  2. Provisions in connection with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 virus / the coronavirus)
    1. Obligations and declarations of the Customer or Course Participant:
      The Customer is generally aware of the occurrence of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions as a result.

      In this respect the Customer is obliged to ensure familiarity with of all existing restrictions, rules of conduct and recommendations for action pertaining to the region in which the Ski & Snowboarding School is located. These also include the current COVID-19 regulations for accommodation and cable car businesses. The Customer is aware that rules of conduct which the same is independently responsible for observing e.g. such as regular hand washing with water and soap and other hygiene measures, social distancing, if necessary the wearing of a face mask where social distancing is not possible or even mandatory, coughing and sneezing into a paper handkerchief or the crook of the arm and refraining from greetings with physical contact could serve to prevent further spread of the virus by the Customer.

      The Customer must comply with all corresponding instructions of the Ski & Snowboarding School or ski hire business that serve to protect the health and safety of the contractual parties. These instructions concern premises of the Ski & Snowboarding School, the meeting place or assembly point and all locations that are visited during the lessons.

      The Customer also gives assurance that the same will comply with and follow corresponding instructions and rules of conduct which are communicated by third parties e.g. such as lift or cable car businesses, accommodation businesses, catering businesses or other businesses which the Customer uses at a time that coincides with use of the services of the Ski & Snowboarding School.

      The Customer declares that the same has had no typical symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 14 days before initial attendance at the lessons.The Customer also declares that to the knowledge of the same the Customer has had no contact with people infected with COVID-19.

      The Customer declares that the same will stay away from the lessons and will contact the telephone health advice line on 1450 to give further clarification there in the case of symptoms e.g. such as a dry cough, shortness of breath, loss of sense of taste or smell, sore throat or fever that occur before the start of a lesson. This also applies if the Customer suspects that the same is suffering with COVID19 or an illness that has not yet had further medical clarification.

      If relevant symptoms occur or the suspicion of suffering with COVID-19 arises during the lessons then the Customer will immediately inform the Ski & Snowboarding School of this so that the Customer can be immediately isolated from other people.

      The Customer acknowledges that the occurrence of infection with COVID-19 or proof of infection even in only one other customer of the Ski & Snowboarding School could result in performance of the contractual service by the Ski & Snowboarding School having to be cancelled and all customers attending the lessons consequently having to be placed in quarantine or to undergo COVID-19 testing at the Customer’s own expense.

      The Customer acknowledges that the personal data of the same will be used for the purpose of contact tracing (in connection with COVID-19) with respect to the Ski & Snowboarding School and the Customer consents to this.
       
    2. Special provisions for contractual relationships:
      The service performance is possible for the Ski & Snowboarding School: If performance of the contractual service is possible for the Ski & Snowboarding School and the Customer does not attend the lessons then the provisions outlined above under “cancellation conditions” apply correspondingly. This is also the case if the Customer cancels or has to cancel the attendance of the same at the lessons because of proven or suspected infection of the Customer with COVID-19 before or during the contractual performance by the Ski & Snowboarding School.

      The service performance of the Ski & Snowboarding School is certainly possible as long as the use of piste areas is not completely prohibited or cable car or lift operation is not completely halted in the ski resort where the Ski & Snowboarding School is based. The closure of any accommodation business used by the Customer, closures of third-party businesses or the emergence of infections in third parties in the location or region where the Ski & Snowboarding School is based do not render service performance by the Ski & Snowboarding School impossible. The same applies for any potential departure obligations or departure recommendations affecting the Customer owing to corresponding travel warnings or recalls by states for their own citizens if these were foreseeable or must have been foreseeable for the Customer on the basis of the information obligations applicable to the same.

      The service performance is entirely or partially impossible for the Ski & Snowboarding School:
      In the following cases the corresponding performance obligation of the Ski & Snowboarding School shall cease entirely or partially for the contractual period and the Customer shall receive a voucher that is redeemable at a later date for a corresponding subsequent period of lessons unless the Customer makes a written request for a corresponding refund of the fee already paid by the same:
      • Regulatory business closure or universal business closures if these also affect the business of the Ski & Snowboarding School,
      • Regulatory cessation of operation of all lift and cable car businesses if the operation is essential for the service performance by the Ski & Snowboarding School,
      • Officially ordered quarantine for the entire location or entire region where the Ski & Snowboarding School is based or • Government-ordered departure obligation affecting the Customer if the same was unable to anticipate it.

      The performance obligation of the Ski & Snowboarding School shall also cease if the ski or snowboarding instructor accommodation used by ski or snowboarding instructors of the respective ski & snowboardingschool is affected by official closures or other health precautions such as quarantine measures or mandated isolation owing to the occurrence or suspected occurrence of one or more COVID-19 infections there among ski or snowboarding instructors or third parties and if at least 10% of the members of teaching staff of the Ski & Snowboarding School are absent as a result. The Ski & Snowboarding School is specifically not obliged to buy in teaching services.
