For team registrations, the designated contact person must ensure that the necessary consent has been obtained for all minor participants registered as part of the team.

As the event at Weissensee may depend on the prevailing weather, ice and safety conditions, the organizer reserves the right to make changes to the event schedule, starting times, tournament format or other organizational details.

Mandatory statutory liability provisions remain unaffected.
In particular, the organizer is not liable for damages resulting solely from the general risks inherent in the sport and which were not culpably caused by the organizer.
Liability for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, as well as liability for personal injury, is not excluded by these Terms and Conditions where such exclusion would not be permitted by law.
