These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) govern the contractual relationships between Escape City GmbH (hereinafter “Escape City”) and its customers (hereinafter “Customer”) and their game participants (hereinafter “Participants”) and are an integral part of each individual contract between the Customer, his Participants and Escape City (hereinafter “Contract”). Individual contractual provisions remain reserved and take precedence over any contradictory provisions in these GTC.

2. Services

In addition, Escape City offers the organization and implementation of customized private or corporate events in combination with the Escape Rooms. For more info, please visit <https://escapecity.ch/de/corporate-events/> or contact us. The exact scope of Escape City’s services is determined by the Contract between the Customer and Escape City.

Customers can book and pay for one or more Escape Rooms directly online via the Escape City’s website <https://escapecity.ch/de/>. With the online payment, the Contract regarding the booked Escape Room, the selected number of Participants as well as the intended game duration for the Escape Room is legally concluded between the Customer and Escape City.
The Customer can cancel an online Escape Rooms booking free of charge up to 48 hours before the booked date and up to 4 hours before the booked date against receipt of a voucher in the same amount as the paid service. In case of later cancellation or no-show, the Customer will owe the full price for the booked services and will not be entitled to any refund.
Any reimbursement of the price will be made in principle in the same way in which the payment was made.
3.2 Customized private or corporate events
In the case of customized private or corporate events in combination with the Escape Rooms, the Contract is concluded when the Customer accepts the offer made by Escape City verbally or in writing, or when the parties sign the Contract concerning the organization and execution of the event. The Customer undertakes to inform Escape City at least 7 days before the event of the definitive number of Participants on the basis of which the definitive invoice amount for the event will be calculated (number of Participants x price per Participant), unless the parties have agreed otherwise in an individual Contract.
After the conclusion of the Contract, the Customer may cancel a private or corporate event in writing up to 7 days before the event free of charge and against refund of any deposits or advances. In case of cancellation of the event less than 7 but more than 3 days before the event, the Customer owes Escape City for the resulting damage 50% of the agreed price for the event (confirmed number of Participants x price per Participant); in case of cancellation of the event less than 3 days before the event, the Customer owes Escape City for the resulting damage 100% of the agreed price for the event (confirmed number of Participants x price per Participant).
Any refund of deposits or advances shall be made in principle by the same method by which the payment was made.
3.3 Cancellation by Escape City

In this case, the Customer is entitled to a rebooking to another date or to another Escape Room, to receive a voucher in the amount of the paid price for the booked services or a refund of the price for the booked services.
