Our general terms and conditions for Driving Experience are applicable. Consumers do not have the right to withdraw from the contract pursuant to § 18 para. 1 no. 10 FAGG (Fern- und Auswärtsgeschäfte-Gesetz).
These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") are divided into Sections. The headings serve only for better orientation and clarity and besides that they do not mean any legal obligations. Each Section contains general provisions which apply to all kinds of contractual relationships as described herein. Further separate provisions for Driving Experience events, for experiences without engine, for the use of areas/event rooms and for hospitality may arise and apply to these areas in this version, as they deviate from the general provisions. If these provisions are incomplete and/or there is no separate regulation for the area concerned, the general provision shall apply. If a subject is not regulated in these GTC, the regulation most favourable to PS shall be deemed agreed.
Otherwise, these GTC shall apply. The GTC do not exclude individual agreements.

The demonstration drives are carried out for advertising and sales promotion purposes. The power of disposal over the presented vehicles remains exclusively with INEOS Automotive Limited.
