1.2 Contract and online ticket sales

1. LogiMAT is a special event that takes place at the Messe Stuttgart convention center. LogiMAT visitor passes are sold through the ticket shop of Messe Stuttgart, Messepiazza 1, 70629 Stuttgart, Germany www.messe-stuttgart.de. Messe Stuttgart acts as an intermediary, selling tickets on behalf of the Organizer. This means that the Organizer offers LogiMAT tickets for sale in its own name and on its own account.
   The purchase of a ticket initiates a sales contract between the purchaser and the Organizer of LogiMAT.
    
2. By submitting an order online, the Visitor makes a binding offer. The contract comes into effect when Messe Stuttgart processes or debits the payment on behalf of the Organizer. The Visitor waives the right to be notified that the order has been accepted.
    
3. Tickets can only be purchased online. Once the purchase is complete, the tickets are sent by email, and the Visitor has the option to either print them out or present the e-ticket on a phone or tablet at the entrance.
    
4. In addition to the email confirmation and tickets, Messe Stuttgart also issues an invoice in the name of the Organizer, who is solely responsible for providing the services.
    
5. A ticket that has been reproduced or resold without authorization does not entitle the holder to attend LogiMAT. The single-use QR code on the ticket is validated at the venue using a QR code scanner.
    

1.3 Third-party providers

The Organizer, when offering services (such as PresseBox) in partnership with third-party providers, can act only as a broker of services. Such services are agreed exclusively between the Visitor and the third-party provider and may be subject to separate terms and conditions the third-party provider. The entire contract process and the resolution of any disruption in the services is handled exclusively between the Visitor and the third-party provider.

3. Payments can be made using the payment methods indicated during the ordering process. The Organizer reserves the right to restrict payment options – for example, by offering only those options consistent with the buyer’s creditworthiness in order to mitigate credit risk. Since LogiMAT is a hosted by the Messe Stuttgart convention center, the venue collects the amount payable from the ticket purchaser on behalf of the Organizer.
    
4. Tickets remain the property of the Organizer until payment has been rendered in full. If a payment is reversed, the tickets will automatically be invalidated.
