Our principle: In case of any problem, talk to us, we will find a solution that is better for both parties than any legal basis. Nevertheless we have to state the basic rules here.

Online store

The usual, current legal regulations in Germany apply.

Physical Goods: Payment by bank transfer in advance, delivery within 5 working days

Cancellation (physical books and Workshops): You have a 14-day right of return according to 312g and 355 BGB, the return of the goods is at your own expense. You are dissatisfied with our products/delivery incomplete/broken/chewed by the Wolpertinger? Then please contact us.

Right to delete your data: Please contact us

Partial delivery: If only a partial delivery is possible, we will clarify this personally with you. If we do not find a satisfactory solution for you, we will – of course – refund your money.

Data protection: We will not pass on your data to anyone unnecessarily, a matter of honor. We use your data to send you the goods and services you ordered and to get in contact about your purchase personally if necessary. See Data Protection.

Workshops

If a dispute cannot be resolved fairly, the following guidelines typically applied in tourism will apply.

Important points:

  • Deposit: The reservation becomes valid with a deposit of at least 50% of the course price.
  • Cancellation policy: In case of cancellation, we will find an alternative date together. Accruing costs for the already confirmed reservations of the external accommodations have to be paid nevertheless. Alternatively, the customer can provide a (suitable) substitute person.
    If no substitute person or alternative date can be found, the following free cancellation policy applies:

If you cancel your photo trip or workshop place before the start (after the legally required cancellation periods have expired) the following cancellation fees will be charged: (charges in percent)

  • X to 30 days before departure 50% (refund = 50%)
  • 30 to 0 days before departure 100% (refund = 0%)
  • Cancellation in case of force majeure: Natural disasters (avalanches/Covid regulations in the destination…) at the vacation destination, which make the fulfillment of the contract impossible, will result in the termination of the contractual relationship with the cancellation of mutual obligations, without any right to compensation.

Privacy

In our opinion, cookies are only suitable for eating and not for flogging them off to the highest bidder. Therefore, we prefer to eat them and leave you alone with them.
Contact: Whoever contacts us, we store their contact information for communication for the request, but do not share it under any circumstances. Word of honor. We do not store other data of our visitors.
General security: Our URL has a SSL certificate https.
It can be that one of the tools of this website sucks some data, but we can’t guarantee and take responsibility for that, we only use few of the common plugins for Worpress and only see unpersonalized statistics. Externally we use e.g. CSS stylesheets and Googe Web fonts for fast and attractive display. We have no other options for this. If you don’t like that, you have no other choice than leaving.
Comments: Probably not only our server (located in Germany), but also someone in the USA stores your entered data (email, first name, last name, possibly IP). If you don’t like that, better don’t comment or just enter free found fake data. Unfortunately, we cannot change the comment function. If you don’t want your data to be stored, don’t comment.
Newsletter: We use the service Mailchimp. Your entered data (first name, last name, email address) will be stored by us to send you the best newsletter ever. Mailchimp is based in the USA, which means that your data is also processed there. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. In addition, we have a double opt-in process, i.e. only those who confirm twice will receive the newsletter and their data will be stored

The legally required long form of data protection can be found here.

If you want to get information or delete your data, you can contact us at any time on the usual channels mentioned here several times.

Alpine dangers

We move partly in the alpine and high alpine area, here are greater dangers immanent. There is an increased risk of injury both to oneself and to third parties. The instructions of the experienced guide must be followed immediately and without fail. We are not liable for personal injury or damage to property in the event of any failure to follow instructions.
A physical and mental health as well as athletic resilience are prerequisites for participation. Medical concerns must be clarified in advance with an appropriate physician.

We recommend a mountain insurance for alpine emergencies and a general health insurance if you come on a trip with us. We believe every mountaineer should use this as it can save your life – it definitely saved ours.
