1.1. Valcome.TV is hosted by and provided to you by Valcome Innovation GmbH. For further information, see the “About” section on our website.

1.2. Valcome Innovation GmbH provides a web-based service, primarily offering live streaming of sporting events. We reserve the right to make selected contents available on demand or offer additional compositions, such as highlight reels or compilation features made of sequences from different events, interviews, or promotional content from some of our advertising partners. The Content is usually subject to certain restrictions (including, but not limited to, certain territorial restrictions). You will be informed about these applicable restrictions before entering any contract and about changes in these restrictions via email.

1.3. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, Valcome Innovation GmbH is not the producer of any content presented on the service and is not responsible for the contents.

It allows users of Valcome.TV to access this third-party content through the platform.

1.4. Valcome Innovation GmbH and its parent company or other affiliates shall not have any liability to you for any delay or failure to deliver Valcome.TV to the extent that such delay or failure arises from causes beyond the reasonable control of us or any third-party rights holder. These causes include the failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communication lines, third-party action (including cyber-attacks on our service and temporary shutdowns prompted by such events), connection problems, operator errors, fire or natural events such as severe weather conditions or floods, acts or regulations of any regulatory, governmental or supranational authority, war, riots, pandemics and the cancellation or postponement of any event.

1.5. Our Content may be accessed from different countries, with the exception of territorial restrictions being applied by the licensor (such as leagues, sports federations or clubs) or other parties to certain events or contests. You will be informed about these applicable restrictions before entering into any contract and about changes in these restrictions via email.

1.6. We offer our services in one variation:

1.6.1 This option allows you to purchase live access to a single event (“ticket”) or a specific package of events, such as several tickets for a game series or a season ticket for a club or league (“subscription”). In the case of a subscription, the contractual relationship begins when the order is placed and ends with the expiry of the respective subscription period. Ordinary termination during the term of the contract is excluded. However, each party is entitled to terminate the contractual relationship at any time for good cause. For details regarding duration and pricing, please see the specifics of your subscription or ticket. These Terms & Conditions apply to all contracts you enter into with Valcome.TV, whether or not you purchase a ticket or a subscription.

Your acceptance of these Terms & Conditions is a necessary prerequisite for any usage of our services.

1.8. Valcome Innovation GmbH and any content presented through Valcome.TV are for personal and non-commercial use only. If you purchase tickets to selected events, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access Valcome.TV and to view the content you purchased access to on a live streaming-only basis.

You agree to use Valcome.TV for non-commercial purposes only and you are prohibited to use it in any way to make any gain, whether financial or otherwise. You will not allow any other person to use the service in such a way.

1.10. Any access to our content is conditional on all required payments, of which you will be informed before entering or concluding the ticket purchase. If payment is not successful or your payment information becomes invalid, we reserve the right to terminate your access to our content without a notice period. In case of such an event, we will inform you by email.

2. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Right of Withdrawal (Consumer Protection laws)

2.1. Right of Withdrawal

Generally, consumer protection laws give you the right to withdraw from any contract within 14 days without giving any reason, starting on the day of conclusion of the contract. In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, please send us, Valcome Innovation GmbH, Im Bäckerfeld 12a, 4060 Leonding, Austria, a message (via regular mail or email: support@valcome.tv).

2.2. Consequences of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from the contract, we will refund all payments which we have received from you via the same payment method used for your initial payment, unless we agree on another method. Refund shall be facilitated without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receipt of your notice of withdrawal. Refund is free of charge by us, however, charges by the payment service provider of your choice may apply.

2.3. Expiration of the Right of Withdrawal

In case of a contract for the supply of digital content that is not contained in a tangible medium, the right of withdrawal expires as well if we have already started with the performance of the contract after you (i) have expressly consented to us beginning with the performance of the contract prior to expiry of the withdrawal period, and (ii) have acknowledged that by your consent, you lose the right to withdraw from the contract upon the performance of the contract having commenced.

3. Payment and billing

3.1. All prices made public include taxes applicable at the respective jurisdiction (such as VAT and comparable taxes).

3.2. You are fully responsible for all charges relating to and equipment required for use of Valcome.TV.

We reserve the right to refuse to accept payments at our reasonable discretion.

3.4. The fee for a single event ticket will be billed immediately upon the ticket purchase. Tickets are only available for purchase on the day and a day the before the event is planned to be held. Any delay or cancellation of the event itself does not affect the validity of the purchase. If the event is delayed or moved to another time-slot or date, for example by the participating clubs, associations, leagues or other stakeholders, the ticket you purchased shall stay valid for the event and you may access the event at the new time-slot. If an event, you purchased a ticket for, is cancelled for good, you are entitled to receive a voucher for a similar event suggested by us or a refund, facilitated pursuant to Section 2.2.

3.7. Prices for tickets to single game events or game series might differ from other single game events or games series, even if these events are hosted by the same league or association.
