1. Subject matter of the contract / Scope of application / Regulations / Credit card or-ganisations / Supplementary agreement

1.1 NetDebit GmbH specification of performance

NetDebit GmbH (NetDebit) collects data on customers, in their own name who are interested in visiting events of the Organiser via the Internet portal https://www.netdebit-test.de has an online system through which payment is charged to the customer for the provision of electronic entrance tickets (e-tickets) for events implemented by the Organiser. In addition to this, NetDebit verifies customers before the provision of the e-tickets by means of special processes (e.g. using internal blacklists).

NetDebit also provides a service for Organisers through its partner programme, which has the aim of increasing awareness of their events in the market and increasing the number of e-tickets provided and thereby resulting in significant increases in revenues. Within the frame-work of the partner programme, participating agents (webmasters) advertise the events of the Organisers electronically and in the event of conclusion of a mediated contract between NetDebit and its customer, these agents will receive a commission. NetDebit will handle the processing of the entire partner programme for the Organiser. This also includes the entry and payment of commission to the webmasters.

The Organiser is aware that NetDebit shall be unable to guarantee continuous availability of e-tickets to customers for events of the Organiser on account of technical circumstances, such as possible overloading of telecommunication networks.
