1.3. These conditions apply to both consumers and entrepreneurs, unless a distinction is made in the respective clause. A consumer within the meaning of these terms and conditions is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that predominantly cannot be attributed to their commercial or independent professional activity.

2.4. Allaround Academy reserves the right to change the content of the website at any time. However, Allaround Academy is not obliged to update and/or modify information on the website. It also reserves the right to delete already uploaded training videos and other content from the website. Users have no claim to the restoration of deleted videos and/or other content.

These courses can be purchased independently of a subscription and are available to the user for the duration specified at the time of purchase. There is no entitlement to specific content, a certain number of courses, or permanent availability.
3. Registration
3.1. To use the website www.allaround-academy.de, especially to watch training videos there, prior registration of the respective user is required. During registration, a user account is created under the username and password chosen by the user. The same username cannot be chosen or used by different users. Users have no entitlement to a specific username.

3.3. A prerequisite for registration is that the user has reached the age of 18 at the time of registration. Allaround Academy does not conclude contracts with minors.

4. Conclusion of Contract
4.1. On the website www.allaround-academy.de, Allaround Academy presents subscriptions. The subscriptions shown on the website constitute an invitation to submit a contractual offer only.
4.2. The contract is concluded via the online order system on the mentioned website as follows: By clicking on "Packages & Prices," subscriptions with different durations and prices can be viewed. After clicking the button "Start free trial," the user can select the desired subscription and then enter payment details. All order details are displayed as an order summary. By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, the user makes a legally binding offer pursuant to § 145 German Civil Code (BGB). The contract is only concluded upon receipt of a separate registration confirmation sent by Allaround Academy to the user via email.
4.3. The processing of the order and the transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract take place partly automatically via email. The user must ensure that the email address provided to Allaround Academy is correct and that the receipt of emails is technically ensured and not blocked by spam filters.
4.4. A complete contract text is not stored by Allaround Academy. After receipt of the order, the order data, legally required information for distance contracts, and the General Terms and Conditions are sent again by email to the user.
5. Provision of Services
5.1. During the term of the subscription, the user is provided with online training videos for streaming on the e-learning platform at www.allaround-academy.de. Streaming means simultaneous and unaltered use of the e-learning portal on a computer or other electronic device, where no permanent copy is created on the user's device.
5.2. Access to streaming of online training videos on the e-learning platform is granted to the user upon payment according to the provided payment modalities (see clause 7.2). The user will also be informed of the access by email. For video packages with a one-time payment, the full purchase price is due immediately upon conclusion of the contract. Access to the content only occurs after full receipt of payment. There is no automatic renewal or further payment obligation.
5.3. The user has no entitlement that the online training videos uploaded at the time of contract conclusion remain permanently available on the e-learning platform. The same applies to online training videos added during the contract term. Allaround Academy reserves the right to change or remove online training videos at any time at its sole discretion and without notice. There is no claim for restoration.
5.4. The user has no entitlement that the uploaded training videos are exclusively available on the e-learning platform. Allaround Academy reserves the right to use and publish the training videos elsewhere.
5.5. Data communication over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be error-free and/or continuously available according to current technology. Allaround Academy is therefore not liable for the permanent or uninterrupted availability of the website www.allaround-academy.de and the online training videos hosted there.
5.6. The quality of content playback may vary between devices and be influenced by various factors such as the user's location, available bandwidth, and internet connection speed. The user is responsible at their own expense for providing the necessary conditions to use the website, in particular an internet-enabled device, sufficiently powerful internet connection, a current browser, and functioning headphones or speakers.
6. Contract Term and Termination
6.1. The contract concluded between Allaround Academy and the user has the contract term specified in the respective subscription (minimum term).
6.2. If the contract is not terminated by either party at least 48 hours before the end of the contract, it will automatically renew for the agreed minimum term. If the minimum term is more than one year, the contract will renew only for one year at a time.
6.3. Termination can be done by the user via the termination function in their user account under the "Cancel subscriptions" button or by written notice to Allaround Academy. The date of receipt of the termination by Allaround Academy is decisive for compliance with the deadline. After receipt of termination, the user will receive an email confirming the cancellation.
6.4. If the user fails to pay or pays late, Allaround Academy reserves the right to terminate the contract and/or suspend the subscription until payment is made.
6.5. The right to terminate without notice for good cause remains unaffected.

8. Liability and Personal Responsibility
8.1. The Allaround Academy assumes no responsibility for the correctness, completeness, or timeliness of the online training videos and other information provided on the website www.allaround-academy.de. The Allaround Academy is not liable for the content of the online training videos, especially for the advice given therein, nor for the acquisition and application of the knowledge gained, unless the Allaround Academy, a legal representative of the Allaround Academy, or a vicarious agent of the Allaround Academy acts intentionally or with gross negligence.
8.2. Riders are always responsible for their own health and physical integrity as well as that of the animals used. Any imitation of the content from the online training videos is at the user's own responsibility and risk.
8.3. The online training videos and other content on the website www.allaround-academy.de serve only for general information purposes and cannot be used as the sole basis for decisions without consulting primary, more detailed, complete, or up-to-date sources of information.
8.4. The online training videos show professional riders handling horses under controlled conditions. If the user independently decides to apply or imitate the depicted working methods, training techniques, treatments, or other content, they should first carefully assess the risks considering their own skills, the horse’s character, and the content shown, and if necessary, consult a knowledgeable person. Especially minors should only carry out the depicted content under adult supervision.
8.5. The Allaround Academy is liable within the framework of streaming and/or viewing the training videos for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health caused by intentional or negligent breach of duty by the Allaround Academy, its legal representatives, or vicarious agents. For all other liability claims, the Allaround Academy is unlimitedly liable only for intent and gross negligence by legal representatives and vicarious agents. For slight negligence, the Allaround Academy is liable only if a duty is breached that is of particular importance for achieving the contract’s purpose (cardinal duty). In the case of slight negligence of a cardinal duty, liability is limited to five times the net remuneration owed by the user within a period of 3 months and to damages that typically occur in the course of contract fulfillment.
8.6. Any liability is limited to compensation for direct damages. Liability for indirect personal, property, or financial damages, especially loss of profit, business interruption, production downtime, and other consequential damages, is excluded to the extent legally permissible.
8.7. The above limitations also apply in favor of the legal representatives and vicarious agents of the Allaround Academy if claims are made directly against them.

9.2. Use of the e-learning platform on the aforementioned website is permitted exclusively for private and personal use.

Consequences of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including delivery costs (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than fourteen days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will use the same means of payment that you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
12. Final Provisions
12.1. The contract language is German.
12.2. German law applies. For consumers, this choice of law applies only insofar as it does not deprive the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer’s habitual residence (principle of favorability).
12.3. Amendments, side agreements, or additions require written form to be effective. If this is not fulfilled, they are void. This also applies to changes to this written form clause.
12.4. Written form within the meaning of these Terms and Conditions means letter, fax, or text form (§ 126b BGB).
12.5. The place of performance for all services from business relations with the Allaround Academy and the place of jurisdiction is the registered office of the Allaround Academy, provided the user is not a consumer but a merchant, legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law. The same applies if the user has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the place of residence or habitual residence is unknown at the time the action is filed. The right to bring an action before a court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected.
12.6. The provisions of the UN Sales Convention (CISG) are expressly excluded.
12.7. For reasons of better readability, masculine forms are used for personal designations and nouns in these Terms and Conditions. Corresponding terms apply equally to all genders. The abbreviated form is without prejudice to any value judgment.
12.8. Should any provision of this contract be invalid, void, or unenforceable for legal or factual reasons (invalid provision), the remaining contractual provisions shall remain unaffected. Instead of the invalid provision, the legally effective regulation that best corresponds to the meaning and purpose of the invalid provision and the entire contract as well as good faith with regard to customary practice shall be deemed agreed. This also applies in the event of a contractual gap.
