30. Each of the provisions of these terms and conditions is severable.

31. There is no right of withdrawal for consumers. Contracts for the provision of services in connection with leisure activities are excluded from the statutory right of withdrawal if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision. This means that if VE Volkslauf Events GmbH offers services in the field of leisure activities, in particular tickets for events, there is no right of withdrawal (§ 312g para. 2 sentence 1 no. 9 BGB).

The business relationships between the organizer and the participant are subject to the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. For consumers, this choice of law applies only to the extent that the protection granted is not withdrawn by mandatory provisions of the law of the state in which the consumer has his habitual residence. The validity of UN Sales Law is excluded.
