(1) The Customer acquires time credit from the Provider with which he can rent SUP boards for the duration booked by the Customer via the Provider’s website for his self collection and self return at the SUP stations of the location selected during the booking. The rented item is provided exclusively for contractual use in the area of the SUP station, i.e. the SUP board may only be used within one kilometer of the SUP station unless otherwise agreed.
(2) The customer is obliged to return the SUP board and the accessories in the condition in which they were taken. The usual signs of wear and tear (e.g. scratches, decoloration) are not taken into account. Check the SUP board carefully when you take it out of the compartment and notify us if you notice any damage to the SUP board which goes beyond the usual signs of wear and tear (e.g. scratches, decoloration).
5. Right of cancellation
Consumers have a right of cancellation.
However, the right of cancellation does not apply to contracts for the provision of services in connection with leisure activities if the contract provides for a specific date or period for the provision.
According to § 312g para. 2 no. 9 BGB, there is therefore no right of cancellation for the booking and rental of SUP boards.
For the creation of time credits, consumers have a right of cancellation as described below:

9. Right of cancellation
The customer can cancel the booking at any time by putting the SUP board and accessories back in the compartment and cancelling his credit for the specific booking via the booking display (My Bookings). Any time which has already been used since collection is deducted and the time not used is credited back to the Customer’s time credit.
10. Rights of the Customer with regard to Defects

(2) The Customer must immediately notify the Provider of any defects, malfunctions or damage.
(3) In the event of defects, the Customer can take another SUP board from another compartment after notification of the defect to the Provider. If no other SUP board is available, the Customer will be credited with his booked time credit by making use of his right of cancellation as described under point 9.
11. Limitations of Liability
(1) Within the framework of the statutory provisions, the Provider has unlimited liability for damage

(3) The above provisions apply mutatis mutandis to the liability of the Provider with regard to the reimbursement of wasted expenses.
(4) Liability according to product liability regulation remains unaffected.
12. Other agreements
(1) Changes or additions to these GTCs must always be in writing to be effective.
