2 Intended use

2.1 The fixed equipment provided shall be used solely for the storage and serving of the beverages supplied by Rugenbräu. In the event of violations, Rugenbräu reserves the right to suspend orders that have already been confirmed and, moreover, to take back and demand the return of delivered fixed material without observing a deadline.

The same applies to cooking and barbecuing within sales stands. In the event of non-compliance, the tenant shall be responsible and shall bear the repair costs at cost (min. CHF 500.00 per object).


3 Reservation, Cancellation

3.1 Reservations are made in the order in which orders are received. To ensure timely delivery, an order (festive material and drinks) must be placed at least 15 working days before the desired delivery. All reservations only become binding upon written confirmation from Rugenbräu.


3.2 Cancellations can only be considered up to 14 days before the planned delivery. Cancellations received later will be charged 50% of the respective rental costs.


4. delivery modalities
4.1 The delivery of the festival material and the ordered drinks is carriage paid to the festival site (unloading point) and includes return transportation. Access must be guaranteed for all vehicles (trucks). The organizer shall designate a contact person who must be on site, both for delivery and collection.


4.2 The lessee is responsible for the distribution and erection of the festival material. Tents must be properly secured to the ground and lashed down. They must be dismantled by the hirer if the wind speed exceeds 40 km/h or if there is a risk of gusts of wind/storms.


4.3 At the end of the rental period, the hirer undertakes to provide the festival material together with the empty and full beverage containers in a proper, cleaned, dismantled and ready-to-transport condition (corresponding to the condition on delivery; glasses must be washed) for return transportation. Any additional costs incurred by Rugenbräu for the collection of festival material not provided and/or the cleaning of dirty festival material shall be charged to the hirer at cost (CHF 90.00/hour).


4.4 Returns of goods:
- The delivery of beverages is always on consignment. The selling price shall be determined by the reseller, but may not be lower than the purchase price
of Rugenbräu. Only clean, flawless and resalable beverages in (unopened, undamaged)
original containers will be taken back.
- Rugenbräu generally cannot take back torn containers (= goods that are no longer fit for sale). If you would like to return already used containers for your
relief, we will take them back, but a credit note is not possible. Barrels/gas cylinders
are considered used if the plastic cap has been removed.
- For returned goods with a remaining shelf life (MHD) of less than three months (90 calendar days), only the value of the empties or
their deposit value will be credited

4.5 Refrigerated trucks, refrigerated tents and bar trolleys are delivered without extension cables. The Lessee is responsible for connecting all electrical equipment in accordance with SEV standards.

4.6 A delivery surcharge of CHF 70.00 will be levied for goods with a value of less than CHF 300.00 (excluding rental of fixed materials and containers).

4.7 The Lessee is obliged to check the delivery of goods and the fixed material for completeness and functionality upon handover. Any defects must be reported to Rugenbräu immediately. Subsequent complaints cannot be taken into account; in this case, the rights in respect of defects are forfeited and have no influence on the obligation to pay the rent.

The rental period begins, depending on Rugenbräu's choice, on Thursday or Friday at the earliest and ends on the following Monday or Tuesday. A surcharge of 50% of the rental price shall be charged for each subsequent weekend.

6.4 Rugenbräu accepts no liability for damage caused by improper use and securing of the party equipment or a breach of these GTC. Rugenbräu shall only be liable for any defects in the festival material and any resulting damage in the event of intent or gross negligence on the part of Rugenbräu.

6.5 The customer shall become the "renter" of the festival material within the meaning of Articles 6.1 - 6.4, irrespective of whether the festival material was provided by Rugenbräu for use with or without payment (i.e. also in the case of sponsoring or free rental by Rugenbräu). The "rental" is defined here by the transfer of festival material from the ownership of Rugenbräu to the temporary custody of the customer.

6.6 Swiss law shall apply. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Thun (place of jurisdiction for Interlaken).

7. exchange of sales statistics / sales data
