MEISER reserves the right to change the event or cancel it in the event of force majeure or exceptional circumstances, as instructed or determined by the track management and/or the operator of the toll, racing or training track, as well as an official order from authorities or other public institutions. This does not give rise to any claim for damages or costs against MEISER. For the purposes of this entire contract, force majeure shall be understood to mean all circumstances that cause a failure or delay in the fulfilment of the obligations of the party, directly or indirectly, due to forces beyond its control.

a) The participant acknowledges and will comply with the rules of use of the toll, race or training track used during the event in their currently valid form.

b) All costs incurred by the participant, for example due to damage to the track (e.g. crash barriers, cleaning fees, towing costs, tyre stacks, etc.) in connection with participation in the event, shall be borne by the participant. The costs shall be paid directly and immediately to the operator of the toll, race or training track.

If a track day or driver safety event is booked by a third-party organiser and MEISER merely registers the participant for this event, the respective terms and conditions and specifications of the third-party organiser shall apply, of which the participant shall be notified separately prior to conclusion of the contract.

a) If closure occurs during an event that has already begun, MEISER will transfer the remaining laps or unused kilometres to another event or issue a voucher valid for the next 24 months.

b) If the booked event has to be cancelled or the participant is unable to attend due to force majeure, the party who first becomes aware of this must inform the other party immediately. MEISER will issue a voucher for the full value of the booking, which is valid for the next 24 months and can be used by the participant at any event organised by MEISER as soon as the hindering circumstance ceases. The same applies to the closure of the track or changes to opening hours.

a) For cancellations within 14 days prior to the agreed date, the price will not be refunded.

This consent includes photo, sound and film recordings made during the event or the rental period. Technical failure of such equipment does not entitle the participant to a refund. MEISER is entitled to use these recordings free of charge for advertising purposes.

18. The parties agree to submit any disputes arising from or in connection with this contract to the jurisdiction of the Local Court of Koblenz or to another court where the customer has their place of residence or property.

For renting a vehicle

1. MEISER offers its own vehicles and those of third parties for hire at events (track days, driver safety events, road tours and tourist trips), which can be used during the events.

2. The vehicles are checked by MEISER and are handed over to the hirer with a full tank of fuel, in a roadworthy and safe condition, and cleaned. At the end of the rental period, the vehicle must be returned to MEISER immediately. MEISER will inspect the vehicle after it has been returned. If the vehicle is not returned with a full tank (98 octane petrol (Super Plus)), MEISER will charge the renter €3 per litre of fuel separately. This only applies to vehicles rented as part of the Basic Package. In the event of heavy soiling, the renter shall pay the cleaning costs charged by MEISER. MEISER accepts no liability for items left in the vehicles.

3. If the renter does not book the vehicle for the entire day, it must be returned as follows:

a) When booking a 40 km (2 laps) package, the vehicle must be returned 2 hours after handover by MEISER, or in the case of a morning booking, by 12:45 p.m. at the latest, and in the case of an afternoon booking, by 8:00 p.m. at the latest.

b) If an 80 km (4 laps) package is booked, the vehicle must be returned 3 hours after handover by MEISER, or in the case of a morning booking, by 12:45 p.m. at the latest, and in the case of an afternoon booking, by 8:00 p.m. at the latest.

c) When booking a 120 km (6 laps) package, the return must take place 4 hours after handover by MEISER, or in the case of a morning booking, by 12:45 p.m. at the latest, and in the case of an afternoon booking, by 8:00 p.m. at the latest.

d) When booking a 160 km (8 laps) package, the vehicle must be returned 5 hours after handover by MEISER, but no later than 8:00 p.m.

e) Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, vehicles booked for the afternoon or rented for the day must always be returned to MEISER by 8 p.m. at the latest. For all bookings, a separate fee of 15% of the booked services will be charged by MEISER for returns that are more than 15 minutes late.

4. The vehicles are intended for use on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit, driving safety centre, Spa-Francorchamps and other race tracks and public sections. The vehicles must be used properly and with foresight. The costs for petrol and track fees are to be paid by the hirer when booking the Basic Package. The hirer shall comply with all legal provisions relating to the hire and, in particular, the provisions of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO). Fines, penalties or similar charges relating to the use of the vehicle are to be paid by the hirer.

5. The rented vehicle may not be transferred to third parties. The renter and authorised driver(s) are only the person(s) named in the contract. MEISER reserves the right, at its own discretion (e.g. in the event of adverse weather conditions, driver skills, vehicle availability, etc.), to offer the renter an alternative vehicle; The renter must be informed immediately of any vehicle change. Any positive difference between the price of the vehicle booked and the price of the vehicle actually used will be refunded to the renter or, at the renter's discretion, converted into a voucher valid for 12 months. A vehicle change by MEISER entitles the renter to terminate the contract. MEISER shall not reimburse any costs incurred by the renter up to this point.

6. During the journey, the renter must check the vehicle's displays, in particular tyre pressure, engine, oil and water temperature. As soon as the renter notices a defect while using the vehicle, this must be reported to MEISER immediately. Any suspicion of a malfunction must also be reported to MEISER immediately. Continuing to drive the vehicle may cause considerable damage. Over-revving the engine (in BMW e36 325i and BMW e90 325i from 6,900 rpm, Suzuki Swift 7,200 rpm, Hyundai i30n 7,200 rpm) due to improper gear shifting or similar requires the technical condition of the engine to be checked; the renter undertakes to pay the costs incurred as a result. For inspection purposes, the data recording system will be read out after the vehicle has been returned to MEISER

7. The vehicle must be used properly. In cases of improper use (such as drifting, burnouts, etc.), MEISER reserves the right to issue a warning to the renter or to prohibit further use. In such cases, no refund will be made for the booked use of the vehicle. The hirer shall be liable for damages and above-average wear and tear to the vehicle, in particular to tyres and brakes.
If the vehicle is equipped with launch control, the hirer and driver are prohibited from using it.

8. When mileage packages are agreed, no credit will be given for unused kilometres within the specified time frame. The only exception to this is if there was no opportunity to use the booked service due to the early closure of the race track/event due to third-party fault or force majeure. In this case, the unused kilometres will be credited in the form of a voucher.

9. The hirer is responsible for damage to the hired vehicle, the track (e.g. crash barriers/barriers), other affected vehicles or persons, and for any towing and rescue costs, even if an instructor/coach is present in the passenger seat. This includes extreme situations in which the instructor/coach has to actively intervene in driving manoeuvres and also cases in which the instructor/coach is driving the rented vehicle.

Cost coverage when using a hire car

1. The hirer undertakes to be liable for all internal/external damage, theft or mechanical defects (e.g. clutch) up to the maximum amounts listed below that occur during the hire period of the vehicle. This applies regardless of which car was reserved. The same applies to all repair costs or cost estimates/expert opinions from third parties. The renter accepts liability for MEISER vehicles to the following extent:

Suzuki Swift Sport: £6,500
BMW e36 325i: £18,500
BMW e90 325i: £15,500
BMW g20 330i: £65,000
Hyundai I30N Performance: £22,500
VW Golf GTI Performance: £22,500

The hirer's obligation to compensate for damage exists independently of the above and is limited to a maximum of

of the amount of the actual damage or to the extent of the usual depreciation in value. The hirer expressly has the right to prove that the damage did not occur as a result of negligent behaviour or improper use. The hirer also has the right to prove that the depreciation in value was significantly lower. In the case of wilfully caused damage, the tenant is liable for 100% of the damage, irrespective of the above. Payment of compensation does not entitle the tenant/driver to acquire ownership of the vehicle or individual vehicle parts.

In the event of third-party damage, the renter undertakes to assume 100% liability for third-party claims on public roads and race tracks (including tourist drives). In the event of damage caused intentionally, the renter shall also be liable for 100% of the damage, irrespective of the above.

7. The participant warrants that they do not suffer from heart or spinal problems. They also warrant that they do not have any other ailments or illnesses that could impair their participation.

8. The organiser reserves the right to have the service owed by him performed by a third party. In doing so, the organiser undertakes to select the third party carefully so that the participant receives a service of the same type and quality. In such cases, the organiser assumes no liability for the service to be provided, but only for the careful selection of the third party.
