2 Publication, validity and accessibility of the GTC The Service Provider undertakes to ensure that the General Terms and Conditions inform the Customer of the provisions directly affecting him.
2.1 The date of publication of these GTC on the website www.vrtoursvienna.com is January 1, 2024

3 Conclusion of the contract These GTC apply to every natural person who uses the services of the service provider VR Tours GmbH by purchasing or redeeming a ticket. With the conclusion of the contract, the GTC are automatically considered as accepted, and consequently the rights and obligations provided are qualified as binding for both parties. If the customer does not consider the provisions of these GTC to be binding on him, the service provider is entitled to refuse to provide the service and at the same time to refund the customer the purchase price of the ticket purchased. An exception to this last-mentioned reimbursement is made if the customer expresses his disagreement after the end of the use of the service.
4. The scope of the service The service provider offers the customer a virtual reality experience in connection with a city tour with the main purpose of entertainment. Consequently, the experience is on a historical theme; entertainment and experience mediation are the main focus, not the real depiction of historical events. Although the service provider has endeavored to be as historically accurate as possible, certain scenes do not fully cover reality in order to provide the customer with a better experience. Consequently, we are unable to investigate complaints regarding historical accuracy. The service can be used by anyone at their own risk. The scenes demonstrated during the city tour, which show virtual reality, contain sound and visual effects that may cause viewers to become agitated or in unfamiliar states of mind, therefore the service is not recommended for people with epilepsy or with a tendency to epilepsy. The Service Provider assumes no responsibility for any discomfort or other mental states that may arise from watching the sound and visual effects.
5 Conditions for the use of the service
5.1 The Service may be used by any person over the age of 14 (and by persons over the age of 8 with an accompanying adult), provided that the Customer and any accompanying person accept the conditions contained in these GTC.
