In such a case, the Service Contract shall be concluded on the basis of a proposal for the conclusion of a contract sent by the Provider to the e-mail address provided by the Client. The Service Contract shall then be concluded when the Client delivers their consent to the proposal for the conclusion of the contract to the Provider. The provisions of Section 1740 (3) of the Civil Code shall not apply in such a case. In such a case, both Contracting Parties must agree upon the content of the contract by e-mail. The Client's or the Provider's acceptance of an offer must be unambiguous.

• The Seller may require the Buyer to pay an advance payment, especially (but not only) in cases where the Goods are made to order. The information on the amount of the advance payment and its due date shall be stated in the order, or the Seller shall send it to the Buyer together with confirmation of the order. The Contracting Parties agree that if they have agreed upon an advance payment, the Seller shall not be obliged to offset the production or modification of the ordered Goods before the advance payment is made, and that if the advance payment is made late, the accrued delay period may set back the deadline for production, modification and delivery of the Goods. The Contracting Parties further agree that if the Buyer does not pay the advance payment in the specified amount and on time, the Seller shall be entitled to withdraw from the Purchase Contract at any time by sending notice of withdrawal to the Buyer's e-mail address stated in the order, or alternatively to the Buyer's correspondence address specified in the order.
• The Goods shall be handed over or shipped to the Buyer after the total purchase price has been credited to the Seller's bank account or after the payment in cash has been received.
• The Buyer shall pick up the Goods either in person from the Seller or the Seller's sales representative specified in the order, or they shall be delivered to the address specified by the Buyer in the order. If the Seller is obliged to deliver the Goods to the place specified by the Buyer in the order, the Buyer shall be obliged to take over the Goods upon delivery.
• If, for reasons on the part of the Buyer, the Goods have to be delivered repeatedly or in a different way than stated in the order, the Buyer shall be obliged to pay the costs associated with the repeated delivery of the Goods, or the costs associated with an alternative method of delivery.
• In the event that the Goods are transported by a carrier, the Buyer shall be obliged to inspect the integrity of the packaging upon receipt of the Goods and, in the case of any defects, to immediately notify the carrier, with whom the Buyer shall then draw up the relevant report. The Buyer shall also be obliged to immediately notify the Seller of an incomplete or damaged shipment. In the event of a breach of the packaging indicating unauthorised entry into the consignment, the Buyer shall not be obliged to accept the consignment from the carrier.
• The Buyer is obliged to inspect the Goods immediately upon receipt and to read the instructions for their care and use, if any such instructions are provided. If the Buyer does not report a defect in time, they forfeit the right to withdraw from the Purchase Contract.
• If the Buyer is a consumer, the ownership rights to the Goods and risk of damage to the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time of receipt of the Goods from the carrier.
• If the Buyer is not a consumer, the Seller shall deliver the Goods to the Buyer by handing them over to the selected carrier for transport to the Buyer, and shall allow the Buyer to exercise their rights from the contract of carriage against the selected carrier. The risk of damage to the Goods shall pass to the Buyer who is not a consumer, at the moment the Goods are handed over to the selected carrier for transport to the destination specified in the order.

4. SUBJECT MATTER OF SERVICE CONTRACTS

• Based on the Contract(s) specified above, the Provider undertakes to allow the Client to participate in the event specified in an order, to provide tickets for events, to provide membership in the club and platform, and to sell requested Goods, and the Client undertakes, based on the specific contract, to pay the Provider a fee in the amount specified in the Service Contract and under the conditions specified in Article 4 of these Terms and Conditions.

• The Client undertakes to pay the Provider a fee for enabling participation in the event, for providing tickets to the event, for membership in the club and platform, and the purchase price in case of the sale of Goods, in the amount specified in the specific contract. The Provider's fee does not include the cost of accommodation at the venue and the cost of transport to the venue. However, the Provider's fee may include some other services provided by the Provider if they are directly related to the event and its proceedings (refreshments, etc.). Any such additional contractual performances shall always be defined in detail in the specific contract.
• The Client shall pay the fee to the Provider online by payment card via a secure payment gateway, to which the Client will be automatically redirected after sending the order.

• The Client can withdraw from an event by sending a withdrawal request to the Provider's e-mail address: helas@helas.org.In the event that the Client withdraws from an event in this way less than sixteen (16) days before its scheduled start, the Client shall not be entitled to a refund. This shall not affect the provisions of the Terms and Conditions governing consumer relations set out in Article
• Withdrawal from an event by the Client after the expiry of the period specified in Article 5.1 of these Terms and Conditions shall have no effect on its cancellation (the Provider shall be entitled to the fee in full under the Service Contract).

• If the Client does not attend an event, they will not receive any monetary or non-monetary compensation from the Provider.
• In the case of concluding a contract for membership in one of the Provider's programmes, the Provider draws attention to the fact that this contract cannot be terminated during its validity period and the Client shall not be entitled to a refund of the membership fee or a proportional amount thereof. Membership is always concluded for a definite period, specifically one calendar year. It is the exclusive choice of the Client whether or not to actively use the membership during this period. The billing period in the case of a contract for membership in one of the Provider's programmes is one calendar year. The Provider informs the Client that contracts for membership in one of the Provider's programmes are not the type of contract whose validity would be automatically extended for another period. Automatic extension of the validity and effectiveness of such a contract is therefore never agreed upon.

7. CANCELLATION OR CHANGE OF AN EVENT DATE
