Enquiries (e.g. group enquiries) and bookings (e.g. online bookings) are hereinafter referred to as bookings.

A. Services provided by SPORT 2000 rent:
SPORT 2000 rent maintains a web-based reservation and booking system for the advance booking of sports equipment. For this purpose, SPORT 2000 rent uses an encrypted SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection, which establishes a secure connection between the customer and the SPORT 2000 rent reservation and booking system. This reservation and booking system includes sports equipment presentation and booking options from the respective hire shop.
B. Services provided by the hire shop:
The hire shop is obliged to supply the customer with all sports equipment in accordance with the e-ticket.
Should the corresponding sports equipment not be available when the customer arrives, a better or equivalent model from the current hire stock of the hire shop shall be made available to the customer at no additional cost. SPORT 2000 rent cannot be held responsible for delays in the supply of sports equipment.
C. Conclusion of the contract
The hire contract is concluded exclusively between the customer making the booking and the respective hire shop from which the sports equipment is hired. SPORT 2000 rent does not hire out sports equipment itself, but acts only as an agent.
1. BOOKING:
After the booking process has been completed with a successful payment, SPORT 2000 rent sends the e-ticket (booking confirmation) to the customer by email and also makes this e-ticket available for download on the booking completion page. As this email is automatically generated, SPORT 2000 rent also recommends that the customer regularly check their personal spam/junk folder for the corresponding email. Depending on the payment provider, it may take up to 24 hours to send the e-ticket. As a rule, however, the e-ticket will be delivered within 3 hours after receipt of payment. With this (printed) e-ticket, the customer can collect the booked sports equipment from the respective hire shop. SPORT 2000 rent also forwards the e-ticket to the respective hire shop.
By completing the booking, the customer confirms that their personal data, used for the professional adjustment of the sports equipment, are correct. It is expressly stipulated that the customer is not permitted to change the adjustments made by the hire shop without authorisation.
The booking becomes valid for the customer upon full payment and receipt of the e-ticket. For the hire shop, the booking becomes valid upon receipt of the e-ticket.
It is the customer’s responsibility to check that the e-ticket delivered is correct without delay. Any discrepancies between the e-ticket and the desired booking must be reported immediately to SPORT 2000 rent.
Booking reminder:
330 days after the last completed booking on sport2000rent.com, the customer receives a one-off, automatically generated reminder email. This will only be sent if there is no valid booking in the system for the current season. The reminder email will be sent to the email address of the last booking.
2. PRICES
The prices are the online prices shown on the SPORT 2000 rent website for the desired sports equipment.
The prices are inclusive of all taxes and fees applicable at the time of booking, minus the online discount.
Red crossed-out prices represent the in-store price at the hire shop and the black price represents the discounted online price.
Displayed prices as well as payment are exclusively in euros.
In case of an obvious price error, which must be obvious to the customer, SPORT 2000 rent reserves the right to cancel the booking without giving reasons.
It is stipulated that pricing is the responsibility of the respective hire shop. Regional price fluctuations are therefore possible and SPORT 2000 rent has no control over this.

Should the corresponding sports equipment not be available when the customer arrives, a better or equivalent model from the current hire stock of the hire shop shall be made available to the customer at no additional cost.
The hire shop cannot be held responsible for delays in the distribution of sports equipment caused by circumstances beyond the hire shop's control (in particular accidents, delays in the return of equipment from prior hires, force majeure, strikes, peak times in the hire shop, etc.). In this case, the hire shop will make every effort to provide the customer with sports equipment of an equivalent or better quality, in accordance with the stock available in the hire shop concerned.

The hire shop can make copies of these documents (in compliance with the data protection regulations), which serve for the proper processing of the rental contract.
The hire shop may also demand a deposit for the sports equipment, which will be refunded upon proper return of the sports equipment.
As a rule, the sports equipment can be picked up from 16:00 on the day before the first hire day. If the booking is made less than 48 hours in advance, collection the day before cannot be guaranteed.
