1.2 The General Terms and Conditions apply both to consumers (§ 13 of the German Civil Code) and to entrepreneurs (§ 14 of the German Civil Code); if individual provisions apply only to entrepreneurs, this is noted at the appropriate place.

6. cancellation of the event and changes by Wrage

If the Customer is a merchant within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB) or has its permanent place of residence abroad, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes shall be Hamburg. Wrage reserves the right to bring an action also at the place of jurisdiction of the Contractual Partner.
The law of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to the exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory provisions of the state in which the Customer has its habitual place of residence shall remain unaffected.
Should individual provisions of these GTC be invalid or unenforceable or become invalid or unenforceable after conclusion of the contract, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining General Terms and Conditions (GTC).
