§ 1 Scope

These General Terms and Conditions, in the version valid at the time of conclusion of the contract, apply to services provided by ESA GmbH (hereinafter: ESA) in the context of the planning and implementation of soccer camps.

§ 2 Conclusion of the Contract

(1) The ESA website represents a non-binding invitation to interested parties to submit a binding offer aimed at concluding a contract (invitatio ad offerendum). By submitting the registration, the registering person submits such a binding offer. By sending the registration confirmation, ESA accepts this offer, so that a contract between ESA and the registering person is only concluded upon receipt of the registration confirmation.

(2) Registration is made via the ESA online form, by telephone, or in writing by sending/submitting official registration forms. Registration by telephone or in writing is excluded.

(3) The registering person alone becomes the contractual partner. This also applies if several people are registered for participation in one registration.

(4) ESA will inform the registrant by email if a registration is rejected, for example, because the maximum number of participants has been reached.

§ 3 Payment and Default

(1) After conclusion of the contract, the participation fee is due for payment to ESA's account within 14 days. If the registration date is within the last two weeks before the start of the respective soccer camp, the invoiced amount must be paid by bank transfer within 7 days. If payment is not received within the specified period, ESA reserves the right to terminate the contract. If payment is not received by the start of the soccer camp, the entire participation fee must be paid in cash on the first day of the soccer camp.

(2) The prices displayed on the ESA website at the time of conclusion of the contract apply.

(3) The right to participate in ESA soccer camps is subject to full payment of the agreed fee.

§ 4 ESA Services and Right to Change

(1) The scope of the contractual services owed by ESA is determined from the service description in the brochures, posters, and ESA's website.

(2) ESA is entitled to make any necessary changes or modifications to the content, methodology, and organization before or during the football camp, provided that these do not significantly alter the benefits of the announced camp for the participants.

§ 5 Withdrawal and Termination by the Registering Person

(1) If the participant does not participate in the football camp, the registering person is not entitled to a refund of the participation fee.

(2) If the participant falls ill, the registering person may terminate the contract in writing before the start of the football camp if appropriate cancellation protection was purchased upon registration. If the football camp is canceled due to illness or injury, the participation fee will not be refunded pro rata.

(3) Cancellation protection only applies if the following conditions are met:

a. Cancellation protection can only be purchased during camp registration (booking form) or within 24 hours of registration by phone or email to the organizer.
b. Only the camp fee is insured.
c. Booked extras remain valid.
d. Cancellations must be made in writing via email.
e. If cancellations are made less than 4 weeks before the start of camp, the reason for cancellation must be externally documented (medical certificate, etc.).
f. If the camp fee has not yet been paid, you will receive an invoice for the amounts due, such as clothing, extras, and the cancellation protection fee.

§ 6 Participant's Obligations

During the soccer camp, participants are obligated to follow the instructions of ESA staff and to adhere to the camp rules.

§ 7 Termination by ESA, Rebooking

(1) ESA reserves the right to cancel the soccer camp if the minimum number of participants of 15 is not reached no later than 14 days before the scheduled date, or for other important reasons beyond ESA's control (e.g., sudden illness of staff; force majeure). The registrant will be notified of this immediately. Any participation fee already paid will be refunded immediately in such cases.

§ 8 Liability

(1) The scope of services does not include a duty to safely store the clothing, equipment, valuables, and other personal belongings of the participants. ESA assumes no liability for theft and/or damage.

(2) The liability of ESA, its legal representatives, and vicarious agents is limited to the foreseeable, ve

Typical, direct average damages. This does not apply to liability for intent and gross negligence. Claims for injury to life, limb, or health, as well as for the breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations arising from the nature of the contract, the breach of which jeopardizes the achievement of the contract's purpose), are also not covered.

(3) ESA is not liable for service disruptions in connection with services that are merely arranged as third-party services, insofar as these have been identified or are recognizable as such.

§ 9 State of Health of the Participant

(1) A further prerequisite for participation is that the participant is fully fit for physical activity and physically healthy, does not suffer from any contagious disease, and has a current tetanus vaccination at the time of the course. The person registering assures ESA that the persons they have registered are in an appropriate state of health.

(2) Participants' medication intake and relevant allergies must be reported to ESA in writing before the soccer camp begins.

(3) Any changes in the health status of the participant that occur during the camp must be reported to ESA immediately.

§ 10 Insurance

Every participant must have health and liability insurance; children and young people must have insurance through their legal guardians. This also applies to unregistered participants in the soccer camp, such as parents for the Parent-Kids World Cup. Participation in the entire camp is at your own risk without special insurance coverage from ESA.

§ 11 Medical Care

(1) In the event of minor injuries to participants that occur during the soccer camp, the registering person, if they are the parent or legal guardian, agrees that they will be cared for by ESA supervisors. If the registering person is not the parent or legal guardian, they must obtain the appropriate consent from the parent or legal guardian of the participant in question before the start of the camp and provide proof of this to ESA.

(2) In the event of any further injuries or illnesses during the football camp, the registrant, if they are the parent or legal guardian, authorizes ESA to take all necessary steps and measures to ensure safe, appropriate treatment and/or repatriation. Where possible, this will be done after consultation with the registrant and, if applicable, the parent or legal guardian. Should ESA incur costs due to such emergency medical care, the registrant agrees to reimburse ESA for these costs immediately. If the registrant is not the parent or legal guardian, they must obtain the appropriate consent from the parent or legal guardian of the participant in question before the start of the camp and provide evidence of this to ESA.

(3) ESA will immediately notify the registrant of any changes in the participant's health status during the event. If the registrant is not the parent or legal guardian, they agree to immediately forward any relevant notifications from ESA to the parent or legal guardian.

§ 12 Warranty Rights Under Purchase Law

With regard to the items transferred during the soccer camp, the warranty rights under purchase law apply, unless liability is excluded under these Terms and Conditions.

§ 13 Photos and Videos

Publishing photos or videos of the participant on the ELITE Academy website and on all social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) is permitted. If the parent or guardian does not consent to publication, this must be communicated in writing in advance by email to info@elite-soccercamps.com.

§ 14 Player Package

(1) Please note that for registrations received less than 7 days before the event, the player package will be sent directly to the specified postal address. Accordingly, the ticket price will be increased by the shipping fee of €10. Please note that in this case, timely delivery of the package can no longer be guaranteed.
(2) If a product from the player package is no longer available in the desired size at the time of registration, it will be reshipped to the specified address.
(3) Complaints regarding the player package will only be accepted in writing via email to info@elite-soccercamps.com.
