completely different locations simultaneously: the »Hofwiesenpark Gera« (Court Meadows Park in Gera)
and the »Neue Landschaft Ronneburg« (New
Landscape by Ronneburg).
Hofwiesenpark. This landscape has been created,
as a completely new-formed natural and recreational
space, out of a former open-caste mining area. The
renaturalization of the Ronneburg mining area is
the largest regeneration project in mining and
environmental protection worldwide.
Over an area of 300,000 square meters on the bank
of the White Elster, the Hofwiesenpark Gera offers
recreation and relaxation in the colourful Flower
Alley, in the Iris Garden, among resplendent floral
displays or in the historical Villa Jahn.
On 171 days, a fantastic firework-like display will
be on offer at important horticultural spots, with
opulent floral displays, wonderful gardens and
picturesque landscapes. Over 100,000 splendid
flowers and 30,000 roses enchant young and old
guests alike in these »Garden Olympics«.
Simply by its size, the Neue Landschaft Ronneburg
offers an unmistakable contrast to the urban
Over 1000 events on several stages promise an eventful and exciting time, not only for flower lovers.

General Conditions of Business
Dear Guest in Gera,
With your booking, you have accepted the after-mentioned tour conditions for the after-mentioned services
of Gera Tourismus e.V.:
Thematic city tours, day-trips, guided tours, package tours.
1. Tour Contract
1.1. With his/her booking, the client offers the Gera Toursimus e.V. the
conclusion of a binding tour contract. The booking should be made in
writing or as a telefax.
1.2. The offer is binding on the client for 2 weeks. The tour contract
only becomes binding on us when we have confirmed the booking and
the tour price in writing.
1.3. In so far as the client makes a booking for additional participants,
he/she is bound by the contract for his/her own booking as well as for
that/those of the other participant(s); i.e. he/she is liable as the codebtor, along with the other participant(s) booked by him/her, for the
fulfilment of the contractual duties.
1.4. Should the content of the tour confirmation differ from the content
of the booking, we shall draw the attention of the client to this fact
expressly. We shall be bound for 10 days to this new offer. The contract
arises on the basis of this new offer if the client informs us within 10
days of his acceptance, or accepts this offer by payment of a deposit
on the total amount, or by an advance payment of the total amount.
2. Payment
2.1. On conclusion of the tour contract, 25% of the total tour price
is due for payment immediately. The remaining sum must have been
paid, to the stated account, by 10 days before the commencement of
the tour at the latest. On payment of the total amount, the tour
documents will be sent to the client.
2.2. We are entitled to withhold the service entirely and to demand
compensation from the client for non-fulfilment of the tour contract,
if the client is in arrears with the payment of the tour price and the
client has been given prior notice in writing by us of the withholding
of service.
2.3. Charges for cancellation, processing and rebooking are due
immediately.
2.4. For the booking of thematic city tours, day-trips and other guided
tours, the payment of the tour is due, after confirmation of the booking,
by bank transfer by 10 days before the date of the tour at the latest.
In the case of bookings at short notice, the payment is due before the
commencement of the tour to the accompanying guide, who is duly
empowered to accept payment.
2.5. In the case of international money transfers, the charges arising
will be charged to the bill separately.
3. Services, Prices
3.1. The extent of the contractual services corresponds to the description
of services valid at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and
given in our prospectus or in our Internet advertisement, as well as
in accordance with further agreements concluded on the basis of the
tour booking and tour confirmation.
The right to alterations in this information in the form of special
announcements before the conclusion of the contract are reserved. The
concept "tour price" in these tour conditions refers to the price of the
respective offer of a package tour.
3.2. Alterations and discrepancies in individual tour services over
against the agreed content of the tour contract, which are not foreseeable
for us, are only valid in so far as the alterations and discrepancies are
not considerable and do not impair the total arrangement of the booked
package. In this case, the client will be informed by us of the alterations
immediately. In this case, the client is entitled to withdraw from the
contract or, instead, to demand participation in another package which
is at least equivalent, as long as we are in a position to offer the client
such a package without additional cost.
3.3. Services of transportation are only then a part of the package offer
if they have been agreed expressly. The client is responsible him/herself
for the transportation from the place of residence to the area defined
under our package. This also applies to luggage.
3.4. The client will be afforded accommodation and - as far as agreed
- catering, corresponding to the booked category. Should the
accommodation not correpond to the contractual agreement as well as
28
to the details contained in our catalogue of package offers, the client
must report the deficiency immediately to Gera Tourismus e.V.,
Heinrichstrasse 35, 07545 Gera, in order to place us in a position to
check the deficiency in accommodation and to rectify the shortcomings
which have occurred.
3.5. Subsidiary agreements which extend the content of the service
are only valid when confirmed in writing by us. Special wishes are only
valid as agreed, as long as they have been noted in writing by us on
the confirmation of booking.
3.6. Should individual tour services not be claimed by the client due
to an early return journey or due to other cogent reasons, we shall
endeavour to obtain a refund from the provider of the service, as far
as the non-claimed services
are not negligible, or as far as statutory or official ordinances do not
stand in the way of a refund. Should our endeavours to obtain a refund
of the expended costs be successful, we are entitled to demand the
expenses incurred by us in so doing from the client, and are entitled
to withhold an appropriate sum.
3.7. In the case of a delayed arrival, there is no entitlement to the
complete performance of the service. In the case of thematic city tours
or other tours, the guide shall wait for 1 hour. Should the group arrive
more than 30 minutes later than agreed, the guide may demand a
payment for waiting of 10 Euros or shorten the tour accordingly. In the
case of a delay of more than 60 minutes, the tour shall be considered
to have been cancelled. Cancellation costs in the amount of 25 Euros
for each booked tour will be incurred.
4. Reduction for Children
The age of the child/children at the commencement of the tour is
decisive for a reduction in price for children. We are entitled to check
the age of the child/children by means of identity documents. Should
the stated age not correspond to the age given in the booking, we are
entitled to raise the price for travel subsequently.
5. Cancellation/Rebooking by the Client
5.1. The client can withdraw from the contract at any time before
commencement of the tour (§651 i BGB). For the purpose of evidence,
we advise that the cancellation be made in writing, attaching all the
tour documents to the declaration of cancellation. The cancellation is
valid from the time of the receipt of the cancellation by us.
5.2. In the case of the cancellation of the contract, we may demand
an appropriate compensation for the tour arrangements already made
and for our expenses. Depending on the date of the receipt of the
cancellation, the following flate-rate percentages of the tour price are
agreed as compensation:
28-21 days before commencement of tour
20-11 days before commencement of tour
10- 2 days before commencement of tour
1 day either before commencement of tour
or in the case of non-appearance
10%
40%
60%
80%
The charge for cancellation is due for payment immediately.
5.3. Rebookings to another date of tour within the period of validity
of the package offer, may only be made depending on the possibilities
and with the agreement of the provider of the service who has been
contractually bound by us. The charge for rebooking amounts to 5 Euros
per participant.
5.4. Until the commencement of the tour, the client may have him/herself
replaced by a third person. Additional expenses which have been
incurred in fact, must be assumed by the client. We are entitled to
reject the alteration in the person of the participant if this third person
does not seem suitable for the package offer or legal ordinances or
official instructions stand in the way. Should a third person enter into
the contract, then both he/she and the client are liable to us as codebtors for the tour price and for the additional expenses which have
been incurred due to the entry of the third person.
5.5. If we have ordered entrance tickets for the client, e.g. for the
theatre or other events, we have no liability to accept them back.
5.6. In the case of thematic city tours, day trips and other guided
tours, it is agreed that cancellation until 3 days before the commencement
of the tour is without costs. If the cancellation is made 2 days before
the commencement of the tour or later, a cancellation charge of 15
Euros per booked tour is due.
6. Withdrawal or Cancellation by Gera Tourismus e.V.
We are entitled to withdraw from the contract before or after
commencement of the tour in the after-mentioned cases:
6.1. Without a period of notice when the client, after a prior warning,
disturbs persistently the performance of the tour through his behaviour
or conducts him/herself in non-negligible contravention of the contract,
so that the immediate cancellation of the contract is justified. If we
make use of this exceptional clause, we maintain our claim to the tour
price, with a reduction for the value of the saved expenses as well as
of those benefits which we may derive from the use elsewhere of the
services not performed.
6.2. We are entitled to cancel the contract until 2 weeks before
commencement of the tour if, by this date, the minimum number of
participants, as stated in the prospectus, has not been reached. In this
case, we are bound to inform the client immediately of the nonperformance of the tour and to declare our withdrawal from the contract.
The already paid tour price will be refunded to the client immediately.
If the tour is hindered, endangered or impaired considerably by acts
of God which could not be foreseen, both we and the client may cancel
the contract merely on the basis of this stipulation. If the contract is
cancelled for this reason, we may demand an appropriate compensation
for the services already performed or for the services which become
necessary in order to bring the service to a conclusion. § 651 j BGB is
supplementary to this stipulation.
We will willingly provide the client with a copy of these conditions of
transportation.
8. Guarantee
8.1. If we do not perform the service for the client according to contract,
then the client has a claim to redress in as far as this requires no
inappropriate effort and expense. In order to fulfil our obligation of
redress, we will offer an equivalent service as a substitute.
8.2. The client is entitled to demand a corresponding reduction in the
tour price for the duration of the non-performance of the service due
to the contravention of the contract on our part.
8.3. The client is bound to inform us immediately of any deficiency in
our service, so that, in the case of the occurrence of a disturbance of
the service, damage may be avoided or kept to a minimum. If the
customer does not give notice of damage culpably, then he/she loses
the claim to a reduction.
9. Superannuation
According to the statutory stipulation, the client must make a claim
against us for the non-performance of the tour services in contravention
of the contract within a month after the contractually stipulated
conclusion of the tour. After the expiry of this period, the client can
only make a claim if he/she had been hindered, through no fault of
his/her own, in making the claim within the time limit. Claims of the
client are superannuated after 6 months. The period until superannuation
begins on the date on which the tour should end according to contract.
If the client makes such a claim, then the commencement of the period
until superannuation is delayed until the date on which we reject the
claim in writing.
10. Salvatory Clause
7. Liability
7.1. Our contractual liablility for damages which do not constitute
bodily damage, is limited to the threefold value of the tour price, in
as far as damage to the client has not been caused willfully or through
gross negligence, and in as far as we are liable for damage to the client
which has been caused only by the fault of the provider of a service
(§ 651 h BGB). The same applies to all claims of the client for damages
against us due to impermissable action which was not performed willfully
or through gross negligence.
7.2. We are not liable for a disturbance of the service in connection
with services which have merely been negotiated as external services
of others and which are stated in the tour description expressly to be
services of others.
7.3. If international conventions or statutory ordinances based on such
conventions apply to any of the tour services performed by our providers
of services, according to which a claim for damages only arises or can
only be made or is excluded under certain conditions or limitations,
then our liability is limited or excluded accordingly (§ 651 h II BGB).
7.4. If we point out in our tour description and/or in the tour confirmation
that transportation will be performed by public transport services, then
this is for us the external service of others. In such cases, we are not
liable for the performance of the service. The liability is defined in such
cases by the conditions of transportation of the respective enterprise.
The invalidity of any stipulations of these general conditions of tours
does not invalidate the remaining stipulations of these conditions of
business. An arrangement is then deemed to have been agreed between
the parties which corresponds most exactly to the will of the parties
as expressed in these conditions of business.
11. Tour Operators
In so far as services are not designated expressly as "package tours"
in our offers, yet, on the other hand, are supplemented with the
complete address, telphone number and, when occasion arises, with
the telefax number, then Gera Tourismus e.V. is only the intermediary
agent. In this case, the stipulations of § 651 a I BGB apply.
12. Competent Court
The client can only take legal action against us at or location. The
venue of the competent court is thus the lower court of Gera (Amtsgericht
Gera). In so far as we make claims arising from contracts of which the
contractual partners are commercial agents in their own right and/or
persons who have no general competent court in Germany, and/or
against persons who have removed their place of residence or their
usual place of sojourn abroad since the conclusion of the contract,
and/or whose usual place of sojourn is unknown at the time of initiating
legal proceedings, then Gera is agreed to be the sole venue of the
competent court.
Supplement Concerning BUGA-Info-Tours
In preparation for the Bundesgartenschau Gera Ronneburg 2007 (Federal Garden Exhibition 2007), the "Neue Landschaft Ronneburg" (New
Landscape Ronneburg) and the "Hofwiesenpark" (Court Meadows Park) are building sites on a major scale without pubic access. Every visitor
must therefore be aware that he/she has entered a building site, so that the soiling of clothes and shoes, and, in the case of wet ground, the
danger of slipping cannot be excluded. The wearing of stout shoes resistent to slipping is the responsibility of the participant. With his/her
participation on a BUGA-Info-Tour, the participant accepts our General Conditions of Business as well as this Supplement:
1. Entering the building site is at one's own risk. Driving or riding on the building site is not allowed.
2. Building work may not be hindered.
3. Only official paths may be used. Areas on which work is being carried out or has been completed may not be entered or driven or rode
over.
4. Within the building site there is building traffic which is not subject to the regulations of the German highway code (StVO). Priority must
be given to all building site vehicles.
5. All roads, paths or other areas within the building site may be dirty. The visitor must pay special attention to this fact.
6. The dumbing or removing of any material or plants is forbidden.
7. Platforms and similar constructions may only be used in the presence of an employee of BUGA 2007 GmbH. Using the platforms is at one's
own risk. Each platform may be used by a miximum of 15 persons at any one time.
8. If damage or obstacles are evident, entering the building site or using the platforms or similar constructions is forbidden.
9. Oral or written instructions on location must be followed.
10. The liability of BUGA 2007 GmbH for material or immaterial damage is excluded, as far as is permissable by law, if neither wilfulness or
gross negligence are involved.
