10. Right of Cancellation and Exceptions
10.1. Exercise of the right of cancellation
As a consumer within the meaning of the Austrian Consumer Protection Act ([German acronym:] KSchG), the Purchaser has the statutory right to cancel/resile from the contract with Casinos Austria within 14 days from the date on which the Purchaser or third party named by the Purchaser who is not the carrier has received the Casino Shop Product. However, this does not apply to tournament tickets, if the cancellation/rescission [hereinafter referred to as “cancellation”] takes place after the tournament date.
It is only possible to cancel an order in its entirety. It is not possible to cancel individual products/vouchers (e.g. group packages such as Fun & Friends Table, Zone and All-In-One).
However, there shall be no right of cancellation in the event that, on the basis of an express request by the Purchaser pursuant to sec. 10 of the Distance and Field Sales Act ([German acronym:} FAGG) and confirmation by the Purchaser of his/her knowledge of the loss of the right of cancellation where the contract has been fully performed by Casinos Austria, performance of the contract was commenced prior to expiry of the cancellation period and was then performed in full.
In order to exercise the right of cancellation, the Purchaser must inform Casinos Austria (address: Rennweg 44, 1038 Vienna; shop@casinos.at; Fax: +43 1 534 40 22222) of the decision to resile from the contract by a clear declaration (e.g. letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). The Purchaser may also use the model cancellation form available under the link Cancellation form, but this is not mandatory. The declaration of cancellation is not bound to any particular form. The cancellation period shall be deemed to have been complied with if the Purchaser sends the declaration of cancellation to Casinos Austria during the cancellation period.
10.2. Consequences of cancellation
If the Purchaser cancels the contract within the cancellation period, Casinos Austria shall refund any payments made by the Purchaser. In the event of cancellation, Casinos Austria shall reimburse all payments made by the Purchaser, including shipping costs (with the exception of additional costs arising from the fact that the Purchaser has chosen a form of delivery other than the most favourable standard delivery offered by Casinos Austria), promptly, but within 14 days at the latest from the date of receipt of the notice of cancellation by Casinos Austria. The same method of payment shall be used for refund as the Purchaser used for processing his or her payment. Casinos Austria may refuse to make refund until the Casino Shop Product has been returned to Casinos Austria or until proof has been provided that the Casino Shop Product has been returned, whichever is earlier.
If the Purchaser cancels the contract, the Casino Shop Product must be returned to Casinos Austria without delay, but no later than 14 days from the date of the notice of cancellation. The time limit for return shall be deemed to have been complied with if the Purchaser sends the Casino Shop Product to Casinos Austria within the time limit for return. The Purchaser shall bear the direct costs of returning the Casino Shop Product.
A purchased casino voucher for printing (Print-at-home) does not have to be returned to Casinos Austria after the declaration of cancellation, but rather loses its validity.
If the customer cancels the purchase of a Casino Shop Product during the cancellation period and if the customer has already made use of services from that product, the customer shall pay the pro rated amount due for the service already utilised. The amount shall consist of the service already rendered and the total scope of the intended service.
11. Reservation of Title
The Casino Shop Product shall remain the property of Casinos Austria until full payment of Casinos Austria’s claims. If the Casino Shop Product is passed on to a third party, the reservation of title must be pointed out separately and thus remains valid.
12. Warranty
The warranty shall be governed by the applicable statutory provisions. It is limited to the statutory period of two (2) years from the date of acceptance of the goods by the Purchaser or, in the case of services, from the date of conclusion of the service contract.
In the case of well-founded complaints, the goods will either be replaced free-of-charge or remediated, for which a reasonable grace period must be granted. If replacement or remediation is unfeasible (not possible, the effort involved is excessive, unreasonable, delay etc.), the Purchaser shall be entitled to an abatement of the price or, if the defect is not minor, to cancellation of the contract.
Defects that do occur must be notified as far as possible upon delivery or as soon as they become visible. If the purchase is a business transaction (B2B), the entrepreneur must inspect the goods within two weeks after receipt and notify Casinos Austria immediately if a defect is found.
13. Liability
Casinos Austria shall only be liable for damages caused by intentional acts or gross negligence. Liability for slight negligence is hereby disclaimed. Casinos Austria shall not provide any compensation for indirect damages, lost profits, financial losses, consequential damages, failing to achieve savings and damages resulting from claims of third parties against the Purchaser. These limitations of liability do not apply to consumers within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG) for personal injury and damages arising from a breach of the primary contractual obligation
14. Applicable Law, Jurisdiction
All transactions are governed by Austrian law. It is expressly agreed that the conflicts-of-law provisions of Austrian law and the provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
If the Purchaser is a consumer within the meaning of the Consumer Protection Act (KSchG), jurisdiction for actions against the consumer shall be vested in the court in whose district the consumer’s domicile, habitual residence or place of employment is located. In all other cases, the exclusive jurisdiction is agreed to be vested in the court with subject-matter jurisdiction thereof at the place of Casinos Austria’s registered office.
15. Conciliation
Casinos Austria undertakes to participate in the conciliation procedure of the Internet Ombudsman’s Office in the event of disputes: https://www.ombudsstelle.at.

16. Severability Clause
Should any of the provisions of these GTC, for whatever reason, be found invalid or void in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof. The fully or partially invalid provision shall be deemed replaced by a provision whose economic effect comes as close as possible to that of the invalid provision. The same shall apply to any contractual gaps.
