  1. General / Scope
    1. The following general terms and conditions ("GTC") as well as the fortress- or castle-regulations apply for the purchase of tickets in the customer's chosen attraction operated by Salzburger Burgen & Schlösser management ("SBSM") and for all resulting relationships between SBSM and the user ("customer").
    2. SBSM also sells tickets for the funicular to the Hohensalzburg Fortress. SBSM does not operate the funicular itself, SBSM only sells tickets. If the customer purchases a ticket for the funicular, the customer enters into a transport contract with Salzburg AG on the basis of the “Conditions of Carriage for the funicular to Hohensalzburg Fortress”.
    3. These general terms and conditions, the conditions of carriage for the funicular to Hohensalzburg Fortress and the fortress- or castle-regulations are explicitly accepted by the customer when clicking the declaration "I have read and accept the general terms and conditions", in the online ticket shop. These documents can be printed, saved or downloaded as a pdf file.
  2. Ordering / Conclusion of the contract
    1. For online ticket purchases, a valid registration and a valid email address is required. Tickets can only be ordered if all mandatory fields (fields marked with an asterisk) are filled in. Before sending the order, the customer receives an overview of the contents of the entire order including prices, which can be corrected or confirmed under item 1 of the order form.
    2. By clicking the button "Order with obligation to pay", the customer sends an order to SBSM, and makes a binding offer. This offer is accepted by SBSM after positive confirmation of the payment transaction by sending the tickets to the specified email address. With receipt of the order by SBSM and the subsequent confirmation by SBSM, the contract for the purchase of the ticket(s) between SBSM and the customer is concluded.
    3. The tickets are only valid for the date or time period selected by the customer during the ordering process.
    4. The services offered by SBSM are leisure services that are performed at a given time or within a specific time period (§ 18 para 1 no. 10 FAGG). Therefore, online ticket sales and other contracts negotiated at a distance (e.g. by telephone or email) are not covered by the statutory right of withdrawal for distance sales. The conclusion of contract was not preceded by a meeting and is therefore subject to the Online and Distance Selling for Businesses (except the 3rd section), and § 3 KSchG (right of withdrawal) does not apply.
  3. Prices / Payment
    1. The prices can be viewed at the Online Ticket Shop. All prices are in Euros and include the statutory VAT.
    2. The total invoice amount is composed of: the ticket price (less any reductions/discounts), and the legally prescribed (Austrian) tax.
    3. Payment is conducted according to the method of payment selected by the customer when ordering. Payment administration is implemented by Adyen N.V.
    4. The purchase process is completed by entering the desired payment method and by clicking the button "Order with obligation to pay". This purchase is binding and cannot be cancelled. Ticket is valid only after it is paid in full.
    5. For the implementation of price reductions or discounted tickets (e.g. school-, student-, apprentice tickets) the legitimacy of the respective discount will be requested before or upon entry. If a discount is not selected correctly, the ticket has to be rebooked on the spot (with added payment up to the normal price). Visitors purchasing a ticket with admission time restrictions,and entering before or after the period for which the ticket is valid, will be required to pay a surcharge up to the value of the next available ticket.
  4. Information for booking procedure in accordance with § 9 E-Commerce Law (ECG)

      2. The application/registration information of the customer is entered;
      3. The desired payment method is selected by the customer;
      4. An opportunity is given to review the order before making the order with obligation to pay;
      5. The customer has read and accepted the General Terms and Conditions;
      6. By clicking the button "Order with obligation to pay", the booking process is completed and the customer sends the binding offer.
      7. After receipt of the order and confirmation of the payment transaction, the customer receives the ticket from SBSM including confirmation of the concluded contract and thus the contract between the customer and SBSM is complete.

    1. The tickets are sent after the conclusion and positive verification of the payment transaction by separate email to the customer at the email address specified in the order process.
