Online tickets
In our Internet store, in addition to the merchandising items placed therein, online tickets are also offered for purchase. Online tickets can be purchased through the Internet store and printed out by the buyer after successful payment. Online tickets are not bound to the seller and are also transferable to third parties; however, they cannot be resold. The purchaser undertakes to carry the printed tickets with him in the original in legible paper form and to show them at the admission control or have them read automatically. Tickets not carried, tickets in non-printed form (in particular digital images of tickets), copies of tickets or non-readable tickets where the barcode is damaged or destroyed do not entitle the holder to admission to our vehicles. Multiple use of an online ticket for more than one person is excluded unless it is a group ticket on which the number of participants is noted. We reserve the right to limit the sale of Online Tickets via our Internet store to a certain number of tickets in total, without the need for the trips to be fully booked. Irrespective of this, we reserve the right to limit the purchase of tickets by an individual purchaser to a certain number in order to prevent the resale of tickets. Resale of the online tickets purchased from us by the purchaser to third parties is prohibited and may result in cancellation of the ticket in accordance with section 5.4. of these General Terms and Conditions. The online tickets are produced by our cooperation partner Beckerbillet GmbH, Fangdieckstraße 61, 22547 Hamburg, Germany. 3.2 Availability

Right of withdrawal
You have the right to revoke this contract within fourteen days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, have taken or has taken possession of the goods. In the case of a contract for several goods that you have ordered as part of a single order, but which are delivered separately, the withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day on which you or a third party named by you, who is not the carrier, have taken or has taken possession of the last goods. In the case of a contract for services, the withdrawal period is fourteen days from the day the contract is concluded. In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Bergbahnen im Siebengebirge AG, Drachenfelsstraße 53, 53639 Königswinter, Fax: 02223-4734, E-Mail: info@drachenfelsbahn.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from the contract.

7.2
Consequences of revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall reimburse you all payments we have received from you, including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting from the fact that you have chosen a type of delivery other than the favorable standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and no later than within fourteen days from the day on which we received the notification of your revocation of this contract. For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees because of this repayment.
We may refuse repayment until we have received the goods back or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is the earlier.

The deadline is met if you send the goods before the expiry of the period of fourteen days. You shall bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
You must pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value is due to handling of the goods that is not necessary for testing the condition, properties and functioning of the goods.
If you have requested that the service should begin during the cancellation period, you must pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided up to the time you notify us of the exercise of the right of cancellation with regard to this contract compared to the total scope of the service provided for in the contract.
