Without the express permission of Velomax, visitors to the venue are generally prohibited from bringing any type of audio or video recording equipment onto the premises and using it within the venue. Filming and photography of the artists and their performances, as well as of the building and its facilities, are not permitted. By entering the venue, visitors automatically consent to having photographs, film, and video recordings taken of them and used for reporting and promotional purposes. This consent also includes the use of images and voices in television recordings, streams, videos, and DVD productions related to the visit to the venue. Section 23(2) of the German Art Copyright Act (Kunst-UrhG) remains unaffected by this provision.

Smoking is strictly prohibited throughout the entire venue, including all adjacent rooms. Velomax reserves the right to impose a general ban on alcohol. Visitors who are under the influence of alcohol may be denied entry to the venue and may also be removed from the premises. The sale of any goods within the venue is not permitted without Velomax’s consent. Violations of the house rules or instructions from security personnel entitle Velomax to issue a one-time or permanent ban from the venue and to remove troublemakers from the premises. We reserve the right to take further legal action. Once the event has ended, visitors are required to leave the venue immediately.

Any admission ticket loses its validity upon leaving the venue—even during the event.

Velomax bears unlimited liability for injury to life, body, or health.
In cases of impossibility of performance, delay, or breach of material contractual obligations, Velomax is also liable for slight negligence; however, such liability is limited to typical, foreseeable damages. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance the visitor regularly relies and is entitled to rely. Typical foreseeable damages are those that fall within the scope of protection of the respective contractual provision that has been breached. In all other respects, Velomax is not liable for slight negligence. These limitations of liability also apply to Velomax’s officers and agents. This liability provision applies in particular to items stored during the event.
