(1) These terms and conditions regulate the use of the Choir Manager by the user (hereafter also referred to as „you”) on the website www.choirmanager.com (hereafter also referred to as “website”). Operator of the Choir Manager and contractual partner of the user is the G&L Geißendörfer & Leschinsky GmbH (hereafter also referred to as “us”).
(2) The purpose of the Choir Manager is the administration of appointments for choirs and their members. If you want to use the functionality of the Choir Manager, you have to create a user account. This requires a registration with the Choir Manager (cf. § 2). After a successful registration you will receive login details (email-address and password) for your user account, with which you can subsequently login to the Choir Manager.
As user you have basically the option of participating in one or more choirs either as a manager or as a singer. If you are registered with the Choir Manager as a manager for a choir, you can for example send invitations for appointments of a choir to choir members or add individuals to a choir or appoint them to specific choir voices. If you are registered with the Choir Manager as a singer for a choir, you have the opportunity among others to catch up on upcoming choir appointments or look up contact information of other choir members.

You may revoke your contractual statement within a period of 14 days, without giving reasons, in text form (e.g. letter, fax, email). The time limit starts once these instruction have been received in text form, but not before the closing of the contract and not before we have fulfilled our obligations to provide information as defined in Article 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 (1) and (2) of the Introductory Act to the Civil Code (Einführungsgesetz zum BGB “EGBGB“) as well as our duties pursuant to § 312g (1) sentence 1 BGB in conjunction with Article 246 § 3 EGBGB.
In the event of a valid revocation, the goods or services received by both parties must be returned and, where applicable, any accrued benefits (e.g. interest) surrendered. If you cannot return to us the goods or services received including the benefit drawn from them (e.g. utilization benefits), either in whole or in part, or can do so only in a deteriorated condition, then you must provide us, where applicable, with compensation. This can have the effect, that you must meet the contractual payment obligations for the time period until the revocation. Obligations concerning the return of payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. The time limit starts for you with the dispatch of your notice of revocation, for us with its reception.
Your right of revocation expires prematurely, if the contract has been completely fulfilled by both sides according to your explicit wish, before you have exercised your right of revocation.

We are entitled to carry out appropriate measures in defense against claims of third parties ourselves. You have to coordinate your own measures with us beforehand. The indemnification includes the compensation of costs, we have incurred or will incur by legal defense.
(2) The obligations under (1) do not apply, if you are not responsible for the infringement.
(1) We shall be liable under the statutory provisions if you raise claims for damages based on a wilful act or gross negligence, including a wilful act or gross negligence of representatives or assistants of us.
(2) In the case we are blamed for a minor negligent breach of a principal contractual duty, the fulfilment of which alone makes proper implementation of the contract possible, and the breach of which jeopardises the achievement of the contractual object, and on observance of which you may duly rely, our liability in damages will be limited to the predictable, typically occurring damage.
(3) Liability for culpable loss of life, bodily injury or impaired health and liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected. Unless stipulated otherwise above, any liability of us is excluded.
(1) Insofar as written form is required in these terms and conditions, this shall mean exclusively written form pursuant to § 126 BGB.
(2) All agreements which provide additions or alterations to these terms and conditions are to be in writing. Details in brochures, advertisings or other documents, especially on the website, serve only as description and do not represent a guarantee, in particular they represent no guarantee of condition.
