BUSINESS TERMS AND CLAIM PROCESSING RULES 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. The statutory city of České Budějovice, company ID 00244732, registered office nám. Přemysla Otakara II. No. 1/1, 370 92 České Budějovice, (hereinafter also referred to as the “City”) has issued these Terms and Conditions stipulating the rights and obligations for the City and third parties with regards to the CBsystem sales network.
   
   
2. These business terms, including the complaint procedure, apply to purchases of tickets for cultural, social, sports or other events (hereinafter referred to as "Events") done through the use of the CBsystem (i.e. through the city's website at www.cbsystem.cz or purchased at sale points listed at www.cbsystem.cz/cs/prodejni-mista). Invoice orders and bulk orders made through CBsystem ("CBS/CRK") are also considered ticket purchases. By purchasing a ticket in any form, the buyer expresses their consent to these Terms and Conditions and the Claim Processing Rules and undertakes to observe them.
   
   

3. With the exception of Events organised directly by the departments of the City of České Budějovice, the City is not the organiser of the Events for which tickets are sold through the CBsystem. The City provides reservations and sales, including ticket distribution for these Events as well as other related services under the name and on behalf of the organiser (hereinafter only the "Organiser"), and the City does so based on authorisation defined in a contract concluded with the Organiser. By purchasing a ticket, a contract between the customer, i.e., the buyer (hereinafter also referred to as the "Ticket Holder" or "Buyer") and the Event Organiser is created. This contract specifies the provision of leisure services within a specific time period. A ticket allows the Ticket Holder to enter the event under the conditions set by the Event Organiser and these business terms. All claims and complaints shall always be directed towards the Organiser of the Event. That means that the City is not responsible for any changes related to the Event or for the actual Event, nor is the City responsible for any type of expense or damage that the Ticket Holder, or any third party, may incur in connection with the Event.
   
   
4. By booking and purchasing a ticket, the Buyer accepts the business terms of the Event Organiser, of the CBsystem operator, and at the same time agrees to comply with the Operating Rules of the Event Organiser, accepts the location of the Event and other organisational services.
   
   
5. The ticket purchasing procedure is described in detail in the "How to buy" section at www.cbsystem.cz. Payment methods and ticket delivery options, including fees, are also described in detail there. The "How to buy" section is an integral part of these Terms and Conditions. The Buyer is obliged to follow these procedures when purchasing tickets and to accept the payment and ticket delivery conditions.
   
   
6. The CBsystem operator, i.e. the City, only guarantees the validity and authenticity of tickets purchased through the CBsystem network. The City is not responsible for the authenticity of tickets purchased outside of the CBsystem, for example, from resellers, etc. The Ticket Holder is responsible for handling the purchased tickets properly. Any unauthorised Ticket Holder handling potentiating the risk of misuse, invalidation or inadmissible ticket tampering could result in ticket rejection and thereby the inability to enter the relevant Event. The Ticket Holder is obliged to keep the ticket in a safe place and must not publish photos of tickets on social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.).
   
   
7. The Organiser reserves the right to change the programme, performers, location or dates of each Event. By purchasing a ticket, the Buyer acknowledges the above rights of the Organiser. 
   
   

8. The Event Organiser and www.cbsystem.cz portal operator reserve the right to withdraw from the contract should there be an obvious error in the ticket price, unless it is clearly stated that a "special discount" or "special event" applies.
