In such cases, the participant will receive a full refund of the participation fee. Further claims against Gasss on the part of the participant are rejected. Gasss is not liable for any reduction of track time due to crashes, other disruptions to driving, bad weather conditions or similar. In such cases, the participant is neither entitled to a full nor a partial refund of the participation fee.

7. LIABILITY DISCLAIMER
The participant takes part in events organised by Gasss at their own risk.
Gasss is not liable for any accidents involving its clients. Each client is responsible and liable for their own driving style and choice of racing line, even when following an instructor.
Under civil and criminal law, the participant is solely responsible for any damage caused by them or by the vehicle they use.
The participant waives any claims against other participants (drivers or passengers), their assistants and the owners or keepers of the other vehicles for damages of any kind related to the training or competitions.
The participant personally assumes liability, with respect to the organiser, that they alone shall drive the vehicle they have registered. The participant shall also be liable for any damage to persons and property caused by third parties using their vehicle during the event. Each participant is personally responsible for damages caused to their own vehicle, even if these damages are caused by third parties.
By submitting their registration, the participant declares that they waive all claims for damages of any kind against the organiser, track marshals, medical personnel, track owners, sponsors, race services and other persons connected with the organisation of the event, including their vicarious agents, arising in connection with the events.
Gasss does not assume any liability for the condition of the racetrack and the associated equipment.
The participant is responsible for ensuring that they possess a sufficient level of insurance cover (e.g.: accident, liability, medical expenses, disability, automobile and health insurance). Each participant must be in possession of medical insurance when attending any events that we host. For events held abroad, supplementary health insurance is required. By submitting their registration form, the participant confirms that they have acquired this. The organiser reserves the right to charge the injured party for any medical expenses incurred away from the racetrack (transport to the hospital, etc.). First aid treatment at the racetrack is included in the participation fee. Gasss is not obliged to take out insurance.

8. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Each participant is obliged to provide themselves with suitable protective clothing to serve as protection against injuries arising from an accident or similar.
Suitable protective clothing is mandatory for all events organised by Gasss, including:

• Full-face helmet
• Back protector
• Leather suit with protectors (a one-piece or two-piece connected by a zip)
• Motorcycle boots
• Motorcycle gloves

Compliance with these basic rules is essential for ensuring safety. Failure to do so will entitle Gasss to deny the participant permission to participate in the event without prior warning. In such cases, the participation fee will neither be refunded nor will any discount be granted.

9. TECHNICAL CONDITIONS
In principle, the vehicle used must be in perfect, safe operating condition.
This particularly, but not exclusively, applies to the following points:

• the volume of your vehicle may not exceed the limit set for that particular racetrack.
• the starting number allocated to you must be clearly visible on the front of your vehicle.
• Gasss offers at least one obligatory driver’s meeting at each event, during which information is provided about the technical regulations in effect, the programme and any special conditions to look out for.
• mirrors and registration plates must be removed.

• the participant must remove any objects attached to the vehicle and other protruding parts before the start of the event.

• in practice or during the races themselves, it is possible for drivers driving at different speeds to collide with each other. You are, therefore, required to exercise caution and consideration for other participants. Stopping on the track for any reason is strictly prohibited.

Complaints, suggestions and wishes are also accepted. Compliance with these basic rules is essential for ensuring safety. Gasss is entitled to exclude the participant from participation in the event without prior warning if these rules are contravened. In such a case, the participation fee will neither be reimbursed nor discounted.

11. TRANSPONDERS
Each participant’s vehicle will be fitted with a transponder. Lap times are recorded for the sole purpose of ensuring that the participant is in the correct group and are not compared for competitive reasons. For safety reasons, participants not in possession of a vehicle with a transponder may not take part in the event. Transponders will only be provided if the participant provides a document (insurance card or licence) as a deposit. If the transponder is lost or damaged while in use by the participant, the participant is liable for its replacement or repair. If the participant does not return the transponder at the conclusion of the event, their deposit will be held until its return.

12. RECORDING OF IMAGES, FILM AND VIDEO MATERIALS / PUBLICATION OF LAP TIMES
All photographs taken or slides and videos made by Gasss representatives during the events are the copyrighted property of Gasss.
Gasss is authorised to use this material for advertising purposes, even if the client and their guests can be identified in it. Gasss is not obligated to pay any royalties to the client or their guests in such cases.
Gasss may publish any photo and video recordings they make without requiring any further consent on the part of the participant; in particular, Gasss may post such material on Facebook/Instagram, etc. for the purposes of viewing and download.

Any participant who contavenes these conditions may be excluded from the event without prior warning. In such a case, the participation fee will neither be reimbursed nor discounted.

14. DATA PROTECTION
When initiating, concluding, processing and rescinding a contract with Gasss, Gass will collect, store and process data according to the statutory provisions. By taking part in the event, the participant is deemed to have given their consent to this.
Gasss guarantees that the participant’s personal data will not be passed on to third parties, unless Gasss is legally obliged to do so or the participant has expressly consented to this in advance. If Gasss uses the services of third parties to implement and process data, the provisions of the Data Protection Act shall be observed. The personal data the participant provides to Gasss, upon registration or by e-mail, will only be used for correspondence with the participant and solely for the purpose for which it was provided to Gasss.

Personal data provided to Gasss via its website will only be stored until it has been used for the purpose for which it was provided. As far as commercial and tax retention periods are concerned, the data may be stored for up to ten years.
When visiting the Gasss website, the IP address used by the participant’s computer or device at the time of the visit, the date and time, the browser type, the user’s operating system and the pages the participant views are logged. This does not, however, enable Gasss to draw conclusions about personal data, nor is it intended to do so.
